Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

After Bai Feng settled Ma Jun, Pu Yuan, and the twenty craftsmen who came from Yecheng together in the R\u0026D center, he returned to the mansion.

In the study, Bai Feng began to write a letter to Cao Cao, explaining that Ma Jun, Pu Yuan and others had been arranged.

"It will take at least a year and a half until Ma Jun, Pu Yuan and these twenty craftsmen can truly master the technology of making steam trains."

"It should be able to help me build two more steam trains."

Bai Feng thought in his mind after giving the written letter to the postman to send to Yecheng.

Regarding the manufacturing technology of steam trains, Bai Feng now believes that after Cao Cao masters it, it will be extremely beneficial to the development of industrialization.

It's just that when Cao Cao can build a steam train in Yecheng, Bai Feng will start building steam ships and fire cannons here.

“We must maintain the lead in a big version!”

This is Bai Feng's bottom line.

If he wants to promote the development of industrialization in the Wei Dynasty, Bai Feng must always lead from the front.

Then Bai Feng put aside the matter about the steam train.

He was going to take care of the situation in Cao Jie's soap workshop.

At this time, Cao Jie was discussing with Liuli, Diao Chan and the other girls about the construction of soap workshops in Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

Naturally, Cao Jie could not ignore the enthusiasm of Yecheng nobles for the soap workshop to develop again.

Under the careful management of shopkeeper Chen, the soap shops and soap workshops in Yecheng have brought huge profits to Bai Feng and the nobles in Yecheng.

At this time, those nobles in Yecheng who had not received Cao Jie's invitation to invest in the soap workshop were now trying their best to get a stake in the soap workshop.

"We don't need to worry about the craftsmen. The nobles will be willing to provide us with a sufficient number of craftsmen."

"So the problem before us now is to select locations for soap workshops and soap shops in Qingzhou and Xuzhou."

Cao Jie said to Liuli and Diaochan.

"Madam, why don't you leave the location selection to me?"

Zhang Qiying said to Cao Jie after hearing this.

She has a restless personality and is very interested in building a soap workshop in Qingzhou or Xuzhou.

Cao Jie looked happy when he heard this.

It is indeed a bit uneasy not to send one of my own family members.

After all, the income of every soap workshop now is more than ten thousand taels of silver a year.

This is not a small amount, otherwise the nobles would not be so eager to invest in the soap workshop.

"Okay, then Qiying will be responsible for the location selection of soap workshops and soap shops in Qingzhou!"

Then Cao Jie smiled at Zhang Qiying.

She doesn't have to worry about Zhang Qiying's safety at all, let alone the nobles in Yecheng or Qingzhou who won't cooperate with Zhang Qiying's work.

After all, with Bai Feng behind them, the soap workshop was making money every day.

"Um!"

Zhang Qiying had no objection to Cao Jie's arrangement.

"After the soap workshops and shops in Qingzhou are completed, Qiying will go to Xuzhou again."

"Liu Li, Diao Chan and Wen Ji will also accompany Qi Ying when the time comes."

"You've always been by my side, it's time to go out and be on your own."

Then Cao Jie smiled at them.

Liuli, Diaochan and Cai Wenji all nodded after hearing this.

The development and growth of the soap workshop has also increased their confidence.

After Cao Jie made the arrangements, Bai Feng arrived just in time.

"It's so lively, what are you talking about?"

Cao Cao, who came to the garden, smiled at Cao Jie and the others and asked.

"Husband, we are talking about the soap workshops in Qingzhou and Xuzhou."

Then Cao Jie briefly told Bai Feng her next arrangements.

"I see, the arrangement is good, but it's going to be hard on Qiying and you, hahaha!"

After hearing this, Bai Feng nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

The soap workshop is under Cao Jie's management, and Bai Feng doesn't need to worry about it now.

Even if Bai Feng were to manage the soap workshop himself, he wouldn't be much better than he is now.

Maybe it would be better if Bai Feng came forward directly than if Cao Jie came forward.

After all, the relationship between Cao Cao and Bai Feng has dropped to a freezing point in recent years. The nobles like money, but they are even more reluctant to give up their official positions and will not do business with Bai Feng easily.

"Husband, although the soap workshops and shops are developing very well, shopkeeper Chen's previous letter said that some bad signs have been discovered."

At this time, Cao Jie thought of what shopkeeper Chen mentioned in the letter, and now he wanted to discuss it with Bai Feng.

Bai Feng felt a little strange when he heard this.

But now Shopkeeper Chen's letters about the soap workshop are sent directly to Cao Jie, and Bai Feng no longer interferes.

"What bad signs did Shopkeeper Chen find? Jie'er will tell you."

So Bai Feng asked Cao Jie.

"Husband, it's like this"

Then Cao Jie started to tell Bai Feng.

The reason was that shopkeeper Chen accidentally discovered that a new variety of soap suddenly appeared on the market.

It's just that this variety is not as good as the soap produced by the soap workshop in terms of workmanship and materials.

So shopkeeper Chen just thought that this was a soap that was copied privately by that small workshop, and it had no big impact on the soap workshop.

However, based on the principle of caution, shopkeeper Chen still wrote a letter to inform Cao Jie about this matter, and also mentioned it to the nobles in Yecheng a little bit.

With Shopkeeper Chen's energy in Yecheng, it is natural that he cannot put an end to small workshops that make profits by imitating soap.

However, the Yecheng gentry had deep roots and intricate relationships in the local area, so it was easy to solve a few small workshops.

After shopkeeper Chen finished speaking, the nobles had promised that no one else would be able to affect the interests of the soap workshop, especially a small workshop like that.

After a period of time, shopkeeper Chen found out that he had never seen soaps imitated by small workshops on the market.

But one time while drinking with Shopkeeper Zhao, Shopkeeper Chen heard from Shopkeeper Zhao that there were soaps produced by small workshops in Qingzhou.

So shopkeeper Chen wrote a letter to report the news to Cao Jie.

After Bai Feng listened to Cao Jie's story, his heart moved.

"It's inevitable that people will imitate soap."

"After all, the profits from soap are there. Even if we have launched cheaper and more practical soaps, we cannot stop imitation soap vendors from making profits."

"However, Shopkeeper Chen's news is indeed of great significance, because we must know whether these imitation soaps are small traders who want to make money to support their families, or are the nobles behind them!"

When Bai Feng said this, not only Cao Jie, but also Zhang Qiying, Diao Chan and Cai Wenji's faces became serious.
