You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

There are still some differences from those in mainland China in some details, but the differences are not significant; we should seek common ground while reserving differences.

Although their time in the city was short, the fervor of the converts was no less than that of those in the core cities. Their faces were filled with "loyalty," and they had indeed reaped the benefits. The reconstruction work came to an end, and after digesting the results, the city became even more prosperous.

It built city walls, making it larger, with neat houses, numerous wells, and crisscrossing roads, all in perfect order.

The transfer of advanced technology from the Great Qian Dynasty allowed Linchun to officially enter the end of the ancient era.

Otherwise, they would still be living in tents, eating raw meat and drinking blood.

The once burned-down Shamanic Temple of Longevity has been transformed into the Temple of the Heavenly Dao Sect. The practice of human sacrifice has been abolished and replaced by a series of more civilized and aesthetically pleasing rituals.

"It's so complicated..."

Xia He glanced at the priests' preparations and found them indeed elaborate, thanks to the great prophet.

It can be seen that it combines the styles of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, draws on the strengths of various schools of thought, and respects the traditions of the Great Qian Dynasty. It is clear that Gegentana has studied hard.

It's a Frankenstein's monster, but it's well-made.

It's no wonder that some scholars from the academies had reservations about it, because those who were truly well-versed in literature could see many traces of patchwork. However, the simplified approach to missionary work was suitable, and it even incorporated some of the traditional Chinese learning theories from the Great Qian culture.

In terms of high emotional intelligence, it could also be described as "drawing on the strengths of many schools" to ultimately build a meticulous doctrinal system.

That's not all.

Gegentana absorbed some of the modern knowledge and ideas that Feng Tianyin had given her.

Therefore, this doctrine has guiding significance that transcends its time.

Over the years, they have contributed religious rites and laws to the Great Qian Dynasty.

Although it's a bit cumbersome, it's true that the most important matters of the state are sacrifice and war, and establishing rules is necessary.

Sociology +3

Just as Feng Tianyin had originally designed for its strategic value, Linchun was surrounded by pastures where cattle and sheep graze amidst the swaying grass. The dairy products, wool, and dried meat they produced significantly improved the lives of people in Daqian, especially contributing greatly to the per capita meat consumption.

In addition, there are horse farms even larger than Kang Guo's, and they have also decided to dedicate Akhal-Teke horses as a gift.

It was given to the high priest under the guise of tribute.

Xia He didn't accept these treasures, but in the end, she still gave them to Feng Tianyin. And since Feng Tianyin never had any selfish motives, they mostly became treasures in the priest's inner sanctum and were then spent to complete the economic cycle.

It's no wonder that the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty was the most prosperous; these advantages were simply unmatched.

She continued to delve into the microscopic perspective.

People hawked their wares and led their horses through the streets and alleys, selling various kinds of dried and smoked meats, accompanied by a strong aroma of seasonings.

It's all meat.

The reason it seems luxurious is not because everyone is rich, but because the price at the place of origin is low. People in the Daqian area within the Great Wall could not enjoy such low-priced meat products.

They actually don't taste good; they're dry and hard. People who like chewy textures will probably be happy.

Relatively speaking, handicrafts are more expensive in Linchun.

Xia He kept switching between the first-person perspectives he was using, but he didn't find any large-scale workshops. Even the carpentry shops, blacksmith shops, quarries, logging camps, and other mines were only at the bare minimum to meet the city's needs.

pity.

Even after a round of technical support, it failed to completely change Linchun.

Don't underestimate the science and technology of ancient times. Without the accumulation of knowledge and experience, development would be relatively slow, especially now that we place more emphasis on the inheritance of crafts.

Those "secret techniques passed down by master craftsmen" cannot reach the northern desert.

Behind this was also the encouragement of the Daqian high-level officials, because Feng Tianyin's plan was that they should just focus on developing animal husbandry, warhorse resources, and assimilating the surrounding barbarian tribes, without having to devote too many resources to it.

Her will is directly reflected in the upper echelons of the main city.

Xia He, in her first-person perspective, entered the temple area and was astonished to find priests, led by Bayar, reviewing documents—

The remains of Expedition 1 have been received. According to the merchant's account of the discoverer, the deceased have been confirmed.

And a more detailed description.

The reason it was given to Bayar for review was because it involved subspace pollution. She was one of the people involved in the purification, so she couldn't be unaware of it and had to be vigilant.

After she signed it, it was sealed and temporarily classified as confidential.

Accidents occurring around the Arctic Circle are destined to be handled discreetly.

Ranch Health Survey

Upon closer inspection, it contained detailed records of the raising of various livestock.

Pay special attention to their infectious disease situation; if you encounter diseases such as mad cow disease, immediately isolate them and disinfect them with alcohol.

Clean and hygienic.

Don't forget that the current High Priestess, Feng Tianyin, was originally a shaman, and even died while treating plague patients. Therefore, under her supervision, the hygiene standards of the Great Qian Dynasty far surpass those of the times. After all, a crucial indicator of Heaven's will is population growth; wouldn't it be a sin to have too many people die in a major plague?

Therefore, everyone in Daqian paid great attention to hygiene.

This applies not only to humans but also to livestock.

During their first major expedition, the barbarians were forced to migrate south, partly because a large-scale epidemic caused livestock deaths, leaving them without food for the winter. We must learn from this lesson to prevent a recurrence.

Xia He's investigation revealed that it was indeed a regular plague, with no subspace involvement.

Family members don't have to take the blame for everything.

"It's done."

Bayar stretched as he closed the documents and instructed those around him, "Prepare the carriage. It's been five years; it's time to return to Xiayi to report on our duties."

She couldn't wait to go back and catch up with her teacher.

Although they corresponded frequently, they still needed to meet in person. He wanted to have a good cry with Gergentana about how difficult the work was here, having to preach to all sorts of illiterate barbarians—it was truly a headache…

"Priest, are you leaving already? I've prepared some frozen meat and local specialties for you."

Erbala walked over with a smile.

"You're the one who's always so idle; you're going on another publicly funded trip to Xiayi."

"My literacy level is really limited, so I might as well hand it over to the clerk. Anyway, it's quite relaxing that way, isn't it?"

"Alright."

After careful consideration, Bayar stopped trying to persuade him. This man had a special background; he had once led an army in rebellion against the High Priest. If Feng Tianyin hadn't been magnanimous and hadn't quelled some dissenting voices, someone would have already filed a complaint against him.

Retaining him as the city lord is both a courtesy and a form of control, but delegating power in this way will cause problems...

Both sides tacitly understood the risks of corruption, but Erbala, being intelligent, could not resist the tricks of civil servants. So he simply did the signing and stamping work, actually delegating all the authority to his subordinates.

He's the kind of person who's clear-headed.

"Speaking of which, it seems that a few people from the expedition team were infected when they passed through before. They all went crazy. Have they been brought under control?"

"We presided over the purification ceremony and things have improved; it doesn't affect our work."

"It's truly a blessing from heaven."

"Actually, those so-called ceremonies in the past were completely useless; they were just for psychological comfort. But this time, the effect was amazing. I presided over it, and the scene was spectacular..."

Bayar spoke with great enthusiasm and pride.

Xia He was also glad that the pollution was not discovered in Linchun, a route that the expedition team would inevitably take, at the beginning.

It's been purified.

She hadn't expected the ritual to be so effective. According to the Great Prophet's chief disciple, it took a series of rituals to resolve the issue. The pollution must have been relatively mild to have been successfully removed. Secondary pollution is manageable; there's no need to worry too much.

Humans are capable of combating pollution, and with the progress of the times, more methods have been developed.

It should be related to version iteration.

Decades ago, even if the high priest had personally presided over the ceremony, it wouldn't have been possible to successfully save the mad polluter.

Now things are different; the spiritual energy floating in the air is becoming more active. On the other hand, as the Heavenly Dao Sect has grown stronger, the priests of the faith have gained a touch of extraordinary power, which is why they are able to perform purification.

Xia He felt it was necessary to go to the headquarters to take a look, as the time for their arrival was approaching.

She is also looking forward to this Heavenly Dao Festival.

Because the Great Qian Dynasty was no longer the same as before, it was a real country, with a qualitative leap in scale, productivity and cultural level compared to ten years ago.

..........

Xiayi.

Yingtian Fulu Cathedral, located behind the Temple of Blessing, served as the priests' office and residence after the completion of the first phase of construction.

At this point, the inner and outer halls of the political center of the Great Qian Dynasty were officially separated from each other at the architectural level.

It symbolizes the majesty that reaches directly to the ears of Heaven.

A huge "Statue of the Manifestation of the Heavenly Dao" stands in the square at the entrance. It is a scaled-up version of the figurine bestowed by the Heavenly Dao back then. The statue itself is 20 meters high, and the base is 5 meters high. It stands on the central axis and forms a visual focal point.

There seems to be no record of the figurine I gave to Feng Tianyin back then being publicly displayed; it's likely that I kept it for myself.

Absolutely.

Xia He could vaguely sense a spiritual connection with the original statue. It was carried by the High Priest, and no one dared to ask to see it. Legally, it made sense; it was a reward from Heaven to Feng Tianyin, so how could anyone else ask for it?

The little robot showed a rare display of "selfishness".

That being said, they still supported the derivative products of the figurine, such as this proportionally enlarged statue as a storefront.

Behind the statue is, of course, the main body of the cathedral.

Xia He immediately entered from the perspective of a pilgrim, and felt even more that it was magnificent and grand.

First are two towering porticoes that reach into the sky, probably over 50 meters tall, but the scaffolding is even higher, clearly indicating that renovations are underway to break the height record.

Secondly, there's the main entrance.

The surface is engraved with countless reliefs and textures, making the white marble appear even more sacred.

The interior is very spacious, with soaring lines and domes drawing our gaze towards the sky. The domed ceilings are carved with religious paintings, magnificent and colorful, the work of the most exquisite masters. We can see them still painting on high benches, completely absorbed in their work.

Designer Feng Tianyin strictly followed Xia He's preferences, wanting it to be large and magnificent, giving people a sense of fantasy adventure game.

Spires, pillars, and flying buttresses intertwine to create a sense of reverence for heaven.

It is complex and intricate, yet bright and spacious inside.
