It only took half a day.

The news that Bai Feng sent a steam train to Cao Pi as a gift has spread throughout Yecheng.

Both the officials and the people began to discuss it one after another.

The topic of steam trains has once again become a hot topic among the people of Yecheng.

When Shopkeeper Chen heard the news, he once again invited Shopkeepers Qian and Zhao to drink together.

Before that, he had written and sent people back to Hanzhong about the reaction of the people of Yecheng to the fact that Cao Pi was about to receive a steam train as a gift today.

It's still the same restaurant, and it's still the same private room.

Shopkeepers Chen, Qian, and Zhao drank again.

"Hahaha, it's so enjoyable and enjoyable!"

Shopkeeper Zhao laughed loudly after putting down his wine glass.

Originally, it was Shopkeeper Chen who initiated the wine party this time, but Shopkeeper Zhao claimed that he would treat the guests this time.

The reason for this is that his antique calligraphy and painting shop has been doing very well recently.

So in front of Shopkeeper Chen and Shopkeeper Qian, I can finally feel proud.

"Hahaha, Brother Zhao's business is going well recently!"

"Yes, it makes us two really envious, hahaha!"

Shopkeepers Chen and Qian also smiled at Shopkeeper Zhao.

The three of them are already familiar with each other, and it doesn't hurt to make an occasional joke.

"That's right! Go ahead and envy you two!"

"After all, I will envy you two after a while, hahaha!"

Shopkeeper Zhao laughed when he heard this.

Sales of steam engines and soap workshops are still on the rise in Yecheng.

Even though soap workshops in Qingzhou and Xuzhou have started production, they have little impact on soap sales in Yecheng.

Mainly those small workshops that rely on imitation soaps and soaps have been having a hard time recently.

"Brother Qian, do you know when the steam train will be available for sale in Yecheng?"

Shopkeeper Zhao then asked Shopkeeper Qian.

Regarding the steam train, Shopkeeper Zhao has heard too much news these days.

The more information he knew, the more curious Shopkeeper Zhao became about steam trains.

Shopkeeper Chen was also curious about the steam train, because when he came to Yecheng to take charge of the soap workshop, the steam train had not yet been put into official use in the mine.

Among the three of them, only shopkeeper Qian, who came to Yecheng last, knew the most about steam trains.

"Want to sell steam trains in Yecheng?"

"It's really been a long time coming."

Shopkeeper Qian heard this and said to the two of them.

"The production of this steam train will take at least about half a year."

"But making steam trains is just the beginning. If you want to use steam trains, you still need to build railways and mine coal."

Shopkeeper Qian then told Shopkeepers Chen and Zhao everything he learned about the steam train.

"So, even if the steam train that the Marquis of Hanzhong is going to give to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we won't be able to see it until the turn of spring and summer next year at the earliest?"

Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help but ask Shopkeeper Qian after hearing this.

You have to wait about half a year, which is really a long time.

"Normally, that's how it goes."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Qian nodded to Shopkeeper Zhao and said.

Shopkeeper Qian still doesn't know that the R\u0026D center has built a steam train production line, and the efficiency of manufacturing steam trains has also improved a lot.

It's just that the speed of making steam trains is not as fast as the speed of making steam engines.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Prince should build a railway. Otherwise, when the steam train waiting to be sent from Hanzhong arrives, it will not be able to start!"

Then shopkeeper Chen said.

Steam trains rely heavily on railways, and even the people in Yecheng know this.

"Yes, but I don't know where this railway will be built?"

Shopkeeper Zhao said with interest after hearing this.

Shopkeeper Zhao also heard about Bai Feng's steam train test run in Hanzhong City, and that some Hanzhong people were lucky enough to ride the steam train around the entire Hanzhong County.

“It would be great if a railway could be built around Yecheng.”

"I also want to take a steam train and enjoy the scenery of Yecheng, hahaha!"

Shopkeepers Qian and Chen looked at Shopkeeper Zhao's face that was a little red due to alcohol, with expressions of anticipation on their faces, and couldn't help laughing happily.

"Hahaha, if Brother Zhao wants to experience the feeling of riding a steam train and doesn't want to wait too long, just go to Hanzhong."

"Yes, yes, Brother Chen and I can also write you a letter for the Hanzhong Marquis to ensure that you can take a steam train once you arrive in Hanzhong!"

Shopkeeper Chen and Shopkeeper Qian said to Shopkeeper Zhao one after another.

After Shopkeeper Zhao heard this, he really felt a little moved.

After all, if you can experience the feeling of riding a steam train at this time, you can have a good time next time you drink with other friends.

And shopkeeper Zhao feels that this guy can boast for at least half a year.

"really?!"

Shopkeeper Zhao was afraid that shopkeepers Chen and Qian were making fun of him, so he couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Of course it's true!"

Shopkeepers Chen and Qian nodded in unison and said seriously.

One of them managed a soap workshop in Yecheng and the sales volume increased steadily, and the other sold steam engines to Qingzhou and Xuzhou without increasing the quantity.

Bai Feng knew that the two of them wanted to invite a friend to experience the feeling of riding a steam train in Hanzhong, so he would not refuse.

"It's a pity that my business has been good recently. When I have free time, you must help me write a letter to the Hanzhong Marquis. I want to experience the feeling of riding a steam train!"

After seeing the serious answers from both of them, Shopkeeper Zhao continued to say to them.

"Hahaha, no problem!"

"It's on us!"

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Qian and Shopkeeper Chen patted their chests and said to Shopkeeper Zhao.

Shopkeeper Zhao was immediately happy when he heard this, and then started drinking with Shopkeepers Qian and Chen.

The next thing that the three of them talked about was the rumor that Bai Feng, Cao Pi and Cao Cao had settled their differences.

"Do you think the Hanzhong Marquis has really settled all the differences with His Majesty?"

"Why do I always feel like the nobles and officials here in Yecheng are just wishful thinking?"

Shopkeeper Zhao, who was already a bit superior, began to speak indiscriminately again.

But this time Shopkeeper Qian is used to it, and Shopkeeper Chen has long been used to it.

Although Shopkeeper Zhao likes to talk nonsense when he is drunk, he usually does not drink too much. That is, he only lets himself go when he drinks with Shopkeepers Chen and Qian.

At this time, the questions that Shopkeeper Zhao raised to Shopkeepers Chen and Qian were also the focus of discussion among Yecheng officials and nobles today.
