Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1237 - 1130: Lin Yi Arrives in Person

According to Lin Yi’s suggestion, not only should the city walls be constructed with this material, but the ground within the city needs to be hardened with it as well.

Never mind whether we can build a modern city quickly.

The ground hardening project alone is indispensable. Otherwise, if it rains and the whole Capital City turns into a muddy swamp, it will be very inconvenient for the merchants and unsightly as well.

At this time, Lin Yi truly agreed with the saying that wealth comes after roads are built.

The next day, just as dawn broke, all the workers hurried to the city walls to start their new day’s work.

This continued for two days straight.

However, their confidence in the cement dwindled.

The reason was that today, when they were building the wall, part of it collapsed.

This made them even less confident in the cement; they were now genuinely fearful. Could this material really hold up?

Of course, the collapse today wasn’t due to the cement, but because a rolling log accidentally hit the wall during construction.

As soon as the log struck, part of the city wall collapsed.

The mood here continued to build up, and now everyone began to doubt the quality of the wall.

It was precisely because of this that the person responsible for overseeing the work began to have doubts, silently wondering if this material really couldn’t hold up?

At the same time, he considered whether, once the city wall was completed, someone would hold him accountable.

Thinking this, he dared not delay and quickly went to his superior.

Thus, after receiving the report from his subordinate, the superior also began to worry. Initially, he didn’t quite believe it, but when he personally visited the site and saw the wall collapsing at the slightest push, his expression turned somewhat grim.

Immediately, he didn’t dare linger at all and rushed quickly to the Imperial Palace to report the news to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was discussing affairs with Xiao Zihan when he heard the report, and he couldn’t help but freeze.

Simultaneously, he and Xiao Zihan exchanged glances, seeing the bitter smiles in each other’s eyes.

"Let’s go, we should take a look ourselves."

Thus, led by a group of guards, Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan personally went to the wall construction site.

At the moment they appeared, all the people around hurriedly knelt on the ground, bowing to Lin Yi.

In response, Lin Yi waved his hand kindly, signaling everyone to stand up. Then he headed to the location of the collapsed section of the wall.

Looking at the small section of collapsed wall before him, Lin Yi walked forward and picked up a small piece of cement. He discovered that the cement hadn’t dried, or rather, it had been mixed not even two hours ago.

And with this realization, he understood.

With so little time, it’s impossible for the cement to set properly, which is why the wall is indeed not sturdy enough now.

Seeing his actions, Xiao Zihan also quickly figured out the situation.

And then seeing the person in charge of the construction site beside him, upon witnessing this scene, cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.

They were afraid that with one word from the Emperor, the responsibility would fall on them.

Even if they had several heads, it wouldn’t be enough to escape beheading.

They couldn’t handle such a serious matter.

But not only was the person in charge sweating, the workers were also panicking.

Especially when they saw the Emperor easily crush those materials with one hand, they became even more frightened.

Amidst this tense atmosphere, suddenly Lin Yi let out a somewhat helpless laugh.

And as Lin Yi’s laughter echoed, immediately everyone around was taken aback.

One after another, they glanced at each other, not knowing what was happening.

Could it be a sign of the Emperor’s imminent anger?

People say emperors are the hardest to read—perhaps the Emperor’s mind really is unfathomable?

Is this what it means to serve an emperor as if serving a tiger?

Laughing one moment, ready to kill the next?

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yi’s voice rang out:

"Are there any walls that have been done for a few days already? Let’s go take a look."

Lin Yi’s voice wasn’t loud, but it captured the attention of everyone present.

The reason was that everyone at the site held their breath, not daring to make any unnecessary sounds.

Because they feared Lin Yi’s wrath.

Consequently, as soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, someone immediately nodded in agreement and started leading the way to the nearby wall.

And at this moment, Lin Yi also took steps, leading Xiao Zihan with him.

This scene left the person in charge puzzled; he was unclear about what the Emperor intended. Was he checking if the previous wall was also in such a state?

If that’s the case, then he himself wouldn’t escape consequences.

And at this moment, walking behind, he hurriedly tugged at a worker and started asking:
