Chapter 304: The Inevitable War
"Brother Zeng Shan, you are really amazing!"
"Your majesty, your majesty has risen greatly!"
......
Along the way, Wen Zhen and Liang Qing's subordinates chattered and praised Liang Qing and Zeng Shan, but Liang Qing thought of the trouble in the future, so he would rather not be in the limelight, while Zeng Shan felt that this was just a trivial matter and not worth mentioning, so the two of them did not show any too happy looks. ‘
Soon, everyone arrived in the small courtyard where Zeng Shan lived, Zeng Shan ordered to go down, and after a while, someone came up with two tables of wine and food.
The Divine Eye Demon King and Cangkong are both immortals, and one of the two is a person who made a name for himself thousands of years ago, and the other can also be regarded as a genius from the Lion Camel Ridge, each with their own strengths, and the recognition is to say that the Tao is said and talked about, and they can also interject some words, as early as a few days ago, they were recognized by Zeng Shan and Wen Zhen, so they were allowed to be in the same column today, and entered a room with Liang Qing and others, and made a table.
And the rest of the people are not very strong, so naturally it is impossible for them all to sit together, so they were taken by the vulture to another room, but they also gladly accepted it, and they didn't have any ideas.
"Brother Zeng Shan, you killed the strongest true immortal among the younger generation of the human race, and now you are not only the first genius of the younger generation of the demon race, but the first among the younger generation of the world, why don't you look very happy?" At the wine table, Wen Zhen saw that Zeng Shan was still not very excited, and immediately asked.
"Hehehe, the first among the younger generation of the human race?" Zeng Shan shook and sighed: "That kid is not the first, and even the first fifty may not be able to enter." ”
"How so?" everyone was amazed and unconvinced.
At this time, Zeng Shan spoke: "You are because you are in the territory of the demon clan. On weekdays, I don't know much about the affairs of the human race, and I don't know the power of the Tang Kingdom, but our Donghua Emperor has settled in the East China Sea, I know a little bit about the strength of the Tang Kingdom, but I don't dare to look down on the Tang Kingdom anyway. ”
Everyone has heard that the Terran Tang Dynasty is strong. However, it is unknown how strong it is, so when he heard Zeng Shan say this at this moment, he immediately became interested, and Wen Zhen immediately said: "Brother Zeng Shan, then you tell us what the Tang Kingdom is like." ”
Zeng Shan nodded and said, "The Tang Dynasty controls seven of the thirteen continents in the world. Because there are monks who regulate feng shui, the wind and rain have been smooth for thousands of years, and the food is abundant, so the population has grown extremely fast, and now the population has exceeded 8 billion. There are about 60 million or 70 million babies born every year. ”
"Eight billion!" Liang Qing was completely shocked by just one population number, you must know that the population of the earth in the previous life was only six billion, which was not as large as the population of the Great Tang Kingdom in this world.
At this time, Zeng Shan continued: "In Datang, all five-year-old children will be checked every year for their cultivation qualifications, and once they have cultivation qualifications, they will be registered by the royal family, as long as they are naturalized. You can enter the lower monasteries opened by the Tang Kingdom in each county for free.
The lower monasteries not only have free study, but also have subsidies, plus the monks have a great future. Therefore, in Datang, ordinary families, as long as they find that their children have cultivation qualifications, they will basically be sent to the lower Taoist academies to study, and only a few children of the family will teach themselves at home.
But whether it is sent to a lower-level Taoist academy or taught by himself at home, it is in Datang anyway. As long as you have the qualifications to practice, almost all of them will embark on the path of cultivation. ”
Hear that. Liang Qing and the others couldn't help but be shocked again, and Wen Zhen exclaimed: "Even if one out of a hundred people has cultivation qualifications. Wouldn't the Tang Dynasty increase the number of monks by six or seven hundred thousand every year?"
Zeng Shan shook his head and said: "The descendants of monks, those with cultivation qualifications may be higher, there are more and more cultivators in Datang, and those with cultivation qualifications are not one out of a hundred, but one out of fifty or sixty people, so Datang will give birth to millions of children with cultivation qualifications every year."
In addition, the remaining children who have not been able to enter the Taoist academy will also send them to practice martial arts, although it is more difficult to break through martial arts than cultivation, but there is also an opportunity to rely on the breakthrough of martial arts to re-enter the path of cultivation, under the huge base, a large number of monks will still be born among the martial arts practitioners in the Tang Dynasty every year, so the annual increase in monks in the Tang Dynasty will be about 1.2 million. ”
"Isn't it said that the monks of the Tang Dynasty are already hundreds of millions?" asked the Divine Eye Demon King in surprise.
Zeng Shan nodded and said, "Because the lifespan of monks is longer than that of ordinary people, in fact, the number of monks of the Tang Dynasty has exceeded 300 million. ”
"Three hundred million!" muttered to the God-Eyed Demon King with some distraction.
This is a shocking number, before the Divine Eye Demon King was imprisoned, the heavens and the earth were not so big, there were only four continents, and then all the human races added up to less than 300 million, but I didn't expect to be locked up for more than a thousand years, and the number of human monks exceeded 300 million, and the Divine Eye Demon King suddenly found that even if he recovered the Taiyi True Immortal Cultivation, in this world, I am afraid that he can only be a man with his tail between his legs.
Liang Qing had been a king, and he knew how huge the resource consumption of cultivating a monk was, and when he heard this, he was surprised, and then he had doubts, so he asked: "With so many monks, even if the Tang Dynasty is rich in resources, I am afraid that they will not be able to support it!"
Cangkong also said: "Yes, even a force like Lion Camel Ridge can only raise a million demons, even if the total number of monsters in the mountains is not more than three million, the human race can't support more than eight billion people in the land of seven continents, and 300 million monks, now I'm afraid that it is consuming resources in transition, and it will not last, and it won't take long for the human race to be in chaos." ”
Wen Zhen also said: "Cultivation needs the support of resources such as aura and five elements essence, even if the qualifications are excellent, if there are no sufficient resources, it is difficult to break through, the human race has raised so many monks, and the resources are so dispersed, then the overall strength will inevitably be pulled down, and it will be difficult to produce masters."
A monk under the 100 million Golden Pill period is difficult to reach a heavenly immortal, and although the human race has 300 million monks, it is not to be feared. ”
Zeng Shan shook his head and said: "There is a matter of transitional consumption of resources by the human race now, but it is difficult to produce masters, and now above the Jindan period of the human race, there are only a lot more masters at each level than the demon race."
Moreover, there are many smart people in the human race, so they can naturally see that the land of the seven continents of the human race cannot raise so many people, let alone so many monks, and they also know that the human race will not be able to go on like this, so they will naturally deal with it. ”
"War!" Liang Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he spit out two words.
Zeng Shan nodded and said, "Yes, it is to launch a victory with our demon clan." If you can win, it is excellent to occupy a few continents, even if you don't win, as long as you consume some of the monks in the human race, it can also relieve great pressure, and you can also use war to divert various domestic contradictions, so for today's Datang, it is imperative to start a war.
