Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1320 - 1172: Lao Lin (2)

In his opinion, the houses looked quite different, but in the eyes of others, in the eyes of everyone, they were considered very modern and stylish.

Though nowadays the term "modern" does not exist, it’s more or less the same.

In any case, they all believed these were like those heavenly houses, meaning the houses they build nowadays might very well be modeled after those heavenly ones.

After all, to them, Lin Yi was an Immortal from heaven, and only an Immortal could conceive of such beautiful construction methods.

Indeed, as Xiao Zihan said, the progress here was impressively fast, especially after completing the underground part, the workload above ground was much quicker. Nowadays, there was truly enough manpower, with at least hundreds of people working in one building, greatly improving work efficiency, often even faster than mechanical equipment.

The people here, none of them were shirking or slacking off; one by one, they were dutifully hardworking. Nowadays, the wages they earned were beyond anything they had ever imagined. After returning from work here, whose home hadn’t undergone an earth-shattering change?

At the very least, people who once couldn’t get enough to eat were now able to not only eat their fill but occasionally even enjoy a few ounces of meat and buy a small jug of spirits.

Such things were once unthinkable, even in the homes of the gentry.

But now, this has become the most common lifestyle for them. How could they not be excited? How could they not be overwhelmingly grateful to Lin Yi?

Nowadays, as long as they weren’t lazy, as long as they went to work, they could earn money daily and buy tasty treats for their wives and children to take home.

Moreover, the Capital City was changing day by day, with countless new shops added across the city. The street vendors had multiplied several times over, and all kinds of foods and new gadgets were emerging in endless variations. Compared to before, this was what true prosperity looked like.

Lin Yi believed that even the flourishing Tang dynasty paled in comparison to the present times.

After all, although it was prosperous back then, it lacked advanced technologies.

Could you have imagined bicycles running all over the streets back then?

Could you have imagined robust automobiles driving down the streets back then?

Could you have imagined the streets were not paved with yellow soil but made of concrete?

Apart from this, the buildings within the first ring of the Capital City had also undergone earth-shattering changes. Lin started to have areas remodeled, and although the houses retained their ancient simplicity, they were overall new and well-organized.

It’s worth noting that Lin Yi’s thinking was indeed ahead of its time.

Although people do not yet have bicycles or cars and rely on their legs or the occasional family ox cart, to meet future needs for when everyone could be riding bicycles, Lin Yi built the roads wide and flat.

More commendably, Lin Yi painted markings on the road.

Various markings, which the people had never seen before, intrigued them greatly. It turned out that even walking could involve so many intricacies, no wonder people called him the Immortal, as his lifestyle was indeed different from that of mere mortals.

The streets of Capital City used to be filled with hurried crowds, but nowadays, not only were there more street vendors and shops, but many more children as well, making the streets lively.

"How long will it take before our neighborhood starts being officially used?

If we were to just finalize a corner, just a few buildings and arrange for those displaced people to move in, how long would it take?"

The two strolled along and found their father, who was still busy at work, and for a moment, Lin Yi felt quite emotional.

Originally, he wanted to arrange for him to retire at the nuclear group, but unexpectedly, once in the group, big and small matters all fell to him, all needed him to handle and manage.

This undoubtedly added a lot of pressure to the old man.

It made Lin Yi feel this was not his original intention.

Currently, bringing him to ancient times was meant for him to relax, enjoy his life here and retire peacefully.

After all, the living conditions and environment here were incomparable to those in later times, particularly since there was no such thing as air pollution here; every day you looked up, there was a clear blue sky, and seeing stars during the day was also a possibility.

But unexpectedly, after Lin Jianguo arrived here, he remained very busy.

Moreover, this busyness was quite different from before; previously, he was busy in the office, but now, he was physically involving himself in construction work on site, watching their father covered in dust every day, Lin Yi felt quite torn.

He was considering whether to have his father return, just to go back to the nuclear group.

However, clearly, he had already conveyed this idea to his father, but it was rejected outright.

According to his father, where their family was, that was home.

If he were to be left alone and sent back to the nuclear group now, what would be the point of life?

What’s more, it seemed he found his life’s value and meaning here through his busy work, enjoying it; seeing tall buildings rise from the ground made Lao Lin exceptionally proud and satisfied.

It’s worth knowing that the first tall building in this world was built by him, surely earning him eternal fame.

How could he possibly let go of such things? How could he not manage them here?

Moreover, although the work was demanding and the environment not ideal right now, it was only temporary. He believed life was going to get better day by day, and compared to others, he was truly fortunate.

Not to mention the small car that made him the most noticeable person in the Capital City.

He also discovered that people of this era were generally very honest and sincere, making interactions particularly comfortable.

Of course, there were always those skilled in cunning schemes, mostly at the Imperial Court, but one thing was clear: none dared to act rashly toward Lao Lin.

After all, Lao Lin was regarded as a figure akin to the supreme leader, and it was no exaggeration to say that if he looked unfavorably upon someone, he could have them executed, an entirely ordinary occurrence.

For such reasons, with Lao Lin’s status here, he walked through the entire Capital City with authority, speaking with no opposition; everyone who saw him wore an ingratiating smile.

Luckily, Comrade Lin did not forget his roots nor become arrogant.

When dealing with others, he was very fair and just; if you performed well, he recognized it, and if not, he was candid in his criticism.

He wouldn’t change his opinion of someone because of their attitude toward him.

Now, upon hearing his son’s question, Lao Lin frowned in contemplation.

After a while of considering, he finally spoke to his son.
