About the fact that the heir of Huajian School is a girl

"You... humph... are pretending to be confused? Well, let me tell you. If the Zhaolu River area really develops as described in this document, the warriors of the Holy Nation will definitely... definitely..."

"Degenerate. I've found the right words for you, please continue."

"When the people of the Holy Nation get used to this kind of life and their fangs are worn down, I'm afraid they will be ridden on and beaten by you humans."

This is true.

If it is between ethnic groups, there will only be ethnic integration, and in the end the two sides will not fight each other.

Song and Liao are good examples.

But there is reproductive isolation between humans and demons, and there is no fusion...

and many more……

"Let me ask you something."

Li Qingcha said,

"Can humans and demons intermarry?"

The nonsensical question confused the fox girl. She didn't react for a moment and of course didn't answer.

Li Qingcha scratched his head.

Isn't what I said clear enough?

She said: "Then I'll ask it another way. Can humans and demons have children?"

bang——

There was a muffled sound,

The chair under Yuyun's buttocks fell over.

She retreated to a corner of the room, folded her arms across her chest, and said, "Master Li, a gentleman does not deceive in the dark. I hope you will not make a mistake."

Li Qingcha: “…”

"Maid Yujun, you think too highly of yourself. I was clearly asking a serious question, but you took it as a teasing? Besides, Maid Yujun should be a fifth-rank cultivator. Even if she can't beat me, is there any problem with just defending and delaying me?"

"First of all, I can beat you; secondly...well..."

Yujun looked at Xiaohui carefully.

She was not sure how her mood would change if she fought with Li Qingcha.

Li Qingcha misunderstood.

"Are you afraid that cats can affect the performance of a fifth-rank cultivator? That shouldn't be the case, right?"

"You! @#*￥%..."

"Don't get excited~Don't get excited~"

It would be strange if I wasn't excited.

Yujun wanted to bite Li Qingcha, but at the same time she felt relieved, knowing that Li Qingcha probably had no other intentions.

She asked: "Why does Master Li ask this question?"

Li Qingcha nodded.

"Weren't we just talking about 'adapting to life' and 'smoothing out fangs'?"

Yujun then realized that what the other party wanted to talk about was the possibility of the two races merging.

she shook her head,

"Except for the fox totem, there is a fundamental difference in aesthetics between the human race and the Holy Nation. Didn't you see that the Holy Nation never distinguishes between men and women when plundering people, and all of them are used as slaves and human sacrifices? Moreover, when we make requests, we always ask for gold and silver, not beautiful women. One man's honey may be another man's poison. The beauty of the human race may not necessarily be a beauty to us."

Li Qingcha noticed the other party's choice of words——

Except for the fox totem.

She couldn't help but feel a little surprised and puzzled, but she didn't ask after all. She said, "If that's the case, the two tribes can't merge, so why should Maid Yujun worry?"

Yujun sneered,

"I was right when I said that Li was playing dumb. The two races cannot merge, but can't their lifestyles merge? We, Fox Totems, have read so many books about humans, how could we not know how powerful human culture is?"

Chapter 465 Hard to chew

At this point, things are clear.

What Yujun was worried about was exactly what the Great Xia court, from the emperor to Chu Zhongtian and then to Li Qingcha wanted. Moreover, this strategic thinking was passed down from generation to generation and had been passed down for hundreds of years.

On the surface, the human race is on the defensive, but in fact it is the strategic offensive party.

Li Qingcha raised the corner of his mouth.

"Come to think of it, you Fox Totems really like human culture and read human books. Last time I wrote a poem, you reacted strongly, but your soldiers didn't seem to care much."

Yujun said "hmm".

"As the human race says, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.' It is absolutely impossible to win without knowing the enemy's situation."

"Since you Fox Totems like human culture so much, why don't you support joint development?"

"Has Master Li forgotten what he said again?"

"Oh?"

"You mentioned dumping before. If human products are dumped in the Holy Nation, the Holy Nation's daily necessities industry will be completely destroyed. The Holy Nation will lose its own industries and, as a result, will lose its pricing power. At that time, the people of the Holy Nation will have no choice but to accept the prices offered by human merchants. By the same token, if all the soldiers of the Holy Nation lay down their swords and live a human life, they will also lose their 'pricing power'. At that time, we will be at the mercy of others. How can we resist?"

It is true that "people" are the butchers and "demons" are the meat.

Li Qingcha said: "What a clever trick to sell at a high price. Fox Totem has kidnapped all the people of your country and used them as bargaining chips..."

Yujun's face looked a little ugly.

Considering that the other party had been wielding a big stick before and accusing the Holy Nation of discrimination among the tribes, she could vaguely guess what was going to happen next.

The fox demon girl couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Humph! Master Li, do you mean to say that Fox Totem regards other tribes as the foundation of its pricing power?"

"no."

"???"

"Among the human race, only the children of aristocratic families and rich farmers can go to school. With scarce resources, it is inevitable that only a small number of people can receive a good education. I have to admit that."

Yujun tilted her head and looked at Li Qingcha in surprise.

Li Qingcha smiled,

"Maid Yujun likes to quote the sayings of the human race. Have you ever heard of 'I cannot reach it physically, but I yearn for it in my heart'? Maybe one day, the people of our two countries will be able to live a life where everyone can read and eat meat?"

These words...

Is he serious?

For a moment, Yujun had an illusion that she seemed to have been really convinced by the other party.

She shook her head, clearing away this dangerous thought.

"Master Li, there is no need to say more. All my thoughts and judgments are based on the interests of the Holy Nation. No matter how nice or exaggerated your words are, I will just listen to them."

Li Qingcha raised his eyebrows.

"Is it the interests of the people of the Holy Kingdom or the interests of the powerful people of the Holy Kingdom?"

"Of course it is the interests of the people, the long-term interests. The joint development of the Zhaolu River can indeed bring short-term benefits to the people, but from a long-term perspective, if we really cooperate with the human race, will the Holy Nation still be the Holy Nation a hundred years later?"

"It seems that the maid has really listened to what I said, 'Rulers must consider the common sense of the people, but also get rid of short-sighted judgments.'"

"..."

Yujun was silent.

That's right, the reason she had these thoughts had a lot to do with her communication with Li Qingcha.

She felt strange because Li Qingcha was like a detached figure, not a participant in history, but standing outside the puddle of time to observe the present, knowing both the future and the past.

This feeling is very absurd, yet very real.

What's more terrible is that Li Qingcha is also a genius cultivator. If he can achieve a great power like Jianzheng in the future, it is very likely to have a counter-effect on history.

If it can become a super product...

never mind,

Too far.

Yujun no longer thought about it.

"I'm sorry, Chief Li, I'm relatively conservative in this regard. Considering the immeasurable impact that joint development may have on the Holy Nation, please allow me to solemnly refuse."

Li Qingcha pondered.

I didn't expect Yujun to be more difficult to deal with than I thought. It was really beyond my expectations.

She sighed.

"I didn't want to make a fuss about Zuo Wang."

Yujun:!!!

She raised her head and looked at Li Qingcha.

Li Qingcha bared his teeth.

"Maid Yujun, I'm afraid it's hard for the leaders of your country to curb their greed for land. Even your father can't stand it."

Yujun frowned.

"It seems you have already inquired about it."

"Prince Zuo took the initiative to call the maid 'Niece Yuyun' in front of me. Isn't it because he wants me to investigate?"

"Ha ha……"

Yujun smiled with a fake smile,

Afterwards, she sighed and said, "Greed for land? I'm afraid no one can avoid it. But I must point out that the human race's proposal is for joint development, not for the transfer of land."

Li Qingcha spread his hands.

"Why don't you say that Yujun is the maid who calms down~"

"You...are so weird!"

"Ha ha……"

Li Qingcha responded with the same fake smile.

Then, she said, "I think if I send this document to King Zuo, he will definitely agree to it in a rush. After all, your warriors are very arrogant and believe that the human territory is your hunting ground. Now there is such a good thing. In their eyes, it is a good opportunity to fight for territory, although it is ostensibly for joint development."

Yujun didn't say a word.

She knew that what Li Qingcha said was right.

If this document is presented to the Zuo King, he will consider how many soldiers to station at the Zhaolu River that day.

Of course, the human race will definitely send the same number of soldiers, but in the eyes of those arrogant nobles of the Holy Kingdom, these soldiers are not worth mentioning at all, and are just fat meat at their fingertips.

Although the battle will eventually break out, the Zhaolu River will become a deserted battlefield.

But it was definitely the human race who took the initiative to tear up the treaty, because the nobles of the Holy Kingdom firmly believed that their soldiers could achieve actual control over the Zhaolu River and there was no need to provoke a war.

The question is, is it really so?

Not to mention whether the combat power of human soldiers is definitely weaker than that of the Holy Kingdom, even if it is indeed a little weaker, it is difficult to complete the governance of an area with military power alone.

In terms of long-term stability, the human race is much better than the Holy Kingdom.

Under the subtle influence, it is hard to say who governs whom and who actually controls whom.

Yujun couldn't help but grit her teeth.

"Master Li, since you can't discuss anything with me, you're threatening instead?"

Li Qingcha sighed.

"Ah... Threat? That's too harsh, maid. You know I always advocate solving problems through dialogue. Keeping calm is the most important thing. How can I threaten you?"
