Immortality, but people in primitive society

Chapter 486 You don’t like men either?

"No, you have no other choice. Why are you looking for me?" Bai Tian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Luo Bin stared at Bai Tian and said, "It's not that I can't help it, but I'm afraid you won't agree."

Bai Tian was confused: "What method..."

"You are the king."

Just these four words scared Bai Tian so much that his face turned green and he wished he could just run away.

Seeing Bai Tian's panicked look, Luo Bin couldn't help laughing, and Cang Shu was also very embarrassed.

Bai Tian's cheek twitched: "Don't do anything stupid, I can't do this kind of thing."

"Oh, the position of king can be vacant, it just needs a title." Luo Bin smiled, "I think it's quite suitable. You will never die. As long as you are here, this country will not be destroyed..."

"No!" Bai Tian quickly shook his head. "Even empty fame won't do. I can't do this kind of thing."

Cang Shu continued to persuade him: "In fact, your position as the king is only temporary. We still need to formulate more complete rules in the future to maintain gender equality..."

Before he could finish, Bai Tian shook his head decisively again: "I said no, it's no, there's no room for negotiation."

Are you kidding? If I were really tied up here, I would be finished.

He is Haotian, how can he be the ruler of a country? What will happen to the heavens and the three realms after that?

No matter how powerful this country is, it cannot be above the three realms.

Besides, he didn't want to lose his hair all the time. Even if he was just a nominal member, there would definitely be things to do. He also wanted to solve Ji Jun's problem and then return to the spirit world for a while.

Luo Bin suppressed her laughter and said softly, "Haotian, let's discuss the second solution we have come up with for the time being."

Bai Tian breathed a sigh of relief: "The second option, tell me about it."

Cang Shu took over the conversation: "It's related to ascension. I wonder if it's possible to connect ascension with the king, or even with the upper class."

Bai Tian frowned: "You mean, checks and balances?"

"Yes, we need to put some pressure on those in power and not let their inheritance be too natural. The issue of inheritance cannot be regulated by the law. There are too many loopholes. We can only rely on this kind of constraint that goes beyond the law." Cang Shu nodded.

During the day, he fell into deep thought. The issue of inheritance is truly complex. To put it bluntly, the issue of inheritance has existed since the beginning of human reproduction.

Even in tribal times, succession was always a major issue. Countless tribes were torn apart by the question of whether the clan leader's son could continue to be the clan leader.

This matter is really difficult to handle. It involves institutional issues and it is so frustrating that it makes people explode during the day.

Bai Tian quickly scratched his head and said, "I can't think of it. You should think about it yourself. My personal feeling is that we should start with the system to ensure equality for everyone. Then, weaken the position of the king and let the inner court have the final say... But I don't understand these things."

Cang Shu said helplessly: "We have all thought about this. It is very difficult to truly achieve equality for all. Especially after cultivation, the gap in people's strength is too huge..."

"Then there's nothing I can do now." Bai Tianduan was depressed. "I can't give you an answer to the question of ascension right now. I still need to go east, and it might take years to confirm it."

I’m not sure whether Ascension Island can really solve the problem during the day.

It looks pretty good so far, but what if it doesn’t work?

Bai Tian thought for a moment and then said, "Cang Shu, go back and discuss with Ji Jun. The method of selecting talents may need to be changed. No longer limited to selecting talents from the family. Everyone should have a chance as long as they pass the assessment. Moreover, family members must also pass the assessment before entering the inner court."

"I think this way, the family won't become too powerful, and it can also solve the issue of inheritance to a certain extent."

Cang Shu pondered, "You mean to solve the problem from the root, not just limit it to the inheritance issue."

Bai Tian nodded slightly. "Inheritance is only a superficial issue. It is actually a derivative of the family system. For example, your Ji family, although you have changed various names, you are still members of the Ji family after all. Your family is constantly growing. As this family becomes larger and larger, the weight of its words will increase, and the issue of inheritance will naturally become more obvious."

Rich and powerful country gentry, this problem will arise sooner or later, and there is no way to truly solve it...

Bai Tian continued, "To solve the problem, what I can think of right now is to give everyone as many opportunities as possible, especially to discipline family members and force them to take a fair approach. Then, disperse the family as much as possible. In this way, the succession problem will gradually weaken."

"Regarding the issue of men and women, the only thing I can think of is the law. Through the law, we can ensure equality between men and women. But this is a very sensitive issue. If we're not careful, extreme thoughts may emerge, and those with ulterior motives may very well take advantage of this..."

During the day, I really felt that many of the issues I mentioned were too advanced.

Before the capital was even established, various equality issues had already arisen. The key point was that he really didn't know how to deal with these problems.

To put it bluntly, the conflict between men and women cannot be perfectly resolved as long as women still give birth to children...

Luo Bin's eyes swirled as she asked, "Haotian, do you think there's a way for men to have children?"

Bai Tianyi pulled out a punch and looked at her extremely strangely: "You don't like men either?"

"Eh? Ah, no, what I mean is that if men can also give birth to children, then there will really be gender equality..." Luo Bin was a little panicked, her cheeks slightly red.

Bai Tian shrugged and said, "Yes, it's through power. However, it's very difficult. It takes hundreds of years to conceive a child."

"Oh, forget it, let women give birth to babies." Luo Bin sighed.

Cang Shu pondered, "The issue of having children really reminds me. Haotian, since the cultivation began, the population of Jiuzhou has been declining. And I've found that the higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to have children. You said that after the longevity path matures..."

Before he could finish, Bai Tian nodded. "I think it's going to get harder and harder to have children in the future. This might be a kind of balance. I can't explain it specifically right now, but I have a good feeling. If you think about it, people will live longer and longer in the future, then having children will definitely get harder and harder."

"Then we can start from this aspect." Cang Shu's eyes sparkled, "Use having children to control inheritance and control the family... I need to think about it, I need to think carefully..."

Starting from childbirth? So cruel?

Of course, he couldn't say much during the day, after all, he didn't really understand these things. He just felt that Kyushu's development was really advanced, and the various issues it was thinking about were already at the level of modern civilization.

Is it really appropriate to be so ahead of the times?

I was worried during the day, but I didn't know how to change things. Jiuzhou was positioned as the center of cultivation, and its thinking was destined to surpass that of other civilizations. However, this advancement could very well backfire on civilization's progress in the future...
