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 meals 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 enjoyment?
Yet, did joining the Alliance mean 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 management of the Planet, participate in the new Planetary Government, and fully cooperate with Alliance endeavours; even promotional opportunities awaited in the Central Government in the future.
