Chapter 1290 This Really Can’t Be Sold

"Inspiration? What inspiration?" Bai Feng couldn't help but think in his heart.

How could a reason he made up to make a steam train inspire Xiahou Dun?

"This steam engine should be installed on everything that needs power!"

"Whether it is a loom, a carriage, or even a millstone, a well, etc., steam engines can be used as power!"

After listening to Bai Feng's story, Xiahou Dun suddenly felt that he had discovered a new world.

It seems that everything can be combined with a steam engine to produce wonderful changes.

After hearing Xiahou Dun's ideas, Bai Feng was shocked by his wild imagination.

"It's a pity that Xiahou Dun doesn't work in my R&D center."

Bai Feng couldn't help but think silently in his heart at this time.

After opening his mind, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but ask Bai Feng:

"Hanzhong Hou, if you think the steam train is not worth improving, can you give it to me?"

"???"

Bai Feng was stunned after hearing this. Why did he just talk about the application of steam engines, and now he suddenly wanted to buy a steam train from him?

Seeing that Bai Feng didn't answer directly, Xiahou Dun explained to Bai Feng why he wanted to buy a steam train.

"Hanzhong Hou, after seeing the production line you built this time, I also want to start studying the application of steam engines."

"It's just right that the craftsmen who supervise the work can be arranged."

"I think after this steam train is handed over to them to study it, the steam engine millstone, steam engine well, etc. that I just mentioned should be able to be realized this year!"

Bai Feng was even more speechless after hearing this.

After Xiahou Dun and himself visited the R&D center, did he awaken his mechanical talent?

Otherwise, why would he want to develop the use scenarios of steam engines himself!

Could it be that when Xiahou Dun visited the R&D center, he had already discovered his true intention of building a steam train?

Bai Feng then couldn't help but think of this reason.

Maybe Xiahou Dun is just looking for an excuse to bring the steam locomotive back to Yizhou, saying that he will present the steam locomotive to Cao Cao in the end!

Can't sell it, can't sell it anyway!

No matter what the reason is, no matter whether Xiahou Dun really wants to study the use scenarios of steam engines or is wary of the development of steam locomotives.

Bai Feng decided not to sell the steam locomotive to him anyway.

This is not a matter of money or hobbies, but a matter of the future development of Hanzhong and Wei!

"Hahaha, the general's previous words also gave me a lot of inspiration."

"And I believe the general is really interested in the application scenarios of steam engines and wants to study it himself."

"Just."

Xiahou Dun was very happy to hear Bai Feng recognize him. After hearing just, he knew that he wanted to buy a steam locomotive this time, it should be impossible.

"It's just that what I have to do now is the same as the general, trying my best to develop new application scenarios for steam engines."

"The steam train is an important attempt of mine. Although it seems to have failed at first, it has accumulated valuable experience for me."

"So unfortunately, I can't let it go, but I can promise the general that the new machinery using steam engines as power will be delivered to the general's mansion as soon as possible!"

After Bai Feng refused to sell the steam train to Xiahou Dun, in order to prevent Xiahou Dun from thinking too much, he finally promised Xiahou Dun.

It's true.

After listening to Bai Feng's explanation and promise, Xiahou Dun thought with disappointment in his heart.

He really wanted to buy the steam train back to study it.

Of course, the purpose is to develop new scenarios for the application of steam engines, but this new scenario is on the battlefield!

The first thought of Xiahou Dun when he saw the steam train was a siege vehicle!

If the front of the steam train is reinforced with steel and used as a siege vehicle, there should be no gate that can stop such a behemoth!

Moreover, ordinary means such as swords and knives can hardly harm steam trains made of steel.

What a pity.

"Hahaha, in this case, I will not take away the love of Hanzhong Hou."

"If Hanzhong Hou has new inventions in the future, please send them to my house as soon as possible, especially about steam engines."

Then Xiahou Dun smiled at Bai Feng, and the matter of buying a steam train was over.

Since Bai Feng did not sell him a steam train, Xiahou Dun planned to use the craftsmen of the General Works Supervisor to make steam siege armored vehicles himself!

Xiahou Dun did not know that his thinking had begun to move closer to the tanks of later generations.

After hearing this, Bai Feng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Xiahou Dun:

"Hahaha, please rest assured, General, I will never forget this matter."

If Bai Feng knew that Xiahou Dun's thinking had moved closer to tanks, I am afraid he would not even want to sell him steam engines.

After finishing the topic about steam trains, the two talked about the changes in Hanzhong over the years.

".Although the development of a city is mainly based on land, food, army and merchants, Hanzhong has developed so well in recent years. The Marquis of Hanzhong must have a unique way, right?"

After Xiahou Dun came to Hanzhong, he clearly noticed the changes in Hanzhong.

This is not only reflected in the expansion of the scale of Hanzhong city, but also in the mental outlook of the people in Hanzhong.

After hearing Xiahou Dun's question, Bai Feng couldn't help but smile at him:

"Just as the general said, if you want to govern a city well and make it prosperous and develop, none of these conditions can be missing."

"My unique way is relatively simple, that is to support merchants and develop the economy!"

"Support merchants and develop the economy"

After hearing this, Xiahou Dun repeated what Bai Feng said, the key to Hanzhong's rapid development in recent years.

At the beginning of the unification, in order to restore people's livelihood faster, the Wei Dynasty strongly encouraged the people to reclaim wasteland and reduce taxes.

In recent years, the living standards of the people have been significantly improved, and the corresponding economy has recovered, and business has begun to develop again.

However, in Xiahou Dun's view, attaching importance to commercial development still has some hidden dangers for the agricultural-based Wei Dynasty.

After all, merchants do not produce, but can make a lot of money, which is not a good thing for the whole world.

Of course, Bai Feng did not explain to Xiahou Dun that the premise for him to vigorously promote the development of Hanzhong's business is that he has the ability to continuously improve Hanzhong's productivity.

Whether it is a steam loom or a steam train, it represents a more advanced productivity!
