"Good question!" Xiao Le
Among the second-generation disciples, Zai Chun is indeed much worse than him. Of course, there is also the factor of age. If Zai Chun meets someone who understands and sincerely supports him, his ability will not be much worse than Xiang Ying in the future.
I'm afraid history won't give Zaichun much time!
"Xiang Ying, your question is the most confusing. Many people are confused by this argument... Remember, after our Chinese nation becomes stronger in the future, there will definitely be Western politicians, experts, and scholars who will give advice. You promote this argument!"
"Yes! How far can renewable resources be developed? This is mainly based on the analysis of human beings' utilization of land. Obviously, the current utilization rate of human beings on the earth's land is still very low. In other words, what animals and plants provide Renewable resources are far from reaching their limits!”
"The second point is non-renewable resources. With the continuous improvement of human technology, the output is destined to increase greatly! This can be seen from the development of human mining technology!"
"In ancient times, humans only relied on manpower and animal power to excavate mineral deposits. Deep mines required ordinary people to use their hands and iron picks to tap and dig. But what about now?"
"Mr. Nobel's safety explosives have increased the efficiency of human mining hundreds of times. The ore obtained after the explosion of a bundle of explosives is probably more than the amount of hundreds of miners working in a month!"
"There is also the most advanced blast furnace steelmaking method, especially our American partner Carnegie Steel Company. The output in one month can exceed that of the Qing Dynasty in an entire year..."
"Do you know why the price of international silver has plummeted in the past fifty years? Why have the United Kingdom, France and the United States adopted the gold standard? To put it bluntly, the efficiency of silver mining has been greatly improved. This is why The strange phenomenon of global silver flowing to Asia..."
"The potential of the land has not yet been exhausted, and the blessing power of science and technology is still rising. In other words, the base number of 1oo that I just assumed is actually rising every year, and the total amount of resources available for human distribution is constantly increasing... …”
"Hahaha..." Xiao Letian laughed loudly, "How beautiful it all looks! It seems like a paradise-like life is waiting for us in the future! It seems that in a hundred years, all human beings on the entire earth will be able to live it. To live a happy life like the British?"
"Xiang Ying, isn't this what you're wondering about? If the total amount of resources per year suddenly increases from 1oo to 1000 or even to 1000, then wouldn't humans have solved the distribution problem?"
"I can sum up your problem in one sentence, that is, productivity ultimately determines the distribution model!"
"Confused! Shallow! You take it for granted!" Xiao Letian's low roar frightened the people sitting there. Everyone sat upright and didn't know what kind of madness Xiao Letian was.
"Let me refute this fallacy one by one! First of all, you didn't include the data on population growth... Let me ask you, isn't the earth's population growing?"
"Let's not talk about the whole earth, let's just talk about the Qing Dynasty. During the Xianfeng period, the population reached 300 million. In a Taiping War, I am afraid that no less than 60 to 70 million people died, right?"
"Let's assume there are 250 million people. With so many mouths crying for food, people in the country will starve to death every day! So what will happen if China's population one day exceeds 800 million? What if China's population exceeds one billion!"
"Impossible!" With a bang, the cabin completely exploded. Wang Junlan, the unlucky one, broke another pen. He was frightened by Yuan's words.
One billion? This is an astronomical figure that ancient people could not even imagine! As long as the population of ancient China exceeded 50 million, it would be an absolutely peaceful and prosperous age. The Qing Dynasty was special. Due to the popularization of high-yielding crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, the population in the middle of the Qing Dynasty exceeded 300 million.
Not to mention 300 million, a population of 200 million already made Confucian scholars clamor for the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong. Today, Yuan was bolder and came directly to a billion.
Xiao Letian sneered and looked at the disbelief of the people present. Suddenly, a feeling of elation came out of his heart. He shook his head and said, "Can't you believe it? As long as there is no war, as long as the Chinese can defend the enemy at the country's gate, Besides, then one billion is nothing, 1.3 billion is no problem..."
"Okay, let's not worry about whether we can reach this number. Just ask, once the population expands rapidly, will these resources be enough?"
"Xiang Ying, as you mentioned, can the increase in the total amount of resources brought about by deeply exploring land potential and improving technological capabilities be able to fill the gap caused by population growth? It is worth debating!"
"I can tell you with certainty that the next hundred years will be an era of population explosion in human history. There may be wars and other reasons that cause a short-term population decline, but the general trend will never change!"
“Within a hundred years, humans may have as many people as we have in the past thousand years!”
"In the face of such an era of population explosion, who dares to pin the hope of national resource security on land potential and technological growth? In the final analysis, we still have to use every method to plunder internationally, and use military or commercial methods to eat and occupy more !”
“Now the British eat wheat from the North American continent and Odessa, Ukraine, while our Chinese Industrial Zone eats rice from Nanyang. Even a quarter of Beijing’s food supply comes from overseas rice! "
"Have you forgotten all this? Do you think the stable rice price in Sijiu City is because the grain merchants are good-hearted? No, the most important thing is that the total supply has increased, so that the people can afford it!"
Xiao Letian coughed a few times and cleared his throat. "Population growth is just the first piece of ironclad evidence that I refute that fallacy! There is a second piece below...what is it? That is war!"
"Our Chinese nation relied on war to get its start. None of you here are unfamiliar with war. We have come to a profound conclusion by studying military history. With the development of science and technology, the intensity of war is getting stronger and more lethal and destructive. The power is getting stronger and stronger!"
"In ancient times, a set of armor could be passed down for hundreds of years, and a steel sword could be used again after being sharpened and sharpened. Therefore, as long as an ancient general built an iron army, he could use it until he died!"
"This is such an economical, environmentally friendly and frugal war model! But what about now? Humanity has completely entered the age of firearms. The destructive power of war is getting bigger and bigger, but the money burned is also getting more and more!"
