dragon trainer

Rong You once again deeply reflected on himself, why he fell into the enemy's beauties so many times, but every time he didn't have time to react...Uncle Xiao Ming is also a dragon!Dragon nature is obscene!He is not the kind of pure-hearted and independent immortal at all!

The most exaggerated thing is that after Prince Ming finished his adultery, he could continue to live his life as a retired veteran cadre in a fairy-tale manner.Except for sweets, his basic necessities of life are very rigid, and he basically obeys the arrangement of artificial intelligence.

This reminds Rong You of a very old joke: Who is the most powerful person in the empire?Not the emperor, but the person who arranged the itinerary for the emperor.

After the status reaches a certain level, time becomes a precious but not scarce resource.Some nobles are good at doing business, but this is exchanging time for money, which is often looked down upon by people in the circle; some nobles will delve into politics, but in fact their official positions are only related to the class of the family. It is just used to pass the time; some people start to eat, drink and play, play with birds and walk dogs-this is neither derogatory nor commendable. There are really many arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that are carried forward and passed down by dudes.

But in short, the aristocratic circle of the Galactic Empire is proud of wasting time and ashamed of cherishing life.Whoever can play new tricks is the romantic figure of this year; whoever works honestly and diligently to make money is a vulgar alien, a nouveau riche whose spirit is bound by material things—he cannot be regarded as a true nobleman.

Rong You will know this, the earliest was at Fu Xing's banquet, when two thugs came to mock him for not being able to taste wine.At that time, he thought it was just nitpicking, but later he discovered that to live decently in the center of the empire, you must have several necessary skills, namely: drinking, hunting, and playing various party games.

If you don't know these points, even if you have the position of viscount, the gentlemen won't like to talk to you.

But...if you have a dukedom, things are very different.

Among the hundreds of billions of people in the entire empire, less than 0.01% of them can hold titles, and titles are divided into three or six grades, starting from earls and going up to the highest titles.As for the duke... since ancient times, only relatives of the Shenlong royal family can get it, and it has to be the kind that is very favored.For example, a certain grand duke who was enshrined before Rong You, his mother was the younger sister of the former empress, his father and the prime minister were righteous brothers, and he also had an older sister who was married to a protoss and was almost a queen. Status——With such a prominent relationship, it was because his father died of illness in his post that the emperor raised his title to the Duke, which was considered a disguised appeasement.

Of course, Rong You's brother and sister are also Dukes.The heir to the throne naturally has a duke title...but others don't know Rong You's identity.

After Rong You and his title entered the file, everything changed.It's just that he has been in Emperor Star before, so he has never been clear.

Some people want to invite Rong You to some kind of banquet, this is a very reserved one, most of them are masters with titles.

More people are straight to the point, some want to introduce their female relatives, some want to mention business cooperation.Among these cooperations, there are many types. For example, someone wants to invest in Rongyou's private territory——

Rong You asked at the time: "What kind of investment method?"

The other party's reply was so fast that Rong You thought that the other party was an artificial intelligence: "First invest 2000 million, and you will have full control over the construction of the territory. We will find time to investigate next year. Do you think it is suitable?"

Rong You: "..."

The corner of Rong You's mouth twitched at that time, and there is such an operation?

He was silent for a while, and said cautiously on the other side: "If next year is not suitable, you can set another time. We can make any arrangements here. In addition to money and capital, we also cooperate with communication and transportation companies. First, every Do you think it is suitable for a galaxy to invest in a transit warehouse spaceport?"

Rong You said: "I haven't gone to the territory yet, I have to read it before I talk about it, and I will reply to you when the time comes."

The other party was flattered: "No problem, no problem! When you are free, just ask the secretary to contact us."

This conversation couldn't go on, Rong You simply and neatly hung up on his artificial intelligence.

Yes, Rong You also has artificial intelligence, which was directly obtained from the Imperial Academy of Sciences, so you can't do without it.

In the laws of the Galactic Empire, artificial intelligence exists as a dangerous tool, so they are divided into three levels of S, A, B, and C according to their intelligence levels. chores.As a civilian, no matter how much money you have, you will never be able to find a B-level artificial intelligence to be a secretary. This is as strict as the empire's control over arms.

But as a Duke, if he wants to, no matter which artificial intelligence research institute he speaks to, he can immediately get the latest and most cutting-edge technical support.Rong You was originally able to get an S-level artificial intelligence, but that level is almost indistinguishable from that of a human being. Rong You felt that it was awkward to use such a "person", so he specifically asked for an A-level artificial intelligence - the artificial intelligence of Prince Heming. Same level as Isidore.

Rong You named her little artificial intelligence Athena, and chose her image as a Bingshan Royal Sister.

Di Ming watched the whole process, and finally said: "Xiaoyou, I can't see that you still like this type."

"...Actually, I just picked one at random!" Rong You laughed.

In fact, Rong You had played 300 games in his mind, and finally chose the image of Bingshan Royal Sister.First of all, he can't choose a man, artificial intelligence is beautiful no matter what the image is, a prince with a small belly will definitely be jealous; second, he can't choose a gentle type, all his understanding of gentle women comes from women's clothing bigwigs Li Yaohe's fantasies about his mother in the early years, he would feel very awkward to use such an artificial intelligence; in the end, the iceberg type has an advantage, he can easily remind himself that this is a robot, not a real person.

Even A-level artificial intelligence is already very human-like in terms of emotional intelligence.To some extent, it might be more real than Shuanglou.At least it will know when the master is talking ironically, but General Shuanglou... um.

With the artificial intelligence Athena, Rong You first has the ability to quickly pass through the territory information he just got.

The emperor gave him a hundred star systems, all of which were in the Cassiopeia constellation, with a diameter of about twenty light-years.One side of this territory is adjacent to the territory of Empress Rong Zhao, and the other side is adjacent to an unowned star field - in the Galactic Empire, the income of such places is generally directly provided to the royal family.

Rong You, who wanted to glance at it at first, was a little surprised, and said: "The star domains that have not been allocated, and the handover of the star domains that have not been completed, the tax revenue will all belong to the royal family, and it will not be used for the national treasury?"

Prince Ming said: "Territory tax will be returned to the national treasury. In places like this that are in a transitional period, the royal family has always taken advantage of loopholes to find more income."

Rongyou, the territorial tax he mentioned, has also seen it just now.For example, in the Duke's territory, Rongyou can formulate four types of turnover tax, income tax, capital tax and population tax.Although the tax rate has upper and lower limits, it’s okay for the lord to scrape off the ground by three meters... Before all these taxes go into Rongyou’s small treasury, [-]% will go to the national treasury. This is called the territorial tax, and the rest The Qian Empire will not care about it.

Rong You asked Athena to calculate the income of these places during the transitional period, and she was a little tongue-tied after seeing it, and said: "With so much money, the emperor is so rich..."

"On the contrary." Prince Ming smiled when he heard the words, "He is too poor to get rid of the pot. Back then, the husband and wife had a quarrel, and the emperor wanted to plant a sea of ​​flowers. He borrowed money from the wealthier; the queen wanted to dig a laborer." Hu, she asked me to borrow people. What money do you think they can have?"

Rong You was dumbfounded, and said, "Why did all the money go? Could it be that you raised more than 2 dragon blood relatives?"

Prince Ming said: "Most of them are used to repair and maintain the imperial palace. 6000 years of old antiques have filled the entire Emperor Star. How much do you think it will cost each year? As for the monthly payment of the dragon blood members of the royal family, it has always been borne by the treasury. Last year Eat up one-third of the fiscal revenue."

"This ratio is too scary! Did they grow up eating gold!" Rong You said angrily.

Prince Ming said solemnly: "There are indeed some people who eat gold mines, relying on their racial advantages to eat rare ores every day. If you want to see him, I can call him over to perform."

"..."

Rong You was completely speechless, and sighed: "It's really 'the rich man's wine and meat stinks, and the roads are frozen to death'. This situation has to be reformed sooner or later, otherwise I think the empire's finances will be ruined..."

"For so many years, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Government have been trying to reform. This cause has dragged down almost five generations of Ministers of Finance, and it has only just begun to show signs." Prince Ming said again, "You don't have to worry about this, I will support you That's it."

Rong You fell sideways with a happy face, leaning on him to adjust her sleeping position comfortably.

After a while, Rong You stared at Athena's report and said, "Why are there so many things...personnel, law, taxation, garrison, trade, diplomacy...ah, I can't finish reading this month! "

"Don't be in a hurry to finish it, and you don't have to really finish it." Di Ming said, stretching out his hand to gently stroke his hair, touching the little black dragon very tightly - Rong You took the initiative to rub against his palm, feeling a headache Much better.

At this moment, Prince Ming said again: "Do you still remember the envelope your brother gave you?"

Rong You suddenly remembered this, when they came back yesterday they had so much fun that they forgot...

Now opening the envelope again, Rong You found a list on it, looked at it for a while, and said, "My brother seems to have sent me an advisory group."

Prince Ming nodded and said with a smile: "Thought about going together. Xiaoyou, you have to learn to lead others now."

Rong You said: "I will, thank you, I was also a general, don't forget my star flower medal."

Di Ming's smile deepened, he pinched his face, and said, "You're thinking wrong, little guy. You don't need to take the lead, and you don't need to be encouraged. You just need to learn one trick first, and you will be invincible in the world."

Rong You took a deep breath, and after being mentally prepared, he asked, "Which move is it?"

Prince Ming said: "Put the check on the coffee cup."

Rong You: "..."

Prince Ming said again: "If it doesn't work, light a cigarette with an electromagnetic gun, and ask him to reconsider in a friendly manner."

Rong You: "..."

The impact was too much.

How on earth did this man manage to deliver such terrible lines with the elegance of a banquet speech!
