Under his leadership, strong commanding forces for the construction of farmhouses were organized ranging from the capital to provinces, cities and counties, it was formulated as a policy and law for the state to provide all cities and counties with cement for rural house construction on a regular basis every year so as to firmly guarantee their implementation and each region formed a powerful construction force.

Under the state concern, the plans of modern and diversified rural houses preserving regional characteristics were completed and introduced according to coastal, lowland and mountainous areas, and thus such houses are under construction all across the country.
