Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

The craftsman was speechless for a moment.

He knew, of course, that Ding Xiling was right.

But while the principle is sound, actually getting women to work in workshops is a different matter entirely.

He scratched his head, his face full of difficulty: "Miss, I understand what you're saying, but this workshop is, after all, a place where men work. I don't know how to arrange things if I bring women in."

"Besides, what if something goes wrong..."

Ding Xiling understood.

No one dared to be the first.

While the two were locked in a stalemate, Bai Li stood to the side.

He followed Ding Xiling here as an observer, initially just out of curiosity to see what this girl was planning to do.

But as Bai Li listened, she became interested.

Good thing!

After rescuing the woman, Bai Li didn't pay much attention to her anymore.

Unexpectedly, this girl took this step herself and decided to find a job on her own.

Bai Li was too lazy to make the craftsman hesitate any longer.

As it happened, this person was also a villager who had changed jobs, so Bai Li directly possessed him.

"Since she's willing to work, then let her come."

The craftsman trembled: "Young Master Bai?"

Ding Xiling also looked up abruptly.

White Immortal Lord!

Although she couldn't see or hear Bai Li, she understood that Bai Xianjun had descended in such a way, and it was because of her.

He was the person she admired and revered most in her life.

She instinctively gripped the hem of her clothes, her eyes filled with surprise.

She forced herself to suppress her emotions.

We must not be impolite.

We must not act like a naive girl just because Bai Xianjun has appeared.

At the same time, Ding Xiling immediately understood and was overjoyed.

Bai Xianjun advocated that women could study like men, and since he descended at this moment, it was obvious that everything that had just happened had been seen.

Her request was fulfilled.

Ding Xiling respectfully bowed to the void, but with a hidden agenda, she added her name: "This humble woman, Ding Xiling, greets Young Master Bai."

Bai Li, speaking through the villagers, said, "If you want to work, then come. This person will send someone to teach you how to do it."

Ding Xiling nodded.

Bai Li solemnly reminded him, "However, there is something you need to think about clearly: the craftsmen in the workshop are all men. If you learn a craft from them, you will inevitably have to spend every day with them."

"Afterwards, I will have people pass on messages to keep them in check, but there will inevitably be gossip behind their backs. Can you handle that?"

Ding Xiling didn't hesitate and said decisively, "Yes. As long as it's honest work and I earn money through my own abilities, I don't care what others say."

Bai Li smiled and said, "It's good that you have this spirit."

He thought the matter was over.

But Ding Xiling spoke cautiously again. "Young Master Bai, I've come here not just for myself."

Bai Li was taken aback.

Ding Xiling gripped the hem of her clothes: "There are also some women who want to find some work to do."

"Some of them are the sisters you rescued from the bandits. Although they are much better now, they have been staying in the courtyard, which is not good for them. I want to bring them out."

"And some are families where the men don't earn much and they want to add more income to the household."

"They are all willing, but they are not quite brave enough to actually come out on their own."

Bai Li's eyes lit up, and she asked impatiently, "So, you're asking on their behalf?"

"Yes."

Ding Xiling nodded: "If the workshop is really willing to take in women, I want to go back and tell them that as long as one person goes out first, they will dare to come."

A smile that Bai Li couldn't suppress appeared on her face.

If he weren't possessed, he would have liked to hum a little tune.

It turned out to be the case.

He thought that the girl in front of him had finally figured things out and was thinking about earning money with her own hands.

I never expected that she was there to scout ahead for a group of women!

This was something Bai Li hadn't expected.

He stared at Ding Xiling, becoming more and more satisfied with his gaze.

Children are easily molded.

However, it is not so easy for these grown-up people to change their original views.

Even if they stipulate that women can enter workshops and work to earn money.

What can we do?

Without anyone to lead the way or tell them what to do, many old ideas will still come back if they are not careful.

Moreover, the gossip outside and the resistance at home cannot be eliminated with a single order.

They have to be able to handle it themselves.

I can't keep an eye on them every day.

Therefore, Bai Li's original plan was to wait until the first batch of girls who entered the school grew up.

Once they have received a new education and developed their own ideas, they can then influence more people.

This matter cannot be rushed; Bai Li has plenty of time.

But things are different now; someone has actually stepped forward on their own.

The most important thing is to be someone who is truly willing to take the first step.

With a leader in charge, many things no longer require personal involvement.

Bai Li grew increasingly satisfied: "This kind of person is the real seed!"

But after the initial excitement, he quickly calmed down.

Problems then arose.

One Ding Xiling, easy to handle.

But what if dozens, or even hundreds, of women entered the workshop together?

We can't expect those experienced masters to teach each of us step by step.

That would be far too inefficient.

And how many apprentices can a master take on?

Bringing a dozen or so people is probably already the limit, not to mention the constant influx of refugees!

The number of people entering the Immortal Realm will only increase in the future.

"Mentoring new employees won't work; we need to find another way," Bai Li muttered to herself.

He quickly found the answer.

For someone with knowledge of future generations, the answer often follows the question as soon as it arises.

Technical school.

Since it's too slow for experienced teachers to teach one by one, let's just gather everyone together and teach them all at once.

One teacher can teach dozens of people at the same time, and invite experienced craftsmen to offer courses according to different industries.

If you want to learn textiles, then learn textiles; if you want to learn salt making, then learn salt making, and so on.

In this way, there would be no need for master craftsmen to train apprentices one by one.

Once the first group learns, the best among them will be selected to become teachers for the next group.

One group after another, and the number of people kept increasing.

At the same time, it is supplemented by an assembly line.

Complex tasks don't need to be done by one person from start to finish; they can be broken down into steps.

Each person is only responsible for the part they are most familiar with.

In this way, even newcomers who have just graduated from technical school can quickly get into production, and efficiency will naturally be greatly improved.

"Vocational schools train talent, assembly lines improve efficiency—perfect!"
