The newly designed cigarette machine was quickly put into production and then into production, with one million cases of cigarettes in production on the thirteenth day.

For no other reason, Xu Kuang only took 12 days to overexpand the production line to 800, producing more than 1 billion cigarettes per day, and directly completing the production of the last 2 billion cigarettes in two days.

Cigarettes continue to be produced, and others begin to take care of packing boxes.

It took two days to pack, and on the fifteenth day, Xu Kuang took Haosen and Haosen's men to the warehouse where the cigarettes were stored.

In the past ten days, Haosen has not been idle, in addition to overseeing the work, he also found a few teams from the mercenary union to be responsible for transporting the cigarettes back to the headquarters of the mercenary union.

Xu Kuang said to Haosen:

"You still have two days, let your subordinates inspect the goods, and sign the goods with the staff after inspection."

Haosen looked at Xu Kuang blankly, he didn't expect Xu Kuang to really produce a million cases of cigarettes in seventeen days.

He asked:

"Dare to ask Mr. Xu Kuang, if I order again in the future, do I still have to wait for seventeen days?"

Xu Kuang smiled:

"No, if you sign this kind of big order again, you should bring a few people to negotiate the price, I don't think you are a suitable person for trading."

Haosen nodded, and he said to Xu Kuang:

"Then I'll sign the order now, and I hope you can give me a good price the next time I come over."

Xu Kuang chuckled and nodded.

He could see that Haosen was really not suitable for this kind of work, Haosen had a ranger temperament, very free and easy, and didn't care too much about anything, this kind of character was good to be a mercenary, but if he was a businessman who had to pay a lot of money, he would suffer.

Xu Kuangmu sent Haosen away and smiled.

The cigarette chief is not set on the west bank, but on the east bank, which is an inevitable result, if Engladiol City wants to develop and grow, it can no longer nest on the west bank.

Xu Kuang was preparing to build a bridge across the east and west banks, a double-decker bridge, with a road above and a railway below.

Of course, this is just planning in advance, steel has a greater use in Jianlan City, and there are still many places within Xu Kuang's territory that do not belong to him, and he has no right to develop there.

This made Xu Kuang quite uncomfortable, and he thought from time to time:

"If only all this territory in a thousand miles was under my jurisdiction."

Xu Kuang doesn't have this right, but this is a thousand miles away, except for the land and official roads of the lord, all other lands belong to him, which is quite good.

The idea of building a railway was buried deeper and deeper in Xu Kuang's heart, and he wanted to extinguish it, but he couldn't extinguish it.

Fortunately, Xu Kuang finally calmed down.

Mushroom Ridge still does not have the conditions to build a railway, and this condition is not technical, nor is it limited by financial resources, but by people's hearts.

When the railroad was built, its first meaning was not the railway, but the money laid on the ground. If calculated according to the international standards of the previous life combined with the actual situation of Mushroom Ridge, a two-meter-long one-sided steel rail is more than 100 kilograms, and 100 kilograms of steel produced by Mushroom Ridge can be sold for six or seven gold coins, which can almost be exchanged for a cow.

For tenant farmers in other territories, stealing railroad tracks is a great temptation to sacrifice their lives, and if they don't find a way to solve this, laying rails is equivalent to throwing gold coins into the water, and they will lose all their money.

Xu Kuang can set up a road protection team, but along thousands of kilometers, how many road protection teams should be formed? This is all work that requires a strong man, and Xu Kuang can't get so many people for a while.

The railroad had no choice but to stop there.

However, the road can be built, and Xu Kuang has indeed let people start to build it, and the road to Yuzhen has been repaired for several kilometers in three months, and if it is not limited by the inefficiency of production tools and the insufficient supply of raw materials, this efficiency can be multiplied several times.

Xu Kuang didn't know much about this aspect, he couldn't provide much help, the only thing he could do was to buy a few sets of tool drawings for road repair in the exchange mall, and let the people in the research center do it.

However, Xu Kuang also understood that he couldn't be a blue fat man who could take anything out of his pocket. If he really did this, after a long time, the group of people in the scientific research center would become dependent on him, which was not good, so Xu Kuang was ready to let this group of people study on their own.

……

Jing Ming and Jing Xi came again, followed by Jenny, who was a little helpless.

Xu Kuang looked at Jenny with some resentment, and then asked:

"I don't know what you have to say when you two visit?"

Jing Ming and Jing Xi smiled:

"I know you have tobacco fields in both Hulu Town and Yuzhen Town, and you have tens of thousands of acres of tobacco inventory, but these are not enough, right?"

Xu Kuang's brows furrowed, he knew that what these two people said was true, the million boxes of cigarettes given to Haosen had almost exhausted the storage of Gladiolus City, if it weren't for the fact that the next season's tobacco was already in the process of drying, Xu Kuangzhen didn't know how to maintain the next business.

Xu Kuang asked:

"Whatever you want, just say it."

"We can provide you with tobacco raw materials, but you have to promise us one condition."

"What conditions?".

Jing Ming said to Xu Kuang seriously:

"We came with you with a cooperative mentality, so we don't plan to use the power of the family to suppress you, but this doesn't mean that other princes have no ideas about your business, especially your Marquis of Collins in Baihua Province and Duke Goa, who is in charge of the southeast province of the kingdom, you don't have any background, you can't keep your own business."

Xu Kuang's face sank like water, he knew that Jing Ming was not alarmist, he asked:

"So, what do you need?".

Jing Ming smiled bitterly:

"I need a tobacco franchise in the southwest province of the empire, I have already found out, all tobacco merchants who come to you to buy goods need to get a tobacco franchise license, we are happy to abide by your rules and give us a license of the highest level."

"Okay.".

The brother and sister looked at each other, and Xu Kuang agreed too quickly.

"Why did you say yes so simply?".

Xu Kuang smiled bitterly:

"The point is that I don't have the right to refuse."

Jing Ming chuckled, and he said to Xu Kuang:

"Brother, you believe me, this choice you have made now is absolutely right.".

Xu Kuang nodded, and he said to Jing Ming:

"I will design the tobacco license of the South West Road, and from next month, I will only sell you tobacco, and I will not sell any other tobacco merchants from the South West Road, how about it?"

Jing Ming nodded, also admiring Xu Kuang's decisiveness.

Xu Kuang thought about it, but still reminded Jing Ming:

"Although your family has a tobacco monopoly in Southwest Road, I still think that the tobacco stall is too big, and it is difficult for your family to eat it, I can give you the right to issue a tobacco license, you set a license threshold, and cooperate with those small shops in the streets and alleys, and you may earn more."

Jing Ming's eyes lit up, he felt that this was very interesting.
