Mingjiang Prefecture Office, Prefecture Chief's Office,
Chief Zheng Lin and Deputy Chief Xu Zhigong were reviewing a draft for the construction of the dock.
"Chief, for the location of the new dock, we'll stick with the old plan. As for its name, let's call it 'Dock Twenty-One.'"
"Alright, follow the usual conventions. A simple name is easier to accept among the common folks. It'll spread quickly among cart drivers and tram operators—easy to remember.
By the way, during the last meeting, the Transportation Bureau mentioned that the dock construction needs to follow the old rituals and employ living human piles. Has this been arranged?" Zheng Lin asked.
"I spoke with the City God Temple's representative. He said they'll handle the living pile ritual, but we need to provide the materials."
"Materials? Just pick ten death-row prisoners, that'll do. Mingjiang Prison is full of them these days," Zheng Lin replied nonchalantly.
