Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 379

Chapter 378, Win-Win

The extremely high profits and value of the shipbuilding industry make Gu Hang very ambitious.

According to the construction period mentioned by Wu Jiarong, six years later, the total value of the ships launched by the Alliance Shipyard every two years will exceed 3 billion tax coins. Although it is far behind the 20 billion ships launched by Feiyixing in four years, they have been developing for hundreds of years, and how long has the Alliance been established?

At this rate of development, the Alliance Shipyard will continue to grow. Maybe in ten years or so, it will reach the level of Feiyixing and complete its hundreds of years of development.

But at the same time, although the speed is very, very fast, so fast that even old naval veterans like Old Fofana think it is a foolish dream, but Gu Hang still has a feeling that time is running out.

It will still take a long time for him to have ships that can travel across the starry sea.

However, the good news is that Gu Hang is still young and there is still a long time to wait.

If we talk about life span, not to mention the life extension surgery that he can definitely afford now, just based on the psychic power he possesses and the essence of the warp he has mastered, he estimates that his life span will not be short.

Without life extension surgery, living for a few hundred years is not a big problem.

Although he is not an immortal, it is also quite remarkable.

Not to mention, if he really reaches the point where his life span is limited, Gu Hang still has one last trick.

Humans have limits, then I am not a human!

Embracing the essence of the warp, Gu Hang can immediately achieve immortality.

Of course, it is still a long way to go.

Gu Hang just told himself in this way that there is no need to rush, time is on my side.

Thinking of this, his mentality really gradually calmed down.

…

In the next few months, Gu Hang basically traveled around the three places of Wrathful Owl, Black Arrow, and Korojia.

Listen to the government reports of this planet, visit some places on the spot, and give some instructions.

At this point, to be honest, Gu Hang can no longer manage the alliance of this scale by himself. Relying on the government and the officials under his command is a must. Gu Hang’s own work, on the other hand, should further focus on “managing people”.

In essence, it is to see whether his will is implemented by the officials. If yes, then reward; if not, then criticize and demote; malicious dissenters and corrupt elements will be sent to court.

For Gu Hang, he has a particularly important advantage over most rulers in the world: he understands people’s hearts.

He really understands, after all, he has the gift of mind power.

Of course, he can’t use his mind power to spy on the minds of every subordinate. In fact, he rarely does so. On the

one hand, it’s not good, he doesn’t want to become a witchcraft tyrant who uses mind games to rule his country. If so, he won’t be able to hear the voices of others. The wisdom of one person is far less than that of a group – provided that the group is developing in the right direction.

On the other hand, he can’t do it. He can spy on a person’s mind, but he can’t spend time to see the thoughts of his officials one by one, and then exert control. If he really does that, he won’t have to do anything else in his life.

However, not actively spying and not actively changing does not mean that the effect of spiritual power cannot be exerted. In fact, even if Gu Hang does nothing, when the person standing in front of him and talking to him has any special changes in his mind, the clear fluctuations of thought will be clearly visible in front of him.

Behind the smiles and tension of those officials when reporting their work, what is hidden behind is the confidence, lack of confidence, guilt, and the mentality of hiding secrets… Gu Hang can see it clearly.

To be honest, Gu Hang doesn’t care much about the officials’ little thoughts. He doesn’t have any mental cleanliness, and he knows that anyone, even his most trusted people like Ossena, Lambert, and Yan Fangxu, actually have their own ideas. They may not understand Gu Hang’s thinking very well, and they may have selfish motives…

This is too normal.

Or, this is the true face of human nature.

Even Gu Hang himself, at some moments, has he ever wanted to slack off and take a break?

As long as it is generally positive, it’s fine. Some selfishness, some paranoia, some confusion, some laziness, some resentment… just be moderate, Gu Hang just laughed it off.

Of course, if there are some particularly nonsense ones, just let the Alliance’s Anti-Corruption Bureau check it out. Gu Hang doesn’t mind using this method to catch some corrupt elements and dereliction of duty.

Half a year has passed.

At this moment, Gu Hang, who is on the Angry Owl Star, witnessed the first new ship of the Alliance being put into service at the Alliance Shipyard.

This is a “Flying Pig”.

Although it is just a transport ship, although most of its core components are produced from the black box, and although the dock for producing flying pigs has laid a good foundation long ago…

But in any case, this is the first ship produced by the Alliance in a serious manner-small gadgets like the Traveler do not count.

Its value is clearly stipulated in the imperial tax: 20 million tax coins.

At present, the Alliance Shipyard can produce a flying pig in half a year.

And now, there are 150 million people on the Angry Owl Star, and the annual imperial tax is only 15 million.

The production of one Flying Pig in half a year was more than enough to pay the tax.

Not to mention, Gu Hang didn’t have to pay the next imperial tax.

Not to mention the tax-free Koroja, the current alliance’s rated imperial tax was still 50 million tax coins a year, so once every two years, he only had to pay 100 million in taxes.

However, Gu Hang has paid a lot on the battlefield of Korojia.

The first is the replenishment and expansion of the Angry Bear Corps, as well as the consumption of various materials, supplies, and artillery shells. In the past two years, the Alliance has spent a total of 30 million on this. Originally, most of the Angry Bear Corps’ soldiers were replenished from Korojia, but now Korojia belongs to Gu Hang and is tax-free, so this part needs to be paid by the Military Affairs Department.

But the Military Affairs Department actually didn’t pay a penny, all of them were IOUs, and they can be used to offset taxes in the next tax season.

This is supported by the documents of the Imperial Military Affairs Department.

At the same time, the Dragon Eagle Corps received more than 3 million Korojia soldiers, of which more than 1 million were replenished in the form of a full army group. And after the war, the weapons and equipment, ammunition consumption, and logistical supplies of the Dragon Eagle Corps’ 3rd Army Group were all supplied by the Alliance, and the relationship with Fache was severed – regardless of whether Fache or the Dragon Eagle Corps was voluntary, it was the order of the Empire anyway.

In recent months, the Alliance has spent more than 80 million on this.

The two legions alone add up to 110 million tax coins.

During the tax season, the Empire still owed me more than 10 million.

In the future, even if the war is not so fierce, the annual regular maintenance costs of the Dragon Eagle Legion and the Angry Bear Legion will be about 80 million tax coins.

There is no need to worry about the imperial tax.

At least there is no need to worry about it in the few years when Korojia is tax-free.

And now this flying pig, Gu Hang “sold” it to Gu’s Trading Company at a bargain price.

This is to appease Gu’s Trading Company.

Gu’s Trading Company has been doing a lot of free work for Gu Hang for a long time. At the beginning, during the Korojia War, there were also military affairs departments that paid to help transport supplies and evacuate personnel, which were all orders placed by the Empire to Gu’s Trading Company.

But after the war, because the Alliance itself did not have the ability to transport on a large scale in the star realm, Gu’s Trading Company had a whole caravan that gave up almost all other orders and specialized in transporting for the Alliance, and the price was very cheap. Merchants

will be dissatisfied with this.

Gu Hang is the head of the family, and his mother is the actual helmsman, this is all true. However, Gu’s Company is not their private property, but a member of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, which has performance pressure. Moreover, the franchise nature is still strong today.

For this caravan serving the alliance, the prices of various transportation orders are very low, after all, it is short-distance transportation; but it cannot accept other high-profit orders, which makes people very dissatisfied.

Ms. Wang Qi can not make money to support her son, but she can’t let the people below do so.

Flying Pigeon is a good means of payment.

For a merchant fleet, the most important wealth is the ship.

This Flying Pigeon was sold to Gu’s Company at a bargain price of 10 million, which is enough to suppress many dissatisfactions.

With one more ship, there will be one more captain and many more positions, and some people can be promoted and get a raise. With more profits, the entire caravan can also make more money.

The main thing is to save a lot of money.

For Gu Hang, it is not a loss.

First of all, even if the selling price is 10 million, it seems to be sold at half price, but in fact the Alliance Shipyard still has a lot of profit.

Of course, the cost cannot be calculated in this way. The output of the black box is free for Gu Hang, but it is also wealth.

But the most important thing is that the Feitun was delivered to the fleet working for the alliance. In the end, wasn’t it still working for the alliance?

Transferring from one hand to the other, the fleet was appeased, the shipbuilding profit was earned, and the fleet capacity was increased… win-win!

…

After having a meal with the head of the caravan, his cousin Wang Jiarong, Gu Hang received a message.

Guests are coming.

It was a group from the Star Domain Government, which included representatives of the Star Domain Government, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Star Realm Army. The latter two even had two groups of people, one from the Dragon Eagle Star Domain and the other from the Eastern Universe.

People from the Star Domain were easy to deal with, after all, the current Minister of the Interior, Lao Yisi, had a good relationship with Gu Hang.

Why did the Universe Government come with a group of people?

What were they doing here?

Gu Hang did not receive them in person. The status of the visitors was not particularly high, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could receive them.

But soon, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came to report and asked the Governor to come out.

This group of people came to award Gu Hang with a medal.
