You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

Seeing the message "Regional tensions are decreasing" from behind, Feng Tianyin knew the plan was effective. Unfortunately, it also showed the negative state of "chaotic administrative organs," indicating that both Saran and Malaya were effectively incompetent governments.

Both countries are still reeling from the chaos.

Having gone to the very end, the Great Qian Dynasty had no choice but to start considering helping them rebuild their government, since they couldn't be without a leader.

If everything falls into chaos, are we supposed to have the temple negotiate with each warlord and local tycoon one by one?

That would be troublesome.

Therefore, Feng Tianyin sent a group of diplomatic envoys to work with the priests and the army to help the disaster area carry out administrative reconstruction, so that their king could regain his throne and at least have someone in charge.

She considered it a way for her subordinates to gain experience.

Foreign affairs are now being handled by Koh Rong's successor, Kao Hsing-chou.

He was negotiating with the king and ministers on the island of Saran. As a southerner who had entered the temple early to engage in diplomatic work, he finally had a big mission.

"We've been talking for two days, and the terms I've offered are generous enough. You can make the final decision now."

"I sign."

The king sighed and made his decision.

Hearing this, Gao Xingzhou smiled, his heart leaping with joy. His first project since taking office had been perfectly completed, enough to satisfy the High Priest. After all, the reconstruction plan contained many political clauses, such as opening ports, allowing military presence, and tariff reductions, among other things.

The Great Qian Dynasty is not here to build for nothing; we must ensure that its interests are protected.

Moreover, as the chief diplomat, Gao Xingzhou was well aware of his superior's strategy:

Unify the inland sea.

As long as the sea between the mainland and the mainland does not belong to the Heavenly Dao Sect, then infiltration must continue for a day. Of course, we cannot overdo it and exhaust all resources, so the middle way in the plan is the best way to demonstrate our capabilities.

Thanks to this pirate war, countless colleagues were promoted as a result.

Top floor of the temple.

Feng Tianyin received news from the disaster area one after another.

Agreements have been secured with Saran and Malaysia; the final revised and supplementary plan is as follows…

All the handwritten letters and document copies from Gao Xingzhou arrived, and she memorized them at a glance. She immediately approved them and added her own signature, thus making them part of the history of the Great Library.

A new national order was established in both countries.

With a single stroke of her pen, she could influence the fate of millions of people in the target region.

Although Feng Tianyin had made her decision, she still circulated the copy around.

Gengtana immediately noticed the religious clauses. "Oh, that newcomer is quite capable. He actually got them to use their own funds to build a temple to the Heavenly Dao. Brilliant, that's quite a clever tactic."

After some persuasion, he actually got the other party to include the Heavenly Dao Sect in the state religion and support it; he was quite eloquent.

"However, it was relatively conservative in other aspects."

"Your Excellency the Great Prophet, after all, we must also consider their capacity to withstand it."

Jiang Bai was also very satisfied.

If she were to be exploited too much in the future and cause chaos, wouldn't that increase her workload? Moreover, Gao Xingzhou is efficient yet tactful in his work, because he prioritizes the affairs of the Heavenly Dao Sect and strives for the best possible conditions.

Naturally, this pleased Gegentana and Feng Tianyin, both of whom hoped to further increase the number of believers.

This marks the first time that the status of the state religion has been accepted overseas.

Can be imagined.

The inner sanctuary will expand its ranks with a new batch of priests sent abroad, all under the supervision of the Great Prophet. This behemoth intends to extend its reach far overseas and establish a firm foothold.

"I propose to establish a foreign intelligence department. The plan is here. Please provide me with a list of recommended candidates for key positions within a week."

Feng Tianyin suddenly sent over a thick stack of documents.

They must have given it a lot of thought.

Jiang Bai felt the weight of the object in her hand; it was substantial. The significance behind it was immense: a brand-new, powerful department that had exerted its influence would undoubtedly increase her power, and her influence within the temple would rise accordingly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The new department's proposal was the actual reward given to the chief civil officer in this war.

After all, frontline deployments wouldn't be complete without Jiang Bai's rear operations.

During this period, Feng Tianyin and Gegentana mainly focused on subspace and religious affairs, leaving the burden to her, and only now is the situation easing.

Subspace has calmed down.

After handing the task over to Jiang Bai, the High Priest focused on his work.

On the one hand, it ensures the stability of the subspace. Sure enough, the psionic consciousness can confirm through the Xia Yi rift that the demons are demoralized after this battle and it will be difficult for them to launch a "space rift-level invasion" disaster in a short period of time.

They at most occasionally spread pollution.

As long as it's not that large-scale, given the current average combat capability of intercontinental seas, and with the support of new technologies, we can easily handle ordinary pollution incidents, so the next ten years should be quite peaceful.

On the other hand, Feng Tianyin began to turn her attention to an important overseas resource:

labor force.

Yes, it's the same old story again.

The Great Qian Dynasty currently has a population of 2000 million, but it is not yet fully industrialized and needs external labor. The first choice is, of course, the Borneo, with a population of over 1400 million, and the combined size of the two is considerable.

However, in her collaborative plan with Zhuang Qing, each of them had to carry out initial industrialization.

Because the two happen to be the north and south shores of the intercontinental sea.

They've planned it all out.

The population is simply not enough to plan an "industrial cluster belt" centered on the inland sea coast.

The old method: simply siphon off labor.

Feng Tianyin immediately formulated the "Labor Import Standards" to regulate the process in advance. In fact, this set of documents was not just about hiring. For example, the target small countries and city-states had a large agricultural population, totaling tens of millions, but why would they leave their homes?

These agricultural populations are scattered across inefficient fields, attached to their land, and unwilling to leave easily.

Then let's cut off the fuel supply.

Feng Tianyin intends to export the terrifyingly large grain production of the Great Qian Dynasty, thus shattering their self-sufficiency. She guarantees high quality, low prices, pleasant taste, and rich nutrition, using market competition to prevent overseas agricultural populations from cultivating the land.

As for whether there will be countermeasures such as trade protectionism?

Look how happy the Great Qian Navy is, still not satisfied after just finishing a battle.

Instead of toiling away, it's better to join the industrialization trend.

In any case, since the mainland and its maritime communities share the same written language and standardize their transportation systems, which falls under the scope of the "Greater Qianlong Culture," it won't cause too many conflicts.

The key lies in the temple's administrative capabilities.

Feng Tianyin understood her own and her colleagues' capabilities. As long as the overseas agricultural population was converted into industrial labor, there were ways to manage them properly, and this would become one of her key tasks.

The high priest, as always, was busy until noon without taking a break.

Senior clerks usually eat in their offices, but today is different.

"Fang Shu, Hou Yun, let's go eat."

Jiang Bai gave him a wink.

The two students exchanged a glance and then said in unison, "Yes, teacher."

It's lunch break time now, and despite their unprofessional conduct, both of them, being at least senior clerks, possess at least a basic political acumen.

The three of them, master and disciples, arrived together at the dining hall on the middle floor of the temple.

Its name is simple but its interior is luxurious, because Feng Tianyin regarded the construction of the canteen as a compensatory benefit, allowing everyone to have a good meal after a busy work period, and it brings together the best culinary team in the country.

Jiang Bai chose a private room.

In fact, the private rooms here are always packed, but she always manages to save one for her.

No need to order; just wait for the chef to bring out the daily menu.

Although they could order extra dishes they liked, the three, whose real intentions lay elsewhere, clearly had no interest in such trivial matters.

Please enjoy your meal.

The waiter respectfully withdrew and closed the door.

Seeing this, Fang Shu and Hou Yun's throats tightened, their faces tense, and they unconsciously adopted the same attitude they had during their job interviews years ago. This made Jiang Bai laugh, and he went straight to the point: "His Majesty plans to establish a new department. I've read the proposal; it's roughly..."

She detailed the rules of the Foreign Intelligence Service, as well as some of her personal political visions.

"One last thing, I can recommend a department head."

"ah!"

The two students were surprised by the High Priest's generosity; it seemed to be a reward. Even though Jiang Bai had many disciples, he would definitely choose from these two, the most outstanding ones, while the others would need further training.

"I think I need to exercise more."

Fang Shu withdrew immediately, quite decisively, after all, the position she was aiming for was bigger and required more seniority.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated that one couldn't aspire to the top position after taking up a post in another department, a piece of advice circulated in the temple workplace: "Remember to stay close to the people who can determine your future." She chose to continue working under her mentor.

"I want to try my best."

Hou Yun had his own considerations. Coming from the Qingzhou royal family, which had served evil gods, he was of bad character and his fortune was only enough to secure a decent position.

Continuing to advance excessively will inevitably lead to disaster.

He accepted his classmate's courtesy, even though the other party didn't need it.

"it is good."

Jiang Bai nodded in satisfaction.
