Chapter 1383 Ending

The news that Youzhou governor Liu Yan resigned and was preparing to return home soon spread throughout Yecheng.

The nobles and officials who were paying attention to the commercial war between Youzhou and Hanzhong understood that this contest ended with the complete defeat of the Youzhou nobles.

Bai Feng soon learned the news.

Bai Feng was not surprised by this result.

If Liu Yan and the Youzhou nobles could turn defeat into victory after Bai Feng used the steam engine, it would be beyond his expectation.

Bai Feng also learned from Cao Jie that the Yizhou steam engine production line had started.

Bai Feng was very satisfied with the construction of the steam engine workshop and the efficiency of craftsman training.

Cao Jie, who returned to Hanzhong from Yizhou, decided to take a break for a while and then go to other states and counties to build soap workshops and steam engine workshops.

Bai Feng also supported this, and he would provide Cao Jie with more manpower next time so that she would not have to work so hard.

Time soon arrived at the New Year.

The entire Hanzhong city was already decorated with lights and colors.

People were picking out goods for the New Year and new clothes on the street.

Children were holding all kinds of snacks in their hands and playing happily on the street.

Children are always the happiest during the New Year.

The Marquis' Mansion in Hanzhong was also decorated with lights and colorful decorations.

Under the arrangement of Cao Jie and Liuli, the whole mansion was full of joy.

Although Bai Feng did not participate in person, he was also very happy about the New Year atmosphere.

Unlike the New Year he had spent before, every New Year in Hanzhong can make Bai Feng feel the strong New Year atmosphere.

In order to celebrate the achievements of the steam engine workshop and the soap workshop this year, Bai Feng decided to make this New Year more lively.

So a week before the New Year, Bai Feng came to the explosives manufacturing workshop.

Under Bai Feng's instructions, Wei Boyang and others were interested in making the fireworks described by Bai Feng.

It didn't take too long. After several experiments, the fireworks bloomed in the open space far away from the explosives workshop.

The original fireworks were invented in the Tang Dynasty, and began to flourish in the Song Dynasty, becoming a kind of entertainment activity for the people during the New Year.

Bai Feng showed the fireworks to Wei Boyang and others hundreds of years in advance.

Wei Boyang and others, who saw the fireworks for the first time, were excited by the gorgeous flames in the night sky.

Because there was not much time to make them, only more than 100 fireworks were made this time.

"It is not easy to let all the people in Hanzhong County see these fireworks alone."

When Bai Feng brought this batch of fireworks back to the mansion, he was thinking in his heart whether there was any way to let the people of Hanzhong County have the opportunity to enjoy the fireworks.

Wei Boyang and others who had completed the fireworks production also began to pack up their personal belongings and prepare to go home for the New Year.

Bai Feng thought about it and finally decided to use the steam train and place the fireworks on the steam train, so that the people of Hanzhong County could appreciate the charm of fireworks.

After returning to the mansion, Cao Jie smiled at Bai Feng:

"Husband, are you going to the R&D center? Now the craftsmen in the R&D center should be given a holiday."

"I just came back from the explosives manufacturing workshop. I have prepared a surprise for you this year!"

Bai Feng said to Cao Jie mysteriously.

"Surprise?"

Cao Jie began to look forward to it.

Compared to the bustle of Hanzhong, the gentry in Youzhou were not in such a good mood.

Although Liu Yan was ready to retire and return home, that is to say, this commercial war with Hanzhong has come to an end.

But the money invested by the gentry in the soap workshop by Youzhou was still a big loss overall.

Although there is still a chance to choose to invest in the Hanzhong soap workshop and steam engine workshop after the New Year, the gentry in Youzhou also understand that Bai Feng will not agree to their investment so easily.

Naturally, the people in Youzhou are not as interested in the New Year as the gentry, and everyone is actively preparing New Year goods.

The Xianbei people also came to Youzhou to purchase.

The Xianbei tribesmen are now very satisfied with their current lives.

They have enough food and clothes, and they don't have to worry about these even in winter.

The trade between Youzhou and Xianbei has not only greatly promoted the economy of Youzhou, but also gradually reflected its influence on the Xianbei people.

More and more Xianbei people are beginning to yearn for the lives of the people of Youzhou.

Time gradually came to New Year's Eve.

In the expectation of Cao Jie and Liuli and others, Bai Feng finally took out the surprise he had prepared before, that is, fireworks.

At the same time, a steam locomotive was also ready outside Hanzhong City.

"Jie'er, get on the train, I'll take you to set off fireworks!"

Bai Feng waved to Cao Jie.

Cao Jie boarded the train after hearing this, and Liuli, Zhang Ning and others also boarded the train.

The train carriages have been rearranged by Bai Feng.

And the carriages are also used as steam train carriages prepared as gifts for Cao Pi, which are more comfortable to ride.

"Let's go!"

The bright moon rises in the sky, and under the control of Bai Feng, the steam locomotive starts slowly.

In the back carriage, Liuli, Zhang Qiying and others were enjoying snacks while waiting for the fireworks to be set off.

After they boarded the steam train, Bai Feng had already told them how to set off the fireworks placed at the connection between the carriages.

After the steam train entered Hanzhong City, Liuli was the first to light the fuse of the fireworks.

Then a small red fireball roared into the night sky.

"Bang!"

After the small fireball reached its peak, it exploded into fireworks all over the sky.

Liuli and others were looking up at the night sky, and the gorgeous fireworks were reflected in their crystal eyes.

"It's so beautiful!"

They thought at the same time.

Cao Jie, who was enjoying the fireworks with Bai Feng, was leaning in Bai Feng's arms and looking at the fireworks in the night sky, smiling and saying:

"Husband, this surprise is so beautiful, I like it so much!"

The people in the city who heard the sound of the steam train and the people who were still on the train also saw the fireworks in the night sky.

After the first firework was set off by Liuli, Zhang Qiying lit the second one, and then Diao Chan lit the third one.

In the eyes of the people in Hanzhong City, one after another gorgeous fireworks continued to bloom in the night sky.

As the steam train continued to move forward, the people in other cities of Hanzhong County also enjoyed the beautiful fireworks.

"Tomorrow is the new year. What is your wish, Jieer?"

Bai Feng hugged Cao Jie and whispered in her ear.

"Well, I hope to have a child with my husband, and I also hope that Hanzhong will develop better and better, and the whole Wei Kingdom will be peaceful and prosperous!"

Cao Jie looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said gently to Bai Feng.
