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

Just when the Youzhou nobles began to build a soap workshop, there were still a small number of nobles who believed that the consequences of arousing Bai Feng's anger would be very serious.

Giving up long-term future benefits for the sake of immediate benefits seems very irrational in the eyes of this small group of nobles.

After they do this, Bai Feng will lose all goodwill towards the nobles in Youzhou.

So this small group of nobles went to the prefect's mansion to persuade Liu Yan that the nobles who were building a soap workshop should not rush into production yet.

"Prefect, if you just let everyone build the soap workshop, how will you explain it to the Hanzhong Marquis in the future?"

After arriving at Liu Yan's residence, several nobles began to persuade Liu Yan.

"Yes, Prefect, you can never make enough money, so why are you in a hurry?"

"We will not suffer any loss if we invest in the soap factory. The nobles in Xuzhou and Qingzhou have not only invested in the soap factory for a long time, but they have also made a lot of money."

"Prefect, please think twice!"

Facing the persuasion of these nobles, Liu Yan was moved in his heart.

However, Liu Yan had already promised to other nobles before. Even if he had other ideas in his mind, he could not make any changes. After all, he had to take 20% of the money earned by those nobles.

Moreover, the construction of a soap workshop has begun in Youzhou City. It is too late for these nobles to persuade them now.

"I understand what you all said."

However, Liu Yan thought about it and realized that he could not leave a way out for himself.

Then Liu Yan continued:

"But you have all seen that the soap factory under construction in Youzhou City is not that I didn't tell them that I wanted to buy shares in the soap factory, but who is willing to share their profits with others?"

"Perhaps only Hanzhong Hou can do it, but the nobles of Youzhou, alas"

When Liu Yan said this, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

It seemed like everything was clear to him.

Whether it was the greed of the Youzhou nobles or Bai Feng's anger after learning about this matter.

It's a pity that he is helpless in the face of all this

Several nobles who came to persuade Liu Yan were almost deceived by Liu Yan's superb acting skills.

Because they knew that Liu Yan held 20% of the shares in the soap workshop jointly built by the Youzhou nobles.

In other words, even if Liu Yan did nothing, he would earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a year.

"Prefect, at least we should say hello to the Hanzhong Marquis, right?"

"Now the Hanzhong Hou's steam train has become a great success, and it will be sent to Yecheng in the future. If the Hanzhong Hou expresses his dissatisfaction with you, the prefect, in front of His Majesty."

The nobles who continued to persuade Liu Yan did not go further here.

But the meaning is already obvious.

If Bai Feng said a few words to Cao Cao that you, Liu Yan, are not good enough, then you Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, would not last long.

Liu Yan naturally understood the meaning of this nobleman's words.

But Liu Yan didn't really care at all.

Why did the Youzhou nobles not even pay attention to Bai Feng after they united?

It is because since Youzhou and Xianbei began to trade with each other, both Kebineng and Budugen began to have good relations with the nobles in Youzhou.

The prefect Liu Yan was even a guest of the two.

"The prefect understands your concerns. Let's do this. I will write to the Hanzhong Marquis at that time."

"No matter what the outcome of this matter is, I will be responsible for it all!"

After Liu Yan finished speaking, he looked at the few nobles in front of him solemnly.

When these nobles heard this, they all sighed in their hearts.

They finally understood this time. Liu Yan had made up his mind to make a big profit from it and had no plans to look back.

"Prefect, we have been talking too much today."

"I won't disturb the prefect anymore, I'll take my leave later!"

After bidding farewell to Liu Yan, the nobles left the prefect's mansion together and headed to the restaurant.

In recent years, due to the mutual trade with Xianbei, restaurants, tea shops and inns have sprung up in Youzhou City like mushrooms after a rain.

In a private room of a restaurant in Youzhou.

"Hey, can we people really just stay in Youzhou for the rest of our lives?"

The nobleman who initially tried to persuade Liu Yan sighed softly after putting down his wine glass.

"Brother Zhou, time is also destiny!"

The nobles next to him couldn't help but said to the nobles surnamed Zhou.

"Those of us here were always on guard, fearing that the Xianbei people would rob us of all our hard-earned family property."

"Although there is no need to worry about this problem now, it is even said that without these Xianbei people, there would be no prosperity in Youzhou today, but this kind of prosperity would not be realized without Hanzhong Hou!"

"Now these short-sighted people have occupied the entire Youzhou, and even the prefect is colluding with them!"

After saying that, the nobleman surnamed Zhou couldn't help but raise his glass and drink again.

It is true that Youzhou became more prosperous after trading with Xianbei, but the nobles and officials in Youzhou were getting closer and closer to the tribal leaders of Xianbei.

This was anticipated by Bai Feng when he first implemented the mutual market plan. In the long run, it would be very beneficial for the Xianbei people to integrate into the Wei Dynasty.

Common interests first, and then mutual cooperation can be deepened.

But what followed was corruption.

"Brother Zhou, to the prefect and other nobles, we are just a few little people."

"The prefect can see us today, which can be regarded as a bit of a favor."

"If you ask me, it's better to sell off the property here and go directly to Hanzhong!"

Another nobleman named Sun couldn't help but speak.

In the current environment in Youzhou, these declining nobles have no chance to stand out.

Now they are all in their twenties and thirties, when they are full of ambition.

Since there is no stage for them to display their talents and ambitions in Youzhou, they might as well go to Hanzhong, at least out of sight.

Maybe there will be a chance for Bai Feng to discover their talents in the future, so that they can show off their ambitions.

"good!"

"Then it's settled!"

“It’s okay not to wait here in Youzhou!”

These five young nobles toasted together and prepared to go to Hanzhong.

Hanzhong.

Bai Feng's life is becoming busy now.

Although the steam engine production line of the R\u0026D center is not in a hurry to expand again, the steam train production line still needs to continue to be improved.

In the current steam train production line, there are only more than fifty craftsmen involved in production. Bai Feng believes that there is still a lot of room for improvement in efficiency.

There is also an explosives workshop, and the production line has been started. Safety and production capacity are both good.

Bai Feng also plans to add a new explosives production line after the year, and will no longer recruit alchemists as production staff. He will start to train ordinary craftsmen who can produce explosives.
