章節 806: A well Oiled Machine

Following the triumphant conclusion of their first official war against interstellar civilizations, the imperial government declared a one-week holiday across the empire to mark the historic victory. To further enhance the celebratory atmosphere, the imperial family announced a fifty-percent discount on selected essential products, with the family personally covering the remainder of the cost to ensure accessibility for all citizens.

Additionally, the government made all subsidized utilities—electricity, water, and gas—entirely free for an entire month, offering tangible benefits to every household and amplifying the sense of collective celebration.

In a gesture of goodwill, individuals serving minor prison sentences for petty crimes, deemed to have genuinely repented, were pardoned. Similarly, fines for minor offenses were forgiven, encouraging as many citizens as possible to join the festivities without lingering burdens.
