Pig Killer

Chapter 227

"Then let's give it a try." Huang Zhongchang said readily.

"It's okay for men, but this woman is here." Zhang Jixian pursed his lips and looked at him and said, "I'm not optimistic. It's inconvenient for one thing, but the key is that there are differences between men and women. She doesn't want to come."

"Ask first." Huang Zhongchang said bluntly, "If you are willing to come, come. If you don't want to, forget it. You can't force it!"

"Okay!" Zhang Jixian nodded and smiled, "I'll go post the recruitment notice now!"

"Let's go together." Huang Zhongchang stood up and said with a smile.

"Are you in town for business?" Zhang Jixian looked at him puzzledly and asked.

"Looking for mother!" said the big tiger with a smile.

"Please ask my sister-in-law to teach them how to read." Zhang Jixian nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay!"

"Not only that!" said the big tiger, looking at him with a smile.

"Is there anything else I don't know?" Zhang Jixian said to them with a smile in his dark eyes.

"Auntie is very powerful. Let's compete with our brothers and let her teach them." Li Nu looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Sister-in-law? Force?" Zhang Jixian looked at them with disbelief and looked at Huang Zhongchang in confusion.

"The kids are talking about this. I don't know the details, so let's compare them." Huang Zhongchang shrugged and looked at him.

"Then let's go!" Zhang Jixian turned his dark eyes and looked at him and said, some things are not easy to say in front of children.

Huang Zhongchang and his companions entered the city, and Zhang Jixian went to the county government office.

Huang Zhongchang pushed open the door of his house, and Huang Er called out twice in a meaningful way.

"Who's here?" Shen Hui'e looked at the yard through the curtain.

"Mom, we're back." Li Nu walked in excitedly and said.

"Why are you back?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile on her face and asked, "In broad daylight?"

"Father is here to invite Mother." Da Chong lifted the curtain and stepped over the threshold into the house.

"What do you want me to do?" Shen Hui'e's ink-black eyes flashed when she heard that.

"Please, mother, compete with the most powerful brothers and see who is the most powerful." Li Nu walked forward and took her hand and said.

"What are you competing for?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her eyes as gentle as jade.

"As for the competition, I see their training is different from A Niang's." Da Chong looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "I feel like they can't achieve any results from their training and are wasting their time." This was said very impolitely.

"Are we so bad?" Huang Zhongchang said unhappily upon hearing this.

"Bibi will know." The big tiger looked at his father with his crystal eyes and said, and looked at his mother with stars in his eyes and said, "I believe my mother is the most powerful."

Now Shen Hui'e understood.

"No way! Your grandfather served in the imperial army, so his training methods should be pretty good." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at them and said, "The imperial cavalry swept across the world and unified the country."

"Those are iron cavalry. I have never seen my grandfather riding a horse." Da Chong said to them with his innocent eyes.

Huang Zhongchang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his hands and said, "This is where the problem lies."

"What's wrong?" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

"Dad was in the army, but he wasn't a cavalryman." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his bright eyes and said, "Dad seemed to be an infantryman, not a vanguard." After thinking carefully, he said, "But Dad also knows something about training!"

"How can I explain this? Watching and doing are two different things." Shen Hui'e said as she stroked her index finger across his brow, "After all, we don't know how the imperial army is trained." Then she added, "You are all groping your way forward."

"Well!" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his deep black eyes and said, "Since the kids say you can do it, you should give it a try." He stared at her without blinking and said, "In two years, you have trained from a weak woman to being able to defeat a man. I think you have been trained well."

"Okay! I also want to see how strong your combat power is now?" Shen Hui'e responded readily.

"Oh! By the way, Mr. Zhang just said that there are not enough teachers to teach the soldiers how to read." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his dark eyes.

"Oh!" Shen Hui'e nodded to show that she understood, "She wants me to go."

Huang Zhongchang said unhappily, "This was your suggestion. Shouldn't you go?"

"It's okay for me to go, but can you accept it? Is it okay with you?" Shen Hui'e said to him with raised eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her, not quite understanding.

"The military camp is full of men." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her dark eyes and said bluntly.

"You kill pigs and sell pork, why are you afraid of this?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with amusement.

"This is different. Those who come to buy pork are all neighbors, young girls and wives." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her shiny black eyes and said.

"Our goal now is to stay alive. As long as we can train an elite group of soldiers, it doesn't matter if they are men or women!" Huang Zhongchang said anxiously, "We can't care about so many things. Our lives are the most important."

"I have no problem with that. But are my fellow brothers willing to be trained by a woman?" Shen Hui'e said, looking at him with her jade-like eyes.

"Save my life, ma'am." Huang Zhongchang clasped his hands and bowed to her.

"That's no problem for me." Shen Hui'e responded readily, looking at him with her deep and bottomless eyes without blinking.

"Why are you looking at me?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her, not quite understanding.

"Nothing?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes and shook her head slightly, then asked, "When are we going?"

"Go now, time waits for no one." Huang Zhongchang stood up and said anxiously.

"Okay!" Shen Hui'e stood up and said, "Let's go!"

"Mom, Dad." Da Chong and the others also jumped off the bed.

The family of four closed the door and left the house.

Huang Zhongchang looked at the bolt on the gate, the doorknob was gone, "You sent all the ironware in your home to the military camp, is that inconvenient?"

"It's nothing, just the same as before!" Shen Hui'e was stunned when she heard that. It was rare that this boy cared about others, but she couldn't change the current situation.

"When you have more iron tools, return them to us!" Shen Hui'e said, looking at him with clear eyes.

"Of course, of course." Huang Zhongchang nodded hurriedly, "The weapons confiscated from the battlefield will be used to make big iron pots for the villagers first." Then he added, "Repay double."

Shen Hui'e smiled and said, "How do you feel about the support from the villagers?"

"What do you think?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her puzzledly.

"We need to sum up our experience of gains and losses." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and penetrating eyes.

"Gains and losses?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his black eyes flashing and said, "I think what Madam said is feasible!"

"What?" Shen Hui'e looked at him in confusion.

"Rely on the common people." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with sparkling eyes and said, "As you always say, those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few supporters."

"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!" Shen Hui'e said to him with a smile on her face.

"They are hardworking and kind. Although they quarrel sometimes and even fight until they are bleeding, if they really want to destroy our home, they will do it with a kitchen knife." Huang Zhongchang's eyes were crushed in the bright sunshine.

"They are very cute." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with eyes as gentle as jade.

"But now it's the fellow villagers who are supporting us wholeheartedly. It's hard to say about other places." Huang Zhongchang said very rationally.

"We are all kind-hearted people, and we are all from the same hometown." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright eyes and said, "Hey! Have you ever cared about who the emperor is?"

"Why should I care about him? When he's so far away?" Huang Zhongchang chuckled when he heard that.

"The sky is high and the Emperor is far away. We only care about the harvest, whether our children are successful, whether our daughters are married well, and whether we live a good life. Is our son filial?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her gentle eyes and said, "Are our parents in good health?" She looked at him with her sparkling eyes and said, "Who cares who the emperor is? As long as we have enough food and warm clothes, we can live like a god."

Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his dark eyes flashing with tiny lights, a smile on his lips, "Are you still concerned about taxes?"

"We have been taxed more and more, and we are afraid of it," said the tiger with a shudder. "Now we are afraid of the sound of the gong in the county government office!"

"Then let's not increase taxes!" Huang Zhongchang said simply and easily.

"Impossible." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her crystal clear eyes and said, "Even if you don't raise taxes, there will be a day when you won't have enough to eat."

"Why? I won't increase taxes anymore." Huang Zhongchang looked at her in confusion.

"Because the population has increased." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her dark eyes and said, "When the world is peaceful, children will be born like rabbits in litters. The children born will be mouths to feed. But the grain yield per mu is limited. Do you think it will be enough to eat?" She looked at him with clear eyes and said, "The population is growing faster than the grain yield."

"Rabbits give birth very quickly! They can give one litter in a month, with five or six babies in each litter. It's easy to have a hundred babies in a year." The big insect looked at him with its black eyes.

"How do you know?" Huang Zhongchang asked his son curiously.

"My grandmother has them." The big insect looked at him with round eyes and said, "During the spring ploughing this year, we relied on these rabbits to replenish our energy."

"You've worked hard." Huang Zhongchang said as he looked at their tanned faces, which were almost the same color as his.

"Dad is the one who has it hard! He has no freedom and can't even hunt." The big tiger looked at him with his black eyes and said, "He doesn't eat well and has to do heavy physical labor day after day. He can't even eat meat." He looked at the blue sky and said, "Dad can come back safely, it's really God's blessing."

"Thank God." The cat slave said gratefully.

Huang Zhongchang's eyes were slightly red as he looked at his two children, and his heart was warm.

"Then what should we do? We can't just stop people from living!" Huang Zhongchang scratched his head and looked at them and said, "There is strength in numbers! Without people, nothing can be done."
