You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

"You are exactly what the High Priest said. You lack ambition and will eventually turn into lazy governance, which will ultimately hinder everyone's efficiency. Don't talk nonsense about being lazy."

"How can I take care of my family when I'm transferred so far away?"

"In the course of being an official, who doesn't travel around? Even if it's arduous, I'm sure the benefits are worthwhile."

"Indeed, I have received notification of the subsidy; the cadres sent to distant locations will receive additional rewards."

"show me."

Mid-level clerks were actually the most affected and the most concerned, and they were very excited about the series of welfare measures. The notice was stamped with the imperial seal, took effect immediately, and could provide subsidies.

When the high priest is absent, only the officials of the inner priesthood and the outer chieftainhood can use the seal to act on his behalf after consultation.

It's easy to see that the matter was serious, and it needed to be handled quickly and simply.

Currently, Feng Tianyin, who is far away on the grasslands, has granted the maximum authorization, for only one reason:

Send someone here quickly.

Even someone as patient as him was probably fed up with by the former barbarian tribes and hoped for more capable helpers. In short, a grand reconstruction project must begin in the Great Qian continent and be completed before the next Heavenly Dao Festival in order to be presented as a gift.

The key is to restore Linchun. As long as the ruling role of the main city is further strengthened, it can be considered as control over the tribes in the northern desert.

According to the temple's higher-ups, sending scribes was only the first step.

The key has always been the support of the entire population; the second step is what truly concerns the livelihood of everyone in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Place an order.

One word that is frequently mentioned in the court discussions of the permanent senior clerks is:

enterprise.

Feng Tianyin has been encouraging all departments of the temple to focus on production, saying that they should "operate like a business." Although the specific meaning is unclear, the measure is undoubtedly that the government is issuing orders to the people.

For example, the reconstruction of Linchun would require a series of production projects in Xiayi, so they began to put out public tenders.

Naturally, the news spread to various carpentry and blacksmith shops.

The number of these workshops has skyrocketed in Xiayi over the years.

Because their basic needs for food and clothing have been met.

A thorough reading of history books, according to the "mythical history" bestowed by Heaven, the current era under the High Priest is undoubtedly a golden age. Food and clothing are not a problem, every family has surplus grain, and on this basis, handicrafts have developed significantly, constantly innovating and making technological advancements.

Even the people of Daqian themselves were puzzled as to why their grain production was so high. The weather had always been favorable, as if they were blessed with good fortune.

Not to mention drought, we haven't encountered much locust plague, pests and diseases, or soil erosion.

It is the way of Heaven!

The more you grow crops, the more you realize that the power of nature is everywhere, because many yields are "theoretical values." It would be absurd to achieve such a high yield per acre, and you can vaguely sense the protection of nature.

They guessed correctly; Xia He was indeed behind it all.

As a basic skill for players, farming and managing resources is easy to master.

The national policies and main city projects she was stationed in were all related to agriculture to some extent. Before the formal emergence of chemical fertilizers and breeding technologies before the Industrial Revolution, it was always a good idea to increase grain production when in doubt, and grain surplus would increase the population.

Kill two birds with one stone.

It's not just the cumulative benefit of summer rice, but also the constant monitoring of crop growth, soil fertility, and other indicators by Feng Tianyin.

The realm that Heavenly Dao and the High Priest cultivate together!

The emphasis on agriculture ensured that the people of Daqian had enough to eat, which laid the foundation for such a large-scale project. A single tender document brought life to Xiayi.

Not only the capital, but other branch cities are also within the scope of the temple's order distribution.

The engineering department was responsible for the review, and the clerks, led by Sun Shan, were extremely busy, constantly checking different documents, holding frequent meetings, and taking into account the different conditions in Linchun:

“Those barbarians are too technically challenged. We should consider helping them rebuild, starting with the blacksmith shop.”

"more than."

"They're going to skip the Bronze Age and come with us to the Iron Age."

"Just treat those guys like idiots."

The clerks took this to heart. Back then, the Great Qian Dynasty had plundered a group of craftsmen from the grasslands, and their skill level was just so-so. If even the best were like this, one could imagine how poor the overall technical level must be, and how many difficulties they would face.

Therefore, their bidding process was very detailed, which naturally gave the Daqian handicraft industry room for development and ushered in another period of prosperity.

Also.

After the opening of trade routes, trade between the grasslands and the interior became much easier.

With the coordinated efforts of Feng Tianyin and Xia Yi's subordinates, a steady stream of caravans connected the two regions, enabling the rapid transfer of various goods. The complementary advantages of the two regions created a scale effect.

The public immediately noticed a significant change:

Meat prices have dropped.

Because of the developed livestock resources in the north, there are a large number of livestock, and the technology for storing and smoking meat is indeed more advanced than that in the inland areas. These foods are distributed throughout the country via roads inside and outside the Great Wall, giving most people an additional source of meat.

Feng Tianyin attaches great importance to anything that improves people's livelihoods, so this is the first batch of goods to be traded on a large scale.

In her mind, meat consumption is also a productivity indicator; you need to eat more to have energy.

Food is the most important thing for people.

Through the access information, she can understand the general dietary level, which shows that most of the food is "sufficient" but far from "healthy".

Grassland animal husbandry will now become a powerful supplement.

In this way, while aid was continuously being sent from the mainland to aid construction, a large amount of livestock resources were also sent from outside the Great Wall to the south.

Win-win.

Thanks to the reconstruction project, the residents of Linchun finally have houses to shelter them from the wind and rain after five years. Otherwise, if they had continued with their primitive technology, it would probably have taken a hundred years to build.

The level of architectural technology in this era should not be underestimated.

First, the barbarians couldn't master the mortise and tenon structure. Even setting aside this advanced technology, they also lacked knowledge of clay and glutinous rice mud. Continuing to fumble around with such clumsy methods might actually result in building dangerous structures, which would be a greater loss than gain.

In just a few months, the houses in Linchun have changed their appearance every day.

Because Feng Tianyin is also performing operations.

She unlocked the [Leader's Main City Project], which was not available before. It seems that because it was close to the classical era, the functional modules grew out of their own.

The high priest increasingly understood why the Way of Heaven valued the changing of the times.

According to the game mechanics of Civilization Evolution, a large number of playable items will be added in each era, especially as they gradually appear towards the end of the era, which is a sign that the game is about to begin.

Therefore, Feng Tianyin did not hesitate to use the new function:

[Repair City: Related building efficiency +5%]

The numbers may seem insignificant, but in reality, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, transforming the former ruins into something new every day.

According to Feng Tianyin's understanding, the game's benefits accumulate with each era, snowballing into a process of becoming "increasingly powerful." Of course, other civilizations also have their own unique characteristics.

It's too early to judge whether Daqian is strong or not, as he hasn't actually played a match with someone of the same rank yet.

Be prepared for danger even in times of peace.

She wanted to make the vast northern lands a base for warhorse resources to ensure the Great Qian's dominance in the cavalry era.

The rest of the so-called plans to develop Linchun into a granary, mining, animal husbandry, and lake fishing industry are all just to protect this point and are considered peripheral industries.

Their existence is secondary; "supporting horse breeders" is just that.

The High Priest's plans are not shared with others. The seemingly bustling construction of the new city is actually already planned in his mind. In the future, this place, together with the Western Regions Horse Breeding Farm, will build the military hegemony of the Great Qian Dynasty. This requires a key type of troop: heavy cavalry.

There's a saying that ocean-going navies are "navies that last for a century," so heavy cavalry is a "luxury item" in the army, a "luxury item that lasts for a century."

Heavy cavalry legions that appear to be built in a single dynasty are often the result of a century of accumulated experience.

Feng Tianyin always lays the groundwork in advance.

In the office, a girl with long black and white hair put away the files, looked up and glanced around. She saw that the surrounding clerks were also focused on her, because the high priest had just signed the last of the accumulated decrees.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Our work in Linchun has come to an end."

"Yay!"

Strictly speaking, the accompanying subordinates were all on business trips, and they were homesick, so this time they were away from the mainland for a longer period of time than during the Great Expedition.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Feng Tianyin affirmed their hopes and decisively declared:

"We're leaving for Xiayi tomorrow."

PS

I decided to write the entire second expedition to the grasslands in one go, a super-long chapter of tens of thousands of words.

I'm begging for blades of light and votes, and a tip would be even better!

Chapter 84 Constructing Wonders Under Clever Pretexts (10K)

When Feng Tianyin set off, she sent a message to the capital by carrier pigeon.

The accompanying scribes breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that the High Priest had decided to return to Xiayi.

My business trip is over.

They can finally go home. They probably earned a lot of attendance bonuses and allowances on this trip, which will allow them to have a good New Year. Of course, it's worth all the hard work.

Dealing with this group of people who are often illiterate is too difficult.

Although the shamanic class left behind by Gegentana in the northern tribes had some level of education, their numbers were too small to handle the work effectively. They still inevitably had to deal with rough and burly men, resulting in the proverb "the scholar encounters the soldier, and reason is useless"...

The troubles gradually subsided.

After a long period of effort from top to bottom, a basic administrative system was barely established to ensure its operation.

The rest will depend on long-term construction, and it's time for them to withdraw.

The Khans of the various tribes in the northern desert naturally gave them a grand send-off. A group of tribal leaders, headed by Erbala, watched the grand procession depart, both as a respectful farewell and to personally confirm its departure.

They've settled down.

As long as Feng Tianyin is around, they will worry about her every day, after all, she has a tradition of taking action against local powerful families and often forcing them to settle in Xiayi.

It's a bit cold on the grassland, but it's been my family's home for generations, and I don't want to leave.
