Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

Next is the salt-making method. You need to find a smart person for this, otherwise you might not be able to teach them even after a long time. People like Wei Shi and Liu Ping are definitely not suitable.

Well, we have enough people now, and Miao Zhiming is quite busy every day, so let's not bother him anymore.

It seems there are only a few people I can trust now, but Liu Qi seems to be one. Although he hasn't read many books, he's quick-witted.

We need to find a teacher to teach people how to read.

The exterior of the class change temple complex is almost finished. Except for a few that cannot be synthesized or require too many materials, the class change blocks have been placed inside.

Based on previous experience, only natives with extensive experience in the corresponding profession can gain the recognition of the profession block and undergo the corresponding job change.

In other words, librarians who transition from teaching positions are undoubtedly highly capable, and as long as there are teachers among them, they can confidently let those teachers teach.

Moreover, today happens to be the day of the large-scale job transfer, and the refugees have almost recovered. I will be there to place a box at the temple, and put a few logs and the wheat paid by the villagers inside.

Logs are used to craft sticks, which can then be exchanged for emeralds at the arrow maker. They can be used immediately after crafting, since a set can hold 64, and logs can hold even more.

As for wheat, it's used to exchange for emeralds from farmers, and if his estimate is correct, farmers will be the most numerous among those who change jobs to villagers.

Then use emeralds to exchange for items from other villagers, especially the armorer. Now he has collected the leather armor, chainmail armor, and iron armor, and is only missing the diamond armor!

This kind of thing is really hard to find even by digging; the best way is to trade it with an armorer.

Then, using the ink sac and feathers caught from fishing, they combined the book and pen to record the corresponding villagers' names, tradeable items, levels, and residences.

When the time comes, we'll allocate personal memories specifically so that when he needs them, he can simply have that person search for them.

With intelligence, they're much easier to manage than in games, not to mention they'll voluntarily hand over the wheat they get from farming every day.

It was used to trade emeralds with them.

It's very convenient, and all you need are some seeds and a compost bin for it to feed itself. This is the correct way for villagers to use it.

Just then, Tieshan, who was wearing a flower wreath around his neck, happened to pass by.

This guy has nothing to do all day, so he just wanders around the village. Plus, he knows almost everyone in the village, so asking around is always a safe bet.

Moreover, sending Tieshan was advantageous because the villagers knew he listened to me and wouldn't stop him from taking the salt. Furthermore, he was strong and could carry heavy loads, so he could bring all the salt over.

Bai Li was about to call out to Tie Shan when, to his surprise, Tie Shan saw him and immediately waved and walked towards him.

When they reached Bai Li, Tie Shan took off the flower wreath from his neck and tried to put it around Bai Li's neck.

As soon as Tieshan let go, the wreath passed right through Bai Li's body and fell to the ground with a thud.

It was obvious that Tieshan was coming towards him because he wanted to give the wreath to Bai Li.

However, this guy actually made the wreath according to his own size, and it was too big!

The wreath that could hang on the three-meter-wide body of the iron golem turned into a flower wreath on him!

"This was specially prepared for me, the first one made?" Bai Li chuckled.

Tieshan seemed to realize that he might have done something wrong, and nodded slightly.

Looking at Tieshan's innocent and somewhat helpless expression, Bai Li thought helplessly.

I shouldn't have said it should be made into a wreath to wear around the neck. It's normal for someone with an iron head to be unable to think straight.

Bending down, Bai Li picked up the "flower wreath," slung it over her shoulder like a shoulder bag, and said leisurely, "Thanks, Tieshan. I really like this gift and will cherish it. Hmm, I'd like to make another flower wreath next time..."

Bai Li paused, searched around for a while, and brought over a few stones, saying to Tie Shan, "Just big enough to fit over these stones!"

We need to give it a reference point to avoid making the same mistake again!

"Tieshan, do you know where Liu Qi is right now?" Bai Li asked tentatively.

Tieshan nodded.

"Alright, go find Liu Qi and bring him here. On the way, bring a small portion of the salt we bought from the warehouse!" Seeing Tieshan tilting his head and looking at her thoughtfully, Bai Li thought for a moment and cautiously said, "Tieshan, you should know what salt is, right?"

Tieshan shook his head.

Oh well, I guess I'm the creator of this landlord's foolish son. If I don't spoil him, who will?

When classes start, we'll arrange for Tieshan to attend as well!

To avoid getting scammed and then having to count the money for others.

Bai Li sighed helplessly, rubbed his forehead, and took out a book, pen, and paper from his backpack. He then wrote a few lines on the paper.

"Go find Miao Zhiming and give him this. He'll understand!" Bai Li handed over the paper.

Above, Bai Li wrote the character for "salt" in traditional Chinese characters:

"Salt".

The Ming Dynasty was one of the peak periods of the development of printing technology in China. Books were cheaper and more widely available than before, and Chengcheng had just experienced turmoil.

Those bandits only knew how to steal food and had no interest in inedible books. Therefore, in Chengcheng, families with books would naturally sell them in order to have money to buy grain, and the price of books actually dropped.

Miao Zhiming used his salary from these days to buy some books and also brought some to Bai Li.

However, after so many years of studying, his interest in reading had long been worn away during those years of working from 6 am to 10 pm.

Having finally been liberated, how could he possibly continue studying? Besides, he no longer needs to rely on education to make a living!

But since they've all been delivered, we can't just let Miao Zhiming take them back.

So I put it in the cabinet as a decoration.

Upon receiving the book, Bai Li curiously flipped through a few pages and discovered that people at that time were still using traditional Chinese characters.

He also became partially illiterate.

Although he couldn't recognize some of the characters, Bai Li could still make out a few based on the context.

If you're really unsure, you can draw a line and ask Miao Zhiming for help in identifying it.

Although the hype only lasted a few hours, Bai Li learned a lot of traditional Chinese characters, including the traditional Chinese character for salt!

As for why they are looking for Miao Zhiming instead of Liu Qi now...

Because in the village now, only Miao Zhiming is literate and can read. The rest are illiterate, including Liu Qi. Even if we gave them the books, they wouldn't be able to read them!

After seeing Tieshan off, Bai Li took out the worktable he carried with him, made some campfires, placed them on the ground, built a platform on top of them, and sealed the edges.

Next to him, he placed four infinite water blocks and tried to scoop water into the platform using a regular container, waiting until the water boiled and started to steam.

Bai Li nodded in satisfaction.

Fortunately, the water can still be boiled.

Thank goodness!

The rules in reality still apply.

Otherwise, this water would probably stay cold forever!
