456: Chapter 456 The world ultimately belongs to those who can live.

When the Niao Rong Great Elder was leading a group of remnant soldiers back to the Shule Tribe's Golden Grand Tent, he happened to see small tribes affiliated with the Shule Tribe fleeing in panic.

"What happened?"

The Niao Rong Great Elder stopped this small tribe and questioned them.

"Great Qin has attacked!"

"They have occupied our territory!"

The chieftain of this tribe said.

The Niao Rong Great Elder's expression was grim; he had anticipated Great Qin's retaliation.

However, he never expected Great Qin's revenge to come so quickly!

"Did the Sajiong Tribe manage to escape?"

The Niao Rong Great Elder asked hurriedly.

"No!"

Hearing the response, the Niao Rong Great Elder's face turned extremely pale; he knew their Shule Tribe was finished.

They could only withdraw from their territory first and then plan their next move.

In his heart, Great Qin had only temporarily occupied the Hexi Corridor.

They wouldn't be able to hold the Hexi Corridor!

Zhao Fusu was not surprised at all by the capture of the Hexi Corridor.

Taking the Hexi Corridor did not mean they had completely occupied it.

Most of those living in the Hexi Corridor were Qiang people; even if they defected to Great Qin, it would only be temporary.

Their main ethnic group was still the Qiang people, not the Qin people.

For stability, the proportion of Qin people in the Hexi Corridor had to reach at least ninety percent!

He needed a large population to fill the Hexi Corridor!

"There is strength in numbers!"

Zhao Fusu sighed with emotion.

He did not blindly increase the population either.

Because when the population exceeds food production, wars usually break out to compete for land and consume the excess population.

The population is reduced through the form of war.

He first had to calculate the population that Great Qin could currently support, and then carry out macro-adjustments.

This was similar to Family Planning.

Many people directly blast Family Planning; previously, only one child was allowed, but now not only can two children be born, but even a third child has been permitted.

This seems contradictory.

In fact, it is not contradictory at all.

Times change!

Firstly, after a century of turmoil, the population plummeted; therefore, after the founding of the nation, the state used various incentive policies to stimulate childbirth.

Under the fission of a single household having seven children, a population explosion occurred in a short time.

Too large a population and decreased food production meant the state could not support so many people.

To consume the excess population under natural circumstances, one way is through war, and the other is through epidemics.

However, in modern society, technology is too advanced; if a hot war were used to consume the population, the consequences would be too severe.

As for epidemics, technology is also too advanced, making it difficult for diseases to consume surplus population on a large scale.

Family Planning was born under these circumstances.

When the state cannot support so many people and doesn't want overpopulation, it makes people have fewer children.

When the state can afford more people, it encourages them to have more children.

The hegemony of this world has belonged to the Mongolians, the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the United States; ultimately, it belongs to those who can procreate.

Look, now "Third Brother" has ushered in his spring; before, he could only have lizards as his "Third Sister-in-law," but now he can have all kinds of "teachers" as his "Third Sister-in-law," making so many people envious.

Zhao Fusu looked down upon DINK families.

Once the two old fogies die, their property will belong to those who can procreate.

Even if they squander it all before they die, wouldn't that just allow others to easily take their money?

This was also why Zhao Fusu wanted to settle a large number of Qin people in the Hexi Corridor; otherwise, once the Qin people occupying the Hexi Corridor died out, it would still belong to the Qiang people!
