Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1301 Untitled
Yang Bo, on the other hand, wanted to use the name of diligence and thrift!
But this wouldn't work in the Second World, because nobles valued face.

"Thank you, Father!"

"This prince will certainly prepare well!"

"Then I'll trouble the special envoy to go back and report to my father!" Yang Bo quickly came up with a solution, so he respectfully saw the envoy off.

"Guards, escort the envoy onto the ship!" Yang Bo gave the envoy no chance at all and ordered him to be sent onto the ship directly.

The messenger dared not resist, but in his heart he cursed Prince Holden to the bone and decided that he would tell all the bad things about Prince Holden when he returned.

In fact, Prince Holden's reputation in the kingdom has been ruined by these people.

Because Prince Holden wasn't even in the kingdom, but in this remote territory.

In addition, he offended many nobles, so these nobles spread rumors.

Therefore, Prince Holden's reputation is now extremely bad throughout the kingdom.

After driving the messenger away, Yang Bo summoned the town mayor, deputy mayor, sheriff, and the heads of the farms, ranches, quarries, and fisheries.

Prince Holden's estate was named Seaside Town.

The mayor, deputy mayor, sheriff, and heads of farms and ranches are all selected from the players.

Moreover, appointments are made every quarter.

In other words, if you don't perform well this quarter, you won't be allowed to work next quarter!

This approach wouldn't work for Second World natives, because natives need a stable regime.

But for gamers within the territory, this is perfectly normal, just like a CEO.

Managing a company depends on performance. If the performance is good, the CEO will continue to serve; if the performance is bad, the CEO will definitely be fired.

Mayor Harden, Deputy Mayor Wood, just one name, Sheriff with a glass of green wine, these people are looking at Prince Holden.

These people were talking amongst themselves, wondering what Prince Holden was calling a meeting for.

"You can freely allocate the three hundred craftsmen to your respective departments."

"These five hundred slaves are a gift from this prince to you, selected in order of their contribution to the territory." Yang Bo's solution was simple!
The kingdom wants to use slaves and artisans to bankrupt itself.

He then directly assigned these craftsmen to various departments.

Then the slaves were given to these players!
This way you can transfer your financial burden!
Yang Bo could produce a lot of gold coins, but that would cause inflation throughout the entire territory!

Moreover, unusual financial activity is likely to attract the attention of Second World administrators.

These gamers were absolutely thrilled after hearing what Prince Holden said!
"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your wisdom and might!"

"Long live Your Highness!" The game players were incredibly excited.

Because in the second game world, it's simply impossible for a commoner to own a slave!
Commoners had absolutely no right to buy slaves!
Not to mention that these gamers are outsiders.

Outsiders could only buy slaves after obtaining a noble title.

"Silence!" Yang Bo knew this, of course.

This action will make these gamers feel very proud in real life, and it will also give them a great sense of accomplishment!

Of course, the stronger their sense of accomplishment now, the angrier they will be if the Second World game's official team were to ruin it later.

"Here's my command: This prince will allocate fifty gold coins to develop long-range weapons!"

"Allocate fifty gold coins to develop a water-powered forging system!"

"Allocate fifty gold coins to develop a new sailboat system," Yang Bo issued a series of orders.

These were all things that players in the former territory had reported to request for research.

However, Yang Bo rejected the idea, and the reason he agreed now is mainly because the Kingdom might be at a disadvantage for him.

Of course, fifty gold coins are simply not enough for these research projects.

But what can you do when these guys are gamers?

The price of game coins has now reached an incredibly high level.

The price of game coins has skyrocketed, mainly because of large-scale buying.

That is, the knight territory that was separated from the territory of the game character Yang Bo played.

Players of the Knights' Territory only realize how much it costs when they actually try to rule a village!
Everything costs money!

Moreover, resources in the second game world were already scarce and were controlled by nobles.

In these games, players need to buy resources to build their own villages, and then the prices of those resources keep rising.

In a backward world like the Second World, it is very difficult to replenish supplies when they are consumed in a region, because transportation costs are a major problem.

This is why in ancient times, disaster relief was very difficult to provide when a place suffered a disaster!
It's because of the transportation capacity issue!
"Yes, Your Highness!" The game players were overjoyed to hear that they would be getting money again.

These gamers discovered that Prince Holden had gone off to study his mysticism again.

These gamers are not surprised at all, because this is the world of gamers, and people in ancient times also liked to study these things.

Yang Bo could only handle matters within Prince Holden's territory.

As for what to do next, he had no intention of returning to the kingdom, unless the kingdom sent troops to attack him.

Yang Bo's current concern is what diseases might emerge in Prince Holden's territory!
In a civilization like the Second World, if a malignant infectious disease breaks out, the entire territory is doomed.

Yang Bo came from Prince Holden Castle to Lee John's warship.

John Lee's fleet returned to Karaya.

Two hundred engineers from the Empire are preparing for the construction of the shipyard.

The design of the shipyard was proposed by Yang Bo!

The task of these two hundred engineers is to carry out the construction according to the design drawings.

Because all the dock's components, especially the basic mechanical parts, were ordered from other mining companies.

These components need to be inspected by a specialist, and then the data should be properly recorded.

In addition, an intelligent construction platform needs to be built.

Import the blueprints, construction techniques, and other information into the intelligent construction platform.

Another aspect is the software control of various construction robots used in the intelligent construction platform.

In the interstellar age, the more advanced something is, the more inseparable it is from humans.

Because the more advanced something is, the more human assistance it needs.

The losses caused by problems with high-end manufactured goods are too great.

Even if low-end manufactured goods have problems, the losses are not too great.

Therefore, all these high-end manufacturing processes require human assistance, which only increases labor costs. Another point is that the robot programs used in high-end manufacturing are not the most intelligent.
Because nobody knows if these robot programs have any vulnerabilities.

Most high-end manufacturing robots use local area network control, with human assistance for confirmation. In other words, each command requires human confirmation.

If a fully intelligent system is used, then once it is hacked, everything will be visible to the hacker.

Human verification, on the other hand, requires authentication using a person's identity each time.

The two hundred engineers were also quite surprised that John Lee could produce such a dock.

However, these people were used to following orders in the Empire, so no one questioned the blueprints that John Lee produced.

Moreover, in the eyes of the Imperials, these warlords of the Federation were extremely brutal.

Another crucial point is that the Empire's engineers have some very bold speculations about the dock design that Yang Bo presented.

It is speculated that John Lee is a spokesperson supported by the empire.

The main issue is that the series of experiences these engineers have encountered can only be described as magical.

Two Class B warships that the Empire was testing were secretly sold by a prince!

And they even sold the engineers on the test warship!
Then John Lee had all the blueprints for the warship dock!
The design of shipyards in the three countries involves the collaboration of many companies, with more than sixty companies participating in the design and manufacture of the Empire's warships.

On the one hand, the technical requirements for warship docks are very high, and no single company can do everything that is required for a warship dock.

The entire warship dock is not only a huge intelligent manufacturing plant, but also a war fortress.

Of course, at a deeper level, the number of warships that can be manufactured is limited.

If there are companies that specialize in designing and manufacturing this thing, then they're just waiting to go bankrupt.

Moreover, warship docks have an extremely long service life, and in the absence of war, they are very likely to be used for system upgrades and updates.

Therefore, it requires the collaboration of dozens of companies.

On the other hand, dividing the work into dozens of companies can prevent leaks, because spies can only steal the technology of one or a few companies at most, and it is impossible for them to steal all the technology.

And of course, the most important point is funding!

The amount of funding involved in warship shipyard construction is so vast that it's impossible for any one company to make a profit!
Moreover, these companies also witnessed Lee John snatching the Empire's export warships from the pirates!
There are many problems here. On the surface, the authority over the foreign trade warships is not in the hands of the Empire, but in the hands of the pirates. However, no one understands better than these engineers how difficult it is to crack this authority.

What convinced these engineers even more was that their family members had been sent to the federal government with such ease!
Moreover, these engineers never expected that John Lee would be able to destroy the biochip in their brains.

Although these engineers heard Li John's explanation, they all believed that the Empire had given Li John the authority over the biochip, which was why he was able to perform such an operation!
If biochips could be destroyed so easily, they wouldn't be biochips.

So many things, even just one thing, cannot be called a coincidence!
What's more, so many things happening all at once!
Therefore, these engineers work diligently!
Moreover, these engineers discovered that the design of this dock was similar to some of the dock designs from the Empire's previous docks!

Yang Bo knew what these people were thinking by the spiritual seeds they released.

However, Yang Bo did not object; sometimes misunderstandings are a good thing.

When Yangbo returned to Karaya, no one knew of Lee John's whereabouts.

Because they didn't know which warship John Lee was on.

"General!"

"General!" Lisa and Vivian looked at John Lee as he appeared, but neither of them asked where he had been lately.

On the one hand, both of them were very busy. As the vice-captain of a B-class warship, Lisa's first task was to recruit enough soldiers and officers for the warship.

As John Lee's secretary, Vivian had to manage relationships with various parties, primarily by accepting bribes and benefits.

Both of them were very satisfied with their current lives, so when they saw John Lee, they admired him from the bottom of their hearts.

Vivian used to be a singer and was very popular.

But their social status remains the same.

And now those congressmen, senators, and company directors, shareholders, and CEOs.

Moreover, they are directors and shareholders of large international companies, and they do everything they can to please me!
This kind of social status is something that singers don't have!

Vivian had so many luxury items that they could store several rooms.

These were all gifts from others!

"How's work lately?" Yang Bo knew exactly what the two of them had been doing, but he still had to ask.

"General!"

"Madhyama State has imposed sanctions on us, prohibiting their technicians from coming to our state."

“I’ve recruited many alumni, but none of them have been able to come here.”

"The manpower shortage on the warship is too great!" Lisa complained softly, clinging tightly to John Lee's arm.

"There's nothing I can do about it."

“Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll give you a special fund. I don’t believe those corrupt officials in Madhya Pradesh won’t embezzle it,” Yang Bo said.

Yang Bo really enjoyed Lisa's coquettish manner.

"Thank you, General!" Lisa was secretly delighted. If she hadn't met John Lee, she would never have become a captain in her entire life.

Lisa also knew that if she wasn't recruited by the intelligence department, the most she could do would be an assistant to an officer on some warship.

And it's highly likely that he wasn't an officer.

It's really just for the officers on the warship to have some entertainment. After all, a warship goes on patrol for at least ten days to half a month at a time, so what's wrong with officers having some fun?

Because in the federal government, background matters.

No matter how talented you are, you can't compete with the descendants of those scholar-officials.

These families were true scholar-officials, integrating politics, business, and the military.

They could be said to be even more powerful than the imperial nobles. At least on the surface, the imperial nobles were very gentlemanly, and they treated the people in their territories very well.

Serving as a slave to a nobleman guarantees a lifetime of food and drink, and you won't have to worry about anything. It all boils down to two words: obedience.

In these federal cities, ordinary people are the ones who are exploited, and the exploitation is the only concern; no welfare benefits are given to them.

Therefore, even if Lisa is a genius, she cannot be a captain. Moreover, the Federation's financial groups and families have even stronger control over these geniuses and will not allow them to escape their control. Once they discover that these geniuses have other ideas, they will be killed on the spot!
"General, these are gifts from some companies recently." Vivian also took out her recent haul.

"very good!"

"You guys divide the stuff, and keep the money in the bank for now!" Yang Bo said after glancing at it.

"Thank you, General!" the two quickly said.

"Vivian, please inform all the ministers that there will be a meeting tomorrow, and the Senate will also be holding a meeting tomorrow!" Yang Bo's main purpose for this meeting is to obtain the authorization to export warships. As the governor of Calaya State, John Lee must abide by the law.

Although the warships haven't been built yet, we've already gone through the necessary procedures.

Another issue is the fleet personnel; we'll hold another meeting then.
