You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

For example, this war actually only mobilized the forces of the cities in the Cifu Basin, with Xiayi as the leader.

They even incorporated Qingzhou's resources in the latter half of the campaign.

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

When playing games, she focuses on developing areas with high potential, while the surrounding areas are just takeout food that she will eventually conquer.

Xia He turned her attention back to the interior of Daqian, the most prominent of which was shipping.

Feng Tianyin has been continuously engaged in water conservancy projects.

Even the Western Regions river valleys and the northern grasslands, which did not have direct shipping routes, were connected by a large number of horse-drawn caravans. The goods were transported to inland port cities and then set sail, thus saving on logistics costs.

"That's very thoughtful; it must have been planned long ago."

The supercomputing power of the miniature machine is sufficient to coordinate the entire country as a whole, making plans down to the smallest detail.

Having a transportation infrastructure means a large exchange of resources, which enriches products in various regions. Moreover, "transporting goods from places with more to places with less" can also suppress prices and adjust living standards.

Livability +1

On the other hand, it was due to the influx of technology from the South.

Although Feng Tianyin single-handedly propelled the rapid development of science and technology in the previous decade, she was actually not as adept at the details of shipbuilding as the South.

The victory in the naval battle was due to a series of tactics and advantages; a direct confrontation would have had unpredictable consequences. In particular, there was a significant difference in sailor skill; too many northerners were unable to swim. Now, this weakness has been addressed.

The temple officially recruited outstanding sailors and provided them with subsidies.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Besides, there's nothing dangerous about it; it's just safe inland waterway shipping, and being a driver is all I need.

As a result, a large number of southern sailors joined the logistics system, further improving transportation efficiency.

It can be done without applying any buffs.

Xia He was originally considering using the relevant buffs, but Feng Tianyin managed to handle it through operations. Good resources should be used where they are most needed. In the planning of the small bots, there is no need to waste the transportation benefits here.

in contrast.

Using her authority, she gradually removed the war buffs from the cities under her control and began her missionary work. Numerous temples were built, and priests and scribes were stationed there, forming new administrative units.

The Great Qian Dynasty's management of religion is not about cultivating parasites, but rather a system.

Just as the first administrative department is the temple, which combines political and religious functions, it is replicated every time it goes to a new place.

"Is it necessary to display so many statues?"

Xia He glanced around and realized how many of her own statues were receiving incense and prayers.

How embarrassing.

Since the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao acquired a physical appearance, the faith power of the Great Qian Dynasty has skyrocketed, converting more and more true believers and even fanatics.

If it weren't for the Taoist doctrine emphasizing pragmatism and materialism, I don't know what they would do.

In short, the faith was successfully spread in the South.

In contrast, psionic research has also advanced significantly, with a large number of tokens and psionic weapons being manufactured, forming a mature industry that forces warp pollution to retreat.

"Hurry up and move on."

After confirming that everything was going smoothly, Xia He turned on the time multiplication gear.

Time flies by rapidly in the game screen view, as if everything is playing in fast-forward.

Moving swiftly into the next decade.

In an instant, ships and carriages vanished like afterimages as they passed through the city, while the city itself expanded and transformed. Newly reclaimed fields stretched across the plains, and even large-scale aquaculture farms appeared in the ocean…

Xia He was surprised to find that her dynamic vision could keep up!

Weird.

Logically speaking, the highest speed-up of "Civilization Evolution" should be so fast that it flickers at the frame rate, yet I can still see it clearly?

My body has indeed changed.

It might be related to the game, but that's just speculation. There's no evidence or logic to it, and I really don't understand it.

click!

The game automatically paused as it fast-forwarded to near the next turn, and Xia He shook her head, no longer bothering to dwell on it. In any case, the answer was definitely related to the changes taking place in the Great Qian Dynasty.

She lowered her gaze again.

Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the most significant change is in the blessed plains of the south.

When Qingzhou and Minyue in the south were no longer a threat, the residents of this land could finally live and work in peace and contentment. In addition, the agricultural technology of the Great Qian Dynasty created tens of millions of acres of fertile land, turning it into a super granary.

The hilly and river valley regions of the south, which already combine agriculture and fishing, are also developing rapidly and are thriving.

Feng Tianyin's philosophy is to conquer wherever you can and plant wherever you want.

Development is the most important thing.

Inheriting the game management experience of the creator, she spent money over the past 7 years to encourage the development of agriculture and fisheries, making the entire Daqian Dynasty show "abundant surplus" and "ensuring food and clothing". In the classical era, this can be regarded as a good deed.

Even in modern society, it's not bad, after all, the Great Qian Dynasty absolutely guaranteed basic needs like food and clothing.

No matter how useless a person is, as long as they don't do anything immoral, they are not worth dying for, as they can still live to provide faith. They are protected by the Heavenly Way, so the higher-ups of the temple will never allow them to starve or freeze to death. Such news cannot be kept from them, and once it appears, they will be severely punished.

In addition, there is the development of medical technology.

Xia He checked the log and was shocked to find: [Microscope invented, Research Points +10]

The first observatory has been completed on Mount Kurong, Research Points +15

[Medical school formally proposes microbial theory...]

That's an exaggeration.

With Feng Tianyin's powerful influence behind the scenes, and thanks to the accumulated scientific and technological advancements, hygiene and disease prevention were proposed, which greatly reduced the infant mortality rate. As a result, the population explosion in Daqian continued.

PS

February will continue with long chapter updates, so please vote for me and give me some heart-pounding gifts!

Chapter 141 Become Emperor, Little Machine (6K)

Xiahe's population curve has been steadily rising.

It's almost like the eve of the Industrial Revolution. In a sense, this peak is the highest, because the birth rate actually declines after the Industrial Revolution becomes widespread.

Of course, Feng Tianyin will definitely take steps to curb the population decline afterward.

This is the core KPI.

She considered this a key indicator and forced local officials to pay attention to it, further promoting the development of the Great Qian Dynasty. Therefore, the current figures are astonishing: [Effectively controlled population: 1240 million]

In fact, when they occupied Qingzhou and Minyue, the population was almost 800 million. It would be strange if it didn't surge after this period of recuperation.

One of the reasons the Little Man Machines started the Southern War was the population.

We must accumulate human resources for the Age of Exploration.

Not to mention which large-scale industry in the future wouldn't need a large workforce? So the figures presented to Xia He were quite impressive, all thanks to medical technology and social security that were ahead of their time.

"Faster than expected."

After all, England during the Industrial Revolution only had a population of tens of millions, and now it has barely crossed the threshold.

However, the actual manpower required is another matter.

The Great Qian Dynasty doesn't have many colonies to do the work for the time being, nor is it willing to outsource too much work, and it doesn't want to over-exploit its compatriots, so it can only have more people share the burden.

not enough.

A population of ten million is already a behemoth, but it falls far short of Feng Tianyin's plans.

The current standards are actually the result of the efforts of all parties, such as the great efforts made by the academy. When Xia He retrieved the detailed log records, she was surprised to find that hardware such as surgical scissors, hemostatic forceps, and allicin had also been invented.

This indicates that the smelting level is excellent.

Looking at the workshop area again, the smelting level had indeed improved to the point of producing primitive alloys, and they knew how to make preliminary use of the formula.

The technical guidance from Feng Tianyin, combined with the accumulation of scientific knowledge over the years in Daqian, is fermenting. What seems like a micro-level change will actually have a scale effect when it flows into various industries. And this is only a minor improvement in the technology.

Large-scale water conservancy facilities, roads, and buildings have also continued to be constructed.

Early versions of cement have already quietly appeared.

They reinforced and strengthened the city walls, and the materials and structures supported the emergence of larger-scale buildings, so that more giants appeared on the city horizon.

The landscape was transformed.

Xia He once heard a saying that "changes in the height of urban buildings reflect technological advancements." While not absolute, it certainly paints a picture of a nascent new era, as towering structures always evoke a sense of grandeur.

In particular, everyone in the Great Qian Dynasty loved wonders, and with the advent of new technologies, they built ever larger and larger structures.

In the Great Qian Temple, the ceiling height of a region is often represented. If it is surpassed, then new and larger temples are built, making them more and more magnificent, after all, they embody the image of "approaching the way of heaven".

Xia He thought to herself, "If I pop out of the ground, are you guys going to dig through the earth's core for special effects?"

high.

It has become a new feature of Daqian City in recent years.

Meanwhile, on the distant coastline, three-masted sailing ships dominate, shuttling between various ports. They have also expanded to even greater distances, with the fog of war revealing vast oceans, including maritime city-states.

Although no other countries have been found yet, the people of Daqian are actually relieved, at least they are not alone.

There was once a saying that "the land beneath our feet, a gift from heaven, is the world," which made Terra seem insignificant.

That's definitely not right.

However, it resonated with the conservative tendencies of the agrarian economy and became very popular.

Moreover, there's an underlying sense of anxiety and reverence—a fear of being the only one in the world, yet a feeling of being unique and blessed by heaven… a stark contradiction. Fortunately, as they explored other city-state civilizations, this argument crumbled on its own.

The seafaring experience fueled the people of Daqian's desire for exploration.

Xia He has already noticed the clue [Changes in Ideology: Exploration Abroad +5], so she is more inclined to go overseas.
