Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 30

Chapter 30, Pressure

Henry came to meet the Governor this time, and he was very surprised at the initial communication.

He got what he wanted without paying anything.

Of course, it was not that he didn’t have to pay.

After getting the goods, he had to pay for them, using the Union coins; the Governor provided a series of lists, asking him to buy this and that. He looked at them and found some of them difficult to handle, such as the Governor wanted the best textile machines and sewing machines in Renaissance City, wanted to import textile raw materials, wanted hot limestone generators, wanted hot limestone itself, wanted to build cement plants and brick plants…

Moreover, the Governor seemed to know the market very well, and the list and approval he gave allowed him to take away the goods this time, with a value that was not much different. According to his own estimation, the profit here was greatly compressed. If he wanted to make more money, he would probably have to find ways to sell the alloy plastic steel and armored vests at a higher price, and try to find cheap and easy-to-use sources for the things he bought for the Governor.

But even though it was difficult to handle, Henry was still full of motivation.

Isn’t this the time to show his ability?

If everything is easy to handle, then the Governor can just find someone to do the job. What does it have to do with me?

However, when the topic fell to the second half, he gradually became less happy.

It was mainly because of a very critical point.

Denison Henry wanted to get the exclusive sales rights of the alloy plastic steel industry.

This is a guarantee for his own interests. He needs this thing to ensure that the market path he has blazed will not be reaped by latecomers.

It is of course more profitable to exclude competitors and do monopoly business.

But Gu Hang did not allow it.

He argued with reason, saying things like “this way I can better serve the Governor”, “this will help me expand my influence in Garbage Town, and help you, the Governor, do more things in the future”.

However, none of his words could impress Gu Hang.

Gu Hang blocked him with just two sentences:

“I can give you the power you want, but I won’t give it to you for free. You haven’t done anything yet, why do you ask me for so much?”

“Prove your loyalty with your actions.”

Now that things have come to this, what else does Henry have to say?

He nodded heavily: “I will prove it to you, Governor.”

“Also, do one more thing for me.”

“Just tell me.”

“I need more manpower in my camp. There are so many refugees in Fuxing City who rely on the city to live. Bring them here.”

“No problem, I will definitely bring you healthy and reliable refugees, and the price is absolutely cheap.”

Gu Hang shook his head, looking very dissatisfied: “What’s the money to talk about? Those refugees are not recognized as formal residents by Fuxing City, but I recognize them. Every human on the Angry Owl Star is a subject of the empire and my subject. I want you to publicize my kindness, my policies, and my declaration to them, so that they can migrate here. If they have difficulties, you must provide them with necessary help, and I will even help them directly when necessary. Do you understand what I mean?”

Henry was stunned.

Why didn’t you understand?

Then you must have understood.

Free?

Don’t you want to get people here just because you don’t want to pay?

Henry looked very ashamed: “Yes, that’s right, I am shallow…”

But according to the Governor, it seems that there is no way out.

Although Fuxing City is large, it can only provide so many jobs and support so many people. Outside the city, there are refugees who cannot survive. It is not impossible to make these people willing to migrate here voluntarily through propaganda.

“But… Your Excellency, Governor, please forgive me. If we follow this method, the quantity and quality of the refugees who migrate may not be guaranteed. Those refugees who cannot survive are mostly the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled; those who are strong and healthy can still find a job to support themselves.”

Gu Hang waved his hand and said, “This is your job, to spread my will to the people, and it is also a manifestation of your loyalty. Don’t let me down.”

Damn, he really wants to get something for free!

Denison Henry could only helplessly say, “Yes, I know what to do.”

…

After sending away the ambitious merchants who were ready to do something big and had to satisfy their reasonable and unreasonable demands, Gu Hang immediately started another matter.

He asked his follower Zhang Chao to send another communication message to Fuxing City.

Wo Han, the Alliance Councillor, was a cultist, and Gu Hang needed to ask Fuxing City to give him an explanation.

Of course, how to explain it was not important. What

Gu Hang needed was an opportunity to make use of the issue.

He had to work hard to find this opportunity.

Now, there is a ready-made one.

A cultist councillor appeared in the Alliance Parliament, the nominal ruling body of the Alliance.

When Wo Han used the storm evil magic when he was resisting, Gu Hang almost laughed when he distinguished that it was not his own psychic power, but had some kind of source.

After capturing Wo Han alive, he had almost obtained the necessary interrogation and intelligence.

This guy, it is true that he believes in a cult.

Although he is not a devout believer, he does believe in the original owl beast sect’s theory, and is willing to provide convenience for the cultists in his capacity as a councillor, and will also offer money and materials.

He is not a core member, just a believer, who is just richer.

He also gained some things, such as receiving the “blessing of God” and mastering the storm magic; he can let the cultists help him do some secret things that he can’t do.

In fact, when he was looking for trouble with the governor this time, he wanted to let the original angry owl sect take action, but they refused because they didn’t have enough manpower and they were busy with other things.

With these confessions and Wohan himself being alive, Gu Hang had the greatest capital to make trouble.

After connecting with the communication with Renaissance City, the person who talked to Gu Hang was still the chairman of the alliance, Miriam Hodgson.

“Hello, Governor.” Hodgson opened his mouth to greet first.

Gu Hang didn’t give him any face, and his tone was very stern: “Mr. Hodgson, I am very disappointed with your work.”

Hearing the words of the Governor, old Hodgson already felt a nerve in his head aching.

The Governor is going to start making trouble again!

I gave you the large amount of materials you wanted; I also sold the people you wanted me to sell; what else do you want now?

Hodgson replied weakly: “Please show me, Governor.”

“Allied members can be corrupted into heresy? How did you do it as the Speaker of the Parliament? Is the Parliament of the Alliance still loyal to the Empire? Has Renaissance City become the lair of the original Owl Beast Sect now?”

Gu Hang’s mouth was full of accusations.

Hodgson didn’t expect Gu Hang to say such a piece of news. A big pot was put on his head, and he was stunned.

Before this, he didn’t know that Wohan was a cult member.
