There are two sides to everything, and nothing is perfect.

The reason why the people can make it happen, but the solution that cannot be known has been circulated for more than two years, naturally has its reason.

In a feudal society, what is the best standard of living for the common people?

It turned out to be the food and clothing line.

It sounds ridiculous, but isn't it good for the people to live and work in peace and contentment?

Yes, not good.

In fact, Wang Xuan himself understands this.

As for the reasons, there are many reasons, the first is that the land area is limited, and there is so much arable land, not all of which can be used to grow food, not to mention the problem of crop rotation, and cash crops such as mulberry, cotton, and hemp also need arable land, so the population that can be fed is limited after all.

When the limit is reached or approaching the limit, once there is a natural or man-made disaster, it will inevitably form a sweeping trend, and then it will be a catastrophe that will never be recovered, and there will be no eggs under the nest.

In ancient times, when there were no new food crops, chemical fertilizers, etc., the best way to continue the rule was to let the people live below the subsistence line, and hunger was the most effective way to control the population, otherwise, no empire could last more than 50 years.

Take the Han Dynasty as an example, before Wang Xuan's arrival, the population that could be supported during the peak period of the entire Han Dynasty did not exceed 70 million at most, which was the result of counting all the hidden households, and this number lasted until the early years of the Song Dynasty, until Jiangnan was really developed.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, due to the sharp decline in population caused by the war, the population was only about 13 million during the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty.

In this case, if the people lived a prosperous life, then, even if there was no improvement in the level of medical care, sixty years later, during the Han Dynasty, the population would have tripled to about 4,000W.

Did the people of the Han Dynasty live in abundance?

No, so, if the people are really rich, it only takes 50 years for my Chinese people to break through an empire.

In ancient times without family planning, the only way was to let the people live on the subsistence line, so that they could not reproduce wantonly, so that whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the population could be consumed to a certain extent.

Afterwards, you only need disaster relief, and even if there is a rebellion, it is generally small-scale and can be easily extinguished, and if you control it a little, it may be able to consume a little more.

This sounds very cruel, but the fact is that there are too many people to feed them, and the ruler can't just pull people out and kill a group before they reach the limit every time, right?

That's a tyrant, so what if you don't.

This is also the reason why the people of Cao Cao's family are not optimistic about Liu Bei and Wang Xuan.

There are many things that people don't know, and it's not that they don't try to change them, but there are times when manpower is poor.

In addition, people go to higher places, water flows to lower places, and you have made the people rich now, but when the population has skyrocketed to a certain level in a short time?

The quality of life will inevitably be reduced, and there will be the same rebellion, and the intensity will be higher.

Another point is that when people are prosperous in life, people will pursue more things, which will inevitably lead to more social contradictions, which are the key factors that destroy a country.

Not to mention anything else, the problem of wanting to rise when you are full of food, the contradiction between a poor family and a family is troublesome enough, and it is not necessarily a good thing for everyone to read.

Of course, these are all based on the inability to expand the size of the empire, the problem is that in Wang Xuan's eyes, none of these exist.

The world is big, I want to take it!

What is the yellow peril, it is so pleasing to hear.

How to make the world one?

How to make the world free from racial discrimination?

Quite simply, the world is only one color!

As for after this, it is not something that Wang Xuan needs to consider.

……

Back to the point, in the eyes of Xun You and others, the current Liu Beifang is a huge monster that seems to be beautiful, and at this moment this monster is forming a cocoon, trying to use this shell to protect itself for the last step of evolution, once it is completed, it can soar into the sky, but at this moment it is also the weakest time for the monster.

If you can stab it in one fell swoop, you will definitely be able to kill the monster, and return the world to a good family, and at worst, you will have to make a huge hole in this shell, and let the monster bleed to death by bloodletting.

Now, through Xun Yu, everyone has seen the urgency of the situation, and through Xun Yu has unified everyone's thoughts, Cao Cao slowly stood up, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and his voice was low and firm: "The policy of the tyrant Liu Bei, which has never been seen since ancient times, is actually a harm to all the people in the world. ”

"You must know that this world is not the world of one person, but the world of tens of thousands of people, there are no eggs under the nest, it is not immovable, it is like thunder, if you can't kill with one blow, there will be no chance."

In fact, Cao Cao is most worried about the fact that the families are always trying to preserve some of their strength.

If you want to be with Liu Bei and Wang Xuandu, can you retain your strength?

Not to mention that the broken family supports him Cao Cao, at least we must support it to the greatest extent.

And throughout the entire Three Kingdoms, except for the Mi family, who broke his family to support Liu Bei in order to get rid of the identity of a businessman, no one has done this, but he is surrounded by top families.

In the final analysis, in addition to the combination of Liu Bei and Wang Xuan, the enemy of the family is still the family.

"Rest assured, my lord, we will work together to fight Liu Bei!" Xun Yu took the lead, and everyone came out at the same time to salute Cao Cao respectfully.

I hope you understand, Cao Cao didn't say more, after all, in the end, the family has a way out, as long as it is not the Jingzhou family that does stupid things, such as the Xun family and the Chen family, and other top families, are willing to give up most of their rights to defect to Liu Bei, it is impossible for Liu Bei not to accept it.

In the final analysis, it's not that Liu Bei or Wang Xuan can't tolerate them, it's that they are unwilling to give up.

After the agreement between the monarch and the minister, Chen Qun came out and said: "Report to the lord, my subordinates suggest that this matter be contacted by Dongwu to act together, Dongwu has just died Zhu Ran, and the internal contradictions have intensified, they need a channel to vent, and Liu Bei can repay Sun Ce's determination to fight again, and it can also make the Dongwu family have nothing to say." ”

"Besides, this matter of destroying Liu is not our family's business, if Dongwu doesn't want to have no power to resist in the end, he must contribute."

"Wen Chang is right, even Sun Zaoliu can share a lot of pressure for our army." Xun You also opened his mouth and agreed.

"So what's good to come out? Soochow doesn't work in vain. "This is the truth, the enemy is the enemy, and the interests are the interests, and this point must be clearly distinguished.

"Give him Jing Nan." Cao Cao said directly: "Isn't Dongwu known as the first water master, then fulfill them and send the upper reaches of the river to them, I want to see which water master is more beneficial in the Sun and Liu families!" ”
