Chapter 114: 'On Overall Arrangement of Population Size'

After completing the topic of the paper, Xu Guo's college life returned to peace, which continued until he graduated from college in 1954.

Of course, it can also be said that this calmness is only for Xu Guo himself. In the more than a year before he graduated, the first national census data came out. Niu Shouzhuo wrote the research direction preset in the opening report "Issues on the Development of Productivity and Population Coordination" based on these data and the data he obtained from the agricultural port in advance.

Of course, the final title is not called this, but "On the Coordination of Population Size". The reason for this name is entirely because Xu Guo always visited Principal Niu's house. During the chat, he proposed that the title of this article must be completely separated from the "On Population" written by British economist and demographer Malthus in 1798.

As for the reason, of course, it is because the system currently implemented by China is completely different from the one in the Western empire. We are reconstructing our management logic from the bottom. If we directly quote or construct the theory based on "Population Theory", the nature of the camp will be incorrect.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Niu Shouzhu listened to Xu Guo's opinion, completely abandoned the "Popularity Theory" from the underlying logic of the writing, spoke completely with the most basic data, and did not quote the Western opinions at all.

Of course, there is no fundamental change in the content and content of the substance, because many theoretical deductions are based on data and data analysis. The development laws of things are like this, and they are not different logics in different worlds. Of course, the content written is similar to the original appearance.

To put it more specifically, "On the Coordinated Population Scale" demonstrates the necessity of coordinating population growth rate to control population size from several aspects such as how to improve the speed of capital accumulation, accelerate the development of science and technology, improve the cultural level of the whole people, improve the material living standards of the whole people, improve the productivity of labor, and increase industrial production raw materials.

If we divide it into specific points, we can summarize it into the following points.

1. The growth rate of population and the accumulation of funds are somewhat contradictory. Although there are many people and great power, China's resources are limited. Only a suitable population size can use these resources with the most appropriate consumption and accelerate the accumulation of capital.

2. The social form pursued by China must improve labor productivity. Only by doing more large industries and agricultural electrification and mechanization can high-speed industrialization be promoted.

If the population grows in disorder, in order to resettle these people's employment, the country will have to engage in small and medium-sized industries, and agriculture can only absorb the excess working population after returning to the traditional operating model.

3. Excessive population growth will lead to the need for more land for the production of grain. By then, China will not be able to free up land to plant cash crops such as cotton, long gowns, soybeans, peanuts and other cash crops. Without these cash crops, there is no way to start a large-scale light industry.

If light industry cannot be established in large quantities, China's export form will be as single as before. If the country does not receive funds, it will not be able to import complete sets of heavy industrial equipment, which will affect the development of heavy industry.

4. It has been clearly reflected in the first statistical survey report that the per capita arable land in China is less than three acres. If large-scale land reclamation cannot be achieved, the population growth must be matched with the growth of per mu yield, otherwise the problems encountered in the future may become increasingly difficult to solve.

5. To increase the size of the educated population, the article also pointed out in particular that the development of large industries must require sufficient educated population, and the development of a coordinated economy also requires a large number of educated management staff at the bottom.

If the population is allowed to grow, and only increase the overall population size without increasing the size of the educated population, the goal of national industrialization will inevitably be hindered.

When this article of more than 100,000 words was first published, Niu Shouzhuo asked Xu Guo to read it. As for the reason, of course, Principal Niu felt that this article was written under the inspiration of Xu Guo, so it was necessary for the initiator to understand what the final product looked like.

Unexpectedly, after reading it, Xu Guo was arrogant and wanted to help him revise the paper. If Niu Shouzhe hadn't been well-educated enough, he might have driven him out immediately.

Two days later, Niu Shouzhuo took back his paper and the revision suggestions written by Xu Guo from Xu Guo. After careful reading, he found that Xu Guo had not revised the revision opinions on the substantive content of the paper at all. Instead, he wrote a bunch of basic theories of the social form pursued by China in scattered manner, and used these theories as the basic criterion for deriving the paper.

At first glance, the additions by Xu Guojia were like patches on a new piece of clothing, which seemed out of place. For a moment, Niu Shouzhuo wanted to tear off these draft papers of the modification opinions.

Seeing that the principal's face was really ugly, Xu Guo quickly said.

"Principal, I know that the revisions I wrote are really a bit stiff, but in a hurry, I can only do this.

Of course, these additions are a bit stiff, actually just a small problem. There are many capable people in our school. At that time, we can find a few professors who are proficient in social form theory and give them some suggestions and they can be repaired and round.

The main reason is that I personally think that the current international environment has been divided into two large groups. Since we, China, have chosen the team, the theories we have built must clearly define the characteristics of this group.

In this way, our theory can avoid unnecessary trouble in actual implementation. After all, if we cannot express our position clearly, some people will think that you are making a name for another team, or even think that you are interfering with the development of the team for another team.

The personal temporary honor and disgrace are secondary. It would be a pity if the theories you worked hard to build were not actually applied because of these misunderstandings. Because it would not only be your personal loss, but also China's loss!"

Xu Guo’s words are really sincere. He not only analyzes gains and losses from Niu Shouzhuo’s personal standpoint, but also from the perspective of China.

Although Niu Shouzhuo felt that this was a bit too careful, from past experience, once a camp dispute was involved, it would not be too careful, so he decided to accept the modification suggestions given by Xu Guo.

"I don't know how to say you are good, you came from Xiangjiang, but you are even more cautious than me, the old man.

Forget it, just follow yours. I will go to find a few old guys to help me see it tomorrow and modify it carefully. Otherwise, if you copy it like this, you will be able to show you a joke to others."
