Xu Kuang hurriedly asked:

"What's going on?".

Seeing that the time had come, a group of people hurriedly knelt down on both sides of the road, and a few emotional people rushed to Xu Kuang, ready to sue Xu Kuang.

Seeing this, Zhao Ertu snatched the rifle from the hands of the guards, and knocked down the two people who rushed the fastest with two shots.

Xu Kuang's eyes suddenly became cold, and he asked:

"What are you doing here?".

Zhao Ertu suddenly became at a loss, and he hurriedly explained to Xu Kuang:

"I'm afraid someone will assassinate you......".

Xu Kuang snorted coldly:

"Thank you, I don't have to worry about you, guard, let a few people come, I want to hear what they have to say.".

Zhao Ertu's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he said to Xu Kuang:

"Lord, this group of Diao people always asks you for conditions, so we don't have to listen to it......."

Xu Kuang's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, and he asked:

"You're going to teach me how to do things?".

Zhao Ertu's heart was half cold, he looked at Xu Kuang, and quickly explained:

"I didn't mean that, I meant I ......".

The guards had already arrived with a few people.

Xu Kuang asked:

"If you have anything, you can tell me directly."

Those few people fell to their knees all of a sudden, and they began to accuse Zhao Ertu and Hei Huohua of their crimes:

"This guy cares about people's lives, and for the sake of his own political achievements, he doesn't care about the life and death of others......."

The more they talked, the more energetic they became, at first they spoke, then they became scolding, and then they became singing, scolding while singing.

Zhao Ertu's face was pale, and he wanted to explain something to Xu Kuang, but suddenly saw Xu Kuang looking at the people on the side of the road and asked:

"Are they telling the truth?".

Everyone on the side of the road said to Xu Kuang in unison:

"Really.".

Xu Kuang sighed, he looked at Zhao Ertu and asked:

"I'm pretty good to you, right?"

Zhao Ertu sat down on the ground all of a sudden, he really didn't know what to do.

The black fire in the crowd was also dragged out by the guards.

The two hugged their heads and cried, telling each word how much they regretted their mistakes.

Xu Kuang sighed, and he said to the two:

"You have betrayed my trust in you, you two are definitely not enough to do so many things, call out all your men, don't let me do it myself."

The two of them trembled and began to recognize, and the people who were pointed at were all paralyzed.

Xu Kuang sighed, he looked at the intersection that was almost full of kneeling people, sighed, and said:

"It stands to reason that I should have handed you over to the Security Division, but now I'm not going to do that, people, you can deal with it."

As soon as these words came out, the people rushed up, and the crowd led by Zhao Ertu was quickly overwhelmed by the crowd.

A smell of blood escaped.

Xu Kuang frowned, and said to his subordinates:

"Get out of here.".

The crowd hurried away.

Xu Kuang sat in the government on the east coast, looking at Zhao Ertu's "political achievements" in the past few months, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Zhao Ertu is really unscrupulous."

Soon, Xu Kuang's men reported that Zhao Ertu, Hei Huohua and others were divided and eaten by the people.

Xu Kuang was also stunned for a moment after hearing the news.

He didn't expect the people to be so cruel and violent.

Xu Kuang immediately said to his subordinates:

"Convene a popular assembly.".

Soon, the people's meeting was held, and Xu Kuang made a serious review at the meeting, first saying that he did not know anyone, and then said that he would immediately send new officials, and the treatment of everyone would return to the same as when he first came.

Everyone cheered in unison, long live Xu Kuang.

Xu Kuang sighed and turned to leave.

In the next few days, the hidden remnants of Zhao Ertu were eradicated, and then Zhuge Duan personally led people to station, and the construction of a new office building began.

Xu Kuang sighed and said to Zhuge Duan:

"Zhengfang, whether the East Coast can develop or not depends on you."

Xu Kuang discussed with Zhuge Duan, and tried his best to develop on the east bank in the future, and then transformed the west bank into a strategic material reserve center and military camp.

A few days later, Xu Kuang ran out of the laboratory with excitement on his face.

The cigarette machine was finally successfully developed by him.

He immediately found shredded tobacco and cigarette paper and began to try his hand at making them.

The metrologists on the side were silently counting, and it took a full hour before the metrologists stopped.

He said to Xu Kuang:

"On average, this set of cigarette machines can make more than 1,000 cigarettes every 10 minutes, and more than 8,000 cigarettes in an hour."

Xu Kuang calculated, this efficiency is not enough, but the efficiency is not enough to make up the quantity, he immediately placed an order with the factory.

Xu Kuang said to his subordinates:

"After opening three production lines, the production of upper, middle and lower three grades of cigarettes, the top grade cigarettes to be made with the sweetest tobacco, the second grade, the lower grade is the second, the top grade is priced at 20 copper coins a pack, the middle grade 10 copper coins, the lower grade 5 copper coins."

The head of the cigarette factory asked:

"Wouldn't that be too cheap?"

Xu Kuang smiled:

"It's not cheap, cigarette factories are going to volume, we have to try to keep down profit margins, squeeze potential competitors to death, and in the future, you should pay attention to refining product classification, don't stick to the old ways, stop moving.".

Xu Kuang is also concerned about the sales of cigarettes, in his opinion, cigarettes are good, no worse than the current pillar industry textile, his army is expanding more and more, now there are more than 40,000 people, military spending is getting bigger and bigger, the textile industry seems to have reached a bottleneck, income growth has begun to slow down, he must expand new sources of finance.

All this was within Xu Kuang's plan.

Xu Kuang laughed, and he said to the person in charge of the factory:

"When the time comes, the government will cooperate with you to engage in tobacco monopoly, so you can rest assured."

Now the profit of tobacco is still very high, he knows that the manufacturing threshold of tobacco is higher than that of cloth, and others have not yet realized the power of tobacco, so this is a good opportunity for Xu Kuang to seize the market.

Xu Kuang decided to rapidly expand production in a short period of time, and he was going to start urging the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

He had already decided that the farmland in Bitter Melon Ridge and Taro Ridge was still growing food, and he was going to let Wayne's territory grow tobacco, which he could wholesale at a high price.

He approached Wayne personally and wanted to talk to him.

Wayne said to Xu Kuang:

"It's time for me to talk to you about something else."

Xu Kuang looked at Wayne in amazement and asked:

"What's the matter?".

Wayne looked at Xu Kuang and found that Xu Kuang had become haggard, his face was full of traces of exhaustion, and he couldn't bear to say the words that came to his mouth.

The plus-sized man is still working his career, and Wayne really can't bear to talk about his private affairs.

"Forget it, you talk about it."
