Wang Shunzi was the first to step forward: "Boss, I started it. Fire me. Brother Gengtian's mother is in poor health and needs him to earn money to buy medicine."
"Boss, please fire me. Brother Shunzi has children at home; he can't leave."
"Master..."
The crowd was chattering incessantly, which annoyed Song Ning, who yelled, "Shut up, all of you!"
He looked at the young man and asked, "Where's the money you received today?"
He pointed at Song Sanhai and whispered, "It's still on him."
Song Ning stretched out his hand to Song Sanhai: "Money."
When Song Sanhai saw that Song Ning was asking him for money, he immediately became unhappy: "Er Ya, they beat me up like this, and that little bit of money isn't even enough to see a doctor. Why should I pay for it? Besides, I'm your third uncle, so isn't it only right that I give you more? Just consider it your way of showing respect to your third uncle as a junior."
Song Ning didn't want to waste words with him, so he ordered the three men around him to search him directly.
After returning the money they had found to the young man, Song Sanhai, being smarter than Song Erhai, immediately understood Song Ning's meaning.
This means they're not going to get involved anymore.
Song Ning looked at everyone and said loudly, "It is necessary to say a few words here. First of all, Song Sanhai is not my third uncle. Secondly, we do not allow special treatment here. Not to mention my third uncle, even the county magistrate's third uncle is not an option."
Also, I hope that in the future, if you encounter any problems, you will report them to me first, instead of trying to solve them yourself.
After saying that, he looked at Song Sanhai and said, "Song Sanhai, I can let today's matter go for now, but I don't keep people who want to freeload here. Since you're here to act like a big shot, I won't keep you here. Since you haven't been working and have been drinking my cold soup lately, you're not getting paid. Pack your things and leave."
Upon hearing that his wages were gone, Song Sanhai immediately quit, but he managed to keep his composure.
He immediately changed his tune: "Er Ya, you can't treat me like this. I'm your third uncle, we're all family. How can you just disown me like that? I know I was wrong. I promise I'll work hard from now on and never cause you any trouble. Please give me another chance."
Song Ning looked at Song Sanhai and suddenly smiled: "Alright, you said it yourself, so I'll give you that chance."
"Manager Wang."
"exist."
"From now on, assign him any heavy or tiring work so he can make up for the work he missed these past few days."
"yes."
"Furthermore, as the person in charge, not only do you not mediate the conflict, but you also lead the fight and cause trouble, delaying the construction progress. This month's management fee is gone again."
Wang Shunzi bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Master, I was wrong, I will be punished."
Before leaving, he warned Song Sanhai: "If you want to stay here, work hard. If I find you causing trouble again, get out of here."
Song Sanhai didn't utter a single word of rebuttal, but his hands were clenched tightly, and where Song Ning couldn't see, his eyes were filled with hatred.
On the way back, they ran into the county magistrate. Song Ning stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, you've come at the right time. I have something I'd like to tell you."
Song Ning and Zheng Gaoyi recounted what had just happened, discussed some other matters, and then went to the dock together.
The dock is now ready; all that's missing are people to open the shops.
Both shops Song Ning chose were located in the middle of two streets, and both were decorated for her by the Li family. It has to be said, they have that authentic feel to them.
"The sewer system you mentioned should be almost finished, and the docks are nearly done too. Shouldn't we start implementing what you said before?"
"Indeed, it's time to rebuild the county government office."
According to the customs of that era, the county government office should be built on the central axis of the entire county town, preferably in the center.
However, when Zheng Gaoyi came, those houses were not built according to the regulations. Although the county government office is still on the central axis, it is now built in a place that is slightly to the south.
Zheng Gaoyi didn't want to go through that trouble, so he decided to rebuild the county government office in the original location.
She doesn't need to be involved in building the county government office; just follow the current regulations for county government offices in the Jin Dynasty.
Her presence is needed in the layout of the county town center.
The county government office was surrounded by four main streets running east, west, north, and south. The northernmost street was the center of the entire Tianxiang County.
In her previous life, the city center was mostly filled with shopping, dining, and entertainment venues, and Song Ning planned to plan this area based on her experience from her previous life.
In addition to restaurants and eateries, the city center will also feature luxury goods and handicraft shops, as well as teahouses where you can drink tea and listen to music.
Or, we could also promote some modern entertainment projects at that time.
Song Ning pointed to a piece of land around them and said, "This place is quite a distance from the county government office, but it's in the very center of the county town. Your Excellency, I want this land."
“Okay.” Zheng Gaoyi didn’t hesitate at all.
She's now eagerly anticipating seeing skyscrapers rise from the ground in Tianxiang County.
When the time comes, the building she constructs here will surely become a landmark building in Tianxiang County.
The map of Tianxiang County is now marked with more and more buildings. First, the county government office will be built. After the county government office is built, construction can begin in the four directions.
The area surrounding the four streets can be developed into a residential area, and beyond that, perhaps workshops or similar facilities could be established in the future.
Further out, there are residential areas, and beyond that, the land and mountains of Tianxiang County stretch out.
Things have to be done step by step. Song Ning can't take care of the peripheral issues right now. Once the county government office is repaired, the next step will be the infrastructure.
Tianxiang County must have its own schools and academies.
She had already chosen the location: Qingyun Mountain in the east of the city. From now on, it would be called Qingyun Academy.
It's auspicious to borrow the phrase "rising to prominence" (平步青云).
There are also clinics. Ever since Tang Xinghuai's accident, no doctors have come to Tianxiang County. If someone has a headache or fever, there is nowhere to see a doctor.
There are many other necessities; whatever is available elsewhere, we must have here, and whatever is not available elsewhere, we must have here as well.
She will now focus her main energy on this.
When she came back from outside, she ran into Song Rui, who was also coming back. As soon as he entered, he asked, "Er Ya, did my third uncle cause trouble?"
"It got out so quickly?"
Song Rui said with a guilty look, "Er Ya, I'm sorry. I sent Third Uncle over there. I didn't expect him to cause you trouble."
"It's alright. I've already warned him that if he does it again, I won't keep him. However... I don't want to push him to the brink. If you have time, you should still try to persuade him to work diligently. I won't go looking for trouble. But if there really is a next time, I won't be so easy to talk to."
"Don't worry, I will definitely persuade him."
That's what they say, but old habits die hard. Song Sanhai probably already holds a grudge about what happened today. If he had vented his anger today, Song Ning might have believed that he really knew he was wrong. But suddenly changing his attitude and not causing trouble? That's impossible.
She wanted to see what kind of way Song Sanhai could come up with to deal with her.
If the situation is serious, report it to the authorities directly and let him spend the rest of his life in prison.
