Chapter 215, Mom's plan
After chatting with Lambert Hodgson, when the heretic demon hunters started to recruit and prepare for training, Gu Hang received a special gift.
It was brought by a spaceship.
Claw Tiger first intercepted the spaceship, and then reported the news to Gu Hang.
Knowing that the spaceship came from the Gu family, Gu Hang thought for a while and let people in.
It was a small spaceship, probably barely able to meet the standards of interstellar travel.
He let him in, and he saw him not long after.
Still an acquaintance.
The person who came was Zhang Shicheng, who was a 'retainer' of the Gu family. Ever since Gu Hang could remember, he had been serving the Gu family—or his mother.
In Gu Hang's impression, Zhang Shicheng didn't have any special skills, and it was difficult for him to be independent in certain things, but there was only one advantage: he was honest, reliable, and loyal.
It is worth mentioning that the only follower who followed Gu Hang to Nu Xiaoxing was Zhang Shicheng's son.
Now, the two of them can be regarded as father and son reunion.
However, before going to see his son, Zhang Shicheng still got his business done first.
In front of Gu Hang, he said respectfully: "Master Hang, there are a hundred people who came with me this time. The mistress is worried about your place, which is in a remote place and no one is available. Let us help you together." Some are busy. They are all newly recruited by the family. The high-achieving students who graduated from various institutions of higher learning on Flying Wing Star have signed long-term work agreements with the family. I also brought those contracts. In short, what do you need? What those of us do can be arranged."
In front of Zhang Shicheng, Gu Hang didn't say anything.
But in fact, what he thought in his heart was:
Now I think I have no one in my hands?Why did you go early.
Now he is not useless.
Even if there is really no one to use, he doesn't want to use a group of people from the Gu family who don't know anything about it.
I'm afraid it's not for use, all kinds of information about the Fury Star Alliance have somehow spread to the sky.
Of course, Gu Hang wouldn't be too scared to death, he had to be on guard.
He just thought about it for a while, and he planned to hand over the group of people brought by Zhang Shicheng to Ossina.
Ossina has been crazy busy recently, and she really needs more help from knowledgeable people.
It's just that it's impossible to let them get in touch with very important and core work content.
Let's go up the mountain and down to the countryside.
Zhang Shicheng also kept his attitude and didn't say anything to these people.
People brought them here, so Master Hang can use them as he likes, and he can throw them all to the mines as coolies.
After handing over this group of people, Zhang Shicheng mentioned the second serious matter.
He called for someone, and several large boxes were lifted out of the spaceship.
"This is the Xingyu Communication Tower, and our people here can assemble it." Zhang Shicheng said, "With the help of the Xingyu people, you can direct the frequency modulation to communicate with other Xingyu Towers. The mistress said, Master Hang, you can use it here." Like an isolated island, it has no connection with the outside world at all, and this thing is here to help you."
Compared with the hundred boys and girls before, what this Xingyu tower brought to Gu Hang was pure surprise.
If you want to communicate in the interstellar range, conventional means will not work.The physical distance between Nu Xiaoxing and Flying Wing Star, the capital of Tianma Star District, is not known how many light-years, normal communication is impossible.
Only by sending star language messages, also through the astral tunnel, can the communication across the star field become feasible.
But this thing is also an out-and-out high-tech product, at least Gu Hang has never been able to extract it.
With it, Gu Hang didn't need to send any information, but had to transfer it through the imperial navy in the sky.
There are no secrets like that.
As for the astropathic communication, it needs to be operated by an astropath, which is not a big problem.
The term astropath refers to a kind of psyker who has mastered special skills, and belongs to a kind of 'occupation', rather than requiring any special abilities.
Theoretically, if Gu Hang really doesn't have any suitable astropaths under his command, he can learn the relevant techniques by himself and do it himself.
For an LV5 level psyker like him, it shouldn't be too difficult.
However, even for this point, he didn't need to do it himself, his old mother also thought of it for him.
There is an astropath on board.
What else could Gu Hang say?
He also understood what it meant.
To help build interstellar communication capabilities is of course a way of saying it.
But... my mother gave her son a mobile phone and a calling card, what is that for?
Gu Hang understood.
He was still a little confused at first, but then he figured it out: don't worry about being recognized or anything.
First of all, the cousin didn't recognize her; secondly, everyone's relationship is not very good. Gu Hang wanted to run away from home, but after going out to practice, his temperament changed drastically. Is there anything I can't understand?
If you love to accept, accept it, if you don't accept it, you will fall down.
As for why you made this call... Gu's is the largest chamber of commerce organization in the Tianma Star District, and its influence can even expand to multiple outer star districts.
He is also a direct descendant of the family.
If you don't take advantage of this relationship, you will be blind.
He doesn't have any mental obsession with cleanliness, so he insists on completely breaking away from his predecessor's family, and there must be no intersection at all.
Just come normally.
...
The construction work of the Xingyu Tower was very fast, and it was not too big. It was just a metal hollow tower about four meters high. The most important thing was actually the complex psionic device below.
This thing, Gu Hang simply placed it on the top floor of the Governor's Building that he rebuilt from the old Alliance Parliament Building.
After connecting a communication cable, his office can directly carry out interstellar communication.
The astropath has a rest room in the building, and when Gu Hang is in need, he will go to the top floor to work.
This first 'interstellar phone call', he did call his mother.
After waiting for about 1 minute, the communication was connected.
However, unlike what he had expected, the old lady would appear in their Flying Wing Star's mansion, Ms. Wang Qi was wearing a formal attire at the moment, and the environment she was in seemed to be inside a starship.
"...Mother." Gu Hang called out.
He originally thought that calling a 'stranger' his mother would make it difficult for him to speak.
As a result, the exit was very smooth.
Maybe, the potential influence of the predecessor still exists.
Ms. Wang Qi, who was wearing a uniform similar to a dark blue military uniform, but not the same, with her long hair curled up in a bun at the back, had a serious expression, just like the stern look in Gu Hang's memory.
She said, "Xiao Hang, what's the matter?"
Gu Hang resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and said flatly: "It's nothing, just thank you. Uncle Shi Cheng and his people have arrived, and the Xingyu communication tower has also been built, let me tell you."
"okay, I get it."
"Ah."
The two fell into an awkward silence.
Gu Hang's thoughts couldn't help drifting away at this moment.
In the memory of his predecessor, after he grew up a lot, his communication with his mother always seemed to be like this.
Either they are relatively silent, or they are arguing.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Gu Hang chuckled lightly.
Ms. Wang Qi, who was opposite, was a little stunned when she saw her son's relieved, calm, and free and easy smile.
She hasn't seen her son smile in front of her for a long time.
It felt like my heart was hit by some kind of special weapon.
But she quickly restrained her expression.
Gu Hang started the topic: "Where are you now?"
"On the way to Black Arrow."
"Go to Black Arrow?" Gu Hang frowned, and quickly remembered something, "Is the family meeting held every six years again?"
"Yes." Wang Qi nodded, then thought of something, and added an explanation: "I didn't invite you, it was my decision, don't mind, you are not suitable to participate now."
"I know." Gu Hang nodded first, and then asked: "This time, will Uncle Ming continue to be elected?"
The 'Uncle Ming' he was talking about was his father's cousin, who is now the head of the Gu family.
Hearing this question, Wang Qi showed a strange smile, seemed a little disdainful, seemed a little nervous, but in the end it all became plain again: "In a few months, you will know."
Gu Hang is not the idiot from his previous body, he sensed something keenly.
"Mother? Do you want to do something?"
"You don't need to know, let's talk about it later." At this time, Wang Qi showed her usual dominance towards her son again.
Gu Hang will not retreat, nor will he spoil his mother.
"I have to tell you." Gu Hang said, "If you have any actions, please be sure to tell me. No matter what the actual situation is, from the outside world, especially from the perspective of the family, we are one."
"Heh..." Wang Qi laughed habitually and contemptuously, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Gu Hang.
She only saw her son on the screen stand up slowly, and said to her with a serious and serious expression: "Everything in Fu Xiaoxing is steadily improving, and the potential here is endless. In my opinion, the value is greater than that of the entire Gu family." , I don't want Gu's changes to interfere with my development plan for Nu Xiaoxing."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How does your broken planet with an annual tax amount of 500 million tax coins compare with the entire Gu family? Xiaohang, did you drift away after making a little achievement, and don't know what your last name is? Gu's firm, the [-]th largest caravans, the value of a caravan is much higher than your planet!"
Gu Hang didn't want to bring the topic into the quarrel.
He calmed down, changed his mind and said: "Maybe you don't know, I estimate that this year, there will be an output value of 400 million tax coins. In addition to paying taxes and local residents' consumption, my planet will The output value that can be earned is at least 1000 million tax coins. And by next year, I am sure to double this number."
"Do you have a concept? Mother?"
"This has reached the income of a family caravan."
"And how much is the construction cost of a family caravan? The price of the five armed merchant ships of the beautiful girl caravan is at least one billion tax coins, but the annual profit is at most 3000 to [-] million tax coins. A caravan still has Is there room for further growth? My planet has it. With the growth of population, the restoration of productivity, and the passage of interstellar trade, the profits produced here will increase significantly."
"Why is the Fachers family in the Tianma star area, can they ignore the head of the star area from the left, and ignore the navy family from the right? Because they have three growing planets, and they are the biggest sponsors of the Star Guard troops in the Tianma star area , This is their confidence."
"As for me, it will be possible to make Fury Star a place no worse than the three planets of Farchers. Do you want to interrupt my way?"
Wang Qi was silent.
After a while, she said: "My son, of course I will not hinder your path. On the contrary, as long as I succeed in what I want to do, your path will be very open."
"What about failure?"
"It won't fail."
Gu Hang smiled: "In this world, is there a plan that will never fail? Even the God Emperor can't do it."
"Be careful!"
"It's just the truth." Gu Hang said, "Then, can you tell me now, what exactly are you going to do?"
Wang Qi struggled for a moment, and finally sighed because of her son's performance.
It is true that you can no longer treat your son as a child.
"You should know..."
Afterwards, she roughly expressed her thoughts.
There is no specific plan or implementation plan involved, just an idea: Wang Qi wants to seek the status of the head of the Gu family.
And this seat, Wang Qi can't take it by herself, if she succeeds, the person who will take this seat will be Gu Hang.
She had been planning for this for many years, and she had sworn that she would take back everything her husband had thrown away with her own hands.
As for the so-called 'thrown things', there is no doubt that it should have fallen into the hands of her husband, but because of an accident, it became the position of Gu Ming's owner.
Although, the Gu family has the meaning of a franchise system, the words of the head of the family cannot be regarded as promises.Especially in these years, after Gu Hang's grandfather passed away, his cousin Gu Ming took power, and the situation of separation became even more serious.Gu Ming's prestige in the family is far less profound than that of the old Patriarch.
And after Wang Qi took over the business, relying on her superb wrists, she now directly controls four of the fourteen caravans of the Gu family; the other four are her 'allies', more than half of them.She can also exert some influence on the remaining six caravans.
The family meeting held every six years will elect a new head of the family.Now that she has such a situation, of course she can fight for the position of Patriarch.
Her original plan was for Gu Hang to be the Patriarch.But Gu Hang in the past was a little waste in her heart. She originally wanted to take care of herself and listen to the government behind the curtain for a few years.
Wait until Gu Hang grows up, and then hand over all the business to him.
Of course, it's also possible that Gu Hang can't grow up, and that doesn't matter.
She will ask Gu Hang to have more cubs, then practice a new account, raise her grandson, and then find a real successor.
The fact that Gu Hang became the planetary governor before she got married and had children caused a big problem in her plan.
Those allies began to question whether the plan would work.
In this sense, Gu Hang's predecessor actually didn't have to worry too much about his own safety.
His mother couldn't let him die.
But Wang Qi planned in the past that she would pay the money to fill in the pits for the first installment of the imperial tax, and then find a way to get Gu Hang out of the position of planetary governor, and then get her plan back on track. .
However, unexpectedly, Gu Hang has secured his position as the planetary governor in the past year, and it seems that he will have no problem paying the imperial tax.Moreover, Fu Xiaoxing seems to be thriving.
This was a pleasant surprise.
