Chapter 375 Where is the upper limit of human beings?
‘The emperor in front of him is so amazing! He can see through everything!’
George Lee was thinking this way at this moment. He was really angry. God is so unfair. Why did he give Clint Lee a good mind?
In fact, this is just a matter of being hit by the gun, because Li Mengyang recently saw the "Yellow Peril Map" created by Germany, and the "Yellow Peril Theory" promoted by Bakuning, so he naturally thought of it.
George Lee's logic is very simple, and he said it very clearly. When the Chinese grow up, they will replace the whites. If this situation, that is, the situation on the ship San Francisco, isn't it okay to do it on the entire American land?
Yes, you see, there is an emperor in America now, and this emperor is a Chinese. So won’t the situation on the Saint Francisco be easily promoted to all parts of America?
The real version of Huang Peril is here, so George Li thought of killing the emperor Clint Li!
This is the only reason, otherwise why would a gentleman kill his future brother-in-law?
Obviously, in George Lee's heart, he should feel that he is doing the right thing, a righteous thing, and is beneficial to white people in the United States!
"Mr. George Li, can I ask who told you about these things?" Li Mengyang's words rang again. At this time, he was already sure to win. He didn't even point the gun.
"I can't tell you this... I can't tell you." George Lee shook his head.
"Hey, he is hurting you!" Li Mengyang sighed.
"..." George Lee is very stubborn and just doesn't say it.
"Forget it. You don't believe it. I'll just briefly explain the truth to you." Li Mengyang, the guy, said, and smiled at Eleanor. This was simply...
Still flirting at such moments?
Of course not, this is comforting others. Look, I have done it all. Don’t worry...Oh!
Eleanor's response was to pinch Li Mengyang, but at this time he held back. Li Mengyang said: "This theory is completely nonsense. I won't tell you about advanced things. Just give me something you must know. Do you know how big the territory of America is now?"
"..." This data is really hard to say how big it is now, because the territory of the United States is constantly changing, and some scholars have measured it, but there are many debates. Therefore, even though George Lee has received elite education, he does not have a specific number.
But however, Li Mengyang said, "It's about the same size as my motherland. China!"
Oh yes! This data is very correct. Even if it is accurately measured in later generations, it is indeed the case.
Then why say this?
"Mr. George Li. Do you know how many people there are in China?" Li Mengyang smiled.
"Ah..." George Lee didn't know how to answer with a long mouth!
Why can't I answer it?
Because the answer is very obvious, everyone knows that the Qing court shouted forty million all day long!
And not only is this answer, but the whole question of Huang Peril has actually already answered it!
Simply put, we are now 400 million Chinese. How many people are there in America, which has a territory similar to that in China?
It's 40 million people!
So China can accommodate 400 million people. What? Can't the United States install it?
So, with just such a very simple data comparison, you can smash the Yellow Peril Theory!
In fact, this is not Li Mengyang’s cleverness, nor is it because he takes tricks, but because many people think they are very smart, and they always want to complicate the problem. Because if it is complicated, there will be a lot of operational space... In short, it can easily fool others.
This principle is common in the world. For example, a liar. One of the most basic skills of a liar is that you must be good at oral activities. Only by being good at oral activities can you deceive people. A good manifestation of a good oral activity is that you can say it. Isn’t it just that you can say too much?
Therefore, complicating simple problems is to fool people. If anyone keeps circumcising on a simple matter, then he is fooling people, it's that simple...
The Yellow Peril Theory is actually a typical example. Some European individuals have to put a gorgeous coat on this discriminatory theory. They are actually just trying to fool people!
"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't say who instigated you, but I can also convince you from some individual theories, that is, the number of humans is the limit? Is it really as Malthus said? From a historical perspective, how many famines have humans been through? How many people have starved to death? But how many humans are there now? Is there a decrease? Are there fewer white people than before? No! And even if they compare us Chinese to viruses, don't you know that Europe has experienced the Black Death? But are Europeans extinct? The population is still more than before?..." Very well, Li Mengyang launched anti-brainwashing!
Obviously, my future brother-in-law was brainwashed, it was that simple, so let's wash it back.
"..." George Lee was a little disdainful from the beginning, but then he was sweating profusely.
Regarding this argument, Huang Peril, discrimination, population limit... Li Mengyang, a time traveler, knows too much more than George Li, because his subject is actually sociological, that is, Marx and Engels, are actually sociologists.
Of course, sociology needs to study population. So where is the upper limit of human population and various resources issues?
The simple, correct conclusion is that we don’t know where the upper limit of human beings is yet!
Why?
Because of the resources that humans can use. This thing itself has something to do with one thing, which is the degree of human knowledge development!
Let’s talk about the current example. Did anyone know how to use oil decades ago?
A little further away, did anyone know how to use coal thousands of years ago?
Go farther away, did anyone know how to use fire tens of thousands of years ago? What is the use of drilling wood to make fire?
All the resources that humans can use to maintain human survival are actually directly related to our knowledge. When our knowledge develops to a point, what kind of resources can we use. Maybe what we see today is waste, but maybe that thing will be valuable tomorrow!
So the upper limit of the population. At least, as mentioned in Malthus's "Popularity Theory", it is nonsense. We humans don't know where our upper limit is, because we don't know how far our knowledge will develop.
Of course, George Lee, even Robert Lee, Eleanor Lee, and even Darwin, they won’t understand these principles now, because the knowledge has not yet developed to this point, and most of the things that humans can see are tragedies, but since Li Mengyang knows, he will explain to George Lee in vivid language, and the conscious impact that these concepts that transcend the contemporary era can cause is simply a big idea, so...
"Wuwuwuwuwuwu...what did I do! I was possessed by the devil..." George Li was crying when Li Mengyang said!
Needless to say, this very unexpected assassination was about to become a family, and it was finally declared that it was a failure. In the room, Robert Lee and Eleanor, they would come over to comfort George Lee.
"My child, you almost did something wrong that shamed our family! And you almost ruined your sister's happiness!... Hurry! Go and apologize to Mr. Clint Lee!" Robert Lee was really a polite gentleman.
"Brother. I thought you would make me lose you and Clint..." Eleanor's words were very meaningful.
"Sorry! Please forgive me..." George Lee knelt down at this time and begged everyone for forgiveness.
Facing George Li, who was crying and snotted, and his future brother-in-law, Li Mengyang was really in a mixed mood.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..." Li Mengyang must be very generous on this side, but...
It was so fucking thrilling just now!
That's a real gun pointed at me? I was pointed at me with a gun when I was on Mount San Juan. That... It's really a coincidence. It was also a Colt 1851 Navy revolver. I was simply a confrontation with this gun!
I was really angry. I was the emperor now!
However, Li Mengyang was only a little more generous. There was nothing he could do. This is his future brother-in-law.
"Clint, I..." Eleanor's little face was particularly bad-looking.
"It's okay! I haven't seen any scenes before? Do you know..." Li Mengyang is really good. He has the attitude of a good husband before he has a countryside.
But outside this room, a little further away...
"Hmm~Doduoduo..." In the middle of the night, General Nathan Forrest was still observing the open space in the telescope, but his teeth were fighting... "If it succeeds, there will be fire!"
Obviously, this matter was planned by Forrest, and because of his insufficient level and his persistence in slavery, he was not arranged to come in the Williamsburg negotiations. However, this guy is really an extremely hardcore slavery advocate!
That's right, as long as George Lee assassinates the emperor Clint Lee, there will be fire in the open space in the telescope, and then he will lead the cavalry to kill him... No matter what the south will happen, everyone will start a war in the future, but slavery in the south will definitely be maintained!
It can be said that for this purpose, Nathan Forrest used any means, and he did not consider the entire interests of the southerners, but obviously he also represented many people, namely those extremely stubborn slave owners.
This guy is very cruel. Who is he who killed him?
What Forrest wanted to take the Li family into a slap!
But now it seems that General Forrest's conspiracy was completely defeated by Li Mengyang. He probably wouldn't have dreamed that he lost to the emperor's verbal trick... (To be continued)
