Zhu Yunwen was quite embarrassed, as he had actually said that drinking the river water could make one pregnant.

This made Zhao Qingzhu laugh at him. Zhu Yunwen smiled and scratched his head. Then he followed the princess of the Women's Kingdom across the river by boat, and that was when they truly entered the territory of the Women's Kingdom.

It's not that there are no men in this Kingdom of Women; there are men, but because of this kingdom, men have a relatively low status, which is completely opposite to other places.

In other places, men were also the dominant force, serving as rulers and the main workforce of the country.

However, in this Kingdom of Women, women are the dominant force. Whether it's holding power, working, or doing other things, women play a more important role.

Furthermore, the man usually stays at home all the time, doing housework and cooking.

This scene was quite novel to Zhu Yunwen.

Since it was his first time seeing a country dominated by women, Zhu Yunwen couldn't resist asking about the Women's Kingdom.

"Although I know there are some things I shouldn't ask, I'm just too curious and want to ask the Women's Kingdom why it suddenly became a country dominated by women?"

"If men's labor is clearly more important, why don't they work?"

Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, the princess of the Women's Kingdom sighed and said:

"This goes back to an event from several hundred years ago, when our country was also dominated by men, with men as the rulers. However, the status of men over women was so low."

This sparked fierce resistance from the women of our nation. At that time, our Kingdom of Women was still called the Western Liang Kingdom.

Later, because the oppression of women by men was so extreme, some women rose up in resistance and found an opportunity to completely overthrow the patriarchal system.

And it was because of that incident that all the men in the country were willing to be overthrown and ruled by us women.

From then on, the Western Liang Kingdom was renamed the Kingdom of Women, and everything that was originally done by men was now done by women.

The men were only responsible for staying at home and doing housework. When a woman wanted to have a child, the man would contribute to the reproduction process.

Zhu Yunwen was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this, and then said to the princess of the Women's Kingdom:

"Then I'd like to ask, after the Women's Kingdom became female-dominated, do you feel like you've won a victory?"

Upon hearing this question, the princess of the Women's Kingdom remained silent for a moment, then sighed and said:

"Women's status has been dramatically improved, but the overall strength of the country has been declining year by year."

Zhu Yunwen then asked:

"Then, you should know where the problem lies?"

The princess of the Women's Kingdom nodded and said:

"I do understand where the problem lies. Ultimately, it is men who are the labor force. There are many things that we women simply cannot do because of our physical limitations."

For example, agricultural work, and the manufacture of many things. In addition, His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty also saw the armor worn by our country's soldiers at this gathering of various countries.

These suits of armor have very few iron plates protecting vital areas. The reason for this is that our country's iron-forging technology was very backward. After all, it was a group of women; forging iron was extremely difficult for them.

Zhu Yunwen smiled and shook his head, saying:

"Whether it's men or women, going to such extremes is never a good thing. But I'm quite curious now, what's the state of the men in your country right now? Haven't they thought about rebelling again? Or taking power back?"

The princess of the Women's Kingdom gave a wry smile and said:

"They don't really have that idea. They seem to think that it's really easy to stay at home every day without any worries or having to do anything. So far, surprisingly, no one is willing to resist."

Zhu Yunwen laughed. These men only need to do housework at home and don't have to do physical labor outside, so of course they're willing.

So Zhu Yunwen asked again:

"Didn't you people of the Women's Kingdom ever think about having these men contribute to the construction?"

The princess of the Women's Kingdom shook her head:

“It’s not that we don’t want to, it’s that they don’t want to. They’ve gotten used to being little men at home and don’t want to do any more physical labor or heavy work.”

So, in our Kingdom of Women, even though there is plenty of labor, they have given up and are willing to accept the constraints that women once imposed on them, and just stay at home doing housework.

We women really want to do things, but due to physical limitations, it's always been very difficult.

Upon hearing this question, Zhu Yunwen understood that it was indeed difficult to answer.

These women initially only wanted to liberate the peasants, let them sing, and suppress the men.

To everyone's surprise, the men were quite cooperative. They simply lay down and let them be stay-at-home dads and do the work that women used to do.

Aside from childbirth, which is still done by women, they did all the other work that women do.

However, it was difficult for the women to do physical labor, which was one of the reasons why the Kingdom of Women was declining in strength.

Even iron is produced in very small quantities.

Therefore, after Zhu Yunwen learned about it, he immediately realized why the Women's Kingdom had so many problems.

The reason for such backwardness ultimately lies in the labor force. However, the men who have the labor force are unwilling to exert themselves, while the women in power do not have the labor force. This is a very awkward situation.
