"Lord, no matter how populous or large a city is, the range it can radiate is limited.
Why don't we roll out a network as before, with the city as the core, the town as the node, and the village as the basis, and firmly hold the entire Henan in our hands?
Only in this way can we make perfect use of Henan's mines, forests, and spiritual fields without causing waste."
Li Mo thought about it and raised his question.
“As the population of a city increases, its governance will become more complex and more and more problems will arise.
Although we now have the means and ability to solve these problems, it is not worth it.
After all, it’s not about whether something can be done, but whether it’s worth doing.”
"I am very clear about your doubts. I just have this idea now. The details have not been determined yet. Anyway, Ning'an can continue to increase its population before reaching the million level, right?"
"right."
"Then we still have time to discuss. Furthermore, whether it is gathering or dispersing, it requires construction and grassroots officials, right?"
"right."
"Then we need to make reserves in these two aspects, and make them more intensively, because talents are the foundation of a territory, and only a large enough base can support so many workshops, so many industries, and so many armies in the territory.
Build this huge level.”
"Yes, there is no dispute about this, it is beyond doubt."
Li Yan and Li Mo nodded in unison and said.
"Okay, since the general direction is fine, you can listen to my thoughts."
Fang Fan smiled gently and continued.
"Villages, towns, and cities form a network to cover the earth, and they are governed by it. This is a practice from ancient times to the present. It is a system that has been perfected by countless talented people over thousands of years, and the basis for its birth is
——The human race is the overlord and rules the entire earth, so this system is needed."
"In addition to this, another crucial point is that the carrying capacity of the land is limited. One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. That is because the ecological chain of a mountain cannot support two top hunter tigers. If we force it, we will only starve to death. Without
Any other possibility.
The same is true for people. People need to eat and survive by hunting in ancient times. This created the tribal era.
With the birth of slash-and-burn farming and domesticated livestock, tribes gathered and turned into cities.
With the increase in food production and the development of transportation, the gathering places of human beings are becoming larger and larger.
From Chang'an, a city with a population of one million transported by horse-drawn carriages in ancient times, to today's major cities of north, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, transported by cars and trains.
In the tribal era, when the scale was hundreds, do you dare to imagine a million people living together in a city?
In the feudal era, do you dare to imagine 10 million people living together in one city?
Facts have proved that the size of cities continues to expand with the increase of productivity, the complexity and sophistication of production, do you think there is a problem with this?"
The two shook their heads.
"no problem."
"Okay, let's take a look at the current situation again.
First of all, do you think that for now, the human race is the hegemon in the entire natural environment and the entire ecological chain?"
This was a serious question. Li Yang immediately fell silent after hearing it. Li Yan and Li Mo's lips moved, but they didn't make a sound for a long time.
After taking a moment, Fang Fan continued.
"What is an overlord?
Overlord is, even if it is the most powerful predator in nature, humans only need to use the most common weapon, a submachine gun.
There is nothing that one person and one submachine gun cannot solve with Tutu Tutu. If there is, then Tu Tu Tu Tu will do it again. This is called overlordship.
Although I don’t want to talk about my pathetic self-confidence, I still have to admit that the human race is no longer the overlord of the earth, and it can even be said to be in danger.
For now, any of the ten top races can influence the life and death of the human race.
The absolute pinnacle, the absolute pinnacle, and there is no absolute pinnacle in the human race."
The atmosphere in the room became more depressing, and the depressed person's chest felt tight, but Fang Fan continued.
"Once the Ten Ultimate Peaks are born, the birth and death of our Ning'an and the continuation of our human race can only be determined by someone else's thoughts.
If you are in a good mood, destroy the human race to relieve your boredom; if you are in a bad mood, destroy the human race to provide food.
Of course, there may be a few left in cages to show their status, for viewing, and classified as first-level protected animals.”
The curve of Fang Fan's mouth was filled with a hint of sarcasm, and his words were like a knife, piercing his heart and drawing blood.
"Okay, let's not talk about the ones that are too depressing. We are a little more ostrich, and our vision is a little short, and we can't see the top. After all, they are too high, maybe they can't see us?
Let's talk about the innate mutant beasts in the mountains and forests, the kind of innate mutant beasts that are not races and rely on blood or chance for achievement.
There are a lot of these mutated beasts, there are six or seven in the Qinling Mountains alone, there must be some in the Yangtze River, and there are countless in the sea.
They are just innate, well, I can kill them at will, but to what extent are their strengths?
Ordinary people can already be ignored, and the scattered army has nothing to do with them.
What can threaten them?
As of now, there are only two, a third-level army of ten thousand people with intermediate generals and relatives.
The military soul summoned in this way can barely reach the sixth level of innate level, which can compete with the innate mutant beast.
Maybe the army is stronger, or the generals are stronger and can kill the sixth-level mutant beast.
Leaving aside the legions for now, how many generals are there?
I can tell you that including the Emperor Star and the first sequence, there are a total of 365 contractable stars, one carrot and one pit.
There can only be 365 generals in the world at the same time. Is that many?
If we classify it according to that kind of village, town, or city, will it be enough points? Answer me."
Li Mo opened his mouth and found that his lips were a little dry and stuck together.
"not enough."
"Yes, it's not enough. Then why do we have to implement it? Do we want the world to become rampant with demons, demons destroying a city, and demons devouring a country become a part of daily life?"
"no!"
Li Yang's face was ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words.
"Yes, no, but no matter how powerful Ning'an is, how many places can it protect if spread out?
If nothing else, let’s just say now, if an innate-level mutant beast appears and attacks Jianye, what will happen? Who will stop it?
I have to go, but what will Jianye face before I arrive?
Are tens of thousands dead or only tens of thousands left?
No matter what it is, it is not the result we want to see or face.
Moreover, an innate and a legion guardian only face the lowest innate mutant beast.
At most, their existence can guarantee basic safety. If the mutated beasts summon their friends like what is written in fantasy novels, the city will be destroyed and the human race will be turned into blood. There will be no luck at all."
Fang Fan's cold words echoed in their ears, giving them a blow to the head who were a little proud and a little inflated.
Yes, they are the first city of the human race, and they are the most powerful territory of the human race.
But this has never been an internal struggle among the human race, this has never been a struggle for hegemony among the Three Kingdoms, this is...
