Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

After Lin Yi’s previous experience of making the Xuanwu chariot in the army, these blacksmiths naturally would not refuse to help Lin Yi.

After all, the army is now going to war and doesn't need much, so they can have some extra time.

"Boss Lin, what do you want to do?"

These blacksmiths surrounded Lin Yi with curious eyes, thinking that Lin Yi must have some new ideas.

"I just want you to make some tools for me, preferably in large quantities."

Lin Yi immediately said, "I wonder if you are free to help me now."

"Of course there are, but if they're just tools..."

There was a hint of disappointment on the faces of these blacksmiths. They thought it was something new, but it turned out to be just a tool?

It's just axes, pitchforks and other things.

“It’s not just any tool.”

Lin Yi aroused their enthusiasm with just one sentence.

After the deal was settled, Lin Yi drew some strange tools on the paper.

Except for one shaped like a shovel and a pickaxe, they didn't recognize the others.

"Boss Lin, is this...really a tool?"

Looking at several design drawings, the blacksmiths were a little skeptical. How could a blunt straight knife with serrations and a shovel be telescopic?

“Make a few first and see!”

Lin Yi glanced at the sky and urged, "I want to get more out before tomorrow morning. I can send the money later."

With the "precedent" of the Xuanwu chariot, these blacksmiths chose to believe it and then made it carefully and strictly according to Lin Yi's design.

In a moment, a large saw, a telescopic shovel, a pickaxe, and even a small cart were all made.

"Boss Lin, what do you think of these?"

The blacksmiths, after quenching the things, let them cool down for a while.

Lin Yi took it and tried it, and it was indeed what he wanted.

“How many sets can you do?”

He immediately asked, "Do as much as you can before dawn, and I will discuss the payment with the Ministry of Revenue later."

With these things, any material can be easily obtained!

The blacksmiths helped Lin Yi work overnight and made a lot of tools.

When it was daybreak, the Minister of Works rushed over after hearing the news and was stunned when he saw the pile of strange things in the military camp.

What are these things?

"Take the things first, we are going to start working."

Lin Yi couldn't stop smiling, "We won't sell their materials! We'll make them ourselves!"

After saying that, the Ministry of Industry immediately sent people to deliver the things to the area where the community was being built in the northeast direction.

There is a small cart where you can put things and transport them at a fast speed.

Before noon, all the refugees and craftsmen had gathered in front of this pile of "strange" tools.

"This is a saw, this is a shovel..."

Lin Yi began to briefly introduce the usage, and then the refugees started working in batches.

In Dayong's era, the thing that is least in short supply is wood!

What is lacking is the efficiency of cutting down trees and digging materials!

After the refugees assigned a lot of people to cut trees and dig soil, Lin Yi gathered these assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works and some more core craftsmen.

"Do you remember cement?"

"It's the same method used for the walls of the entertainment city before."

Lin Yi said slowly, "This time we are going to use them to build a house!"

Everyone was surprised by his arrangement.

When it comes to building city walls, cement really works wonders, and since the size of the wall is fixed, it doesn’t require much effort.

But...can this thing be used to build a house?

The craftsmen all frowned slightly, expressing their doubts.

"Master Lin, we already knew about cement, but... it takes so many materials to make cement..."

The assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works became worried one by one.

Hearing these words, Lin Yi sighed slightly, but his face still showed confidence.

Soon, when the refugees were cutting trees and digging soil, Lin Yi taught them how to use cement correctly.

Including using some frameworks to shape it.

Immediately, everyone who was "listening to the class" had expressions of surprise on their faces.

Things they had never thought of were explained clearly by Lin Yi and were even very feasible!

Eager to try, they immediately set to work.

It happened that the first batch of soil had been dug out.

They started setting up a big pot to boil cement!

Shovels are used to dig soil, pickaxes are used to crush rocks. In this place where there is no shortage of natural resources, materials are everywhere.

Under Lin Yi's command, a large area of ​​land in the northwest was leveled and the trees were cut down, creating a large "open space".

Materials continued to arrive, and refugees began to help make cement.

The only thing that still needs to be done is to dig the foundation to support the stability of the entire concrete high-rise.

Lin Yi used hardwood to build the frame for the first time, and then piled cement on top of it.

Although the effect is not as good as the combination of steel and concrete, it is enough!

For several days in a row, Lin Yi was directing and supervising the construction site. Even Huangfu Qingling came over out of curiosity to see what was going on after hearing the news.

In her eyes, these refugees who had caused unrest in the public security of Liangzhou City have now become workers building houses one by one.

When Lin Yi saw Huangfu Qingling coming to inspect in person, he naturally went up to her immediately.

However, she could not reveal her identity as the empress to outsiders, so he only addressed her as "Your Highness".

"Cement, can it be used to build a house? Isn't it too heavy?"

Huangfu Qingling asked slowly.

"I have already laid the foundation, and the structure is absolutely sound."

While explaining, Lin Yi took Huangfu Qingling to check out the construction site in the community.

Everyone is having a great time. Even though their current living conditions are not particularly good, they are all full of hope for the future.

As Huangfu Qingling walked, he looked at the surrounding facilities, the ones that grind stones, the ones that make cement...

In the meantime, I ask about the progress from time to time.

To put it bluntly, she was just feeling bored and wanted to come out to get some fresh air and see some different scenery.

Even if you stay in a big hotel or play in an entertainment city every day, you will get bored.

While Lin Yi was accompanying Huangfu Qingling on the inspection, Zhou Chaoxian also secretly left the city and watched from the side.

He originally expected that Lin Yi would come to him to ask for materials in two or three days because he could no longer hold on.

According to Zhou Chaoxian's "script", Lin Yi should now be in front of him, begging him to lower the price to the previous one!

But instead of coming to find him, Lin Yi was still working there!

Looking at the smoke and the various things that were delivered, Zhou Chaoxian was extremely confused.

What is Lin Yi doing?

He sneaked closer to take a look.

It seems like Lin Yi’s construction site is burning something, something smelly, and there is wood as well?

Immediately, Zhou Chaoxian was surprised.

Then he looked at the house under construction, which seemed to be made of some special materials.

He swallowed and glanced at the various tools in the hands of the refugees.

There was only one thought in my mind: It’s broken!
