C2026 heresy

"Good question!" Xiao Letian couldn't help but clap his hands. It didn't matter if Xiang Ying was a crazy militarist or not, but no one could deny that he was a smart guy.

Of the second generation of disciples, Zai Chun was indeed much weaker than him. Of course, there was also the age factor here.

This might not give Zai Chun too much time!

"Xiang Ying, your question is the most confusing thing, a lot of people are confused by this kind of reasoning … Remember, when we become stronger in the future, there will definitely be Western politicians, experts, and scholars who will give you this kind of talk! "

"That's right!" To what extent can renewable resources develop? This is mainly related to the analysis of the land use rate by humans. Clearly, the land use rate by humans is still very low, which means that the renewable resources provided by animals and plants are still far from reaching the limit! "

"The second point is that it's a non-renewable resource. With the rise of human technology, the production rate is bound to increase greatly!" This point can be seen from the development of human mining technology! "

"In ancient times, humans only relied on manpower and animal power to mine the mines. The deep mines required mortals to use their hands and pickaxes to dig. What about now?"

"Mr. Nuo Beier's safety explosives have increased the efficiency of human mining by hundreds of times. The amount of ores obtained from a bunch of explosives is probably more than what hundreds of miners would get in a month!"

"There's also the most advanced steelmaking method for blast furnaces. Especially our American partner, Carnegie Steel, it can produce more than one year in a single month …"

"Do you know why the price of international silver has plummeted in the last fifty years? Why should the United Kingdom, France and the United States adopt a gold standard? "To put it bluntly, the efficiency of mining the silver ore has increased tremendously. This is why the global flow of silver ore to Asia …"

"The potential of the land has not been squeezed dry yet, and the supporting powers of technology are still increasing. That is to say, the base of 100 that I have just assumed is rising every year, and the total resources available to humanity is increasing …"

"Hahaha …" Xiao Letian laughed loudly, "How beautiful all of this looks! It's like a life in heaven is waiting for us in the future! It seems that in another hundred years, all the humans on earth will be able to live a happy life like the British? "

"Xiang Ying, isn't this what you're wondering? If the total resources per year were to rise from 100 to 1000 or even 10000, wouldn't humanity be able to solve the problem of allocation? "

"Your problem, I will summarize it with a sentence, is that productivity ultimately determines the pattern of distribution!"

"Foolish! Shallow! "Of course it's self-righteous!" Xiao Letian's low roar scared everyone who was sitting down, and they all sat up straight, not knowing what Xiao Letian had done to them.

"Let me refute this perverse argument one by one! First of all, you don't count the population growth figures at all... Let me ask you, isn't the population of Earth growing? "

"Forget about the entire Earth, just the Great Qing alone, Xian Feng's population has already reached three hundred million. In a war between Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, I'm afraid no less than sixty to seventy million people have died, right?"

"Even if we have 250 million people, with so many mouths waiting to be fed, there are people who starve to death in the country every day! So one day, China's population will exceed 800 million? What if it exceeds 1 billion? "

"Impossible!" With a boom, the entire cabin completely blew up. Wang Junlan who was so unlucky as to break another pen, was completely shocked by the Leader's words.

A billion? This was an astronomical figure that the Paleogene could not even imagine! As long as the population of the Ancient China exceeded 50 million, it would be a peaceful and prosperous era. The Qing Dynasty was rather special, because of the popularization of corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other high-yielding crops, it had a population of 300 million.

Let alone three hundred million, the two hundred million people already made the Confucian Scholars rave that Kang Gan was flourishing, and today, the leader had even more courage than before and directly used a billion.

Xiao Letian laughed coldly as he looked at the people present in disbelief, his heart suddenly surging with a feeling of complacency, he shook his head and said, "Can't believe it? "I say that as long as there is no war, as long as the Chinese can keep the enemy at bay, then one billion is not a problem. One billion three hundred million is not a problem …"

"Enough, let's not worry about whether we can reach this number. Tell me, once the population rapidly expands, will we still be able to obtain enough resources?"

"Xiang Ying, you said that the increase in the total amount of resources brought about by the increase in the potential of digging deep into the soil and the power of science and technology, will it be able to overcome the gap brought about by the growth of the population? It's worth discussing! "

"I can tell you for sure that the next hundred years will be the era of the great population explosion." I can tell for sure that the next hundred years will be the era of the great population explosion.

"Within a hundred years, mankind might give birth to the combined population of the past thousand years!"

"In the face of such an era of population explosion, who would dare place their hopes of national resource security on land potential and technological growth? "At the end of the day, we still have to do everything we can to rob the world, eating and seizing as much as we can in military or commercial ways!"

"Right now, the British are eating wheat from the North America Continent and Ukraine's Odessa, while we Chinese eat rice from the Southern Ocean. Even the Beijing's food supply is a quarter of the overseas rice!"

"Have you forgotten all this? Do you think the reason the price of Beijing rice is so stable is because the grain merchants are so kind? That's not right, the most important thing is that the total supply has increased, which is how the citizens are able to afford it! "

Xiao Letian coughed a few times before clearing his throat, "The growth of the population is just my first ironclad proof to refute that perverted logic! There's a second one below... What is it? That is war! "

"We Chinese started with war, and you all are familiar with war. We have reached a profound conclusion from studying military history. With the development of science and technology, the intensity of war becomes more and more intense, and its destructive power and destructive power also increases!"

"Paleogene's armor can be passed down for a hundred years. A steel blade can still be used after being sharpened. That's why the ancient generals only need to forge an iron army before they can use it until they die!"

"What an economic, environmental and economical way to fight this war! But now? Humanity has completely entered the era of firearms. The destructive power of war is getting greater and greater, but the amount of money they burn is also increasing! "
