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

While Bai Feng was carrying out various expansion plans in an orderly manner, the nobles of Wei were not idle either.

As the soap factory continues to expand, the profits it brings are becoming more and more abundant.

It can be said that the nobles who invested in the soap factory have already recovered their capital and have begun to make profits.

This made those great Wei gentry who had no chance to invest in the soap workshop extremely jealous.

And compared with the nobles who have invested in the soap factory, the proportion of nobles who have not invested in the soap factory is larger.

Although the nobles who invested in the soap factory had higher power and status, the soap factory also benefited from the convenience provided by these nobles and was able to expand rapidly.

However, the combined power of those nobles who did not have the opportunity to invest in the soap workshop should not be underestimated.

After soap workshops were opened in Xuzhou and Qingzhou and soap was sold, other nobles who had not yet opened soap workshops were already a little restless.

According to Cao Jie's previous progress in building soap workshops, it will take at least half a year before other states and counties will start building soap workshops.

In this way, the nobles in Youzhou can't wait.

Youzhou, the residence of Liu Yan, the prefect.

"Prefect, in the current Xianbei trade market, it can be said that the supply of soap exceeds the demand."

"Even if the price of the soap we bought from the trustee in Yecheng is higher, plus transportation costs, we can still make a lot of profits from the mutual trade with the Xianbei people!"

A nobleman from Youzhou said loudly in front of everyone.

There are more than a dozen Youzhou nobles around.

After listening to what this nobleman said, the prefect Liu Yan nodded and admitted that the soap trade with the Xianbei people was indeed very profitable.

Steam engines are basically priceless in the mutual market. After all, steam looms still have many problems for spinning wool.

But the soap is very popular.

"So I think everyone should invest a sum of money together. We should also set up a soap workshop to produce soap for the Xianbei people!"

"This kind of opportunity to make a lot of wealth can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

After this Youzhou nobleman finished speaking, the other noblemen nodded in agreement.

The prefect Liu Yan did frown and said:

"Of course it's okay to build a soap workshop, but no matter what, we have to say hello to Hanzhong Hou."

"Let Hanzhong Hou provide us with soap recipes and build soap workshops, just like Xuzhou and Qingzhou."

After Liu Yan finished speaking, the nobleman who spoke before did not agree with Liu Yan's point of view.

"Prefect, do you know that even if you invest in a soap factory, you will only be able to share 40% of the profits?"

"The remaining profits will belong to Hanzhong Hou, and all of us will share the remaining 40% of the profits!"

"And part of the recipe for making soap has been circulated. Even if we don't need help from Hanzhonghou, there will be no problem for us to build a soap workshop to produce soap."

This Youzhou nobleman already knew a lot about the soap factory because he had a friend who invested in a soap factory in Xuzhou.

"It would be bad if the Hanzhong Marquis knew about this, right?"

Prefect Liu Yan was also very moved by what this nobleman said. After all, if they built a soap workshop in Youzhou and sold soap to the Xianbei people, the profit would be 30% greater than that of the soap workshop in Yecheng!

And there is no need to share the profits with Bai Feng.

A business worth hundreds of thousands of taels a year would make anyone tempted!

"Prefect, the Hanzhong Hou is currently building railways and manufacturing steam trains in Hanzhong, and soap workshops have just been completed in Xuzhou and Qingzhou."

"In this way, even if Hanzhonghou intends to continue to expand the soap workshop, I'm afraid it won't be possible in a short time."

"But every day we wait here, it will be a loss of thousands of taels of silver!"

At this time, another Youzhou nobleman stood up and persuaded the prefect Liu Yan.

Other noble clans also spoke out one after another:

"Prefect, if the Marquis of Hanzhong really knows about this, it's not impossible for us to let the Marquis of Hanzhong become a shareholder!"

"That's right, if we could build the soap workshop one day earlier, we could earn thousands more taels of silver!"

"Prefect, time waits for no one. Things will happen in the future, let's find a way to solve them!"

"The most important thing is that the money falls into your pocket!"

For a time, the prefect Liu Yan couldn't help being greatly moved.

The friendship that Bai Feng had come to promote the opening of mutual trade between Xianbei tribes and the Wei Dynasty had gradually turned into nothing in Liu Yan's eyes.

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year!

As long as he nods, he can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every year without spending a single tael of silver.

"Okay! It's settled then!"

"You guys should choose a suitable place to build a soap workshop. If there is any problem at Hanzhonghou, I will come to deal with it!"

Despite the persuasion of the nobles, Liu Yan finally could not resist the temptation of money and agreed on the spot.

The other nobles also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Ever since Wei and Xianbei began to trade with each other, the Youzhou gentry who used to live a tight life could now easily earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a year thanks to the mutual trade.

It can be said that without the exchange of trade between Xianbei and the Wei Dynasty that Bai Feng promoted, these Youzhou nobles would still be the poorest group of nobles in the Wei Dynasty today.

It was Bai Feng who changed their lives.

But in front of Yinzi, the reasons and kindness in the past were gradually forgotten.

The reason why these Youzhou nobles must ask the governor Liu Yan to nod is that the entire Youzhou must participate in the soap workshop from top to bottom, so that everyone can get a piece of the pie.

In this way, we can unite to deal with Bai Feng's future anger.

"Okay, please don't worry, Prefect!"

The Youzhou nobleman who was the first to speak spoke to Liu Yan in a deep voice.

The nobles have made a lot of preparations in private, and asking Liu Yan to nod is the last step.

Later, the nobles of Youzhou began to build soap workshops in the city.

In just one week, ten soap workshops have been built in the entire Youzhou City!

This speed made the prefect Liu Yan couldn't help but gasp, it was so fast!

"These people were all prepared, and they finally came to persuade me."

At this time, Liu Yan also realized that he had become the tall man whose sky fell.

"For the sake of money, it's worth taking a little risk."

Then Liu Yan thought about the money he would get from the nobles next, and his last worry disappeared.
