"Good question!" Xiao Letian couldn't help but applaud. No matter whether Xiang Ying was a fanatical militarist or not, it is undeniable that this kid is just smart and analyzing the problem is profound.

Among the second-generation disciples, Zai Chun is indeed much worse than him. Of course, there are also age factors here. If Zai Chun meets someone who understands and sincerely helps him, his ability will not be much worse than Xiang Ying in the future.

I'm afraid history won't give Zai Chun too much time!

"Xiang Ying, your question is the most confusing thing. Many people are confused by this argument... Remember, when our Chinese people become stronger in the future, there will definitely be Western politicians, experts and scholars to promote this argument to you!"

"Yes! How far can renewable resources develop? This is mainly based on the analysis of human beings' utilization rate of land. It is obvious that human beings' utilization rate of land on the earth is still very low, which means that the renewable resources provided by animals and plants are far from reaching the limit!"

"The second point is non-renewable resources. With the continuous increase in human technology, output is destined to increase significantly! This can be seen from the development of human mining technology!"

"In ancient times, humans only rely on human and animal power to dig mining. In the deep mine cave, mortals needed to use their hands and iron picks to knock and dig, but what about now?"

"Mr. Nobel's safety explosives have increased the efficiency of human mining by hundreds of times. The amount of ore obtained after a bundle of explosives is probably more than the amount of miners who work in a month!"

"There are also the most advanced blast furnace steelmaking method, especially our American partner Carnegie Steel Company, which can produce more than the Qing Dynasty in a whole year..."

"Do you know why the international silver price has fallen sharply in the past fifty years? Why do Britain, France and the United States have to adopt the gold standard? To put it bluntly, the efficiency of silver mining has been greatly improved, which has led to the strange phenomenon of global silver flowing to Asia..."

"The potential of land has not been drained yet, and the support of technology is still soaring. In other words, the base of 100 I just assumed is actually rising every year, and the total amount of resources available to humans is constantly increasing..."

"Hahaha..." Xiao Letian laughed loudly, "How wonderful all this looks! It seems that life like heaven is waiting for us in the future! It seems that in another hundred years, all humans on the entire earth can live the same happy life as the British?"

"Xiang Ying, isn't this the only doubt you have? If the total annual resource volume increases from 100 to 1,000 or even to 10,000, then won't humans solve the distribution problem?"

"I will summarize your question in one sentence, that is, productivity ultimately determines the distribution model!"

"Confused! shallow! Taken for granted, self-righteous!" Xiao Letian roared and frightened the person sitting. Everyone sat upright and didn't know where Xiao Letian was crazy.

"Let me refute this fallacy one by one! First of all, you don't count the data on population growth at all... Let me ask you, has the population on the earth not increased?"

"Let's talk about the entire earth for now. Let's talk about the Qing Dynasty. During the Xianfeng period, the population statistics reached 300 million. In a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom war, I'm afraid there will be no less than 60 to 70 million people who died, right?"

"Even if we have 250 million people, so many people are hungry for food, people in China will starve to death every day! So what should we do if China has a population of more than 800 million? What should we do if it exceeds one billion!"

"Impossible!" With a bang, the cabin was completely exploded. Wang Junlan, who was so unlucky, broke another pen. He was shocked by the head of state.

One billion? This is an astronomical figure that ancient people could not imagine at all! In ancient China, as long as the population exceeds 50 million, it would be an absolute peaceful and prosperous era. The Qing Dynasty was quite special. Due to the popularization of high-yield 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, the population of 200 million has already made Confucian scholars shout that they are prosperous. Today, the head of state is even more courageous and directly comes one billion.

Xiao Letian sneered and looked at the incredible people present. Suddenly a smug feeling came out in his heart. He shook his head and said, "Can't believe it? If I want me to say that as long as there is no war and as long as the Chinese can resist the enemy outside the country, then what is one billion, and 1.3 billion is fine..."

"Okay, let's not worry about whether we can reach this number. You just say that once the population expands rapidly, will this resource be enough?"

"Xiang Ying, what you said, can the total increase in resources brought about by digging deep into the potential of land and the improvement of technological power? Can it reach the gap brought about by population growth? It is worth discussing!"

"I can tell you with certainty that the next hundred years will be the era of a huge population explosion in human history. There may be wars and other reasons in the middle to cause a short-term decline in population numbers, but the overall trend will never change!"

"In a hundred years, humans may give birth to the total population of the past thousand years!"

"Faced with such a population explosion, who dares to pin the hope of national resource security on land potential and technological growth? In the final analysis, we must exhaust all methods to plunder internationally, and use military or commercial methods to eat more and occupy more!"

"Now the British eat wheat from North America and Odessa, Ukraine, while our Chinese Industrial Zone eats rice from the South China Sea. Even one-quarter of the grain supply in Beijing is rice from overseas!"

"Did you forget all these? Do you think the rice prices in Sijiu City are stable because the grain merchants are good at ease? 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 ironclad evidence for my refutation of that fallacy! There is another second one below... What is it? That is war!"

"We Chinese people started by war. Everyone is familiar with war. We have come to a profound conclusion when studying military history. With the development of science and technology, the intensity of war is getting stronger and stronger, and the lethality and destructive power are getting stronger and stronger!"

"Ancient people can pass on a set of armor for a hundred years. A steel knife can be used after being rolled up and then polished. Therefore, as long as the ancient generals create an iron army, they can be used until they die!"
