Chapter 156: The 156th Iron Pillar
The return of the new moon made the entire capital star joyful.
Since the order of frugality came down, all large-scale banquets have been kept simple.
It's just that today, the financial headquarters doesn't plan to be stingy anymore.
The welcome banquet is held, the delicacies are prepared, and the few remaining gems in the warehouse are used.
The royal palace finally got its owner, and the loneliness sealed in the hustle and bustle was broken. There was a lot of hustle and bustle, and the lights and festoons were festooned.
In a remote corner of the palace, the palace was shrouded in darkness, giving it a somewhat gloomy and treacherous feel.
In a corner of the second floor of the palace, the curtains were pulled back a little, and the owner of the room looked out through the gap in the curtains.
There is a festive decoration in sight, silently telling the joy of this royal palace.
The palm on the curtain tightened suddenly, with too much force, causing the curtain to wrinkle, but a few seconds later, as if all the strength was suddenly drained, the palm let go.
Susie leaned against the window, feeling extremely complicated.
For more than half a year, Xinyue has been away from the palace for more than half a year.
Every day when the other party was away, she tried to make the drone listen to her command again as before.
But she failed.
The drone, who once bowed down to her, is now more than respectful, but like a weight, it can't command at all.
In the past six months, Susie didn't know how Yan Tao and Dido felt. Anyway, she herself lived in anxiety, expectation, tension, and worry every day.
She is anxious about the future, expecting Xinyue to die unexpectedly, nervous about what she has done, and worried that the drone will be instructed by Xinyue to rush in and kill her at some point.
Each emotion stretched a long rope around her body, pulling hard in different directions.
Now that the new moon is back, Susie feels a sense of relief—"Finally, I don't need to plan anymore", "She's back, and it's impossible to change anything".
Suzy leaned against the wall and let out a breath.
Forget it, so be it.
Even if she wants to make trouble, she will never be a leader.
Susie thought so, in the palace not far from her, Dido, who was also secretly observing the outside, was also quite rich in mental activities.
She has a much more explosive temper than Susie, and her temper is as explosive as a firecracker. She has extremely high requirements for the quality of life, but that was in the past.
Since witnessing Madonna die in front of her own eyes, Dido has been frightened into a quail.
She hated Xinyue, but hated Suzie who wanted her dead even more.
There was no one to be seen behind the crescent moon, and the high position and weight was a mountain she could not shake, so this hatred was like flowing water, descending from the heights, all concentrated on Susie.
Xinyue left the palace for more than half a year, and Dido and Susie fought in the palace for more than half a year.
Now that the owner of the palace is back, Dido's heart is ready to move.
Xinyue couldn't get rid of it, but Susie wasn't sure. With Xinyue's hand, she might be able to press Susie to death.
It's just... She has to get closer to Xinyue.
Susie and Dido still have the courage to think carefully, but compared to them, Yan Tao, who is already timid, is very honest.
She understands too well that now she is "depending on others", and her life and death are completely in Xinyue's hands.
If she is disobedient, the other party can kill her by raising his hand.
She doesn't care about the throne any more, as long as she lives.
On the night when Xinyue came back, the dust-cleaning banquet lasted until one o'clock in the morning.
Xinyue returned to her room. The room had been tidied up before, and it was tidy and clean. The vase in the corner was even filled with bright and delicate flowers.
The floor is covered with a pure white animal hair carpet, the beautifully shaped and delicate dining table is covered with a light golden feather tablecloth, and a set of tea sets are placed on the table, waiting for the owner to use.
There was a hint of sweet floral fragrance in the air, no matter in terms of the environment, the astonishingly large bed, or the exquisite decoration in the room, it was more luxurious than any room that Xin Yue had lived in in the past six months.
Xinyue went into the bathroom to take a comfortable bath, changed into her nightgown, and came out of the bathroom barefoot.
At the moment when she was lying on the big soft bed, Xinyue thought to herself:
No wonder Hingis threw the bee family's things out so hard. This kind of enjoyment is really pleasant.
This idea is like a small fish that drilled out of the water to play on the surface, only to be eaten by another big fish as soon as it emerged.
That big fish was called: Debts
Xinyue sighed heavily thinking of that seemingly endless debt summary.
I don't want to, go to sleep first.
Long life debt long life repayment, just do it bit by bit.
But in fact, it was not Xinyue's turn to think about it at all-
she had a terrible dream that night.
In the dream, Xinyue realized that she had become a land reclamation worker.
The captain of the squad she was in often shouted with a loudspeaker: Only when the sea in front of their home is filled can they be released home.
The hard-working workers can only pull carts of stones and throw them into the sea. They work repeatedly every day, eat black bread, and drink refined seawater that still has a bitter taste. The squad leader held a whip in his hand, "Hurry up and work, these are debts, and you can go home only after you have
filled up the debts." No, let's move away, as long as we move far enough, the debt won't find us."
The captain sneered: "I don't want to pay back? Be careful to provoke the sea god to be angry and drown you with a big tsunami. Do you know that scene? All the big fish and small fish in the sea rush up with the tsunami, and their mouths will be on you Bite off a piece of meat!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
Xinyue suddenly opened her eyes, staring blankly at the veil embroidered with exquisite patterns on the top of the bed.
A few seconds later, Xinyue came back to her senses and found that it was someone knocking on the door.
Think again, oh, Xinyue remembered.
Before the show ended last night, she told Shen Junlin that there would be a meeting at 9:30 this morning.
Pressing the communication button on the bedside, Xinyue said, "Wait for me for five minutes."
The knock on the door stopped.
Five minutes later, the door opened.
Shen Junlin, who was waiting outside the room, was taken aback for a moment, and the handsome man's eyes flickered, "Your Majesty, did you not rest last night?"
Xinyue lied, "I just came back, and I was a little excited."
She was It is impossible to admit that I have a nightmare, and I still dream of being urged to pay back the money.
Xinyue had just woken up and hadn't eaten breakfast yet. After Shen Junlin accompanied him to have breakfast, the two went to the study together.
Catherine was already waiting at the door of the study.
The glamorous and tall woman put on the clothes of the palace guards. The team uniforms of the worker bees and the drones are different. The drones are white and gold, while the worker bees are red with white as the base.
"Good morning, my dear Majesty." Catherine had been waiting here for 20 minutes, but she didn't show any irritation on her face.
What is twenty minutes? Been waiting for half a year.
Xinyue nodded, and pushed open the door of the study room first, "Come in."
The study room is well lit, stepping on the morning light that slipped in from the window, Xinyue walked around the large desk and sat on a chair, "Tell me briefly About half a year."
More than half a year ago, before leading the army to set off, she left Shen Junlin and Catherine on the Capital Star and asked them to jointly supervise the internal affairs of the Capital Star.
Of course, in addition to the usual internal affairs, there are quite a lot of leftover documents that need to be sorted out.
Before Hingis, the short-lived Landi was the king of the Bee Clan. The latter passed away not long after he ascended the throne, and he had accumulated a lot of work.
After Hingis came to power, he didn't take over at all, and the previous documents were piled up in the corner and no one cared about them.
The documents of the two queens, accumulated over the past century, were all placed on the small team of Shen Junlin.
Even though Shen Junlin and the others worked extremely efficiently, it took more than half a year to sort all the documents into categories.
The report started from the debt work, extended through the economic line, and the topic turned to the construction of the frontier star and many backward planets.
Xinyue had a headache hearing that, but had to ask: "How many residential areas below E-class planets are there in the domain of our family?"
The planets of the bee family are divided into levels.
This rating is based on the planet's per capita income.
The per capita income of planets such as E is 35,000 yuan per year, which is about 3,000 yuan a month.
If it is placed in a weak clan, three thousand yuan a month is not bad, but for a strong clan like the bee clan, three thousand yuan is really not enough.
Shen Junlin: "Planets below E, including E-level planets..."
He paused.
Xinyue's brows twitched, "Tell me, I can bear it."
Shen Junlin: "There are 829, which is a quarter of our clan's permanent area."
Xinyue: "..."
Xinyue was shocked , "A quarter? So much??"
Catherine said helplessly, "Your Majesty, the gap between the rich and the poor in my family is a bit big."
Like the central galaxy where the capital star is located, this place is full of gold, and it is the most developed area of the entire bee family.
The several galaxies next to the capital star are also hundreds of streets away from the border.
After listening to the detailed report for an hour and a half, Xinyue already understood the current situation of the entire ethnic group.
In fact, all kinds of things can be said in two words: lack of money! !
Xinyue pressed the center of her eyebrows, "There is still 200 billion yuan left in the indemnity I received from Montang Puying, and I plan to invest this money in the construction of civilian airships and air platforms.
" To stimulate the economy of a place, transportation is definitely a major factor.
Increase the number and frequency of civilian airships, and also increase the route, and move the route from a wealthy planet to an economically inferior star.
And then introduce corresponding encouragement and subsidy policies to stimulate the economy.
After this series, 200 billion is actually not enough. After all, there are 829 planets below E and so on.
Xinyue sighed, "Let's take it step by step, starting from the Jungar galaxy in the east."
The Jungar galaxy is the southeastern border of the bee family domain. This galaxy is scattered, like a big glass ball and a small glass ball. Boxes packed together.
This is known as the "slum" of the bee family. There are 32 habitable planets in a galaxy, of which 20 are E-level and 9 are F-level.
The economic backwardness here is not without reason.
One is that the planet is not rich in materials, and the other is that there are very few aircraft supply points and air platforms on the planet.
The third is that this is a former war zone. After the war, the repair work was not done well, and the broken equipment was piled up there.
The local people definitely want to do post-war restoration, but they don't have the financial ability.
Only after August 14, 4731 in the Interstellar Xuan Year, everything changed.
