The dry tobacco matter takes time, so Liu Heng is not in a hurry to explain this to Zhao Yutu.
As long as the time comes, everything will come to light.
"Sir, as long as you don't smoke cigarettes, you can let me do whatever you want." Zhao Yutu was stubborn and unwilling to put down the cigarettes.
He was worried that dry tobacco would damage Liu Heng's health, and the Tiger Flag could not live without Liu Heng.
Liu Heng waved his hand and said: "We will talk about dry tobacco later. Now that iron ore and copper mines have been discovered on the grassland, I am going to move some Dongshan miners and some workshops of the Ordnance Bureau to the grassland. The Logistics Bureau needs to do it in advance. Good planning.”
"Moving the workshop to the grassland so quickly!" Zhao Yutu was stunned for a moment.
Although he had long expected that the workshops on Lingqiu's side would move to the grassland, after all, the place where the mineral deposits were discovered was already the territory of the Tiger Flag. What he didn't expect was that less than two months had passed, and the workshops had to move to the grassland. Relocation has begun.
Liu Heng said: "The iron furnace in the iron yard has almost been erected. It will soon be able to produce iron. The workshop must also keep up. In the future, the gun range in Lingqiu will also be moved to the grassland. In the future, only Lingqiu will remain. Part of the workshop producing common ironware.”
The center of gravity of the Tiger Character Flag is slowly shifting to the grassland, which is the goal that the Tiger Character Flag has set.
Even if one day he falls out with Ming Ting and loses his foundation in Lingqiu, there is no need to worry about being controlled by others.
"Don't worry, sir. I will make arrangements as soon as I get back. There will be no accidents in the relocation of the workshop." Zhao Yutu promised.
Liu Heng nodded and said, "When Huang Zhong comes back, you can negotiate with him about the relocation."
"Yes." Zhao Yutu agreed.
Huang Zhong is the director of the Ordnance Bureau. The workshops in Tiger Flag are all managed by the Ordnance Bureau. The relocation of the workshops involves the Logistics Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau.
Liu Heng glanced sideways at the standing clock by the wall, and then said to Zhao Yutu: "Wait here for a while, and count the time. Huang Zhong is almost here."
"Follow the arrangements, sir." Zhao Yutu nodded and said.
Zhao Wu on the side poured a glass of water and gave it to Zhao Yutu.
After almost a cup of tea, the guard outside the door came in, looked at Liu Heng and said, "Sir, Director Huang from the Ordnance Bureau is here."
"Bring it in!" Liu Heng said to the guard.
The guards retreated.
Not long after, Huang Zhong walked in from outside, walked a few steps quickly to Liu Heng, and said respectfully: "I have met you, sir."
"Sit down, Mr. Zhao has been waiting for you here for a while." Liu Heng pointed to the seat next to him, and then said to Zhao Wu, "Pour Director Huang a glass of water as well."
"I would like to thank you, sir." Huang Chong saluted Liu Heng, then took out a wooden box from his arms, put it on Liu Heng's desk, and said, "This is what your Excellency wants. I will build it for the people below." Come out so that I can deliver it to you as soon as possible, but it’s too late now.”
He explained why he was late.
"So you have already made the thing." Liu Heng looked at the wooden box on the table and eagerly got it into his hands.
Huang Jiao nodded and said: "According to what the adults said, my subordinates made two different sizes."
Liu Heng opened the wooden box and his eyes lit up when he saw a pipe and a cigarette pot placed inside.
Rolling dry cigarettes in white paper saves time and effort when smoking.
The key is that white paper is not cheap and is not suitable for ordinary people. On the contrary, it is a cigarette pot that can be used for a long time, and the same is true for pipes.
Liu Heng first took out the pipe from the wooden box.
Then, he took out the iron box containing the cigarettes and took out a rolled cigarette from it.
He grabbed the dry cigarette roll with both hands, twisted it, tore the outer paper, and put the tobacco inside into the pot of the pipe.
Huo Zhezi lit the tobacco in the pot, and he smoked hard with his mouth.
Sparks erupted from the shredded tobacco in the pot. Liu Heng exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "It's not bad. I can make it like this in the future, and I can add some colors to the outside."
Liu Heng held the pipe in his hand fondly.
"Sir, you can try another one." Huang Zhong pointed to the long cigarette pot in the wooden box.
Liu Heng reached out and took out the cigarette pot from the wooden box, handed it to Zhao Wu, and said, "Here, try this and see if it is convenient to smoke with this cigarette pot."
"I, I don't know how to smoke!" Zhao Wu said at a loss.
Liu Heng smiled and scolded: "Stop pretending in front of me. You usually steal my tobacco for smoking. You think I don't know. Come on, if it suits you, I will give you this pipe pot from now on."
Although Zhao Wu carried him behind his back every time he smoked a pipe, he still smelled the smoke from Zhao Wu's body, which made him know that Zhao Wu was also exposed to dry tobacco.
However, he has never exposed Zhao Wu.
Although tobacco is harmful to the body, the damage is not as serious as Wushi Powder, so he has no objection to people smoking in Tiger Flag.
When Zhao Wu saw that his elders knew about his smoking, he no longer felt embarrassed, took the pipe and pot, and started smoking directly.
The two people were fuming in the signing room.
This moment made Zhao Yutu, a non-smoker, so miserable that he choked and coughed repeatedly.
Seeing this, Liu Heng stubbed out his cigarette.
He knew that non-smokers didn't like the smell of cigarette smoke, especially in a small space like a mortgage room, where it would be difficult for the smell to escape.
When Zhao Wu saw that Liu Heng had strangled him, he also hurriedly strangled him.
"I'll give you this pipe pot." Liu Heng said to Zhao Wu, "Go and open the window to disperse the smell of smoke."
Zhao Wu, who had tried the cigarette pot, also liked it very much, so he put it on his waist and then opened the window of the pledge room to let the smell of smoke in the room disperse.
Liu Heng looked at Huang Zhong and said: "These two things created by the Ordnance Bureau are good. In the future, these things can be sold to smokers, which can also be regarded as a kind of income created by the Ordnance Bureau."
Paper is too expensive to be used for smoking cigarettes, so cigarette pots have become a good alternative tool.
"Don't worry, sir. These two things are very simple to make. The workshop can make them in large quantities at any time." Huang Zhong said in a relaxed tone.
Zhao Yutu on the side said at this time: "Sir, I feel that tobacco should not be grown. I am afraid that no one is willing to smoke this kind of thing."
He didn't think anyone would like to smoke such a choking thing.
"Zhao Wu, do you like smoking?" Liu Heng turned to Zhao Wu and asked.
Zhao Wu nodded and said: "I think smoking is very good. Sometimes I feel tired, and a few puffs can refresh me, and I don't feel any discomfort in my body."
"Mr. Zhao, you heard it! Not long after Zhao Wu came into contact with dry tobacco, he already likes it." Liu Heng said to Zhao Yutu with a smile.
Coming from a later generation, he knew the power of tobacco. As long as he smoked it, most people would be reluctant to put it down. The longer they smoked, the harder it was to put it down.
