Chapter 143: A Failed Scheme

After the Qingming Festival, a continuous drizzle turned the streets and alleys of Qingzhou into muddy quagmires.
Having spent these days traveling outside, Xiao Ming was thoroughly fed up with trudging through ankle-deep mud. He thought to himself that if they could hold Cangzhou, he would definitely build several cement roads crisscrossing Qingzhou upon his return, while also revamping the city’s drainage system.
After all, infrastructure was one of the essential projects for developing his fiefdom. Moreover, creating a superior living environment could attract merchants from across the Great Yu Empire to settle in Qingzhou.
By then, selling land—ah, the legendary land finance—would become a reality.
Rainy days were inevitably dull. With the Armaments Department having completed Luo Xin’s plate armor, Xiao Ming summoned him over, intending to ask him a few things while he was at it.
“Your Highness, the plate armor is ready so soon?”
This set of armor was naturally meant to placate Luo Xin.
He had the Ironworks specially craft a commander’s plate armor for Luo Xin. Unlike the standard-issue armor for soldiers, this set was not only more aesthetically pleasing but also thicker.
While Lu Fei was exceptionally strong, Luo Xin’s strength was more than sufficient to wear this reinforced armor.
“Want to try it on?” Xiao Ming leaned back in his chair.
Of his four former troublemaker friends, two were dead, while the remaining two—Qin Mu and Wei Qing—were now too terrified to speak freely in his presence.
