Chapter 1355 Sending a Letter
Bai Feng decided to send Cao Pi a steam train as a gift for him to be crowned prince.
Cao Jie also strongly supported it.
So Bai Feng came to the R&D center and told Ma Jun and Pu Yuan the news.
"This third steam train, I decided to give it to His Highness Cao Pi."
"After the construction of the production line is completed, we will seize the time to start construction."
After Bai Feng finished speaking, Ma Jun and Pu Yuan both looked excited.
This is a great gift for Cao Pi, and a rare opportunity for Pu Yuan and Ma Jun.
After this steam train was delivered to Yecheng, it was mentioned by the way that Ma Jun and Pu Yuan participated in its manufacture.
Then Cao Pi will definitely extend an olive branch to the two of them!
Being able to make steam trains was considered a first-class talent in the Wei Dynasty.
Ma Jun and Pu Yuan took this opportunity to ride on Cao Pi's express train, and their status and status were greatly improved.
"Hanzhong Hou, we understand!"
Then Ma Jun and Pu Yuan said excitedly to Bai Feng.
"The construction progress of the production line is guaranteed to satisfy you!"
Bai Feng smiled and nodded after hearing this.
Then he found Geng Zhuzhu and told him about it.
"Now Hanzhong's development has entered the next critical period."
"This steam train is given to Cao Pi as a gift, which will give us more time for development."
"At the same time, I also want to promote railway construction through Cao Pi and His Majesty."
"In this way, steam trains can bring convenience to the lives of all people in Wei Dynasty in the future."
After listening to Bai Feng's explanation, Geng Zhuzhu kept nodding in agreement.
In the eyes of Geng Zhuzi, the main starting point of the R&D center established by Bai Feng, whether it was steam engines or steam trains, was to improve the lives of the people of Wei.
Therefore, Geng Zhuzi had no objections to Bai Feng's decision.
"The Hanzhong Emperor cares about the people of the world. This steam train has limited promotion effect for Hanzhong."
"If it is in the hands of His Majesty and His Highness Cao Pi, it can greatly promote the development of steam trains."
"The Marquis of Hanzhong is so far-sighted that I am really ashamed of myself!"
Geng Zhuzhu said to Bai Feng, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
When Bai Feng saw that Geng Zhuzhu had understood what he meant, he smiled at him and said:
"Hahaha, Mr. Geng, you created steam engines and steam trains for Hanzhong. When it comes to your contribution to the people of Wei, you are not inferior to me at all!"
Bai Feng knew very well how much energy he had to invest in transforming drawings into real objects, and how many repeated experiments he had to go through.
Otherwise, Plow Pillar wouldn't have made people lose weight by making steam trains.
Then Bai Feng learned about the manufacturing situation of the conveyor belt machine from Geng Zhuzhu.
In the past few days, Cuizhuzhu has been looking for materials that can be used as conveyor belts. So far, he has not found a very suitable material.
Regarding the construction of the steam train production line, most of it was left to Li Tiedan, Wang Gang, Pu Yuan and Ma Jun.
This is also to see how effective Pu Yuan and Ma Jun are in learning about steam train manufacturing.
"Although I haven't found suitable materials to make the conveyor belt yet, I already have a direction. Please give Hanzhong Hou some more time."
Finally, Geng Zhuzi said to Bai Feng.
When Bai Feng heard this, he naturally told Pengzhu that there was no problem with the time, as long as the conveyor belt machine could be put into use in the mine in the end.
After another discussion with Geng Zhuzi, Bai Feng left the R&D center and returned to his mansion.
"Husband, when can this steam train be built and sent to Yecheng?"
Cao Jie saw Bai Feng coming back and asked him with a smile.
Bai Feng heard this and replied:
"I have told Pu Yuan and Ma Jun the news today. After hearing it, they both said that they will do their best to build the third steam train as quickly as possible."
"It's just a good time to see how they are learning the manufacturing technology of steam trains while staying with Zhuzhu and the others during this period."
Then Bai Feng thought for a while and then said to Cao Jie:
"But I guess the production of this steam train will have to wait until tomorrow at least."
Even though the steam train production line is almost completed, the number of craftsmen has more than doubled.
But building a steam train still takes a lot of time.
It took more than half a year to build the first steam train in Hanzhong. Although the second train was used for a shorter time, it also took more than four months.
Cao Jie nodded upon hearing this.
Although she didn't know the complexity of manufacturing a steam train, she also knew that it would take a lot of time.
"Well, how about we tell Brother Zihuan this news first?"
Then Cao Jie said to Bai Feng.
It would be too long to wait another three to five months to send the steam train to Yecheng, let alone to congratulate Cao Pi on being crowned prince.
"sure."
Bai Feng nodded and said.
"Why don't you leave it to Jie'er to write to Zihuan and tell him the good news?"
Cao Jie is a solid link between Bai Feng, Cao Cao and others.
If it weren't for Cao Jie, Bai Feng would have started to resist with force long before Cao Cao began to doubt and suppress him.
"OK!"
Cao Jie smiled happily after hearing this.
"Then let Jie'er tell Brother Zihuan the good news."
Before, Cao Jie and Bai Feng, who transformed into Zhang Qiying, went to Yecheng to treat Cao Cao's stroke. They were the two received by Cao Pi.
During this period, Cao Jie was very dissatisfied with Cao Pi for hiding Cao Cao's actual condition from him, and Cao Pi also prevented Cao Jie from entering the palace to visit Cao Cao.
Fortunately, Bai Feng was there, and the final result can be regarded as a safe outcome.
Cao Jie's attitude towards Cao Pi also changed from then on.
So after hearing Bai Feng say that he would send Cao Pi a steam train as a gift for becoming the prince, Cao Jie was so surprised.
"This is also an opportunity to ease the relationship with Brother Zihuan."
"My husband will treat my father because of me, and I have to help my husband at this time!"
Cao Jie thought silently in her heart at this time.
She sent a letter to Cao Pi to ease the relationship with Cao Pi, and hoped to change her opinion of Bai Feng after Cao Pi ascended the throne.
However, Cao Jie didn't want to tell Bai Feng about these considerations. She felt that this was what she should do for Bai Feng.
Just like everything Bai Feng had done for her before.
Soon Cao Jie finished writing a letter to Cao Pi, and Bai Feng sent someone to deliver it to Yecheng as fast as possible.
