Could living on 600 Tax Currency a year starve him to death?
At current Alliance market rates, that amount represented the purchasing power of 10,000 tons of primary grain!
With that, he could afford to buy a mansion in the core district of the capital city on Flying Wing Star, hire a bunch of servants, and enjoy lavish als and pleasurable play every day!
Of course, he had personal pursuits and wasn't after hedonism. Otherwise, as a Planetary Governor and a great capitalist, couldn't he easily spend 600 Tax Currency a year on personal enjoynt?
Yet, did joining the Alliance an one could no longer have personal pursuits?
Grade B8, within the Alliance, was quite high. He wasn't that old yet; he could continue to strive for managent of the Planet, participate in the new Planetary Governnt, and fully cooperate with Alliance endeavours; even promotional opportunities awaited in the Central Governnt in the future.
Previously, as the Planetary Governor and big capitalist, he had already reached the ceiling on Eagle Horse III; where was there room to advance?
But now, a vast and open opportunity lay before him.
According to his conclusion after chatting with old Shannon, the Alliance was coming, an unstoppable tide.
Rather than be the fool who resists the tide, he might as well be the one who rides it, or at least plays with it.
Perhaps, a future high official in the Alliance may bear the surnas Ulrich or Shannon.
Although Ulrich still felt nervous and uncertain about the future, it also ignited an extra fla within him.
In the past, already a Planetary Governor, would he really have been content to stay as a backwater Planetary Governor his whole life? The opportunity to progress further may be a good thing.

"Governor, the first batch of worlds to sign the 'Seven Horse Economic Union Bill' totals nine. Following your directive, these worlds have been selected for their relative poverty yet potential for developnt. Our economic assistance, along with matching industry upgrade plans and our managent personnel, will be in place promptly,"
Osenia reported progress to Gu Hang straightforwardly:
"The economic aspect is preliminary. In the following stages, we will also gradually establish institutions for managerial grade personnel through replacing the original salary systems of each world, ultimately replacing the original Planetary Governnts. Thus, aside from the regular Imperial Tax, these planets' production capacities should yield additional fiscal revenues similar to those of the Alliance localities, and the overall living standards of the population should also rise with economic developnt."
"Our comrades from the Developnt Departnt have already provided specific forecasts. We expect to continue investing 2 billion Tax Currency over the next two years. In these nine worlds, totaling a population of a hundred billion, a high economic growth rate should be maintained for the next two years, and the Alliance can annually secure about 1 billion Tax Currency in extra fiscal revenues."
"We will observe over the next two years if things develop according to the plan. If all is well, next year we will initiate the second batch of worlds to join the Economic Union. The ultimate plan is to expand the Economic Union to cover the entire Seven Horse Territory within ten years."
After hearing this, Gu Hang's brow slightly relaxed.
Indeed, when that ti cos, the Alliance's core territory could expand from the Tianma Star Sector to encompass all 88 worlds across the seven Star Sectors of the Seven Horse Territory!
With 230 billion core populations, the Alliance would beco even stronger!
