You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

In the scholarly families of the Great Qian Dynasty, almost all members were landlords, so they would always let their children try their hand at wielding a hoe a couple of times, which was considered part of the family's traditional education.

Jiang Bai suggested, "I think it would be better to cover children aged 4 to 6, and the courses should be staggered from the farming season."

"Let's do it this way."

Feng Tianyin's determined efforts will soon be implemented and will flourish everywhere.

Given the capabilities of the newly formed Chaoyi team during their period of enthusiasm, promoting compulsory education wouldn't be difficult, especially since she didn't have many requirements in the early stages. Basic literacy and arithmetic skills were sufficient, barely enough.

Instead, we began to focus on the next item:

"The Navy has completed the repairs of the damaged ships. Some ships are beyond repair and are planned to be scrapped..." Sure enough, towing back the badly damaged ships was of no use; they could not be saved with current technology.

Feng Tianyin immediately drafted a standard: dismantle according to the instructions, make the most of waste materials, and retain meritorious ships.

Building a naval museum afterward would be a good option.

The key documents are those that follow closely behind, such as the "New Shipbuilding Plan" and "Naval Recruitment".

ask for money.

This is the core idea.

She approved it without hesitation. There was no point in agonizing over it. After all, the current buffs were aimed at naval combat power, and the sooner the better. They should complete a round of territorial expansion within the next 10 years and strive to control the inland seas.

However, this strategic plan has not yet been announced.

Once the high priest makes it public, everyone rushes to get things done, which can easily lead to mistakes.

Feng Tianyin's style has always been to create momentum and advance her strategy gradually, with each step closely linked and coordinated. Therefore, she doesn't need to make any high-profile declarations; the momentum she builds little by little is enough to overwhelm everything.

Next came a thick stack of documents.

All the exquisitely packaged letters should be categorized under "Letters from the City-States of the Sea".

They have all recently sent official letters of credence.

With a serious and responsible attitude, Feng Tianyin would even look at the reports from tiny countries, but the content was unremarkable, consisting mainly of boasting, admiration, and greetings. The more practical ones were intentions such as escorting ships and opening up trade.

This contains some useful information.

The city lords must have known about the high priest's usual attitude before writing the letter, so the small talk was brief, and they quickly got to the point.

Since that's the case, she naturally had to respond:

"Ke Rong, send a delegation to conduct an on-site inspection, and then let the caravan move in."

“Gengtana, the priests you sent over must also cooperate.”

The two accepted the order.

In addition to the letters, Feng Tianyin also received a large number of gifts, all of which were local specialties from various city-states, and all were exquisite handicrafts. This was enough to prove that their handicraft skills were quite advanced.

Unfortunately, with the dawn of the Industrial Age, the city-states will be severely impacted, and they won't have time to boast anymore.

"All the gifts were taken into the temple museum, which also allowed the delegation to bring back more gifts."

These exchanges were familiar to Daqian.

The Dao of Heaven once said that one of the reasons why an empire is an empire is its position as an arbitrator in handling relations between various parties; to put it bluntly, it is its strong diplomatic power.

The Great Qian Dynasty can now stir up trouble simply through diplomatic maneuvers.

Also.

Official communications were actually a step too late. The "Overview of Port Tax Records" and "Registration of Newly Added Ships in the First Quarter" that Feng Tianyin saw later all indicated that the best advertisement for the rapid expansion of trade was the recent naval battle.

Daqian's cargo delivery capabilities are reliable.

With other supplies, there are always various worries, such as the fear of not being able to deliver, or even the goods sinking halfway. In any case, many accident cases she has seen involve goods being scattered at sea, resulting in wasted money.

Even though the clans were defeated, there were still pirates, and with the lack of advanced technology, there was a risk of frequent accidents at sea.

In contrast, Daqian possesses well-trained sailors and a top-notch shipbuilding industry.

safety.

This is what ship owners value, which is why many merchants from maritime city-states no longer favor their own ships, but instead place orders with the Great Qian.

It is easy to imagine that the shipyards that received funding prospered.

The subsidy expenditure originally approved by Feng Tianyin has already been recovered in the tax revenue generated from the orders.

I spent almost no money.

In the process, Daqian gained more skilled workers, a more mature industry, a larger shipyard, and, more importantly, a brand effect that made ship owners only recognize this product.

She immediately retrieved the access permissions information:

[City: Zhenhai. Current productivity level: Early Steam Age]

【Population: 65】

As the largest city in Qingzhou, it is already catching up with Xiayi. Although many technologies are still immature, a large amount of resources are flowing in to support the continuous growth of this behemoth.

Its development speed has exceeded expectations.

Feng Tianyin can relax now; all that's left is to wait it out. The general layout for this round is complete.

“The Academy and the Inner Sanctuary need to increase their research efforts, and I will approve more funding.” She looked at the black-haired, black-eyed girl. “Gengantana, in particular, you need to continue your research on psionic energy. The temple will invest more resources in you over the next few years.”

Upon hearing this, the great prophet immediately nodded, looking like a miser.

PS

I was too busy during the Chinese New Year holiday and carelessly caused a chapter to be out of order. Although it has been corrected, as compensation, I will update with 10,000 words tomorrow. I wish all readers all the best.

Chapter 152 Technological Boom (10K)

After a new round of leadership changes at the temple.

Even Bayar, a high-ranking official in the inner palace, retired from the front lines and often went sightseeing with He Huang, finally giving them some peace and quiet.

With his final task for Coron completed, this legendary veteran will also resign.

Feng Tianyin couldn't help but sigh. Some of them were nearly a hundred years old, like Ke Rong, while others passed away at the age of seventy, like Dean Xue back then, which reminded her of the passage of time.

If only everyone could live a long and durable life.

Most of the work in the inner palace this year fell to Song Qingyun.

At this moment, she led a group of priests to receive the enormous mermaid remains, which remained fresh even after so many years, showing no signs of decay and still brimming with vitality.

Its enormous body lay in the center of the magic circle.

The magic array is composed of countless runes, which were given by the Heavenly Dao to carry spiritual energy and form the metaphysical foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty.

hum!

The first step is to perform a purification ritual as a sign of respect, leaving no opportunity for the enemy to spread contamination. Extreme caution is exercised throughout, employing the highest level of epidemic prevention measures; each priest is fully equipped with a mask and full protective gear.

They are experienced and powerful; they can hold this thing down even if it comes back to life.

Song Jingyun took the initiative to step forward.

Holding a long sword, he plunged it into the mermaid's chest, the very origin of psionic energy, brimming with surging power. Several priests beside him assisted, and together they dissected the body.

Even if the mermaid leader were dead, it would be difficult for him to break through the defenses.

click!

Blades kept breaking off, but the priests calmly replaced them, reinforcing the scalpels with psionic energy.

Simple anatomical techniques were not difficult for them.

Don't forget that High Priest Feng Tianyin was originally a witch doctor.

Before her promotion, she was renowned for her medical skills, and it was because of saving countless lives that she was chosen as the High Priestess and reigned over the Great Qian Dynasty for a century. Therefore, her successors often emulated her success, and this process was also reflected in the training of priests.

Therefore, everyone in the inner palace is proficient in theology, combat, and medicine. As for psychic energy, isn't that the most basic thing?

Pfft!

A heart slid from the mermaid leader's chest, the blood-red light wrapped around it piercing out like a spear, enough to kill instantly.

Song Jingyun was prepared.

Almost simultaneously, the blade in her hand flashed, and she cut them down one by one.

The weak priests clearly saw the spear of blood vessels pierce right in front of them, just a hair's breadth away. Although they had prepared defenses and reinforcements, a real piercing would certainly have been fatal.

After the blow, his heart was completely weakened and listless.

Now things are really messed up; we have to save it instead. Song Xuyun waved his hand, and a massive coil motor was pushed over from the other side. They even brought over an electric eel! Forget about the original art style, just tell me, can't you at least get electrocuted?

"Initiate defibrillation."

The massive electrical energy flowed into the heart, which was originally sluggish but began to beat.

The bizarre scene of the rescue amazed the priests who were involved.

After a lot of trouble.

After being reactivated by the electric shock, the heart was soaked in medicinal wine. In this era where the chemical industry is underdeveloped, only traditional medicinal wine can be used. Fortunately, the guy liked it and barely managed to maintain his vitality.

On the contrary, the merman leader's corpse decayed at a visible rate, just as predicted, the key lay in the heart.

"It is a blessing from the evil god of warp life."

After careful comparison, the priests reached a conclusion and deduced:

"Perhaps we can try to extract life force. If we succeed in combining it with the current spiritual energy cultivation methods of the Great Qian Dynasty, it can greatly improve health and even extend lifespan."

Song Jingyun shook her head.

"But conversely, there's a high probability of contamination. We need to find a way to utilize life energy without corrupting it?"

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions clearly saying, "Dream on." Of course, despite the complaints, everyone acknowledged Song Xuyun's abilities; if the research were successful, it would be a tremendous and crucial achievement.

However, the warp gods are no joke.

He had just launched a sneak attack while enduring the constant suppressive power of the cathedral.

very dangerous.
