Lin Yi and his companions enjoyed a leisurely moment in the Imperial Palace before departing in his advanced nuclear-powered car. The sight of the futuristic vehicle, driven by Lin Yi and his family, amazed the onlookers and sparked innovation, inspiring merchants to modify their carriages to resemble cars and adopt four-wheeled designs, inadvertently accelerating technological development.

For example, nowadays the ministers each have a bicycle in hand. These ministers ride their bicycles to court every day, and not just to court; even on regular days, they ride bicycles.

This is also a symbol of identity and status, a manifestation of nobility.

Currently, they treat the underground rewarded bicycles as treasures. Even at home, no one is allowed to touch them; even if their precious son touches one, it’s absolutely forbidden, and a spanking is inevitable.

These bicycles are fantastic; once you ride them, you can speed like the wind without exerting much effort, and they are far more convenient than carriages.

This has resulted in bicycles being lined up when going to court these days.

Lin Yi even specifically ordered a row of bike sheds outside for storing these bicycles.

Every time he sees this, Lin Yi finds it very amusing. As for whether they will be given additional items, that depends on their performance.

Lin Yi also thought about upgrading the bicycles for them once they all get used to them.

Any minister with merit may be rewarded with a nuclear-powered electric scooter.

Yes, an electric scooter, not the imagined four-wheel electric vehicle, but merely a two-wheel electric bicycle.

With the use of nuclear battery, even if the electric bicycle is ridden until scrapped, you don’t have to worry about charging issues.

Haven’t you seen the powerful thrust and strong endurance of nuclear-powered helicopters?

Of course, these are future considerations; at least, such things won’t happen anytime soon.

These bicycles undoubtedly give this group of officials a sense of pride, especially the military officers, only they are equipped with bicycles.

As for the officials from other prefectures, although Lin Yi plans to distribute bicycles to them, he hasn’t done so yet.

Therefore, whenever local officials come to the Capital City, the military officers undoubtedly show off their strong sense of superiority.

They especially love to show off their bicycles in front of them. Some military generals even play with bicycles like they’re performing tricks, carrying the massive Azure Dragon Crescent Blade on their back, and standing on a bicycle.

It really exudes an overwhelming aura, and I feel they simply hold the momentum of this bicycle firmly.

Moreover, these military officers have excellent biking skills. After getting used to riding these bicycles, they can even perform various stunts with bicycles, like drifting and single-handed meetings; it’s beyond description. If they were to perform in a circus in the future, it wouldn’t be inappropriate.

This shows the strength of these guys’ horsemanship.

Some military generals have even thought of riding with both hands off the handlebars; whether it’s equally stable?

And as they guessed, many people can’t control it, but there are a few talented ones who can ride steadily holding the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade in both hands, with their feet on the bicycle.

Of course, this must be on the open roads of the Capital City; it’s obviously unrealistic elsewhere, as the roads in the Capital City are incredibly smooth, and so bicycles can run swiftly above.

Besides this group of officials, there’s also another batch who received bicycles, and that’s the Guards in the Imperial Palace, specifically Lin Yi’s Personal Guards.

Although Lin Yi doesn’t need these Personal Guards, his parents and Xiao Zihan are ordinary people; they don’t have his ability to evade danger successfully.

If someone truly targets them with ill intentions, it would be extremely perilous.

Thus, Lin Yi specifically trained a batch of skilled personnel responsible for their safety.

Besides this, these people are equipped with bicycles and various security equipment, including a complete set of helmets and clothing, along with specialized high-strength electric batons.

The first time they saw the electric batons, everyone jumped in surprise. Seeing the flashing lightning, they just assumed Lin Yi brought down Thunderbolt Power from heaven and passed it on to each of them, which excited them for quite some time.

Not only that, but walking within the Imperial Palace, every Guard who saw them wore envious expressions.

You must know that they now have a very resounding name, Thunder Guard!

Indeed, the implication is that they can wield thunderbolt power, further enhancing their deterrence capabilities, making them receive respectful treatment wherever they go and drawing envious sights.

Within this batch of Guards, the luckiest ones are those who accompany his old dad.

These individuals not only got the latest equipment, but also get to go to the construction site with their dad every day.

And when they go, it’s not them riding the bicycles, but sitting inside their dad’s car.

Apart from them, Lin Yi specifically trained a female army for Xiao Zihan.

The mission of this female army is similar to that batch serving his father, aiming to protect Xiao Zihan’s safety.

Not only that, external protection alone isn’t enough to assure their safety, so Lin Yi provided his father and Xiao Zihan with a handgun.

In today’s society, this is truly an ultimate weapon, an overwhelming power hardly reducible.

Even in the face of great danger, pulling this out can instantly take out the enemy’s leader; at least, it guarantees survival.

Leaving aside how many people the bullets can kill; once the gun fires, who wouldn’t be afraid?

In this situation where it can kill silently, who dares to approach?

In summary, this array of protection somewhat put Lin Yi’s mind at ease, as ancient society was fraught with peril.

In addition to these security measures, Lin Yi also bolstered the defenses of the Capital City, making its law and order immeasurably better than before.

It can almost be said, in the streets, there are guards every three steps and beasts every five steps, with patrolling teams nonstop, as the Capital City has now expanded immensely and the flow of people has drastically increased.

Of course, a few petty issues can’t be avoided among them, and how should these pests be dealt with?

Of course, people must be sent to intimidate them; these Guards now serve to intimidate pests. When this army appears, the crime rate in the Capital City markedly drops.

Nowadays, practically zero petty thefts occur, and those culprits started working as laborers for wages.

After all, the money stolen in a day doesn’t even match the wages earned from a day’s hard labor, making them abandon their original trade directly.

Thus, currently, life in the Capital City is harmonious and prosperous, with everyone living happily, especially as the people began to spend extravagantly after acquiring wealth.

Moreover, upon knowing the people here have money and want to consume rather than farm, merchants bring mostly food when coming to the Capital City.

Presently, not only are all the granaries full, but civilians’ homes are filled with unprecedented amounts of food.

It can be said their stock is even richer than previous years’ reserves.

Previously, even if rats went into the Capital City granaries, they would leave crying.
