However, when Soshiyan argued with the nobles, he no longer planned to end up in person, so he handed the matter over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
At first he had no confidence, but there were indeed talents in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He quickly formed a special war plan, which promised the nobles to have three privileges in the newly conquered areas - 100 years of tax-free development rights, 300 years of low-tax development rights and permanent rule, and to pay different levels of "donations" according to different areas and resource types.
According to the feedback from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the nobles were quite enthusiastic about this. Although many of the places occupied by the Red Pirates have become barren lands, the Great Vortex itself, as a trade node, does not rely heavily on the land population for a living, especially the Badabu sector. As the route center of the Great Vortex, even an asteroid has great economic value, so this project was warmly welcomed. The "donations" collected so far have exceeded expectations. Of course, all this also stems from their trust in the inevitable victory of the empire. After all, this is only a blank check at present.
Of course, the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually laid a lot of trouble for Soshiyang, because as the commander of the Supreme Lord of the Expeditionary Force, although he had great power, there was no clear division of responsibilities for the ownership of the post-war territory. Generally speaking, Terra was the ultimate appointment of the Governor of the Planet and the ruler of the Nest. However, there were some exceptions in history. In short, this matter was a confusing account, and this confusing account was ultimately due to Soshiyang and Terra's headquarters. This was just a "idea".
But for Soshiyan now, victory is everything, and as for the post-war affairs, he couldn't care about so much.
With the solution, Soshyan naturally praised the imperial department well, and then asked them to quickly sort out the materials they had collected into the logistics warehouse of the Expeditionary Force. Based on his understanding of the imperial bureaucrats, these things would "disappear" a lot of them if they stayed in their hands for one more day.
After dealing with this whole lot of things, Soshiyang finally had a short rest time.
Just as he was sitting in his personal office, he closed his eyes and pondered, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening and then opened his eyes.
He raised his head and saw Veronica walking in. Her white and jade-like slender hands were holding a steaming teacup, a plate of fresh fruits, bread, cheese and cold-cut silver tray. At this time, she was wearing a light green body-fitting dress, with slightly exposed shoulders, and an extra white dress like a gauze. She was wearing a green scattered flower skirt with green scattered flowers on her waist. She tied a small bow with a soft gold ribbon around her waist, and her hair was lowered and her head was stuck in a hairpin similar to a branch. With her slender and elegant figure and beautiful face, she looked like she was in the smoke and fog.
As soon as the other party came in, Suo Shiyang felt the breeze blowing on his face.
"What's wrong? I'm frowning again. Since the expedition started, I don't think you're in a good mood for a day."
Veronica walked to Soshiyang with light gait, put down the tray, pressed her palm on his forehead, and said softly:
"Look at it, they are all wrinkled into an old man."
"Oh, after all, it's a war. People die on the front line every day. How could they be in a good mood?"
Soshiyang picked up the teacup and took a sip. He felt the warmth flowing into his abdomen. After a breath, his body relaxed a little.
Then he asked casually:
"It seems that I haven't seen you wear this outfit?"
Veronica smiled charmingly when she heard this, and then walked around in place.
"Does it look good?"
"Um......"
"It was sent by that Miss Syllo Claremont."
Soshiyang raised his eyebrows and put down the teacup.
"She? Why?"
"How do I know? Probably... to please me? She has sent me a lot of gifts these days."
"Haha, these businessmen are more active than others. Don't accept things that are too expensive. They have shorter people. If she makes any requests in the future, how should you refuse?"
"I know~ Speaking of which, the subspace flow of the Great Vortex has been somewhat abnormal recently."
Hearing Veronica's words, Soshiyan turned his head. He was a little troubled by the lack of a psychic consultant because of Kayang's departure. He almost forgot that his wife should not be underestimated in the psychic field.
“What’s the situation?”
"It's hard to say that the tides of the Supreme Heaven often contain many possibilities, maybe it's a fluctuation in the Chaos Realm, or it may be someone who is conducting a huge ritual. Considering that it's a war now, it's necessary to pay attention to the possibility that the Red Pirates may summon demons on a large scale, or they will try to launch a sub-space storm to cause trouble for the logistics and support of the Expeditionary Force."
"Madam, what advice do you have?"
Veronica shook her head.
"The supreme heaven is really hard to figure out. It is not easy to just perceive. If you want to interfere, you often need to assemble a prophet of the ark to do it. It is possible, and you also have to use the power of the crystal dome of the ark. The best way now is to let the judges check whether the Red Pirates are making trouble. After all, large subspace rituals are often difficult to cover up."
"OK."
As he said that, Soshiyan activated the data board on the table, then contacted Marcus, who was still in the track, and explained the situation to him, hoping that the other party would mobilize the power of the inquisition to investigate as soon as possible whether the Red Pirates were preparing to cause trouble in the sub-space. If so, they would have to find a way to interfere and destroy it.
"Okay, no matter how busy you are, you won't be busy at this moment."
Seeing that Soshiyan was checking the latest information again, Veronica reached out to turn off the data board directly.
"You haven't eaten for two or three days, and it's okay to have an hour or two late."
"Oh, if it weren't for Leshande Marcus and others, I would have had more things."
After picking up the things and eating a few bites, Soshiyang complained rarely in front of his lover.
"These theater commanders are the same. Less than a month after the war started, they just reached out to me to ask for people, equipment and supplies. I know that the troops given to them are very tight, but they will not be squandered so quickly. If this continues, the number of soldiers recruited in the plan is far from enough. After all, how useful can those new recruits who have only been trained for three months be? Terra now doesn't give any support. With the Big Vortex alone, we don't spend so much manpower and resources. Why don't we understand this?"
