You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

Xia He watched the southern inspection convoy arrive at Nanyuan.

It's you again.

As the southernmost economic and military stronghold of the Great Qian Dynasty, it's hard for it not to make its presence felt, especially since it has just experienced a fierce battle. As the High Priest, it's only natural that he has a responsibility to come and offer condolences.

Upon hearing the news, the entire city began preparations, and the day of the welcome was naturally filled with the sounds of gongs and drums.

Many of them were familiar faces.

Back then, Feng Tianyin personally led the army to conquer this place, and she treated people with leniency, preserving some of the established systems. The people were also familiar with her.

The welcome from Nanyuan may not be the most grand, but it is certainly the most welcoming.

They praised the way of heaven for this moment. Even Xia He saw her faith surge and thought, "What does this have to do with me?" But as long as everyone is happy, at least it can increase the livability rating.

So be it.

Let's see how they mess things up.

Feng Tianyin's strategy was simple and direct: she extended an invitation to the followers of the Heavenly Dao Sect to come to Nanyuan to celebrate.

She explained the attack on the clan as "thanks to the purification of the heavens, the pollution did not spread further," which was not wrong, and it effectively inspired the pride of the believers.

The victory for the family is a natural form of propaganda, and the right to interpret it should be firmly grasped.

The official Daqian government has given its assessment. As for whether it will lead to claims that "it was actually a byproduct of a psionic experiment leak," those are conspiracy theories, unofficial histories, and mudslinging. They are wrong and baseless speculations.

win numb

Xia He watched helplessly as the Great Qian Dynasty began to write its history.

No one would doubt why a barbarian camp was inexplicably infected.

This is not the time to dwell on it.

Isn't the most urgent task to participate in the Tiandao Sect's Southern Plains Ceremony together?

With the High Priestess herself calling on people to flock to her, after all, she was the true Pope, a level above the Great Prophet, so everyone naturally welcomed her, just to see her.

[Note: The event "High Priest's Southern Tour for Blessings" during the Great Qian Dynasty has significantly increased the spread of faith.]

【describe:】

At the southernmost point of this southern tour, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Feng Tianyin, decided to hold a victory ceremony and announce a divine revelation, thus summoning believers from all directions, and the city-states in the southern part of the Great Plains responded widely...

The impact was so great that the game mechanics triggered an event.

Xia He increasingly felt that the villains were exploiting the mechanism, which meant that the underlying logic of the world was further promoting missionary work.

It's a win-win situation.

Sure enough, her perspective shifted to a transformation of the religious landscape.

In the words of the players, it was like "purging" other people's religions. In reality, these city-states still had some primitive hero worship, ancestral worship, etc., which were relatively primitive beliefs, but they could not withstand the storms of the outside world.

At most, they'll just live in their own little world.

This kind of thing is best enjoyed on a small scale.

Once a strong foreign faith intervenes, people become believers in no time, since it is the result of repeated refinement.

The Heavenly Dao Sect possesses a series of advanced social science achievements, integrating sociology, communication studies, psychology, and economics, drawing on the strengths of various disciplines and embracing diversity. With rich practical experience, solid theoretical guidance, and the unwavering support of the entire Great Qian Dynasty, what can you possibly use to challenge me?

All your other minor sects are like little girls in front of us.

Feng Tianyin's call to action ignited a frenzy among them, with many bringing their families to participate, causing a dramatic shift in the political landscape of the city-states in the southern part of the Great Plains.

Religious belief +10

Xia He watched as one after another, notifications of conversion appeared in various areas, with the initial values ​​fluctuating around 20%.

A vibrant scene of life and all things flourishing is right before our eyes.

The advanced missionary work of the Great Qian Dynasty was unstoppable.

They all responded to the high priest's call, and a vast crowd headed towards the Southern Plain, a true "pilgrimage route," which naturally caused a stir.

For those who are not believers, this means that the normal order of production and life has been challenged.

Furthermore, one cannot be too harsh on the conduct of this era; it was a mixed bag, encompassing all sorts of people, including some thugs and ruffians. This resulted in a series of frictions and conflicts:

"What are you doing, a bunch of idiots worshipping?"

“Dull-witted”.

"You uneducated people will be swallowed up by the subspace sooner or later. You have no idea of ​​the greatness of the Heavenly Dao."

“You’re clearly going to pledge allegiance to Feng Tianyin, so you’ll be turning your attention to us in the future.”

"Does it concern you where I go?"

The verbal altercation gradually escalated into pushing and shoving, and then into a brawl. Some even handed over farm tools to watch the spectacle, making the fight even more intense.

If someone doesn't know their own strength, it's not impossible for someone to die.

Unfortunately, the crowd was noisy, and there was trampling and pushing, making it extremely difficult to track down the perpetrator. In the end, the case was left unsolved and became part of the accidental deaths...

It's a mess.

The accumulation of minor incidents reflected in Xia He's message that "stability is decreasing."

The corresponding increases are: [Faith +0.1%, +0.3%, etc.]

There are advantages and disadvantages; it all depends on what you choose to accept.

From another perspective, isn't the provocation of believers by heretics actually increasing internal cohesion?

Feng Tianyin couldn't possibly have overlooked this point; rather, she felt it was indispensable and unavoidable. So, she decided to just do it this way. After all, their fighting was just expanding their influence, whether for better or worse, so she adopted a holistic approach.

Her plans were always precise, giving potential rivals a clear and thorough strategy.

The goal is to attract a large number of believers to Nanyuan to strengthen cohesion.

Xia He could see it more clearly from the data: as the situation evolved, the loyalty of the city-states in the southern part of the Great Plains to the two southern countries declined, and the other side's "sphere of influence" was shrinking.

They're still struggling.

Previously, they had little interest in the Great Qian Dynasty because of the great distance, and as an external force, she did not even have the right to intervene.

Things are different now; the Heavenly Dao Sect's influence, which was established earlier, is now thriving.

Business efforts are also crucial.

Merchants entrusted by the Great Qian Dynasty continuously sold tokens, along with a variety of high-quality and inexpensive products, giving everyone at least a vague understanding. The reason they were "high-quality and inexpensive" was because the Great Qian Dynasty had offered concessions, collecting only a small amount of tax; as long as you sold well, that was enough.

When it comes to big things, Feng Tianyin is always willing to spend money. If spending money can buy such influence, then it's a huge win.

It was definitely profitable.

In fact, her strategy succeeded and began to influence other city-states.

However, Xia He wasn't so excited as to think that they were going to completely conquer the land, because as expected, the spread of the faith actually stalled after everyone gradually arrived at Nanyuan.

It's not that their influence is insufficient, but rather that they've all been refined.

"...Ultimately, it is a long process. Winning people's hearts cannot be achieved by simply giving them eggs; it requires time to accumulate."

Actually, it's more useful to add special effects.

But she won't easily interfere between rounds; it's still early, 63 years into the Enlightenment.

Feng Tianyin intends to use this entire round to lay the groundwork, and Nanyuan is the first step in leveraging this momentum, which she will then demonstrate to Xia He.

Chapter 120: Declaring Preparations for War (6K)

"Just treat it as a fan meeting?"

In Xia He's eyes, the whole event was like an idol event, after all, the little robot could attract a lot of people to come and worship it with just a wave of its arm.

Although everyone claims to praise the Way of Heaven, she does not directly respond to believers.

How to deal with them is ultimately Feng Tianyin's responsibility. She carries everyone's beautiful hopes for the High Priest, is the embodiment of a spiritual totem, and is a super idol who walks in the world of Terra.

Should I be considered a producer?

broker?

Xia He's interpretation does not mean to belittle this action; on the contrary, it affirms the progressiveness of the ceremony.

Unlike the solemn once-a-decade ceremony, it is more free:

Under Feng Tianyin's orders, Yu Xue and Cheng Feng carried out an ingenious arrangement: posting posters, selling souvenirs, and publicly meeting with representatives of believers... The sense of déjà vu was too strong.

It's no wonder Xia He assumed it was a "fan meeting" because that's the logic behind it.

That was way ahead of its time.

Although both the former prime minister and the lord of Nanyuan City were highly respected officials, their imaginations couldn't have reached this level; it must have been the superior's idea. In the early classical era, it was a game-changer, turning countless people into fanatical believers on the spot.

For example, there was the president of the Haiyan Chamber of Commerce, who immediately burst into tears and expressed his conversion upon first meeting Feng Tianyin.

She clearly referenced the logic of idol management.

Even the blessing ceremony involves dancing.

Thanks to Xia He's appreciation of dance back then, the priests of the Great Qian Dynasty have long been closely associated with dance. However, the Heavenly Dao Ceremony is ultimately a solemn and traditional occasion, while such daily prayers do not need to be too dull.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, priests must be skilled in dance; it was a required and crucial course.

Feng Tianyin is one of the best among them.

Xia He took a closer look and noticed that although she didn't understand dance, she had clearly improved. Her natural talent was excellent, and her graceful figure and coordinated movements were truly a work of art.

Previously, the little robot's dance had a somewhat stiff "mechanical dance" feel to it.

Today is not what it used to be.

However, as Xia He looked at it, she noticed that the style was quite idol-like, and it took her a moment to realize what was going on:

"This looks like the style of otaku dance!"

She couldn't help but chuckle, rubbing her forehead. In Terra, a world where ballet and tango hadn't yet emerged, this first style was bound to be highly regarded. She hadn't noticed it before, but if it had been circulating for some time…

Then the entire upper class of the Great Qian Dynasty, no, the entire cultural sphere, will be dancing otaku dance.
