    "Let's go, let's go there now." Luo Zining took the cloak and put it on for himself, saying that spring covers autumn and it's freezing. Although the weather has been warmer recently, it's still cold to go out without wearing a cloak.

    Seeing how anxious he was, Chen Er quickly said: "Princess, don't worry, it's under control over there, I just came back to ask you what you mean, see how to punish them, I can handle things well if you don't go."

    "I haven't been out for a few days, and I have to go to the brick factory to have a look." Luo Zining went out with Chen Er, and when he got into the carriage, he thought that he could ride a horse recently, so he asked Chen Er to help himBring the horse over, and he rides over.

    There used to be three horses in the family, they were used to pull the cart when they came to the fiefdom, now one is kept for the family to buy, one is used by Chen Er when he goes to work, and the other is harnessed to the cart to pull Xiaohong to workYes, but these three horses are just ordinary horses, completely different from Luo Zining's one.

    When he got on the horse, he felt that he was very handsome. When he was a child, he watched martial arts dramas, and he always imagined that he was a hero on horseback, and then he rode around on his own broom all day long.

    He never imagined that one day he would be able to ride a real horse on the street.

    Chen Er rode behind him to protect him, "You have never ridden a horse before, you should slow down, and you have to take it to recognize it."

    Luo Zining nodded, "That's right, this horse's father is Huo Lingfeng, does it have to be given a name? What would you like to call it?"

    Chen Er scratched his head, "How can I come up with a name, let's discuss it with the prince when you come back."

    Luo Zining nodded: "That's right, after all, is he the grandson of the prince? Speaking of which, I took his grandson out for a stroll today."

    Hearing this, the little black horse snorted twice, as if he was very dissatisfied with him calling himself grandson.

    When Luo Zining first went out, he still walked at a slow strolling speed. Later, he felt impatient, so he speeded up. After the horse recognized its owner, it didn't make things difficult for him, and it was very easy to control.Running fast and steady, he soon reached the gate of the brick factory.

    The brick factory has returned to normal long ago, and the dozen or so people who participated in the fight were locked up.

    When the old factory manager and his eldest son saw that Luo Zining had come in person, they all came to greet him, arranged the horses, and he followed the old factory manager and the others to see those people.

    He thought that Chen Er and the others brought the fighters to the office to be punished by him, just like when naughty students were taken to the dean's office and waited for punishment by the teacher when they were in school.All the young men with painted faces were tied up with hemp ropes and knelt down in a row on the ground.

    When they saw Luo Zining coming in, they almost peed in fright, shouting to the princess not to kill us, not to chop off our heads!

    Luo Zining knew it when he heard their shouts, they were frightened by the prince's beheading last time.

    After Luo Zining came in, he sat down on a chair and asked someone to untie them, "Stand up, I won't tell the prince, and I won't kill you."

    Chen Er took the eldest son of the old factory manager to help them untie them. Although they were untied, they still dared not stand up tremblingly.

    Luo Zining looked at them, and they were all injured, but they were not seriously injured.

    Chen Er told him that some people were drinking and making trouble, so naturally someone would be found fault: "I heard that someone was drinking and deliberately seeking trouble, so they fought with another group of people? Who was drinking? Who was not drinking and was seeking troubleYes, you stand separately and show me."

    The six who hadn't been drinking were overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up, "We didn't intend to fight either, they deliberately found fault and struck first, and we fought back when we were cornered."

    "The six of you can leave, let the doctor treat their wounds." Luo Zining asked Chen Er to take them away first.

    Those people thought that Luo Zining would punish all the troublemakers indiscriminately after he came, but now they not only let them go, but also healed their wounds. They left gratefully.

    After those people left, Luo Zining looked at the remaining seven or eight people.

    "Are you sober?" His tone was calm, and he even said it mildly. It's okay not to be gentle. Last time the prince cut off the head in front of them. Now he punishes people too severely. Others are scared when they see it.I am so courageous that I would rather be poor than come to work here.

    Those people's calves are trembling, and they are the only ones left. Are they going to be killed?

    Luo Zining: "It's also my fault. I never said that you can't drink alcohol in the cafeteria. The days are getting better. I couldn't afford to drink alcohol before. Now that I have money, I want to drink some alcohol. This is normal. My original purpose was to letLet’s live a good life through our own efforts, don’t be oppressed by people like Lin Heihu like before, you can’t save money, you can’t live a good life, don’t you think?”

    Those people lowered their heads the more they heard it, and their faces flushed with shame: "It's our fault. We get carried away after making a few money. It's our fault for drinking and making trouble."

    As they spoke, they raised their hands and slapped their own mouths, "I beg the princess to spare my life and don't kill us."

    "I won't kill people. Today you guys had a fight and broke some skins. It's not a big deal or a small thing. After all, this brick factory belongs to the prince. If the prince hears about it, he will definitely be angry., even if I don't kill you, I have to punish you severely. I can suppress this matter today and keep the prince from knowing, but if one day you cause other troubles and the matter becomes serious, I want to hide it from you.The prince can't do it either, and I can't stop him when he wants to kill people." Luo Zining asked them to stand up, but they didn't stand up, "Don't cry, you still have injuries on your face, I'll call someone laterCome here to treat your wounds, so that the wind will not make it worse."

    Those people looked at Luo Zining gratefully, wishing to kowtow to him. They had heard that the princess was like a Bodhisattva with a kind heart. Today they heard what Luo Zining told them, and they completely believed those who said Luo ZiningThere are rumors that Zining is like a Bodhisattva.

    Unexpectedly, when they made a mistake, Luo Zining actually helped to hide it from the prince, and even comforted them. Compared with this, they are simply not human.

    Luo Zining asked Chen Er to invite a doctor, but Chen Er was reluctant, "People like them are not worthy of pity, they can't do things well, and they like to drink, so we should drive them away, and never use them again!Otherwise, what do other people think?"

    Luo Zining sighed, "Indeed, so many people have seen it, it's okay not to punish."

    These ten or so people froze when they heard Luo Zining's words, fearing that the princess would still tell the prince, chop off their heads, or drive them away.

    They are all from poor families, and their families are counting on their wages. If they lose their jobs, they have to go outside to find work. There are many jobs outside, but they need money for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they are not as comfortable as at home., and the family earns a lot here, and they still take care of three meals. These days are not too good.

    And working here is also a face-saving, there are not many girls in the city, and they all look for rich ones, but now those girls' natal families have begun to look at the workers in the brick factory and winery, and they have changed from this place all of a sudden.A person who should be a bachelor for a lifetime has become a sweet potato. If he is fired, he will have nothing.

    They couldn't help but slapped themselves a few more times, hating themselves for being so confused, they didn't know their last name when they had some money, they even caused trouble in the cafeteria, and even beat people up.

    "I will fine you a month's wages, part of which will be used to compensate those who were beaten by you just now, and the rest will be used to pay for your medical expenses." Luo Zining said to Chen Er who was beside him: "If it is their first offense, write down their names first, and if they commit the crime again next time, they will be fined one month’s wages if the offense is not serious, and if the offense is serious, they will be fired and will not be hired again.”

    Chen Er gave those people a cold look, "It's cheap for you, why don't you hurry up and thank you."

    Those few people hurriedly knelt down to thank them. Although they were fined a month's wages, it was better than being fired.

    "Okay, let's all go down." After Luo Zining finished speaking, he let them go first, and then called Chen Er: "Call everyone, and gather for a meeting in half an hour."

    Chen Er nodded quickly, "Hey, okay."

    He called the old factory manager's sons over again, "I asked you to write down who performed well at work and who performed poorly at work, did you remember them all?"

    Those people nodded, "Remember, those who work too slowly and too lazy don't need to be told, we will all drive away, and the rest are hardworking and quick."

    Luo Zining nodded, "Is there an open space behind the brick factory? I'm going to build a house, not a staff dormitory, but a residence. It's best to have a yard, two rooms and a kitchen.Recently, there is a shortage of manpower, and Zhuan is not that rich, so we will build 20 houses first, and when the time comes, we will distribute houses to those who perform well."

    "Your family has your own house, otherwise it will be shared with you. You guys are doing well, and I will give you more bonuses." Luo Zining has seen the house of the old factory owner, and that house is theirs.It was built when it was not in decline, it was big and grand, and although it declined later, the house I lived in did not sell, I only bought a brick factory, and the house was repaired this year when I got rich, and it looked pretty good.There is no need to divide the house.

    But he heard that the workers in the factory had no houses, and they lived with their families in dilapidated thatched huts, or in Shi Lei’s huts. They still solved their housing problem by building a little bit a year, a little bit a year, and finally built it out.A large brick factory belongs to the area.

    With houses, these workers can marry wives and have children, support the elderly, live a happy life, and the city can become more prosperous.

    The old factory owner and their children heard Luo Zining say that they would build a house and distribute it to the workers, and they thought that they had never seen such a good employer. The princess is not like a Bodhisattva, she is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva!There is a temple on their mountain, the Bodhisattva inside should get up and give Luo Zining his seat, let Luo Zining sit in the temple...

    Luo Zining didn't know what they were thinking, so he just asked them to write out the list.

    These people could still read some characters, and quickly wrote their names.

    When Chen Er came back, Luo Zining went through it with Chen Er alone. After Chen Er approved the list, he put away the paper and talked about it in a meeting later.

    "Give that Er Niu a house as well," Luo Zining said.

    Chen Erxin said that it would be good to give them their wages, and that they would be given a house, the host was too kind, "What if they don't want to work after the house is given to them, why not give them a house for nothing after leaving the brick factory?"

    Luo Zining smiled and shook his head: "You just thought of it? I didn't think of it? If you work here, the house belongs to them. If you don't work here, the house will be taken back to others. If you make a mistake, you will be fired.Take it back, the first batch will be given to excellent workers, the second batch will be given to those who have old people and children in their families, and the third batch will be distributed to those who want to get married and rush to use a new house."

    Chen Er still felt that it was not a good deal, that they were not worthy, but Wang Hao naturally had his own considerations, so he didn't say anything to refute, "Those people have already assembled, Wang Hao, let's go to the meeting."

    Luo Zining went with him to the open space behind the brick factory. Luo Zining asked them to bring their own small benches. They sat neatly, like elementary school students at a sports meeting.

    Luo Zining was very satisfied, went to the front and sat down, first told them that the open space where they were sitting was going to build houses in the future, and the first batch of houses would be given to those who did a good job first.

    The people below were all blown up when they heard this, and they gave the house back?What good is it to give them a house after giving them food, drink and wages?

    They were gathered together today. They thought it was because of the fight at noon. Luo Zining wanted to criticize those people in public, but he didn't expect it to be a good thing to divide the house?

    They listened to Luo Zining's list with their ears pricked up, wanting to know who Luo Zining was going to distribute these houses to and whether he had himself.

    A young man who likes to work hard feels that this has nothing to do with him. Nothing good will happen to him in this life. Even if something good happens to happen to him, it will be snatched away by others. He is even a little distractedHe didn't realize that Luo Zining had pronounced his name until he was shaken a few times by the workers beside him.

    He was trembling with excitement, he couldn't walk anymore, and was pushed forward to accept the praise.

    Luo Zining called these 20 people plus Er Niu to the front, and then told everyone: "The first batch of 21 houses will be built and distributed to them. This is the first batch, but not the last."One batch, and then there will be a third batch, a fourth batch, and even a tenth batch. The end result is that everyone will have a house to live in. Not only that, but when you have children, the children can also work in the brick factory, and the children grow up.Let’s continue to divide the house.”

    When he said this, the people below started cheering. Some people still want to save money to build a house, but the cost of building a house is not low, and it can be saved for a few more years, but the biggest problem is that there is no one to build a house.Land, buying land is several times more expensive than building a house.

    It's all right now, I don't have to worry about those things anymore, work hard, and sooner or later I will be able to allocate a house to myself.

    Immediately afterwards, Luo Zining said: "There was a very bad fight today. I have already set a penalty for them, one month's wages.Whether they have a share in their house or not depends on their performance, they perform better than others, and they also have a chance, so you can’t just make a mistake and beat this person to death.”

    Recently, there have been a lot of people secretly taking wine to the cafeteria to drink. After hearing this, they were scared for a while. Fortunately, they didn’t fight. One month’s salary is a trivial matter, but getting fired is a major event, and the quota of housing allocation is even more important.Big deal!

    "In the future, we will set the rules. You are not allowed to drink in the brick factory. Once you see them, you will be fined one day's wages. Those who fight will be punished like them. If the situation is too serious, you will be fired directly or sent to the government." Luo Zining said.When they were sent to the government, their faces turned pale. It would be better to be sent to the government than to be beheaded by the prince.

    Cutting off the head is a one-hundredth, and there is no need to be blood-sucked by the magistrate.

    They hurriedly stated that they dare not fight, not to mention not drinking in the brick factory, even when they go home.

    Luo Zining said with a smile: "Drink as much as you want at home during the break time, just don't play alcohol like crazy and hit people, otherwise, who will sell Boss Cheng's wine to?"

    The people below laughed along with Luo Zining in embarrassment, and then they didn't dare to say anything. They remembered one thing, they were not bullied by the magistrate, it was not because they entered the brick factory of the palace,If he was fired, wouldn't he go back to the hard days of being bullied by the magistrate?

    They blame themselves for being confused after a few good days, and they will never drink or fight in the brick factory in the future!

    Luo Zining finally announced one thing, saying that he would set up a security office, choose 20 people as security guards, and usually be responsible for patrolling, on the one hand, to see that they don't fight, and on the other hand, to prevent outsiders from bullying them or stealing things, Let Er Niu be the captain of the security team.

    Er Niu has been working as an assistant for Chen Er during this time, doing errands and chores, and when he heard that he can also be a manager and manage a few people, he was not to mention how happy he was, and immediately said that he would choose people well, Absolutely lived up to the expectations of the princess.

    Luo Zining said that if he worked as a security guard, he would lose his salary, but he would give them a raise to balance it out, otherwise no one would want to do this.

    Afterwards, he told everyone to build a guard at the door, and someone must watch inside, and when outsiders come in to register, they also need to watch that the people inside do not steal things and take them out.

    After Luo Zining said this, he felt like his throat was about to smoke. No wonder the leaders always bring a big tea mug to the meeting. He will also have to bring a big tea mug to the meeting in the future, and drink while talking.

    Luo Zining wanted everyone to adjourn the meeting and go back to work. After looking at the twenty outstanding employees, another thing came to mind, "You will be the group leaders in the future, and let Chen Er arrange what you will take care of in the future, and your salary will be doubled."

    Those people thought that allocating the house would be good enough, but they didn't expect to get a raise in wages, so they immediately wanted to kneel down to Luo Zining.

    Luo Zining asked them to stand up, "From now on, you can just stand when you talk to me, don't just kneel."

    Those people knew that Luo Zining didn't like others to kneel down to him, so they kept bowing to him, scaring Luo Zining away.

    During the meeting just now, Luo Zining asked Chen Er to take minutes of the meeting. After the meeting was over, he asked Chen Er to sort it out and send a copy to Boss Cheng, so that Boss Cheng could manage the employees in the same way in the future.

    Boss Cheng is the director of the winery, Luo Zining decides the major issues of the winery, and let Boss Cheng decide all the small things.

    The brick factory built a house, and the winery house also had to be built. He planned to make a plan, and the houses in the family area near the factory should be built beautifully and upright.

    When he first came to this city, he felt that the urban planning was too ugly. There were houses one by one, big and small, and it was not beautiful.

    Urban planning should lay a solid foundation from the very beginning of construction. Don't think that it will be demolished if it is unsightly and will affect the city's appearance.

    On the way back, Luo Zining had already imagined a beautiful city in his mind, and just thinking about it made him very happy.

    When he came home, he saw Huo Lingzhi sitting by the window looking out, and he was a little dissatisfied when he came back and said, "Did you send him out of the city? You only came back in a day? You two had a fierce quarrel a few days ago., quarreling and reconciling, I worry about you for no reason, my worry is a waste of energy."

    It was only then that Luo Zining remembered that Huo Lingzhi was afraid that he would be in a bad mood this morning, so he said that he would take Fang Ziye out for a stroll after seeing him off, but he forgot about it and went to the factory for a meeting.

    "My lord, don't get me wrong, I didn't send him off." Luo Zining told the story of what happened today.

    After hearing this, Huo Lingzhi's face was gloomy, "Everyone has turned against the sky, causing trouble under our noses, you are also soft-hearted, and you let them off so easily. If my soldiers would haveJust reward them with dozens of military battles and let them have a long memory."

    "But they are not your soldiers after all, they are just ordinary people. There is no need to be so strict. Too strict will easily overwhelm everyone. I punished them today, only fined money and some opportunities to share houses.Others will take it as a warning. If they beat and kill them again and again, others will be afraid. When someone did not make a mistake, they will think whether they will have such an experience one day.What's the point?" Luo Zining took off his cloak, drank a large cup of tea to quench his thirst, "Today's business is too annoying, so I won't mention it, I'll tell you something else."

    "What's the matter?" Huo Lingzhi saw his blushing face, "What's so interesting about you? Did you blackmail the magistrate again?"

    "No." Luo Zining was amused by him, "I rode out just now. It really is a good horse. I feel a lot more majestic when I ride it."

    Huo Lingzhi didn't expect him to be talking about this, so he asked him with a smile: "Is there any prestige when you ride a horse when you win the first prize?"

    Luo Zining: "..." What do you mean by that?Are you going to test me again?

    He got up angrily: "Did my husband tease me again by pretending that I don't know how to ride a horse and deliberately asking you to teach me how to ride a horse? If you say such things, I will ignore you!"

    After he finished speaking, he turned around and changed his clothes immediately. He really ignored him. He even pretended not to hear Huo Lingzhi explaining to him.

    Huo Lingzhi: "..." Why did this king make the princess angry again? I'm so tired.

    In the evening, Zhao Xiaoyu cooked several dishes, saying that she knew that the princess must be tired after going out today, so she should eat more to make up for it.

    Luo Zining couldn't help squinting his eyes when he ate delicious food. Since Zhao Xiaoyu only cooked for him and Huo Lingzhi, he paid more attention to the quality of cooking, and he even thought about setting a plate.

    "I really hope that Zhao Xiaoyu will stay by my side for the rest of my life." Luo Zining couldn't help but sigh.

    Huo Lingzhi knew that Luo Zining meant to eat, but the moment he heard this, he turned to look at Luo Zining.

    Luo Zining's back felt cold after being watched, Huo Lingzhi wouldn't be jealous, right?In order to prevent Huo Lingzhi from questioning him, he wanted to strike first and make a hardcover, "What are you looking at? I haven't forgiven you yet, hmph."

    Huo Lingzhi: "?"

    After eating, Huo Lingzhi thought that Luo Zining would go to sleep directly with his back turned to him like he did when he was angry in the past.

    But today Luo Zining lit the candlesticks, spread the paper, and began to light up the lamp to paint.

    Huo Lingzhi had heard that he could draw, so he was curious about what he drew, so he turned his wheelchair to him and took a look, only to realize that the things on the paper were not what he had seen before.

    "What is this?" Huo Lingzhi asked him.

    "This is a basketball court." While eating, Luo Zining was thinking about whether it is necessary to bring some entertainment to the brick factory, to add some fun to their boring life, and to save their excess energy from having nowhere to vent to fight.

    "Are you finally willing to take care of me?" Huo Lingzhi's tone was somewhat resentful.

    Luo Zining: "??? I was so happy that I forgot."

    Huo Lingzhi: "...What is a basketball court for?"

    "It's a game competition, just like cuju, but cuju is played with feet, and this basketball is played with hands, and it also requires a lot of people to play in teams of two." Luo Zining explained to him, "I'm going to get some basketballs for the factoryIf you have nothing to do, hold a basketball game or something."

    "They fought and made trouble today, and you not only punished them lightly, but also rewarded them? Don't blame me for not reminding you, you won't be able to suppress them in the future." Huo Lingzhi said.

    "Wouldn't they stop fighting if there were entertainment activities? I even set up a security team to watch over them. They didn't dare to fight anymore. And they couldn't just suppress them, or they would be out of breath." Luo Zining thought of one thingQuestion: "Do you still remember what I told you about fishing law enforcement before? I told you not to let them go whoring, but none of them really went there, which shows that they are still very obedient. Today's incident is an accidental incident.", They will have more entertainment activities in the future, and no one will just drink to vent their emotions."

    When Luo Zining mentioned this, he thought of his textile factory. The textile factory should also have entertainment activities. The textile factory is different from the brick factory winery, the difference lies in the lack of space.

    There is unowned wasteland near the textile factory and the winery. The unowned land is the land of the prince. He wants to build whatever he wants, but the houses near the textile factory are all owned. There is really no place for him to toss about.He said a few days ago that building a bigger house for them to work in has already used up all the space, let alone a basketball court.

    However, it is also possible to put two table tennis tables in the yard. When have time in the future, will find a piece of land and build a textile factory again.

    In the future, we will build a big stadium with football fields, running, basketball, table tennis, badminton and other competition venues. If there is nothing to do, we will hold a joint sports meeting with several factories, and it will be lively.

    He used to go to school, and the school held sports games, art festivals, and basketball games from time to time, and now he can also hold these when he runs a factory.

    But that's a long way off. This year, he definitely doesn't have the time and manpower to do it. He still has a major task to do to repair the palace, and the rest of the major projects have to be pushed back.

    He hasn't eaten barbecue for a long time, and he wants to finish the task quickly and get some cumin from the seasoning area on the second floor.
