Workers report that the city walls are crumbling. Emperor Lin Yi visits a recently completed section and tests its strength with a hammer, finding it surprisingly solid. He instructs the workers to water the walls daily for a week to ensure proper curing.

In their memories, if the walls were made of mud, then no matter what, they couldn’t be watered.

Even after the walls dried, they couldn’t be watered, because under the erosion of water, the dry mud would become soft again, or even fall apart, which was something that would absolutely happen.

In the eyes of everyone, although this gray-black material is now incredibly solid, they imagine it must be as afraid of water as mud is, and a rush of water might wash it away.

However, at this moment, Lin Yi had already given the order and instructed them. Therefore, no matter how confused or puzzled they were, they had to toughen up and do it.

So, they could only nod to Lin Yi, indicating that they understood and remembered the matter.

Seeing this, Lin Yi also nodded in satisfaction. He seemed to notice what these people were thinking and understood their doubts.

But obviously, this couldn’t be explained in a sentence or two; everything had to wait for the results before their hearts could be completely at ease.

For example, if he hadn’t come right now, if the wall hadn’t waited four days for the cement to solidify, surely there would still be lingering worries in their hearts.

Only by letting them completely witness the hardness of the cement, only by letting them fully understand its power, can all their doubts be dispelled, can those who constantly fabricate nonsense finally shut their mouths.

After handling the matters here and strolling around the entire construction site, finding no deviation in the structures, he was satisfied and returned home.

He brought Xiao Zihan back to the Imperial Palace, but as for the matters over at the workshop, Lin Yi did not plan to go there.

After all, it’s already on track over there, and with Xiao Zihan’s arrangements, everything is very orderly.

Walking on the bustling streets, seeing the increasing crowds around, Lin Yi knew the expansion was imperative.

He believed that in less than half a year, the newly expanded section of the city would also be insufficient, and they might need to expand further.

But there was also an advantage; even with expansion, there wouldn’t be chaos in planning.

Because, at this moment, Lin Yi had already put several planning projects on the agenda, and at the very least, the design drawings were all planned out.

Each surrounding city’s design had reserved places connected to the outside and had matching facilities prepared.

"Zihan, do you think, with so many people in the Capital City now, could we implement the modern housing policy over here? We now have cement and steel, so building should not be a problem, right?"

It’s undeniable that Lin Yi mentioned this because he was a bit troubled; the current influx of people is overwhelming.

With the current trend of expansion, it still couldn’t keep up with the population increase.

After all, the tallest houses now are only two-story wooden buildings.

It’s precisely because of this that Lin Yi thought about bringing the modern concept of housing complexes here and directly building them.

The height of each building doesn’t need to be very tall; building them at least six stories high or five stories high shouldn’t be an issue.

Though, at present, there are no large lifting devices, no tower cranes, one should not forget that labor is quite cheap now, and the workforce is extremely hardworking.

Of course, although that’s said, Lin Yi doesn’t plan on relying solely on manual labor for the construction.

At this moment, seeing Xiao Zihan beside him with sparkling eyes after hearing this,

Indeed, as Lin Yi said, cement and steel have been developed, and daily production is not small. Furthermore, the quality of the bricks is also quite good.

With these materials available, constructing multi-story buildings is not a challenge.

For example, the city wall currently under construction is three stories high, isn’t it?

"You’re right, since the city wall can be built to three stories, then residential buildings could certainly be built to at least five stories.

Of course, with our current capabilities, anything higher might be too challenging, considering we don’t have large construction machinery here."

Hearing Xiao Zihan’s words, Lin Yi chuckled and then said:

"Although we don’t have it here, the 21st century does.

Our Nuclear Corporation has it; pulling one out at random, aren’t they all large-scale equipment?

How could we lack these things?

Although they can’t be sent over in bulk, I feel that asking the Ministry of Construction to send a construction team shouldn’t be a problem."

It’s undeniable that Lin Yi’s words are indeed very alluring, making Xiao Zihan’s eyes light up once more.

Yes, how could she forget that her man has such an ability, to bring things from the 21st century over here?
