The Fourth Financial Crisis

In the eyes of ordinary people on earth, the rule of the Haiya Sect is obviously more successful. Whether it is per capita GDP or residents' happiness index, Tianshu City lags significantly behind Haiya City.

However, because of the existence of spiritual root qualifications, the residents of the Kyushu cultivation world generally believe in the concept that "all people are created equal". Mortals have no social status at all. Therefore, the ruling method of the Mountain Eagle Sect is not necessarily wrong.

From the perspective of a cultivator, it is useless no matter how high the happiness of mortals is. Even an excessively high level of economic development will in turn suppress the overall birth rate of the population.

This is not conducive to the accumulation of merit by cultivators, nor is it conducive to local cultivation sects screening out more spiritual root holders.

However, the two different management styles of the Mountain Eagle Sect and the Haiya Sect are not due to the different values ​​​​upheld by the founders of the two sects. There are more profound historical and environmental factors behind them.

The soil and water support the people, and the same is true for the cultivation sect.

Thousands of years ago, the demonic beasts in Zhongzhou were far more powerful than they are now, and could even compete with the human race.

The Tianshu Mountains are the base camp of the monsters. The founder of the Mountain Eagle Sect established a sect in the center of the Tianshu Mountains, which is equivalent to driving a nail for the human race in the base camp of the monsters.

Almost every once in a while, Tianshu City will be attacked by monsters on a large scale. Even the super magic barrier in the outer city of Tianshu City has been breached by monsters more than ten times.

If the grassroots mobilization efficiency of Tianshu City is too low, the cultivators can still retreat back to the inner city and wait for help with the help of divine movement and light escape. However, I am afraid that the mortals will not have time to evacuate at all, and they will be slaughtered by the monsters. .

Because of this, during the century-long tug-of-war with the monsters, the Mountain Eagle Faction strengthened its management of the mortals in Tianshu City time and time again, eventually forming the strict urban management model of Tianshu City today.

Although the threat of monsters has long since disappeared, and all remaining monsters are huddled in nature reserves and do not dare to cause trouble, this unique urban management style has left a deep imprint on Tianshu City, which has not been completely eliminated to this day. .

Today's Mountain Eagle Sect can mobilize all the mortals in Tianshu City through a strict grassroots management system with just one order. This is completely unimaginable in Haiya City, which has a strong atmosphere of freedom.

On the other hand, Haiya City has been an important trading town since ancient times. Massive wealth has been deposited in this port city. Survival has never been a problem that the Haiya Sect needs to consider. How to quickly accumulate wealth and plunder cultivation resources is the top priority of Haiya City’s cultivation capitalists. Consider.

Therefore, the Haiya Sect has long formed a profit- and wealth-oriented governing philosophy. From the perspective of the Haiya Sect, which integrates politics and business, any redundant process system that hinders commercial trade should not exist.

In order to improve the economy, the Mountain Eagles have also been trying to make changes in recent years. Although the Mountain Eagles are still very strict in their management of mortals in the outer city, the management model of the inner city is very similar to that of Haiya City. Especially after Wuliang Sword Sect arranged Xiuzhenfang City in the southeastern coastal area of ​​Zhongzhou in Tianshu City, Tianshu City became a veritable commercial center of Xiuzhenfang, forming a unique industrial chain with Xiuzhenfang City as the core, and the commercial atmosphere became more and more popular. Rich hair.

However, Chen Ping did not go straight to Xiuzhenfang City in the inner city. Instead, he led Yang Lu into a remote uninhabited alley. Such uninhabited alleys can be found everywhere in the outer city, and there is no need to deliberately look for them.

Under Yang Lu's confused gaze, Chen Ping raised his hand and pinched out an immortal tactic, and an invisible wave of spiritual power quickly spread outward.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Ping slowly said: "I just used magic to detect it, and there should be no one following us. You can go to Fangshi for a walk later, and I'll go to Songjian Pavilion to check out our accommodation for the past two days. Let’s confirm it. Songjian Pavilion is the safest place to live in Tianshu City. During the Immortal Fate Meeting, its housing supply is extremely tight. I might have to use some of my old connections!"

"I am of low cultivation, will it be dangerous if we separate?"

Chen Ping smiled and waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Tianshu City has at least hundreds of Mountain Eagle Sect foundation-building monks in charge, and they are known for their strict management. As long as you keep a low profile, there will be no such thing in Tianshu City." What danger."

Yang Lu thought about it and it made sense.

When he first came to the Jiuzhou Cultivation World, he had already made a population model calculation for the Cultivation World.

In the case of one-in-a-thousand spiritual root qualifications, assuming that the population of the Haiya area is 8-10 million, and the number of participants in each Immortal Ascension Conference is 800,000, then an average of 800 new cultivators can be tested every five years.

Since monks in the Qi Refining Period account for the majority, assuming that the average natural lifespan of a cultivator is about 150 years old, and the average age of entering the immortal sect is 20 years old, based on this calculation, the natural total number of cultivators in the Haiya area should be 20,800.

This is without accidental deaths.

Assuming that the annual accidental mortality rate of cultivators is 0.7%, then the probability that a cultivator will live to the natural life limit after 130 years from entering the immortal gate at the age of 20 to running out of life at the age of 150 is about 40%.

This means that the average number of cultivators who die of natural causes in the Haiya area every year is about 64.

Considering that there are an average of 160 new cultivators in the Haiya area every year, this means that the number of cultivators who die accidentally every year can only be 96 at most in order to maintain the balance of the cultivator population.

And if the accidental mortality rate of 0.7% is calculated in reverse, the maximum population of cultivators in the Haiya area is about 13,700.

This number is almost the same as the current number of cultivators in the Haiya area, thus verifying the correctness of Yang Lu's population model. In other words, the annual accidental death rate among cultivators must be less than 0.7% in order to maintain the current population size.

Considering that 80% of the accidental deaths of cultivators occur in foreign battlefields and secret realms of the world, this means that under normal conditions, the annual accidental death probability of cultivators is only an extremely low level of 0.14%.

This means that, on average, you know 1,000 cultivators, and at most less than 2 cultivators will die unexpectedly in the next year. This probability is similar to the probability of death from cancer in the next year for ordinary adults on earth.

It is worth noting that this cultivator population model is very sensitive to input parameters. If the comprehensive annual accidental mortality rate of cultivators is increased to 2%, then the equilibrium population of cultivators in the Haiya area will be directly cut in half. Not only that, the per capita number of cultivators Life expectancy will plummet to less than 50 years old, even worse than ordinary people.

If the comprehensive annual accidental mortality rate of cultivators is increased to 10%, then the equilibrium population of the cultivator world will plummet to the original 12%, and the average cultivator will not live to be 30 years old.

If the Jiuzhou Cultivation World is full of murderers and treasure hunters, and cultivators die like wild dogs on the roadside, it will be difficult for the Jiuzhou Cultivation World to maintain its current population structure. I am afraid that even the foundation-building monks will not be able to exist.

Because this doesn’t work from the level of mathematical models!

Up to now, Yang Lu knew less than 50 cultivators, but in less than half a year, a killer from Tingheyuge died unexpectedly. This was considered a low-probability event.

Yang Lu was influenced by the Internet articles on the earth, and he always felt that there were people everywhere in the world of cultivation who wanted to kill him and seize the treasure. In addition, the appearance of the killer from Tinghe Yu Pavilion further strengthened his insecurity.

However, in the eyes of the natives of the Kyushu cultivation world, his insecurity is indeed a bit of persecution paranoia.

After all, there are not many healthy people on earth, and they worry about dying suddenly from cancer every day!

Chen Ping's nonchalant attitude was really not an act.

Even when Xu Yannan and Li Qingning asked Chen Ping to escort Yang Lu, they were only worried that someone would be unfavorable to him along the way, and did not feel that there would be any danger inside Tianshu City where monks were densely packed.
