Chapter 143: A Failed Scheme
After Qingming, the drizzle kept falling, and the streets and alleys of Qingzhou were muddy everywhere. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Ming has been running around for the past few days, but he is really fed up with the days when his feet are full of mud, he thinks that if he can keep Cangzhou, he must build a few cement avenues through Qingzhou, and rectify the drainage in Qingzhou.
After all, this infrastructure construction is also one of the necessary projects for the construction of the fiefdom, and the creation of a favorable living environment can also attract merchants from the Great Chongqing Kingdom to settle in Qingzhou.
At that time, if you sell the land again, hehe, the legendary land finance will come.
However, when it rains, it is always boring, and the equipment department forged Luo Xin's plate armor again, so he sent someone to ask Luo Xin to come over, and asked Luo Xin some things by the way.
"Your Highness, the plate armor is in place so quickly?"
This plate armor is naturally to appease Luo Xin.
He asked the steel mill to customize a set of general plate armor for Luo Xin, which is different from the plate armor worn by ordinary soldiers, and the general plate armor is not only beautiful, but also thicker.
Not to mention that Lu Fei's strength is very large, this Luo Xin's strength is also enough to wear this set of thickened plate armor.
"Put it on?" Xiao Ming leaned back in his chair and said.
Two of the four friends who had lost their lives died, and now the remaining Qin Mu and Wei Qing were also so frightened that they didn't dare to speak in front of him.
For a while, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.
However, this Luo Xin came from Chang'an, and he would not be too restrained in front of him like others, after all, the relationship between the ministers of the Great Yu State was still very harmonious.
It has been more than ten days since the last Qingzhou Army, and although the relationship between Luo Xin and Lu Fei is not as harmonious as it was at the beginning, it has also been relatively relaxed.
And one of his poems also made Luo Xin's attitude towards him change a little, but he visited him in the palace from time to time.
After all, Luo Xin arrived in Qingzhou alone, and he was unacquainted, and Xiao Ming finally got acquainted.
These days, Luo Xin is very envious of the plate armor that Lu Fei wears in the army, especially the quality of this plate armor, he is very surprised, because in his opinion, the level of Qingzhou forging swords is even much higher than that of Chang'an's Instrument Division.
He had never eaten pork, and he had seen pigs run away, so he had naturally seen how the soldiers wore plate armor in the army, and he wore the plate armor in a good way.
Suddenly, a man in full steel armor stood in front of Xiao Ming.
"Not bad." Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction, this armor is worthy of being customized.
In fact, the plate armor on each soldier is almost custom-made, otherwise there will be a situation where it cannot be worn, and this is also a disadvantage of plate armor production.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Luo Xin happily looked at the plate armor on his body, this was the happiest place he had ever been in Qingzhou.
Putting on the plate armor, Luo Xin turned around and was about to leave.
Xiao Ming immediately stopped Luo Xin, "Where are you going?" ”
"Let's try to find Lu Fei again, hmph, this time the newspapers have been passed to Chang'an, I Luo Xin has not been so embarrassed, I must clean him up." Luo Xin was very angry when he thought about it.
Xiao Ming was helpless for a while, he didn't expect that because of a poem, this newspaper would go to Chang'an, and in the next seven days, he not only received a letter from Concubine Zhen, but also got the will to send Niu Ben to Qingzhou, and the court played Fiji, and the court also gave Qingzhou two million stone grain, five thousand silk cloth, and two hundred thousand taels of silver.
This surprised him, and the damage to production caused by this ancient march and war was very serious.
Not to mention that soldiers can't produce food, this requisition of people to transport grain and grass also makes it impossible for these to produce food, Xiao Wenxuan gave him so much food, and it can also ease Qingzhou's food problem a little.
After all, Qingzhou is still in a food crisis, and when it is not available, it is the most difficult, and when this season's grain is harvested, it is estimated that it will be better.
"Fight again? You are not afraid that this newspaper will be transmitted to Chang'an again, if you lose, you will still lose face, and if you win, you will lose the face of General Luo Quan. ”
"Why are you still embarrassed if you win?" Luo Xin's head was in the armor, and his speech was a little blurred.
Xiao Ming sneered: "General Luo has always been strict with the army, as a captain, not only do you not set an example for the soldiers, but also take the lead in fighting, what do you look like?" ”
Luo Xin thought about it, it seemed to be such a reason, but the matter of being cleaned up by Lu Fei's eight punches made him always have a belly of fire, and he couldn't help slamming the table, "This can't be, that can't be, Your Highness, you are just eccentric." ”
"How can this king be partial? Now there is something to cheapen you, I just received the order, my father will send General Niu Ben to Qingzhou to serve hard labor, this matter will be left to you. ”
"General Niu Ben?" Luo Xin couldn't believe his ears.
This is a figure worthy of his father, and he is proficient in the art of war, even his father is inferior in this respect.
"It's General Niu Ben, since he has arrived in Qingzhou, let him serve hard labor in the Qingzhou army." Xiao Ming said lightly.
This Niu Ben was convicted for colliding with Xiao Wenxuan, and now Xiao Wenxuan sent him to Qingzhou to make it clear that Xiao Ming wanted Xiao Ming to find a way to make this Niu Ben use by the Qingzhou army.
It's just that this Niu Ben even dared to collide with Xiao Wenxuan, how could Xiao Ming, such a person, be easily subdued.
However, if this can really make Niu Ben available for his own use, the Qingzhou Army will really have an additional commander-level figure from now on, which is very beneficial to the development of the Qingzhou Army.
After all, Lu Fei is a thorn, with many advantages and disadvantages, Luo Xin may not be able to stay in Qingzhou, he is a temporary person.
Luo Xin naturally figured out this matter as soon as he thought about it, Xiao Wenxuan was giving Xiao Ming a gift.
It is impossible for this general of the main battle faction to be indifferent when he sees Cangzhou City being destroyed.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely take care of General Niu." Luo Xin arched his hand.
Xiao Ming nodded, explained when Luo Xin set off to pick up General Niu, and asked him to go back.
Xiao Ming accepted Xiao Wenxuan's kindness, but what he wanted was the crushing of the barbarians by artillery, and the generals that Qingzhou needed in the future were also generals who would command firearms troops to fight.
However, he thought that it would take a transition time from cold weapons to hot weapons, so he gave up.
As soon as Luo Xin walked on the front foot, Zhan Xingchang walked in on the back foot.
He said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, except for King Yong, who is willing to provide 100,000 stone of grain, the other vassal kings are all embarrassed to shirk their fiefs and are powerless to support. ”
When he said this, Zhan Xingchang was very ashamed, he was still full of confidence, but it was obvious that the shamelessness of these feudal kings with different surnames exceeded his expectations.
"It's right if you don't give it." Xiao Ming said: "I was just trying the attitude of these people, so it seems that these people really have bad intentions, it's okay, it's okay not to give it, the future soldiers of the province will have to remember their favors to this king." ”
Xiao Ming pretended to be profound, and he had already scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of King Zhao and others in his heart, and these bastards were too faceless to give him.
