You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

It should mean the way of Heaven.

They guessed correctly; Xia He had indeed tidied up the model and dyed her hair in her spare time, treating it as a kind of dress-up game.

With her mind becoming clearer, Feng Tianyin pointed to the new blueprints and said, "Plan according to the current standards. Give the detailed blueprints to you, after all, you need to have opportunities to practice. However, they should be given to experienced Grand Secretaries."

In other words.

It would be best if a Grand Secretary were in charge of the design work; upon hearing this, the expressions of those around him changed.

Dean Xue is the chief Grand Secretary, above the Grand Secretary, and is usually selected from various confidential projects, similar to a senior clerk.

As the head of the academy, I am also considered a senior clerk.

Reaching the top is incredibly difficult.

He was scolding a group of apprentices: "I told you to hurry up and get promoted to Grand Secretary. Only Grand Secretaries can get involved in projects now. You've wasted your opportunities and taken unnecessary detours."

"Have you cultivated relationships beforehand? Have you shown your face to key figures a few times? Hard work alone won't cut it."

Dean Xue, feeling disappointed and frustrated, shook his head.

Hey~

That being said, every significant leap in seniority is a benefit of the times. Opportunities are fleeting, and this time it has opened the path to becoming a chief engineer for many scholars. That's right, it certainly involves more than just one engineering research institute; it requires cooperation from all aspects.

This also allows me to promote some of my colleagues to become chief.

Upon realizing this, Dean Xue quickly ran over and said with a smile:

"High Priest, we will definitely complete the mission. Are you planning to inspect the results of this phase at the next Heavenly Dao Festival?"

"...Don't underestimate the difficulty. I don't plan to rush. It will become a platform for validating new technologies, ensuring that our iterations are effective, such as the application of ironware, new forging techniques, and new machinery..."

Feng Tianyin spoke fluently and incessantly.

He kept spouting new, completely incomprehensible terms, which were both technical and difficult to pronounce.

But no one dares to ignore the knowledge contained within.

The scholars in front of her were constantly sketching in their notebooks, and their serious expressions made Gegentana exclaim, "I've never been this excited when I assigned you tasks."

She realized that these guys truly believed in academia.

Believe in knowledge.

The academy reveres the High Priest not because of the title, but because of her knowledge. It is evident that this Feng Tianyin has been enlightened by the Heavenly Dao and possesses unparalleled wisdom. Even her words are full of teachings and knowledge.

"Hey, how do you guys know she really knows?"

Grentana's questions were met with undisguised contempt; even someone as powerful as the Great Prophet felt arrogance several times here.

A bunch of bookworms!

"Of course, no one understands the importance of studying better than Feng Tianyin."

“Great Prophet, you only think the High Priest is smart because you don’t do scientific research. You’ll only realize how profound her knowledge is when you start studying academics. But even if I tried to describe her wisdom, you wouldn’t understand.”

"In fact, human wisdom is far inferior to that of the High Priest; she slowed down and stopped to let us catch up."

"We are like mayflies before the heavens."

"I'll stop talking now, I've got an idea, I'll go test it out later."

"You just need to take care of the religion; you don't need to bother understanding the affairs of the academy."

As someone second only to the emperor, Gegentana was highly respected in every part of the Great Qian Dynasty. Yet, her religious pursuits were viewed with disdain by the people in the academy, who even harbored a hint of contempt in their eyes.

Check your educational background.

How can someone who graduated from a mere grassland outside the Great Wall compare to us, who grew up in the spring breeze and studied under the High Priest?

Although we also believe in the Way of Heaven, we will use wisdom to understand it, rather than to deceive people.

Your understanding is far too limited; you can't comprehend it.

Sensing the atmosphere, Gergentana pouted in anger.

Of course, my own level of understanding is not low enough to warrant revenge. Besides, the academy holds an independent position in the Great Qian political system and is deeply influenced by the High Priest, making it a relatively pure land outside the officialdom.

The more she saw it, the clearer it became:

The Great Qian Dynasty was essentially a massive idol worship scene, with different aspects surrounding the worship of Feng Tianyin.

Chapter 85 Reappearance of Subspace Contamination (10K)

During their visit to the academy, the scholars quickly finalized the new wonders project.

In fact, Feng Tianyin originally planned to provide more guidance.

Although she hoped to train her subordinates through projects, the church she built for Tiandao was different and needed to be given more attention.

However, Dean Xue and others persuaded them to leave.

"High Priest, let us old folks handle things. You should return to the temple. We can't let you do everything. Our academy will certainly do its part and present the best design to the great Heavenly Dao."

Now that Feng Tianyin has laid a solid foundation, they can't just do nothing; otherwise, they'd look like they're just wasting their time. Besides, they also have their pride.

The integrity of a scholar.

Don't let the high priest do everything for you; that's a disgrace.

Therefore, after she standardized a series of major design directions, she had nothing to do and let the academicians and chief scholars of the academy keep busy, which also allowed the lower-level academicians and apprentices to get training and gain knowledge.

Veterans are trained from newcomers.

Feng Tianyin naturally understood this level of management knowledge and strictly adhered to the "mentoring" approach.

In any case, the academy is small in scale, and the pure intellectual class in Daqian is very rare at present, so it can afford to play this kind of luxury game, and it is even more efficient.

Often, the "master-apprentice" system cannot continue because of its expansion.

Now is the perfect time.

Each version has its own corresponding production relationships.

So Feng Tianyin left the room for them to shine and left the academy with Gegentana. The latter walked briskly with her hands behind her back, frequently looking around with the expression of a curious child, but she encountered some notoriously arrogant scholars with sour faces.

Some hushed discussions could be faintly heard:

"She was that great prophet. She was so arrogant when she was promoted, her tail was wagging so high."

“They are just barbarians, and for at least five generations, those guys from the grasslands are still uncivilized people with no culture at all.”

"I used to be a shaman, but I basically did all sorts of rituals..."

The scholars whispered and pointed at each other.

"snort! "

Gedentana glared back fiercely, and the group that received the glares immediately looked away. She then calmed down slightly and quickly left. Neither side had a friendly expression; their interactions were purely professional.

She always felt that the other party was discriminating against her, that there was regional prejudice. What? Does being born in Xiayi make you superior?

The scholars, however, felt that the great prophet should not interfere in their field; this sacred place did not welcome someone who had once followed crooked paths, and they should stay away from him.

"A slave to mere academic qualifications, lol."

Gedentana glared at him, sticking out her tongue and making a face, making no attempt to hide her disgust.

She always expressed her emotions with enthusiasm, in a rich and direct manner, without the stereotypical majesty of a religious leader.

A sense of being alive.

I remember that this was how Heaven evaluated the Great Prophet, and it was an important reference standard. Feng Tianyin had already found the definition of the term, but she still didn't quite understand it, let alone apply it. Now, having learned a little from her colleague, she muttered to herself:

"Does that mean I don't feel alive?"

"What are you saying? It's all nonsense. These scholars are a bunch of oddballs."

Gedentana glanced at the academy, crossed her arms, and snorted coldly.

That being said, her level of understanding wasn't so low as to harbor resentment; it was merely a rebuttal to some of the arrogant individuals within the group. In the logic of the grassland people, being looked down upon meant that one could never show weakness.

"You're quite cute like this."

"It's hard to imagine that the word 'cute' comes out of your mouth."

Feng Tianyin didn't know why, but perhaps influenced by her colleagues to some extent, she became less gloomy.

The two boarded a carriage and returned to the temple area.

After the highest level of the Great Qian Dynasty made the decision, the will was quickly conveyed to all aspects. The church was built under the pretext that "the world is at peace today, so it is appropriate to carry out large-scale construction". However, the amount of corvée labor allocated was very restrained, after all, the project was planned to take hundreds of years and there was no rush.

The artisans around Xiayi naturally gave their full support, as the large project meant they would have another source of income:

Order.

Official projects are always generous, and events concerning the Heavenly Dao Sect are especially lavish.

And so construction on the church gradually began...

Feng Tianyin actually had another goal: to attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao through extensive publicity about the church. Therefore, she made a big show of it from the very beginning, starting with the project's initiation, planning, scheduling, and land acquisition.

Wouldn't it be annoying if she frequently held prayer and communication ceremonies?

But making an effort to perform well is another matter.

According to psychology, this behavior of insisting on showing off seems to be called... well, never mind, I won't do any self-analysis, that's called internal friction.

Whether the statement by Gegentana, "In the course of being an official, one should be someone who consumes others without consuming oneself," is correct or not, is debatable, but at least her mindset is good.

Therefore, Feng Tianyin continued her big actions with a clear conscience.

【hint】

[The Great Qian Dynasty has initiated a large-scale religious wonder construction project, which continuously consumes 5 units of production capacity.]

[The monument, tentatively named "Yingtian Fulu Cathedral," is about to open.]

Xia He raised an eyebrow at the new message notification. When did this style of name become associated with a church? Shouldn't it be called a Taoist temple, palace, or shrine? It's a fusion of Chinese and Western styles.

However, she knew that Feng Tianyin had preferences.
