In the study, Bai Feng naturally understood what Cao Jie was worried about.

Before sending undercover craftsmen and shopkeepers to Youzhou to snipe the soap sales of Youzhou nobles, Bai Feng also considered this reason.

If the gentry in other states and counties are unwilling to invest in soap workshops in the future, they will choose to build their own workshops to produce soap.

The expansion of Hanzhong Soap Factory will incur more costs.

This is what neither Cao Jie nor Bai Feng wants to see.

For Cao Jie, it was his hard work that was stolen by others.

For Bai Feng, it means less funds for the development of Hanzhong and Yamatai.

"Well, if the Youzhou nobles really plan to open up the soap market in Liangzhou and Yongzhou, it will be too late for us to follow up now."

Bai Feng couldn't help but fell silent after speaking.

The last batch of soap sent to Youzhou was already the largest amount that Hanzhong could produce without affecting local soap sales.

The purpose is to shatter the dreams of the Youzhou nobles who want to make a fortune from soap with one blow.

But this stick really shattered most of the dreams of the Youzhou nobles.

But the result of being broken but not completely broken was something Bai Feng had not expected before.

It can only be said that Liu Yan did pose a problem for Bai Feng this time.

Being able to deal with the Xianbei people in Youzhou for so many years, and no serious situation has happened since the opening of the mutual market, it can be said that Liu Yan also has two skills.

Cao Cao did not miss the right person for the position of governor of Youzhou.

Just when Bai Feng and Cao Jie were thinking about how to deal with the Youzhou nobles who were about to open up new sales channels.

Cao Cao and Cao Pi in Yecheng also received news about Youzhou.

"Father, I didn't expect that the Hanzhong Marquis would make such a precise move, and it would happen with almost no warning, leaving the Youzhou nobles unable to sell even a single piece of soap!"

After Cao Pi learned about the result of the battle between Bai Feng and the Youzhou nobles because of Soap, he couldn't help but exclaimed to Cao Cao.

Even Cao Pi has not yet figured out what method Bai Feng used to get in touch with Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng without disturbing the Youzhou nobles at all, and sell a large amount of soap at once.

Cao Cao's information was more detailed than that obtained by Cao Pi.

"Zihuan, the Marquis of Hanzhong, contacted Kebineng and Bu Dugen through a businessman named Zhou, and sold about 20,000 pieces of soap to them."

There is no airtight wall in the world. After Cao Cao used some of his manpower, he investigated Bai Feng's operations in Youzhou.

"There are also doubts about the identities of some of the craftsmen recruited in Youzhou Workshop."

After Cao Cao combined these two points, he continued to say to Cao Pi:

"This is roughly how things should develop."

"First of all, the Marquis of Hanzhong sent craftsmen to the Youzhou soap workshops to understand their production status and when they were ready to sell the soaps."

"Then I asked the shopkeeper to go directly to Youzhou with a large amount of soap, and use the soap in his hand to contact Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen."

"In the end, before the soaps in the hands of the Youzhou nobles were sold, they rushed to sell the soaps to Kebineng and Budugen and lowered the price. This made the soaps in the hands of the Youzhou nobles lose their appeal to Xianbei merchants. ”

After listening to Cao Cao's analysis, Cao Pi couldn't help but nodded and said:

"What the father said should be the arrangement of the Hanzhong Marquis."

"The whole strategy is not very subtle, but it is successful because it is linked together, and the craftsmen and shopkeepers sent by Hanzhong Hou are very capable and executed very well."

At the end, Cao Pi couldn't help but admire Bai Feng's ability to recognize and employ people.

It was obviously just a simple strategy, but in Bai Feng's hands it could make the Youzhou nobles lose their teeth and devour their blood.

"Father, I feel that the Youzhou nobles no longer have the power to fight back against the Hanzhong Hou's plan."

"At this time, the court should take action, right?"

When Cao Pi talked to Cao Cao about the Youzhou Soap Factory, he had already made a plan on how to mediate the relationship between Bai Feng and the Youzhou nobles.

Cao Cao did not directly nod in agreement upon hearing this.

"Zihuan, although the Youzhou nobles were caught off guard by Hanzhong Hou in the first confrontation, they are not completely powerless to resist."

"After all, Liu Yan still has some real abilities."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Cao Pi couldn't help but ask again:

"Father, what other means do the Youzhou nobles have to sell soap to the Xianbei people?"

According to what Cao Pi learned, Hanzhong's soap was incomparable to the soap produced in Youzhou in terms of cost, quality, and quantity.

So he couldn't think of any other way in which the nobles of Youzhou could sell the soap in their hands to the Xianbei people with such an absolute advantage.

"Don't just focus on the Xianbei people."

"The ultimate goal of the Youzhou nobles is for money."

Seeing that Cao Pi still didn't understand what he meant, Cao Cao then reminded him.

Don't just focus on the Xianbei people?

After hearing this, Cao Pi began to think again.

The next moment, Cao Pi couldn't help but blurt out:

"Could it be that the Youzhou nobles want to sell the soap in their hands to other states and counties?"

"Liangzhou, or Yongzhou?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao nodded and smiled.

"Yes, under Liu Yan's suggestion, the Yizhou nobles are now actively contacting the nobles in Liangzhou and Yongzhou and want to sell soap to them."

"Of course the price is not as good as selling it to the Xianbei people, but it can ensure that they still make money."

Then Cao Cao told Cao Pi about the arrangements of the Youzhou nobles.

"If that is the case, it seems that the court is not in a hurry to get involved now."

Cao Pi nodded and said.

Since the methods of the Youzhou nobles have not been exhausted, even if the imperial court takes action now, the Youzhou nobles will not be able to feel much benefit.

The imperial court had to wait until the Youzhou nobles were at their wits' end before they could take action.

This is also the prerequisite to ensure that Bai Feng will not continue to pursue the Youzhou nobles.

If Bai Feng doesn't calm down, then this matter will still be difficult to handle.

"I don't know how long the Youzhou nobles can hold on. Maybe they can really let Bai Feng come in joy and return in despair?"

Then Cao Pi thought in his mind.

Cao Cao nodded after hearing this.

He knew more about the situation.

After the Youzhou nobles were ready to open up the market in Liangzhou and Yongzhou, and Hanzhong had invested all the soap stocks in Xianbei, Cao Cao did not think that Bai Feng had any effective way to curb the Youzhou nobles from participating in the soap business.

After all, for the Youzhou nobles, making less money is still making money, and they still have a lot of soap in their hands.

If Bai Feng wants to take action again, it may be too late.
