Chapter 1379 Change Is Imminent

In the study, after Bai Feng told Cao Jie about the latest plan, Cao Jie smiled very happily.

As early as the establishment of the soap workshop, Bai Feng mentioned to Cao Jie that soap should be brought into thousands of households.

After Cao Jie's unremitting efforts, soap has now become an indispensable daily necessity for the nobles of Dawei.

But there is still a long way to go before it can be brought into thousands of households.

Now the linkage model of steam engine workshop and soap workshop proposed by Bai Feng will truly bring soap into thousands of households and become a reality in the near future.

"Regarding the simultaneous construction of soap workshop and steam engine workshop, I will leave it to you, Jie'er."

Then Bai Feng smiled at Cao Jie.

In the construction of the steam engine workshop, Bai Feng will send two craftsmen from the R&D center to Cao Jie.

"Okay!"

Cao Jie nodded and agreed very straightforwardly.

Whether it is the soap workshop or the steam engine workshop, it will have a significant impact on the lives of the people of Dawei in the future.

Cao Jie was also happy to see this good change, and he would not refuse to personally promote it.

Then Bai Feng began to write a letter to Cao Cao.

Mainly, he needed Cao Cao's support in taxation.

In exchange, Bai Feng directly gave part of his shares to Cao Cao.

After writing the letter, Bai Feng sent someone to deliver it directly to Yecheng.

Before receiving Cao Cao's reply, Bai Feng and Cao Jie arranged manpower together to prepare for the construction of the steam engine workshop and soap workshop.

Yecheng, the palace.

After reading Bai Feng's letter, Cao Cao praised Bai Feng's arrangement.

At this time, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu were also in the palace.

"After the move of Hanzhong Hou was used, whether it was the gentry in Youzhou or the gentry in other states, they couldn't help but invest in the steam engine workshop, hahaha!"

Cao Cao, who originally planned to mediate and balance the interests between the gentry and Bai Feng, was happy to stand by and watch after seeing that Bai Feng had a better solution.

Especially when Cao Cao was also a beneficiary of this incident, he was even more happy to watch what happened next.

After reading Bai Feng's letter, Xun Yu, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu were also looking forward to it.

The emergence of steam engines and the subsequent impact of steam looms on the cloth industry, Xun Yu and others are very clear.

With the increase in the number of steam looms in Yecheng, the price of cloth is also in a state of continuous decline.

After all, the cost of labor has been reduced too much, and the production efficiency of cloth has been greatly improved.

This is definitely a good thing for the people of Yecheng.

Xun Yu, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu now make new clothes for the servants in their mansion every year.

And it is now rare to see ragged people on the streets of Yecheng.

"Your Majesty, the significance of building this steam engine workshop is much greater than that of the soap workshop."

"People's livelihood is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"The emergence of the steam loom allows everyone to have new clothes to wear, which is really a great thing!"

Xun Yu said to Cao Cao with great emotion.

He still remembers what the people were like during the years of endless wars.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would believe that the people of Yecheng used to be numb, unkempt and ragged.

After the Wei Dynasty unified the world, after more than ten years, life has changed dramatically.

It's like a new group of people.

Cheng Yu and Jia Xu nodded when they heard it.

The emergence of the steam loom not only made the people feel the real benefits, but also made Yecheng and the surrounding cloth merchants make a lot of money.

As a result, Yecheng's tax revenue this year has increased significantly.

More prosperous business is a good thing for the court.

And with the high-quality grains that Bai Feng had provided, there was no need to worry too much about the grain problem.

"Hanzhong Hou has now solved two of the four aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. When the steam train really runs all over the Wei Dynasty, there will only be one problem left, housing, hahaha!"

Then Cheng Yu also laughed.

Last month, Bai Feng wrote to Cao Pi, saying that he would send him a steam train as a thank-you gift. Now it is almost the New Year, and in more than a month, the steam train will be able to be manufactured and transported to Yecheng.

When Cao Cao heard Cheng Yu mention the steam train, he was also looking forward to the day when the steam train was delivered to Yecheng.

Because the winter weather was too cold and the land was frozen, Cao Cao's previous plan to build a circle of railways outside the palace had not yet started.

"Zhongde is right. Hanzhong Hou has indeed made a lot of efforts to improve the people's livelihood."

"This time, the actions of the Youzhou gentry did make Hanzhong Hou a little unhappy."

"This steam engine workshop and soap workshop were jointly built to deal with the Youzhou gentry."

Cao Cao nodded when he heard the words.

In Cao Cao's view, after Bai Feng used the powerful weapon of steam engine, the Youzhou nobles should not be able to take the initiative again this time.

"Your Majesty, this steam engine can be made into a steam locomotive in the hands of Hanzhong Hou, which shows that it still has great potential to be explored."

Jia Xu then said to Cao Cao.

Whether it is a steam loom or a steam locomotive, the efficiency improvement results brought by it are obvious to all.

Therefore, the court also plans to conduct in-depth research on steam engines.

"Well, it is estimated that in another year, Ma Jun and Geng Zhuzhu will be able to return from Hanzhong."

"By then, whether it is a steam engine or a steam train, the imperial court will also be able to manufacture it!"

Cao Cao heard this and said to Jia Xu, feeling full of confidence.

When all counties and counties in the Wei Dynasty can be built and connected by railways, the entire imperial court's ability to control local areas will be improved again.

This level of improvement is unmatched by all the previous ones combined.

Cao Cao then directly agreed to Bai Feng's request. Not only did he choose to reduce the tax for the steam workshop for one year, he also wrote back to Bai Feng saying that if craftsmen were needed, he would be the supervisor and could provide a certain level of support.

After Bai Feng received Cao Cao's reply, he sent it directly to Cao Jie for review.

At the same time, the manpower preparations on the Hanzhong side are basically completed.

"Jie'er, next we have to prepare to appreciate the performance of the Youzhou nobles, as well as the Liangzhou and Yongzhou nobles."

Bai Feng said happily to Cao Jie.

Under the temptation of investing in a steam engine workshop, coupled with a one-year tax exemption on the sale of steam engines, Bai Feng believed that no nobleman could resist this temptation.

Because as long as you successfully invest in the steam engine workshop, it means that you will definitely make money in the next year!

Cao Jie naturally understood what Bai Feng meant when he said this to him.

"Then please husband, please enjoy it!"
