Chapter 1263 Make up Your Mind  

Inside the palace, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Xun You and Cheng Yu explained some of the next political arrangements, and then returned to the Yangxin Palace.

In the past two days, Cao Jie has been busy with the soap workshop, so he only came to the Yangxin Palace to greet Cao Cao in the morning and evening, and had no time to chat with Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao no longer thought about how to prevent Bai Feng from having the opportunity to influence the appointment of the crown prince.

Because this is simply impossible.

So now Cao Cao acquiesced that after Bai Feng contacted Cao Pi through Cao Jie and Cao Zhi, he had already made a choice to support in his heart.

Before, Cao Cao hesitated about which son to appoint as the crown prince, mainly because of the problem of ability.

Now the problem facing Cao Cao has undergone important changes.

That is, in the future, Cao Pi or Cao Zhi, who among them can reasonably appoint Bai Feng and ensure that he will not be hollowed out of the imperial power by Bai Feng.

Bai Feng's age is really a great advantage.

If Bai Feng was like Xun Yu, Xun You or Cheng Yu now, Cao Cao would not only not worry about Bai Feng becoming a powerful official, but would also appoint Bai Feng as the prince's teacher to assist the prince in ascending the throne.

After all, after the prince ascended the throne, the old officials who followed Cao Cao to conquer the world would not have much time left.

"Alas"

Thinking of the age issue, Cao Cao, who came in and clearly felt that his body was not as good as before, could not help but sigh again.

Cao Cao, who was alone in the Yangxin Palace, finally decided on the candidate for the prince's position after careful consideration.

Bai Feng, who was still admiring various rare flowers in the imperial garden, did not know that Cao Cao had already decided on the candidate for the prince in order to reduce his influence on the enthronement of the prince.

"Well, this flower is really beautiful, I have to keep a whole plant at home."

Bai Feng stopped in front of a flower whose name he did not know, and thought at the same time in his heart.

So far, Bai Feng has lived in the palace for more than half a month, and he has seen almost all the rare and exotic plants in the imperial garden.

"Has Cao Cao not yet decided who to appoint as the crown prince?"

When thinking of the letter sent by Geng Zhuzi from the Hanzhong R&D Center, Bai Feng already wanted to go back to Hanzhong.

To ensure that the R&D center has enough iron ore, Bai Feng must not only extract the blueprints of high explosives, but also recruit craftsmen to mine and transport ore.

Finally, there must be enough blacksmiths to smelt iron ore.

"Maybe when extracting the formula of high explosives from the system, it would be nice to be able to extract the construction method of the blast furnace at the same time."

Bai Feng couldn't help thinking in his heart.

The efficiency of blast furnace ironmaking is much higher than the current smelting method.

Because the blast furnace ironmaking method appeared in the Song Dynasty, more than 700 years later than now.

The efficiency is naturally much higher.

And the blast furnace used for ironmaking is relatively easier to build.

"Wait until Jie'er finishes the soap workshop, regardless of whether Cao Cao has appointed the crown prince at that time, I will return to Hanzhong."

After leaving the Imperial Garden, Bai Feng set a deadline to leave Yecheng.

After Cao Zhi and Cao Pi invested in the soap workshop, they provided Cao Jie with 200 craftsmen in just one day.

At the same time, they also provided Cao Jie with 12 plots of land for her to choose a suitable location to build a soap workshop.

At this time, Cao Jie was selecting the suitable plots for building a soap production workshop from these plots and then preparing to start construction.

The three new soap workshops built before were not much time left for completion, but the training efficiency of the craftsmen for soap production was a bit low.

Building ten soap production workshops in Yecheng at once was indeed a bit stretched for Cao Jie in terms of craftsmen.

"Let's lay a good foundation first, and then take it slowly."

After taking Liuli and Zhang Qiying to look at all the plots of land, Cao Jie finally chose six of them as the locations for the next soap workshop.

As for the problem of craftsmen for soap production, Cao Jie really has no good solution now.

If the craftsmen in the only workshop that was producing soap were transferred out to train new craftsmen, then all the soap production workshops in Yecheng would become decorations within a period of time.

Although Cao Jie didn't mind, the nobles who had just invested in the soap workshop must have some thoughts and complaints in their hearts.

Weighing the pros and cons was still not so familiar to Cao Jie.

But compared to the beginning, Cao Jie had gradually reduced the practice of seeking Bai Feng's advice on everything.

She also grew up with the growth of the soap workshop.

After returning to the palace in the evening, Cao Jie and Bai Feng went to have dinner with Cao Cao.

Then Bai Feng cleared Cao Cao's meridians and conditioned his body again.

After five conditionings, Cao Cao clearly felt that his energy was much better when handling government affairs than when he had just recovered from a stroke and had not been conditioned by Bai Feng.

But Bai Feng didn't tell Cao Cao that no matter how much he conditioned his body, his energy would decline very quickly as he got older.

The stroke also greatly accelerated Cao Cao's physical aging.

And Bai Feng didn't have that much time to take care of Cao Cao's body alone.

If Cao Jie hadn't developed a soap workshop in Yecheng after arriving this time, Bai Feng would have returned to Hanzhong by now to help Geng Zhuzi solve the problem of insufficient steel in the R&D center.

After the two returned to the room, Cao Jie told Bai Feng about the land and craftsmen provided by Cao Zhi and Cao Pi.

"My husband, I found that my father's complexion is much better after the treatment."

"Now the soap workshop in Yecheng is about to go off track. During this period, Manager Chen has been constantly familiar with the gentry who have already invested."

"I think the future development of the soap workshop in Yecheng can be handed over to Manager Chen. I have laid a good foundation."

After talking about the soap workshop, Cao Jie said to Bai Feng again:

"The steel problem at the R&D center needs my husband to go back and solve it. We have been here for a long time. I wonder when my husband plans to return to Hanzhong?"

Now Cao Jie also wants to return to Hanzhong. In terms of life, it is more convenient to live in his own mansion.

Originally, Bai Feng wanted to wait for Cao Jie to deal with the soap workshop before returning to Hanzhong. Now he learned that Cao Jie had handed over the rest of the soap workshop to Manager Chen.

"Then the day after tomorrow, I will help His Majesty adjust his body again the day after tomorrow, and then we will go home together."

Bai Feng said to Cao Jie after thinking for a while.

Liuli and Zhang Qiying on the side also laughed happily when they heard this. They also missed home.
