Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 215

Chapter 215: Mom’s Plan

After talking with Lambert Hodgson, when the heretic demon hunters began to recruit and prepare for training, Gu Hang received a special gift.

It was brought by a spaceship.

The Claw Tiger first intercepted the spaceship slightly, and then informed Gu Hang of the news.

Knowing that the spaceship came from the Gu family, Gu Hang thought about it and let the person in.

It was a small spaceship, which was estimated to be barely able to meet the standards of interstellar navigation.

After letting the person in, he saw the person soon.

It was an acquaintance.

The visitor was named Zhang Shicheng, a “housekeeper” of the Gu family. Since Gu Hang could remember things, he had been serving the Gu family – or his mother.

In Gu Hang’s impression, Zhang Shicheng did not have any special skills, and it was difficult for him to be independent in some things, but he had only one advantage: he was honest, reliable, and loyal.

It is worth mentioning that the only follower who followed Gu Hang to the Angry Owl Star was Zhang Shicheng’s son.

Now, the two of them can be regarded as a reunion of father and son.

However, before meeting his son, Zhang Shicheng still took care of his business first.

In front of Gu Hang, he said respectfully: “Master Hang, there are one hundred people coming with me on the ship this time. The mistress is worried that you have no one here in a remote place, so let us come together to help you. They are all newly recruited people in the family, top students who graduated from various higher education institutions on Feiyi Star, and have signed long-term work agreements with the family. I have brought those contracts with me. In short, if you have any place and need us to do anything, you can arrange it.”

In front of Zhang Shicheng, Gu Hang didn’t say anything.

But in fact, what he was thinking in his heart was:

Why do I think I have no one to use now? What did I do before?

It’s not that he has no one to use now.

Even if there is really no one to use, he doesn’t want to use a group of people from the Gu family who don’t know anything about their background.

I’m afraid that while they are using them, all kinds of information about the Angry Owl Star Alliance will be inexplicably transmitted to the sky.

Of course, Gu Hang is not so scared that he has to be on guard.

He just thought about it for a moment, and he planned to hand over the people Zhang Shicheng brought to Osena.

Osena has been very busy recently, and she really needs more knowledgeable people to help.

However, it is impossible for them to get in touch with the important and core work content.

Go to the countryside.

Zhang Shicheng was also cautious and did not say a word to these people. Now that

the people are here, Master Hang can use them however he wants, and even send them all to the mines as coolies.

After handing over this group of people, Zhang Shicheng mentioned the second important matter.

He called people and carried out several large boxes from the spaceship.

“This is the Star Language Communication Tower. Our people here can assemble it.” Zhang Shicheng said, “With the help of the Star Language, we can adjust the frequency in a directional manner and communicate with other Star Language Towers. The mistress said that Master Hang is like an isolated island here, with no contact with the outside world at all. This thing is used to help you.”

Compared with the previous one hundred young men and girls, this Star Language Tower brought pure surprise to Gu Hang.

Conventional means are not enough to communicate within the interstellar space. The physical distance between the Angry Owl Star and the Winged Star, the capital of the Pegasus Star Region, is so many light years that normal communication is impossible.

Only by sending astropathic messages and transmitting through the interstellar tunnel can cross-star communication become feasible.

But this thing is also an undoubted high-tech product, at least Gu Hang has never been able to extract it.

With it, Gu Hang no longer needs to pass through the Imperial Navy in the sky to transmit any information.

That way, there will be no secrets.

As for the need for astropathic communication, it is not a big problem.

The term astropath refers to a kind of psychic who has mastered special skills. It is a “profession” rather than requiring any special ability.

In theory, if Gu Hang really does not have a suitable astropath, he can learn the relevant technology and do it himself.

For a LV5 psychic like him, it should not be difficult.

However, even for this point, he does not need to do it himself, his mother has also thought of it for him.

There is an astropath on board.

What else can Gu Hang say?

He also understands what it means.

Helping to build interstellar communication capabilities, that is certainly one explanation.

But… Mom gave her son a mobile phone and a phone card, what is that for?

Gu Hang understands.

He was still a little entangled at first, but then he figured it out: don’t worry about being recognized or anything.

First of all, his cousin didn’t recognize him; secondly, everyone’s relationship is not very good. Gu Hang originally wanted to run away from home, and after some experience, his temperament changed drastically. Is there anything that can’t be understood?

Accept it if you want to, and forget it if you don’t want to.

As for why this call was made… Gu’s is the largest chamber of commerce organization in the Tianma star region, and its influence can even expand to multiple external star regions.

He is also a direct descendant of the family.

If this relationship is not used, it will be a waste.

He doesn’t have any psychological cleanliness, and he has to completely sever ties with his predecessor’s family, and there can’t be any intersection.

Just come normally.

…

The Star Talk Tower was built very quickly, and it was not very big. It was just a metal hollow tower about four meters high. The most important thing was the complex psychic device underneath.

Gu Hang simply placed this thing on the rooftop of the Governor’s Building, which he had rebuilt from the old Union Parliament Building.

With a communication line connected, his office could directly communicate with the star.

The star talker had a rest room in the building, and when Gu Hang needed him, he would go to the top floor to take up his post.

He did make this first “star call” to his mother.

After waiting for about a minute, the call was connected.

However, unlike what he expected, that his mother would appear in their mansion on the Winged Star, Ms. Wang Qi was now wearing a formal suit, and the environment she was in seemed to be in a starship.

“…Mother.” Gu Hang called out.

He thought that calling a “stranger” his mother would be difficult for him to open his mouth.

But it came out very smoothly.

Perhaps the potential influence of the previous life still exists.

Ms. Wang Qi, who was wearing a dark blue military uniform, but not quite the same, with her long hair rolled up in a bun at the back, had a serious expression, just as Gu Hang remembered.

She said, “Xiaohang, what’s the matter?”

Gu Hang resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said calmly, “Nothing, just thank you. Uncle Shicheng and his people have arrived, and the Star Language Communication Tower has been built. I want to tell you.”

“Okay, I see.”

“Yeah.”

The two began to fall into an awkward silence.

Gu Hang’s thoughts couldn’t help but drift away at this time.

In the memory of his previous life, after he grew up a lot, his communication with his mother seemed to be always like this.

Either they were silent, or they were arguing.

Retracting his thoughts, Gu Hang chuckled.

Ms. Wang Qi, who was opposite, was a little stunned when she saw her son’s relieved, calm and free smile.

She hadn’t seen her son smile in front of her for a long time.

It felt like her heart was hit by some special weapon.

But she quickly restrained her expression.

Gu Hang opened the topic: “Where are you now?”

“On the way to Black Arrow Star.”

“Going to Black Arrow Star?” Gu Hang frowned and quickly remembered something, “The family meeting held every six years is about to start again, right?”

“Yes.” Wang Qi nodded, and then as if she had thought of something, she added an explanation: “I didn’t invite you. It was my decision. Don’t mind. It’s not appropriate for you to participate now.”

“I know.” Gu Hang nodded first, and then asked: “Will Uncle Ming continue to be elected this time?” The

‘Uncle Ming’ he mentioned is his father’s cousin, the current head of the Gu family.

Hearing this question, Wang Qi showed a strange smile, which seemed a little disdainful and a little nervous, but eventually turned into a calm smile: “You will know in a few months.”

Gu Hang is not the silly boy in his previous life. He keenly sensed something.

“Mother? Do you want to do something?”

“You don’t need to know. Let’s talk about it when the time comes.” Wang Qi showed her usual dominance towards her son at this time.

Gu Hang would not retreat, nor would he spoil his mother.

“I have to tell you.” Gu Hang said, “If you have any action, please let me know. No matter what the actual situation is, in the eyes of the outside world, especially in the eyes of the family, we are one.”

“Heh…” Wang Qi laughed habitually and contemptuously, but was interrupted by Gu Hang before she could finish her words.

She only saw her son on the screen slowly stand up and tell her with a serious and serious expression: “Everything on the Angry Owl Star is steadily moving forward. There is infinite potential here. In my opinion, the value is greater than the entire Gu family. I don’t want the changes in the Gu family to interfere with my development plan for the Angry Owl Star.”

“What are you talking about? Your broken planet with an annual tax of 5 million tax coins is compared with the entire Gu family? Xiao Hang, after you have made a little achievement, you are so proud that you don’t know what your last name is? Gu’s Business Company, the 14 major caravans, the value of a caravan is much higher than your planet!”

Gu Hang didn’t want to lead the topic into a quarrel.

He calmed down, changed his mind and said, “Perhaps you don’t know, I estimate that this year’s output value can reach 34 million tax coins. Excluding taxes and local residents’ consumption, my planet can earn a production value of at least 10 million tax coins a year. And by next year, I am confident that I can double this number.”

“Do you have any idea, mother?”

“This has already reached the income of a family caravan.”

“And how much is the construction cost of a family caravan? The price of the five armed merchant ships of the Beautiful Girl Caravan is at least more than 1 billion tax coins, but the annual profit is only 20 to 30 million tax coins at most. Is there room for a caravan to grow further? My planet does. With the growth of population, the recovery of productivity, and the passage of interstellar trade, the profits produced here will increase significantly.”

“Why can the Fachers family look down on the district leaders on the left and ignore the navy families on the right in the Pegasus star region? Because they have three growing and powerful planets, they are the largest sponsor of the Astra Militarum forces in the Pegasus star region, and this is their confidence.”

“And I will probably make the Wrathful Owl Star a place that is no worse than the three planets of Fache. Do you want to interrupt my path?”

Wang Qi was silent.

After a while, she said, “My son, of course I will not hinder your path. On the contrary, as long as what I am going to do succeeds, your path will be extremely smooth.”

“What if it fails?”

“It won’t fail.”

Gu Hang smiled, “Is there any plan in this world that will never fail? Even the Divine Emperor can’t do it.”

“Be careful with your words!”

“Just telling the truth.” Gu Hang said, “So, can you tell me now, what exactly are you going to do?”

Wang Qi struggled for a moment, and finally sighed because of her son’s performance.

She really couldn’t treat her son as a child anymore.

“You should know that…”

Then, she roughly said her idea.

There was no specific plan or implementation plan involved, just an idea: Wang Qi wanted to seek the position of the head of the Gu family.

And Wang Qi herself couldn’t sit in this position. If she succeeded, the person who sat in this position would be Gu Hang.

She had been planning for this for many years. She had vowed that she would take back everything her husband had lost.

The so-called “lost things” were undoubtedly the family head position that should have fallen into her husband’s hands, but accidentally became Gu Ming’s.

Although the Gu family is quite a franchise system, the head of the family cannot be regarded as the final word. Especially in recent years, after Gu Hang’s grandfather passed away, his cousin Gu Ming took power, and this situation of separation became more serious. Gu Ming’s prestige in the family is far less profound than that of the old head of the family.

After taking over the business, Wang Qi relied on her own superb skills to directly control four of the fourteen major caravans of the Gu family; the other four were her “allies”, which was more than half. She can also exert a certain influence on the remaining six caravans.

The family meeting held every six years will elect a new head of the family. Now that she has such a situation, she can certainly strive for the position of head of the family.

Her original plan was for Gu Hang to be the head of the family. But in her heart, Gu Hang was a useless person. She wanted to be in charge of the government for a few years.

When Gu Hang grows up, she will hand over all the business to him.

Of course, it is possible that Gu Hang will not grow up, but that doesn’t matter.

She will ask Gu Hang to have more children, then start a new account, train his grandson, and then find a real successor.

The fact that Gu Hang became the planetary governor before getting married and having children caused a big problem for her plan.

Those allies began to question whether the plan could be carried out.

In this sense, Gu Hang’s predecessor didn’t have to worry too much about his own safety.

His mother would never let him die.

But Wang Qi had planned to pay the first installment of the imperial tax, and then find a way to get Gu Hang out of the position of planetary governor, and then get her plan back on track. However,

what she didn’t expect was that Gu Hang had secured his position as planetary governor over the past year, and it seemed that he would have no problem paying the imperial tax. Moreover, the Angry Owl Star seemed to be thriving.

This was an unexpected surprise.
