In a simple conversation at the wine table of the inn, the class system of Ratchet Town was preliminarily determined by Yang Yi.

In the future, the rank of the fishmen of the other clans that will join Ratchet Town has also been clarified. Except for Yang Yi's special designation, all of these foreign fishmen will be regarded as low-class pariahs, and they will only be allowed to engage in the lowliest jobs.

However, there are other questions that remain unresolved, such as which class the newborn fishmen of Ratchet will be divided into, and how to choose the role of the newborn fishmen in Ratchet Town.

In the clan of the Fishfish, the newborn Fisher is placed in the class of their parents, and is determined to inherit their parents' role in the clan from birth.

Because the newly-born Jinyu people are selected to directly inherit the class and role of their parents, the class society of the Jinyu tribe can be stabilized, and all the Jinyu people in the tribe can live and work in a step-by-step manner.

But when it comes to Ratchet Town, there is a problem, because with the current living habits of the fish-man clan, the little fish-man after birth cannot determine his biological father and mother.

Once a child cannot determine his or her biological parents, he or she cannot inherit the class and role of his parents. Such a class society, even if it is established, will not be stable and will soon collapse.

With the shorter lifespan and adult time of the Fish-People, the class system will collapse faster.

Yang Yi said this problem and told the old blind eye and thief's eye.

After hearing this, the thief's eyes widened wide, and he was stunned, obviously Yang Yi was shocked by this question.

Thief Eye was born and lived in the Blackfin Clan since she was a child, and although she is smarter than the average fishman, her fishman has never considered the problem of children, let alone how to make the children of fishmen determine their biological father and mother.

This is how the fish-people have lived and multiplied for generations, and all fish-people are accustomed to it, thinking that it is a matter of course, and probably never thought about it.

Besides, the eggs of the fish-man people are directly arranged in the rivers, lakes and seas, and there are so many fish-people in the water, how can you distinguish which fish-man fry or small fish-man in the water is born by yourself?

The old blind eye, who was sitting across from the thief's eye, had an idea about it, and the old blind man owned a "mansion" with a fish-man nursery pond like Cookie.

He also knows that Cookie and Chocolate are going to start a family and raise their fish fry in a nursery pond that belongs only to them.

Therefore, the old blind eye knew that there was a way to distinguish the fish fry he had born.

"But why should the fish-people go to the trouble of raising the fish-people they have born?" The old blind man spoke out the doubts in his heart.

This is not only a big doubt in the heart of the old blind eye, but also the same doubt in the hearts of the thief eye and other fishmen.

The mating of the Fish-People is entirely due to physiological impulses, and probably no Fish-People will talk about their feelings when they go into the water to chase, and no Fish-Man will think of being responsible for the things they are chasing in the water.

Yang Yi was stunned after hearing the old blind man's words, although he is now a fish man on the outside, he is still a human in his bones.

Having children seems a matter of course for humans, but not for fishmen.

Yang Yi thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter needed to be promoted by the fishmen in the town who slowly changed their thinking.

"To strengthen the publicity of the fact that fish give birth to children, it is important to have rewards and punishments, mainly for the second and third class of fish people." Yang Yi said.

Yang Yi hasn't thought about the specific reward and punishment measures yet, but the general direction is still there.

For example, you can reward those who have more children, those with good qualifications, or those who have been raised.

Fishmen who do not have children can also be punished.

These policies were improvised by Yang Yi, and they still need to be gradually improved through actual implementation and improvement.

It will take a long time to change the entire society of the fish-people, and Yang Yi knows that he can't be in a hurry.

After this conversation, the class of the fishmen in Ratchet Town was divided.

Yang Yi himself is the only fishman at the highest level, and he rules everything.

A handful of fishmen, such as the Old Blind and the Braque brothers, are in the second estate, the ruling class.

Currently, the other fishmen in Ratchet belong to the Third Estate, the Commoners. Most of these fishmen are loyal to Ratchet and will be staunch supporters of the First and Second Estates.

The fishmen who join Ratchet Town will start out as the lowest class, the Untouchables. Including the little fish-people who grew up in the bay of ratchets and did not know their parents, they also belonged to the untouchable class.

After all the fish-man classes have been divided, there is only one problem left to be solved, and that is the problem of choosing a mate, or the problem of intermarriage.

When it comes to choosing a mate, the first thing to avoid is the problem of inbreeding.

This is related to the quality of the offspring of fish people, and in order to minimize genetic defects caused by inbreeding, there must be some provisions for mate selection.

At this point, Yang Yi once again chose to copy the marriage regulations of the Jinyu tribe.

Marriages between two upper classes or between two lower classes are allowed in the Jinyu tribe, and it is stipulated that marriages must be between different clans within the clan.

Each Jinyu tribe has a unified surname, which is divided into multiple blood clans.

The marriage regulations of the Jinyu tribe require that members of the clan must choose a mate outside the clan within the clan, i.e., it is forbidden to intermarry with Jinyu people from outside the clan, and it is also forbidden to intermarry with close relatives within the same clan.

Those who violate this rule will be punished by the tribe severely, and most of them will be humiliated and executed in public as soon as possible.

For Ratchet Town, all Fishmen who join Ratchet Town are, of course, members of the Ratchet Fish-Man clan.

At present, except for a small number of blacktip fishmen and long-beach fishmen in the ratchet tribe, most of the fishmen do not belong to a blood clan. There is no way to prohibit intermarriage within the clan by prohibiting intermarriage like the Jinyu people, so as to achieve the effect of eliminating intermarriage between close relatives to the greatest extent.

"In order to prevent the Blacktip Fishmen from uniting, the name Blacktip Clan is no longer allowed to be used after they join Ratchet Town." Yang Yi thought to himself.

"So the top priority in Ratchet Town is to divide the clans of the fishmen in the town."

"Anyway, most of the fishmen in Ratchet Town can't tell their blood relationship now, so they can only divide the clan according to the work that each fishman is currently engaged in. In this way, at least the descendants of these fishmen can distinguish part of the bloodline, if a few fishmen are unlucky or meet close relatives within three generations of intermarriage, then there is no way. ”

Once the new clan is divided, there needs to be something to indicate which clan each fishman belongs to, and that is the surname.

Yang Yi plans to decide on his own to divide all the fishmen in Ratchet Town into clans, and give these clans names, and the name of the clan will be the surname of this clan's fishmen in the future.

Yang Yi is the mayor of Ratchet Town, and he is so willful.
