Chapter 499: Settling the Qila People

"Our Kong Kong is so noble, forget it, you don't understand!"

Yao Li was inexplicably hit by an arrow in the leg.

Ouyang Kong was quite pleased with his wife's sincere evaluation. He sat even more politely and looked at Yao Li as if asking, "Do you know what nobility means? This is it!"

Yao Li doesn't talk nonsense about this.

"Just tell me, is it a good thing or a bad thing to include the Qila people in the alliance's territory?"

"Why do you have to ask me this?"

Meng didn't want to be involved in this kind of thing. What if Yao Li used her words to make a fuss to Ouyang Kong? She couldn't let her husband down.

I have to say, the dream came true, that’s what Yao Li thinks now.

Since Meng Ke had guessed it, he no longer concealed it.

"That's right! I just have a disagreement with your husband, and I want to hear your opinion."

"Oh! I see! Wait a minute, I'll look up information about the Kira people."

Meng Ke not only asked Xiao Xingyun and Zhu Jie to investigate together, but also secretly asked Ouyang Kong for his opinion.

Ouyang Kong was quite satisfied with Meng Ke's approach of negotiating.

I told her secretly, "The Qila people originally didn't have human characteristics. Later, someone secretly cooperated with them and sold them human genes. They then merged with human genes and acquired human characteristics. After thousands of years of evolution, they are no different from humans except that they each have a tail."

"Yao Li wants to help the Qila people mainly because one of his men was accidentally saved by this race. I think he lacks consideration."

Meng Ke subconsciously felt that this was not the real reason why Ouyang Kong objected.

Sure enough, Ouyang Kong's next words confirmed this.

"The Qila people are docile and weak in combat. Besides eating, their biggest hobby is sleeping."

Meng Ke thought of the national treasure from his previous life.

“This kind of ethnic group inclusion in the alliance is a waste of taxpayers’ money.”

Soon, Meng Ke received feedback from Zhu Jie and Xiao Xingyun. The general idea was similar, except that Xiao Xingyun had an additional sentence: the Qila people love cleanliness very much, and everyone has a portable cleaning device, even the little Qila people who have just become sensible are no exception.

"How's it going? Have you checked it out?"

Yao Li urged. Although it was not a formal meeting, the discussion among several members could not take too long.

"I've checked! How do you want to deal with them? The information I have shows that they have arrogant temperaments and their intelligence is no different from that of humans. They can't be kept as pets."

But if you don't treat it as a pet, who would want to keep such a living ancestor, since it's not your biological mother.

"Didn't I tell you last time? I have a foundation, and I want to include them in it."

Meng Ke rubbed his forehead and said, "No way! You want to raise an entire race by yourself? Do you have a grudge against them?"

Yao Li is a member of parliament, so his IQ is naturally very high and he understood Meng Ke’s meaning in seconds.

"I don't intend to support them all, nor do I intend to help everyone. I will only help the Qila people who need help."

"I didn't expect you to be such an idealist. With food and drink readily available, and considering the Qila people's preference for cleanliness over hard work, I guarantee that within a month, everyone will be lying low thanks to you."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

“Let them be self-sufficient.”

"They definitely won't be able to adapt to human society."

It’s not that he hadn’t thought about what Meng Ke said, but it was not suitable for the free-spirited Qila people.

"If human society isn't suitable, then we'll create one for them. I'm kindly reminding you not to take on too much."

"Tell me about it in detail."

Yao Li really wanted to know how Meng Ke was going to deal with it.

Meng Ke didn't have any specific ideas, just a general idea.

"Have you heard of the Ancient Style Street on Ancient Blue Star?"

"No."

Meng Ke: “There’s no way to talk about it.”

Yao Li: "Tell me about it briefly."

"In a high-tech city, we take a street and transform it so that everything from the street architecture to the vendors' clothing, including the goods they sell, and even all the tourists entering the street, conforms to the ancient style of a specific period. In short, the goal is to create an immersive feeling."

Yao Li frowned: "You want to build a zoo and let the Qila people work in it?"

It would be better to take them in and give them a transition period. Maybe the Qila people can adapt to human society.

Meng Ke shook her head: "Of course not. Building a zoo is too low-end. We have to worry about taking care of it. Why waste the god? Let them take care of it themselves."

"They won't!"

It’s not that Yao Li looks down on the Qila people, they are just really no good.

The Qila people are just like humans who developed airplanes and cannons for hundreds of years, but one day discovered that there are still humans living a leisurely indigenous life in the deep mountains and forests, and are seriously out of touch with the interstellar high-tech society.

Meng Ke had seen the information and of course knew this.

"You'd better not give them charity during the transition period. If I'm not mistaken, you plan to send their children to study in the Alliance, right?"

"Ok!"

Yao Li has already made up his mind. If this proposal cannot be passed, he will first enroll the children of the Qila people in the alliance school. When the new generation emerges, the Qila people will be able to slowly connect with the interstellar world, albeit at a slower pace. Otherwise, he would not have to look for that bastard Ouyang Kong in private.

"I have a way to give them a higher starting point. It all depends on whether you are ruthless enough."

"What method?"

Yao Li sat upright, very interested in Meng Ke's method.

"As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction. Their habits are too lazy, which is not good. But if we let the alliance take charge, we are worried that they will become angry and retaliate after a long period of resentment."

"so?"

Yao Li stared at Meng Ke and waited for what was to come.

"So let them take care of themselves. Don't interfere in anything. Just remind them when they need help, but don't give them help directly. Wait until they come to your rescue before you make any demands. In short, you can't let them get something for nothing and still have them taste the sweetness."

"I've read that the Qila people only care about two things: sleep, and cleanliness. I imagine a clean and dust-free environment comes at a cost, right? After living in such a clean environment, would they tolerate returning to a dirty and messy one due to poverty?"

"The Qila people clean their own homes."

Yao Li has a think tank behind him, how could he not have thought of this.

"This is not enough. Help them improve their living standards. I believe they can endure more for the sake of their living environment."

"and then?"

"Then I'll build a quiet, clean and tidy Qila planet for them to live in. They only need to pay rent. How about that?"

"Not really, I can do these too."

Meng Ke shook her head: "No! Only I can do this. Oh! Maybe Mr. Ouyang Xun can do it too."

Yao Li thought about Meng Ke upgrading Meng Xing, and his eyes lit up: "You want to build a planet with low radiation and migrate the Qila people there."

"Yeah! Are you happy?"

"What are your conditions?"

He didn't believe Meng Ke was so kind.

Meng Ke is definitely not doing charity.

"I want to turn this planet into a tourist destination, and the Qila people will be both managers and participants. You must make them work wholeheartedly, and all costs will be covered by the Alliance."

"So you're getting something for nothing!"

Yao Li was speechless. He thought he was calculating enough, but Meng Ke was even more calculating than him.

Meng Ke: "Just tell me whether you agree or not?"

She was confident that Yao Li would agree, and even if Yao Li didn't agree, the alliance would make him agree.

Why? Because planets with low radiation levels are too valuable. If the Qila people don't know what's good for them, a lot of Alliance members will want to move in.

You have to know that in the current alliance, there are still countless people living on planets with high radiation.

Meng is not the only one who favors outsiders. The number of Qila people is small, and the people of the Alliance will ultimately benefit the most from the residential planet developed with this as a gimmick.

"You just said you wanted to create a tourist star. What are its characteristics?"

The people on Ouyang Kong's side no longer objected and asked questions following the thread of conversation between the two.

Meng Ke: "Didn't I tell you? We can follow the idea of ​​the Ancient Street. The people of Qila Star can continue to live the same way they did on the new planet. The only difference is that they have to be professional and polite to tourists."

Yao Li: "So what you said earlier about providing them with a cleaner and tidier environment was just a way to get them to bow down for a few dollars."

"You're good at ancient studies, so that's probably what you mean. But if you have a better way to get them to agree, that's fine too."

Yao Li ignored her nonsense. Is it so easy to change the habits of a race?

However, the method Meng Ke mentioned is indeed feasible, and he is ready to give it a try.

Another MP asked, "You mentioned earlier that you wanted to give them a higher starting point in the alliance. Could you elaborate on this?"

"Imagine your classmate's family, living comfortably on the Alliance's support, would you despise them? If they could overcome their racial norms and become self-reliant, would you look up to them? If you knew your classmate's family was home to the interstellar-renowned Qila Planet, would you be envious? And if you later discovered that Qila Planet was built by their parents, and that your classmate even had a hand in it, would you be shocked and impressed?"

Yao Li perked up: "You want the Qila people to join you in building Qila Planet?"

"No!"

Yao Li frowned, and Meng Ke corrected him, "They didn't build it with me, they built it on their own. I was just helping out. Oh, and it wasn't free. They had to pay me. I agreed to let them pay in installments, but they had to pay interest."

Yao Li: Could you be more cost-effective?

"Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to build a Kira planet, let the Kira people live there, and then collect rent from them?"

The congressman felt that Meng Ke’s ideas were unclear and somewhat incoherent.

Meng Ke's thoughts weren't entirely coherent, but she seemed to be thinking clearly: "I think you've misunderstood one thing. The planet belongs to the Alliance. I've said from the beginning that all costs will be covered by the Alliance, so the planet's ownership by the Alliance won't change."

What a joke! No matter how few the Qila people are, they are still foreigners. Who would dare to bring them under private ownership? Isn't that just looking for trouble?

As for Yao Li, well! If we don't pay attention to this kind of person, it will be difficult for him to have a good ending.

In any case, she didn't want this congressman who cared about the general public to fall, so she helped him in a way that Yao Li didn't notice.

Does Yao Li really not understand?

not necessarily!

He just had too much on his shoulders and had long since let it go. He just wanted to do everything with a clear conscience.

However, he took note of Meng Ke's protection.

"As for planetary management, I suggest letting the Qila people handle it themselves. Of course, they have no experience in planetary management, nor do they have the ability to operate a planet. They will need the Alliance's help in all of this. Remember! It's about help. It's the Qila people who are actively asking the Alliance to intervene. This is very important."

Ouyang Kong narrowed his eyes. Meng Ke proposed another way of interacting with foreign races, a friendly and win-win approach.

This is easy to say but difficult to implement.

Before the Qila people, the alliance had also incorporated many races, large and small. As time went on, friction was inevitable, and the alliance even had to send troops to suppress them.

"In fact, there are also people in the race who are willing to destroy the bridge after crossing it. How can you guarantee that the Qila people will not do the same?"

As soon as Meng Ke heard it, she knew it was the voice of her dear husband.

However, she pretended not to hear, cleared her throat, and said, "They can't fight. The Alliance is protecting them. If they don't want it, then just leave. It just so happens that low-radiation balls are rare for us in the Alliance."

After saying that, Meng Ke added, "If they hadn't saved Councillor Yao's people, who would care about their lives? A weak and lazy race, yet they still want to rebel against the heavens? Ha! I'm waiting!"

Yao Li: "I feel like I'm pretty influential."

Meng Ke didn't want her husband to misunderstand her, so she quickly clarified: "I'm just doing it for the money, you'd better forget it."

"What do you mean?"

Do you want him to give you money? No money! One person, do you want it?
