Pig Killer

Chapter 347

"What did you say?" Huang Zhongchang said to Tie Feng with his eyes wide open.

"Plant trees!" Tie Feng said heavily.

"That's what Yu Luo said." Huang Zhongchang looked at his wife in surprise.

"Who else could it be other than him?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her glazed eyes and said, "I just didn't expect that they would adopt it! And act so quickly."

"The owner of the tavern said that there are seven necessities for opening a business: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea! Firewood comes first. Plant trees, and when the trees grow up, it will be easier for the elderly, the weak, women and children to chop firewood." Tie Feng said to them with his dark eyes.

"Ahem..." Da Chong coughed twice after hearing this, "They really are good at learning and applying what they have learned."

"Win people's hearts." Huang Zhongchang said as he looked at them with his dark eyes.

"That's for sure." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as clear as water and said, "One of them snatched the military power from someone else after his father died, while the other one held back his tears and put the people first. The difference is obvious."

"You can't say that. There are many people who are willing to humble themselves. They are from aristocratic families." Huang Zhongchang pursed his lips and said, "No matter what, they have the people in their hearts."

"It takes ten years to grow a tree. It will take a long time for this sapling to grow into a towering tree!" Shen Hui'e said unhappily, snorting, "Besides, what's the difference between the tavern owner's shouting and beating drums?"

"Yes! Yes!" The tiger nodded like a chick, "If it weren't advertised everywhere, it wouldn't be so abrupt. We can see it at a glance."

"You have seen it, but the common people cannot." Huang Zhongchang kindly reminded them.

Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as dark as ink and said, "We'll see later whether we're doing it or not. This kind of tree can't be planted this year and then not next year. It has to be planted every year, just like farming."

Huang Zhongchang stroked his forehead and said, "I can't guarantee that." His black and white eyes turned and said, "But General Yu is calm and steady, and he was not angered."

"There are so many old men here! They won't be stupid enough to confront the king head-on." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and said to him, "He is the king. It's safe for you, a young man, to be paired with an experienced and prudent general."

"What's wrong with the young man?" said the big tiger unconvinced.

"Young people are impulsive." Shen Hui'e said with a smile, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

"Then should we grow our beards?" Huang Zhongchang said, touching his smooth chin.

"Don't! A beard makes you look dirty, not fresh at all." Shen Hui'e said quickly, "A little stubble is fine, don't grow a full beard. Long beards are prone to fleas." Pointing at his chin, she said, "I don't want to see fleas jumping around in your beards while I'm talking."

"Eh!" Huang Zhongchang shuddered as he imagined the scene, with a look of disgust on his face, "Just show the stubble."

"You're still not strong enough. Why are you looking for a king?" Shen Hui'e said unhappily, "You've raised your ambitions and are really shooting yourself in the foot."

"The early recruitment of soldiers is indeed strong!" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with deep eyes and said, "The Yu family army now has 400,000 soldiers! It is comparable to the government army."

"Tsk..." Shen Hui'e rolled her eyes gracefully and said, "How many people can go to the battlefield? It's all exaggerated. Is it really that real?" She tapped the table with her index finger and said, "But now! A huge mountain has been erected in front of you. What are you going to do?"

"The other princes are also descendants of princes, or they are nobles. Anyway, their births are nobler than ours." Huang Zhongchang told the truth.

"Why do you look down on yourself?" Shen Hui'e said to him with raised eyebrows.

"Not really, I just feel they are not good enough..." Huang Zhongchang pursed his lips and thought for a while before saying, "How can I explain this? Not good enough... I just feel guilty, so why don't you do it yourself! Why do you have to find a king?"

"Because: we are given the mandate from Heaven, and we will live long and prosper forever!" Zhang Jixian said as he stood at the door and looked at them.

"Mr. Zhang, please come in quickly." Huang Zhongchang waved at him.

Zhang Jixian walked in and bowed, saying, "Mr. Huang, General Shen, General Tie."

"Uncle Zhang!" The tiger stood up and bowed.

"Be good!" Zhang Jixian looked at him politely with gentle eyes.

"Sit down, sit down and talk." Huang Zhongchang pointed to the wooden floor and said, "Sit anywhere."

Zhang Jixian sat cross-legged, "I heard from those who came back from the tavern that the king appointed a general to the Yu family army."

"Yes! We are talking about this! When the Yu family really started the uprising, they should have done it themselves. Why bother looking for a king? Now it's all right." Huang Zhongchang clapped his hands and said, "Why bother?"

"Maybe they think so too. The rebellion failed and they have a scapegoat." Shen Hui'e said bluntly.

"Cough cough..." Huang Zhongchang was so frightened that he kept coughing.

"Why are you so surprised? Don't you have this idea?" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at them and said, "Otherwise, you can do what we did and take the responsibility of life and death yourself."

"Haha..." Zhang Jixian shook his head and laughed, "Sister-in-law is right."

"Don't be afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes like glass beads and said, "You are timid in front and dare not raise your head, and you are unwilling to accept the victory later."

Zhang Jixian's eyes flickered when he heard this. This sister-in-law! She really speaks so bluntly!

Zhang Jixian thought for a moment and said to them, "Second brother doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but the others do."

"The king's power is granted by God!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with clear eyes.

"That's right. Not everyone can be the king." Zhang Jixian looked at them with his dark eyes and said, "The king's power comes entirely from God's grant."

"Bullshit!" Huang Zhongchang cursed, "If this power is really granted by God, why would it be given to a foolish and unjust person?"

"What they mean is that the royal power has nothing to do with us common people. You just need to continue to work like slaves and face the earth and back to the sky all your life." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and unfathomable eyes and said.

"Nonsense, if it really has nothing to do with us common people, then what about the dynasties that were overthrown in the past? How can you be so blind and not see it!" Huang Zhongchang said carelessly, "Why should we rebel instead of being honest?"

"So during those years, people at that time had a great ideological struggle and fight." Zhang Jixian looked at them gently and said.

"Uncle Zhang is talking about the letters of the ancient sages and saints." The tiger looked at him with its bright black eyes.

"That's right." Zhang Jixian looked at the tiger gently and said, "So these later people gave a reasonable explanation: that is, a king must be virtuous and have loyal ministers to assist him."
