Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1316 - 1170: Meeting the Young Literary Champion (Part 2)

"When can it officially be put into use?"

There’s no denying, amidst all the other proceeding affairs, what Lin Yi cares most about is this residential area’s matters. It concerns the construction of this district and the future planning of the Capital City.

Also, when various scholars enter the Capital City, they’ll need a place to stay, although the campus construction is ongoing.

But this first batch of residential communities is equally important, and according to the plans given from over there.

Presumably, many people have already made reservations, especially those major merchants, who heard about these residential areas and mansions here before coming to the Capital City, which piqued their interest and made them eager to acquire a set. Upon hearing this, Xiao Zihan also nodded and said:

"Things are going smoothly over there, all managed by our dad.

Yesterday, I found out they’ve already built up to the third level, and hopefully it won’t take much longer to complete, maybe in one or two months.

It’s rather difficult to calculate the exact time, primarily because the foundation construction took a lot of time.

After all, this residential area is newly built, and there’s often a lack of experience, plus various sewage facilities and underground arrangements are challenging. Were it not for our father staying here, this matter would have had difficulty progressing.

Besides, we’re both unable to manage everything by ourselves."

As Xiao Zihan said, when they are busy, they truly don’t have a moment to rest.

Even though Lin Yi is the Emperor and should be the most powerful, and leisure person in the world, the opposite is true. He’s not at all idle.

He’s so busy that time seems to turn into chaos, and when he’s truly busy, people might not even think of him as an Emperor.

Especially those Eunuchs, when seeing them so busy, can’t help but shake their heads and exclaim, no wonder he’s the Emperor. With such diligence and achievements, how could he not lead the Dayou toward glory?

On the contrary, if under such efforts, the Dayou remains mediocre, it would indeed fail the Emperor’s intentions.

Precisely because of Lin Yi’s dedication and efforts, he’s inspired many around him, including those Eunuchs who previously stayed by his side.

At this moment, many have been sent to local places. This isn’t saying Lin Yi appoints people based on favoritism.

But it’s truly that these individuals, following Lin Yi for a long time, have learned a lot of his characteristics, and Lin Yi realized that these Eunuchs are indeed quite useful.

Although Lin Yi knows these individuals shouldn’t be overly trusted, sending them to observe is still good.

Especially after his arrival, the officialdom hasn’t been thoroughly reorganized, so replacing them gradually is quite a good choice.

Once the first batch of apprentices from the academy come out, there will be a major reform in the officialdom, and then, perhaps, Dayou will truly step to a higher level.

"By the way, many people already asked someone to contact me, hoping to secure a batch of houses.

But I feel we can’t do that; these houses must have planned uses, and we can’t favor people based on personal relationships, nor allow them to just take what they want, especially since those officials have also approached me wanting a set."

This, too, was within Lin Yi’s plan and expectations.

These officials naturally know the benefits of the new residential area, so naturally, they want a share.

For such new things, they want to give them a try. It’s like the hotels all over the streets nowadays, these new hotels make them feel novel and unusual.

For these reasons, they also want to experience what a residential area is like, its environment, and comfort.

"This opportunity should not be given to them.

Remember, just as we planned before, reserve a batch of residences specifically to compensate those citizens whose land was taken for demolition.

Don’t let them feel disheartened, but also keep them separate, avoiding association with all residences.

After all, the citizens are always the citizens, even if placed among officials, it wouldn’t be optimal.

At that time, perhaps they would be disadvantaged, because although we are changing the governmental scene and current state, this isn’t something that can be completed overnight, not a matter of instant success.

Rooted deeply in these people’s bones is a sensation of superiority over others, and if they are placed together with citizens now, naturally, the citizens would be at a disadvantage."

What Lin Yi said, Xiao Zihan naturally understood, just as with current officials, among their bones remains the strong sense of class hierarchy.

Not only them, but even the citizens think similarly, considering themselves inferior in front of the officials.

Precisely for this reason, if both parties were to live on the same floor, certainly it would entrench class conflicts, and surely officials would command these low-ranking citizens, changing the entire significance of these residential areas."

"Got it, I understand this matter."

Upon seeing Xiao Zihan understood, Lin Yi didn’t say much more. Suddenly, he became interested.

He wanted to personally go to the bridge and see to observe the progress of this residential area, seeing how far it had come in its first steps toward Zhejiang.

Moreover, as Dayou’s first residential area, the first historically, he wanted to personally witness it, a scene capable of being recorded in history.

He’s even considered how in future historical texts, there might be this record - in a certain year of Dayou, a residential community was built in the Western Suburbs of the Capital City.

This is the first groundbreaking endeavor, changing people’s perception and understanding of housing.

Since then, countries around the world have learned from it.

All in all, whenever Lin Yi recalled this, he found it amusing:

"How about it? Is there anything else now? If there’s nothing, let’s go out for a walk together."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zihan smiled sweetly and then took Lin Yi’s hand, heading towards the outside:

"Of course, there’s nothing! Where you say to go, we’ll go together."

Seeing the sweet smile on Xiao Zihan’s face, Lin Yi felt very gratifying.

After all, although the two are already married, like strolling hand in hand, it’s been ages since they’ve done so.

Due to their daily busyness, the chances to meet are fewer and fewer; besides evenings together, during the day, except for discussing official business, they each go about their own activities.

It’s not only the two of them; even their mother and father are similarly busy.

Their mother not only takes care of Xiaoluo Ning but also does what she can.

One could say the entire Imperial Palace is handled by their mother now.

As for Xiaoluo Ning, she’s become the Imperial Palace’s little wanderer.

In virtually every corner of the Imperial Palace, she’s left behind her cheerful laughter.

Even the bird’s nests on trees have been dug through by her with palace maids and Eunuchs.

Only because this little girl hasn’t quite reached the age, she can’t climb trees herself.

Though she cannot climb, she directs those young maids and Eunuchs to do so.

Lin Yi felt quite helpless about this, and he also deeply saw a point; when this girl grows up, she will undoubtedly be a true force within the Imperial Palace.

It seems everyone within the Imperial Palace will be teased by her someday.

In the course of their conversation, the two had already walked outside the Imperial Palace.

Walking on the streets of the Imperial Palace, the two did not ride in a sedan chair, but hand in hand, walked towards the outside.
