A long time ago, I had an idea.
One of the big problems of Yuxi City now is that it is limited by its territory, and many industries cannot be carried out on a large scale. And it is very difficult to acquire territory. To the north is Fangyuan, who needs his help to block the pressure from Zhaochen. Our side can only give him assistance, and it is unlikely to start a war with him. Can't beat it. Although Yunyang in the east is a good place to expand the territory, it must be relaxed and eroded continuously. Otherwise, if you start swallowing it too early, once the lord of Yunyang is determined to destroy us regardless of the outside world's opinion, the current Yuxi City will not be able to fight against it.
This situation seems to have room for development, but it is actually quite limited. The consequence of too small a territory is that once the population grows or the wealth gap widens, land conflicts will easily break out. And if the population is insufficient, there are not enough soldiers. Similarly, we must be extremely careful about the environmental pollution brought about by industrial development, and we must be restrained no matter what we do.
In this case, only the west is a way out.
To the west of Yuxi City is the vast territory of the demons, and if you don't go deep into the interior of the demons, most of the demons are just low-level demons. With our current strength, we are not too afraid. Alaya has reached the sixth level of perfection, and Felita may break through to the sixth level at any time. Hilo's assassination technique can be very useful, and Fang Shisan's army is also a powerful force that cannot be underestimated. Under such circumstances, it seems that it is not impossible to reclaim the territory of the demons.
The problem lies mainly in two aspects.
On the one hand, there is the pollution problem mentioned by Han Moye. The land of the demons is different from the land of humans, and the crops grown are completely different. Human crops cannot grow in it, and if people with insufficient strength live in the land of the demons for a long time, they will suffer from a strange disease that is a bit like sepsis but different from sepsis.
On the other hand, it is the threat from the demons. I know that the low-level demons are dominated by the high-level demons, especially those without intelligence. The reason why they can gather together to attack the human territory is precisely because the high-level demons control them to do so.
If these two problems can be solved, Yuxi City can transfer many industries to the Demon Race without being restricted by the land. Let me call this plan [Western Development], but in fact, because these two problems are difficult to solve, there is no chance for this plan to be implemented at present.
But now I vaguely see some possibilities, so I have to start preparing.
If the land can be contracted from the demons, there will be at least two benefits.
First of all, Yuxi City can expand its strength more unscrupulously. At least the food and grass problem of the army can be effectively solved, and then both He Yue and Fang Shisan will have more room to play.
Secondly, if both sides can obtain more abundant supplies than war through peaceful means, there will be no need to worry about the demons launching a large-scale war against Yuxi City for the time being. I don't expect to obtain permanent peace through this method, but I must buy enough time for Yuxi City to develop and grow.
But it doesn't look like it's going well—
"Master Lizard Ji...he hates humans very much."
The female charm frowned and said carefully:
"Different from Lord Gobron, Lord Lizardman Ji is an out-and-out racist. It has repeatedly proposed to strengthen the invasion of human territory, by encroaching on human territory, and compressing the living space of human beings. Because the west is the human defense The weakest point, whether it is Yunyang or Zhaochen, can be conquered with a little effort."
After the female charm finished speaking, she carefully added:
"Of course, now that the Lord City Lord is here, Lord Lizard Ji's plan can only fail."
I laughed it off.
I don't feel much for such flattery, and I've heard enough in my previous life.
On the contrary, I think there is nothing wrong with that lizard manji's point of view. Before I came, there was only one Fei Lita guarding Yuxi City, and the whole city was crumbling due to internal and external troubles. If the demons had spent a lot of effort at that time, they could have taken Yuxi City. Li Neng on the east side is also an embroidered pillow. Although he intends to use the Yuxi City as a barrier, once the Yuxi City is really breached, he will not be able to defend the demon army with his silver pewter spear head.
However, the superiors of Gobrang and Lirenji did not seem to adopt Lirenji's suggestion, but sent Gobrang to take charge of the battle against Yuxi City, and did not invest a large number of demon regular troops on the frontal battlefield with humans.
"Then if I try to trade with him..."
Facing my probing question, the female charm and the demon boy shook their heads at the same time.
Demon Man said:
"My lord, with all due respect. It is absolutely impossible for the lizard man Ji to agree to a deal with humans, or even to meet you alone... If it proposes such an idea, it is undoubtedly a trap."
"Impossible?"
"Yes, my lord, it's impossible."
I didn't ask any more questions.
There is no real [impossible] in the world. The demons have been fighting each other since birth, and they are still living in serious civil strife. Given enough conditions, don't worry that he won't take the bait.
If it is really a rare hard bone, just find a way to kill it. There will always be smart demons who choose to cooperate. I have enough patience to wait.
But there is no need to talk about these with the succubus combination. After the question was almost finished, I gave the female charm and the demon man a gold coin each, but neither of them took it, but said with some embarrassment:
"My lord, we want to do some business in Yuxi City."
The fact that demons are doing business on the human realm is a bit unexpected to me.
"Business? What are you two going to do?"
The devil explained:
"We have been observing in Yuxi City for a while, and we also found out that Yuxi City and Tiebi City have opened a brothel respectively. But the girls there charge a relatively high price, which is difficult for ordinary people to enjoy. We want to open a [Succubus Hall] in Yuxi City ], because we can change the dreams of human beings to a certain extent, so we can let them have some more realistic dreams at a low price. It doesn’t matter if you make money or not. Please don't cause trouble, my lord."
After the demon man finished speaking, the female charm quickly added:
"Although the city lord once said that we would not let us take action against the people of Yuxi City, according to our observations, many men in Yuxi City have excess energy, and there is no way to solve it, so we have to solve it ourselves. We hope that through this method , resulting in a mutually beneficial situation. We have thought that for those who enter the [Succubus Hall], we will measure his energy condition, and only when the energy is overflowing, can we accept the service of the Succubus Hall. In this way It will not affect the daily life of the people, and as for the money we earn, we can give it to the city lord for every copper coin."
After she finished speaking, she also lowered her head, carefully waiting for my answer.
