Star Fleet: Age of Lords
Chapter 297 Crazy Shipbuilding
Feng Mo, who had just returned from the Tianque Star Region, had no time to get close to the three girls of El, so he took Alyssa and went into the underground secret library of the Hurricane Main Star.
This is where all the starship design drawings of the Storm Human Federation are stored, and it is also the headquarters of the Federation Starship Design Department. Feng Mo and Alyssa went into the underground secret library as soon as they arrived.
There are a total of four design drawings that Feng Mo and Alyssa need to study together, and there is also a plan to expand the Storm Fleet. This time, Feng Mo plans to directly expand the Storm Fleet to 500 combat starships, and replace all seven fleets under his command with T6 starships.
This is a huge project that cannot be done without four or five years. In this way, Feng Mo and Alyssa studied the design drawings of the starship in the secret library during the day, and spent the evening with El and others who came to see him.
Time passed quickly, and nearly two years passed in a flash. During this period, the two sisters Xing Jinshu and Xing Shuwen, who had just ascended the throne, joined forces to completely stand firm in the court of the Star Empire.
And all the major forces that once supported the eldest prince were cleared out. Of course, those that could be cleared out were some abandoned forces. The real major forces at most cut some meat for the sisters to continue the family.
The sisters should not force them too much. They should leave a way for others so that they can meet each other in the future. Moreover, they have just ascended the throne and their foundation is unstable. Even with the support of Xu Yuanhang, it is still too difficult to move these forces in just two years.
They can only take it slowly and not rush. Now that the two women have established their footholds, they have finally begun to carry out drastic reforms. The previous Star Empire was very bloated, and they had to support many royal family members, which led to the loss of the empire's internal treasury for years, and they lived completely on the foundation.
The first order issued by the two women after taking office was that all the star gates in the entire Star Empire were taken over by the military. The tolls collected were deducted from the expenses of the military fleet stationed, and the rest were all handed over to the treasury. Without the approval of the two women, no one was allowed to withdraw.
After this order was issued, it affected the interests of many nobles, but because the two women had previously swept away all forces, the noble families dared not speak out, and they were very afraid of Xu Yuanhang's existence, so this order could be carried out smoothly.
Because the star gates of the Star Empire were previously managed by major noble families and nobles, and the star gates directly managed by the empire were less than three-fifths, these noble families only needed to pay a small amount of taxes to the empire every year.
This time, the two women directly took back the ownership of all the star gates. For this reason, Xu Yuanhang, an old man, personally led the long-distance fleet to go around the Star Empire.
And the other two legendary commanders all showed up and endorsed the two women in person. The idea of taking back the ownership of the star gates was thought up by Xing Shuwen. This was implemented according to Feng Mo's idea, because all the star gates of the Storm Human Federation belonged to the Federation.
The first step was very solid. The ownership of the star gates was taken back, which greatly enriched the treasury, but the star gate is a long-term project after all. If you want to fill the emptiness of the treasury immediately, you need to think of other ways.
For this reason, the two women and Feng Mo formulated three plans for the Star Empire, which would solve the problem of the treasury being empty and straighten out the bloated Star Empire.
The first plan was aimed at the nobles. The entire Star Empire was too old, so old that the Star Empire existed before the Apocalypse Empire existed.
Countless nobles were born in the empire over countless years. In terms of taxation, the nobles have a natural advantage, and they can raise private soldiers to form a country within a country, which has led to the fact that the nobles are now too big to be eliminated. The empire allows nobles, but they must be restricted.
So the first plan is how to weaken the nobles and put a layer of shackles on them. For this reason, Feng Mo suggested that the old method should be used, pulling a group and beating a group.
Because the Yu family of the Intelligence Department has always supported Xing Shuwen, this has led to the internal affairs of the various families in the entire Star Empire being transparent in the eyes of the two women. Feng Mo also thought of a conspiracy used by the ancients before the time travel, the Enfeoffment Order.
Focus on investigating the nobles whose internal heirs are seriously fighting and disharmonious, and then infiltrate and induce their heirs to support the implementation of the Enfeoffment Order, which can greatly weaken the overall strength of the nobles and the family.
The first plan is to use this Enfeoffment Order, and the second plan is to eliminate the relatives in all departments of the empire and simplify the staffing of departments. There is no good way to do this, and it can only be implemented through tough means.
If the first plan goes well, the two women will be able to master most of the power at that time, which is enough to implement the second plan. For the last plan, the three people will turn their attention to the royal family.
In recent years, there are many royal family members in the Star Empire. Although it is difficult for the Star Spirits to give birth, there are many stallions and breeding machines.
A group of people who failed to win the throne and a group of collateral branches give birth to children every day. Generally, a level 6 gene warrior can live for thousands of years, and during this period, they are either giving birth or on the way to giving birth.
This has led to a bloated staff. At present, there are more than 70 billion Star Spirits in the entire Star Empire, accounting for one-eightieth of the total population of the Star Empire.
But the royal family accounts for more than 400 million people, and all of these people need unconditional support from the empire. They can receive educational resources from childhood to adulthood, but after they become adults, regardless of their excellence or not, the national treasury will invest a large sum of money in them. They can also choose any department or fleet for internship.
And the welfare benefits of the royal family are 10,000 times that of the external citizens, which has led to the fact that the resources consumed by 400 million people are almost equal to the resources consumed by the citizens of the entire empire. This is deformed and unhealthy.
In response to this, Feng Mozhen also deployed a three-step strategy for the royal family. The first step is to reduce the supply of resources on the grounds that the treasury is empty.
The second step is to set up an internal assessment of the royal family, and each year the ministers, three legendary commanders, and even two emperors will take turns to serve as the chief examiner.
The third step, after the first two steps are completed, this is a bottleneck, which will inevitably cause fierce opposition within the royal family. Feng Mo's goal is to force a rebellion. It happens that there are many people in the royal family, similar to leeks, and they will be killed in batches.
Fewer people means less resource consumption. Then all stallions and fertility machines will be cancelled to slow down the fertility rate of the royal family, so the royal family's consumption of the empire can basically be controlled.
Of course, these cannot avoid the cooperation of the three major fleets of the empire, so the contact with the three legendary commanders of the three major fleets must be indispensable. Now Commander Xu Yuanhang has stood firmly behind the two women, and the other two must also strive for it.
While the two women were trying to gain a foothold in the empire, Feng Mo was not idle either.
