Star Sea Lord

() Although Xiao Junling did not fully agree with the remarks of this seemingly neurotic teacher, he thought in his heart that his views were indeed very convincing.

The so-called lordship system is an important system introduced by the empire after many arguments based on the interstellar situation at that time and the actual situation in the country shortly after human civilization occupied the third cantilever of the galaxy.

Although the human civilization at that time was already considered powerful among the various races in the Star Sea, it was far from a place where one could sit back and relax.Just within the Milky Way, there are many alien empires that are stronger than human civilization.And each other belongs to the kind of bitter, bitter, and endless hostile relationship!

In the face of the real threat of genocide, a difficult problem is posed in front of the top leaders of human nations: how to strengthen their own strength faster, so as to ensure that human civilization can be safe and sound under the covetousness of many alien races. Survive and reproduce!

The top leaders of various countries have taken many measures to this end, such as investing a large amount of national resources in the fields of national defense and military technology, and giving priority to the needs of the military in any economic strategic planning policy of the country, etc.Just like the Cold War period in the old earth era, the country's strategic focus is basically on the military.

In peacetime, such an approach is obviously extremely abnormal, and it would be an understatement to call it "militarism"!However, in the Star Sea Warring States era, facing many powerful alien civilizations chasing and intercepting, this approach is an inevitable choice to ensure survival and inherit the fire of civilization!

But these are not enough. After all, human civilization is just a novice in the Xinghai hunting ground. If they want to survive in this extremely dangerous environment, they must use all available resources to increase their strength as much as possible!

The lordship system is a major decision made by the upper echelon of the Chinese Empire in order to maximize the use of private funds and power to open up foreign starry sky and obtain resources.

As long as they are individuals with the legal citizenship of the empire, after registering with the relevant institutions of the empire, they can raise funds and spaceship equipment by themselves, and go to explore the unknown wild star field, either alone or in a group.

All the gains that citizens or groups discover in the extraterritorial starry sky, including new wormhole coordinates, unknown waterways, unfamiliar resource planets, and even livable ecological planets that can be used for immigration, etc., belong to the discoverer!

On these planets, the constitution of the empire still has unquestionable authority, and the national defense and diplomatic powers belong to the imperial government, but the discoverers can have independent administrative and financial powers, as well as local legislative powers.Its political status is similar to several special administrative regions of China in the Earth Age.

The planetary territories that these discoverers have their own management authority are collectively called the empire's overseas self-government, and the owner of the self-government is called the lord.

The dominions are all star domains developed by the power of the people, not the imperial army. After all, if China wants to expand, it must make the most of the power of the people, and the places opened up by the power of the people are of course Strictly speaking, these places also apply to the property law that "private property is sacred and inviolable".

Of course, as these lords, they must also abide by the legal provisions of the empire. For example, what they do on their own territory must not harm the national interests of the empire, and all kinds of rare strategic resources produced must be sold to the imperial government first, without the permission of the empire. , Do not privately trade large quantities of rare resources with foreign civilizations, etc.

When necessary, imperial officials can expropriate the lord's private property, but they must negotiate with the lord in advance and provide compensation in line with market conditions.

As soon as this bill was promulgated, it aroused huge repercussions among the people. Many powerful private consortiums and wealthy citizens began to prepare and embarked on the journey of exploring the wild star field one after another.

As a result, just like the age of great exploration on Earth, countless non-governmental organizations and individuals flocked to the outer starry sky like a flood, and some people did reap a lot, and a very few lucky ones even entered the ranks of the top richest people in the empire!But more people suffered heavy losses and lost everything.There are many people who are permanently buried in foreign lands and have no bones left!

The starry sky in a foreign land has never been a happy and healthy paradise on earth, but a wild and desolate land full of danger and murder!

But the opportunities and wealth hidden in the wild star field are also extremely amazing. As long as one percent or even one thousandth of the people succeed, it will be enough to stimulate the rest of the people to devote all their wealth to embark on this road!

For thousands of years, there have been many individuals or groups who have gotten rich overnight in this way. Those who are good at management will use this as a basis to truly enter the upper class and even develop into a big family with deep roots. Such an example Not a few!

Therefore, those consortiums and adventure groups will use such advertisements when recruiting personnel:

"Do you want to get rich overnight? Do you want to build your own family? Do you want to own your own country? Come! Come and join our team! Go to the distant alien galaxy to find attractive treasures! Success is no longer a dream ! Guangzong Yaozu is no longer a luxury..."

In this way, countless unemployed, hooligans, hooligans, drug addicts, and even some vicious gangsters who have been dazzled by fame and wealth, joined in the wave of exploring the wild star field!

But the danger of the wild galaxy is beyond the imagination of this group of guys who only think about money and women?How many humans die in the wild star field every year?This is a question that even the most wise men of the empire cannot count and cannot answer!

So, this is an absolutely high-risk, high-yield activity!

But for the whole country, the benefits of the lordship system are obvious.Thanks to the huge population base of the Chinese Empire, the absolute value of the people or groups returning from the wild star field every year is still quite a lot. Most of their gains are integrated into the country's economic and financial circulation system through various methods , greatly enhanced the country's economic and military power!As a result, the national fortune of the Huaxia Empire has been booming all the way, gradually leading other human nations.

With the passage of time, the lord system has been gradually improved, and an unprecedentedly large industrial system has been formed accordingly, which has led to an unprecedented take-off of the Chinese Empire's economy!

The technology and equipment for exploring and opening up the wild star field are basically in the hands of the empire. If the lords want to get it, they must spend money to buy it from the empire.After harvesting in the wild star field, they will sell the various valuable mineral resources mined to the empire in exchange for more advanced technology and equipment to further expand their territory.

After the empire obtains a large amount of resources, it can increase investment in the military field, especially to develop more advanced military technology, and promote some technologies to the people to promote economic development and comprehensively enhance the overall national strength of the empire!

As long as the empire always maintains a leading position in military and technology, there is no need to worry about the possible negative effects of the lordship system.

One step ahead, one step ahead!The territory of the Chinese Empire is expanding rapidly. With the increase in the number of livable ecological planets, coupled with the government's consistent policy of encouraging births, the population of the empire is also increasing!

Thousands of years later, three-quarters of the Milky Way in Nuoda has been included in the territory of the empire, and the remaining human countries and some alien civilizations occupy the remaining quarter.

In the thousands of star fields directly under the empire, there are more than 15 livable ecological planets, with a total population of more than [-] trillion, and this does not include the population of those overseas territories.There are tens of millions of resource planets of various levels, and most of them are in a sealed state and exist as the country's strategic reserves.Because the resources transported back to the empire from the vast overseas territories every year are enough to meet the needs!

And the total area of ​​the empire's overseas territories is no less than six or seven galaxies. They are distributed in dozens of galaxies, large and small, and belong to tens of thousands of lords!The smallest lord may only have one barren resource planet, while the most powerful lord may have hundreds of rich star fields.

Of course, no matter how powerful the private chaebol is, it is impossible to compare with the country. Nearly [-]% of these overseas territories are actually earned by the empire's official development fleet. incorporated into the empire.

Therefore, for the Huaxia Empire to have such a large territory, the biggest contribution is of course the imperial army, which plundered its territory by destroying foreign civilizations; secondly, the overseas territories directly under the empire were transformed; thirdly, it was through expropriation and purchase of civilians. The domain of the lords.

As the associate professor Qian Jingrong said, there are many reasons why the Chinese Empire can become as powerful as it is today.However, this lord system, which has been promulgated and implemented for thousands of years and has been written into the imperial constitution, is definitely one of the fundamental factors for the Chinese civilization to stand out, overwhelm most foreign civilizations, and stand on the top of the star sea!

After seeing the benefits of the lordship system, other human countries began to follow suit and launched similar systems that adapted to their own national conditions, but they lost their opportunities and could not keep up with the empire's footsteps.

"...To this day, exotic exploration and pioneering wars are still one of the most important economic growth points of the empire, and also one of the most promising and hopeful industries of the empire! Students, you are all elites of the empire. There are quite a few people among them who will inevitably embark on this road full of adventures and challenges. I wish you all the opportunity to become the great lords of Xinghai, with infinite wealth and resources, and bring Chinese civilization to the next level. Spread to every corner of Star Sea World..." Qian Jingrong finally ended his speech with such words.

"Your Excellency Xiao Junling, someone is waiting for you outside!" The waiter's reminder drew his attention to the window.
