Chapter 299 More Missions

Clearly, after what happened last night, Zi Yi has started to dislike Baron Talis.

Li Mosi nodded.

"Then let's go together, and bring your apprentices along too."

He knew what Zi Yi was thinking.

There's no need to bring this up.

And today is the last day to collect materials.

It's unlikely that thousands of people will gather together again in the future.

There shouldn't be any more trouble.

It's fine to leave it to the clansmen to look after for now.

Zi'an didn't think that much about it.

She could only tell that Zi Yi didn't like this place.

Since my teacher has agreed, let's go together.

Only Haki loves to dance when he relaxes.

"My people are not here—!"

Li Mosi has already learned to anticipate events.

When you're having troubles, Haki Saint might be able to help.

When he has nothing to do, Hagi Saint loves to cause trouble.

Zi Yi glanced at Haji Saint, already used to it.

He turned his head somewhat awkwardly to look at Li Mosi.

"Master, I haven't yet taken those clever people as my apprentices."

They didn't say before they left that these people would be apprentices, did they?

Zi'an looked down at him and blinked.

She was recalling what had happened before they parted ways.

"Oh, right—"

She only asked those five intelligent people to become her mentors after they parted ways.

What is it?

The saintess did not want to know the reason behind it.

"Mmm?"

Li Mosi has also thought it through.

"If you teach these wise men the principles, and then let them go back and teach their people, isn't that making them your apprentices?"

After he finished speaking, he added.

"After you left that day, Zi'an had already made those five clever people her apprentices."

Zi Yi thought about it for a moment and realized that it was true.

"Then I'll have those people come and become my disciples, and I'll take them with me when I leave."

Now that I've become a mentor, I must teach them as much as my predecessors did.

He has already taught quite a bit in the past few days.

Before leaving with my teacher, I only took some math and pinyin textbooks with me.

He's more than capable of teaching the people of one manor, but teaching the entire Baron Taliss estate would be a stretch.

There's no way to teach the Thousand Character Classic.

"Shall we call them over now?"

Zi'an didn't want to waste any more time.

Li Mosi nodded in agreement.

Ziyi thought so too.

At a call, seventeen people stepped forward.

Li Mosi and Zi'an were surprised to find Ziwang among them.

Also.

Whenever someone mentions Ziwang, they always talk about his competence.

This person is indeed quite clever.

With the help of Li Mosi and Zi An, the seventeen people quickly performed the apprenticeship ceremony in front of everyone present.

Then, Li Moss took the opportunity to establish new etiquette.

Zi Yi and his seventeen disciples learned quite quickly.

However, the remaining leaders and clansmen learned at varying speeds.

Zi Yi briefly explained the situation to the clansmen who remained there, and then set off with the clansmen who had come with Li Mosi and the others the night before, as well as the disciples he had just taken in.

On the way back, Li Mosi opened the [Leshanshui] map and took a look.

They have fifteen days left. By the time they get back to Stern or Lakeside Manor, at least half the afternoon will have passed...

By then, only a quarter of the day will remain.

It's hard to do anything more today.

At most, Ziyi and Zian will teach their disciples a little more.

Zi'an looked up and watched the sunlight filter through the tree canopy, casting dappled patterns of light.

"It seems like there's not much we can do with the rest of the day?"

My late teacher mentioned to her last night that he planned to take the villagers who had finished building their houses back to their tribe today.

This incident completely disrupted the plans.

"Should we have the people prepare fuel?"

Ziyi tried to solve the problem.

Li Moss agreed.

"That's definitely possible."

The people here can only burn firewood, and they consume a lot of fuel throughout the winter.

Not to mention that he arranged heated brick beds for the people, which were intended for their use.

"But this is just one of our arrangements."

"Weren't you going to lead the people back to the forest to build houses?"

The saintess spoke, and the three of them, master and disciples, all looked over.

This was actually Zi Yi's plan as well.

Li Mosi didn't rush to speak.

The road back is still long.

He looked at Ziyi and Zian.

"Of the fourteen manors in Baron Stern's estate, including the town, all the houses will be completed today. The houses in the three knightly manors to the north are also finished. What are your thoughts on the next steps?"

The two disciples immediately realized what was happening.

This familiar feeling is that their late teacher is testing them.

Ziyi and Zian both looked up and began to ponder.

"Emm..."

Seeing that the three ignored her, the saintess also felt that there was no point in continuing.

"My late teacher."

Zi Yi quickly figured it out.

"To get the heated brick bed burning, we need a lot of wood. We also need to build houses in the village. I'm thinking the villagers could go to the village to gather materials for building their houses, and bring back some trees from the forest?"

"The oak trees in this forest aren't very tall, so you can get more firewood in the same amount of time it takes to cut down one tree."

"Bringing trees from the forest here?!"

Haki Saint couldn't hold back any longer.

That would be such a waste of time!

What a waste of good trees!

Don't you consider the time spent on the road?!

What a waste of good trees!

Don't you consider the time spent on the road?!

"Your mother—"

Li Mosi pinched her mouth shut again.

He was worried last night that Haki might continue to be irritable because of the ash on his face.

As a result, the self-cleaning function of Haki Sant made it impossible for dust to stick to his hands, and even the parts of his skin that had been in contact with it became as clean as if they had been washed with soap!

Then what's there to worry about?

Let's keep trying.

"Don't worry. Zi'an, what are your thoughts?"

Li Mosi patted Zi Yi and looked at Zi An.

"Well--"

Zi'an scratched the top of his head, touching his ear.

What she thought was similar to what Zi Yi had.

If you're a step too late, you'll only be able to pick what Zi Yi hasn't even mentioned yet.

"Fuel, building the village...do we need to prepare more shoes and clothes?"

There was quite a bit of fabric in the noble's warehouse.

Although some were used to make strips of cloth, not many were actually used.

Even if those strips of cloth couldn't be used to make clothes, they could still be used to mend the clothes of the people.

"Mmm!"

That little bit of fabric isn't enough for so many people!

Feeling the vibration in her hand, Li Mosi looked at Hagi Saint.

However, he couldn't figure out what Haki Saint was trying to say.

He simply stopped caring.

"You two are on the right track. However, there are still a few problems."

Ziyi and Zian exchanged a glance and listened silently.

"First, let's talk about the tribes."

Li Mosi raised her index finger.

"How many people are needed to gather materials? How many people are needed for construction? How many oxcarts and horse-drawn carts will be needed?"

"Then came the cutting down of trees."

He then raised his middle finger.

"Who should we keep behind to collect firewood? Would part-time workers be suitable?"

Ziyi and Zian shook their heads.

It's still quite difficult for someone with only half the labor power to cut down trees.

Li Mosi raised her ring finger again.

"We do need to make some clothes for winter. But how many clothes do we have enough fabric to make? Adult and children's clothes require different amounts of fabric, and the time it takes to make them is also different."

"Who should be assigned to this task?"

Li Mosi stopped there.

He watched as Ziyi and Zian fainted.

There's nothing we can do about it.

They have only solved the most important problem of keeping the house warm; more tasks and more problems are yet to come.
