Lin Yi's plan to use newspapers to spread his decrees is met with a stark warning from Xiao Zihan. She points out the potential for corrupt officials to alter the newspapers' contents, undermining Lin Yi's authority and turning his own tool against him. Lin Yi acknowledges the risks, realizing his rapid expansion has outpaced his control over local administration. As they discuss solutions, Xiao Zihan inquires about bringing more people or modern items from the real world, ultimately discovering Lin Yi can transport vast quantities of goods, including spaceships.

Originally, Xiao Zihan had already prepared herself for the fact that Lin Yi basically couldn’t bring anything over from the real world anymore.

But she absolutely hadn’t expected that Lin Yi would give her such a huge surprise.

You have to know, as long as it’s possible to bring 21st‑century items over here, then the development on this side can be pushed forward very quickly.

It’s no exaggeration to say that, in this current society, trying to independently develop certain things is clearly extremely difficult. But if they have the help of the 21st century, then getting this society to leap straight into the industrial age would practically be as easy as turning your hand.

Take machine tools for example: if you just explain them to people, many probably won’t really understand. But if you haul over one of the oldest, most outdated machine tools and use it as a basis for reverse engineering, then this whole process would probably speed up a lot.

And then there’s communications technology. Even if they can’t bring over robust mobile communications equipment, they can still use later‑era technology to first develop something like the telegraph.

Once the telegraph appears, they can use that line to start working on telephone sets. This way, they’ll be able to break through in communications technology.

And once they have communications tech, getting a grip on the entire country will be as easy as turning one’s hand.

You could say only by then will real control be possible.

It has to be said, Xiao Zihan really understands a lot of these issues, especially since this girl’s grasp of history is very strong. Precisely because of that, with her excellent grades in history, Xiao Zihan naturally knows how to develop an era.

"This is just perfect. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll draw up a list later. After you go back, just purchase according to that list, and then bring everything over.

When the time comes, we’ll publicly claim that we’re going to explore other outer space sectors. Once we get there, we’ll have to build an entirely new system from scratch. There won’t be any base stations over there, which means no signals of any kind. At that time we’ll only be able to use the most primitive way to transmit communications, namely telephone lines.

This way we can also dispel a lot of people’s doubts or suspicions."

As soon as Xiao Zihan finished speaking, Lin Yi’s eyes lit up at once.

You have to admit, this girl not only thought of bringing things from the later era over, she’d already figured out how to explain it to everyone so they wouldn’t start doubting anything.

This was actually more thorough than what he’d thought of.

It really goes to show that women are more meticulous.

Of course, the two of them were speaking softly, and what they were talking about left the Palace Maids around them completely baffled; they had no idea what the two were actually discussing.

This was also why the two didn’t bother to avoid other people.

That said, whenever it was something secret, something that really couldn’t be overheard, the two of them would intentionally lower their voices, or send the Palace Maids off to the side before they spoke.

After they finished the meal, Lin Yi took Xiao Zihan and Luo Ning back to the bedchamber.

At the same time, Lin Yi directly leaned over the draft edicts, grabbed a brush, and started writing on the imperial decree with swift strokes.

As for Xiao Zihan, once she got back she immediately bent over her desk and began sorting through all kinds of information.

Of course, what Xiao Zihan was using was not a brush and xuan paper. After all, for the later‑era Xiao Zihan, holding a brush still felt very awkward.

And the most crucial point is that the efficiency is extremely low. If she used a brush to write, her speed would have to be cut down to at least one‑third, even one‑fifth.

Right now, in Xiao Zihan’s hand was a ballpoint pen Lin Yi had provided her, along with a notebook.

Not only that, inside the bedchamber Lin Yi was even thinking of making a grand gesture and replacing all the furniture and facilities with modern ones.

But on this point, Xiao Zihan directly cut him off.

"Let’s keep things here in their original flavor. This is, after all, an ancient society. It’s better to properly enjoy the raw, authentic feel of it.

If we make the place look just like modern society, it’ll be neither fish nor fowl.

Just give me the things I need—that’s enough."

Since Xiao Zihan had made this request, Lin Yi naturally couldn’t object. So Lin Yi nodded, and with a grand sweep of his hand, the next moment all kinds of items appeared in the room, piled up on the floor in front of them.

Seeing the things that appeared, Xiao Zihan’s eyes instantly lit up.

In that pile were not only the ballpoint pen and notebook she was currently using.

There were also several computers, and more importantly, each computer was equipped with a large mobile power supply.

Seeing this, Xiao Zihan was instantly delighted. Although there’s no internet here, computers still make work a lot more efficient.

As for the sudden appearance of all this stuff, the Palace Maids here were clearly already used to it.

Seeing Xiao Zihan about to personally get to work, the young Palace Maids were so startled their delicate faces changed color, and they hurried over to help the Empress organize everything.

And as a modern person, when Xiao Zihan saw this scene, she couldn’t help feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Fortunately Lin Yi reminded her at just the right time, which forced her to adapt to it.

Plus, there are also nannies in the 21st century, so bit by bit Xiao Zihan managed to adjust quite well.
