After sending off the experts, Ren Baqian stood on the city wall and watched them disappear into the horizon. He could finally relax. At least such a major task had been completed smoothly.
As they descended the city wall, Lin Yue, who had been deep in thought, suddenly made a fuss.
"Aiya, that box of yours can actually talk!"
The corner of Ren Baqian's mouth twitched. He turned to look at Lin Yue and really wanted to knock her on the head.
However, she was an old monster who had been famous for more than 20 years … Even though she wasn't very smart, he still had to maintain the necessary respect.
"It would be good if you were an aboriginal," Ren Baqian said after some thought.
"Oh!" Lin Yue looked at Ren Baqian and continued to look thoughtful.
Ren Baqian estimated that she would have to wait until tomorrow before asking him why she was an aboriginal.
"If you were an aboriginal … it wouldn't look so out of place," Ren Baqian muttered to himself.
Aboriginals … It was normal for them to have muscles in their brains, but it was also normal for them to be brainless. Although Lin Yue was considered "outstanding" among the aboriginals, it was still passable!
"Oh!" Lin Yue continued to look thoughtful.
Ren Baqian ignored her and sighed.
How did such a pretty girl have such a brain?
He had privately inquired about Xiao Linyue, and it was said that she was quite normal back then.
At least not to this extent.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for no one to know about her.
In the following days, Li Yuanzhu and Blood Sea Demon returned to Great Xia. Ren Baqian was busy with various matters in Lan City, including the entire old city renovation plan and the preparation of the new city.
The renovation plan included the water supply tower and pipelines that were being built to deliver tap water to every household.
In fact, this was a very dangerous move.
If someone poisoned the water supply tower …
In this world where the top experts could form an army, it wasn't impossible.
Therefore, the security of the water supply tower was essential.
In addition, there was the planning of public toilets and the laying of sewers. For a city that had been built for hundreds of years, it involved a lot of work.
Although there were still signs of urinating in Lan City, it was much better than when Ren Baqian first arrived. It had to be said that sometimes, severe punishment was a powerful way to improve the quality of the people.
There was a public toilet every 200 meters, and the soldiers outside the city explained some rules to the aboriginals.
As for delivering electric lights to every household, that could only be a wish for the next few years.
Coal and rubber were transported from the south, and Dayao's current transportation situation was barely able to meet some of Ren Baqian's urgent requirements. Needless to say, it was inappropriate to use it for something like this.
From time to time, Ren Baqian would see Lin Yue carrying all kinds of things on the street.
Ren Baqian was puzzled. Why wasn't Lin Yue leaving yet?
However, when he thought of this lady's intelligence … he let her be.
At night, Ren Baqian and the empress lay on the bed, and Ren Baqian plunged into that world in his mind.
During this period of time, two more planets had formed in the world in his mind. As for the dust produced after the other explosions, it did not meet the conditions to form planets. Now, a few nebulae had formed in that space.
Somewhere on one of the planets that was half blue and half green, a huge city stood there.
The empress's palace was located in the center of the city. It was originally located on a hill, but this hill was filled with soil and raised by dozens of meters. The palace gate was at the bottom of the hill. After entering the palace gate, there was a straight road. There were two shuttle buses that would take the court officials to the palace on the hill.
As for the palace complex, Ren Baqian combined the palaces in this world with the Forbidden City in his previous life. Every palace was much more magnificent than the original.
In addition, the largest area was occupied by all kinds of gardens, which took up more than half of the palace.
To Ren Baqian, the magnificent palace complex was far less interesting than the gardens and greenery.
People who grew up in a city built with steel and concrete probably had this kind of preference.
In all four directions of the palace, there were plazas that were 200 meters deep. This allowed the imperial guards to stand on top of the city wall and observe the situation in the distance at any time.
This also isolated the palace from the city.
Outside the plaza was the so-called Second Ring, which included the residences of many officials and the magistrate offices of most departments. This was the center of Lan City.
Further out, the Third Ring was the residential area for low-ranking officials and the rich. At the same time, there were two commercial areas, which were mainly used for large-scale and high-end transactions.
The Fourth Ring was the residential area for ordinary people.
In the entire city, buildings with more than six stories were not allowed within the Second Ring. The deeper one went, the lower the building would be.
Although the buildings outside the Second Ring were all six stories, Ren Baqian believed that with time, this city would also become a city full of steel and concrete.
The two-way eight-lane concrete roads, five-meter-wide sidewalks, sewer pipes, power supply facilities, subway lines, commercial areas, parks, and landscapes were almost all designed according to modern city standards.
After all, Ren Baqian had experience in modern society and knew what level a city would reach.
Ren Baqian's divine sense floated above the city and checked the results he had achieved during this period to see if there were any omissions.
He had to admit that the world in his mind was really advantageous in this aspect. He could realize his ideas according to his thoughts and directly see the results.
This greatly reduced the cost of trial and error.
Ren Baqian planned this city based on the population of three million. In a short period of time, the city might be very empty.
However, in a decade or so, Ren Baqian believed that this city would be filled up and expand to the periphery.
Until the population reached ten million, it would become the only super city in this world.
As for the problems that limited the size of cities in this era — productivity and transportation — it wasn't a big problem in Ren Baqian's eyes.
Ren Baqian felt a little tired after withdrawing from his sea of knowledge. He turned his head to look at the empress and found that her eyes were still open.
It was actually quite scary to look up at the sky in the middle of the night instead of sleeping.
However, the empress had very little need for sleep. Two hours at a time or a good night's sleep was enough for her.
However, what was the meaning of her beaming with joy in the middle of the night?
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" Ren Baqian turned over and hugged the empress while his hand wandered around her body.
"The ball in my stomach is talking to me." The empress looked a little excited. If Ren Baqian hadn't entered her sea of knowledge just now, she would have already shared it with him.
However, Ren Baqian wasn't excited at all when he heard this. Instead, he felt extremely horrified.
The empress had only been pregnant for seven months …
Did Ne Zha in her stomach become a spirit?
"What did he say?" Ren Baqian suppressed the panic in his heart and asked in a slow tone.
"He said … he wants to drink …" The empress sat up from the bed.
Ren Baqian's face twitched and asked, "Is he the one who wants to drink or are you the one who wants to drink?"
"Both! He really told me! "The empress turned to Ren Baqian and said seriously.
