Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 833 - 793: To Get Rich, Build Roads First

"Haha, this really is starting with a bowl and relying on begging in the later stages."

He shook his head somewhat self-deprecatingly, saying this with a bitter smile.

In his heart, at this moment, there was nothing more luxurious to desire; actually, if truth be told, this wasn't too bad.

After all, this time his traversal brought his physical body along.

Not merely soul-traversing to some dynasty.

And precisely because of this, it was impossible to traverse onto someone else's body.

Under such circumstances, being able to have the current situation was already quite good.

The most important point was the existence of the System Space, the Iron Man Armor on his body, and the various black technologies he brought along. No matter where he was, even if thrown onto a beggar, it would be very easy to rise up.

Currently, he is the only person walking on this quiet street, as for the others, they're busy taking care of those individuals.

Including Leng Yu, who is currently overwhelmed and still caring for the elderly, sick, women, and children.

Of course, besides this happy news, there's another thing that's quite delightful, which is outside the town where Yan Country soldiers have built a very large horse pen.

This stable not only can accommodate up to ten thousand horses but is also built with extraordinary precision.

This shows that Yan Country plans to stay here for the long term.

Upon learning of this situation, everyone discussed and decided to gather up once the elderly, sick, women, and children were in better health and not in danger, then return to that valley to bring those horses over.

Of course, the sooner this is done, the better. In their plan, it must be completed within two days.

As for what to do about the daily consumption of these horses?

Solutions can only be thought of then.

Since there isn't ready-made fodder, they can only be allowed to forage freely in the forest.

In this mountain forest, while there might not be much else, there certainly are plenty of plants.

With plants and water, is there a fear these horses would starve?

Strolling alone to the city wall, looking at this dilapidated wall, Lin Yi's mind starts contemplating whether to refurbish it or rebuild it, making it more perfect.

But after some thought, he shook his head again, feeling there's no need to do so.

Even though this could be considered his original base, Lin Yi doesn't plan to stay here long-term nor for a prolonged time; his goal is to dominate the entire world.

Even though he has a long time to accomplish it, the sooner the better.

Stepping on some broken stone steps, he walks up to the watchtower, and not only that, he stamps his foot, calling the Iron Man thrust device to appear on his legs, propelling him directly into the sky, reaching the roof of the tallest building on the watchtower.

Leaning against some broken tiles, his gaze falls on the distant, mysterious forest, Lin Yi's heart starts pondering his next plan.

"This place is still too primitive, and the manpower too scarce."

Thinking about just over a hundred people here, Lin Yi shakes his head.

Relying on them alone to conquer this vast territory is clearly unrealistic.

So what exactly should he do next? Should he directly find an Imperial Family to recruit him?

Doing so would undoubtedly be the fastest way to accumulate connections.

Directly controlling an Imperial Family's fate would mean instantly having the country in his grasp.

This is the fastest shortcut, enabling him to achieve world domination sooner.

However, thinking this through, he rejects the idea.

Although this method quickly gains control over an army and a nation's power, clearly, no one would truly respect him.

When truly implementing commands, many troublesome issues would inevitably arise.

Just like when he ascends to the throne and orders a regional officer to go to war, it's highly probable that they would pretend to comply but secretly defy, or even take the opportunity to establish their own power—these are all possibilities.

After all, people's hearts are hard to read; although ancient thinkers aren't as complex as today's, self-interest is deeply ingrained.

The most significant point is that although impoverished people today are quite simple, scheming is unavoidable at the official level.

Thinking this through, a notion forms subtly in his mind.

That is, he must personally cultivate his own team, personally establish his own power, only in this way can there be alignment in thought and action, making sure he has absolute authority.

Yet clearly, relying on just over a hundred people cannot achieve this goal.

Hence, the most crucial point now is recruiting manpower, but how should he do it?

This is the location of the Border Army Camp; within a hundred-mile radius, there's no city at all.

This place is about 300 kilometers from You Country's political center, the Capital City.

Considering modern society, this distance is very short.

Even if driving, it only takes two to three hours, let alone flying, which takes only a few minutes.

But for now, considering the current transportation conditions, a round trip takes over a month, being absolutely unrealistic.

This is not an exaggeration; currently, walking relies entirely on legs, and communication relies entirely on yelling.

Moreover, even roads connecting a few fortresses are difficult and rugged; let alone paved roads, having a full dirt road is considered good enough.

Thinking this through, Lin Yi can't help but sigh, wanting to get rich, firstly, repair roads. Only when transportation is developed can the economy grow.

Not just the economy, if he wants to conquer the world, the first task is to build roads reaching every part.

Otherwise, even if a place is conquered, truly guarding it is quite challenging.

Just like after conquering Europe, the army responsible for attacking may never return.
