Traveling through the infinite wasteland

"What I said is just a formality. I'm just conveying it to your nominal grandfather. However, he doesn't actually have much hope as to whether it will have any effect!"

"What he really means is that he just hopes that you will try your best to serve him. It is best if you can give birth to an heir as soon as possible! In this way, your position will be consolidated! The Yun family may have a chance to fight for it!"

Yun Xun'er said quietly: "Giving birth to an heir! Which woman in this harem doesn't care about it? But can this matter be done in a hurry? It all depends on God's will!"

"Isn't that medicine given to you? Find a chance to use it and give it a try!" Su Qinghan said with a smile.

Yun Xun'er's pretty face was a little hot: "This thing... may not be effective! The probability is so low, but let's give it a try!"

"This was originally a matter of luck!" Su Qinghan smiled and looked at her slender figure.

"Being able to find such a man means that your luck is not that bad! At least you are much better than your aunt! Since your aunt can give birth to a princess, there is no reason for you to be worse than your aunt!"

"But I wish..." Yun Xun'er hesitated for a moment, then said:

"However, I have to make something clear! No matter what the fate of the family race in the empire ends up, I will never come out to speak for them! It's not that I don't care, I just want to be powerless!"

"In this palace, my status in his heart is far inferior to those of them! They either grew up with him; or they fought side by side in the past; or they took good care of him; or even the one who came in recently , it will also be of great help to his career!”

"Only I have brought him a lot of unnecessary troubles in the past! I almost caused him... and because of this, those people are still resentful of me! Today, my relationship with him is almost the same. The weakest of all the girls in the harem! It’s hard to protect her own status, let alone help them!”

Su Qinghan nodded gently with understanding: "Serving the king with sex! It's not a long-term solution! However, aren't you currently taking care of some errands for him? The superpower equipment manufacturing industry is not something that ordinary people can manage!"

"But my current ability is just a dry star!" Yun Xun'er said,

"Besides, I don't have many founders under my command, and they can't meet the needs of the supernatural legion at all! Are you already a semi-divine grade founder? Why don't you come over and help me?"

"He told me this!" Su Qinghan said with a smile,

"Since you mean the same thing, then I agree! In addition, I also brought some people this time, all of whom are good creators!"

Yun Xun'er said happily: "This is the best!"

Shuofeng Empire, Tianhua Universe Region.

A few days ago, Zhong Zixia finally arrived with her envoys and went to the Imperial Palace to meet with the Queen to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and to request a marriage to the Queen on behalf of Ye Qingyuan.

Long before departure, the two parties had reached a tacit agreement on these matters in private, and raising them now was just a formality.

Fang Yuqing readily agreed to the matter and agreed with him that the Queen would patrol the southern border of the empire in two months and would pay a state visit to Daomang Kingdom.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Zixia also had a private meeting with the Queen regarding the purchase of certain sensitive materials.

It is estimated that the new kingdom will need too many resources to grow and develop! Although it has many convenient conditions, it cannot solve all problems! For example: energy!

On the territory of the kingdom, many veins of energy crystals have been discovered, and enough equipment and manpower have been arranged to mine them with all their strength! However, there is still no way to meet future needs!

Due to the large-scale domestic construction, the ever-expanding fleet, and the continuous external expansion operations in the future, the energy consumption has reached a surprising number!

The energy reserves that have been proven so far can guarantee that there will be no problems within a year or two, but it will be hard to say after that!

Without energy supply, no matter how advanced the industrial system is, it will be shut down, and no matter how huge the war machine is, it will be paralyzed! This is a golden rule that has been proven since the age of the earth!

Therefore, Ye Qingyuan has already used all the chips he can use to increase his energy reserves at any cost! Among them is purchasing from Shuofeng Empire.

After all, it is a super-powerful country, and its foundation in this regard is much stronger than that of the Kingdom of Daomang! In addition to the huge national inventory, there are also a large number of discovered but untapped resource planets, which exist as the empire's strategic reserves!

"Energy crystals? How many do you plan to buy?" In the imperial study, Fang Yuqing asked casually while playing with the light pen in his hand.

Zhong Zixia said: "We No. 17, We No. 24... and other eight types of standard military-use energy crystals are 80 billion tons; et No. 39, et No. 96... and other seventeen specifications of industrial use energy crystals are ninety billion tons; and 8 billion tons of eight types of energy crystals used in special equipment and high-tech research institutes, including YT47 and YT59!"

The Queen's expression changed slightly: "Did I hear you correctly? What do you... need so much energy for?"

In peacetime, the Shuofeng Empire's annual energy loss is this amount! How can a kingdom that has only been established for a short time use so much energy? Just to establish a strategic reserve, this number is too big!

"Your Majesty, you heard it right! This is what he meant!" Zhong Zixia responded respectfully.

"Huh? His ambition seems quite big!"

Zhong Zixia said: "Your Majesty! The situation on the other side of the Prison Soul Star Sea is tense! A larger-scale war will break out in the near future, and the army of the Tiloa Empire is watching eagerly. We have to prepare for a rainy day!"

Fang Yuqing snorted and said, "That's about it! However, this is not a small amount of money! Have you prepared enough crystal cores to pay the bill? Let's agree first that no credit is allowed this time! The Imperial Bank will not give it either You offer high-interest loans!”

"Furthermore, due to the current international situation, the price of this energy crystal has increased a lot! You must also be prepared for this!"

"Your Majesty! This is not a problem!" Zhong Zixia said happily, "As long as you agree to sell it, I can use the crystal core to settle the bill immediately! Every penny is a lot!"

The queen's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and she stared at him with some confusion: "That guy, how can he have so much spare money? He spends more money than I do! No wonder you, the prime minister, speak so loudly!"

"When did the Kingdom of Daomang become so wealthy? Is he going to rob the treasury of the ghost race?"

"Your Majesty! I don't know about this minister! You can ask him yourself!" Zhong Zixia said carefully.

The person in front of him was not only the empress of the empire, but also his future sister-in-law. He did not dare to neglect her both in public and private matters!

Fang Yuqing gave him a funny look: "Okay! You are quite naughty! Have you followed him for a long time and been influenced by him?"

"Okay! This is settled!" She stood up, slowly walked to his side, and said in a more cordial tone:

"It's rare for you to come here once, so just stay in the imperial capital for a few more days before leaving! If you need anything, just ask!"

Zhong Zixia took a breath and said: "Yes! Then thank you for taking care of it, Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite, you are his younger brother, we will be a family from now on! There is no need to be so separated!" Fang Yuqing said gently, "I have asked people to renovate your father's cemetery. You can go and see it when you have time!" "

Zhong Zixia looked suffocated, looked at her deeply, and bowed silently to thank her.

This queen is really considerate of her brother! I don't know how long this situation can last? There is no family affection in the imperial family. Can the two of them finally start well and end well?

After seeing off the chief minister of the kingdom, Fang Yuqing began to think about her own thoughts again. After staying in this place for a while, she has a different view of the piles of crap! When dealing with it, it becomes more and more like a superior person should behave!

Supporting the Kingdom of Daomang is certainly based on the feelings of the two of them, but the corresponding national interests are also placed in an extremely important place!

Supporting a big country in the Sea of ​​Prison Souls will undoubtedly be beneficial to the strategic plans for the future of the empire! Compared with the Tiloan Empire's direct troop occupation, such an indirect control strategy still seems more feasible.

Today's situation in the Star Sea is changing rapidly, and several major powers have been involved in the war. Only the Shuofeng Empire and the Xuanluo Federation are relatively stable.

The Xuanluo Federation suffered a huge defeat that time and has yet to recover! In addition, several ethnic groups at the top of the federation are vying for power and fighting among themselves. Because of this, there are no large-scale external military operations.

As for the Shuofeng Empire, due to the rebellion in the newly acquired twelve provinces of southern Xinjiang, Fang Yuqing issued an edict, mobilizing millions of troops to use all their strength to exterminate the rebels. At the same time, the Royal Supervisory Council under Li Kai's command gathered all their strength. Implement strict surveillance on all suspicious officials and officials in the imperial court!

The effect was obvious. Within a year and a half, thousands of bureaucrats were poached! A large amount of evidence shows that they are more or less related to the rebellion in southern Xinjiang!

Thousands of people, including high-ranking officials with the rank of governor of the universe region, as well as families with high status that have been passed down for hundreds of years! Even the eight major families have many important members involved! There are even members of the royal race!

Fang Yuqing had only one word for this: kill! And he will be hanged publicly!

For three whole days, the execution procession never stopped in the square in front of the Imperial Palace! Large areas of corpses lay on the ground!

No matter how prominent his status was and how noble his bloodline was during his lifetime, he still ended up with his body exposed in the open air! Let countless flies fly around on it! A large number of maggots, fed to their brains and intestines, burrowed in and out of these bodies that had been perfectly maintained during their lifetimes, cheering that they had another batch of delicious food!

For a time, everyone in the court was terrified! Those high officials and ministers have almost realized the determination and ruthless methods of this young queen, and they no longer have any contempt in their hearts! They began to strictly restrain the children and cronies of their respective families and keep to themselves, so as not to hit the edge of the knife!

As soon as the situation in southern Xinjiang is completely stabilized, the Queen will also fully activate the empire's war machine and join the ranks of competing in the Star Sea!

Time passed by unconsciously, and more than two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhong Zixia has returned from the empire, bringing a large amount of construction materials that the kingdom urgently needs! The large pre-built warehouse was filled to the brim!

The main warships of various types, as well as a complete production line of other types of warships, a wide variety of large-scale industrial machinery and equipment, five-star or above supernatural equipment, various rare resources needed for awakened people to break through, and highly concentrated nutrients ! Tons of precious metal minerals and more!

As long as the kingdom can use it, Zhong Zixia can buy as much as she can! Ye Qingyuan gave him a crystal card with three trillion crystal cores. Except for one-third of the energy spent on purchasing it, the rest was turned into various materials!

Such huge orders were placed, and most of them were given to the large chaebol families under the imperial royal family. It actually made some important members of the royal family have a good impression of this new regime! The original voices of dissatisfaction about the marriage between the two countries have also become much quieter! After all, no one has trouble with money.

Why Ye Qingyuan spends money so lavishly is because he thinks about the future situation and is prepared for a rainy day!

As the war in the Star Sea countries further intensifies, the prices of various military and civilian supplies will only get higher! And it can only be exchanged for hard currency such as crystal cores, energy crystals, and precious minerals!

The kingdom will soon face a series of large-scale wars, and the demand for various war resources is almost a bottomless pit! Even with all the reserves and the Clone Commandos' tireless help behind the scenes, there's no way he can feel at ease!

The Shuofeng Empire will soon use troops on a large scale. Once the war reaches a stalemate, domestic prices will definitely skyrocket! Controls on war supplies will be stricter, and then you won’t even be able to estimate what you can buy!

You can only buy as much as you can while the crystal core is still able to exchange for things! Accumulate as much capital as possible for the kingdom to rise! It is a reasonable choice.

Of course, there is a more trouble-free way, which is to steal other people's! As long as your fleet is up to par and can destroy a country, then everything on the other side's territory will be yours, and you don't have to spend a penny!

A year and a half have passed, and the kingdom's preparations for a new round of military operations are almost complete. It won't take long before the troops can be used again!

The only thing that made him slightly unhappy was that the rebellion in the twelve provinces in southern Xinjiang of the empire had not been completely subdued. Although Fang Yuqing had arrived in southern Xinjiang, he had to wait until the things there were completed before he could come over. The originally scheduled visit would definitely be postponed. .

All in all, the two of them haven't seen each other for a year and a half since they said goodbye. I really miss her! I don't know if the other party has the same meaning in his heart.

However, this is not entirely a bad thing. The Kingdom can seize the time and expand its territory to dozens of cosmic regions, so that the status gap between the two countries will not be too great!

In the royal study, all the ministers gathered together to exchange opinions on the future direction of the kingdom's external expansion. Leng Zhuo called up the star maps around the kingdom and explained them one by one to the officials present:

"...The Hell Soul Star Sea, with the current kingdom as the center, about five thousand light years to the north, is the Shuo Feng Empire! There are hundreds of medium and small forces in the middle; next to the empire, in the southeast It’s the Xuanluo Federation. Of course, based on where we are, that place should be called the Northeast! It’s about eight thousand light years away from us!” (To be continued.)
