Chapter 660 Amazing Trade Income

At the same time, Yu Huaxuan, the second divine envoy of the Song Dynasty, also arrived above the Star Harbor area.

Located in the center of the former Xuanhua and Tiantong counties, Lin Hao selected a piece of flat land here as the future Song Dynasty Star Port.

Although it was late at night, the interior of the star port was still bustling with activity. Yu Huaxuan looked around from a thousand feet in the air and discovered that construction was underway everywhere. Thousands of construction machines were working back and forth like ants under the illumination of lights.

Yu Huaxuan then turned his gaze to an area near the river, looking at the gray-white, box-like houses there, and the lights peeking out from inside the houses.

The brightly lit scene filled with the aura of the devil made Yu Huaxuan feel slightly uncomfortable, and his eyes became dim.

This area of ​​buildings along the river is a factory area established at the request of cabinet councilor Lin Hao.

They imported some processing machinery from the extraterritorial demons to process the various medicinal materials, grains, minerals, etc. from Tianji Star into simple semi-finished products, and then sold them to the extraterritorial demons.

This will not only reduce the size of goods, allowing the extraterritorial demon ships to carry higher-value goods to the demon's homeland, thereby improving trade efficiency and increasing the value of goods, but also create a large number of high-income jobs.

The key is to increase Star Harbor's tax revenue. The Divine Envoy had previously rejected Lin Hao's proposal for universal education, but approved the plan to allow factories to be built in the Star Harbor area, primarily for this reason.

"Feather God Envoy!"

Cui Peipei, the Third Divine Envoy of the Great Wei Nation, also had a gloomy look in his eyes. "I heard that you, the Great Song, haven't even officially started trade yet, but you're already making a fortune. I wonder if Divine Envoy Yu could tell me how much money you've made in this star port?"

Yuhuaxuan glanced at Cui Peipei and the other third envoy of the Dasheng Kingdom, Zong Xiushan, who was standing next to him.

The purpose of his visit to Star Harbor this time was, firstly, to support the opening of Star Harbor and express the court's attention to this place; secondly, to urge Lin Hao to hand over the "license guarantee" and "land transfer fee" in his hands.

The third purpose is to bring these two third gods' messengers to visit.

The two could no longer stay in the Song Dynasty, so they put forward a condition to the Song Dynasty court, allowing them to take an in-depth tour of the star port and understand the details, and then they would set off to return home.

The emperor and the three gods' messengers, including him, were really fed up with the two of them. They were overjoyed after hearing the news. It happened that Yuhuaxuan was going to visit Star Harbor, so he came forward to invite the two of them to Star Harbor.

Yu Huaxuan originally wanted to say, "This is a secret of the Song Dynasty and cannot be disclosed," but he thought that this was the condition they agreed to the two of them.

In exchange for all the secrets of the Star Port, the two countries will reveal the fact that the Abyss Monument was robbed.

Yu Huaxuan pondered for a moment, then waved his folding fan and said, "The Xinggang Division established by Lin Hao is mostly staffed by his trusted followers, and they're very tight-lipped. The Divine Envoy Supervisor can only estimate that the revenue this time is between 30 and 45 million taels of divine gold, or possibly even higher!"

Cui Peipei and Zong Xiushan took a deep breath after hearing this.

Forty-five million taels of divine gold? That's almost equivalent to three-tenths of the land tax of the two countries.

Cui Peipei's face turned pale and changing color.

About ten days ago, when Cui Peipei was urging the Song Dynasty to send manpower to help her find the 'Abyss Divine Monument', she heard with her own ears the uproar coming from the Song Dynasty's Divine Envoy Prison and the cabinet. She also heard with her own ears the cabinet members saying things like 'the income is so high', 'the land of the Star Port is so valuable', 'how can you get so much income before the port is even opened', and 'you are worthy of being the Marquis of Zhenguo'.

Cui Peipei guessed that the income of this star port would be very staggering, but she never expected that the income from just selling land and licenses would be so high!

"How astonishing!" She squinted at Yu Huaxuan and said, "You, the Great Song Divine Envoy Agency, have allowed such a treasury to be controlled by a child?"

Of course Yu Huaxuan was unwilling to do so. Xinggangsi was a hot commodity now, and the emperor and the three divine envoys of the court all wanted to embrace it.

The problem is that the Temple of God does not allow it. The God and the Grand Astrologer of the Temple of God both respect Lin Hao very much and show him great grace.

They were obviously very much looking forward to the Star Port Division. Compared to the emperor and Yuhuaxuan who inspected local warehouses together and were humiliated by local forces but gained little, Lin Hao increased the court's income by 30% of the land tax out of thin air, which naturally earned him more trust and expectations from the gods.

What’s more, there are Taizu and Taizong of the Song Dynasty.

The people of the entire Song Dynasty believed that these two people had been buried in the mausoleum, but in fact they had escaped to the depths of purgatory to hide.

According to the investigation of the "Purgatory Department", the two ancestors of the Song Dynasty may have joined the three gods of Purgatory. Among them, the Song Taizu may even be lurking in the Earth Federation as an alien.

How could the Divine Palace not be on guard against the Emperor? They would definitely rely heavily on the First and Third Divine Envoys.

It's a pity that Yu Huaxuan was eager to dethrone the First Divine Envoy from the throne and cooperated closely with the Emperor, which also made the Divine Palace suspicious of him.

Yu Huaxuan also heard the provocation in Cui Peipei's words and said expressionlessly, "Lin Hao is no child. He has made countless contributions since entering the court. He is already the Marquis of the Song Dynasty and the second-rank red-robed chief priest of the Divine Palace."

You must know that Yu Huaxuan is only a first-rank Shao Sitian in the Divine Palace.

Lin Hao's status has long been on par with that of the candidates for God's Messenger.

"Oh right," Yu Huaxuan remembered something: "Where is your disciple Han Xian'er? Doesn't she have a duel with Lin Hao? When is it going to take place?"

This duel had long been known to the whole city. If Lin Hao lost, he would be Han Xian'er's slave; but if Han Xian'er lost, she would be Lin Hao's slave.

The people of Luojing City have been discussing this matter for several months and are extremely worried about their Crown Prince Yin.

Although His Royal Highness Crown Prince Yin is extremely talented, he is only at the sixth level. If he loses, will their beloved Crown Prince Yin really become a slave and serve Han Xian'er like an ox or a horse?
Yu Huaxuan was looking forward to it. What kind of expressions would Luo Wangshu and his disciple have if Lin Hao lost? Would Lin Hao abide by the bet then?
"Just in these few days."

Cui Peipei put her hands behind her back, a sneer on her lips: "I am ready to leave the Song Dynasty in a few days. So according to the terms of the battle, the matter of the sacred monument should come to an end."

The reason why Han Xian'er didn't come here was that she stayed in the inn to practice an Eighth Realm Super Emperor Secret Sword.

In the past two months, Han Xian'er has been practicing this sword with the help of Cui Peipei, just to win the upcoming battle with one blow.

Cui Peipei believed that no matter how strong Lin Hao's true fighting power was, he could never be a match for Han Xianer.

——Luo Wangshu is too arrogant!

Yu Huaxuan laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Then I'm looking forward to it. By the way, I know there's a perfect opportunity soon. In a few days, our Great Song will be opening its port. During the opening ceremony, your disciple and Lin Hao will have a showdown in public. Isn't that the best way?"

Zong Xiushan, who was standing next to him, seemed to be thinking about this: "This seems to be a good idea."

He also lived in the post station and knew how powerful the Eight Realms Super Emperor Secret Sword that Han Xian'er practiced was.

Cui Peipei knew that these two people were fanning the flames, but she was still moved.

On the surface, she remained calm, snorted, and continued to fly forward. She planned to go in and take a look at the many shops and buildings that the extraterritorial demons had built, and by the way, interact with them a little.

At the Security Bureau headquarters, Xue Lingxue walked towards the dock area with a dizzy head.

She had just replaced General Thunder and presided over a work meeting at the Tianji Star Trade Monitoring Center to discuss strengthening monitoring of major star ports and private dock areas.

Since the monitoring center has just been established, it is seriously understaffed and requires a lot of effort and energy to dispatch manpower and arrange work.

In addition, the newly joined anti-smuggling fleet also needs to be docked and coordinated.

In short, it is to win over as much as possible while adding subtle interference.

It is necessary to transfer out those people in the 201 Rapid Reaction Squadron who are unwilling to live on the ship, and then replace them with people from the Security Bureau system, so as to gradually achieve control of the 201 Rapid Reaction Squadron.

At present, they do not expect this anti-smuggling fleet to be able to truly eliminate smuggling. As long as it can form a certain deterrent, control the area around the twelve satellites, and increase the cost of smugglers, it will be enough.

Next, she had to board her dedicated transport ship and go to the flagship of the anti-smuggling fleet to meet with the fleet commander.

The Prince Yin of the Song Dynasty's attempt to sow discord within the Changsheng Society is taking effect, and the strategy of killing three men with two peaches is already taking effect, causing fierce conflicts and contradictions within the Changsheng Society.

So there are some things that Xue Lingxue needs to explain to this person.

However, just as Xue Lingxue was about to step into the dock area, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

Her boss was very good to her. He replaced her with a complete set of colonization suits 15 days ago, which also gave Xue Lingxue a certain amount of mental redundancy and allowed her to implant an SSS+ level colonization suit 'Heavenly Sense'.

Her powerful sensing ability allowed her to retreat without hesitation. The two J-8SS+ fighter jets that followed Xue Lingxue also reacted at the same time. They not only used their guns to block the front of Xue Lingxue, but also opened two layers of extremely solid force field shields.

However, two balls of red sword light, one large and one small, penetrated from the alloy door. Not only did they split the two extremely powerful force shield fields with unstoppable force, they also launched a series of flowing sword lights, which actually cut through all the bullets of the two Dragon Fighter 8SS+ with incredible sharpness, and at the same time forcibly cut off their wrists.

When the crimson sword light struck in front of Xue Lingxue, her mind went blank.

At this time, her 'Ice Thunder Emperor Shooting Dragon' had just left the sleeping cabin, and it was too late to get close to rescue, so she could only shoot with a sniper cannon at a distance of 160 meters.

The two seventh-level imperial masters following Xue Lingxue had just time to react.

Xue Lingxue thought to herself, am I going to die? In the Security Bureau headquarters, at the hands of an assassin?

At this moment, Xue Lingxue saw a two-meter-tall figure appear in front of her.

——It was the sixth-level guard code-named "No. 1" assigned to her by Lin Rui!

Xue Lingxue actually couldn't understand why Lin Rui did this. This guard was not very strong, only at the sixth level of the emperor rank. Compared with her current strength and status, he could no longer provide her with enough defensive power.

In addition, if the other party did not possess a war dragon, Xue Lingxue would have doubted whether this person was a living person. In short, she did not sense any breath of a living person from this person.

However, although Lin Rui arranged two 7S combat teams for her as security forces, he still insisted on letting No. 1 follow her, and specifically instructed Xue Lingxue to place "No. 1" in the closest position.

Although Xue Lingxue was puzzled, she still obeyed Lin Ruiyan's orders, because for some reason, she always had a familiar and close feeling towards this cold and lifeless No. 1.

No. 1 is not only a loyal guard, but also takes care of various chores for her and takes care of her in every aspect of life. Sometimes, No. 1's actions even remind her of her dead father.

And today it was this 'No. 1' who saved her life.

"Qiang!"

With an extremely crisp sound, the entire upper half of No. 1's head was chopped off.

The sacrifice of No. 1 not only bought the other guards time to react, but also brought about a flash of sword light in the void, as graceful and agile as a startled swan, which cut through the darkness like lightning, splitting the two red sword lights in one stroke, and also splitting the two figures, one big and one small, behind the red sword lights into two halves.

It turned out to be a master of the ninth realm emperor level, and his twenty-eight-meter-tall war dragon, its body was first cut in half, and then continued to split, exploding into a blood mist all over the sky.

Just a moment later, a young soldier wearing a neat four-star marshal's uniform and the badge of an honorary member of Congress on his collar appeared in front of Xue Lingxue. He had a handsome face, a tall and well-proportioned figure, a gentle and fresh temperament, and a casual and unrestrained look.

Xue Lingxue's expression froze, and she immediately saluted: "Marshal Kou!"

The person in front of her was none other than King Kou Xuan, the commander of the garrison at the Earth Federation Government headquarters base!
This man was extremely powerful. He came out of nowhere from the garrison headquarters three thousand kilometers away in space and killed the red-clothed swordsman who had reached the ninth level of cultivation with just one sword strike.

At this moment, Xue Lingxue heard a loud explosion.

She turned her head sharply in the direction of the sound and discovered that it was actually in the direction of General Thunder's office. At the same time, a shrill alarm sounded inside the Security Bureau.

At this time, the 'Thunder' in the office was naturally not Thunder, but just a J-8SSS+-level exoskeleton armor controlled by an intelligent chip. However, Xue Lingxue was still secretly shocked.

"No need to look. That person is also a quasi-parliamentarian. It's a choice. If I help you, I can't help General Thunder. But Li Jianglong told me that I don't need to care about General Thunder. Your safety in the capital area will be the priority."

King Kou Xuan looked at the bloody dust in front of him, as well as the two bloody swords, one large and one small, that had fallen to the ground. He held his chin with his hand, full of confusion. "This person seems to be Wei Tianqu, the Sword of Heaven Piercing. He was a master of the Ninth Realm Emperor rank, a quasi-councillor level. Strange, shouldn't he have died half a year ago? And was he killed by Li Jianglong himself? How can he still be alive?"

King Kou Xuan shook his head in confusion, then turned to look at the severed 'Number 1', raising his eyebrows. "Where did you get this biochemically modified human? You're playing with it quite a bit."

Xue Lingxue was shocked by the changes in Lei Ting's office and sad about the death of No. 1.

Her expression changed slightly after hearing that, and then she looked in the direction of No. 1. Sure enough, she saw that the skeleton of Guard No. 1 was made of metal, and there were a lot of circuits inside.

Xue Lingxue's face began to turn pale and blue, and she wondered what was going on.

Why did she feel at this moment that she had lost something important? Why did tears well up in her eyes?
At this time, far away in the Ninth Base City, at the Ruifang Colonial Biological Research Institute, Lin Rui, who had completed the colonization surgery and replaced himself with a complete set of colonization suits, and implanted two SSS+ colonization suits, further strengthening his Huanglei Holy Body, was looking at a box that was 80 meters long, 30 centimeters high, and centimeters wide.

This was exactly the small database that Lin Rui found under Xue Bogao more than a year ago.

Lin Rui was hesitating whether to call Wang Yinyue over to crack this small database and find the data inside.

At this moment, Lin Rui received a message from the Battle Spirit Ring.
