From then on, Ma Lin contacted the people of the Sand Dog Church daily to monitor the progress of various projects.
In fact, the Sand Dog Church proved astonishingly efficient in infrastructure construction and public services, to a degree Ma Lin found unbelievable.
While the Sand Dog Temple emphasized morality and played a major role in improving societal harmony, it lacked knowledge of technological innovation and was unable to drive economic development. They were amazed by Ma Lin's initiatives but couldn't grasp their essence enough to contribute effectively.
Knowing their own strengths, they recently tried organizing road construction projects a few times, found the response promising, and began seeking larger road-building assignments.
They excelled at mobilizing their followers to participate in the work.
