Chapter 272
"My wife is not afraid." Huang Zhongchang said stiffly, pointing his index finger at the floor plan spread on the bed, "She knows Hezhong Prefecture like the back of her hand."
Zhang Jixian could not refute this statement; the painting was meticulous and detailed, and it was clear at a glance.
Zhang Jixian thought for a moment and said, "If my sister-in-law leads the army, this tiger talisman must be given to her."
"This is normal! We let them give us orders, so we can't not give them power!" Huang Zhongchang said as a matter of course.
Zhang Jixian hesitated for a moment after hearing this and said, "Forget it, I won't say anything."
"I know what you are going to say." Huang Zhongchang looked at him gently and said, "Apart from her identity as a woman, what is wrong with her being a commander?" He smiled and said, "What if she has established herself in the army?"
"What do you think?" Zhang Jixian looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Let them gain a foothold! They gained a foothold by their own ability." Huang Zhongchang said straightforwardly, "We have to win. We can talk about it after we win."
"Cough cough..." Zhang Jixian clenched his fist and coughed twice.
"This scares you. I'm telling you the truth." Huang Zhongchang said readily.
"I'm afraid no one can shake my sister-in-law's prestige in the army." Zhang Jixian said cautiously.
"Let me put it this way!" Huang Zhongchang thought for a moment and said, "If my wife loses, we're all doomed. I don't know how other generals lead their troops, I only know that now..." He pointed outside and said, "Brothers are willing to follow her and are willing to fight to the death." He smiled and said, "If my wife wins, we all win and our lives are saved. Even if she has the ability to command the three armies, she is still my wife and the mother of my son. She is paving the way for my son."
Zhang Jixian blinked, tilted his head, and had nothing to say.
I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it.
"Let's go! Gather the five hundred leaders and hear what they have to say?" Huang Zhongchang said, standing up.
Of course they were very happy with the result. They could have the butcher lady take them with her, which was what they wanted most.
Huang Zhongchang looked at Zhang Jixian behind him and said, "Did you see that?"
Zhang Jixian had nothing to say, what else could he say?
Shen Hui'e naturally got the tiger talisman, and all she had to do was ascend the altar and take the oath of office as a general.
This requires some preparation and you also have to choose an auspicious day.

"What do you want from us?" Huang Zhongchang looked at his wife and said.
"What I want to ask is how you plan to take over Hezhong Prefecture?" Shen Hui'e sat cross-legged on the kang and looked at them and said, "In the early stage, we will definitely need military control to maintain law and order. There are many petty thieves who steal chickens and dogs and take advantage of the fire to rob."
"Of course." Huang Zhongchang nodded hurriedly upon hearing this.
"If we want to recover, we have to wait until the summer harvest." Zhang Jixian looked at them with his dark eyes and said.
"How do we accommodate the others?" Shen Hui'e asked them with her eyes as black as jade.
"How do you want to arrange it? Can you be more specific?" Zhang Jixian looked at her with his dark eyes and said.
"Nobles, wealthy people..." Shen Hui'e asked as she looked at them with her ink-black eyes.
"Is there any need to ask? Just deal with them according to the law!" Huang Zhongchang said without thinking, "They are so abominable. Even if they are cut into pieces, it won't satisfy my hatred."
"The common people can be arranged. Open the granaries and store grain, and cultivate the land. The shops on the street should be opened!" Zhang Jixian said simply and easily, "Restore the former prosperity as soon as possible."
Shen Hui'e looked at them with her eyes rolling and asked, "Where is the casino?"
"Well..." Huang Zhongchang blinked and said cleverly, "What does the law say?"
Shen Hui'e's face broke into a big smile when she heard that.
"What are you laughing at, mother?" The raccoon slave said to his mother with eyes like black grapes.
"Father knows how to follow the law." The big tiger said with a smile.
"I know gambling is wrong, but I used to play cockfighting for money!" Huang Zhongchang said honestly, "If they really want to ban it, it will definitely not work."
"The law clearly prohibits gambling, especially opening casinos." Zhang Jixian looked at him with his dark eyes and said, "It's just that the people don't sue, and the officials don't investigate. And those who can open casinos have the government as their backers. This is an important way to make money."
"So that's how it is!" The big tiger looked at him with its black eyes.
"Gambling is inseparable from loan sharking. Loan sharks use violence to collect debts, sell children and even wives. They are addicted to gambling and have no humanity. Families are broken up." Zhang Jixian said, looking at them with his dark eyes.
"The casino has been closed, and those who deserve punishment will be punished according to the law. Those who deserve to be killed will be killed!" Huang Zhongchang said straightforwardly.
"What about the brothels?" Shen Hui'e said to them with a gleam in her eyes.
"Well..." Huang Zhongchang looked at her hesitantly and said.
Shen Hui'e looked at him with her dark eyes as he hesitated, "Have you forgotten the women who died tragically in the mass grave?"
"They are different, aren't they!" Huang Zhongchang rubbed his nose with his index finger.
"What's the difference?" Shen Hui'e looked at him sharply and said.
"The women in the brothels earn money and get paid." Huang Zhongchang thought about it carefully and said to her with his dark eyes.
Huang Zhongchang shuddered as soon as he finished speaking, "Did I say something wrong?"
"Would you rather say that they did it voluntarily?" Shen Hui'e adjusted her mood and said with a smile.
"That's not the case. They were forced to do what they wanted..." Huang Zhongchang saw the innocent eyes of the children and swallowed the word "prostitute" back. "They were forced to sell their children to a filthy place."
"Sister-in-law, you may not agree, but this industry has existed since ancient times and has never been banned." Zhang Jixian looked at her with his dark eyes.
Shen Hui'e laughed in anger, "How come it has existed since ancient times? Is this the right thing to do?" She suddenly raised her voice and asked, "Why are there no men?"
"Yes, but I'm too embarrassed to mention it." Zhang Jixian said awkwardly, he was really too embarrassed to talk about it.
"This woman can be 'open and honest' now." Shen Hui'e clenched her fists and suppressed her anger.
"What you said is ridiculous. You are not a man and you don't understand men. What will happen to this man after he is gone?" Zhang Jixian looked at her seriously and said, "You have to give the man a place to go!"
"A man who can't control himself..." Shen Hui'e snorted coldly. She didn't want to explain it to the children in detail and gave them a look that said you understand.
"I am firm in my attitude! I want to ban it." Shen Hui'e looked at them with firm eyes and said.
"Sister-in-law, why can't you make sense?" Zhang Jixian looked at her with an unhappy expression.
"Because I'm a woman." Shen Hui'e looked at him with eyes that were as dark as ink under her willow eyebrows and said, "They say that you love your people like your own children, but how come you are indifferent when your daughter is sold out?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Jixian looked at her with a dark face.
"Did I say something wrong?" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "If you agree that your daughter..."
"Sister-in-law!" Zhang Jixian said in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid of chaos?"
"It won't be chaotic. As long as a man can control himself, it won't be chaotic." Shen Hui'e looked at him sharply and said.
"What if they volunteered?" Zhang Jixian looked at her unhappily and said, "They are willing to make money without any effort! Why do you care about that?"
"Most of them are willing to do it." Shen Hui'e's eyes froze into ice. "Can you really get all the money? You have to spend it with your body. The people at the front desk and the people behind the scenes wear gold and silver, eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and they are drinking the blood of women." She clenched her fists and crackled them. "Go check the ages of those women and see how many of them are adults."
Shen Hui'e looked at Zhang Jixian with cold eyes and snorted, "If you can't do it yourself, don't stand up for others."
"You are just making a fool of yourself. I used to think you were rational! Who knew you are so unreasonable now?" Zhang Jixian said bluntly, "Do you know that they pay taxes, very high taxes? How much military power can they earn from this..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Hui'e slapped the wooden table in front of him and broke it into pieces.
Zhang Jixian stared at the broken wooden table, then looked up at his sister-in-law in disbelief.
"Oh! The table was smashed to pieces." Huang Zhongchang swallowed his saliva and said exaggeratedly, grabbing his wife's hand and saying, "Why are you angry? Does your hand hurt?" Puff puff... he blew on her hand awkwardly, "Speaking nicely? Why are you reacting so strongly?"
Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows, "Listen to what he said? Military pay, you can spend this as military pay, don't you feel guilty?" She was really furious, "Soldiers are here to defend their country, to protect their parents, wives, daughters, brothers and sisters." She said with a dark face, "Don't just think about the things in your crotch, you're making me angry."
Huang Zhongchang patted her hands and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry." He looked at Zhang Jixian and said, "Could it be that you often lingered in the past..."
Huang Erge was interrupted by Zhang Jixian before he could finish his words, "No, I have never been there! Our family has strict rules and does not allow it."
"It wasn't allowed before, but it's allowed now! No one cares about you, otherwise why would you be so strongly against it!" Shen Hui'e looked him up and down and asked calmly.
"Just wait for chaos!" Zhang Jixian looked at her with a gloating look and said.
Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him childishly, "Mr. Zhang, why are you so strongly opposed?"
"I'm not afraid that the men will make a fuss!" Zhang Jixian thought for a moment, calmed down and said.
"They will be too tired to have time." Shen Hui'e said with an elegant roll of her eyes.
"Brother Huang, what do you think?" Zhang Jixian looked at Huang Zhongchang who remained silent and asked.
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Huang Zhongchang thought for a moment and said to her carefully. Before she could get angry, he added, "But I know what Madam said makes sense. To love the people like one's own children, one cannot only have sons, but also daughters! As a father of a daughter, I don't want this place to exist."
"Don't offend both sides!" Zhang Jixian looked at him unhappily.
Huang Zhongchang was not annoyed when he heard this, and continued, "As for Mr. Zhang's concern about the man making trouble, what is there to be afraid of as long as there is a law? If he dares to make trouble, he will be arrested. How can it be glorious to molest a decent woman?"
