Chapter 167 The troubles of the Duke
Gallent Empire Royal Auction House.
A group of more than ten people walked into the hall of the auction house. The leader was handsome and looked very young. After entering the hall, the man stopped. More than ten people behind him stood in one go, and his movements were neat, which attracted everyone in the auction house to stop and watch.
Spielberg, the director of the Royal Auction House, is a middle-aged man in his fifties. He has been in the auction industry since he was over 10 years old. Due to his fierce vision and careful thoughts, he has been promoted from an elementary school apprentice to the executive director and chief appraiser of the Imperial Royal Auction House in just 40 years. In other words, he has the final say in all the business-related matters of this auction house.
When I got up this morning, Spielberg felt his right eyelid twitching. Every time the right eyelid twitched, something would happen, so Spielberg rushed to the auction house very early and supervised every employee under his command, fearing that he would be negligent.
As the saying goes... the higher you stand, the more painful it will be when you fall down. Spielberg understood this truth when he entered the third year of his career. At that time, the supervisor of the auction house he was in was swept out after just one stroke. Of course, the direct consequence of the person's mistake was that the auction house lost billions of credit points.
The same is true for Spielberg now. Every day after get off work, he feels like he is fighting a bad battle and is exhausted, but he still has to show his energy to work the next day, because there are many people staring at his current seat. Seeing that it is almost noon, Spielberg also breathes a sigh of relief. Generally, auction houses are busiest in the morning and evening, and there are usually no big customers coming at noon. Most of the items sold at night are small items with low prices, and auctions are conducted on virtual networks. Therefore, any problems will occur in the morning. After twelve o'clock, most of the day's work will be over.
Suddenly, Spielberg felt that the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet. He looked at the door strangely, and Spielberg suddenly felt as if he was shining on his face by strong light, and his pupils instantly shrank as the size of a needle.
Spielberg is not a warrior and has no cultivation, but his eyes look at people like he distinguishes objects, and he never makes any mistakes. This is also the reason why he was able to sit on the first seat of the Royal Auction House without any background at all.
Spielberg looked at the picture without knowing it, but when he looked at the young man, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes, as if he was not looking at a person, but a sun star emitting a thousand feet of light. He became so small under the sun's light that his knees were weak, and Spielberg almost knelt down.
"Supervisor, what's wrong with you..."
Just when Spielberg almost fell to his knees, the voice of an employee next to him woke him up. He didn't bother to pay attention to the employee, Spielberg wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and greeted Wang Tian. May I ask this adult, do you need my help?"
Spielberg walked three meters in front of Wang Tian, bowed deeply, and asked respectfully.
The person coming was Wang Tian. He originally wanted to take George and Wang Gan to Hailan to receive his fiefdom planet. Who knew that Mr. Kangsauer informed him to receive the slaves of the empire rewarded him.
Although Wang Tian has lived in an environment like the destruction of civilization, the earth has long abolished the slave system before the disaster.
Unexpectedly, I came to the Galente Empire, which has such a developed technological civilization, but I could see the existence of slaves.
George, a fellow traveler, told Wang Tian that most imperial countries were like this. After the war, the population was plundered. Except for the exchange of prisoners, the rest would become slaves. Even in the federal countries, slaves existed semi-openly. They were only prohibited by law. They did not have any binding force on some powerful clans.
Although the Gallent Empire dominated the Milky Way, there were still wars.
The Galente Empire has a vast territory and is adjacent to the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. There are also some civilized countries of twelve and three levels. They are also peeking at the rich resources of the Milky Way. Although they dare not invade the Milky Way in large quantities due to the cosmic conventions, small disputes occur from time to time.
The name of the overlord of the Gallent Empire's galaxy is not blown out. They can almost integrate the power of the entire Galaxy. In comparison, even if the level of civilization is one or two lower than the other, they will not suffer a loss in fighting. Instead, the Gallent Empire's army often invades the other's administrative stars and plunder them. Which administrative stars do not have a population of tens of billions of land? This is the source of the Gallent Empire's slave land.
Kangsauer went to the Liuyun Star Domain several times, hoping to purchase some advanced civilization military technology, which was also for the needs of the war in the Gallent Empire.
Now, in terms of military affairs, the Gallent Empire is no longer weaker than other galaxies’ thirteen-level civilization countries in the universe. However, in terms of level improvement, it also requires the recognition of advanced civilization countries in other galaxies. This obstacle will soon disappear after Wang Tian came to the empire.
According to Kangsauer's words, the lives of these slaves were in his hands, and he was not afraid of their rebellion. Wang Tian did not want it, but after hearing Kangsauer's situation with Hailan Star, he decided to take some slaves there.
Because the sea blue star mentioned in Kangsauer is one-third the size of the capital star, the number of people is only more than one billion, which is completely incomparable to the capital star with a population of over one hundred billion.
So Kangshao asked Wang Tian to bring more people, and at the least he could develop some barren lands. As for the fact that the use of machinery is used to open up the land now, Kangshao was forgot about it.
Wang Tian thought about it and found that before the family's children had finished their studies from Imperial Academy, they really needed some people who were loyal to themselves to manage the planet. Although these slaves were not trustworthy, they could still do the work of running errands.
Originally, Wang Tian wanted Ellis to take over Hailan, but Ellis was pregnant at this stage, so Wang Tian could only experience it himself. However, he also sent someone to the Earth Federation to ask Wang Aotian to transfer a group of talents with administrative star management experience to him.
Wang Tian didn't say anything, and none of the more than ten people behind him spoke. Spielberg faced the silent Wang Tian, and cold sweat broke out on his head. Just when he was about to hold on, Wang Tian spoke. "You are also responsible for the transaction of slaves, right?"
The master was finally willing to speak, and Spielberg felt relieved. For some reason, when Wang Tian was not speaking, he felt like a huge stone weighing heavily on his heart, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly.
"After my words, all slaves in the Gallent Empire must be traded through our auction house. We can find a suitable place here for any kind of slaves you need. Please come to our VIP room to talk."
Spielberg replied respectfully. After seeing Wang Tian nodding and approval, he drove his body a little to the side, led the way in front, and walked towards a VIP room inside the auction house.
Wang Tian was very worried now. For the first time, he felt that his subordinates were extremely short of people. Originally, Ellis or Bruce were dealing with these things, but this time Ellis definitely could not come. Wang Gan said he wanted to supervise others to decorate his new home, and Bruce was busy with other things. So Wang Tian could only come in person. Ellis also specifically reminded George not to give Wang Tian an idea.
That's not all. There were more than a dozen Wang's children who had just advanced masters, saying that they wanted to follow Wang Tian to have a long experience. The people's standing posture and body looked like they were from an army. They felt extremely awkward when they walked with them. So after entering the auction house, they always had a gloomy face, but they scared Spielberg very much.
After entering the VIP room and sitting down, Wang Tian looked at Spielberg's panic-faced look, smiled and said, "My name is Wang Tian, I'm here to collect the slaves given to me by the Empire. Can you introduce the situation?"
It would be fine if Wang Tian didn't say it. The name of the newspaper scared Spielberg so much that he almost collapsed on the ground. Fortunately, a Wang family member standing behind him pulled him and did not make a fool of himself in public.
What kind of character is Wang Tian? In the past few days, the entire Gallent Empire has been talking about the starry sky powerhouse Wang Tian accepting the imperial reward. Even the masters are proud of seeing Lord Wang Tian. Unexpectedly, they appear in front of him. Spielberg couldn't help but blush over his unreliable behavior just now.
"Sir, please wait a moment..."
Spielberg, who came to his senses, did not dare to neglect and pushed a movable touch screen to the front of the sofa where Wang Tian was sitting.
"Dude, according to the regulations of the empire, you can select 50,000 slaves from the existing slaves in the empire as the reward for you by the empire. Now all the slave list is here. You can choose as you want. If you have any dissatisfaction in the future, you can also come back and return to exchange land..."
Spielberg had already received an order to allocate 50,000 slaves to Wang Tian, but he thought that the Duke would not come to handle such a small matter in person, but he did not expect that it was Wang Tian himself. After Spielberg placed the light screen in front of Wang Tian, he stood aside with his hands drooping and waiting for Wang Tian to ask questions at any time.
Wang Tian turned his attention to the screen, which was densely listed on it, divided into several major categories. For example, if you click on the military category, many menus will appear later, including army individual soldiers, warship pilots, fighter pilots, mecha operators, logistics maintenance officers, etc.
Click in and there are some subdivisions. Finally, there are the names of these slaves. Click on the names to see the age, physical characteristics and personality of the slave.
Just one thing is to look at the dizzyingness of the earth king and the sky. There are tens of thousands of options above, covering almost all industries in a civilized country. You should know that these slaves were originally civilians from other civilized countries. They were originally engaged in various tasks. After becoming slaves, the Galente Empire also divided the types according to their strengths to facilitate buyers.
"Duke, what type of slave do you need? Let me tell me, I'll choose it for you..." Spielberg, who is good at observing words and expressions, found that Wang Tian frowned when watching the list. He knew that it must be the first time Wang Tian saw this, so he plucked up his courage and went forward and said, if this was in normal times, he would not be qualified to talk to the Duke.
"Yeah? What type is needed...".
Wang Tian was really stunned for a moment. He only knew how to take slaves, but he didn't expect to choose whatever he wanted. He thought it was the empire who had assigned it, so he took it away when he came. Spielberg asked. Suddenly, Wang Tian really didn't know what kind of slaves he needed on his fiefdom planet.
In desperation, Wang Tian turned his head to look at George, his eyes full of threat, which means that if you don’t speak, I will give you all the hundreds of beautiful maids in your personal name.
"According to the law of the empire, if you reject the army stationed by the empire on the Aquarium Star, you will be responsible for the defense of the Aquarium Star. Think about what you need most now."
George, who understood Wang Tian's eyes, said with a bitter face.
Both my wife and Wang Tian cannot afford to offend. Alas, being a man is difficult, being a man with a wife is even more difficult, and being a man with a wife and about to have children is even more difficult. George's mind said something like this.
"The defense work on the Sea Blue Star is naturally to be held responsible for Wang Gan, so you need to buy a fleet. Well... the crew members who operate the fleet need to buy some, and if there is a fleet, they must have logistical support. The logistics personnel also need to buy it. Oh my god... Damn Wang Gan, why don't you come here by yourself?"
Wang Tian muttered quietly while calculating. George rolled his eyes next to him.
"Wang Tian, we have the money to buy a fleet, but do you want to push all the warships stationed in the Galente Empire on the Sea Blue Star? Their garrison has left, but the warships and equipment are all left. Now you only need to buy some slave soldiers who are familiar with warship combat for the time being, and the logistics personnel do not need to be replaced. I believe that Lord Brandon will leave you."
If George doesn't speak anymore, he probably won't be a slave today. I'm afraid Wang Tian will take a photo of a warship fleet here and go back.
Spielberg next to him was shocked in his heart. If a small warship is equipped with complete weapons and equipment, it will require hundreds of millions of Gallent credit points. If it is equipped with a fleet, it must have at least one flagship, a destroyer and a frigate.
A flagship produced by a twelve-level civilized country needs at least a trillion-dollar credit points. A destroyer and frigate also requires a trillion-dollar credit points, which requires more than three trillion-dollar credit points. The man actually said he could afford it. I don’t know what it is.
Wang Tian didn't know how much money the Tianwang Chamber of Commerce now has. But George knew that after taking over the Raphael family's business, he could bring tens of billions of Garente credit points to the Tianwang Chamber of Commerce every month, not to mention that the Tianwang Chamber of Commerce has more than 30 billion credit points issued by the Tianwang Chamber of Commerce on Tianlunxing. The exchange of Garente credit points is 1 to 100. Those alone are enough for Wang Tian to buy a fleet.
"Well? Are these researchers also slaves? The empire won't let these people become slaves, right?"
Wang Tian suddenly saw an option and pointed at Spielberg and asked.
"If you go back to the Duke, these researchers have been screened. Some top scientists will be treated well in the empire. These people are at best just assistants to some scientists, or those who have not independently developed scientific research projects, most of them are young people who have just left school shortly."
Spielberg's words made Wang Tian feel relieved. If the Gallent Empire treats scientific researchers like this, then the country will have no future.
"Let me do this, select 5,000 pilots who operate spacecraft, 5,000 warship logistics support personnel, and the remaining 40,000 people. You can choose all of them for me who are engaged in teachers or scientific research,"
Wang Tian thought about it repeatedly for a long time, overturned his idea of forming a private fleet after he arrived at Hailan Star, and decided not to fighters. Who knew when these slaves could not think about it and died with the planet in battleships.
Given the current situation of Hailan Star, there seems to be no need to rush to form a planet fleet. Let the younger generation in Brandon continue to stay at Hailan Star for a while. After the people brought by Wang Gan grow up, they can gradually be placed in Hailan Star's garrison.
Although Wang Tian doesn't like the feeling of leaving the safety of the entire planet to others for defense, it is obviously impossible to get him to form a mature army that can fight after being pulled out.
Wang Tian asked those scientific researchers for Li Bing and others. I believe that the country that can fight against the Gallent Empire will not have a low level of civilization.
Although these people are not famous scientists, they should have all come out of school and have some practical scientific research experience. The basic application knowledge they teach Li Bing and others should be much richer than what they learn in school.
As for those who are in the teaching profession he wants, Wang Tian wanted to open his own academy on Hailan, so that he could cultivate talents belonging to the Earth Federation one after another. Everyone did not need to enter the Federation before reissue Galente's ID card. According to Kangsauer, even if he is an emperor on Hailan, the emperor does not need to look at other people's faces if he wants to do things.
Soon, Spielberg became familiar with the choices he needed for Wang Tian. According to Spielberg, the empire would transport these people to the Hailan Star, and Wang Tian didn't need to worry about it. However, Wang Tian thought about it and still needed a large transport ship. He spent more than 5 billion credit points to buy a large transport ship from the auction house, which could ship 300,000 people at a time.
Wang Tian's decision made Spielberg very happy. It turned out that today's eyelids were sniffing money. A large transport ship of more than 5 billion could allow him to complete the auction target for this month in advance. You should know that the transactions of space warships and large transport ships are directly controlled by the empire. Only some small weapons and equipment are the turn of arms dealers. Of course, there are also dens for pirates to dispose of accounts in the Milky Way.
After leaving the auction house, Wang Tian immediately rushed back to the castle without stopping. He wanted to discuss with Wang Gan about going to Hailan. Since he was in the Earth Federation before, he did not expect that he would be granted a private territory on a planet, and his current plan must make some changes.
"Brother Wang Gan, the plan must be changed. I'm not at the sea blue star. I'm worried. Sister Ellis can actually go there too. Grandpa Kangsauer said that there are all spring seasons, beautiful scenery, and no heavy industry. The entire environmental protection planet is very beneficial to the little George in your belly.
Well...Bruce, forget it, the business of the Tianwang Chamber of Commerce is entirely supported by you and John.
By the way, I will bring more than 20,000 scientific researchers from level 12 civilized countries to form a researcher on Hailan Star. I don’t know who is interested in hosting it. It’s really a headache..."
Wang Tian leaned heavily on the sofa as if he was depressed, but it seemed that his performance was not successful. The people who called him all sat steadily, and no one seemed to be talking and echoing him.
"What you said is true? Are there really so many advanced civilized scientific researchers going to Hailan together?"
It was still a little girl who was easy to deceive, but Wang Yu couldn't help it after all, so he stood up and asked Wang Tian.
"Of course it's true, and they will obey your orders unconditionally..."
