You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

Spineless.

It's unrealistic to expect them to plot a rebellion; after being brutally beaten, they've lost their backbone and are unlikely to amount to anything.

"Is it true that the Heavenly Dao briefly descended when Cuiwei City was founded?"

"Of course, we all saw it. It was magnificent. The city walls were built in an instant. We tested them, and they are quite sturdy. We can move in at any time. Even the main roads and the city center have been built. It is a city miraculously rebuilt."

"Your words have even made me tempted."

"The relocation will definitely be arranged next. This is an order given to the High Priest by the Heavenly Dao. It should be quite a lively event."

"These are all big moves; we're going to be busy from now on."

“A group of barbarians actually witnessed a miracle, and I didn’t even get to see it.”

"Now that they have witnessed the greatness of the will of Heaven, it is no wonder that they cannot muster the will to resist. They should also abandon their backward and evil shamanistic beliefs. Only what the Great Qian Dynasty believes in is orthodox."

"Yes."

Everyone was excited when they talked about the arrival of the Heavenly Dao, and they were very interested in the Cuiwei City that He created with a single thought, and couldn't wait to see it.

Feng Tianyin naturally noticed everyone's longing.

She had been planning to relocate, since Xiayi was becoming increasingly crowded and densely populated, and the current productivity could not support such an overly large city, so the burden needed to be reduced.

Otherwise, the proliferation of infectious diseases, environmental pollution, and deterioration of public security—all the problems plaguing big cities—will become increasingly troublesome.

Separating cities is a good option.

Cities that have been elevated by the heavens have become excellent advertisements; what could be more effective at promotion?

Perhaps Feng Tianyin doesn't need to worry about how to mobilize people to relocate. The most difficult step was completed in an instant under the operation of the Heavenly Dao. Could it be that the one who foresaw this and laid the groundwork?

They returned to the temple district with the gray-haired girl, who was deep in thought.

However, instead of returning to the office, she watched the large group put the supplies in one by one, which was also the last time she witnessed it firsthand.

Its purple eyes zoomed in and out like a camera, instantly scanning the supplies and memorizing everything.

Maybe we won't need it.

But she needs to gather information and be well-informed.

The scans were often completed in an instant, just as they didn't interrupt the conversation at this moment. Li Zhengxuan and Lu Chen quickly approached, bowing and asking the expected question: "Sir, we've reduced Sang He's sentence. What's the next step?"

“Release him, and then I will put him in charge of the initial management of those slaves. No one is more suitable for the position than him.”

The response was as expected.

The High Priest's style is calm and reserved; he rarely uses unconventional tactics, and this proved to be true. Lu Chen looked at Li Zhengxuan with admiration; the latter smiled faintly, confirming his suspicions.

“You’ve done a great job, but there are still some slaves to be imprisoned, and there will be more cases related to them. Thank you for your hard work.”

"Everything is for the sake of the Great Qian Dynasty!"

The two immediately expressed their selflessness and loyalty.

Feng Tianyin didn't hide anything and continued, "I will give the prison more funding."

"The judiciary also needs to be formalized. There will be more and more trouble in the future, so we will eventually have to set up a department and hand it over to you."

"clear! "

They understood perfectly well that this was an opportunity to increase their power. Although there would be no immediate change in position, the sheer size of the position meant it carried significant weight, making it hard not to welcome; in fact, they were more than happy to accept it. Clearly, the High Priest considered himself a reliable person.

Meanwhile, Yu Xueshan arrived late on the other side.

"My lord, I have already convened a meeting."

"Everyone needs to be present tonight to discuss the division of the city, so you should all prepare yourselves."

Chapter 32 I'm so lucky

All the permanent senior clerks were taken aback upon hearing the news of the meeting.

How long?

As everyone knows, Feng Tianyin is not the type to like meetings and hates discussing things with a group of people. Even when she does gather people together, it's just a notification.

She doesn't dislike crowds, but rather inefficiency.

There's a saying within the temple organization: "Big matters are discussed in small meetings, and small matters are discussed in large meetings." This is quite apt. However, the high priest doesn't consider small matters worthy of serious discussion, so large meetings are almost never held. Besides, the scribes are almost never all present.

For example, the top two performers in the first assessment were both in charge of military affairs. Logistics and military supplies were basically under their command, and they were constantly on the move.

Therefore, it is difficult to gather enough people.

Don't be fooled by the mere 20 people; they are all incredibly busy and have extraordinary energy.

Their ability to keep up with Feng Tianyin's superhuman pace is a testament to their talent. Working in the temple not only tests intelligence and emotional intelligence, but also physical strength, as health is the foundation of everything.

Fortunately, everyone did make it today.

Therefore, following Yu Xue's order, the clerks quickly went to the conference room.

Over the years, the temple's staff has grown to far more than just a few people, but they have also been promoted.

Senior veteran.

The current senior clerks who can work independently were among the first batch of people to pass the assessment back then.

Even the proud city dwellers of Xiayi now refer to him as a "big shot."

Privilege represents status.

Although no formal regulations have been established, in practice they are naturally exempt from corvée labor and conscription, and their compensation is generous, their reimbursement is high, and they are exempt from taxes... In this respect, the high priest is generous, ensuring their interests.

Wolf culture requires tangible rewards, not just empty promises.

In terms of treatment, no one can compare to Feng Tianyin, but in terms of salary, she hardly receives any wages and even manages to keep her personal expenses to almost zero.

After all, it's about not eating, drinking, or having entertainment.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the High Priest was undoubtedly a god, no wonder he could connect with the Heavenly Dao through brainwaves.

------

At dusk, all the permanent senior clerks gathered in the conference room.

Upon opening the door, they saw the gray-haired girl at the head of the table flipping through documents. These were documents accumulated during the campaign, and even the signatures and approvals that had been done on behalf of others had to be read through.

She will remember this well, ensuring that every detail of her work is traceable, meticulous, and thorough.

"Let's begin."

The meeting was announced by Yu Xue, who was standing next to Feng Tianyin, because the former never bothered with formalities and preferred to get straight to the point.

Before everyone could sit down, the boss spoke:

"The Heavenly Dao has issued its order to complete the control and construction of Cuiwei City as soon as possible, guarding the Dragon Vein Mountain and the Stream River, forming a relatively closed geographical unit on the east side, with room for both advance and retreat."

"According to my calculations, relocating 2 people would be appropriate, but the administrative capacity must keep up, and management is very important."

"An army marches on its stomach; do your respective departments have enough manpower?"

It must be enough!

Logically speaking, one should give a comprehensive answer.

However, Feng Tianyin must know everything clearly, and probably has a figure in mind. Exaggerating it too much would be inappropriate if it exceeded her capabilities.

She has an unparalleled keen insight into all numerical decisions, making her a veritable walking database. Collecting information isn't difficult; the challenge lies in ensuring that top decision-makers consistently refer to it and make timely adjustments. Therefore, no question from her can be taken lightly.

Everyone reported their numbers.

"My lord, I'm making a conservative estimate. After all, Xia Yi's population has also increased, hasn't it? I'm not sure."

"Yes, no one knows what the situation will be like in Cuiwei City, so we can send them in batches."

She nodded in agreement: "Of course, it will be done in batches."

"We also need more colleagues, otherwise everyone will be exhausted, which will only waste our efficiency. I plan to move in 5000 people in the fall to see how it goes."

It was clear from her opening remarks that Feng Tianyin already had a timetable in mind; her thinking was clear.

really.

Having a meeting with their boss always gives them a relaxed feeling that the other party has a clear grasp of the overall situation and is just making minor adjustments to the answers. Moreover, there is not a single wasted word in the entire meeting, and of course, there are no unnecessary pointers.

Like a ruthless question-and-answer machine.

"You mean, conduct another assessment?"

"No need. Everyone is already busy. Adding more complications will reduce efficiency. Just use the juniors trained by your subordinates."

Everyone nodded, both pleased and nervous. It was good that their apprentices could continue to be useful, but what if those idiots, who were always a bit dim-witted, caused trouble in the future?

My reputation as a teacher will be ruined.

But then he thought that his colleagues all had idiots under their command who were sent to the branch cities, and who knows who might cause trouble.

"Don't worry, I'm lenient with some people who haven't been tested. The so-called training is precisely about growing through trial and error, and Cuiwei City also needs to grow."

“The High Priest is absolutely right. We will also keep a close eye on the younger generation.”

"Next up are the winter supplies over there..."

late at night.

The meeting lasted from dusk until the moonlight was high in the sky. The temple remained brightly lit all night long before everyone finally left.

During this period, they ate their meals in the conference room, emphasizing that every second counted. Fortunately, the progress was fast this time, and the macro-level scheduling issues were basically resolved; otherwise, their immediate supervisor would never have let them go.

Feng Tianyin stood on the balcony with her hands behind her back, gazing at the starry sky. The Milky Way hung upside down, its light dazzling.

Her world is brighter than the night in the Heavenly Realm.

Even with just a candle flame, it is bright.

Yu Xue draped a blanket over the gray-haired girl: "Is it rare for the High Priest to have the leisure to appreciate the scenery?"

"I'm just thinking that I can see the whole of Xiayi at a glance now. Once branch cities are established, there will be more and more cities, which will also create a lot of troubles. I need to be more capable and iterate faster... What is this sense of urgency?"

"It's a problem."

"—So even the High Priest has worries."
