Everyone responded, and Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Okay, everyone go and get busy. Remember, we have to keep a low profile in the future. Go." Everyone responded, and then turned and left. Zhao Hai waited until everyone left, then he took out his computer and called Li Daji directly. Li Daji answered the call immediately.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhao Hai said to Li Daji: "General Li, the matter here on Zhan Yuanxing has been negotiated. Joining the Empire, self-government, 500 tons of medicinal materials per year, plus 30 kilograms of Yuanjing. If the Empire can agree to these, then there will be no problem. We can tell the Empire at any time that we have completed the negotiations."

When Li Daji heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help but feel relieved. At the same time, he was also very happy, because his appointment had not been officially announced yet. Before his appointment was officially announced, he had actually completed the negotiations with Zhan Yuanxing, and the conditions proposed by Zhan Yuanxing were all acceptable to the empire. After all, Zuo Qiuwen had said before that if Zhan Yuanxing could kill some people from other families, the empire would give them some benefits, and paying less supplies would be a benefit.

Li Daji immediately said, "Okay, I know about it. Now my appointment has not come down. When my appointment comes down, we can announce the start of negotiations with the people from Zhan Yuanxing." Zhao Hai responded, and the two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone. As soon as Zhao Hai hung up the phone, Li Daji immediately called Zuo Qiuzheng and reported the matter to him. Zuo Qiuzheng was very happy after hearing the news. The matter on Zhan Yuanxing was equivalent to being over, which was smoother than he expected. He was really worried that the people from Zhan Yuanxing would put forward some excessive conditions after their victory. He didn't expect that they just reduced some of the things they handed over, which was already very good.

Not long after Zuoqiu Zheng finished his call with Li Daji, someone came to deliver a letter to Li Daji, asking him to receive an imperial edict. Li Daji went directly to the Space Fortress to receive the imperial edict. When he arrived at the Space Fortress, Kuang Yufei was already waiting for him. The two of them came together to receive the imperial edict. Kuang Yufei was dismissed and Li Daji took over the position of front-line commander. After receiving the imperial edict, the two of them handed over their work. Just as Li Daji thought, the number of troops directly commanded by Kuang Yufei was not large, and the other troops could be said to be all private armies of the major families. While Li Daji was still worried about the private armies of the major families, those people had already begun to retreat.

As soon as he saw them retreat, Li Daji felt relieved. After he took over the affairs of the space fortress, he had been watching the armies of those families. In the end, the armies of those families all retreated. After they retreated, Li Daji breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were fewer troops here now, they all obeyed his orders, which was a good thing.

Kuang Yufei, Gu Cheng and the others also left, and Li Daji did not make things difficult for them. Now was not the time for them to completely fall out. By the time the Space Fortress was completely quiet, ten days had passed. Now it was very clear in the Space Fortress. Except for a part of the Prince's Sixth Army commanded by Li Daji, the others were the troops from the original front line. However, there were not many masters in their two armies, and Li Daji did not need any masters. Then he directly announced that they would start contacting the people from Zhan Yuanxing and prepare for negotiations. Of course, they only said that they were in contact with the people from Zhan Yuanxing, and did not say that the talks had been concluded. Of course, he could not say now that he had already negotiated with Zhan Yuanxing, as that would be too conspicuous.

A few days later, Li Daji announced that the people of Zhan Yuanxing had agreed to negotiate with them, and the two sides had already started negotiations on Zhan Yuanxing joining the Star Empire. In fact, a large part of this was done for ordinary people in the Star Empire to see. People from those big families knew that the people of Zhan Yuanxing had actually wanted to negotiate with them for a long time, but they just didn't agree.

A few days later, Li Daji announced that the negotiations had made substantial progress, but he did not say to what extent. Just one month after the ceasefire between the two sides, Li Daji reported that the negotiations with Zhan Yuanxing had yielded results. Zhan Yuanxing joined the Star Empire, but would have a high degree of autonomy. The leader of Zhan Yuanxing would be appointed by Zhan Yuanxing itself, and Zhan Yuanxing would be under the command of the Star Empire. In wartime, they could provide the Star Empire with supplies, and in peacetime, they would provide the Star Empire with 500 tons of medicinal materials and 30 kilograms of Yuan crystals every year. Apart from that, there were no other requirements. After research, the Star Empire directly agreed to the conditions of the Star Empire. Of course, the big families would not object. This was what they had promised Zuo Qiuwen at the beginning, because Zuo Qiuwen wanted to talk, but they did not let him. Now that they have started talking, of course, it will all be left to Zuo Qiuwen to decide. If Zuo Qiuwen agrees, they will not object. Although this made the people from the big families very uncomfortable, they had no choice.

However, the people of Zhan Yuan Star also put forward a condition, that is, the people of the Star Empire on Zhan Yuan Star must be evacuated as soon as possible, and in the future, the people of the Star Empire cannot enter Zhan Yuan Star at will without the permission of Zhan Yuan Star. Zuo Qiuwen thought about it and agreed to this point. Anyway, Zhan Yuan Star has been allowed to be autonomous, so there is no need to make too many demands. Besides, the people of Zhan Yuan Star have no way to come out of their planet, so let them be the kings of that planet.

After the Star Empire agreed to the conditions of Zhan Yuan Star, Zhao Hai left Zhan Yuan Star directly. He handed the matters here to Lu Bushian. Lu Bushian was still capable, and he could contact Zhao Hai at any time, so Zhao Hai was still very confident in him. Zhao Hai led his people back to the space fortress, and then he received an order and was transferred back to the capital star. Li Daji and the others still had some things to do, so they had to drive this space fortress back to the capital star. This space fortress was originally stationed outside the capital star, so now the space fortress would be sent to the capital star.

However, the speed of the space fortress was a bit slow, and Zuoqiu Zheng wanted to see Zhao Hai a little faster, so Zhao Hai was sent back to the capital star by the spaceship. Once he returned to the capital star, Zhao Hai first went to the Ministry of War to dismiss his position. People like him also had positions in the Ministry of War, but this position was temporary. When the battle was over, this position was also dismissed. Zhao Hai certainly didn't need to see Zuoqiu Wen. Although he was a royal worshiper, his official position was too small, so Zhao Hai didn't go to see Zuoqiu Wen, but went directly to the East Palace. Although they fought lively in Zhanyuan Star, such a battle was just a small conflict in the Star Empire. It was really nothing, so of course no one would greet Zhao Hai. However, when Zhao Hai came out of the Ministry of War, there were already people from the East Palace waiting for him. Fu Sheng even came to greet him personally and took him directly to the East Palace. Once he arrived at the East Palace, Fu Sheng led Zhao Hai to Zuoqiu Zheng's study, and Zuoqiu Zheng was waiting for him in front of the study.

As soon as Zhao Hai saw Zuo Qiuzheng, he immediately bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Zuo Qiuzheng laughed loudly, walked down the steps, stretched out his hand to help Zhao Hai up and said: "Sir, you have worked hard. No need to be polite. Just follow me in." After that, he took Zhao Hai's arm and went into the study. In the study, besides the two of them, there was only Fu Sheng. This surprised Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai thought that Zuo Qiuzheng would bring Jia Yu and the others to wait for him in the study, but he didn't expect that. Zhao Hai was a little surprised, but he didn't say it. Instead, he went to the study and sat opposite Zuo Qiuzheng.

Zuo Qiuzheng looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sir, you have worked hard this time. I originally wanted to let you have a good rest for two days, and then we can talk in detail, but I really can't wait any longer, so I want to have a good chat with you."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Your Highness is too polite. I have been resting on the spaceship for a few days and have rested well. What do you want to ask?"

Zuo Qiuzheng said in a deep voice: "I will not ask more about your affairs with Zhan Yuanxing. You did a great job this time, and I am very happy. Now I have two questions to ask you. First, Zhan Yuanxing has now joined the empire, but it seems that apart from letting me establish my authority in front of the ministers, there is no benefit. Sir, what do you think, how should we treat Zhan Yuanxing in the future?"

Zhao Hai was stunned. Zuo Qiuzheng's question was not treating him as an ordinary subordinate. He was asking for advice. He didn't understand what Zuo Qiuzheng meant. Was he going to use him? Was it a test? When Zhao Hai thought of this, his heart was moved. Then he said, "Your Highness, in my opinion, this Zhan Yuan Star is still very important to us, and its benefits are definitely not just to let Your Highness establish your authority in front of the ministers. There are practical benefits."

Zuo Qiuzheng was stunned. This was something no one had ever told him. He immediately asked, "What are the benefits?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Your Highness, Zhan Yuanxing is actually willing to contact us. If we sell the materials produced by Zhan Yuanxing in the empire, how much profit will it bring? The medicinal materials and Yuanjing there are all good things. We sell some materials from the empire to them. Even if our price is very fair, monopolizing the material trade of a planet is definitely a huge income. Your Highness, even if you have other creatures that can bring you income, can it increase the income of a planet? , will there be any harm? So how can Your Highness say that Zhan Yuan Star, apart from reputation, can't bring you any other benefits? The benefits are right in front of us. As long as we can keep such transactions with the people of Zhan Yuan Star, our income will definitely be considerable. Your Highness must pay attention to this. " Zhao Hai looked at Zuo Qiuzheng after he finished speaking, and Zuo Qiuzheng's eyes lit up when he heard what Zhao Hai said. He really didn't think about it before, but now when he heard what Zhao Hai said, he suddenly realized that Zhan Yuan Star was indeed like a gold mine, waiting for him to dig. (End of this chapter)
