Listening to these numbers, Yang Shu's eyes were full of surprises, but there were tears in the corners of his eyes: "You actually found out!"
The rise and fall of the world, those Confucian students always like to use words such as "the one who loses the right to help less, and the one who gets the right to help more", "the king loses virtue" and other words to explain, it seems that every founding emperor is a man of perfect morality, and every last emperor is a moral person Rubbish. Later generations looked at the materials deliberately sorted out, and looked at those last kings with colored glasses, only to feel that they were all licentious and shameless. As for why many people in the founding emperor had no "virtue" at all, and even occupied the world, but hurriedly pretended not to see it.
Yang Shu, Gao Ying, He Ruobi, Yang Huan, Yang Jian, etc. stand at the top of each era, looking down on the common people in the world, clearing away the clouds and mists, and in the eyes of the emperors and generals who look down on everything, the rise and fall of an era has long been gathered into numbers , clearly recorded and summarized in history books.
Yang Shu arranged for Hu Xueting to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but he never thought that Hu Xueting could really find out the truth from the mountains of materials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. There are too many scholars, everyone is looking at history, but they are only doing moral articles, wanting to be almost illiterate, only some clever Hu Xueting can find out the truth, it is too demanding. Yang Shu just hoped that Hu Xueting would accomplish the second goal, and that would be good luck. Unexpectedly, the goal that had no hope was realized.
"Old man is really curious sometimes, are you really a star king descended from the sky, is it true that 108 demon stars have descended?" Yang Shu said slowly, sincerely hoping for a miracle.
Gao Ying still couldn't believe it. Hu Xueting found that the proportion of the truth was infinitely close to zero. Could it be nonsense? They thought too much? Moreover, the figures in Hu Xueting's mouth are somewhat different from the data he investigated, and they don't completely match. You must ask clearly about matters that are extremely important.
"Talk about it." Gao Ying asked.
Hu Xueting said: "At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos, with a population of 40 million; during the Chimei Rebellion of the Han Dynasty, the population was 60 million; during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population was 56 million, and the population of Da Sui was 50 million."
Gao Ying twitched the corners of her mouth, and she was really seen.
Hu Xueting continued: "Since the Qin Dynasty, the population has exceeded 40 million, and the world will be in turmoil. The Da Sui has reached 50 million. How many years will it take to reach the peak of 60 million?"
"Oh? This number may be just a coincidence." Gao Ying continued. In the past, Hu Xueting always refused to have a good conversation, and dressed himself up as an ignorant psychopath, for fear of revealing something. Today's opportunity is rare, and Hu Xueting is in a state of mind. A little uncertain, with a tendency to talk seriously, just to see something from it.
"It's not a coincidence." Hu Xueting did not pay attention, and continued: "Although the world is big, there is a population limit!"
Hu Xueting, who grew up in a country with a population of 1.4 billion, squeezed a subway to stick to people, and turned on the news every day to see that the country was emphasizing population decline, social security accounts were empty, and encouraging second children. Hu Xueting never thought that the population would have an upper limit .
"Some people have to eat, the land is exhausted, and the annual output is only so small." In an era when there were no high-yield crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, only rice and wheat, and the output was still shitty, the land's The output is extremely limited. The amount of arable land and the annual harvest determine the upper limit of the population.
"What's worse is that the land annexation of the Da Sui dynasty surpassed any era." As the merger of the three countries of "Northern Zhou, Northern Qi, and Chen", Da Sui is an out-and-out tribal alliance, with countless veterans and warlords , aristocrats, and wealthy families have been completely preserved. Just look at the Yuwen clan that was usurped by Yang Jian. Yu Shiji, who originally belonged to the high officials of the Chen Dynasty, not only lived happily in the Da Sui Dynasty, but also became Yang Huan's confidant. How many years of wealth has lasted, and how many assets have been retained.
The land annexation of the Da Sui Dynasty cannot be counted from the day when the country was founded, but it must be traced back to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Northern Qi Dynasty and Chen State, that is, in 420 AD. It even dates back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty in 317 AD.
These hundreds-of-year-old gatekeepers have perfectly implemented the "Zhumen wine and meat stinks, and the roads are frozen to death", and they would rather collect the grain rotten in the warehouse than sell it to farmers at a low price.
"There is a dynasty in three hundred years. The Da Sui Dynasty is not the founding of the country, but the end." Hu Xueting glared at Yang Shu: "Peaceful evolution is not an option!" Playing house, without cleansing and massacring the forces of hostile countries, where do the people in this world get land, and where do they get room for improvement?
"The rule of Wenjing in Han Dynasty had a population of 14 million; the rule of Guangwu Zhongxing had a population of 21 million; the rule of Taikang in the Western Jin Dynasty had a population of 16 million!" accepted by Hu Xueting?The queen is fooling! No wonder Lai Huer looked at her so strangely that day.
"Hu Mou already knows, let's go." She waved at the eunuch.
The eunuch coughed hard: "The Holy Majesty and the Empress miss Princess Danyang very much, and invited Princess Danyang to enter the palace already."
Hu Xueting nodded: "Okay, then let's go earlier on the day of the banquet." The eunuch stood aside, opened his mouth wide, and made it so clear that he couldn't believe that Hu Xueting and Yang Xuan didn't understand what he meant. Xuan Gan didn't talk to her, did she refuse to send Xiao Xuelan into the palace? It's so unreasonable!
The eunuch looked at Yang Xuangan and Hu Xueting strangely, the people the emperor and empress wanted to see, what an honor that is, if other people heard what he said, they would have happily sent the child to the palace, but These two people were actually indifferent, obviously they didn't take Empress Xiao seriously. He sighed secretly. He had heard about Yang Shu's arrogance and rebellion for a long time, and he still felt that the rumors were not credible. When he met at Hu's house today, he realized how arrogant Yang Shu was. His son and his subordinates did not take the royal family seriously. .
"Should I report it to Empress Xiao?" The eunuch was very entangled.
"I've written down this grudge!" As soon as the eunuch left, Hu Xueting immediately slapped the table, "Empress Xiao, dare to trick me, just wait!"
"Wait a p!" Yang Xuan glared angrily, "Back then you publicly refuted Empress Xiao calling you into the palace, which was a serious crime of beheading. Now she just teased you once, and you still owe her."
Hu Xueting cocked his neck: "Nonsense, she was the one who provoked me first!"
Yang Xuangan picked up Xiaoxuelan and left: "Don't listen to your sister. Your sister is a secondary school student. You should listen to your master."
Xiao Xuelan looked at Yang Xuangan, and asked cautiously: "Listen to Master, will he buy me glutinous rice cakes?"

ps: The population trap is made by Uncle Ben for the sake of plot. It has nothing to do with science or history.
