Chapter 40

Chen Yaozuo looked at the opposite side of the ditch and shook his head: "Xu Longtu, it's not me that I heard about this. I felt that you were doing something wrong a few days ago. Some people who are short-sighted in the fight don't know what's going on? If you hand over the kiln to them, what will they do? Those who see profits forget their righteousness and have no money at first, and everything is fine. When the kiln is making money later, countless troubles will inevitably arise. We are officials in the local area and have nothing to do. You do this for nothing. Wait, there are things that are unfamiliar to Mengzhou and Heyin behind."

After saying that, Chen Yaozuo looked at Li Shen on the side and shook his head repeatedly.

Xu Ping said: "Money is moving, and profit is now, and people's hearts are not as complete as they were at the beginning. Therefore, these kilns and so on are all run by the government and private governments. Everything is subject to regulations and those that do not comply with the rules will be dissolved."

Chen Yaozuo smiled and said, "If things in the world were so easy, the world would have been peaceful long ago. I said that if we continue to do this kiln here, there will be no need to do things in the prefectures and counties, or we will have a second one. Then what, Tong Dalang. Will the public officials in charge of affairs be tired of it? I have never seen it for decades."

Xu Ping and Li Chan looked at each other, without saying a word, and walked forward silently.

What Chen Yaozuo said is right? Of course, it is right. Xu Ping disagreed, but the saying that when you are an official in the local area, you should be at ease. You always passively avoid trouble. What else can you do? When you should be peaceful, you should be more troubled when you should be more troubled. You must adjust your principles of doing things according to the actual situation.

But this is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do.

How many years can this kiln club exist? Twenty years and thirty years? Perhaps only three years and five years. Xu Ping originally wanted to promote the tide of commodity economy, and this productive mutual assistance cooperative organization that runs contrary to the commodity economy can naturally exist for a while. The society has the significance of the existence of the society, such as being very small, such as being meager in profits, but once it develops, the profits are abundant, it will naturally lose its foundation of existence. This is an objective law and is not transferred by human will.

Organizing a company is a buffering measure against the impact of the commodity economy tide. It is not a long-term solution. As long as it can play the role it should play. Being able to make the company disappear means that the commodity economy has matured and the goal is achieved. Let the poor and small producers safely go through this transition period, and the organized company will have immeasurable merits.

After leaving the Gang of the Gang and reaching a place with rugged rocks, Xu Ping said: "My husband, this is here. Look at the exposed rocks here, not far from the river beach, the large rocks you pick can slide down the slope."

Chen Yaozuo looked around and nodded, "Okay, that's it! That gunpowder, come and see me!"

Xu Ping hurriedly handed Chen Yaozuo: "Gunpowder has the ability to destroy the world, so be careful. Just look at it from a distance!"

After saying that, he signaled Lu Fang who was following him and prepared medicine to explode the mountain.

Lu Fang Yingnuo brought a few soldiers, took out the prepared gunpowder pack, and let Chen Yaozuo see from a distance.

Chen Yaozuo couldn't help but frown: "Wrapped in sackcloth, who knows what it is!"

Xu Ping said: "My husband, we will take apart when we go back. It's really inconvenient now. When this thing gets touched by sparks, it will explode in shock. It's not a joke, but it's just for them to do things with peace of mind."

While talking, Xu Ping pulled Chen Yaozuo back behind several nearby big rocks.

Lu Fang took several soldiers from the bridge and road wings, took sled hammers and iron drills, and went to a cliff exposed on the rocks to chisel the place where gunpowder was placed. It is located on the bank of the Yellow River. It is windy all year round and the moisture is strong. The stones are weathered very hard, so it is not troublesome to chisel them.

Xu Ping whispered loudly: "Lu Fang, today I just want to see what I mean, put less gunpowder, don't have any accidents!"

Lu Fang responded far and asked his soldiers to do things.

Chen Yaozuo said unhappily: "Since you come out and see, just look at it completely. What's the point of setting less gunpowder?"

"My husband is confident to see. If you are not satisfied, you can do it again."

Xu Ping looked around and found that he was only a hundred steps away from the place where gunpowder was set. He was not relieved. If one was not good, a stone happened to fly over, and he would cause a big disaster. He called Qiaodaoxiangjun to come over and set up a tall bamboo curtain in front of where he and his people stood. This was what they had always carried by him, and they stood up in a short while.

This bamboo curtain is not very strong, it is used to block flying stones. When the stone hits it, even if it passes through it, there is no harm.

Chen Yaozuo looked at it silently, his brows frowned and became tighter, and he secretly blamed Xu Ping for being mysterious. He has never seen anything before in his decades? He would be scared by the way he opened a stone!

After struggling for half an hour, everyone was impatient to wait. Lu Fang ran over and reported: "The medicine eyes on the big stone in front have been chiseled, and the gunpowder has been put in. According to the official instructions, only a small amount of it was used!"

Xu Ping nodded and asked Chen Yaozuo beside him: "My husband, have you started blowing stones?"

"Start, start! If you wait any longer, I will be unable to stand!"

Xu Ping turned around and made a gesture to Lu Fang, and waved his hand suddenly: "Start the fire!"

Lu Fang Yingnuo quickly ran out to the open space in front, took out a whistle in his arms, and blew it suddenly.

The whistle was extremely sharp, which scared Chen Yaozuo, Li Shen and others standing behind the stone, and suddenly became nervous.

After blowing the whistle, Lu Fang looked around and saw that he was no longer surprised, he took out a small flag. The whistle in his mouth blew three times in a row, and the small flag in his hand suddenly waved it.

The soldiers in front received the order, lit the fire in their hands, and ignited the fuse.

After receiving the signal from the ignition soldier, Lu Fang blew a few whistles suddenly. Seeing that no one around was exposed, he quickly ran behind a big rock and covered his body.

Chen Yaozuo was nervous when he was blown by the sharp whistle, and Lu Fang's series of movements became even more nervous. He waited for a while and saw black smoke rising from a hundred steps away. There was no movement. He breathed out and said to Xu Ping: "It's just a row of black smoke, why is it so scary!"

Before he finished speaking, a shocking roar suddenly came, and the smoke and dust rose up in the sky with gravel and dust. Almost in the blink of an eye, crackling sounds came from the bamboo curtain blocking in front of him. Several soldiers wearing bamboo armors could hardly hold on. Not only did the sound stop, the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the entire top of the mountain.
