The news that Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, resigned and was preparing to retire and return to his hometown soon spread throughout Yecheng.

The gentry and officials who were paying attention to the commercial war between Youzhou and Hanzhong understood that this battle ended with the complete defeat of the Youzhou gentry.

Bai Feng soon learned the news.

Bai Feng was not surprised by this result.

It would really be beyond his expectation if Liu Yan and the Youzhou nobles could turn defeat into victory after Bai Feng used the steam engine as a killer weapon.

Bai Feng also learned about the start of the Yizhou steam engine production line from Cao Jie.

Bai Feng is very satisfied with the construction of the steam engine workshop and the efficiency of craftsman training.

Cao Jie, who returned to Hanzhong from Yizhou, decided to rest for a while before going to other prefectures and counties to build soap workshops and steam engine workshops.

Bai Feng also supports this, and he will provide Cao Jie with more manpower in the future so that she does not have to work so hard.

The New Year's Day has quickly arrived.

The entire city of Hanzhong was already decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

People are on the street picking out the New Year's goods and new clothes.

The children were playing happily on the street with various snacks in their hands.

During the Chinese New Year, the happiest people are always the children.

The Hanzhong Hou Mansion was also decorated with lanterns and decorations at this time.

Under the arrangements of Cao Jie, Liuli and others, the entire Hou Mansion was filled with joy.

Although Bai Feng did not participate personally, he was very happy with this New Year atmosphere.

Different from the New Years he has spent before, every New Year in Hanzhong can make Bai Feng feel the strong flavor of the New Year.

In order to celebrate the achievements of this year's steam engine workshop and soap workshop, Bai Feng decided to make this new year more lively.

So one week before the Chinese New Year, Bai Feng came to the explosives manufacturing workshop.

Under Bai Feng's instructions, Wei Boyang and others started making the fireworks described by Bai Feng with great interest.

It didn't take too long. After several experiments, the fireworks bloomed in the open space far away from the explosives workshop.

Fireworks were originally invented in the Tang Dynasty and began to flourish in the Song Dynasty, becoming an entertainment activity for people during the New Year.

Bai Feng was hundreds of years ahead of schedule and displayed the fireworks in front of Wei Boyang and others.

Wei Boyang and others, who saw fireworks for the first time, were all excited by the brilliant flames in the night sky.

Because we didn't have much time to make, we only made more than a hundred fireworks this time.

"It's not easy for all the people in Hanzhong counties to see these fireworks alone."

When Bai Feng brought this batch of fireworks back to his mansion, he was thinking about whether there was any way to give the people in Hanzhong County a chance to enjoy the fireworks.

After finishing making fireworks, Wei Boyang and others began to pack their personal belongings and prepare to go home for the New Year.

Bai Feng thought about it and finally decided to use a steam train and place fireworks on the steam train, so that the people of Hanzhong County could enjoy the charm of fireworks.

After returning to the mansion, Cao Jie smiled at Bai Feng and said:

"Husband, are you going to the R\u0026D center? Now we should arrange for the craftsmen in the R\u0026D center to take a vacation."

"I just came back from the Explosives Manufacturing Workshop, and I have a surprise for you this New Year!"

Bai Feng heard this and said to Cao Jie mysteriously.

"surprise?"

Cao Jie began to look forward to it.

Compared to the excitement in Hanzhong, the nobles in Youzhou were not in such a good mood.

Although Liu Yan was ready to retire and return home, this meant that the commercial war with Hanzhong was completely over.

But overall, the money that the Youzhou nobles invested in the soap workshop still lost a lot of money.

Although there will be opportunities to invest in Hanzhong Soap Factory and Steam Engine Factory after the year, the nobles in Youzhou also understand that Bai Feng will not agree to their shares so easily.

Naturally, the people of Youzhou are not as interested in celebrating the New Year as the nobles are. Everyone is actively preparing New Year's goods.

Xianbei people also came to Youzhou for purchasing.

The current Xianbei tribesmen are very satisfied with their current lives.

There is no shortage of food or clothing. Even in winter, there is no need to worry about these.

The mutual trade between Youzhou and Xianbei not only greatly promoted the economy of Youzhou, but also gradually affected the people of Xianbei.

More and more Xianbei people began to yearn for the life of the people in Youzhou.

Time gradually came to New Year's Eve.

Amidst the expectations of Cao Jie, Liuli and others, Bai Feng finally brought out the surprise he had prepared before, which was fireworks.

At the same time, a steam engine train was also ready outside Hanzhong City.

"Jie'er, get in the car and I'll take you to set off fireworks!"

Bai Feng waved to Cao Jie and said.

Cao Jie heard this and boarded the train, followed by Liuli and Zhang Ning.

The train carriage has been rearranged by Bai Feng.

And the carriage was also used as a steam train carriage as a gift to Cao Pi, making it more comfortable to ride.

"Set off!"

The bright moon rises in the sky, and under Bai Feng's control, the steam train starts slowly.

In the carriage behind, Liuli, Zhang Qiying and others were tasting snacks while waiting for the fireworks to be set off.

After they boarded the steam train, Bai Feng had already told them how to set off the fireworks placed at the connection between the carriages.

After the steam train entered Hanzhong City, Liuli was the first to light the fuse of the fireworks.

Then a small red fireball roared into the night sky.

"Bang!"

After the small fireball reached its peak, it exploded into fireworks all over the sky.

Liuli and others were looking up at the night sky, and the gorgeous fireworks were reflected in their crystal eyes.

"It's so beautiful!"

They thought at the same time.

Cao Jie, who was enjoying the fireworks with Bai Feng, was leaning in Bai Feng's arms and looking at the fireworks in the night sky, smiling and saying:

"Husband, this surprise is so beautiful, I like it so much!"

The people in the city who heard the sound of the steam train and the people who were still staying on the train also saw the fireworks in the night sky.

After the first firework was set off by Liuli, Zhang Qiying lit the second one, and then Diao Chan lit the third one.

In the eyes of the people in Hanzhong City, one after another gorgeous fireworks continued to bloom in the night sky.

As the steam train continued to move forward, the people in other cities of Hanzhong County also enjoyed the beautiful fireworks.

"Tomorrow is the new year. What is your wish, Jieer?"

Bai Feng hugged Cao Jie and whispered in her ear.

"Well, I hope to have a child with my husband, and I also hope that Hanzhong will develop better and better, and the whole Wei Kingdom will be peaceful and prosperous!"

Cao Jie looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said gently to Bai Feng.
