Section 801

Therefore, the increased taxes and the lack of support from Cosmic Technology Group are not a concern for Xu Zi'an!

Xu Zi'an’s application was quickly approved.

After all, Xu Zi'an’s identity is well-established; he could not possibly be a spy or a Human Traitor.

Thus, no review was needed; it was approved in less than a second.

At the same time, the Intelligent Optical Brain presented a series of conditions.

Among these conditions, the degree of freedom was indeed significantly expanded.

Personnel appointments, military construction, and so on, were all left to his discretion.

However, all expenses, starting from today, would no longer be covered by Cosmic Technology Group.

Then there were the taxes, which also changed from the original proportion.

Yimei Nebula would receive thirty percent of the total taxes.

Thirty percent would belong to the Star Domain, Star System, and Star Sector it was located in, to be divided among themselves.

The remaining forty percent would belong to Cosmic Technology Group!

Yes, only thirty percent of the taxes!

Are you thinking this thirty percent is more than before?

Actually, no!

Because this thirty percent includes all personnel and equipment expenses for the entire Yimei Nebula!

Before this, Xu Zi'an personally received twenty percent!

Of course, Xu Zi'an could also claim all of the thirty percent of taxes belonging to Yimei Nebula for himself, or even allocate only a small portion.

But in reality, if he were to do that, Yimei Nebula’s authority would surely collapse.

It definitely couldn’t be done that way.

And this is why almost 99.99% of people would not choose to turn a territory into their private domain.

Because, in most cases, they would have to pay out of their own pocket!

The moment Xu Zi'an converted Yimei Nebula into his private territory, everyone in Yimei Nebula, from management to ordinary citizens, received this notification from Cosmic Technology Group.

Amidst their surprise, many citizens were both happy and worried.

They were happy that Xu Tianjiao had become their Star Nebula Lord!

They had become the people of Xu Tianjiao!

This was something they could really brag about!

Their worry was that, as a private territory, without support from above, the already struggling Yimei Nebula would most likely become even more difficult.

This made them extremely anxious.

But no matter how anxious they were, they could do nothing.

They were just ordinary people.

Decisions made by a great figure like Xu Tianjiao could not be overturned by ordinary people like them.

Perhaps this is also the greatest sorrow of this cosmic interstellar era, where the law of the jungle has been developed to its extreme.

While living conditions improved, lifespans increased, and more possibilities arose, correspondingly, many things were also lost.

Xu Zi'an has always been decisive in his actions.

Moreover, he didn't have much time to spend on governing the territory.

He needed to cut through the mess quickly, resolve issues with Interstellar Pirates and personnel arrangements, and properly plan the economy of the entire Yimei Nebula.

Then he had to attend to his own matters.

Immediately, he summoned Huang Wei, along with the remaining few Star Sector Lords and over a thousand Star System Lords, for a meeting!

This meeting would decide many future matters.

Before going, Xu Zi'an checked his communications.

After seeing the message content, he smiled slightly, replied to the message, and without further delay, took the Ladies to the conference room.

When Xu Zi'an arrived at the conference room, he saw over a thousand people standing in unison, looking at him with awe and fear.

Evidently, the fire Xu Zi'an had lit today had made them deeply feel its scorching intensity.

They still didn't know what Xu Zi'an would do next!

This was especially true after Xu Zi'an applied to make Yimei Nebula his private territory.

Everyone felt uneasy.

After Xu Zi'an entered, his gaze swept across the room, and without any superfluous words, he said indifferently, “You are all excellent.”

“I have never seen people as useless as you.”

“Such a vast nebula has been developed into this wretched state.”

“The leader is even a bandit chief!”

“It’s simply the biggest joke in the world!”

“You have truly opened my eyes!”

Facing Xu Zi'an’s sarcastic remarks, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

If it had been before, they might have righteously claimed it was due to Yimei Nebula’s environment and geographical location.
