Stars for the good Warhammer

Chapter 14 Female Governor
  "The wind is getting colder."

In Cologne No. 3, as the visor above the top of the Huangquan spire slowly opened, looking out at the endless valley outside the window, Noela smoothed her long flaxen hair that was messed up by the wind.

"Because the next period of eternal night is coming soon, the star's light illumination will decrease, which will naturally cause the surface temperature to drop sharply."

The speaker was a well-dressed young man. After adding a new round of tea to the woman's teacup with a porcelain teapot, the man continued to reply.

"During this period, slackers in the quarry will always avoid work for various reasons. The output of gemstones is expected to drop to two-thirds of the warm season. I am worried that we will not be able to collect the dues before the next tax period. of taxes, maybe you shouldn’t be so kind to them.”

"Is there any possibility of further increasing the working hours of eleven hours a day?" The woman stirred the silver spoon in the tea cup with one hand, looking very disdainful. "Those people always need to rest, and I have read the report and it turns out that the mineral veins located near the equator are almost exhausted, which is the main reason for the reduction in gem production this year.”

"If we want to increase production, we can only continue to take risks and mine the veins deep in the permafrost. I have ordered people to explore some time ago, so this is not something we should consider now."

Speaking of this, Noela raised the tea cup, stared at the reflection in the cup, and showed an intriguing smile.

"Compared with that, I'm still more concerned about Haven's situation. Do you think now would be a good time?"

"Maybe we can use this to annex it in one fell swoop."

Gazing at the elegant young woman in front of him, Hadian did not answer immediately. The woman's flaxen hair fell down the back of the chair like silk. Since she lived in the spire of the residential area all year round, this made her Her skin looks extremely fair and delicate.

The eyes are long and narrow, making her smile very gentle and beautiful. She has a pair of eyes that are as clear and blue as the ocean and is breathtaking. Paired with a beige dress without too many gorgeous decorations, she looks like she is elegantly sipping tea at the table. The saintly sanctity of the state religion is inviolable.

In Hadian's eyes, unlike those fat-headed fools, Noela, the mistress of the Cologne-3 satellite, is an excellent ruler. Although she is a woman, there is a very wealthy person under her seemingly weak appearance. Intelligent soul.

As a satellite orbiting a gaseous planet, Cologne 3 has a very unique valley landform on its surface. A large number of rift valleys are spread across the surface, and it is almost impossible to find a flat land among them.

In these rift valleys, there is a strange yellow crystal, which is an excellent energy-gathering material. As early as the Great Expedition of the Empire, the earliest colonists established their first base on it.

Until one day, for some reason unknown to the Empire, the Cologne-3 satellite actively stopped rotating. This change destroyed the original imperial colony and made the surface environment of Cologne-3 no longer suitable for habitation. .

The side of the planet facing the planet has become a permanently frozen world of extreme winter, while the side facing the star has become an unbearably hot world of purgatory. However, for those precious crystal resources, a certain merchant family that was about to decline a hundred years ago spent a huge amount of money. He used some special means to purchase this standard world of death from the Terran government.

The merchants used old spacecraft parts to build spires for living in the equatorial zone where extreme winter meets purgatory, and restarted excavation work. However, before they could make much money, the local market was under attack from Haiwen. The Sellers family was the first to arrive.

A large number of businessmen who had received external support began to transfer the interests that should have belonged to Cologne III to outsiders. This situation lasted for a long time until a palace incident occurred.

Due to the inexplicable death of the eldest son of the former family, Cologne III ushered in a mistress. Noela was only 16 years old that year, but it was such a little girl who was not favored by everyone, but in such a short period of time Drastic reforms were carried out within a few years.

Taking advantage of his sociability, he first quickly established his own personal connections among the nobles of the star district, and then used reasonable investment acquisitions, economic bundles, and the influence of family political power.

In a short period of time, he successfully seized the lifeblood of various discrete business guilds and regained control of the market that had been taken away reasonably and legally, thereby accumulating considerable wealth for the family.

But Noela, who accomplished all this, did not hold the wealth tightly in his hands like other imperial officials. Instead, he boldly redistributed it, put a large amount of funds back into the market, and built Tons of new dig sites.

More importantly, it also has a relatively good reputation among the public.

"Now is the most vulnerable moment for the Salles family. The fleet that they have worked hard for centuries has been attacked by pirates. Almost the entire army, including the governor and staff, was wiped out. Originally, they wanted to use this cruise fleet. existence to compete with us, but now they have lost such capital." "The person who currently rules Haven is Otto. I heard that he is a lustful and incompetent playboy. With the help of Noela The young lady has outstanding abilities. If you take the initiative to contact her, I’m afraid it won’t take long to play with her.”

Faced with the man's reply, Noela just smiled while looking at the scenery outside the window.

"What you said makes me sound like the kind of bad woman who is good at playing with men's emotions."

However, as the words fell, he put the teacup in his hand back on the table.

"But having said that, do you think a political marriage can make Haven mine?"

Hearing such a question, Hardien couldn't help but frowned.

"This is your plan." At this moment, Noela stood up. "I have no intention of really devoting myself. Apart from the Emperor, I am afraid that no man I can truly appreciate has been born yet."

"How specific it is, we have to wait until we go to Haiwen in person to know. I'm very curious about what kind of person that young master Otto is."

Speaking of this, Noela’s tone paused for a moment, and then she glanced at the man aside with her peripheral vision.

"I'm very curious about who arranged the pirate fleet that attacked the Sayles family. I heard that people from Cologne 3 were involved, but I didn't know about it."

After hearing this, the man's expression did not change much.

"I guess they're just some idle rumors."

Just listen to the man say with sincerity.

"But if you care, I can help you investigate to see if any of our people have contacted those Chaos Heretics."

Seeing the respectful look on the other party’s face, Noila just waved her hand.

"No need, I believe there won't be such a person on Cologne 3."

Having said that, accompanied by two maids, the young female governor walked towards the bedroom, her elegant figure like an elegant cat.

  And shortly after Noela left, she looked at the gradually mixed scenery outside the window.

The man's eyes gradually became meaningful.

"Ah"

"After all, she's just a young girl."
