Chapter 312: Quality Route and Quantity Route_2

Even though we're mostly young people now, and there's no problem of unequal distribution, contradictions will only grow in the future.

"We can't significantly increase the population anymore."

"Expanding the population can still enhance our industrial strength... but the resources of a single Green Mountain will seem strained under the impact of a large population."

"The main contradiction at this stage is to find ways to raise the average level of the people to Level Three."

"Our children are all excellent... It's the quality of the population that counts, not the quantity."

This was a small epiphany Lu Yuan had.

The population had ballooned from 50,000 to 400,000 in about 50 years.

At this rate of expansion, in another 50 years, the population would become 3.2 million, and there would be even more talent, and military strength would be stronger.

Still, Lu Yuan resolved not to increase the population too much.
