Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning - Chapter 1346

Inside the palace.

Cao Cao paced back and forth.

He was thinking about how to deal with the impact of steam trains.

At the same time, people have also been sent to invite Xun Yu, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu to come together to advise.

The three came to the palace one after another.

Cao Cao read Xiahou Dun’s letter to all three.

After Xun Yu, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu saw it, the shocked expressions on their faces were similar.

“Your Majesty, it’s amazing that this steam train can carry so much food and travel thousands of miles a day!”

Although Jia Xu had heard of steam locomotives before, this was the first time he understood the performance of steam locomotives.

It can load 150,000 catties of grain, and it can run around day and night!

After reading Xiahou Dun’s letter, Jia Xu felt that the steam train should have been made by immortals.

Mortal artifact, comparable to the immortal family!

“This steam train also needs rails and coal, which may be the only fly in the ointment!”

After reading the description of the steam train in the letter, Xun Yu said to Cao Cao and others.

From Xun Yu’s point of view, if all the cities in the Great Wei Dynasty were to be connected by rail, then the amount of steel consumed would be a huge amount.

“So much steel is used to lay the rails, and the management and maintenance of the rails is not a small expense…”

At this time, Xun Yu had already started to calculate how much manpower and material resources it would take to build a railway throughout Dawei.

Cheng Yu also nodded after hearing the words.

“What Wen Ruo said is right. Although this steam train and railroad tracks are good, a lot of manpower and material resources need to be invested in the early stage.”

“In a county in Hanzhong, the construction of railways is naturally rapid, and the consumption of steel and craftsmen are still within the acceptable range.”

“However, the entire Dawei has continuous mountains and rivers, and there are many rivers. It is very unrealistic to connect every city with railways.”

Cheng Yu said here, and suddenly thought of Hanzhong to take a look to find out how Bai Feng planned the railway route.

“However, if the important towns can be connected to each other by railway, and the steam train can transport troops and grain at the same time, it will make the world of my great Wei more stable!”

In the end, Cheng Yu affirmed the importance of steam trains.

After Cao Cao heard the three people’s opinions and analysis on the steam train, they all agreed.

“Everything you’ve said about steam trains makes sense.”

“It’s just that this steam train is now only in Bai Feng’s hands.”

“Even though steam trains have all the advantages and benefits, only Hanzhong has them.”

“I called everyone here today to study how to make steam trains in our hands.”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at Xun Yu, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, expecting their answers.

Naturally, the three of them learned from Xiahou Dun’s letter that Bai Feng would not sell steam trains now.

And the output of coal in Dawei is not much.

At present, the places with the most coal production are still in Yizhou and Hanzhong.

“Since this steam train cannot be purchased from Hanzhong now, why don’t we develop it ourselves?”

When Xun Yu heard this, he first said to Cao Cao.

An important weapon of the country, such as a steam train, must be in the hands of the imperial court!

Even if he could really buy a steam train from Bai Feng, no one would be able to find out if Bai Feng did anything in the steam train.

“Yes, the steam train must be in the hands of the imperial court!”

Cheng Yu also spoke up.

The importance of steam locomotives is very clear to everyone who has read Xiahou Dun’s letter.

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded again.

Just how to keep the steam train in the hands of the imperial court is a difficult problem.

Now let alone a steam train, even a steam loom had to be manufactured by Hanzhong to sell a steam engine to Yecheng.

“Your Majesty, since Hanzhong can manufacture steam locomotives, if we want to manufacture steam locomotives, why not go directly to Hanzhong to dispatch craftsmen to Yecheng?”

“If Bai Feng disrespects His Majesty’s will, he is disloyal to His Majesty!”

After thinking for a moment, Jia Xu spoke to Cao Cao.

There’s nothing faster than just grabbing what’s ready.

Craftsmen and drawings are all available in Hanzhong.

Cao Cao, as the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, asked for a batch of craftsmen and drawings for the manufacture of steam trains. Can you, Bai Feng, refuse to give them?

With the blueprint of this steam locomotive and the craftsmen who participated in the manufacture of steam locomotives, the imperial court will be able to manufacture steam locomotives sooner or later!

After listening to Jia Xu’s advice to Cao Cao, Xun Yu couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Now the world knows that the relationship between Cao Cao and Bai Feng is delicate.

If Bai Feng continues to be unhappy at this time, the matter of the prince has not been settled.

Aren’t you afraid that Bai Feng will go mad and make the Great Wei Dynasty turbulent?

“What Wen He said, I think it’s a little bit more radical.”

Then Xun Yu said to Jia Xu.

When Jia Xu heard this, he looked at Xun Yu and continued:

“If Wen Ruo has a clever plan, it will come in the future, I am all ears.”

Cao Cao actually felt that Jia Xu’s plan was feasible, but if Bai Feng received his will, he would neither provide craftsmen nor offer the blueprints of the steam locomotive.

Then the pressure comes to your side.

Cao Cao is old, and now he is looking for opportunities to suppress Bai Feng, so that the prince can better take over the authority of Da Wei from him in the future.

In this world, the surname is Cao, not Bai!

If Bai Feng really has the confidence to turn his back on himself, then the situation in this court is very bad…

Although Cao Cao’s concerns could not be directly revealed to Xun Yu, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu.

But he nodded to Xun Yu and said:

“Wen Ruo and Zhong De can speak freely if they have ideas.”

Xun Yu heard this and said to Cao Cao:

“I think what Wen He said is right that we need to get the manufacturing method of the steam train from Bai Feng.”

“However, we can be more gentle in the specific implementation.”

“For example, we don’t have to give Bai Feng an edict~www.mtlnovel.com~ to let him send the craftsmen who made the steam train and the blueprints directly to Yecheng.”

“But we can send people to Hanzhong to learn how to make steam trains!”

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up.

Jia Xu also felt that Xun Yu’s method should be easier for Bai Feng to accept.

Cheng Yu nodded after hearing the words.

“You can also provide some ore to Bai Feng and even craftsmen!”

“In this way, if Your Majesty wants to buy a steam train from Bai Feng again in the future, there should be no problem.”

Then Xun Yu continued talking to Cao Cao.

Bai Feng used the iron ore and craftsmen provided by Cao Cao to sell the steam train to the court, which became a matter of course.

“Hahaha, Wen Ruo’s idea is very good, I am very satisfied!”

Cao Cao couldn’t help laughing at Xun Yu.
