"Just living in this world is already very difficult."
"We live in mines that have been abandoned before the war, using the simplest tools and even bare hands to excavate Mines are exchanged for leftovers from other survivor camps. We have not harmed anyone. We just want to survive, but even so, some people have their greedy eyes on us."
Kneel down. The thin, dark man who told Gu Hang his sufferings was named Patel. He was neither tall nor strong, and his skin was rough under his dirty thin clothes. Judging from the appearance, it is exactly as he said, he is just a man digging for food in the waste mine.
Patel continued, "Eight days ago, a group of wasteland bandits calling themselves the Prisoners killed seventeen of us and kidnapped forty-two of us. The God-Emperor is the youngest among them. They asked us to pay a ransom, which we did, but they went even further. Not only did they not release him, they also asked us to give more."
"I went to Fuxing City and found it. The officials of the alliance asked them for assistance. They sent someone to send a warning to the prisoners, telling them not to mess around."
"Haha, warning. The day before yesterday, those bandits cut off two people at the door of our house. The child's throat was filled with blood and he tore the piece of waste paper into pieces. They claimed that we had to pay twice the ransom within three days, otherwise they would attack our mine, kill everyone, and take away our possessions. Everything."
"We are in a desperate situation. Some people say they want to escape, and some people say they have to fight with the robbers who have guns and cannons, even with hoes and fists. But I know that we are not. There is no way out, now the world has a new Governor. I must come to you, Lord Governor, I pray for your help, pray for your salvation."
Patel. Lower your head and be sincere. From his perspective, he could only see Gu Hang's boots. They were a pair of soft leather boots with satin-like ribbons and golden locks, which looked elegant and complicated.
I don’t know how long it would take more than 900 people from Dongshe to work hard to get these boots.
The boots moved in front of his eyes. Gu Hang folded his legs together and asked him in a more comfortable posture.
"Why don't you come first before looking for an alliance?" Look for me."
Patel was stunned for a moment, and could only think of a reason, and muttered, "We are a member of the alliance, and the alliance should have jurisdiction over this matter."
Gu Hang shook his head and said, "You think you are a member of the alliance and the alliance will protect you, but I am just an airborne governor. I may not be able to sit in this position for two years, just like the previous governors, because I can't express my gratitude to you." The empire paid taxes and was executed. You thought I was of no importance until the Alliance didn't care about your affairs and you had no other choice before you came to me."
"I definitely don't have such thoughts." Terrified to deny it, he gritted his teeth and made a great determination: "If you can save us, then we are willing to pay everything. The imperial tax in two years' time will be paid according to a higher rate.""Horizontal communication"
Gu Hang became even more disappointed, "Let me put it this way, Patel, you clearly know that I came to this planet a month ago, and my camp is here, Not far from you. But you never paid me a visit until something happened. You knelt in front of me and said, "Your Majesty the Governor, please save us." But from the bottom of your heart, you did not regard me as the real Governor. You didn't even want to believe that I came here for the first time. Declaration of time. "
"I said I would rebuild the entire wasteland world so that everyone who surrenders to me can live a good life. But you don’t believe it. Many of you never believe it. You only think of me as an annoying tax collector. You pay taxes in exchange for me saving your people, so how do you want to pay taxes? According to the imperial tax standards, all of you in the Wasted Dong Society can't afford to pay even if you work until you die from exhaustion in the mines. "
Patel's somewhat dark and lean face looked extremely nervous. "Your Excellency, Governor, I believe what you say. Please save us." ”
As he spoke, he was about to knock his head heavily on the ground.
But Gu Hang stopped him.
A pair of hands pinched his Shoulder, he lifted him to his feet without any resistance.
Gu Hang put his arms around Patel's shoulders and did not mind the oil and dust on his body at all.
"No need. There is no need to kneel down when kowtowing. For those of you who work diligently and diligently, I will definitely help. Those predators who do nothing to produce are our common enemies. But they are a small problem, rebuilding the world is the big deal. This is not an empty talk. Since you begged me, I will completely save you. Not only will I eliminate the prisoners, I will also help you, build your territory, and have enough food and clothing. Now, I ask you, do you believe me?"
Patel's tears fell down, and he didn't know how much was because he was moved, how much was because he was saved, and how much was because of acting. "I Believe me, I completely believe that Feidong Society will fight for your ideals from now on."
"This should be our common ideal. ”
Gu Hang patted Patel on the shoulder, “Go and rest for a while. I will personally lead my troops to rescue your compatriots in a short time.” ”
“Your Majesty the Emperor, my compatriots and I are extremely grateful for your help.”
Watching Patel leave with a guard and a lot of thanks. After the barracks, Gu Hang turned his eyes to the man in military uniform standing upright behind him, "Captain Yan, your eyes tell me that you are a little confused.
Yan Fangxu saluted him, and then hesitantly said, "Do we really want to help the Wasted Dong Society? On this wasteland planet, similar things happen almost every day. We Can't handle it. "
Gu Hang said regretfully, "It seems that Captain Yan doesn't believe my declaration either. "
"Don't dare. "Yan Fangxu said this, but he was really hesitant. "But with all due respect, Mr. Governor, you only have two years. Within two years, we must at least pay the imperial tax of the entire Raging Owl Star according to the minimum standard, otherwise "
Gu Hang followed his words and said, "Otherwise I will be dismissed and executed, of course I know. But, Captain Yan, we have been on this planet for a month, and you have seen what it looks like. . This is a place that has experienced a doomsday disaster. Most of the land is unfit for survival. The waste energy storm is still raging. There are mutated alien monsters and the remaining survivors who can only become bandits. , hiding in various settlements, struggling to survive."
"It is already very difficult for them to live, and they cannot afford such high taxes. Collection of taxes is equivalent to killing them and the planet. The contradiction between development is the main contradiction in the Raging Owl Star. In the past, the governors were focused on taxation. The biennial imperial tax was like a reminder, and it eventually took away their lives. But I am different. I want to change my thinking. Development is the last word. If Raging Star is built to be more prosperous and taxation is only a small burden, we will succeed."
Yan Fangxu sighed, "You are right. , development is the right way. However, development takes time, but what we lack most is time. Your first term is only two years, and you need to pay at least a quarter of the imperial standard tax, but the angry owl star has always been. I can only pay one-eighth, and there is still half the difference. If I want to double the planet’s output value, it will depend on my ability.” Gu Hang smiled, "It just so happens that I have some confidence in this aspect."
As he was speaking, an illusory message that only he could see popped up in front of his eyes
The 1st Servitor Light Infantry Battalion consists of 300 people. After training, the unit level has been upgraded to T5.
Limited by the equipment level and personnel quality, the unit cannot continue to train and improve.
Gu Hang’s smile got even bigger. He patted the still worried Yan Fangxu on the shoulder and said, “Let’s assemble our troops. It’s time for us to seek justice for our neighbors.”
