Chapter 516: Chapter 464: Entering the Temple for Rituals, The Emperor Probes
After all, the Incense Fire God Refining Skill that leverages the Power of Incense Fire for cultivation is beneficial for all officials of the Great Ming imperial court. Almost all officials have practiced this skill.
However, no matter how large the temple for worship is, the number of accompanying worshipers it can accommodate is limited. It’s impossible for everyone to participate.
The position of accompanying the worship is of great importance. It concerns every official’s cultivation and the promotion of their Divine Position. Even Yan Weizhong would not dare to make a decision lightly without the emperor’s decree.
After all, if there’s the emperor’s decree, he wouldn’t mind being scapegoated. He wouldn’t fear backlash or resentment from others because the emperor would shield him.
But if he made a decision hastily, he would not only provoke jealousy from his colleagues but also lose the emperor’s protection.
Zhu Houji took the memorial scrolls and reviewed the plans thereon. Yan Weizhong sat down on a chair, solemnly waiting for the emperor’s decision.
This plan seems straightforward, requiring only to pick suitable locations to erect temples within the current territories of Great Ming.
However, the matter is not so simple. Besides the vast territories of Great Ming, just the sheer number of temples required by each state-river network is a astronomical number. Once the number of temples is settled, people need to be dispatched to inspect local geographic conditions and select spots before confirming their suitability.
This is a massive project. In the past, even setting aside the difficulty of the task, just the depletion of labor resources and the grandeur of the project would have encountered opposition from countless officials.
