You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

The excess can be used to brew wine.

However, too many cash crops are not allowed to be planted, because it will spontaneously create a market orientation that "crowds out food crops." Therefore, only basic strategic needs need to be guaranteed. If you want to plant more, go overseas to explore.

Anyone who dares to lay their hands on the local grain reserve is committing suicide.

Feng Tianyin's strict prohibition itself was a driving force. Merchants who hoped to make a fortune from cash crops would desperately cross the sea and fight tooth and nail to continue investing, since there was money to be made anyway.

They sold it not only to the Daqian Dynasty.

More importantly, they can be sold to the powerful and wealthy in the Western Continent.

In fact, much of the so-called tea culture in China has lost its mystique, increasingly giving way to tea made from more convenient and quick beverages.

But the powerful and wealthy on the other end are embracing it.

Gegentana's publicity also played a role, and under her packaging, "Life in Daqian is modern life," "What are the nobles of Daqian like," "Tea culture has a long history," and other things related to clothing, utensils, and paintings were also exported as popular culture.

Good trick!

Even Feng Tianyin admired her colleague's talent in this area; he was so knowledgeable.

The language and writing of the Great Qian Dynasty were also exported, but the Great Prophet himself was not very satisfied.

The only obstacle was their missionary work.

The Heavenly Dao Sect, which emphasizes pragmatism in territories where existing sects have deep roots, is indeed lacking; its missionary efficiency is too slow, which is the core indicator she values.

Feng Tianyin was quite open-minded, because at worst she could go on armed missionary work.

She already had several letters from Western Continents at that time.

Among them were letters from people with titles such as kings, city lords, and nobles, whose admiration flowed between the lines, such as "the great emperor of the Central Continent," "the agent of the Heavenly Way," and "the pope of the Heavenly Way Sect."

You can never praise someone too much.

Little did they know that they were facing a high priest with a human-machine head, who remained completely unfazed.

Your praise is no match for a single word from Heaven. In comparison, she was actually more concerned with the mentions of trade cooperation, joint development, and sending envoys, and responded to each point with courtesy.

It's nothing more than a letter with flamboyant language, which can be generated instantly.

Feng Tianyin quickly wrote several replies.

Her current focus is not on the Western Continent, because that region is still frequently plagued by war and is far less stable than the Intercontinental Sea.

The overseas exploration is not over yet.

There are still continents in the Southern Hemisphere that have not yet been explored, so there will not be any serious conflicts of interest with the other party for the time being.

"Please urge the colony to build the new town as soon as possible, since the festival is approaching."

Yes, sir.

While the high priest was expressing his concern, things were also bustling in the colonies on the other side of the ocean. Ships were entering the port one after another, and there were even special docks for repairs.

They can receive proper supplies, repairs, and even modifications.

The Great Qian Dynasty was so productive and wealthy that it moved its entire port infrastructure construction site thousands of miles away.

Xinxiang Harbor is thriving.

As soon as a ship docked, the crew members swayed slightly as they disembarked, cheering, "We've finally arrived! I want a drink, I want to rest!"

"We've finally arrived."

"I'm going to have a good time here, otherwise I'd be wasting the journey."

The high pay of intercontinental routes meant that these sailors had an even greater desire to spend money once they reached their destination. With money and leisure time, they were willing to spend lavishly, which stimulated the rapid expansion of the local service industry.

Numerous taverns and inns sprang up around the port.

Moreover, this area not only has reception facilities, but also important industrial sites such as port service facilities.

It is destined to become an industrial hub in the future.

Jiang Chaosheng looked down from the city lord's mansion, which was brightly lit even at night, a sign of prosperity and peace.

"My lord, there's news from the temple. His Majesty has approved the construction of the city."

The reporter was overjoyed. This meant he was no longer an unofficial post as an overseas clerk, and the signing of a document signified that the entire Xinxiang area had officially been integrated into the temple's administrative system.

Even chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

They had become part of that behemoth, and naturally, they cheered with unbridled joy.

Jiang Chaosheng laughed heartily and replied, "Let's celebrate too."

【hint】

Leader Feng Tianyin approved the establishment of the city "Xinxiang," which is also the first city of the Great Qian Empire in the New World.

History will remember this momentous achievement.

Xia He was just about to start the pre-check when she saw the message. She remembered that the little bot had promised to give her a new city as a gift. According to the current trend, it was already the late Age of Exploration, and the era was about to change. It just so happened to be the right time.

The name Xinxiang itself is a tribute.

Her gaze immediately turned to the other side of the ocean, where people were reveling in the night.

It was still daytime in Xiayi, but it was nighttime on the other side of the world when they received the news, but that didn't stop them from celebrating.

Even travelers from afar cheered for it.

The high priest's recognition added a layer of credibility, making it seem more reliable. It was as if people had truly found a homeland thousands of miles away, slightly alleviating their longing.

The church also held a prayer service at the appropriate time.

The local priests immediately organized a prayer service to celebrate this moment together with everyone.

Bang, bang!

Fireworks soared into the sky, bursting into vibrant colors. Though simple, it truly marked the moment the city was founded, a moment that will be remembered for generations to come.

Xia He witnessed this moment from high above, and since she was already there, she decided to add some special effects.

Suddenly, golden auspicious clouds swept by, and the sky became as bright as day.

One moment the clouds were fluffy white under the night sky, the next they were bathed in gold, and even a single wisp of them commanded respect. No one could mistake it for a glance from the heavens.

He also acknowledged the new city!

The cheers of the people reached the heavens, growing ever louder, and they remained excited even as the golden auspicious clouds passed by.

It is an extraordinary privilege to witness the glimpse of the heavens upon this new city; this is an extremely high-level certification.

"It must be His Majesty praying to Heaven for our blessings."

The priest explained in a timely manner.

Although Feng Tianyin and Xia He wouldn't usually discuss such trivial matters, this explanation wasn't bad. At least it set up a precedent: the high priest could remotely pray and bless a city to be recognized by the Heavenly Dao.

Otherwise, it would be too much trouble for her to make a special trip thousands of miles away.

However, the resident priests felt that the future was not difficult.

His Majesty's power is unfathomable. It is not impossible for him to descend from the other side of the material world through the warp. It is just a psionic level in Terra that is not high enough to withstand that level of power.

"Celebrate!"

She put aside her thoughts and continued to preside over the blessing ceremony, taking the opportunity to create a joyous atmosphere throughout Xinxiang.

Xia He also saw the myriad lights from the priest's perspective; with its official inclusion in the new city's ranks, the data became clear at a glance:

【Population: 12】

Although it's a bit small, it's currently enough to support the facilities of ocean-going vessels.

Things are different now. In the past, there were very few cities in Daqian with a population of over 100,000. Now, however, a city can be rewarded in a place thousands of miles away from the core area. This can truly be called a great feat.

However, the population composition is not entirely composed of people from the Daqian region.

A significant portion of them were immigrants from other city-states and barbarian camps, who came under employment or missionary work and quickly integrated into a more advanced way of life. This once again proved the assimilation capabilities of the Great Qian Dynasty, which spread its influence across the New World without bloodshed.

They played a major role in the labor force.

After all, the Daqian people who arrived here were mostly sailors. It would be too costly to send a large number of workers from afar, so it would be better to recruit workers locally.

Thus, they became part of Xinxiang through an employment relationship.

This group of people were the ones who were truly shocked.

"It's the will of Heaven! Do you see it? Those auspicious clouds are exactly the same as what the people of Daqian said, it's true."

"Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"I didn't expect it either. Who would believe such an exaggerated legend?"

"Don't disbelieve me, the shamans in the tribe said they could feel the strong subspace fluctuations of the Great Qian, and those people's perception was even stronger."

"That's what the city-state shamans here say too."

“Now I must convert to Buddhism.”

The native inhabitants of the New World had never seen Xia He's spectacle before. Although it was just a few casually done special effects in her eyes, it was actually incredibly impactful and was seen as the arrival of a great being.

Even areas far from Xinxiang can witness breathtaking scenes, as the sky's reflections can travel very far.

People stared in disbelief at the golden glow in the distance, then saw fireworks rise into the sky.

The people of Daqian are celebrating.

That mysterious and profound power must have come specifically to see the people of Xinxiang. No wonder they were not afraid at all, but welcomed it wholeheartedly. It's truly enviable that they received such a blessing.

The settlements, cities, and camps along the west coast are evident to all.

Many of them knelt down on the spot, praising Xia He and repeatedly saying, "Praise Heaven!" and "Please save us!"

Right.

They are definitely not having an easy time right now.

A quick glance at the size of the various settlements made it clear that the New World was naturally less developed. The city-states, barbarian camps, and small villages were created through gameplay mechanics; scientifically speaking, they were settlements of ancient inhabitants.

But the lack of civilization is terrible.

Despite developing in relative isolation for so many years, the New World has failed to develop into a proper civilization.

While the tribes bear some responsibility, they cannot be entirely blamed. In reality, the lack of mountains, forests, minerals, and animal power made it difficult for them to smoothly carry out the agricultural revolution, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age.
