Chapter 1358 Chapter 1361 Breaking News

It's time for the court meeting again.

Since the crown prince was appointed, the transfer and promotion of officials in the court has also come to an end.

To put it simply, the officials who supported Cao Pi have all been promoted to a certain extent.

Although the promotion is not large, they are all key positions.

This is also the preparation made by Cao Cao for Cao Pi to directly pull up a set of ruling team of his own after he ascended the throne.

And it also left Cao Pi with room to continue to promote these people.

After Cao Zhi was named King of Chen, he had already set off for his fiefdom.

"Do you have anything else to discuss? If not, let's leave the court now."

The court meeting has been going on for a long time and is nearing its end.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Wu Zhi, one of Cao Pi's supporters, came to the center of the hall and bowed to Cao Cao and said:

"Your Majesty, I recently heard that Hanzhong County has begun to use steam locomotives as a tool for transporting ore."

"And this steam locomotive can not only be used to transport ore, but also transport food and soldiers."

"Such a national weapon, the court must also master it!"

After Wu Zhi finished speaking, other ministers also nodded.

Although these ministers did not know the specific details of the use of steam locomotives in Hanzhong, they had heard about the description of steam locomotives.

Cao Cao had read the detailed report on steam locomotives sent by Xiahou Dun.

No one in the court could beat Cao Cao in understanding steam locomotives.

"Well, Wu Aiqing is right."

"But you don't have to worry about this matter."

Cao Cao nodded and said to Wu Zhi.

"I have arranged for Ma Jun and Pu Yuan to take a group of craftsmen to Hanzhong to learn how to make steam locomotives."

All the ministers were stunned when they heard this.

They didn't expect Cao Cao to arrange so quickly, nor did they expect Bai Feng to agree to let someone come to learn the technology of making steam locomotives.

You know, even if there are places to sell steam engines in Yecheng, until now, steam engines are still in short supply in Yecheng.

Even steam engines have such a big profit.

Not to mention the steam locomotives with greater functions.

Did Bai Feng reach an agreement with Cao Cao, so he asked Cao Cao to send people to learn the manufacturing technology of steam locomotives?

At this time, some officials in the hall have begun to think about the reasons behind this matter.

Cao Cao saw the different expressions on the faces of the ministers, and then said again:

"I estimate that next year, the court can also start to manufacture steam locomotives."

"Such a national heavy weapon must naturally be in the hands of the court."

Then Cao Cao remembered that he wanted to buy a steam locomotive from Bai Feng before, but was rejected.

"If I can have a steam locomotive now, maybe relying on the skilled craftsmen in the world, I can make a steam locomotive in Yecheng this year."

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Cao Pi stepped forward and said:

"Father!"

"Hanzhong Hou wrote to me two days ago, saying that he wanted to give me a steam train as a gift."

"But I decided to present this steam train to you, father!"

After Cao Pi finished speaking, Cao Cao was delighted.

Just now, he was still regretting that he didn't have a steam train, but he didn't expect that his good son would prepare one for him.

The smile on Cao Cao's face was clearly seen by the ministers in the court.

Then they were puzzled as to why Bai Feng gave Cao Pi such a big gift.

Cao Cao was suspicious of Bai Feng and thought that Bai Feng's achievements were too great, so he had been suppressing Bai Feng.

In the matter of the prince's dispute, even if Bai Feng came to Yecheng, he did not go to Cao Pi or Cao Zhi's house for a banquet.

Not to mention coming out to support Cao Zhi or Cao Pi to become the prince.

Now he suddenly gave Cao Pi such a big gift, which made the ministers present guess in their hearts.

"Hahaha, since it is a gift from Hanzhong Hou to you, Zihuan, I naturally cannot take away someone's love."

"But I am indeed curious about the steam train. When the steam train is delivered to Yecheng, Zihuan, you can take me to see it, hahaha."

Then Cao Cao smiled at Cao Pi.

"Father, I remember it."

Cao Pi said loudly to Cao Cao.

Today's court meeting officially ended here.

Cao Cao finally kept Xun Yu.

"Wen Ruo, Bai Feng gave Zihuan a steam train, is he also trying to please the future emperor of Wei?"

Facing Xun Yu, Cao Cao couldn't help but asked with a smile.

To be honest, Cao Cao was still a little unhappy when he learned that Bai Feng gave Cao Pi a steam train.

After all, he didn't get a steam train from Bai Feng.

After hearing this, Xun Yu thought a lot in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's necessary to please."

"But Mr. Bai's move, I think it's more for your Majesty to see."

Xun Yu said it more directly.

But Cao Cao was not angry, because it was the truth.

If Bai Feng had not made him feel threatened and challenged, he would not have suppressed Bai Feng.

"For me to see?"

However, Cao Cao still did not understand Xun Yu's last sentence.

"That's right."

Xun Yu nodded upon hearing this.

"This steam train is given to His Highness Zihuan. I think it is Mr. Bai's recognition of the prince."

"Also, he hopes to ease the relationship with your Majesty."

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao could not help but nodded.

On the surface, Bai Feng gave Cao Pi a great gift.

But fundamentally, Cao Cao is still the emperor of Wei.

I, Bai Feng, gave your second son a gift to tell you that I have no objection to your second son becoming the future emperor of Wei, and I support him.

In the final analysis, it was a conversation between Bai Feng and Cao Cao.

"Hahaha, Wen Ruo still sees it clearly."

After thinking about this clearly, Cao Cao's unhappiness disappeared.

But steam trains alone are not enough, and railways must be built.

So Cao Cao planned to have a railway built outside the palace around the imperial city so that the steam locomotive could be put to good use.

After the court meeting, all the civil and military officials left the palace and began to think about Bai Feng giving Cao Pi a steam locomotive as a gift.

The meaning of this is huge.

It means that the reconciliation between Bai Feng and Cao Cao will bring great changes to the court of Wei.

If the steam locomotive is used in Yecheng, it also indicates that there will be huge benefits.
