It's time for the court meeting again.

After the canonization of the crown prince ended, the transfer and promotion of officials above the court have also come to an end.

To put it simply, officials who supported Cao Pi were promoted to a certain extent.

Although the promotions are not large, they are still in key positions.

This is also the pavement that Cao Cao made so that Cao Pi could directly form his own governing team after he ascended the throne.

And it also left room for Cao Pi to continue to promote these people.

After Cao Zhi was named King Chen, he had already set off for the fiefdom.

"Dear ladies, do you have anything else to discuss? If not, please retreat now."

The meeting has now come to an end.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Wu Zhi, one of Cao Pi's supporters, came to the center of the hall and bowed to Cao Cao and said:

"Your Majesty, I recently heard that Hanzhong County has begun to use steam trains as a tool to transport ore."

"And this steam train can not only be used to transport ore, but also food and soldiers."

"The imperial court must master such an important weapon of the country!"

After Wu Zhi finished speaking, other ministers also nodded.

Although these ministers did not know the specific details of the use of steam trains in Hanzhong, they had all heard descriptions of steam trains.

Cao Cao has already read the detailed report on the steam train sent by Xiahou Dun.

Regarding the understanding of steam trains, no one in the court can surpass Cao Cao.

"Well, Wu Aiqing's words make sense."

"But you don't have to worry about this."

Cao Cao nodded and said to Wu Zhi.

"I have arranged for Ma Jun and Pu Yuan to take a group of craftsmen to Hanzhong to learn how to make steam trains."

All the ministers were stunned when they heard this.

They didn't expect Cao Cao to make arrangements so quickly, nor did they expect Bai Feng to agree to someone coming to their place to learn the technology of making steam trains.

You must know that even though there is a place for selling steam engines in Yecheng, until now, steam engines are still in short supply in Yecheng.

Even steam engines are already so profitable.

Not to mention the even more powerful steam train.

Did Bai Feng reach some agreement with Cao Cao, so he asked Cao Cao to send people to learn the manufacturing technology of steam trains?

At this time, some officials in the main hall had already begun to think about the reasons behind this incident.

Cao Cao saw the different expressions on the ministers' faces, and then said again:

"I estimate that next year, the imperial court can also start manufacturing steam trains."

"Such an important weapon of the country must naturally be in the hands of the imperial court."

Then Cao Cao remembered the situation when he wanted to buy a steam train from Bai Feng, but was rejected.

"If we can have a steam train in our hands now, maybe relying on the world's skilled craftsmen, we can build a steam train in Yecheng this year."

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, Cao Pi stepped forward and said:

"Father!"

"The Marquis of Hanzhong sent a letter to Erchen two days ago, saying that he wanted to send me a steam train as a congratulatory gift."

"But I decided to dedicate this steam train to my father!"

After Cao Pi finished speaking, Cao Cao felt happy.

I was regretting not having a steam train just now, but I didn't expect that my good son would prepare one for me.

The smile on Cao Cao's face was clearly visible to the ministers in the court.

Later, they were puzzled as to why Bai Feng gave Cao Pi such a large gift.

Cao Cao was suspicious of Bai Feng and believed that Bai Feng's achievements would shock his master, so he kept suppressing Bai Feng.

Regarding the battle for the crown prince, even though Bai Feng came to Yecheng, he did not go to Cao Pi or Cao Zhi's house for a banquet.

Not to mention coming out to support Cao Zhi or Cao Pi becoming the crown prince.

Now that Cao Pi was suddenly given such a big gift, it was only natural for the courtiers present to speculate.

"Hahaha, since this is a congratulatory gift from the Marquis of Hanzhong to Zihuan, I naturally can't take away anyone's love."

"But I am really curious about the steam train. When the steam train is delivered to Yecheng, Zihuan, just take me to have a look, hahaha."

Then Cao Cao smiled at Cao Pi.

"Father, I will remember this."

Cao Pi heard this and said loudly to Cao Cao.

Today's court meeting officially ends here.

Cao Cao finally kept Xun Yu.

"Wen Ruo, is Bai Feng sending a steam train to Zihuan also to please the future Emperor of Wei?"

When facing Xun Yu, Cao Cao couldn't help but asked with a smile.

To be honest, Cao Cao was still a little unhappy when he learned that Bai Feng sent Cao Pi a steam train.

After all, he didn't get a steam train from Bai Feng.

After Xun Yu heard this, he thought a lot.

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's necessary to please."

"But I think Mr. Bai's move is more for Your Majesty to see."

Xun Yu said it more directly.

But Cao Cao didn't feel angry, because that was the truth.

If Bai Feng hadn't made him feel threatened and challenged, he wouldn't have suppressed Bai Feng.

"For me to see?"

However, Cao Cao still didn't understand Xun Yu's last sentence.

"Exactly."

Xun Yu nodded and said.

"This steam train is given to His Highness Zihuan. I think it is Mr. Bai's recognition of the Crown Prince."

"Also, I hope to ease the relationship with Your Majesty."

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded.

On the surface, Bai Feng gave Cao Pi a big gift.

But fundamentally, the emperor of the Wei Dynasty is still Cao Cao.

I, Bai Feng, gave you the gift of your second son to tell you that I have no objection to your second son becoming the future emperor of Wei, and I also support it.

In the final analysis, it is still a dialogue between Bai Feng and Cao Cao.

"Hahaha, Wen Ruo still sees clearly."

After thinking about this clearly, the unhappiness in Cao Cao's heart disappeared.

But steam trains alone are not enough. Railways must be built.

So Cao Cao planned to have a railway built outside the palace around the imperial city so that the steam train could be used.

After the court meeting, all the civil servants and generals left the palace and began to think about Bai Feng giving Cao Pi a steam train as a congratulatory gift.

The meaning of this is huge.

Just say that the conflict between Bai Feng and Cao Cao was reconciled, and it brought great changes to the court of Wei.

If steam trains are used in Yecheng, it also indicates that there will be huge benefits.
