However, Su Fan didn't want to do this. He could indeed stay like this for hundreds or even thousands of years, but by then, the world would still be on the same old path.

The aristocratic families are greedy, and the fate of the feudal dynasty is inevitable. In terms of land, the carrying capacity is limited.

It is true that Kyushu is very large, but without the development by the imperial court, the land carrying capacity for the development of Kyushu alone is actually limited.

Today's productivity and population of hundreds of billions are already at their very limit.

Different from the Great Qin era, the productivity of the Great Qin era was much stronger than that of the Liu Han court, and the yield per mu was even double or triple what it is now.

Therefore, Da Qin's population of hundreds of billions is not a burden at all, but a bonus.

But the Liu Han court was different.

Seventy percent of the money and food are in the hands of those aristocratic families. Unlike the Great Qin era, the Great Qin court controlled 70% of the money and food.

Once there is any natural disaster, the court and officials can quickly go to deal with the disaster. The cohesion and mobilization capabilities of the government are far beyond the Liu Han court.

Therefore, the Liu Han court is now at its end.

The previous methods only treated the symptoms but not the root cause.

Only by developing productivity and then continuously developing new land can the upper limit of population be raised. As for what to do when all Kyushu is developed.

Once Kyushu is truly developed and productivity is raised to the upper limit, the strength of the Kyushu human race will definitely be very strong at that time, and they will be able to leave Kyushu and go to the Three Realms of Prehistoric Times.

However, if you want to develop Kyushu to its limit, you need a strong government.

Not even Great Qin at that time could do it.

Of course, if Da Qin is given time and the cohesion of Da Qin, it is not impossible to develop Kyushu.

After all, as long as the First Emperor is in charge, officials in the world will not dare to slack off. The laws of Qin are no joke.

It can be said that the efficiency of officials in the Qin Dynasty was definitely at the pinnacle of all dynasties.

Da Qin was no ordinary feudal dynasty.

However, the Qin Dynasty is gone, and Liu Han is just a feudal dynasty. Although it has mysterious power, it is a pity that it still cannot stop the general trend.

Su Fan chose Zhang Jiao because he wanted to make some changes and see if he could avoid the shortcomings of the feudal dynasty.

A highly developed society may avoid a world like swallowing the stars. The more advanced the technology, the harder it will be for chaos to occur.

Unless there is some external crisis,

However, in Kyushu, external crises are also related to the integration of the world in the future, but to be honest, they actually have little to do with Kyushu.

After all, that crisis relied on the power of all beings in the three realms. Even the Liu Han court at the peak of Kyushu's development would not be able to help.

After all, at the peak of the Liu Han court, there were at most a few true immortals, or a Golden Immortal's Luck Golden Dragon. Such power was not comparable to that of a sect in Nanzhan Buzhou.

But if in the future, Kyushu technology can develop to a higher cosmic country that swallows the stars, it will be of great help.

But is this possible?

Su Fan was not sure that the population of a higher cosmic country was far beyond what Kyushu could reach. In terms of technology, only a population explosion would lead to a technological explosion.

Without enough population, it is definitely not that simple for technology to explode.

Historically, science and technology broke out during World War I and World War II. In addition to being catalyzed by the war, it was also because of the explosion of population.

Otherwise, the reason why European and American technology could not explode during the Ming and Qing Dynasties was because of population problems. There were also many wars in Europe at that time.

Population constraints are very important.

Nowadays, Kyushu has a population of hundreds of billions. If everyone is really literate, it will be different. But it is not easy to want everyone to be literate.

Even in later generations, there are still a large number of people who are illiterate, let alone this era.

But Su Fan needs to implement it. Taiping Dao has now implemented it. The disciples of Taiping Dao are completely literate, fully literate, and then comprehensively implement education.

Starting with Taipingdao, many believers in rural areas have gradually become literate.

Of course, this is not mandatory, it is completely voluntary. In the process of preaching, those Taiping Dao disciples guided farming and medical skills, and also taught the people how to read.

It's just that most people don't have this idea. They focus entirely on farming. They just think about preparing more fertilizer every day and think about how to increase the food in the fields.

There are not many people who are really knowledgeable, but there are some people who prefer their children to learn.

This group of believers are more valued by the disciples of Taiping Dao, and their descendants receive more guidance.

In the future, it will also become the focus of Taiping Dao, and even smart people will be recruited into Taiping Dao disciples.

Su Fan was very satisfied with Zhang Jiao's policy after hearing it.

Literacy education is very important. The earlier it is implemented, the faster the development of science and technology will be in the future.

Moreover, literate and illiterate army building are two different things.

Ordinary dynasty armies have limited elites, but an army that is literate and has talented students is completely different.

In the future, Taipingdao's army will also mainly use firearms or even current weapons.

It is true that the firearms of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were not good enough, but the weapons from World War I and World War II had a stable suppression on the troops of the Liu Han Dynasty in Kyushu.

Unless a large army led by a general like Lu Bu might pose a threat to them.

But if modern weapons such as fighter jets and tanks appear on a large scale, even if they are as powerful as Lu Bu, so what?

As long as someone stops these fierce generals, the remaining modern weapons can make the opponent's army unable to resist.

But these modern weapons are not within the reach of ordinary people.

It can be seen in the modern world that many countries in the Middle East and Africa have indeed purchased a lot of fighter planes, tanks, and even missiles.

However, their military strength is still not taken seriously by the big powers. First, their industrialization and logistics have no follow-up supplements.

Just like the Qing Dynasty in history faced the European and American powers. It had no industrialization and relied on buying guns. How could it be their opponent?

Secondly, the quality of the soldiers is too poor. They don't understand many operating principles at all. How can they make the best use of modern weapons by relying on rote memorization?

The firearms in Taipingdao are not enough for the moment, but those kinds of guns are actually very easy to improve. Su Fan only needs a little help, and they will soon reach the level of World War I and World War II.

The power of that kind of artillery is powerful, but it also has great requirements for the quality of artillerymen. Therefore, literacy is the foundation. After that, you need to learn all kinds of knowledge to maximize the power of the artillery.

All of this, Taiping Road has already begun, and Su Fan sees it. ()
