readx;? Pan An smiled bitterly: "Young man, do you know, five hundred years ago, what was the population of Daqian, and how much is it now?"

Zichen looked puzzled and shook his head, puzzled why Pan An suddenly mentioned this issue. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pan An did not sell Guanzi, and directly gave the answer: "Five hundred years ago, the population of Daqian was 100 million, and now the population of Daqian is approaching the one billion mark. ”

Zichen nodded: "Has it increased tenfold in five hundred years? But does this have anything to do with preventing refugees from entering the customs?"

Pan An smiled bitterly: "It's too relevant! Shaoxia, if you are an individual, you need to eat, drink, and Lazar, even Fa cultivation can't avoid it, just talking about the food problem, can the needs of a billion people be the same thing as the needs of 100 million people, not to mention the needs of various other resources!"

Zichen was stunned, but he understood a little: "What do you mean...... The population of Daqian is already overcrowded, and all kinds of resources are already overwhelmed?"

Pan An nodded: "Since the hundreds of years of peace, the people of Daqian have lived in peace and enjoyed it, and the population has grown rapidly, which is now a terrible number, which has brought tremendous pressure to Daqian's food and other resources, especially in the hinterland of Daqian, and this pressure is even greater. Shaoxia, think about it, if you are a family with barely enough to eat, and suddenly several neighbors next to you come to you to beg for food, what will happen?"

Zichen's mouth opened, and he couldn't accept this kind of speech in his heart, but he clearly knew that what Pan An said was correct. If it is already difficult for Qiannan and other places to be self-sufficient in grain and other resources, once a large number of refugees pour in from the great famine, the result will certainly be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Zichen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the world of ordinary civilians is like this, how is it not the world of Fa cultivation? Why is it so difficult for the Fa cultivators of the Great Wilderness to get out of the Great Wilderness, and even after leaving the Great Wilderness, they are often discriminated against, and it is difficult for them to be accepted by the various Dharma cultivation sects? The fundamental reason is also because of the limited cultivation resources, and one more person means more competition, and the Dharma cultivators of the Great Cadres are already exhausted in order to get a little more resources, so how can they welcome the Fa cultivators of the Great Wilderness to join the competition?

"Yes...... But because of this, Daqian just sat back and watched the refugees of the Great Wilderness and watch them die under the butcher's knife of the Demon Sect and the Southern Barbarians?"

Zichen sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, his tone was no longer as angry as before, but a little empty.

Pan An sighed: "Shaoxia, as a high-level decision-maker, it is different from an ordinary person, because any decision of a decision-maker is related to the interests of the majority of people, and once it is wrong, it may lead to various disasters." You should be able to understand that the starting point of a high-level decision-maker must be good, for example, as the city lord of Blackstone City, my first consideration is, of course, to let Blackstone City develop, so that everyone in Blackstone City can live a peaceful and prosperous life. But in fact, no matter how you do it, you will definitely not be able to satisfy everyone. Therefore, I can only make decisions that stand in the shoes of the majority and sacrifice a small number of people......"

Zichen listened silently, unable to say anything at all. Although he has never experienced officialdom and has never been a high-level decision-maker, he has to say that many things are common, and the principles that Pan An said are also consistent with many aspects of the Fadao. Therefore, even if he was unwilling to accept Pan An's words, he couldn't find any mistakes, so he could only be speechless.

"Shaoxia, except for some perverted madmen, there is hardly anyone in this world who likes war, but why is war always banned? The fundamental reason is not because of the competition for survival resources...... For example, the Nanban and the North Wind Empire in the north, why do they want to invade Daqian from time to time? Because after peace, the population will grow explosively, and when the population increases, the original resources will not be enough. ”

"Whether it succeeds or not, after the outbreak of war, some people will definitely die, and as soon as these people die, the resources that were not enough will become abundant, and the remaining people will not need to fight each other for resources, so the period of peaceful development will come...... Therefore, war is almost unavoidable, only a matter of time, and to some extent, this war is still a good medicine for the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is very advantageous for a country to die some people when its resources are overwhelmed......"

I don't know if it's been depressed in my heart for a long time, Pan An gushed such a bunch of truths, Zichen still can't refute it, and his heart is also upset, and he suddenly finds that this may be the sorrow of an ordinary person, without such a powerful force as Fa Xiu, ordinary people are born only as a bottom-level existence, providing resources for the strong, life and death are not controlled by themselves, and being slaughtered or redeemed depends on the preferences of the superiors.

Thinking of this, Zichen suddenly realized a question in his heart.

When arriving at the Xikou Plain and heading towards the Xikou Pass, Zichen has always been quite puzzled, this Xikou Plain has a flat terrain, fertile land, and is suitable for habitation, compared to the wild and primitive area of the Great Wilderness, it is really a rare feng shui treasure. But along the way, Zichen didn't see any people in the Xikou Plain.

This is really unusual and unreasonable, which makes Zichen puzzled. And it was only now that Zichen suddenly understood that this was a blank area specially created by the superior of the Great Qian, in order to create an area that provided enough buffer.

The role of the buffer area of the Xikou Plain, coupled with the fact that the Xikou Plain penetrates into the core of the wilderness, is the "difficulty of the West Mouth" caused by the rugged and steep terrain and environment without interference. These two points are sufficient to deal with any war, and ensure that the war that breaks out in the south will not quickly impact the core area of Daqian.

In addition, the most important point is that once there is any natural disaster** including war, it can also ensure that a terrible wave of refugees will not be formed in a short period of time and have an impact on Xikou Pass.

I have to say that the superiors of the great cadres have thought it through thoroughly, and it can be said that it has taken a lot of painstaking efforts......

As a human being, his innate humanity makes it difficult for Zichen to accept the so-called "painstaking" arrangements of these superiors, and he can't watch these innocent people being looted and slaughtered. But after all, Zichen is too small, his strength is insignificant, and his current identity and status are not worth mentioning, so no matter how hard he tries, it is impossible for him to have any impact on the world and change the general trend of the world.

Thinking about this, Zichen suddenly became disheartened, he didn't want to pay attention to these messy things, he just wanted to simply continue to pursue the Fadao, this world affairs of the world, let the people who should be in charge worry about it...... (To be continued.) )
