Chapter 538 Robber Attack

Jiyu, the housekeeper, pointed to various income and expenditure items and said, "Your Excellency, these are the expenses of the Marquis's mansion in the past ten years, including the maintenance of all kinds of buildings in the Marquis' mansion, the salaries of the guards and waiters, the distribution of clothing and the replacement of the guard equipment, as well as their daily living expenses. Some time ago, I went to your home. There is no other expenditure other than the cost of the goods sent by the township. Since you have no other income other than taxes, now you still have 43,9,ba,ba,7274,000 iron and blood coins left!"

Zhao Yue frowned when he saw this number and asked doubtfully, "Why is it like this? At least Sarah Star is also the first-class economically developed planet of the Iron-blooded Empire. How can I only have such a little money except for my ten-year tax expenses except for the meager Marquis's mansion?

"Uh!" The housekeeper Jiyu was stunned and reacted and quickly said, "Your Excellency, this is already a lot. In addition to the amount of taxes handed over to the imperial court, so many of them are already at the forefront of the taxes on all planets of the Iron-blooded Empire. You should know that the purchasing power of iron-blooded coins is quite strong, and the currencies of other interstellar countries have been depreciating. , but Iron Blood Coin has always maintained its strong purchasing power. Today, its exchange rate with Star Alliance Coin is one to 28. . seven!"

Zhao Yue was stunned and asked, "Really? That is to say, iron and blood coins are more valuable than international currencies? No wonder he would suspect that when he borrowed money from the emperor before, the emperor lent him 10 million iron-blood coins. He thought that the emperor was too stingy, which was the reason.

Ji Yu, the housekeeper, nodded and said, "Of course, my lord! Our iron-blooded empire is an old constitutional monarchy. Although there has been civil strife since the establishment of the country in the ignorant era, it has never changed its dynasty. Therefore, the accumulated technology and wealth are not comparable to other interstellar countries!"

No wonder! The Iron-blooded Empire has been established for more than 100,000 years. In these more than 100,000 years, it has not been destroyed by war. All its technologies are very complete, and its industrial production capacity is beyond the reach of other interstellar countries. Because there has been no dynasty change, the Iron-blooded Empire still maintains many primitive customs to this day, such as hunting. After success, the blood of the prey is smeared on the forehead to stimulate its blood and pride!

Zhao Yue nodded and said, "Go and talk to those ship manufacturers. Anyway, you have to buy the best transport ship at the cheapest price. The size of the transport fleet should be large enough, and you have to buy some escort ships, otherwise you won't make much money! In addition, after this matter is completed, you will immediately start to recruit captains, first mates, crew and others. I need my fleet to be established as soon as possible! Upgrade my Nebula captured from others, all equipped with the latest weapons and protection, and power systems as the flagship of the escort fleet. In this business, you recruit a capable person to take charge of me.

The housekeeper bent down and said, "Yes, my lord!"

The next day, the Marquis's House sent a message, recruiting a large number of crew members, first mates, second mates, captains, captains of the transport fleets, as well as soldiers, officers, captains, fleet commanders of the convoy fleet, etc.

As soon as the people on Sara's Star heard the news, they exploded. Candidates flocked in, and even people from many other planets came to apply. Not only that, many retired soldiers and officers came to apply for the position of escort fleet.

Two days later, the housekeeper brought a person and introduced to Zhao Yue: "Your Excellency, this is Mr. Hede, who is in charge of the business of the transportation fleet. He has been the president of several shipping companies. He has rich experience and extensive connections, just because he offended a Noble, so the bosses of the shipping business don't dare to use him!"

"Hello, my lord, my name is Hede!" The iron-blooded people introduced themselves.

Zhao Yue gave him a lot and asked, "Can you tell me why you offended the nobleman?"

"Your Excellency, the nobles bullied men and women. He fell in favor of my wife and wanted to force me. Of course, I would not compromise!" Hede said flatly.

Zhao Yue nodded and said, "Well, this is understandable! You can rest assured that you can only help me with my business. When you need me to come forward, I will naturally help you deal with the trouble. Moreover, what we do is international shipping. I will open up the relationship between the court, the customs and the military for you, and you need to solve the rest by yourself."

Zhao Yue has the confidence to say this. The military respects the warriors the most. Therefore, if Zhao Yue comes forward, the military will definitely sell this face. As for the rest, he is going to go to the emperor's internal minister to dredge the relationship. This guy is good-sighted. Who in the court dares not to buy it?

In addition, he is going to collect all the pirates in the four countries. He is stuck in the throat of the traffic of the four countries and sits to collect money. He doesn't like the implementation of the three-light policy, and his fleet is unimpededed, and the business can't be unhended!

Hede bent down and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry, as long as the court doesn't make trouble, I will definitely let you count the money until your hand cramps!"

Zhao Yue smiled and said, "Then I'll wait and see!"

When people are the happiest and most happy, they often feel that time passes quickly. Zhao Yue took Annie and Desla to play in the mountains and rivers and forgot the time. In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed. Just as they were about to go to the next destination, the captain of the Marquis's guard, Ke Shanfeng came in a four-amphibious chariot.

The so-called amphibious chariot is a chariot that can fly in the air, land, sail on the water, and dive underwater. The Marquis's Guard is equipped with 20 amphibious chariots, ten space fighters, two military supply transport ships, all kinds of individual combat weapons, and 20 energy guns of various calibers to defend the Marquis. Safe, if you have money, you can also buy ships to form a small fleet to defend the territory. These equipment can be equipped according to the regulations of the Iron and Blood Empire, but they can only be purchased from the military. If there is any loss, you can report to the noble management committee for repurchase. The damaged equipment must be handed over to the military and must not be sold to others or other countries.

"Your Excellency, your excellency, something big has happened!" After the Keshan wind came down from the four-amphibious chariot, he ran over in a panic and shouted.

Zhao Yue frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Did the sky tower collapse?

Ke Shanfeng gasped and said, "Your Excellency, the sky has not collapsed, but it's almost done!" There is a large fleet attacking the military base of the space station. According to the feedback from the military base, the other side has more than 1,000 large and small warships, including 30 top space warships. According to their firepower, the military base will not last long! If they break through the military base, Sarah will not be spared! Before the war, they carried out signal interference, and all our contact with the court and the outside world were cut off. If there were no reinforcements, we could not resist it in any case. Now the whole Sara star is in chaos.

After listening to Ke Shanfeng's words, Zhao Yue's face became gloomy and he scolded secretly, "Damn, do you really think I'm a piece of fat here? Take a bite whenever you want to eat it?

He asked, "Do you know the identity of the other party?"

Ke Shanfeng said: "In the first few years, there was a particularly powerful bandit plundering on the borders of various countries. They robbed and ran away, and their whereabouts were erratic. Therefore, there was no way for all countries to eliminate them. This matter has been known to the whole Star Alliance countries! Presumably this large fleet should be them."

Zhao Yue turned his head and said to Dela, "Lao De, I'm sorry, it seems that we can't play!"

Desla shook her head and said, "You can play whenever you want. Let's get down to business first!"

Zhao Yue said to Annie again, "Baby, can I play with you when I beat these robbers?"

Annie said, "I know what you mean. I'm not an unreasonable person. Let's go back!"

Seeing that his wife and friends didn't mind, Zhao Yue waved his hand to Ke Shanfeng and said, "Go back!"

The four of them got on the chariot and rushed back to the capital at the fastest speed. After arriving at the capital, Zhao Yue said, "You don't need to go back to the Marquis's mansion, just go directly to the governor's office!"

The chariot drove directly to the governor's office. The guard at the door saw that it was the chariot of the Marquis's mansion and hurriedly contacted the governor's secretary. Zhao Yue and others shouted after getting out of the car, "Don't report it. I'll go straight to find the governor!"

After entering the governor's mansion, he saw the governor coming to greet him with a large and small officials. Before the governor could speak, Zhao Yue asked, "Governor, how is the situation?"

After a salute, the governor said, "Your Excellency, the situation is not optimistic! Let's go to the combat conference room to see the latest situation!"

Zhao Yue nodded. When the group arrived at the battle conference room, a huge multi-dimensional image appeared in front of everyone. The dense enemy warships on the image were opening fire on the military base. More than half of the warships outside the port of the military base had been destroyed, and even several outer military fortresses had been destroyed, and His Star River is now moored in the dock, because he did not fire at the enemy without his order.

"Contact General Lehe immediately. I want to talk to him directly!" Zhao Yue ordered that he was the lord of Sara Star and had the right to take over the highest military command in the event of war, unless the court sent senior generals to replace him, so the officials present did not make a fuss about his orders.

The staff of the governor's office immediately connected the communication. Now they just can't contact the outside world and the court, but the internal contact is undisturbed.

"Marquis, the military base is already in danger. If there are no reinforcements, we won't last long! However, you can rest assured that we will vow to coexist with the base." As soon as the communication was connected, General Lehe appeared on the three-dimensional image and said anxiously.

Zhao Yue asked, "How long do you think the base will last?"

Le He said, "Your excellency, in less than two hours, the shield of the base will be broken!"
