Chapter 95: Three Major Policies
In the room, Yi Chen was practicing.
At the sixth level of Spirit Law, his absorption of spirit energy had clearly accelerated greatly.
Spirit energy within a radius of over thirty meters flowed toward him.
Knock, knock, knock!
Suddenly, a sound came from the door.
The Little Gold Ball, who was counting the number of hairs with great patience, jumped up.
With a swish, he quickly reached the door.
He opened the door.
Outside stood the anxious high priest.
“Clan leader, I hope I’m not interrupting your practice?”
“What’s the matter?”
Yi Chen opened his eyes and paused his training.
“Well… it’s like this. After the Yunxia Tribe members merged into the valley, there are nearly two thousand children under fourteen years old in the valley.
“Besides the toddlers, these children spend all day roving around in the valley and causing trouble. They even sneak out together or climb cliffs, which is extremely dangerous and troublesome.”
The high priest looked at Yi Chen’s expression and explained cautiously, “Moreover, children are the future of the tribe. We must cultivate their skills from a young age so that they can help the clan leader expand territory and conquer in the future.”
“After thinking it over, I plan to build a larger courtyard in front of the tribe’s settlement and name it an academy. We should gather all the children who are a bit sensible to learn writing and various skills, what do you think…?”
“Sounds good!”
Yi Chen nodded.
His expression seemed calm, but inside, he began to look at the high priest with new eyes.
Education, reproduction, livelihood, and systems were four major directions he intended to promote after breaking through to a new major realm.
He hadn’t expected the high priest to come up with one of them early.
The high priest felt relieved.
He continued, “Additionally, clan leader, you once asked me how tribe members could earn spirit stones after the Yunxia Tribe merged into the valley, given that various positions would be insufficient. After pondering, I believe I have a feasible method.”
“Let’s hear it!”
Yi Chen signaled him to go on.
The high priest cleared his throat, organized his thoughts, and introduced:
“I suggest opening a clearing in the center of the tribe. This would allow tribe members to make some tools and handmade crafts to exchange spirit stones with other tribe members.”
“Furthermore, once the number of Spirit Law tribe members in the guard team increases, they will be able to search the surrounding areas of the valley to eliminate threats from the fake gods of the Yunxia Tribe.
“The tribe members can also venture outside the valley to gather various wild fruits, hunt fierce beasts, and collect spirit mines to trade for spirit stones with the tribe or to exchange spirit stones with other tribe members who need these resources in the cleared area.”
“Sure!”
Yi Chen felt a surge of joy.
It seemed this high priest had received guidance from someone wise!
He had not only thought of establishing an academy but also of creating a trading market to address current issues concerning people’s livelihoods!
“If the clan leader has no further orders, I will now prepare these two matters?”
The high priest felt reassured.
“Later, allocate one thousand spirit stones from the warehouse as a reward.”
Yi Chen was in a good mood.
“Thank you for your generous reward, clan leader!”
The high priest felt ecstatic inside.
He had come with the mindset of seeking no credit but hoping for no mistakes.
He never imagined he would actually earn a reward.
This undoubtedly showed that the clan leader highly appreciated his two major suggestions.
He would make sure to spend some quality time with his son later.
This boy’s mischievous ideas had surprisingly helped him earn the clan leader’s reward for the first time.
“Regarding your academy, make some changes. Don’t just enroll children who are somewhat sensible. You should also accept newborns or toddlers learning to speak. They can be gathered separately and given supervision, with the timing determined by their parents.”
“The entire academy, all expenses will be covered by the tribe.”
Yi Chen decided to tackle the issue of reproduction as well.
“Additionally, issue a government decree. From now on, for every newborn in the tribe, the family will receive three hundred spirit stones.”
“Understood!”
The high priest was a bit surprised, unable to grasp why Yi Chen would suddenly announce such a decree, which required spending a large number of spirit stones and seemed rather inexplicable.
Wasn’t there enough mischief from the tribe’s children?
However, the old rule stood.
The clan leader’s orders were to be obeyed without question.
It was best to understand it later; if not, just follow along in a daze.
“Go on!”
Yi Chen waved his hand.
Once the high priest left, he quickly re-entered his meditative state.
Seeing that he wasn’t going out, the Little Gold Ball timidly crawled back, counting the golden fur with little energy.
Its math skills were not great; a handful of golden fur could yield dozens of different counts by the end of the day, which brought it endless joy.
…
“I feel like Yi Chen is a bit excessive; he treats the tribe’s women as mere tools for reproduction.”
“Exactly! With this decree, women are all busy having babies for three hundred spirit stones.”
In the live room, female viewers stood on the opposing side of Yi Chen for the first time.
“Perhaps Yi Chen thinks the tribe’s population is simply too low.”
“This is the Primitive Era; Yi Chen didn’t impose strict rules requiring women to have a child every two to three years, and it would be quite harsh to punish them for not doing so.”
“Right, plus Yi Chen has also set up a care system similar to daycares and kindergartens at the academy.”
“And the care time can be chosen freely, whenever and however long parents want, all for free. This solves the problem of women in the tribe having to take care of their children.”
“The reward of three hundred spirit stones is also outrageous. You must know that ordinary tribe members earn only ten spirit stones a month for transporting goods, delivering messages, or building houses.”
“This means that as long as a woman has a child every two years, her income will exceed that of ordinary men.”
“High income means what? It means an elevated status.”
“While Yi Chen’s reward and punishment measures may not change the deeply ingrained concept of male superiority over female in the Primitive Era, at least they will significantly enhance the status of women.”
The male viewers in the live room instead felt that Yi Chen’s decision would greatly elevate the status of women in the tribe in the future.
“Look at the high priest, so small-minded; after receiving a thousand spirit stones, he’s showing off everywhere, claiming they were given to him by Yi Chen.”
“Poor Lou Xing; in his desire for his father to be successful, he has exhausted every brain cell and resorted to childish tricks.”
“This old man has no idea how many are plotting to rise around him; his good days are numbered.”
“He’s lucky to have met Yi Chen, who reminisces about the past and gave him a gifted son as a protective charm for his future. And this clever son not only becomes his protective charm but is also capable of helping him strategize now.”
As Yi Chen resumed his training, the audience in the live room quickly shifted their attention back to the high priest.
The high priest, having received Yi Chen’s reward for the first time, was clearly overly excited and was bragging around the tribe.
