You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

The problem of insufficient arable land that had previously plagued Daqian was solved, and there were other gains as well:

The next "List of Proven Mineral Resources" includes important metals such as copper, iron, tin, lead, gold, and silver. The reserves are abundant and easy to mine, making it more convenient than the mineral-rich areas in northern Mongolia.

Their combined resources are enough to sustain the entire nation for decades.

Moreover, all of this must be qualified with terms such as "currently known", "current technology", and "current labor conditions".

The potential is unlimited.

Not to mention the population that Feng Tianyin is so concerned about, which is roughly estimated at around 300 million, enough to satisfy the Heavenly Dao, and can also be used to develop further technologies.

Regardless of land, population, or mineral resources, the ideal values ​​pursued for many years have been achieved.

"Okay, keep investigating, there should be more."

Yes, sir.

It's actually quite accurate, almost identical to what Feng Tianyin saw through her access permissions.

However, as control strengthens and we delve deeper into the grassroots, we are sure to make more discoveries. Those city-states are probably quite wealthy and are all part of the Great Qian's national strength.

Everything is ready, and this round of performance is good.

Feng Tianyin stood up, waved her hand, and the priests hurriedly dressed the main character of the ceremony. At the same time, she looked around and said, "It's almost time for the Heavenly Dao to descend. Everyone, get ready to watch the ceremony."

"There are even more visitors this time than last time, so please be careful to maintain order."

"clear."

She strode out of the temple and headed for the high platform, where she witnessed the high priest appear, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

People who are very far away can be seen very clearly.

At this moment, boundless spiritual energy of faith surrounded Feng Tianyin, turning the girl's long hair silver-gray, and even causing the spiritual energy to dissipate into the real space, creating a vast projection, thus making the entire Xia Yi clearly visible.

"Getting stronger and stronger..."

She clenched her fist, her slender fingers coming together with a surge of energy.

I have never neglected my spiritual energy cultivation over the years, and with the blessing of faith, it has become increasingly vast. I estimate that one day I will be able to project my image throughout the entire Great Qian territory, which would be highly efficient.

Unfortunately, it has already reached the threshold of the current era.

The reason for their extraordinary performance was that the psionic energy of the entire Terra world surged dramatically, and everyone felt the arrival of a grand will.

The world is more intense than before, and the natural feedback effect is stronger.

The sunlight spread out.

As the clouds parted, a mystical light descended, accompanied by the sprouting of life throughout the world. There was the growth of grass and trees, the laughter of children, the exorcism of evil spirits, and the fragrance of incense wafting through the earth.

That day, the sunlight, as always, illuminated the sky, revealing the brilliance of deep space.

Many first-time visitors were speechless with astonishment. Could that really be the world beyond the stars? No wonder the Heavenly Dao Sect's doctrines have repeatedly emphasized exploration and discovery, not as a superstitious depiction, but as a realistic and ambitious aspiration.

The auspicious cloud landed on the top of the temple platform the next moment.

A ray of light bathed Feng Tianyin's figure, making her appear even more ethereal and imposing. At this moment, everyone held their breath to witness her sacrificial dance.

is coming?

Then the world was enveloped in golden auspicious clouds, and all believers shared a common understanding: He had arrived as promised.

Xia He entered the seventh round of operations.

The most striking feature is the vast territory of the Great Qian Dynasty, which has expanded several times over, resulting in a significant increase in the area under its actual control.

Like blowing up a balloon.

It is almost entirely contributed by the Southern Blessed Plain, which is vast enough to cover nearly two million square kilometers when you include some scattered river valleys, plains and hills, and is sparsely populated.

If you shout "This whole area is mine" and no one within a ten-kilometer radius objects, you've planted your flag.

However, the actual controlled area is not exactly equal to the area of ​​the Great Plains.

the reason is simple.

Because in the game mechanics of Civilization Evolution, effective control is achieved only when resources in the region are "sustainably acquired".

How can we talk about governance when the road network of the Great Qian Dynasty hasn't even been built?

Although a series of infrastructure projects will need to be built in the future, the deal has been secured, and development can proceed gradually. Xia He was very satisfied, not expecting such high efficiency.

"The conversion speed has also increased."

The loyalty shifts in the southern city-states are almost visible to the naked eye, rapidly providing a large amount of faith.

loyalty!

That's right, with her enhanced special effects this time, who wouldn't be impressed?

Xia He looked around and saw that the people of the city-state who had previously been skeptical were now kneeling and worshipping with trepidation, afraid of being seen as impious. Under Song Jingyun's leadership, they all burned incense and offered sacrifices to the heavens.

The original emotion of religion is fear. Nowadays, the way of heaven doesn't need to frighten people; simply setting up a formation is enough to shock the world.

"Praise be to you, you are supreme."

Even in Wangjiang City, which was not interested in the Heavenly Dao Sect's beliefs, many believers were converted and converted on the spot. Others did not dare to do anything to them because they were also looking at the golden auspicious cloud with fear.

Do you dare to harm His believers in front of Heaven's will? That's truly audacious.

A good time.

Those who already believed in the Heavenly Dao Sect began spreading the word: "Did you see that? He has descended once again."

"If you continue to be enemies of the Great Qian, you will face divine punishment."

"We're finished. That guy will definitely burn Wangjiang to the ground in a fit of rage."

"The only salvation is conversion."

Xia He wanted to clarify that she wasn't that scary, and couldn't be bothered to argue. Moreover, the little machine, like its creator, disliked the One God Cult's ideology and rigorously reviewed the Heavenly Dao Sect's content.

Among these measures, threats such as "punishment by heavenly fire" or "going to hell if you don't believe" will be strictly prohibited, and any missionary who dares to make such threats will be severely punished.

Instead, it is full of advanced sociological theories such as "seeking truth from facts" and "dialectics".

So be it.

She had no intention of correcting anything. Besides, the believers of Wangjiang City were also trying to protect themselves and force the emperor to resign. They wanted to take advantage of this wave of influence to expand their influence. There would definitely be some excitement afterward.

Anyway, it's a matter for Feng Tianyin, so there's no need to interfere.

After looking at this area, Xia He withdrew her gaze and continued to check on the situation in Daqian. The various vassal states were developing smoothly.

The [Emperor's Feudal System] doesn't need to be changed for the time being; the benefits are high enough.

[Under rapid development]

Being a vassal state in a "feudal state" status allows for accelerated border expansion, exerting influence over surrounding areas, and resulting in benefits being credited to the suzerain state.

[For details, please view the attributes of each city-state...]

The fact that Daqian was able to infiltrate so many city-states in the southern region this time was inseparable from this influence strategy. It actually put considerable pressure on the surrounding political entities, so they did have an incentive to resist. Unfortunately, they failed and instead became part of it.

We are a loving family now.

It was just right for Feng Tianyin to maintain the feudal system, since the alienation of the feudal states often stemmed from the fact that the suzerain state and the feudal states were changing hands several times over, gradually becoming estranged.

She was always online, which at least ensured the long-term stability of the suzerain state and exerted a strong deterrent effect on every vassal state.

According to the Daqian system, these candidates for feudal lords returned to Xiayi to study when they were young.

Occasionally, I would encounter Feng Tianyin giving a lecture.

They grew up in an environment influenced by the high priest, whose natural authority was unshakeable, and they respected him as they grew up.

No one is more suited to using the feudal system than the Little Machine.

Xia He continued to survey the territory, where, as always, the Great Qian Dynasty was busy building roads, water conservancy projects, and workshops—it was never enough, the demand was like a bottomless pit. Coupled with the consistent policy support from the temple, everyone was extremely enthusiastic.

To get rich.

First, build the road.

Following this principle, the Daqian region has a well-developed road network, which is distributed in a crisscross pattern, just like the fields.

"I've shown you how to build infrastructure in the classical period."

The public facilities that can be built in this era are actually quite limited, constrained by technological limitations. But Feng Tianyin still strives to do her best, setting up a sufficient number of post stations, churches, ports, and other facilities, which have become the main arteries of this prosperous country.

If it weren't for the shortage of manpower, she probably would have started a mega-project like the Grand Canal long ago.

We're not making any changes because we're still a bit small.

But that may not be the case now, because Xia He saw that the [effectively controlled population: 302 million] was developing faster than expected, and this was a basic data point sufficient to support the snowballing expansion.

The slow growth in the past, when the number of people was in the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, was because the base number was already fixed.

A simple math problem.

Starting from a base of one million people, growing to tens of millions is not difficult.

No wonder Feng Tianyin insisted on sending troops to conquer the Southern Blessed Plain at the end of this decade. With the super artificial intelligence computing power, she drew up a population model in no time and realized that a large amount of arable land was necessary.

“The inland areas have taken up such a prime location, and there’s not much left.” Xia He searched further south: “It’s mostly hills and coastal plains.”

The reason why Qingzhou and Minyue in that area had a population comparable to that of Daqian was because of their abundant marine resources.

The ocean can also supplement agriculture and animal husbandry.

After reading it once, her gaze focused on Feng Tianyin.

"Your Majesty?"

The gray-haired girl, sensing the gaze, smiled with delight. Then, pretending not to notice the stare from above, she picked up the statue, looking as if she was looking forward to possessing it again.

"You child, you've even managed to guide me like this... Well then, I'll grant your wish."

Before she could finish speaking, Xia He adopted a statue-like perspective.

Because I had used it before, I was familiar with the process and the pre-written program ran directly, which meant the possession was successful.

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

"Well done, Tianyin, you've made great progress this time."

The white jade statue praised without reservation, and at the same time reached out to touch the head of Tianyin, who had hurriedly squatted down and held it high. The latter looked delighted, and the stiffness of the human-machine interface at the corner of her mouth was greatly reduced.
