The Governor’s residence was bustling with noise as Xiao Ming returned.
Many commoners and merchants stopped to watch, their faces lighting up with excitement upon learning that the Prince of Qi had come back to Qingzhou.
Everything they had now was given to them by Xiao Ming, so naturally, they hoped he would stay in Qingzhou to continue providing them protection and convenience.
“What joyous news?”
Back in Chang’an, Fei Ji’s “four great threats” had weighed heavily on Xiao Ming. Aside from the barbarians, there were also two troublesome neighbors along the coast. It seemed he was truly beset by misfortunes. Now, any good news was crucial to him.
“Zhang Liang came yesterday to report that the first galleon is nearly complete. He asked when Your Highness would return—little did he expect you’d arrive today.”
“The galleon is almost finished?” Xiao Ming exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes.”
Pang Yukun replied. He didn’t have much of a reaction to the galleon, but seeing Xiao Ming so excited, he knew it must be important.
“Hahaha… Wonderful! Zhang Liang promised to deliver three galleons by the end of the year. After all these months, we’re finally seeing progress!” Xiao Ming said.
His excitement wasn’t just because the galleon would enable long-distance voyages—it was because its completion meant Qingzhou now had the capability to build galleons.
