But what could she possibly do alone?
Even though she had transferred quite a few people from the government system of the Twin Stars within the Alliance, that was hardly enough even for Korolya, let alone Mingyan City with a population of four billion—it was like trying to extinguish a car fire with a cup of water.
No matter how reliable and developed the Alliance’s civil servant system might be, it couldn’t handle a sudden expansion in management scale by dozens of times.
In the end, managing Korolya would still depend on the local Korolya people.
For this reason, after the war ended, Gu Hang established five Loyal Heir Academies and five Comprehensive Academies in Mingyan City.
…
The expense of the academies was not significant; just find a local building, and instructors could be summoned from Rage Owl Star. The grant expenditure was only about a thousand points each, which was insignificant for Gu Hang, who controlled millions of grant points.
However, training the personnel was a big issue.
Mingyan City’s original administrative bureaucrats and public servants numbered about two million. It seemed like a huge number, but it was actually far from sufficient.
In Gu Hang’s plan, the number of public servants needed to expand to at least 0.3% of the total population—that meant 12 million public servants.
Even in a habitat like Nest Capital, where the population density is extremely high, and the corresponding number of public servants required could be greatly reduced, it would still need to reach at least seven to eight million people to ensure control of the entire Nest Capital as Gu Hang wished.
No matter what, the current two million administrative personnel were definitely not enough, not to mention that among these two million there was a lot of dross.
That was where Osenia’s work came in; she needed to recruit numerous administrative personnel and implement the Alliance’s administrative system.
Of course, it certainly couldn’t be done in a few months. Recruiting and training millions of reliable administrative personnel could not be accomplished overnight. Even the current ranking system executed by the Alliance on the Twin Stars couldn’t be copied over all at once—it was too expensive.
However, some emergency measures could be put into place first.
The primary issue was not the capability of the administrative personnel but their loyalty.
For this, Gu Hang spent a total of four hundred thousand grant points.
Forty thousand administrative personnel were trained in the five Loyal Heir Academies, costing ten points per person, in a span of one week, over the course of several months.
This was considered an emergency measure.
In the future, the millions of public servants needed by Mingyan City couldn’t possibly all undergo “soldier token” training and be endowed with the level of loyalty akin to a political commissar.
Moreover, even training someone to be a political commissar could ensure loyalty but not job competency.
But for emergencies, it was sufficient.
Osenia’s current task was this: to form forty thousand task forces centered around these forty thousand administrative personnel. These trained individuals would play a central role in the task forces, which would also include over twenty people each to assist them, under their supervision.
These people would then be dispatched to all areas that had been negotiated over, incorporated, or cleansed to begin their work.
Their main duties included registering the population of each district, promoting the Alliance’s policies, distributing basic supplies, organizing labor production, and organizing trade and commerce… These were their primary responsibilities.
Of course, the most important of these was organizing labor production.
No matter how well Gu Hang’s Alliance had developed over the years, it definitely couldn’t support Korolya. There were simply too many people on this planet, and in the end, they would have to rely on themselves for subsistence.
This so-called labor production and trade and commerce mainly depended on what these districts were originally doing. But to be honest, in areas like Bottom Nest District and Lower Nest District, there were few decent industries to begin with.

But it doesn’t matter, if it exists, it will be nationalized and continue operating. Workers’ treatment and enterprise benefits are guaranteed, with the generated profits distributed to the workers according to the alliance’s rank policies, and the remaining portion remitted.
As for the places that lack such facilities, that’s where Osenia’s leadership comes into play, namely, industrial transfer.
In recent months, fleets of starships from Rage Owl Star have arrived. Many sectors identified in preliminary research as suitable for development on Korolya, and which were experiencing production capacity overflow on Rage Owl Star, have thus had large segments of their industrial lines dismantled and relocated here.
As a result, Rage Owl Star has been bustling with activity lately. Many production lines, previously sealed in Wu Jiarong’s research institutes and pulled out from mother-machine Black Boxes, but unable to be launched due to raw material issues, workforce shortages, or structural industrial problems, were shipped en masse on the Gu Commercial Firm’s transport ships to Korolya.
The most typical among these were the low-end military industries: rifles, bullets, towed field guns, artillery shells, bullet-resistant inserts… These technically less sophisticated industries were perfect for the managed blocks within Mingyan City.
Another particularly important industry was the synthetic starch production line, along with the corresponding organic waste recycling facilities.
What exactly is organic fertilizer? Let’s not delve into that, as it’s somewhat unpleasant.
Despite industrial farming reforms in Green Valley Region on Rage Owl Star and the great harvests on Heijian Star in recent years leading to ample food reserves, one must economize the transported foodstuffs as relying solely on external supplies is unrealistic; on the other hand, the alliance can’t simply inject all of the food into Korolya either, as strategic reserves are necessary.
Under the conditions present in Mingyan City’s Bottom Nest District, to feed so many people, reliance on mass-produced synthetic starch is inescapable.
But coming back to the topic, regardless of the raw materials used, the synthetic starch produced in the end is indistinguishable.
If there really are several blocks without any industrial development, the alliance would also send over some industries that could be considered mid-end.
Iron Bulls, Hunter vehicles; engineering machinery manufacturing; Strider Armored Vehicle production lines; collection, processing, and smelting of metal scrap…
These industries required a considerable number of workers, often attracting enough to establish a large heavy industry factory capable of employing workers from several blocks.
Such actions are not solely to support the construction of Mingyan City. For heavy industry, relocating to a location with denser population and lower costs also has its advantages, enabling significant cost reduction and a faster pace of production expansion.
In cases where local research groups, having performed their on-site audits, found a region unsuitable for development with no support for industrial lines from the alliance, there was still another way.
Finding work across blocks is one option; relying on a large factory with one employed person per household, secured with a job rank, was just enough to prevent starvation.
Moreover, not everyone had to work in the factories. The remaining people could take up various service-oriented ancillary trades such as working in canteens, clothing, catering, transport teams, construction workers, and so on.
If all else fails, the entire block’s surplus population would be relocated.
Of course, this also required screening.
Those without issues could be directly sent to Rage Owl Star or Heijian Star, where there is still a significant demand for workers.
In Gu Hang’s view, although Nest Capital was specially built to accommodate high-density populations, the density had become excessively high. Korolya’s environment was long incapable of supporting it. The large-scale migration of Korolya’s population to other planets of the alliance would be a long-term policy for the future.
However, not just anyone can migrate to the twin stars.
For instance, some blocks suffer from severe cult activities. After a thorough cleanup, the remaining populace, genuinely less tarnished by the cult but who have indeed followed it in the past, would be concentrated and sent to immigration bases—Mingyan City already has such a massive facility designed for temporary accommodation of human taxes for the Imperial Tax.
These people would then be used to pay the tax on the next visit of the Imperial Tax Fleet—although Korolya doesn’t currently pay taxes, it can choose to do so, after which it can exchange the taxes paid for Tax Currency.
…
These are the fundamental solutions Gu Hang has put forward to end the security war: economic development.
With full stomachs and a future to look forward to, will the people, well-fed and sturdy, take up arms against the Star Realm Army or the Salvation Army’s guns and cannons with their own flesh and blood?
