Original God: The Eternal Lord of Bliss

"You?" Zhu Yuncheng was stunned. "What do you mean by that? What do you mean a farmer's family will always be farmers?"

Zhu Xie said bluntly: "Am I wrong again? Farmers are called farmers because they have the technology to grow rice and wheat. It is because they master this technology and pass it on to their children that they can remain farmers for their entire lives."

Zhu Yuncheng sneered: "You mean, the Hunter family will always be Hunters, and the Textile family will always be Textile households? The Immortal Disciple family will always be Immortal Disciple?"

"That's right." Zhu Xie nodded, "Only in this way can we ensure the happiness and well-being of the people of Guiliji. If everyone is like you, using their free time to do other things, wouldn't social order be in chaos?"

"Why is there such chaos?" Zhu Yuncheng controlled his inner anger. He hoped to use this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Guiliji's current situation.

"Although farmers don't need to cultivate in winter, they still need to check the snow conditions in their fields regularly. If they are hired elsewhere, who will check the fields?"

Zhu Yuncheng retorted: "But there is more than one person in a farmer's household. Does everyone have to go to the fields?"

"Oh." Zhu Xie laughed. "Most of the farmers in Guiliji are families of five or six people, and their grandparents are all over sixty years old. Do you dare to let them come here to work? Children start to learn to read and write at the age of ten, graduate at the age of fifteen, and then learn planting techniques from their parents. They marry and have children at the age of thirty and then inherit their parents' land to start planting. It's not just farmers, hunters, textile workers, and herbalists are basically like this. How can they have free time?"

Let me add here that, given the physical condition of ordinary humans in Teyvat, they will begin to lose their ability to work after the age of 55, and by the age of 60 they have basically lost all ability to work.

The average age of ordinary humans here is between sixty-three and sixty-six years old.

Zhu Yuncheng thought: "Does every family only have one child?"

Zhu Xie frowned: "What else can we do?"

"Why can't we have more children?" Zhu Yuncheng was speechless.

Ning Kuan was surprised: "Why do we need to have more children? Isn't it enough to have one child to inherit the family business? Both men and women can farm, weave and hunt. Even for families like Xianren Student Family and Zhuxie Family, which need a large number of people to protect and teach the people of Guiliji, they only have more children for the first, second, third and third generations, and only one child until now."

Zhu Yuncheng: “…”

Yes, why should we have more children? We don’t have to worry about food and clothing now, so just one child will be enough. It will be difficult to raise more than one child.

No, that's not right!

Zhu Yuncheng suddenly realized a very serious problem. If Zhu Xie’s words were true, the population of Guiliji would become smaller and smaller in the future.

Secondly, the demons and immortals don’t seem to have this awareness. They just want humans to live a better life and don’t care about human reproduction.

This must change, and it is urgent.

If nothing changes, in a few hundred years, all the people in Guiliji will probably die out!

He immediately said: "Having an extra child can allow him to learn other skills. For example, a hunter can have an extra child learn farming or textile technology. Even if he can't learn, he can sell his labor when he grows up, and the food problem can be solved. The people of the Salt God use salt to exchange for cloth, so why can't we use cloth or currency to exchange for food?"

"That's easy to say. Are you going to teach them?" Zhu Xie shook his head.

"Can't farmers and hunters over 60 years old be taught?" Zhu Yuncheng's words angered Zhu Xie. He stood up angrily and said, "Education is the responsibility given to our family by the immortal. Zhu Yuncheng, as a disciple of the immortal, do you want to go against the immortal's teachings?"

Zhu Yuncheng was not polite either: "Your family only teaches reading and literacy, and doesn't care about other things!"

"What are you arguing about? I can hear it from a distance." At this time, Master Liuyun appeared in the form of a crane.

"Master!" "Greetings to Master Liuyun."

The three of them saluted immediately.

"Why are you arguing?" Liu Yun asked in a cold voice. In her opinion, Zhu Xie and Ning Kuan were Zhu Yuncheng's subordinates and should obey his instructions. Why were they arguing?

Zhu Yuncheng immediately summarized the discussion about learning to Liu Yun.

Liu Yun was silent for a moment, and did not answer directly, but said: "It's getting late, Yun Cheng, come back with me to rest, you guys should go too."

When Zhu Yuncheng heard Liu Yun say this and understood the latter's attitude, he became anxious.

Liu Yun seemed to have sensed what Zhu Yuncheng was about to say, so he used his magical power to seal his mouth and lifted him up to

Behind his back, then spread his wings and flew away.

Ning Kuan stared at the scene in amazement: "Did I see it wrong? Zhu Xie, Master Liu Yun actually let the director sit on her back?"

Zhu Xie snorted coldly and turned away.

Zhu Yuncheng's mouth was sealed and he could not speak until he returned to Aozang Mountain and was freed by Liu Yun, who had transformed into a human form.

Liu Yun did not wait for him to speak, she added: "Yun Cheng, I know you are smart and always have some unheard of ideas and methods, but that does not mean that all methods are feasible. Speaking of today's debate, a farmer only needs to have one child to ensure that they have food and clothing for life. Why should they have more children to learn other skills? What's the point?"

Zhu Yuncheng said seriously: "Master, let's make an analogy. If a farmer has only one daughter, and when she grows up, she marries another farmer's son, what will happen to the girl's farmland?"

Liu Yun snorted: "How could this immortal know such a thing?"

Zhu Yuncheng was stubborn: "Master, you don't know. I will explain it to you today. Assuming both parties have three mu of land, they can only plant after marriage. The land is combined, and the man and woman cultivate six mu of land together. The rice they get can support the next generation and their parents. If the woman's three mu of land is abandoned, there is no way to support her elderly."

Liu Yun thought about it and felt that what his disciple said made sense: "What else?"

Seeing that Liu Yun had been persuaded by him, Zhu Yuncheng continued, "Master, let me continue to assume that the couple gave birth to a boy. When the boy grows up, will he inherit the family's six acres of land? However, one person can only cultivate three acres of land at most, so the remaining three acres will have to be left uncultivated?"

Liu Yun thought to himself that his disciple seemed to be making a lot of sense.

Zhu Yuncheng struck while the iron was hot: "Three mu of land wasted means 1,500 kilograms of rice wasted. If there are more such cases, more and more fields will be abandoned, and the grain output will decrease, which will be a trade-off.

In the future, the amount of rice circulating in the markets of Guili will decrease, so the amount of rice that hunters and weavers can exchange for will become less and less. In a few years, I am afraid that except for farmers, weavers and hunters will have no rice to eat!"

Liu Yun frowned. According to Zhu Yuncheng's words, it would probably become a reality in a few hundred years!

The immortals, demons and gods are so simple-minded that they will agree with anything that is beneficial to mankind.

Seeing Liu Yun wavering, Zhu Yuncheng made the final move: "Master, it is very simple to solve this problem. All we need to do is ask the Emperor to order more residents of Guiliji to live. This way, there will be extra people to learn farming, hunting, and weaving skills, so that we can obtain more resources."

Liu Yun nodded and transformed into a crane: "Come on, follow me to see the Emperor."
