You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

Erbala readily agreed and handed it over, even if in a sense it symbolized handing over routine administrative duties.

To be honest, he was tired too, so it was fine if the other party replaced him. However, Feng Tianyin didn't intend to let talent go to waste. Instead, she gestured for Gegentana to talk to her old friend, and the former greeted him with a smile.

"So? Are you confident in continuing to manage Linchun?"

"A lot of things are quite tiring without you around, but I've adapted and I should be fine."

“With Bayar’s help.”

She patted her young apprentice, who was still immersed in surprise, and the latter nodded vigorously: "Your Majesty, I never thought we would be working together."

This once unapproachable hero is now a colleague; life is truly unpredictable.

Please give me your guidance in the future.

Erbala's smile contained both surprise and a hint of fatigue.

No one would refuse a lucrative position, especially one that also allows them to safeguard the interests of their homeland on the grasslands—a win-win situation. However, it would certainly involve a lot of hard work, requiring them to deal with the people of Xiayi.

"Unfortunately, I have too many differences with those clerks. Can I do a good job?"

"Don't worry, Feng Tianyin has taught those guys well. They're well-mannered and won't make things too difficult for you. But you really should pay more attention to learning the culture of the Great Qian Dynasty. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I'm second only to the High Priest."

Gedentana's triumphant declaration.

"...I only wanted to protect the tribe, but I became the Great Khan half-heartedly. I somehow ended up here without even realizing it."

"I just feel responsible for ensuring that everyone can avoid snow disasters and have enough to eat and wear. I think that can be achieved."

He looked at the group of people working around Feng Tianyin and couldn't help but sigh.

I feel relieved.

The feeling of relief made Erbala feel several years younger, so he chatted with Gegentana about the grasslands over the years and compared his memories with the past, laughing from time to time...

On the other hand, the barbarian shamans and the Great Qian priests also communicated smoothly. Both sides were considered to be in charge of culture and politics, so the communication was efficient.

The two sides quickly exchanged a series of documents.

The temple's leadership wanted to quickly confirm data on cattle, sheep, warhorses, and the population.

Although the writing materials on the grasslands were filled with all sorts of primitive items such as animal hides, animal bones, and clay paintings, at least there were records, which finally helped to figure out the general information about the supplies.

In reality, Feng Tianyin was only glanced at.

Then, by combining the information provided by the permissions with a permission comparison, a rough set of data can be obtained...

Very comprehensive.

While statistical data may contain errors and may even change in real time, the categories and varieties are comprehensive enough to serve as a reference.

Only decisions supported by these can be considered formal management.

Otherwise, levying taxes based on erroneously overestimated population and arable land data could easily incite rebellion. Therefore, Feng Tianyin always takes data seriously; she understands it first, and then manages it.

She needs to cooperate with Xiahe's main urban planning.

"Agricultural officials were transferred from headquarters to guide the reclamation, and seeds and fertilizers were brought along. First, the entire process was carried out according to inland standards, and then the growth was recorded."

Yes, sir.

"The surrounding lakes are natural fishing grounds, and we've dispatched the corresponding professionals; we need to be quick."

"I'll make arrangements immediately and have them set off as soon as possible."

Feng Tianyin didn't just give verbal instructions; she immediately sketched out several names and also formulated a rough plan. Since she wasn't comfortable with this and didn't want to overwork her subordinates, she decided to prepare the parts that could be "pre-made" first.

The high priest's work arrangements are convenient, but when it comes to actually facing problems, he must rely on real skills to solve them, and he can always find the right people to work with.

She wants to fully integrate Linchun into the Daqian Dynasty.

Unlike the Western Regions valleys, which had a certain level of civilization, the northern deserts were very backward. Therefore, it was necessary to station a group of officials there first, and then have Bayar coordinate and get things running smoothly, so that the machinery could get started.

It takes effort.

If we say that the art style of the Great Qian Dynasty is the "peak perfection of the ancient era," or "half-classical," then it already has mature cities, efficient roads, and a well-organized structure...

So Linchun was "a nomadic state that had just emerged from cave dwelling" and was more than a few hundred years away.

Feng Tianyin decided to personally sweep through the area before returning.

Having noticed this, Gergentana urged her apprentice: "Why don't you go and see how the High Priest does it, and remember to take notes?"

“I check it every day.”

The strict orders immediately made Bayar's face turn bitter; indeed, he had a life of glory in public but suffered in private.

Xiayi.

The temple received a constant stream of messages from the grasslands, with documents arriving like snowflakes.

They brought in all sorts of documents and transfer orders as if they were free.

Even with the continuous iteration of papermaking techniques in Fengtianyin, paper is not so easy to obtain. The key lies in the limitation of productivity, which makes it impossible to have too many people constantly serving a group of off-duty clerks.

After all, paper is a luxury nowadays, and we don't usually need it.

Once it's used, it's a big deal.

The person in charge of collecting and coordinating the documents was naturally Yu Xue, the permanent senior clerk. On the desk, there were rows of concise documents.

She glanced at it and said, "Prepare an agricultural and pastoral team to go north and guide the land reclamation in Linchun."

Yes, sir.

At the same time, she continued to hand over and stamp the letters of appointment.

Despite the exhaustion, the good news was that a large number of positions had become vacant in Linchun. Feng Tianyin authorized the recommendation and promotion of senior clerks under her command, and a significant portion of these vacant positions ended up in Yu Xue's hands.

This is one of the reasons why they are seen as high-ranking officials of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Supreme power of appointment and removal.

As for the power to appoint and dismiss the high priest? That's a separate matter. In short, it's already quite remarkable that he can decide on the allocation of vacant positions at such a time.

However, decisions cannot be made entirely unilaterally.

She was taking her colleagues' opinions into consideration, so she waited until the other colleagues arrived quickly.

"Gentlemen, we not only need to decide on the recommendations to fill all the positions in Linchun, but also deal with the High Priest's orders. This time she has mobilized a lot of resources to build this pearl of the grasslands, so we must lay a solid foundation, which is also to respond to the expectations of Heaven."

Yu Xue's opening remarks set the tone, and everyone immediately became solemn.

As we all know, incorporating such a large city into the Daqian territory will bring about a large amount of construction demand, which needs to be addressed in advance.

"Leave it to me."

Sun Shan, representing the engineering department, readily accepted the task with anticipation.

Daqian is currently being built entirely by Feng Tianyin according to corporate standards. If it undertakes a large number of projects, it will increase its performance and bring in a lot of rewards. Why not?

His departments are all lucrative positions.

Of course, it was really tiring; you had to maintain strict and high standards.

This system is an incentive mechanism developed by Fengtianyin in a context where economic vitality is insufficient to incubate enterprises, and even ancient guilds could not achieve this. It has been extremely effective, and everyone is eager to participate in large-scale projects.

"I'll leave the road construction to you. I'll approve the funding to the maximum extent within my authority, don't worry," Yu Xue agreed.

The Great Qian Dynasty has always valued transportation, and the more vast and abundant the land, the more it should emphasize internal communication.

To get rich, build roads first.

Other senior clerks also discussed the matter amongst themselves. For example, the judicial department, under the jurisdiction of Li Zhengxuan, needed to be integrated into the grasslands as soon as possible. According to intelligence, the security situation there was quite chaotic, with many uneducated individuals who needed to be brought under control.

In addition, there are a series of other matters such as long-term military deployment, household registration compilation, caravan exchanges, and religious activities...

In comparison, the appointment and removal of officials are postponed.

They knew that assimilating all the tribes of the northern desert would not be easy, and would be a bottomless pit of investment for a considerable period of time. However, the economic benefits would also be high, as the area would become a granary.

Yu Xue unfolded a map on the table, revealing intricate contour lines and the distribution of farmland.

Written by Feng Tianyin.

The high priest, unable to tolerate the barbarians' backward cartographic techniques, simply took matters into his own hands and compiled the intelligence to draw a map, marking the available resource points.

It is sufficient to support the layout behind it and can be used as a reference.

"As the high priest suggests, let's make plans based on the reclamation work first."

“Yes, it would be a waste not to grow crops in such good volcanic soil. I happen to have an official here who is good at this, so I will send him over to help those people from outside the pass to quickly start cultivating the land.”

"The journey is too long, would they be willing to be transferred?"

"As long as the pay is good, nothing is impossible. Going to Linchun will definitely add a significant achievement to your resume."

"Very well, only those who overcome difficulties and adapt to problems are worthy of entering the temple."

"This is a necessary experience."

The senior clerks finalized the decision in just a few words, because Feng Tianyin's ability to recognize and utilize talent and her strict selection process meant that everyone who could enter the temple was an outstanding individual, one in a million.

Who didn't pass the imperial examination to get promoted? And then go through a period of experience in ordinary positions before gradually being promoted.

We were all considered students of the high priest.

She would occasionally teach classes at the college to guide students, and she was also fully responsible for setting exam questions.

Therefore, the examination papers of the Great Qian Dynasty were often comprehensive, rational, and logical, possessing a level of examination ability that was ahead of its time.

too difficult.

This also means selecting the most talented individuals. Once they pass the exams, they will be given practical training. They will be immersed in, cultivated, and improved within the clerk system before they can finally hold power in the temple.

I had such difficulty getting up here, how could I expect it to be easy for you?

Moreover, if a promoted subordinate commits a crime, they will inevitably be held accountable, and in serious cases, their career could be ruined. Therefore, everyone is extremely cautious about the candidates to be appointed and dares not make any hasty conclusions.

It took a lot of discussion among the group to finalize the agreement.

The temple's upper echelons were busily discussing the matter, and the middle-level managers naturally heard the news and immediately began to discuss it amongst themselves:

Have you heard?

"A lot of positions have become available in Linchun, and everyone is competing for them. It's going to be quite lively now."

"I'll just lie down and do my job as a clerk."
