Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1235 - 1129: The Outer City

Corresponding to those factory-produced items is the massive income.

As the enormous production output increases, the treasury’s silver coins are daily on the rise.

It can be said that the income of one day can almost equal the nation’s tax revenue for half a year in the past.

With these funds, Lin Yi’s next plan can be implemented smoothly.

Of course, now the only thing Lin Yi needs to do is to make the people wealthy, ensuring everyone leads a prosperous life, as for him, war machines are not necessary.

He only needs sufficient economic resources and doesn’t need to consider defense systems. If any enemy country dares to invade, he alone is worth a thousand troops.

Because of this, what he aims to achieve is massive infrastructure development, making the entire Dayou nation as solid as a fortress, filled with a sense of happiness.

After acquiring money, the first thing Lin Yi did was build roads, starting with extensive road construction in the Capital City.

Moreover, with the continuous influx of merchants and the increasing population in the Capital City, Lin Yi also began preparing to expand the city’s scale.

After all, when the Capital City was initially built, the total population was not expected to exceed 100,000 people.

As a result, the city was sufficient before, even considered spacious, but now, with the influx of people, it’s clearly running at overcapacity.

Especially since the Imperial City occupies a significant portion of the Capital City, more than one-third of it.

As a result, the space left for the common people is much smaller.

Especially with the influx of merchants, the entire social scene has started to become lively.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the night now is brightly lit.

The reason for this result is entirely due to a policy decree by Lin Yi.

Previously in the Dayou nation, or many other countries before, they all had curfew policies.

This meant no activities were allowed at night.

During the day, it’s fine, but once night falls, no one can be on the street, only staying at inns or their homes.

This regulation troubled many merchants, as when they arrived, unfamiliar with the land, they sought an inn only to find it fully occupied; they had no choice but to hastily leave the city to find a place in the wilderness to rest.

However, today’s society is not like those future times, and in this society, the wilderness holds many risks.

Therefore, Lin Yi was quick to abolish the curfew policy.

Without a curfew, life became much more convenient for these merchants.

Even though the inns are still full, these people can at least find a corner to sleep.

The presence of the city walls means there’s no worry about wild beasts like wolves and tigers.

Nowadays, the streets at night are almost packed with people. Merchants conduct business throughout the night, and travelers rest wherever they can, some laying their bedding on carts to sleep.

Thus, expanding the city has become an urgent necessity.

Lin Yi knows that after expanding the city, the top priority is to increase the capacity of the inns. With so many people here, ensuring accommodation and amenities is essential.

Initially, Lin Yi thought of creating a chain hotel like those in later generations.

But this idea was quickly vetoed by Xiao Zihan.

Jokingly, he aspired not for small profits but to control the source of all goods so that the distribution centers could thrive.

He acted swiftly. With the resources, employing labor was much more efficient.

Previously, even if they were not paid, forcing them to work wasn’t an issue, let alone now when Lin Yi takes care of all their meals and pays each worker what they deserve.

This made everyone eager to work.

For the merchants, it was manageable, but the permanent residents of the Capital City felt troubled.

Now, the Capital City is filled with an abundance of goods, some familiar, some never seen or heard of, there’s everything.

The only headache is that while there are many good things, money is lacking.

Many people have spent almost all of their savings accumulated over a lifetime.

Having seen these good items, they want to buy them for their home, which drives their urgent need to earn money.

This enabled Lin Yi to recruit many craftsmen.

When Lin Yi announced the recruitment of craftsmen, almost everyone was tempted.

Initially, they thought it would be like before, just providing meals without payment, but even that was good enough because at least they save on household food expenses.
