Qin Yuan naturally knew that his wife would not understand, so without waiting for her to speak, he said proudly:

"This is actually very complicated and a philosophical question."

“When relatively new things are no longer suitable for society and cannot solve the main contradictions of society at present, new things will emerge to replace the ‘relatively new things’ that have become old things.”

"To put it simply, you make a new key, but the new key can't open your old lock, so you have to make a newer key to open the lock."

Yan Jiaoran: “…”

For some reason, she had the urge to kill the bastard in front of her.

Relatively new.

New things.

A 'relatively new thing' that is already old.

What the hell is going on here? What a mess!

Although I don’t understand it, it must be very powerful. I must write it down and use it to tease Murong Yanran when I get back!

Yan Jiaoran recited this sentence several times in her mind, making sure she had memorized it word for word.

But I do understand the metaphor of the lock and key.

The shoes just don't fit. Should I get a pedicure or change the shoes?

Haha, you bastard, you can't even speak clearly!

Then, I heard this bastard say...

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand this!"

"The dynastic cycle is complicated to explain, but it's easy to understand when you apply it to history."

"To put it bluntly, it's just four words."

"——The contradiction between man and earth!"

It's so frustrating!

However, she really didn't understand and could only suppress her resentment deep in her heart.

We'll settle the score another day.

Suspiciously asked, "A contradiction between people and land?"

"Yes, the contradiction between people and land." Qin Yuan explained slowly.

"My dear lady, you have already understood from the previous discussion of placing rice on the chessboard that population growth is exponential, right?"

Yan Jiaoran nodded. Although she didn’t understand why the population would explode after a few generations, since everyone said it was, then it must be true.

Qin Yuan continued, "However, the food needed to feed these people is not growing as fast."

"So the question arises: what will happen if the population increases and there is not enough food?"

"Make these people disappear?" Yan Jiaoran said in a lost voice.

"Yes, the extra population will always disappear in some form, thus ensuring that the population and food production are always maintained in a relatively balanced range."

After hearing this, Yan Jiaoran was dumbfounded.

Qin Yuan continued, "My lady, you are well-read. You must know that every dynasty, when it was founded, experienced war and turmoil, with a sharp decline in population and was in a state of need for reconstruction, right?"

"And the founding monarch who established the country was naturally no ordinary man. He would definitely choose a policy of recuperation, and the population would gradually begin to recover."

"In this way, after two or three generations of recovery, it will reach its peak, and then the so-called 'Golden Age' recorded in history books will appear."

"As the saying goes, its rise is vigorous."

"After a long period of land annexation, there will be a situation where 'the rich have fields stretching for miles, while the poor have no place to stand.'"

"When the total population reaches a level that overall resources cannot support, and social contradictions accumulate to an extreme, society will inevitably erupt into a frenzy of redistribution."

"And then there will be famines, uprisings, rebellions, nomadic invasions, and so on."

"The existing dynasty will be overthrown, and after a long period of unrest, the population will decline sharply again."

"This is precisely why their demise is inevitable and sudden."

Shocking!

Extremely shocking!

From Qin Yuan's words.

Yan Jiaoran has witnessed the demise of the Great Zhou Dynasty not long after it was founded!

The following scene seemed to appear before her eyes:

Ragged, skinny, starving people were everywhere, wandering around the land of Da Zhou, just wanting a bite to eat.

Finally, in desperation, they rose up in rebellion, smashing, looting, burning, and plundering the rich.

Since then, wars and battles have continued throughout the country, and the whole country is in mourning.

She seemed to have seen the scene of the Great Zhou being overthrown again!

This feeling is so uncomfortable!

She doesn't want to see it.

She would not allow her and this bastard's descendants to have such an ending in the future!

She absolutely could not accept this result.

But……

What can she do?

How should she change this situation!

She couldn't even handle the aristocratic families in the court, the princes and nobles who pretended to obey but actually disobeyed...

Yan Jiaoran is completely powerless to reverse the situation!

I can't think of any solution.

For a moment, Yan Jiaoran was in a state of dismay. She looked at Qin Yuan with disbelief and felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart.

The chill penetrated her heart, making her shiver involuntarily.

This completely shattered her worldview.

The results were much more shocking than I had expected when I heard those two questions.

Because, at this time, Yan Jiaoran already understood why these two problems were bound to happen!

Why the Great Zhou is bound to perish!

The more I think about it, the scarier it gets.

The more I think about it, the more powerless I feel.

Life seems to be in darkness.

Yan Jiaoran suddenly woke up with a start. She felt a chill on her back and her clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

This bastard will find a way, right?

She seemed to have grabbed the last straw!

Yes, yes!

It must be!

Since this bastard can see such a problem and grasp its essence, he must have a way to prolong the life of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a solution!
