Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

Inside the administrative center.

Miao Zhiming, Meng Yongnian, Shi Fengtai and others sat around a table, discussing various matters.

Today, Licheng is no longer the small Liujia Village it once was. The number of counties covered by the Immortal Realm has increased, and the various government affairs are far more complicated than before.

The most crucial aspect is the job change.

Bai Li listened from the air.

Shi Fengtai spoke first, saying, "The people of Hancheng have already accepted the matter of changing their profession in the Immortal Realm."

The officials in charge of the other counties said that it would take some time to complete the task.

At this moment, Meng Yongnian spoke up and explained a difficult problem.

"Now that there are more than ten counties in the Immortal Realm, it would be inappropriate to follow the old rules and have everyone come to Licheng to participate in the job change."

"That's right." Miao Zhiming nodded and said, "If two or three counties come at the same time, we can barely manage. But if more people from other counties come at the same time, I'm afraid Licheng will be overwhelmed and won't be able to accommodate so many people."

"I have calculated that if everyone were to gather, it would require a large number of people just to maintain order, and if there is any chaos, it would be easy for people to push and shove each other."

"So my idea is to do it in batches, two or three counties at a time, for three or four days. Although it's slower, it's at least safer."

The group nodded in agreement.

In their view, changing jobs is a blessing from the gods.

Taking it slow is perfectly fine.

A scene flashed through Bai Li's mind.

Tens of thousands of people poured into Licheng from all directions, and the city was filled with dense crowds.

Crying children, elderly people separated by the crowd.

Once someone falls, the people behind them simply can't stop.

A stampede is absolutely inevitable.

He had considered that there would definitely be a lot of people, which is why he expanded the Twelve Temples.

But now, after hearing Miao Zhiming say this, he suddenly realized that he had underestimated the number of people.

The number was not as small as I thought. There were nearly ten county towns, and conservatively estimated, there were hundreds of thousands of people.

Whether the twelve temples can accommodate them is another matter; if they all come to Licheng, how much time will it take?

"No, we absolutely cannot let everyone gather in Licheng," Bai Li murmured. "I didn't think this through before."

He leaned over to Miao Zhiming and slowly said, "There's no need to send everyone to Licheng anymore. From now on, build a Temple of Job Transformation in every county town, which will be managed by the county government."

Three fixed days each year are designated for job advancement. Anyone who meets the requirements can complete the advancement simply by going to the local temple; there's no need to travel all the way to Licheng.

With Grandpa Cow, Bai Li no longer needs to manually synthesize the job-changing blocks required for job changes, and even if a large quantity is needed, it's not a big deal.

Even if the entire Immortal Realm needs hundreds of temples, it's only a matter of time before they are produced.

Miao Zhiming asked in confusion, "Young Master Bai, if we build temples for job advancement in every county, wouldn't you have to personally go to each county to build them? That would be even more troublesome than having the people come to Licheng."

Bai Li paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

He knew that Miao Zhiming had misunderstood.

In everyone's eyes, the twelve temples in Licheng were built by Bai Li himself.

They subconsciously believed that only temples they built themselves could be used for class changes.

Bai Li explained calmly, "No need. What truly enables the job change is not the entire temple. The temple is merely an outer shell."

"What truly matters is a core item within, the Job Change Cube. As for the temple itself, you simply need to build it according to the style of the Twelve Temples of Li City."

"Regardless of size, adjustments can be made according to the specific circumstances of each county. Once the temple is built, the job-change cube can be placed inside, and the job-change ceremony can then be held normally."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

That's it!

They had initially worried that they would have to invite Bai Li to personally oversee the construction of each temple. But they certainly couldn't let Bai Xianjun go through that trouble!

If that's all there is to it, things will be much easier. All we need to do is build the temple and put that celestial treasure inside.

In this way, not to mention the nearly ten county towns.

Even if there are dozens or hundreds of such stations in the future, it can be easily promoted.

Shi Fengtai, who was standing to the side, listened most attentively.

Hancheng County has only recently submitted to the government, and the people of the county have not yet held a proper transfer ceremony. Therefore, he cares about this matter more than anyone else.

He pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and asked, "Young Master Bai, I have another question. What if someone misses the annual unified job transfer date due to illness or other reasons?"

"Do we have to wait until next year?"

Miao Zhiming, Meng Yongnian, and others also nodded.

This is indeed a problem.

Every year, some people are unable to make it due to various reasons.

If this causes a year's delay, the loss for ordinary people would be far too great.

Bai Li also felt that Shi Fengtai's reminder made sense.

If the temple is only open once a year, it is indeed a waste that it remains empty the rest of the time.

Bai Li thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "How about this, people can go to the temple to change their profession on ordinary days, but they will need to pay a fee."

Everyone was taken aback.

Bai Li explained, "This amount of money doesn't need to be too much, but it can't be too little either."

"At least it should be affordable for ordinary villagers as well."

"After all, if it's open for free all day, there will always be people who have nothing better to do than try it out, wasting the temple space and increasing the burden on the county government."

"Charging a small fee serves two purposes: firstly, it acts as a threshold to prevent people from causing trouble without cause; secondly, the money and grain collected can be kept in the county and used for people's livelihood expenditures."

"As for the annual job change ceremony, it remains free."

"But in either case, you can only choose one temple to change your class. If you fail, you'll have to pay another fee!"

As she spoke, Bai Li had a strange sense of déjà vu.

hiss~

Why does it feel more and more like those isekai games I used to play?

First, save up enough money to go to the temple and complete the job change.

After changing jobs, he picked up a weapon and began to go out to train, hunting demons to improve his strength.

However, at the same time, if the Temple of Job Change is to be promoted to all counties, a new problem arises.

Nowadays, Grandpa Niu can automatically synthesize mostly items with relatively simple production processes.

Things like leather sets, sugar, wooden sticks, and tools can be made with just one or a few materials, following fixed steps.

The job-changing cube is completely different.

It requires a wider variety of materials and the synthesis steps are more complex.

It not only involves the synthesis of several intermediate products, but also the combination of different materials, making the entire synthesis route far more complicated than that of ordinary tools.

With Grandpa Niu's current abilities, he is not yet able to independently complete the automatic production of the job change block.

For others, this might be a difficult task to overcome.

But Bai Li is different; he possesses extraordinary intelligence!

"Chang Geng, come here and take a look. What should we do about this?"
