Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning - Chapter 1367
Just when the nobles in Youzhou started to build a soap workshop, there were still a small number of nobles who thought that after doing this, Bai Feng’s anger would be very serious.
In the eyes of this small group of nobles, it seems very irrational to give up future long-term interests for the sake of immediate interests.
After they did this, Bai Feng would have no good feelings for the nobles in Youzhou.
So this small group of nobles went to the prefect’s mansion, trying to persuade Liu Yan that the nobles who were building the soap workshop should not rush into production.
“Prefect, you just let everyone build a soap workshop, how will you explain it to the Hou Hanzhong in the future?”
After arriving at Liu Yan’s mansion, several nobles began to persuade Liu Yan.
“Yes, prefect, you can never earn enough money, why are you in such a hurry?”
“We won’t suffer from taking a stake in the soap workshop. The nobles in Xuzhou and Qingzhou have not been involved in the soap workshop for a long time, but they have also made a lot of money…”
“Prefect, please think twice!”
Facing the persuasion of these gentry, Liu Yan also moved in his heart.
However, Liu Yan had already promised other gentry before, and even if he had other ideas in his mind, he couldn’t make any changes. After all, he had to take 20% of the money the gentry earned.
And now that the construction of a soap workshop in the city of Youzhou has begun, it is really too late for these nobles to persuade them now.
“I know what you said.”
However, when Liu Yan thought about it, it wasn’t that he couldn’t leave a way out for himself.
Then Liu Yan continued:
“But you have all seen that the soap workshop under construction in Youzhou City… It’s not that I didn’t tell them to take a stake in the soap workshop, 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 let out a long sigh.
It seemed that he knew everything.
Whether it was the greed of the Youzhou nobility, or Bai Feng’s anger after learning about this.
Too bad he can’t do anything about it…
The few nobles who came to persuade Liu Yan were almost deceived by Liu Yan’s superb acting skills.
Because they knew that Liu Yan held a 20% stake in the soap workshop jointly built by the Youzhou nobility.

In other words, even if Liu Yan did nothing, he would still have tens of thousands of taels of silver into his account every year.
“Prefect, at the very least, let’s say hello to Hanzhong Hou?”
“Now the steam train of the Hanzhong Hou has been brilliant, and it will be sent to Yecheng in the future. If the Hanzhong Hou expresses his dissatisfaction with your prefect in front of His Majesty…”
Continuing to persuade Liu Yan’s clan, he said that he didn’t go further.
But the meaning is already obvious.
If Bai Feng said a few words in front of Cao Cao, you Liu Yan can’t do it, then you Liu Yan, the prefect of Youzhou, won’t be able to do it for long.
Liu Yan naturally heard the meaning of the gentry’s words.
But Liu Yan didn’t really care.
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 in each other, both Kebineng and Budugen began to befriend the nobles of Youzhou.
The prefect Liu Yan was the guest of honor for the two of them.
“Your worries are clear to the prefect, so let’s go, I will send a letter to Hanzhong Hou.”
“No matter what the outcome of this matter is, this prefect will be responsible for it!”
After Liu Yan finished speaking, he solemnly looked at the few nobles in front of him.
These few nobles sighed in their hearts when they heard the words.
This time they understood, Liu Yan had already made up his mind to make a big profit from it, and had no plans to look back.
“Prefect, let us talk more today.”
“This will not disturb the prefect, I’ll wait to say goodbye!”
After saying goodbye to Liu Yan, the aristocrats left the prefect’s mansion together and went to the restaurant.
In recent years, due to the mutual market with Xianbei, restaurants, tea shops and inns in the city of Youzhou have also sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
In the private room of a restaurant in Youzhou.
“Hey… Could it be that we people can only stay in Youzhou for the rest of our lives?”
The nobility who persuaded Liu Yan at first, put down the wine glass and sighed softly.
“Brother Zhou, time is also fate!”
The gentry next to him couldn’t help but said to the clan surnamed Zhou.
“Before, those of us were worried here all day long, because we were afraid that the family business we had worked so hard to accumulate would be robbed of the Xianbei people.”
“Although you don’t have to worry about this issue now, and even say that without these Xianbei people, there would be no prosperity of Youzhou today, but this prosperity would not have been realized without Hanzhong Hou!”
“Now these short-sighted people have occupied the entire Youzhou, and even the prefect is complicit with them!”
After speaking, the Zhou clan couldn’t help but toast again.
Youzhou is indeed more prosperous after the exchange with Xianbei, but the nobles and officials of Youzhou are getting closer and closer to the tribal leaders of Xianbei.
This was already expected when Bai Feng implemented the mutual market plan. In the long run, it would be very beneficial for the Xianbei people to integrate into the Wei Dynasty.

“Brother Zhou, to the prefect and other nobles, we are just a few small people.”
“The prefect can see us today, which can be regarded as a bit of a thin face.”
“If you want me to say, it’s better to sell the property here and go directly to Hanzhong!”
Another gentleman surnamed Sun couldn’t help but speak.
In the current environment of Youzhou, these fallen nobles have no chance at all.
Now that they are both in their twenties and thirties, it is the time when their hearts are full of ambition.
Since Youzhou does not have a stage where they can display their talents and ambitions, it is better to 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 as to show their grand plans.
“Okay!”
“Then it’s settled!”
“This Youzhou, don’t wait!”
The five young nobles raised their glasses together and prepared to go to Hanzhong.
……
Hanzhong.
Bai Feng’s life is getting busy now.
Although the steam engine production line of the R&D center is not in a hurry to expand again, the production line of steam trains will continue to be improved.
In the current steam train production line, there are only more than 50 craftsmen involved in the production. In Bai Feng’s view, there is still a lot of room for improvement.
There is also the explosives workshop, the production line has also started, and the safety and production capacity are performing well.
Bai Feng also plans to add a new explosive production line after the year, and will no longer recruit alchemists as production personnel. He wants to start training ordinary craftsmen who can produce explosives. Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
