Immortal Emperor’s Self-cultivation

"It's small, the layout is small."

Seeing the doubts and disapproval on Chu Xiaolian's face, Li Hanguang calmly said, "Have you ever been hungry?"

Chu Xiaolian was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head honestly: "I've never been hungry before."

After all, he is the third young master of the Chu family in Hongcheng.

Although the Chu family in Hongcheng is far from being able to compare with Aojian Xianmen, it is definitely a family of cultivating immortals.

The family owns thousands of acres of spiritual fields and a large number of other types of industries.

Even in the world of cultivating immortals, Chu Xiaolian can be regarded as a rich second-generation figure!

No matter how poor he is, he is still the son of the landlord's family, and he cannot be reduced to the point where he can't even afford to eat.

Li Hanguang sighed: "Do you know how many countries there are in this Taicang Mansion?"

Chu Xiaolian thought for a while, and said, "The power of the Taicang Mansion is roughly divided into a holy land, seven immortal gates, and hundreds of sects and thousands of kingdoms."

Li Hanguang nodded: "Yes, there are thousands of mortal countries in Tai Cang Mansion!"

"The population of each country ranges from tens of millions to hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions. There are hundreds of billions of people in total."

Chu Xiaolian was slightly taken aback: "Is there so many?"

Just as giant dragons seldom care about ants, cultivators rarely care about ordinary people.

Hearing Li Hanguang's introduction, Chu Xiaolian was a little puzzled, why the elder brother wanted to investigate these things specially.

Li Hanguang sighed: "Do you know why there are thousands of kingdoms within one mansion?"

Why are there thousands of countries within one government?

Chu Xiaolian showed doubts: "Because there is no country strong enough to unify the countries?"

...

"In the Taicang Mansion, the Holy Land is the only one!"

Li Hanguang said calmly: "Tai Cang Holy Land sends out a saint at will, and they can sweep the thousand kingdoms and unify Tai Cang Mansion."

"The so-called 'thousands of troops' in the mortal world are vulnerable to immortal cultivators."

"Why, the Holy Land of the Celestial Cang and the Seven Great Immortal Gates choose to sit and watch thousands of countries stand side by side, allowing them to fight and kill each other?"

"I'm afraid the number of Limin people who died in the war every year is not less than billions!"

Chu Xiaolian was stunned.

He never thought about these issues.

He bowed to Li Hanguang earnestly: "Please, elder brother give advice."

Li Hanguang looked at the rice field in front of him: "Because of the barren land, it is impossible to support these hundreds of millions of people."

"Three years ago, Li went down the mountain to practice and investigated the farming conditions in several nearby countries."

"People in most countries have only one or two acres of land per household, and the total annual grain output is only about two to three hundred catties."

"Even if all the food goes to the common people, it's still not enough to feed them."

"Moreover, these grains cannot all be eaten, and some of them must be stored to deal with accidents, such as floods, droughts, locust plagues and other natural disasters."

"It is completely impossible to feed a family, especially a family with more children, if we only rely on farming to satisfy our hunger.

In Li Hanguang's eyes, there was a deep sadness from the heart.

He sighed: "I have seen some families abandon newborn babies in the ice and snow because of insufficient food."

"I have also seen that there are some village customs. Whenever the elderly reach a certain age, even if they are healthy, they will still be sent to the earthen pot grave, waiting to die in despair."

"If there is a severe disaster year and there is a large-scale failure of crops, it will be even more terrible."

"Some people bloated their stomachs after eating Guanyin soil, some people ate poisonous weeds and drank poison to quench their thirst, and some people even exchanged children for food!"

Chu Xiao practiced his body trembling: "This, how is this possible! Don't they have humanity?"

Li Hanguang said calmly: "You have never suffered from that kind of hunger."

"In extreme hunger, the evil of human nature will be aroused thousands of times. This is a beast that cannot be restrained by morality!"

"Now, let's deduce the previous guess."

"If the Holy Land of the Heavens comes forward and completely unifies these thousands of countries, it may be possible to form a short-term peace and avoid billions of war casualties every year."

"But it's just a flash in the pan."

"The people of the Li people are not like cultivators of immortals. They can go to heaven and earth, go on adventures, and live exciting and exciting lives."

"They have nothing to do, they can only give birth and play at home."

"In such a few decades, the number of mortals will show a blowout growth, the per capita share of fields will be less, and more people will be trapped and hungry."

"If there is another disaster year at that time, the number of people who starve to death may not be as simple as billions."

"It's tens of billions, or even tens of billions!"

...

Chu Xiaolian swallowed, completely shocked by the huge number.

No matter how dull he is, he doesn't understand people's livelihood.

However, the impact caused by tens of billions of human lives can still shock him.

He muttered to himself, thinking of a cruel fact: "War is the fastest and most direct way to reduce the population."

"It is also an important way for ordinary people to vent their desires. Through war, they can plunder other countries' land, food, and transfer hatred."

"And men who fight at the border all the year round can also be separated from their wives for a long time, avoiding a substantial increase in the number of children."

"So, in fact, the so-called thousand-nation war is actually population control?"

Li Hanguang nodded: "Junior Brother Chu, you have finally enlightened."

"Is this the nature of the world?"

Chu Xiaolian couldn't accept it: "It's too cruel. Could it be that the chaos of wars for thousands of years has always been driven by the immortal gates of the Holy Land?"

Chu Xiao practiced doubting life.

It's as if you suddenly discovered one day that your elders are actually terrorists who are causing trouble in the world.

That feeling will never be good!

Li Hanguang shook his head and said, "I don't think it's the cultivators who are driving these wars."

"I even believe that 'the general trend of the world, long-term division must be united, and long-term unity must be divided' is the number of days, and the wars and chaos of thousands of countries are the result of natural selection."

"Perhaps the Holy Land and the Immortal Sect have compassion, and they want to solve these problems, but it's not easy to go against the sky?"

Chu Xiaolian was thoughtful: "It is indeed going against the sky!"

"If the food problem is not resolved, wars and divisions will not stop, and will only repeat indefinitely."

"Holy Master Tai Cang can't solve this problem, and neither can the Sword Master Haoran."

Li Hanguang nodded: "There is no right or wrong in war, only positions."

"As long as the problem of survival cannot be solved, the war will never stop!"

"The so-called 'number of days', in the final analysis, is the contradiction between land, population and food."

Chu Xiaolian seemed to have figured something out, and slapped his thigh suddenly.

"So, as long as everyone can use their own fields to grow enough food to eat, that's enough?"

Chu Xiaolian suddenly realized: "I have realized it!"

"The Daozu that senior brother mentioned solved this problem."

"He cultivated giant rice and completely solved the problem of insufficient food?"

Li Hanguang nodded slowly: "In that piece of ancient history, there were hundreds of millions of common people, but none of them starved to death."

"Wars and chaos have also been greatly reduced, and the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment."

"Don't pick up things on the road, don't close the door at night, old age will end, growth will be useful, and youth will be strong, this is what it means..."

"The Great Harmony of the World!"

Chu Xiaolian was shocked: "It's unbelievable that none of the hundreds of millions of people died of starvation! Could it be the fairyland there?"

...

Li Hanguang looked deeply at Chu Xiaolian, and picked up an ear of rice: "That's not a fairyland."

"As long as our young people work together, it will be the future of the world!"
