Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning - Chapter 1393

Remember [] for a second,!

Just when the nobles who came to Yecheng were planning to buy steam engines and build new means of transportation, Cao Pi had already started preparations for the construction of the railway.

Because of his previous experience in building railways in the imperial city, the first thing Cao Pi did was to prepare various raw materials for the construction of the railway.

Whether it is steel, wood or stone, a lot of preparations are underway under Cao Pi’s orders.

The second is the planning of railway routes.

Due to the limited power and terrain of the steam train, too steep hills and some wide rivers are not suitable for building railways.

Therefore, there are not many options for Cao Pi to choose.

After the calculations of officials responsible for road construction and craftsmen, Cao Pi’s most suitable plan was given, which is similar to Hanzhong.

That is to build a railway along the road from Yecheng to various states and counties.

After Cao Pi made his decision, he continued to hoard materials for the construction of the railway.

Because of the proximity of spring ploughing, it is not possible to build large-scale construction at this time.

After the spring ploughing is over, with sufficient labor, the construction of the railway can begin.

Afterwards, Cao Pi will report to Cao Cao the route of the railway construction and preparations.

After Cao Cao listened to Cao Pi’s report, he did not make any changes to Cao Pi’s arrangement, and directly asked Cao Pi to build the railway according to this plan.

Now Cao Cao is building a steam train factory in Yecheng for Ma Jun and Pu Yuan.

Because of the excellent performances of Ma Jun and Pu Yuan, Cao Cao started the manufacture of steam trains directly after they returned to Yecheng.

Cao Cao also learned a lot about the steam locomotive manufacturing technology in Yecheng from Ma Jun and Pu Yuan.

“Your Majesty, in the research and development center in Hanzhong, a production line dedicated to the production of steam trains has been built, which is of great help to improve the construction efficiency of steam trains.”

“There is also the fact that steam trains can play a great role in the mines. Hanzhong has put the only two steam trains into the mines.”

When Ma Jun and Pu Yuan reported to Cao Cao, they also mentioned Bai Feng’s arrangement for the steam train in Hanzhong.

“A mine? Speaking of which, Yecheng also needs to mine coal for the use of steam trains…”

After Cao Cao heard the words, he thought to himself.

Before the application of coal, even in Yecheng, there was very little.

Now that Yecheng is preparing to build steam trains and railways, the demand for coal will definitely increase in the future.

After Cao Cao wrote down this point, he prepared to let Cao Pi prepare for the coal mining.

Next, Ma Jun and Pu Yuan will explain to Cao Cao the preparations and materials needed to build the steam train factory and production line.

For the demands put forward by Ma Jun and Pu Yuan, Cao Cao agreed with a wave of his hand.

Soon on the northeast side of Yecheng, a steam locomotive factory sprang up at an extremely fast speed.

This time, it was finally time for Ma Jun and Pu Yuan to show their strength in Yecheng.

The two did not feel the hard work of building a steam locomotive factory from beginning to end. They were very motivated to work every day, and it could even be said to be sleepless.

Because both of them understand that for the manufacture of steam trains, it is not only out of their own love, but also the future will be a beautiful talk of celebrities in the history books.

Cao Jie, who went to Yanzhou again to deal with the construction of the soap workshop and the steam engine workshop, also heard about the recent actions of the steam train in Yecheng.

She couldn’t help thinking that she had talked with Bai Feng about going directly to Yecheng by steam train before she set off. Bai Feng told Cao Jie at that time that building a railway was not an easy task.

The railway connecting Hanzhong and Yecheng will take at least two or three years to complete.

However, Cao Jie believes that Yecheng’s attention to steam trains and preparations for building railways may not take as long as Bai Feng said.

The construction of the soap workshop and the steam engine workshop in Yanzhou went very smoothly.

After Cao Jie’s affairs here were basically completed, he went directly to Yecheng to visit Cao Cao and Empress Bian.

Cao Cao and Queen Bian were very surprised by the arrival of Cao Festival.

After Cao Pi learned that Cao Jie came to Yecheng, he also came to the palace.

In the palace at this time, Cao Cao prepared a sumptuous feast.

“Jie’er looks very energetic now. Things about the soap workshop and the steam engine workshop in Yanzhou should be going very smoothly, right?”

Cao Cao asked Cao Jie with a smile.

Regarding the construction of the steam engine workshop, Cao Cao had received a letter from Bai Feng before, and he also strongly supported this matter.

Cao Jie heard the words and said:

“Father, the nobles in various states and counties are very cooperative now. Whether it is the construction of the soap workshop or the steam engine workshop, it is very smooth.”

“It is expected that by the end of this year, all states and counties will be able to complete the construction of soap workshops and steam engine workshops.”

“According to the husband’s statement, the Great Wei is about to enter the era of steam.”

When Cao Cao and Cao Pi heard the word steam age, they were puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized.

Queen Bian didn’t really care about the steam engine workshop and the soap workshop. She was very happy to see that Cao Jie was more confident and energetic than before.

“Jie’er, these are all the dishes you like to eat. Eat more. If you run around every day, you will look a little thin.”

Facing Empress Bian’s concern, Cao Jie felt very happy.

“Thank you mother!”

Then Cao Jie smiled sweetly at Queen Bian.

If Bai Feng is also here, that would be the best.

Cao Jie was enjoying the warmth brought by his family, and he couldn’t help but miss Bai Feng.

Although it is the most ruthless imperial family, Cao Cao still attaches great importance to his children and family affection, especially after he recovered from a stroke.

When Cao Jie was in Yecheng, accompanied by Cao Pi, he also went to a workshop where a steam train production line was being built.

“Brother, Yecheng will be able to manufacture steam trains soon. I really hope the railway between Yecheng and Hanzhong will be completed soon.”

After leaving the steam train factory, Cao Jie smiled at Cao Pi.

Since Cao Pi was canonized as the crown prince, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters has also eased a lot.

“Hahaha, little girl, don’t worry, after the spring ploughing, the railway will be built.”

“It is estimated that it will take one or two years for the railway to be built to Hanzhong. When the time comes, it will be very convenient for the little sister to come to visit the father and mother.”

When Cao Pi heard this, he smiled at Cao Jie.

After that, Cao Jie went to Yongzhou again. After the construction of the soap workshop and steam engine workshop in Yongzhou was completed, only Youzhou and Liangzhou were left in the northern convenience of the Great Wei Dynasty.
