Chapter 333 I don’t know if he can live to that time

[I don't know if my father can accept my eldest brother's behavior. 】

Lu Li muttered to herself.

When Lu Yanshi heard that it concerned his eldest son, he became extremely anxious.

How is your eldest brother? Tell me!

[My eldest brother is actually in love with a foreigner! 】

[She even lost her virginity to someone else. 】

[Eh, is this their princess? ]

[Then isn't the eldest brother going to be someone else's consort? ]

Lu Li was a little worried, wondering whether her father could accept this bad news.

Lu Yanshi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

It's just a small matter.

Xiaojiu really underestimated his ability to accept things.

Even the son of the spider spirit can be his son-in-law, so what is a mere foreign daughter-in-law?

Anyway, Jing'er doesn't want to inherit the throne, so it's a good idea to have a marriage.

I just don’t know which country’s princess he loves or how strong that country is.

If Da Xia wasn't as strong, we could just annex it.

If he is strong enough, he can become a royal consort.

Even those stubborn old men in the court might oppose it.

After all, they really believed that foreigners were enemies from thousands of years ago.

Thinking of those ministers, Lu Yanshi frowned slightly.

[Forget it, let’s not tell Father yet. ]

【Wait until the time comes, let Big Brother tell you himself.】

Lu Li secretly glanced at her father, fearing that he could not withstand the blow, so she kindly decided to keep the matter secret.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Yanshi didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he started thinking about more things.

If they conquer foreign countries in the future and their people intermarry, will these people be considered as their people of Da Xia? Will it confuse the bloodline of Da Xia?

After Lu Li fell asleep, Lu Yanshi went to find Qu Fufeng to discuss this issue.

"Marrying a foreigner?" Qu Fufeng was stunned. He didn't expect that the emperor had considered it so far.

"Have you encountered such a situation in your future?" Lu Yanshi wanted to hear some suggestions from the future.

"Yes, this situation is very common. The children they give birth to are called mixed-race children, and they are still very cute." Qu Fufeng nodded.

"When they grow up and find that they look different from others, will they still feel that they are from your country?" This is the question that Lu Yanshi is most curious about.

"Of course. They grew up in China, were born under the red flag, and learned the Chinese language and characters. Of course they think of themselves as Chinese." Qu Fufeng answered without hesitation.

"Sometimes, race and skin color don't mean anything. Some people look Chinese, but they are actually traitors and spies who betray the country."

Qu Fufeng was very dissatisfied when he mentioned those "500,000 walking people".

They are obviously Chinese, but they help foreigners to steal China's culture, steal China's research results, and destroy China's development.

"What if I conquer them and make them belong to Daxia directly? What do you think? In this way, everyone from adults to children will learn Daxia language and Daxia characters. Isn't it better?" Lu Yanshi asked for his opinion seriously.

"Your Majesty, the most we can do is conquer the surrounding countries. Even if we conquer other countries on the other side of the earth, it will be difficult to manage them given Daxia's current level of development. If they want to rebel, we will be powerless and won't be able to get there in time to control the situation." Qu Fufeng told the truth.

"Alas." Lu Yanshi sighed.

“There are still too few people.”

If there are enough people in Daxia, we can send soldiers directly to various countries and suppress them by force. I don't believe those foreigners will dare to rebel.

"Yes, there are too few people." Qu Fufeng nodded.

The current population of Daxia is far less than the hundreds of millions in later generations.

Global unification is indeed a bit unrealistic.

But it is still possible to unify the surrounding countries, establish diplomatic relations with countries on the other side of the earth, build embassies there, seek reliable allies, and make Bactria a global common language.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time." Lu Yanshi silently took out his little notebook and added some things to it.

In addition to the gossip about court officials that I heard from Xiaojiu, there are many other problems that need to be solved.

For example, railroad tracks, steam trains, and muskets have not yet been developed.

The road for Daxia to become the global hegemon is still very long.

Lu Yanshi returned to the carriage and couldn't help feeling anxious.

I don't know if he can live to that time.

His depressed look immediately subsided after Lu Li woke up, for he was afraid that Lu Li would find out that something was wrong with him and use the gossip system to find out what he and Qu Fufeng talked about.

"Dad, are we there yet?" Lu Li sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"It should be soon." Lu Yanshi opened the car curtain and took a look outside.

They were approaching a nearby village.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the leader Meng Shanchuan pulled the reins and stopped his horse.

In order to avoid being discovered by people like Ye Hongliu, Lu Yanshi and others deliberately took a more remote mountain road.

After walking for such a long time, we finally saw a small village.

"Fourth Master, let's move on." Not long after, Meng Shanchuan came running to report. Lu Yanshi thought that he had reached an agreement with the villagers and could stay overnight, but he didn't expect to hear them advising him to leave.

"Is there any problem here?" Lu Yanshi asked.

Meng Shanchuan hesitated for a moment and said, "There seems to be something wrong with the children here."

【Let me see what happened. 】

[There are no ghosts, monsters, or bad guys. ]

[I don't see any melons, why does Uncle Meng say something is wrong. 】

After opening the melon-eating system, Lu Li found nothing and felt confused for the first time.

She bit her finger and fell into thought.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that his daughter had not been found out, Lu Yanshi became alert.

He touched the holy silver wolf tooth pendant on his chest and found that it had not changed color, which made him feel a little relieved.

It doesn't look like there are any demons or monsters causing trouble.

After thinking for a moment, Meng Shanchuan hesitantly expressed his guess.

"The children here seem to be thin and pale. Among them is a girl of five or six years old, whose belly is as swollen as a woman in her seventh month of pregnancy. I dare not let the Ninth Princess and Master Xuan take the risk."

"A young child looks like a pregnant woman?" Lu Yanshi had never seen such a strange sight before.

Besides, the ones who had problems were children, so he really didn't dare to let his daughter take the risk.

"Withdraw and station ten miles away. Take your men to see if there are any similar situations in the nearby villages." He gave the order immediately.

"Yes, I obey your command." Meng Shanchuan responded and immediately led people to search.

Lu Yanshi called Qu Fufeng and asked him if he had ever seen such a situation.

Under Lu Qi's protection, Qu Fufeng carefully went to the village to investigate. After questioning several children, he came back with a frown on his face.

"Don't drink the water here."

He quickly stopped the guard who was about to drink from the water.

"What exactly is going on?" Lu Yanshi was worried.

Is there something poisonous in the water?
