Gou Chen, the North Star.
Zheng Gan landed his spaceship on a plateau on this mountainous planet. The person who came to greet him was Qisama, the supervisor he appointed from the Suramo tribe, but Zheng Gan liked to call him Sachima.
Qisama was the personal guard of the Suramo Crown Prince Rilius, but was demoted to a slave due to factional strife within the Suramo tribe while Rilius was trapped in the space channel.
Although Lilius returned home safely later, according to the laws of the Kingdom of Suramo, slaves could no longer serve as royal guards. In desperation, Lilius could only let Qisama come to Zheng Gan to act as a messenger between the two of them.
Looking at Qisama, who had been depressed since the beginning of their acquaintance, Zheng Gan walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Hey, Sachima, long time no see!"
Qisama still respected Zheng Gan very much. Although others didn't know it, as a messenger between Zheng Gan and Lilius, he naturally knew that it was the human in front of him who saved their crown prince.
Therefore, Qisama did not get angry at Zheng Gan's ridicule. Instead, he clapped his hands helplessly and said:
"Boss, you haven't left the space station since you came to Gouchen I. I'm still surprised to see you on the North Star today."
Although Qisama is now a secret guard of Lilius, he works for Zheng Gan on the surface, so naturally he calls Zheng Gan "boss".
Hearing Qisama's name, Zheng Gan curled his lips:
"Hey, Old Ma, didn't I tell you not to call me boss? I'm not like those bastards from the giant companies!"
"Really, boss? I also remember telling you not to call me Sachima."
After meeting Zheng Gan, Qisama knew that the human in front of him was a ruthless person with a vicious heart and a poisonous tongue, so he did not tolerate him. Although the people of the Sulamo tribe advocated the use of force, they were not fools.
"Old Ma! Stop calling me boss. I'm ordering you in the name of your... uh... boss... bah, no, I'm ordering you in the name of Lilius!"
“Okay, boss!”
"peat!"
......
After chatting with Qisama for a while, Zheng Gan began to inquire about the situation of Polaris with a resentful look on his face. As a mountainous planet, there are still many mineral areas on Polaris. Although there are not many living people, the expected output can still fill Zheng Gan's empty wallet a little.
"Boss, there are currently two synthetic factories on Polaris, 150,000 mechanical synthetic workers, four mining districts, one alloy district, and two agricultural districts..."
Listening to Qisama's report, Zheng Gan weakly rolled his eyes at the man from the Suramo tribe. The Suramo people looked a bit like the lizard people in Western fantasy novels. According to classification, they were carbon-based creatures like humans, and even similar in category to mammals. According to the arrogant statement of humans, the Suramo tribe belonged to humanoid creatures.
God knows how such a weirdo could appear among the Suramo tribe, which is always known for its bravery. Oh~ no, Lilius is an even bigger weirdo. This is called like master, like servant!
Qisama's eloquent report showed his excellent ability in internal affairs. Zheng Gan had to admire him. He was worthy of being the guard of the crown prince and one of the cabinet members designated by Lilius. His level was really not to be underestimated.
"Any news from Lilius?"
After listening to the report, Zheng Gan also asked about Lilius's news. Based on the conversation between Lilius and him after he escaped from the space channel, Zheng Gan also had a general understanding of the political situation of the Suramo tribe.
As the Suramo clan was a royal military state, the struggle for power between the royal family and the parliament was quite fierce. Lilius was a reformist, which naturally aroused the murderous intentions of the conservative parliament.
If Zheng Gan had not intervened, the Kingdom of Suramo would probably have started a civil war due to the grief of King Suramo losing his son.
After returning safely to the kingdom, Lilius began a secret purge of the parliament. According to Lilius's intelligence, the Suramo Supreme Council is connected to the human giant enterprise, and it seems that the connection is with Aguero and Valtom. This is why Zheng Gan can openly buy the Gou Chen 1 star system located on the border of Suramo through the Valtom Association.
When the war breaks out, who makes the most money? Then the country's strength is greatly reduced and capital invades the country to work. What a familiar plot! You are really worthy of it, giant enterprise!
Zheng Gan first saved Lilius, and then had a conflict with the giant enterprise, so naturally the two became allies. Therefore, it was not without reason that Zheng Gan chose the galaxy of Gouchen to implement his plan.
In fact, the member of the parliament responsible for the buying and selling of the Gouchen star system had long been secretly bribed by Lilius. Of course, as a price, one of Lilius's concubines was the illegitimate daughter of this member of the parliament. Lilius also often teased Zheng Gan about this matter, saying that he had sold himself to repay his gratitude.
Zheng Gan never had a good face for those bastards who showed off after they had a good time.
At present, Zheng Gan and Lilius have played a trick on the Suramo Conference and the giant enterprise. In addition, with the plane trade line in his hands and the good brothers of the Earth Union who have always wanted to tear some meat from the giant enterprise, Zheng Gan believes that when the time comes, he will definitely be able to teach the capitalists of the giant enterprise a good lesson.
"His Highness is doing well. He is currently arguing fiercely with those stubborn old men back home over the issue of changing the law."
Qisama also answered Zheng Gan's questions honestly, and then led Zheng Gan to continue walking towards the newly built mining area.
"Tsk tsk, didn't he brag to me that he had dealt with all those old men in Parliament? Marrying six wives with powerful backgrounds is useless."
Touching his chin, Zheng Gan was also a little surprised. After all, it was quite eye-opening that there was such a political system in the interstellar era. In his eyes, Lilius was just a prostitute. The question of whether he was the crown prince or not was all nonsense.
"Emmmmm...., it's because of this law that the First and Second Princesses' families don't support, so His Highness is arguing with his father-in-law."
As a huge alloy door was opened, Zheng Gan and Qisama walked towards the interior of a mountain. In this mountain, the reconnaissance robot discovered a large amount of alloy reserves. Today, Zheng Gan came here to check the quality of the alloy and then sell it to Lilius's private guards after it was mined.
Hearing about Lilius's current situation, Zheng Gan also laughed:
"You bastard! Every time he talks to me, he brags about how many wives he has. He even insisted on me giving him a gift according to our human customs when we got married. He did it six times, treating me like a sucker. This time, he'll get what he deserves. It feels good!
Oh, remember to tell Lilius that I have two friends from the Earth Alliance who will be coming to Gouchenyi soon. When the time comes, have them come over secretly and we can discuss a big deal! "
After saying that, Zheng Gan walked towards the mine in front of him. After taking out an ingot of alloy from a robot worker, he looked at it for a long time with shining eyes, and then put it on his face.
"Little money, hey, my little money!"
