Pig Killer

Chapter 299

Huang Zhongchang nodded and said, "Some policies have good intentions at first, but they change over time."

"Yes! Not only is the mouth crooked and stiff, but it is also used by others to make money." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at his back with her eyes frozen into ice.

"As for finding loopholes, it seems like he's learned it all by himself." Huang Zhongchang said with a smile.

"It's money that attracts people, and it's racking your brains to come up with a solution." Shen Hui'e said with a slightly cold look in her eyes, "Each of you show your magical powers."

"We can only fill the holes." Huang Zhongchang said with a wry smile.

"There's no way. For many things, we can only take remedial measures after they happen. It's too late to mend the fold! This lag is inevitable." Shen Hui'e said helplessly.

"It can't be perfected in advance." Huang Zhongchang glanced back at her and said.

"Nothing is perfect in this world." Shen Hui'e looked at his back with her deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Otherwise, how can you find loopholes? The best policy can only protect the interests of the majority." She said murderously, "For those who find loopholes, just kill them when you catch them!"

"Hehe..." Huang Zhongchang chuckled and shook his head when he heard that.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "What should I do if the pigs are fattened?"

"Kill him!" Huang Zhongchang said lightly, then he started coughing violently. He stopped and looked back at her, his dark face flushed red.

"Not really!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile and said, "I'm best at killing pigs."

Huang Zhongchang stared at her with eyes wide open, moved his lips and swallowed them back.

"Is this hard to understand?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and unfathomable eyes. Even the bright sunshine could not shine into her dark eyes.

"It's not difficult! The words may sound rough, but the truth is there." Huang Zhongchang turned around and continued plowing the field.

"If we don't kill them, when they become stronger and bigger, and then unite, do you think you can compete with them?" Shen Hui'e looked at his back with a cold gaze and said, "Then I will be really alone." Holding the plowshare, she said as she walked, "If you don't know, or are too stupid to see it, it's fine. If you understand it clearly, you can only watch them fall into the abyss, and that feeling of powerlessness is the most painful." She raised her eyebrows and said, "Like the second emperor did this? The people in the court are all fools, don't they know?"

"They were all killed." Huang Zhongchang looked back at her and said, "When we heard about it, we were all shocked. They have a very good reputation among the people."

"How could you know this even in a relatively closed place?" Shen Hui'e looked at him in surprise.

"This is about life and property, so news spreads very quickly." Huang Zhongchang thought carefully and said, "We are building the imperial mausoleum, and the emperor takes this very seriously. If you don't pay attention to the court's movements, you really won't know how you died."

"Haha..." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "That's right!" She said with a lingering look, "Can the person in charge tell you?"

"Look at his face!" Huang Zhongchang raised his eyebrows and said, "When he is in a bad mood, we are in trouble. We have to find out quietly. So many people need food and drink, someone has to deliver food and grass! Isn't this an opportunity?"

"Dogs have their own way, and cats have their own way." Shen Hui'e's deep and penetrating eyes shook slightly.

"Hehe..." Huang Zhongchang said with a smug smile, "It was because I was listening to all directions that I fled decisively. If I was a moment later, I would have become a prisoner." He frowned slightly and said, "I don't know how they are fighting. We don't know the news outside either."

"Didn't you arrange for someone to go out and investigate?" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "Didn't he come back?"

"I'm worried because I'm not here!" Huang Zhongchang said anxiously.

"Now is a bad time for spring ploughing, not for war." Shen Hui'e's deep black eyes turned and said, "When the spring and summer come and the grass grows and the birds sing, we will have food and grass."

"There is a gap between the harvests and the harvest seasons, and we are running low on food and grass. Can we hold on?" Huang Zhongchang was deeply skeptical.

"Then we have to be on guard, in case someone attacks us." Shen Hui'e looked at him with a stern look in her eyes.

"We have many mountains and little land. We are not the granary of the Central Plains." Huang Zhongchang said with his dark eyes shining with deep light.

"The Central Plains is a battleground for military strategists." Shen Hui'e's eyes flickered as she said, "I've been punished. No matter which force it is, we'll have to plunder it."

"I've heard that it's a great place to farm with thousands of miles of fertile land." Huang Zhongchang said with emotion, "The pros and cons are obvious."

"Fight for the Central Plains, and whoever controls the Central Plains controls the world." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with her deep and clear eyes.

This woman really does not hide her ambition at all. From what she said, it seems like it is easy to conquer the world, Huang Zhongchang complained in his heart.

"When it comes to dividing the land and houses, we haven't encountered any troublemakers who are dissatisfied or throw tantrums." Shen Hui'e said with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes! How come I haven't met him? There is no satisfied person in this world, only people who are greedy." Huang Zhongchang snorted coldly and said with disgust.

"Then how did you solve it?" Shen Hui'e asked curiously.

"I don't have to solve it. The people present at the time would have scolded him severely." Huang Zhongchang said with joy in his voice.

Shen Hui'e said with a smile on her face, "It's very refreshing."

"Yes! It's very satisfying, what an ungrateful person." Huang Zhongchang snorted coldly, "And it's as it should be, a guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong, why didn't we see his blood before we came! Why didn't we see him cursing at the county governor and the wealthy merchants!"

"If you dare to scold me, your head and body will be separated." Shen Hui'e asked casually, "What about the end?"

"I admit my mistake." Huang Zhongchang said with a smile.

"Is he sincere? Or is he insincere? Is he harboring revengeful intentions?" Shen Hui'e asked worriedly.

"What about him! He is a guy who looks strong but is actually weak. His brothers and sisters don't support him. Don't worry about him." Huang Zhongchang said with a smile on his face.

"What about the distribution of land among women? Does anyone have any objections?" Shen Hui'e asked deliberately with a moving look in her eyes.

"You are asking this question even though you already know the answer. Who would complain about having too little land? Every bit more counts." Huang Zhongchang said unhappily.

"You don't have to worry about getting married." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and said, "What a vicious family!"

"I was just so happy! I haven't thought about it yet!" Huang Zhongchang pouted and said, "It hasn't happened yet, so I haven't thought too much about it."

"If this man is not honest, his spine will be pierced." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Everyone in the surrounding villages knows him. If he dares to be so dishonest, who will marry his daughter? How can his son find a wife?" Then she added, "You should know all this clearly!"

"I know!" Huang Zhongchang had to admit that she was right!

"So! They have their own judgment on some things, and we have simple... " Shen Hui'e blinked. How should I put this! "Simple likes and dislikes, and concepts of right and wrong"

"Very straightforward." Huang Zhongchang said with a smile, "It's all written on his face." He smiled and said, "He can tell the difference between good and bad. He has eyes to see."

"That's all." Shen Hui'e looked up at the bright sun in the sky, tugged at her collar, and took off her hat. "It's a little early this year!" She looked up at him and asked, "Aren't you sweating?"

"Out." Huang Zhongchang took off his dog-skin hat and scarf, then tucked them around his waist.

Seeing this, Shen Hui'e's mouth twitched. She was really casual. She looked at the ground under her feet and said, "Stop for a moment."

"What's wrong?" Huang Zhongchang stopped and said, pulling his jacket sleeve and wiping the sweat from his face with a grin.

Shen Hui'e bent down and grabbed a handful of soil, but she couldn't even make it into a ball.

"It will be fine if it rains." Huang Zhongchang stared at the soil in her hand.

"The key is that it won't rain." Shen Hui'e frowned and said, "It hasn't rained this year!"

"Spring rain is as precious as oil. It's normal that it doesn't rain!" Huang Zhongchang said to her with his dark eyes, looking at the blue sky without a trace of clouds. "Maybe it will rain in a few days."

"If the soil is not moist, the corn will not sprout after being planted!" Shen Hui'e said to him with a frown.

"Then let's carry water to irrigate the fields!" Huang Zhongchang said simply and cheerfully.

"What if the drought continues?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and clear eyes.

"Dig a canal and bring the water here." Huang Zhongchang said without thinking.

"Why is the river water level too low?" Shen Hui'e pursed her lips and looked at him and said.

"Uh..." Huang Zhongchang smacked his lips and looked at her and said, "We can only carry water." He looked at her with his black eyes and said cleverly, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Shen Hui'e smiled when she heard this, looked at him with her clear and bright eyes and said, "Waterwheel."

"What is that used for?" Huang Zhongchang came over and asked humbly.

"Carry the water to a higher place for irrigation." Shen Hui'e held the plow handle, lifted her foot, and knocked the dirt out of her straw sandals.

"When you were building the imperial mausoleum, how did you carry the stones or beams upward?" Shen Hui'e looked at him without blinking and said, "Lifting it up, it's okay if it's low, but what if it's too high?"

"The earth pile is big and everyone carries it uphill." Huang Zhongchang thought for a moment and said, "Use pulleys to go straight up and down!" He stared at her intently and said, "I understand what you want to say, but how do we do it?"

"It's OK as long as you understand. Leave the rest to me. Now I have a legitimate reason to be your master." Shen Hui'e smiled brightly and said, "We'll go find Liu Ding in the evening."

"Ask him to make the waterwheel you mentioned?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with deep eyes and said.

"Hmm!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile and said, "You have to play a supporting role."

"Oh..." Huang Zhongchang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and responded meaningfully.

"What do you mean?" Shen Hui'e said to him with her eyes slightly narrowed.

"Beg me!" Huang Zhongchang pointed at himself and said in a mean way.

"You're looking for a beating!" Shen Hui'e said with a smile at him.
