Chapter 1299: Curbing China's Population Growth

"And one more thing."

After talking about China's navy, the silver-haired old man thought for a moment, picked up the teapot and poured tea for the other party, and then said leisurely, "China's population is too large."

Shan Yuan was stunned and didn't understand why the other party said that.

China has always had a large population, right?

This is a fact in itself!

The silver-haired old man glanced at the other person and then continued.

"Shan Yuanjun, do you know how many people there are in China now?"

Shan Yuan shook his head, but the old man said seriously, "Seven billion!"

These two words made Shanyuan take a breath of cold air.

"Yes, in recent years, they have been increasing at a rate of more than 10 to 20 million per year. Now they have reached this terrifying point. If they continue to grow..."

"And this is data unilaterally announced by China. There may be more hidden populations."

"That's almost ten times the size of the Empire."

"So many people are powerful beings in the entire world. You and I have experienced wars, and we know that population resources are an important factor in the outcome of wars. Otherwise, how could that furry bear persist until now?"

Shan Yuan thought that at the end of the war, their human resources would be exhausted and they would have no choice but to send the children who had not grown up.

And Germany, too.

On the other hand, Mao Xiong and Huaxia, with their sufficient population, went on to defeat their opponents.

"The other side's continued population growth is not a good thing for the empire."

"You know, when the land can't keep up with the pressure of the population, they're going to need more land."

"And if you want to change internal conflicts, you can only look outside."

"So, we have to find ways to limit each other's population growth."

The silver-haired old man's eyes were full of wisdom.

Of course, he also understood that overpopulation was not a good thing.

If China continues to grow at its current population growth rate, its population will increase to a terrifying two billion in less than fifty years.

This number will bring very heavy survival pressure and will put China into a heavy burden.

Just filling these people's bellies is enough to give them a headache.

But this is just wishful thinking on his part.

China cannot fail to see the advantages and disadvantages brought about by the population explosion. It is nothing more than a matter of trade-offs.

What's more, humans are intelligent creatures.

When a family faces pressure to survive, will they still choose to have children?

No, they will measure the current facts and then take corresponding measures to avoid the appearance of children.

But even so, I believe that in the next ten years, if China does not take control measures, the population will still increase rapidly.

In particular, the opponent's base is too large.

So, they need to do something to prevent the worst from happening.

Shan Yuan was silent when he heard this.

Facing China's huge population base, not only they have a headache, but also the alliance in the north and the United States across the ocean have to scratch their heads and think carefully when facing a sea of ​​warriors.

"Your Excellency, if you want to limit the population growth of the other side, the most important thing is to restrict food, and the second is to work hard on medical construction."

"As long as there is not enough food, neonatal mortality will increase. The population will naturally increase slowly!"

After thinking for a while, Shanyuan finally spoke up and expressed his opinion.

"But, given our current situation, it's difficult to do that."

"Medical facilities can affect it. But food!"

"Moreover, the other party has begun to promote high-yielding corn. Large areas of corn are grown in the north, which not only provides food but is also used for export in exchange for supplies."

"More importantly, the other party's breeding base is inland. Let alone us, even the United States behind it cannot effectively destroy it."

"The momentum is there."

The silver-haired old man nodded, "We know this!"

"However, corn is a coarse grain after all, and its planting range is limited!"

"Just maintain the current situation, but other changes must not occur!"

Shan Yuan was surprised, and then said seriously, "Could it be that China has other actions?"

The silver-haired old man nodded, "Because of the emergence of high-yielding corn, the Chinese agricultural department secretly implemented a basket of support plans. In this, our allies got some information."

"This is very bad for us!"

Shan Yuan took a breath of cold air, "Your Excellency, we must not allow another high-yielding crop to appear in China. In that case, the rise of China will be the biggest threat to the empire."

"Don't worry, not only do we understand this, but our allies also understand it!"

"The emergence of hybrid corn has attracted the attention of the allies, and they have lost the best opportunity to deal with the furry bears. Of course, they will not let China rise."

"Our allies have already started to implement it and we believe it will be effective soon."

"And what we need to do is."

The silver-haired old man showed a ferocious look in his eyes, "Let the Chinese people realize the pressure caused by overpopulation."

"Let them control the population themselves."

Hearing this, Shanyuan nodded sharply, "Your Excellency, I understand."

"I will contact experts and scholars to declare the pressure that overpopulation puts on society, the pressure on land, and the obstacles to the progress of civilization..."

"Trust the smart people, the friendly people, to do it."

The silver-haired old man smiled and nodded. China has no shortage of smart people.

But smart people are not necessarily good people.

"In that case, I leave this matter to you."

"Ha Yi! In order to make the empire strong, Shanyuan will do whatever he wants."

After saying that, Shan Yuan stood up and left the palace under the guidance of the waiter.

Ah~~~

Kill me~~~

Suddenly, a voice came from the wall, and Shan Yuan couldn't help but stop.

After confirming the source of the voice, Shan Yuan's face suddenly turned pale.

"Your Majesty~~~"

On the other side, the silver-haired old man came to a palace, knelt beside him, and looked at the figure under the imperial physician.

The thin man with a haggard face lying on the bed, who would have thought that the god of the Dahe people who once led the empire to glory, the man who could maintain the dignity of the empire even if he failed, would be like this.

His hair fell out, his eye sockets were deep, his eyes were scattered, and his body was shriveled like a ghost.

Roaring, ferocious, and terrifying.

Until the imperial physician finished his work, the man gathered his voice, and his heavy breathing gradually stabilized.

The nasolabial folds on the face of the silver-haired old man were all pulled together, and his eyes were full of pain.

The former god is now like a dying old dog.

Unthinkable, unacceptable.

"Doctor, how is His Majesty?"

The old man asked in a low voice, stopping the doctor who was leaving.

The doctor shook his head and motioned to go out and talk.

The two came to the outside of the store, and the doctor was relieved.

"Your Excellency! His Highness's health!"

The doctor insisted and shook his head, which made the old man's heart sink to the bottom.

"Your Majesty originally had an old illness, and there would be no problem if he was recuperating according to the previous treatment."

"But in the last epidemic, the continuous high temperature not only broke down His Majesty's immune system, but also triggered various diseases."

"In the end, even if the high temperature is controlled, it's too late!"

"Now, the cancer in His Majesty's body is getting worse"

"It used to be once a week, now, once every two days, if it continues like this, it is estimated..."

The doctor didn't finish speaking, but the old man understood the meaning of the words.

"How is His Highness?"

Then he asked about the situation of the heirs.

You know, the two heirs were infected with bacteria last time, although they recovered in the end.

But they also left the root of the disease.

"The situation is better, but you still have to be careful and don't get sick again."

"Okay, I understand."

After saying that, the doctor was about to leave, but the old man held his hand.

"You know the news here."

"Don't worry, sir, I naturally understand."

As the doctor left, the old man walked into the door and looked at the figure who coughed from time to time with a respectful expression.

"Your Majesty, you, take care of yourself!"

The coughing continued, and even the sputum he coughed out was stained with blood.

"Shui, Shuimu."

"Your Majesty!"

"Now, when I close my eyes, I feel that there are evil spirits on my body, entangled with me."

"Your Majesty, is it retribution?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty should not belittle yourself, Your Majesty is blessed by the God of Amaterasu..."

"Don't say it."

The dry palm interrupted the other party's words, and he lay on the bed with a bright look.

"Maybe, I was really wrong..."

The old man lowered his head, with mixed feelings in his heart. When did their gods admit their mistakes?

"But, I, I don't regret it!"

"Unfortunately, I underestimated Huaxia!"

"Huaxia, Huaxia."

"Your Majesty..."

Hearing this, the old man burst into tears and prostrated himself on the ground.

After a while, the old man saw that the other party did not speak again, so he raised his head, and then saw that he was lying on the bed, mumbling in his mouth, as if he was dying.

After the old man left the palace, he was in a daze.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the palace wall red, the blood-like color, but it awakened the most manic blood in his heart.

"Huaxia~Huaxia~!!!"

The back teeth were tightly bitten, and the angry roar was like a suppressed roar, "We will wait and see."

Shanghai.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the several people at the table, his face was humble and polite.

Comrade Lao Jin sat beside him, constantly trying to get in touch with the people around him.

These people were all invited by Lao Jin to meet Yang Xiaotao, and he also introduced Yang Xiaotao to them.

Among them, there are the director of the cotton mill, the secretary of the TV factory, people from the steel mill, and of course people from the car factory and refrigerator factory.

Everyone also knows the significance of coming here, and everyone talks about their friendship in the past, with constant laughter.

"Old Jin, I didn't expect that you would have such an outstanding grandson."

The director of the cotton mill said with a smile, looking at Yang Xiaotao with envy.

Among those present, regardless of seniority and age, this young man has the highest position.

And to be in this position at this age, it is not just about ability.

"Haha, I didn't expect it either."

Old Jin was quite emotional, and Jiang Dayong on the side raised his glass, "Xiaotao, uncle thanks you here."

Yang Xiaotao raised his glass and clinked it, "Uncle, there is no need to be polite between us."

The two smiled and drank a glass to the end.

Secretary Ning saw this and felt jealous, "Old Jin, you have cleared the snow in front of your house, but you can't ignore us old brothers."

Everyone present knew that the automobile factory had won the motorcycle production task, and the cooperation with the machinery factory would only get deeper and deeper in the future. They were naturally envious.

"Don't talk about me, I don't have that much ability, you can just find him."

Old Jin was a bachelor, and he pushed Yang Xiaotao out directly.

Ahem

Secretary Ning coughed twice, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Xiaotao, you also know our current situation. It seems glorious on the surface, but deep down, we are all cautious."

"If there is any good opportunity in the future, you have to think of us."

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly said politely, "What you said is true. With grandpa's relationship, as long as I can do it, I, Yang Xiaotao, will do it."

He patted his chest and said very heroically, "Come on, as a junior, I toast you."

"Cheers~~~"

Old Jin on the side looked at Old Ning drinking with Yang Xiaotao, and Jiang Dayong who was also happily urging him to drink, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

It would be strange if one of these people could drink more than him.

Sure enough, the only ones who could stay sober at the end of the table were the father and son.

Yang Xiaotao was a drinker, and Comrade Old Jin simply avoided the firepower.

Only after sending Jiang Dayong, who was crying and holding Yang Xiaotao, to the car did Lao Jin look back at his grandson, "If you can help these people, help them."

"It doesn't matter if you can't help."

Seeing Yang Xiaotao was a little surprised, Lao Jin spit the thick phlegm in his throat into the flowerbed, "I originally wanted to introduce you to more people, but now it seems that there is no need at all."

"You, just do what you should do, don't think too much."

After hearing Lao Jin's words, Yang Xiaotao laughed, "Okay, listen to you, ignore them."

"What do you mean listen to me? You have your own judgment."

"Yes, yes, judge for yourself."

As he said, he walked forward and helped Lao Jin into the house.

"When are you going back?"

When he was at the door, Lao Jin suddenly spoke, his voice trembling.

During this period of time, he was very satisfied with this grandson.

Living with Yang Xiaotao, there is an indescribable feeling, just like having children and grandchildren around him and enjoying the family life.

"The day after tomorrow, there are a lot of things to do at the machinery factory, it's time to go back."

"The day after tomorrow."

Old Jin sighed and didn't say much.

The child is grown up, so he can't stay with me.

Besides, this child is still capable.

"When you have time, bring the children here often to play. These three children are likable just by looking at them."

"Okay, come often in the future."
