There were still spots of crystal white snow on the rose petals. When they arrived at the study, two rows of dragonriders guarded the door vigilantly with guns. After verifying the pass projected by Mi Su, they gave way to an aisle.

The little emperor's study room is still as bright and spacious as before. The middle space is covered with a whole piece of Persian carpet, two wall-mounted bookcases connect the floor and ceiling, and a leather sofa and rosewood low table are placed near the window. .

Outside the glazed window is a large rose garden.

Chu Mingyuan, who was still wearing a royal robe at the ceremony just now, changed into plain clothes and went to work again.

Several miniature projectors were placed on the table, and virtual light screens stood in front of Chu Mingyuan.

In front of him on the right is a projected map of the astrology of the sixteenth district of the empire. The star orbits are entangled according to the ratio of revolution and rotation. The red marks are space fortresses. The interstellar channels and military communication towers are distributed near each fortress. The important environmental control system And the transportation situation of the channel is also monitored in real time by the main star.

This is the Murles galaxy. The main star briefly lost control of this galaxy a few days ago, and it has just recovered.

Chu Mingyuan didn't have much relaxed expression on his face.

In fact, the troubles to deal with after the war were much more complicated than the war itself.The little emperor hadn't closed his eyes for several days, and only closed his eyes for a while before today's ceremony.

Before fleeing, the Marlborough family messed up the star field near the Sri Lankan main galaxy.

They not only destroyed military equipment, damaged communication towers and infrastructure facilities, in order to delay the progress of the imperial army's recovery of Murles, but also hyped up the tyranny of the little emperor in front of the people of the galaxy.

This caused small-scale civil riots within the planet to occur in many areas after they fled, and the Sirius Guards stationed there were resisted by the common people.

After all, it has been ruled by the Marlborough family for hundreds of years. For most people in the star field, the Lord of Sri Lanka is too far away, let alone the great government of the Noah Empire.

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and they don't listen to anyone.

Afterwards, the Marlborough family was wiped out overnight, and the chaos was exacerbated by numerous warlords.

Now the little emperor is facing such a mess.

When Chu Mingyuan saw Jiang Chengzhou, his frown finally relaxed a little, as if he was waiting for him to approach.

This is his chief guard, someone who Chu Mingyuan can sleep soundly in front of him, the little emperor is very relieved of him.

However, Jiang Chengzhou did not step forward.

He glanced at Shi Han beside him, and chose to stand with him.

Chu Mingyuan frowned imperceptibly, and turned his eyes to the young man next to him, but only for a moment, and then quickly looked away.

The little emperor and the dragon clan have met several times in video conferences, but it is better to summon them face to face

First time.

It has to be admitted that the Dragon Clan has excellent combat capabilities, but because of this, if they start too aggressively, they are likely to be used by others.

The big tree attracts the wind, and he has already provoked many political enemies for himself.

Originally, a lieutenant could not be received by the emperor in person, but Chu Mingyuan had heard some gossip among the ministers.

This made the little emperor a little distressed.

Rewards for meritorious deeds are sometimes not so easy to reward - if the military rank is too high, the empire will express different opinions; if it is low, it is equivalent to providing some people with a reason to sow discord.

In the end, Chu Mingyuan chose to suppress his military rank, and promoted Jiang Chengzhou to a new noble at the same time. The ceremony was held together, and all the glory was concentrated on Jiang Chengzhou alone, which was regarded as avoiding the limelight for Lieutenant Mu.

He learned how to control the sheep since he was a child, and he knew that it was okay to squeeze the wool, but he couldn't make the sheep's heart cold, so he always wanted to find an opportunity to make up for it.

Chu Mingyuan supported Yi with one hand, and said lazily: "I heard that Lieutenant Mu still has a battle summary report that he hasn't done yet. Gu just happens to be free today, so you can report here directly."

This kind of report is actually dispensable. Important military information was sent to the Minister of Military and Political Affairs of the Palace as early as the first time, and the think tanks were on the side to make suggestions.

Now that everyone is back, the timeliness of reporting is almost gone.

Chu Mingyuan just wanted to find an excuse. After Lieutenant Mu finished his report, no matter whether his impromptu performance was good or bad, the reward would be over.

He now only needs to consider what kind of reward is more appropriate.The military rank and status have been given, and the rest is nothing more than gold and silver treasures.

The orcs lack a stable source of income, and it is said that there is still an education problem for a juvenile ferret that needs to be resolved, and the dragons and mermen are still students in school, and the future expenditure is expected to be not small.

By the way, the shark had to be released from the palace. When the ministers entered the palace and saw that face, many of them lost weight in fright.

Jiang Chengzhou quickly figured out what the little emperor meant.

Although he secretly passed Nan Ruoyu's news to the little fellow, in fact, Jiang Chengzhou himself learned about the war later - he was in the third district at that time, and the military information had to go through countless space transfer stations before it could be delivered to him. Here, for safety reasons, Jiang Chengzhou did not interfere with the affairs of the Dragonrider Pioneer Corps.

Jiang Chengzhou has always felt that he is a good little fellow: smart, courageous, and generous, and he doesn't need to worry about it, except for small things like sudden heat.

If he had a better temper, there would really be nothing to criticize.

But speaking of temper, among the Shen Nian, Chu Mingyuan, Nan Ruoyu that Jiang Chengzhou had been in contact with... Which one is easy to deal with?In comparison, the little fellow's unremarkable stinky temper can be called "warm and moist as jade".

Jiang Chengzhou decided to find a way to "break the ice" after leaving the study later.

Children, tempers come and go quickly, just coax them.

War summary reports generally talk about the results and achievements of the battle.

But Shi Han only briefly summarized the situation in the Murles galaxy.It's all relatively outdated news. Since he returned to Jindu and handed in the dragonrider mech, he hasn't received any information related to the battlefield.

The Dragon Clan doesn't seem to have much ambition, let alone feel aggrieved by being provoked by others over the issue of rewards.

Chu Mingyuan was a little relieved.

Shi Han's report was very short, and after three or five sentences, there was basically nothing to say.

When the little emperor was still thinking about how much to reward in order to continue plucking the wool happily, he heard the "sheep" say: "This time I went deep into the Murles galaxy, and I went to a total of 13 habitable stars with a large population, and brought Returning a list may be useful to Jiang...Sir Condra."

Jiang Chengzhou:? ?

He didn't know what list the little fellow had in his hand, but he heard from Longqi that the suppression of the rebellion gradually became smoother in the later stage, and the ranks of the resistance forces became smaller and smaller, so the little fellow began to do galaxy research.

They didn't know what to investigate. Everyone was very busy at the time, and these 13 planets suffered the most losses, so post-war reconstruction was an inevitable task.

Chu Mingyuan became interested: "Show Gu."

Shi Han turned on the optical brain to retrieve the data, and connected it to the projection equipment in the study.

Soon, a huge screen of light appeared in front of Chu Mingyuan, almost hanging from the ceiling to the floor.

Jiang Chengzhou was surprised and said, "This is...?"

It is densely packed with military files of the Murles galaxy.

The archives have been classified, some of them are talented generals who were not reused during the Marlborough family's rule, and some were even imprisoned because of the internal struggle in the galaxy.

All the military files of these people were called up, and all training results and evaluations were clear at a glance.

The other part is the file of military officers in service.Many local garrisons obeyed the command of their superiors and fought for Murles to the end. Even though they were abandoned by the nobles, they still never forgot their mission as soldiers.

Some of the names of the little emperors are very familiar - according to the intelligence sent back from the front, these people stubbornly resisted and pledged their allegiance to Murles' rebel army.

The corners of Chu Mingyuan's mouth drooped, and he said, "What is this?"

"As your Highness can see, this is the list of Murles' surviving soldiers. The war is initially set, the galaxy facilities need to be rebuilt, and the army also needs to be reorganized, otherwise the star robbers will come soon. In the period when a large number of talents are needed, these One can pledge allegiance to Sri Lanka."

The little emperor slid his finger on the light screen lightly, and his voice was slightly cold: "These people are fighting with Gu's dragon rider in space, why do you think they will work for Gu."

Shi Leng said: "At the beginning of the war, it was precisely because of the lack of generals around him that His Highness couldn't use it in the hall, so he thought of asking me to take the dragon rider to Murles."

These words were the fault of the little emperor. Jiang Chengzhou glanced at Chu Mingyuan, coughed lightly, and sent out a reminder.

Shi Han remained unmoved: "A general who does not accept the orders of his ruler abroad is a famous general and a hidden danger. For the vast majority of soldiers, obedience and execution of orders from superiors is the first principle, and this does not represent their own position,"

Chu Mingyuan was thoughtful.

"Most of the soldiers on the list have already become prisoners. It is easy to kill a soldier, but if you want to train so many loyal senior generals, it may not be possible in ten or eight years."

Burn|kill|loot|loot star robbers will not wait ten or eight years.

Chu Mingyuan did not speak, but picked up the photon pen on the desktop, clicked on the detailed information of several generals on the light screen, and then closed it again.

He quickly goes through the long list.

It is roughly estimated that there are more than 35 people in the golden age group from 55 to 2 years old.

The little emperor's face turned pale, and finally he raised his chin haughtily, and agreed: "What you said makes sense, but it's not easy to deal with these diehards."

Shi Han said: "Since Mr. Jiang was named the lord of Murles Star, he must have considered this issue."

Jiang Chengzhou did think about it, but because the power had not been delegated, he didn't have time to take action.

He only arrived in Jindu the night before, and Chu Mingyuan was also in a hurry to finalize the title - Shen Nian's power was dormant, and the empire had no time to respond, now is the best time, any later would be afraid of accidents.

Jiang Chengzhou can only order people to collect data and then screen and distinguish it only after he takes over the Murles galaxy and becomes the ruler of the small galaxy.

God knows his little fellow has already helped him complete this part of the work.

Jiang Chengzhou was overjoyed.

He naturally appreciates it, not only that, but the male lead is also a little guilty - if he had known earlier, he shouldn't have accused the little fellow of being mean-spirited. He is just conservative in thinking, and there are so many things to consider for him behind the scenes!

I don't know how long it will take to sort out these files alone.

What Jiang Chengzhou didn't know was that Shi Han asked Nan Ruoyu to organize these files.Nan Ruoyu from the School of Military Information was originally favored by Professor Han Li because of her excellent logic and clarity.

He is familiar with processing these data, built a model, and let Xiao Fei sort it out directly.

Jiang Chengzhou hurriedly boasted: "It's hard to fight for you and you have to do so much analytical work, which I should have done when I took office."

Shi Han turned his head and ignored him at all.

Jiang Chengzhou: "..."

If this matter is done, it will basically solve the current urgent need - what Chu Mingyuan is most worried about is the counterattack of the warlords and star bandits, when the time comes, the main star will have to send heavy troops to stabilize the situation.

It is not a good thing that the strength of the core star field is weakened.

The little emperor's brows and eyes finally eased a little, and his eyes fell on the young man again, as if he was looking at him so carefully for the first time.

Black hair and blue eyes, deep facial features, the color of his eyes is better than any piece of blue sea, even the most beautiful Paraiba gems in the palace are not as stunning as the pure color in his eyes.

The little emperor was stunned suddenly, and instantly remembered a painting - the eyes of the person in the painting also seemed to carry the sky and the ocean, showing a soft color.

The obsidian-like eyeballs dimmed, Chu Mingyuan managed to restrain his thoughts, and said in a low voice, "Go ahead and do it, sir, you have all the orders from the lord."

This was said to Jiang Chengzhou.

Jiang Chengzhou took the order.

He thought it was over.

However, Shi Han continued: "In addition, during my investigation during the garrison period, I found that although Murles is not a heavy industry and technology star field, its export trade ranks among the top three in the entire [-] districts. With this economic foundation, The small galaxy taxation method is still the oldest poll tax—regardless of the production capacity, whether it is a landlord or a commoner, it is obviously unreasonable to pay the same tax.”

Chu Mingyuan nodded after pondering for a moment: "That's right."

"It's okay to say that when the tax is not high, it will affect the financial revenue of the galaxy government at most, but in the process of checking the accounts, I found that the government has applied for funding from Jindu every year, and the tax has also increased exponentially every year,"

Chu Mingyuan frowned again.

Shi Han: "...Most of the financial expenditure is used to station troops and fight against the star bandits. Mr. Jiang went to the Murles galaxy to investigate and found that the nobles wantonly amassed money to expand their private properties, while the star bandits are still rampant. The safety of the people There is no guarantee at all.”

"The local people are blocked by the news and have been ruled by the same family for generations, and they don't realize what's wrong at all."

"If you want to quell the turmoil in the Murles galaxy, you can start with taxation first, but during this period, you must pay attention to stabilizing the middle class and war refugees, and avoid serious dissatisfaction among these two types of people due to tax changes. They are now a very large proportion."

Shi Han pointed out the financial problem sharply, and at the same time projected a set of data, which was clear and clear.

After listening for so long and seeing these intuitive data, Chu Mingyuan's eyes were already burning a little.

Jiang Chengzhou immediately stated: "I will finish the public opinion survey as soon as possible, and submit the new collection policy as quickly as possible."

Chu Mingyuan didn't even look at him, so he asked, "How fast?"

Jiang Chengzhou gritted his teeth: "Within three days."

He had investigated in Murles for a while and made some preparations, but social conflicts were not as intense as they are now, and Jiang Chengzhou was not the lord of Murles, so it was inconvenient to intervene in many things.

The situation is completely different now, the little emperor is eager to prove to the empire that he can hold the sixteenth district stably, otherwise the first galaxy will appoint a regent.

Once he was really assigned, it would not be a good thing for Jiang Chengzhou.

Shi Han didn't continue talking for a while, Jiang Chengzhou thought it was over, and when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, his little fellow said again: "Just now we talked about war refugees. According to statistics, the number of directly affected people is 94.5 billion. , the indirectly affected population is probably around 10 to 20 times that number."

The population of the planets in the empire is not as rare as Cambrian. The entire Cambrian has only 1 million people, but Sri Lanka has a population of 200 billion.

"The resettlement of refugees and the reconstruction of their homes all require the support of the main star."

It’s easy to say if you want money. Sri Lanka’s economy is developing well. The Dragonrider Vanguard Corps intercepted some of the properties transferred by the nobles. Under the feudal system, resources were in the hands of a small number of people. Affordable, no need to mobilize his small galaxy's taxes.

Chu Mingyuan's sitting posture has changed from resting his chin on his hands to leaning forward - this is a sign of concentration.

Shi Han hit the nail on the head, these incidents caused the little emperor to barely sleep a wink these days, he was reviewing each item, and had to hold a meeting with the ministers to discuss it.

Chu Mingyuan may have some plans and ideas in mind, but he still needs to listen to suggestions and opinions, which really makes him feel that the progress is slow.

Every point that Shi Han put forward was accompanied by solutions and precautions. It happened that Jiang Chengzhou was also there, and Chu Mingyuan dispatched tasks one by one immediately.

"...It is not enough to just strengthen the inspection of the border zone. The wandering star has a meteorite belt as a natural barrier, but the Murres galaxy does not. If you want to know the movement of the star thief at the first time, you can start with the CR-1201 star Starting point, every 12 cosmic units will establish a sentry, and use the double insurance method of artificial intelligence and the army to implement 24-hour observations along the border."

"However, to deal with the star robbers, annihilating the intruders is far from deterrent. There are too many interstellar merchant ships. Once the merchant ships leave the country, it is difficult for the government army to implement all-round protection for them,"

"For the leaders of the forces in the Wandering Star Belt, I have distinguished some lords who have not caused chaos in the past 20 years."

"These people are usually older, and among the star thieves, they are all famous and surnamed seniors. Due to their age, they are likely to be annexed by other star thieves in recent years. A proper win-win situation can achieve a win-win situation,"

"Of course, from the perspective of an army commander, I am more in favor of annihilation in one fell swoop, but the basis of annihilation is strength. Murles is currently in internal turmoil, and the internal must be settled first."

As Shihan's "report" became richer and richer, the smile on Jiang Chengzhou's face gradually disappeared.

The Marquis of Nolan was originally engaged in the people's livelihood, and each sentence is clear, logical, well-reasoned, and feasible.It was like an invisible whip that turned Comrade Jiang Chengzhou, who had just taken the position of lord, into a burning spinning top.

When Jiang Chengzhou saw such a "hard-working" orc for the first time, he felt a sense of crisis that he had never felt before:

The promised orcs are not introverted?

The system stared dumbfounded at the host's 47 effective suggestions in one breath, and sighed in admiration: "Wow, Si Guoyi..."

Chu Mingyuan, on the other hand, had a scorching light in his eyes, as if he had discovered a treasure.

Those veteran officials liked to bargain with him because of their seniority.

The little emperor needs to cultivate his own strength, but after all, there are not many subordinates as versatile as Jiang Chengzhou, and Mu Han is the second one he found.

Are orcs so easy to use?

This was the doubt in Chu Mingyuan's heart.

After a "report", the sky outside the window was completely dark.

Night lights in the distance came on.

The more the little emperor listened, the more joyful he became, the gloominess hovering in his eyebrows and eyes disappeared, and he even showed a rare smile.

When he smiled, he showed two pointed canine teeth, no different from children of the same age.

"You solved one of Gu's problems, lieutenant," he praised without hesitation, "you also pointed out a bright path for the rebuilding of the Murles galaxy."

"Tell me, what reward do you want, as long as you can satisfy the capable minister, you will definitely not be stingy."

Jiang Chengzhou's mind was full of people's livelihood, people's livelihood, border defense and police circles. In a trance, he heard the little fellow say, "I want to ask your highness to marry me."

Chu Mingyuan asked in surprise, "That's all?"

Jiang Chengzhou also stared over.

Shi Han nodded.

One second he was a shrewd and ruthless politician, and the next he turned back to the appearance of a young man in love.

Sleeping and sleeping, and agreeing to the marriage proposal, he is a responsible man, but Naihe faces an objective problem: "I haven't reached the legal age for marriage..."

Jiang Chengzhou didn't understand, "So why are you so young?"

The expression on the male protagonist's face seemed to say: "It's so easy to dismantle my CP, but you are in a hurry to get married, won't your conscience hurt?"

Shi Han: "..."

He didn't like to share private matters with others, especially Chu Mingyuan, who was raised by himself, always felt that it was very awkward to make such a request to his eight-year-old nephew, so awkward that even the tips of his ears blushed.

But obviously, Chu Mingyuan and him were not thinking on the same channel.

The other party proposed many strategies that benefit the interstellar people's livelihood, but the rewards they asked for were so simple. The pride of the lord of Chu Mingyuan's galaxy was stimulated, and he said sullenly:

"Why is it so difficult? You made such a simple request, do you think there is nothing you want here?"

"?"

Shi Han looked puzzled, thinking how Chu Mingyuan became more and more uncertain as he grew up, turning his face faster than turning a book.

The little emperor saw him stunned in place, and thought that the other party had never learned court etiquette, so he couldn't have the same knowledge as him.

After finding a reason for the other party, he finally calmed down a bit. Chu Mingyuan simply said directly: "I need you to continue to serve the Sri Lankan government after graduation. I heard that civilians have to buy wedding houses when they get married. City S is too far away." , you just pick a real estate in Jindu."

After finishing speaking, as if afraid of being rejected, he added forcefully: "You are not joking."

Shi Han grew up in Nolan Villa, and when he mentioned his residence, this was the first place he thought of.

But obviously this is not an industry he can take back now.

When Chu Mingyuan mentioned the real estate in Jindu, it reminded Shihan of one thing.

"Since His Highness is so generous, I would rather obey orders than be respectful."

The little emperor raised his chin slightly, with a look of "just speak", the young man was full of spirit.

Shihan had a smile on his face:

"Chen wants the duplex apartment on top of the Petronas Towers."
