Chapter 217

Behind this meant white bones!

This was no joke!

Once these words were spoken, not only Shangguan Wan'er, but even Gao Feng and Gao Tianlong were extremely surprised.

Only Gao Yang was calm!

This rule is not difficult. Not only is it in the dynastic cycle theory in history books, but the geometric progression in mathematics is even more so. Gao Yang just said the most superficial point.

The speed of population expansion is terrifying!

"As Official Shangguan said, as time passes, the speed of the world's population expansion will definitely exceed the total food yield!"

"Looking at it by country, if you want to solve this problem, or even lay out in advance to avoid the arrival of famine, there is only one way, and that is—expansion!"

"If your own land is not enough, then rob. In all directions, whoever is easy to rob, then rob them!"

Once the words were spoken!

Wu Zhao's face was extremely ugly.

Gao Feng and Gao Tianlong's hearts also tightened suddenly, realizing the key to the problem!

This was like a conspiracy that could not be resisted. This was a truly irreversible general trend. If you want to solve it, you can only go and rob!

Gao Yang continued.

"The world has been stable for too long, and the population has expanded too much. Once a war is launched, there will be two major benefits!"

"The first point is the looting I just mentioned!"

"Looting population, looting land, looting all useful resources. With more land, you can support more population, but there is a crucial second point."

Gao Yang paused specifically, his eyes like a quiet deep pool, extremely deep.

The gazes of Gao Feng and the others gathered on Gao Yang.

Gao Yang said word by word, "War can also solve overpopulation."

Hum!

Following Gao Yang's words, Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er's faces simultaneously revealed a hint of horror.

Even Gao Tianlong's face changed greatly.

Gao Yang's words were like thunder from the nine heavens, suddenly dispelling the haze in their minds, and like a strong wind sweeping away the dark clouds in their hearts.

This sentence pointed directly to the essence!

Gao Yang continued, "A hundred years ago, the heroes of the world fought, and finally, seven kingdoms remained!"

"Because of that chaotic battle, too many people died in the world, and those who could fight their way out from hundreds of forces were all heroes and owls!"

"At this time, too many people died, and they couldn't fight anymore. Everyone needed to recuperate, the world was stable, there was enough land, and the population would grow crazily, but this also had an upper limit. This is the upper limit of iron plows and ox farming."

"Once this upper limit is exceeded, the population continues to double, the common people cannot eat enough, and coupled with natural disasters like droughts and locusts, as well as the looting of corrupt officials, the common people cannot survive, and they will rebel and make trouble."

"In the past hundred years, although the seven kingdoms have fought, they have not hurt their roots, which is bound to lead to one thing, that is, population expansion, coupled with land annexation, and noble families swallowing land!"

"The best way to transfer this contradiction is war!"

"One is looting, and the other is slowing down population pressure!"

"Otherwise, if it continues, once a natural disaster is encountered, it will be a great uprising of the common people, reshuffling the cards, and then the dynasty will be overthrown, repeating itself. Almost all dynasties can hardly escape this law!"

Following these words, Wu Zhao's expression was shaken, and she could no longer be calm on her face!

Dragon-slaying art!

This term suddenly popped up in her mind. Although Gao Yang did not expand on it in detail, Wu Zhao could be sure that this was dragon-slaying art!

What a capitalist learns is dragon-slaying art.

Gao Tianlong was also full of shock.

He thought Gao Yang was just talking, but now it seemed that Gao Yang really understood dragon-slaying art!

"Then why are you sure that the world will be in chaos soon? Can you accurately predict the number of common people in the world?"

Wu Zhao seemed to have caught a loophole in Gao Yang's words and questioned him.

Gao Yang shook his head, "I naturally don't have that ability."

"No one in the world has that ability!"

"But to be precise, the chaos in the world I judged, the so-called devastating disaster, the first one is Da Qian!"

"Why? Give me a reason!"

A very rich imperial aura erupted from Wu Zhao's body, crushing toward Gao Yang.

If an ordinary person faced this terrifying aura, they would probably be scared to wet their pants.

But Gao Yang did not change his face, and he just said indifferently, "The reason is very simple, because Your Majesty is a female emperor!"

"Your Majesty is the only female emperor in a hundred or a thousand years. If Your Majesty were born in a powerful unified dynasty, this would not be anything."

"But Your Majesty was born in this turbulent era of the seven kingdoms competing for hegemony, and this problem is big!"

Wu Zhao's heart tightened, and her face suddenly became ugly.

Gao Feng and Gao Tianlong's faces changed greatly.

Gao Feng even reprimanded, "Rebellious son, don't talk nonsense!"

This could be said to be Wu Zhao's reverse scale, but Gao Yang tore it open alive.

But Wu Zhao reached out to stop Gao Feng, "Junior Official Gao, continue!"

"You are not only innocent, but also rewarded!"

"If you were the king of the six kingdoms, when would you attack?"

Gao Yang said directly, "If I were the king of the six kingdoms, the sooner the better!"

"Because from the perspective of capital, first, the internal contradictions of various countries need to be transferred. Secondly, the new emperor has ascended the throne, and the government is unstable. What's more, Your Majesty ascended the throne as a woman, which will inevitably make the vassal kings of the world unconvinced!"

"Your Majesty wants to weaken the vassal kings, but they also hope that Your Majesty will die and Da Qian will be in chaos, because only in this way will they have the opportunity to compete for the world!"

"So, now is the best opportunity to take action!"

"As for why it is Da Qian, the reason is very simple, because from the perspective of human nature, persimmons should be picked when they are soft!"

"Otherwise, when Your Majesty stabilizes the government and successfully weakens the vassal kings, it will be disadvantageous to them."

After these words.

Wu Zhao's face changed wildly.

Even her hands were a bit unstable.

Seeing this, Gao Yang comforted, "Your Majesty, don't be too worried. I am just speculating; it may not necessarily happen."

"You can just take it as arrogant words and listen to it casually. Besides, Da Qian's Changan has countless majestic passes along the way, and many soldiers and generals. Even if a war starts, there is no need to worry!"

"This won't cause too much of a storm!"

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes looked directly at Gao Yang, and she said quietly, "Originally, I wasn't very panicked, but after you said this."

"I admit, I am a little panicked."
