You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

Feng Tianyin's eyes flashed as if she was searching for information, and then she said, "Be careful of sudden death. The typical symptom is a stone pressing on the chest, which may persist or recur, and sometimes radiate to the left shoulder, back, neck or chin."

The heartbeat is extremely fast, chaotic, or irregular, accompanied by dizziness, blurred vision, or even brief loss of consciousness.

We can begin at any time, focusing on chest compressions..."

The doctors around immediately took out their notebooks to record the information.

The temple work is stressful, and many people suffer from burnout symptoms, so they often stay there for medical checkups and treatment.

Moreover, one can often hear the high priest giving medical lectures without warning, so why not? People who aspire to heal the sick and save lives love this position.

Yu Xue had to help her colleague interrupt.

"Your Majesty, we are not about to die suddenly or have an illness; we are simply old."

"old? "

Feng Tianyin's expression froze for a moment, as if she had heard an unexpected answer and didn't quite understand. Gradually, she realized... This bewildered expression made one wonder if this person had never considered the possibility of aging.

She could certainly associate wrinkles and gray hair with aging, but she couldn't grasp what came with it:

Physical exhaustion, declining eyesight, drowsiness...

I never thought of that.

Even the aforementioned adverse physical reactions never occurred after the ascension. Feng Tianyin, now in a stable healthy state, was completely incomprehensible due to the AI ​​logic; how could she understand without experiencing it? However, I will still maintain a polite response:

"Sure, you've certainly worked hard these past few years." She then changed the subject: "Yu Xue, wouldn't you like to relax a bit?"

The chief immediately replied, "I couldn't be happier."

With all parties agreeing immediately, Feng Tianyin naturally approved the adjustment of some work arrangements.

This tax evasion scandal is truly outrageous.

The subordinates who witnessed this scene were shocked, never expecting it to have such a profound impact on the court.

In a normal situation, this might be interpreted as a power struggle arising from suspicion between the ruler and his ministers, or it could escalate into confiscation of property or implication of relatives. However, everyone knows that Feng Tianyin would not do this; her concern is genuine.

Having just demonstrated control over the Great Qian Dynasty, there's no need for underhanded tactics.

Therefore, the three of them reached a consensus and decided to gradually replace the first batch of council members while looking for successors.

A storm is coming.

From now on, everyone will be in fierce competition.

While it may not lead to an immediate replacement, there will always be a transition period. But isn't this also a period of evaluation for the candidates? Who doesn't yearn to join the ranks of permanent senior clerks? Or even become a pawn in the court's political games? A single decision can determine the fate of countless people.

His place in history is assured.

Its allure cannot be measured in monetary terms; it is the eternal pursuit of a high-ranking official.

Each one who emerges is a source of great honor for the family and deserves a separate page in the family genealogy. Working alongside the High Priest is a tremendous honor, not to mention the generous rewards, with plenty of benefits in addition to the hard work.

While her subordinates were brainstorming, Feng Tianyin calmly continued approving the documents.

Too lazy to think about it.

It's just some personnel changes.

In fact, any work that cannot be taken care of during this period can be handled entirely by oneself without affecting one's plans.

“Gengtana, you should promote the necessity of taxation from a religious perspective.”

Learning from history, Christianity's use of the biblical claim that one-tenth of agricultural and pastoral products "belong to God" to levy tithes is a legitimate interpretation.

It has its merits.

The great prophet immediately replied, “Don’t worry, I’ve been thinking about this matter since the beginning. I believe it can be interpreted as a portion of the wealth being a blessing from heaven, so a portion should be paid into the national treasury… I will arrange the specifics.”

She came up with the idea of ​​a tithe model without any prompting.

In Gegentana's view, a major reason why you received the blessing was the high priest's prayers, so wasn't it only right to give the high priest some taxes? And it wasn't a given that she should rule the country.

Kindness.

We must ensure that the people of Daqian pay their taxes with gratitude, contributing to the prosperity of the nation.

In short, its rationality needs to be demonstrated comprehensively.

Having worked as a con artist and a high shaman, and having spent many years in the officialdom of the Great Qian Dynasty, Gegentana's skills were superb. This level of propaganda was a piece of cake for her; it just needed time to spread slowly.

She and Feng Tianyin have plenty of time; as long as they remain firmly on the throne, their legitimacy will only grow stronger.

"As long as enough taxes are collected, the cathedral can be further expanded."

"It's good to use tax revenue to build wonders, but we shouldn't always think about solving the problem through religion. We need to train more excellent scribes."

Feng Tianyin looked around:

"Expand the staff; I'll leave the task of drafting the vacancy lists to you."

Another major news story has emerged today, and all the scholars in the Great Qian Dynasty will be excited.

The high priest strictly controlled the number of scribes.

As is well known, she has always done this, so the temple and its subordinate agencies are quite streamlined, with strict entry requirements but lenient exit requirements, and fierce competition. After all, there are only so many positions, and everyone has to compete to get a job.

It all comes down to merit.

They had to work hard because everyone, from top to bottom, was operating at a high intensity, and their contributions had to be commensurate with their treatment.

Feng Tianyin's power also controlled the organization's expansion trend.

No matter how the clerks suggested, subtly hinted, or probed, they couldn't get her to cross the "minimum reduction line" to expand the staff. They couldn't fight city hall, and they couldn't change the high priest's mind, so clerks have been scarce for many years.

An organization often has an unconscious tendency to expand.

This expansion will quickly exceed what is necessary, leading to problems such as bloat and inefficiency, and the clerical interest group will have an incentive to expand itself.

However, even combined, they couldn't match Feng Tianyin's overwhelming control; the difference in power was vast.

"turn down."

She can suppress it with just one sentence.

Expansion is often a means of winning people over by providing benefits. It may allow the organization to expand to a certain extent, but when has the High Priest ever cared about winning you over? If it doesn't work, just move to another position.

If you don't do it, there are plenty of others who will. If you can't do it, leave immediately.

Gradually, no one brought up the matter of expanding the organization in front of Feng Tianyin anymore, as there was no need to cause displeasure.

Your immediate supervisor isn't likely to judge a person's type based on emotions, but they might feel that your attention is focused on something as trivial as persuasion, so they'll lower their evaluation and simply stop mentioning it altogether.

This time is different.

The Longshanpo tax resistance incident made her realize that it was necessary to cultivate more high-ranking officials to serve as the backbone of local governance in the future.

The current reserves are far from sufficient.

Feng Tianyin's approval of the expansion was considered an unprecedented event in the Daqian officialdom.

One can't help but feel a little grateful to those awful tax farmers; it's thanks to you that His Majesty realized the need for more manpower. There's also a sense of melancholy, as Yu Xue, Li Zhengxuan, and other senior clerks have been relieved of their departmental duties.

The retention of council affairs to continue assisting the high priest's work, but no longer managing departments, also sends a signal:

retire.

Because promotions at their level should start from the department level.

Making room for newcomers is for them.

This move also sets a precedent: one should first detach oneself from specific departmental affairs and work with the high priest for a period of time as a buffer to cultivate a successor.

Moreover, some people are following suit and preparing to resign.

Most of them are too old to compete for higher positions, even if they do, they'll suffer. So they might as well treat themselves better, make way for others early, and collect a generous pension before leaving.

Feng Tianyin is very generous.

He always rewards capable subordinates and is never stingy with rewards.

To some extent, this also encourages leaving; it's a tacit understanding between the two sides.

While power is undeniably alluring, working under the High Priest is no easy task; it's truly exhausting. If one isn't planning on scrambling for advancement, it's best to abdicate and pass the position to a more capable successor, leaving a good reputation for future interactions...

As a result, a considerable number of key positions in judicial oversight bodies, the high priest's office, and engineering and water conservancy have become vacant, or are being filled by people preparing for retirement.

Changes at the temple's upper echelons quickly spread downwards.

The direct impact is that everyone starts to work harder, feeling that they have a chance to fill the vacancy, so they take on tasks one after another, eager to do more and create more achievements, which will be a condition for taking up the post in the future.

Fishing lights on the shore.

Inside the City Lord's mansion, He Huang solemnly opened the letter, his eyes widening as he stared at it, and he immediately held his breath in excitement.

She smiled, put her hands behind her back, looked around, gazed out the window, and suddenly felt the vastness of the world.

The mood is right, I should compose a poem...

"Don't you have a lot of informants in the temple? You should have known you were going to be transferred to another department, right?"

The untimely voice of Bayar beside her made her roll her eyes. The former smiled and showed the transfer documents that had arrived together, one signed by the high priest and the other by the great prophet, both extremely precious.

I'll be so happy to display it in my ancestral hall at home and show it off.

“That’s not called an informant, that’s a classmate. Besides, Xia Yi had already heard rumors about it. If I didn’t have this level of political acumen, I would have gone back to farming long ago.”

He Wan calmed down.

Anyone with eyes to see knows that the temple will undergo some adjustments around the time of the Heavenly Ritual.

The truth has now come to light: it was Feng Tianyin who decided to thoroughly review the civil service system from top to bottom to match the current territory of the Great Qian Dynasty and ensure that public functions are fully covered.

His Majesty's character does not allow power to not reach the lowest levels.

For example, the Heavenly Dao Sect is a tool that allows believers to form organizations even in a small village.

Good tactic.

He Wan, who concurrently served as the governor of two cities and coordinated with various southern lords, knew best that the local gentry were a difficult group to deal with, and disputes were inevitable.

But the situation has improved rapidly in recent years.

Inspired by the followers of the Heavenly Dao Sect, they also turned their hearts towards the Great Qian Dynasty and responded enthusiastically.

That's pretty scary.
