Pig Killer

Chapter 222

"We haven't even seen this, how can we guess it?" Huang Zhongchang urged anxiously, "Hurry up and tell us, don't keep us in suspense."

"This is pig bristles for brushing teeth." The big tiger looked at them obediently and said.

"Don't tell me this thing called pig pancreas is also related to pigs." Zhang Jixian said, pointing at the pig pancreas in his hand.

"Yes, it's made from pig kidneys, with some rouge and powder added, so it smells good." Da Chong announced happily.

"The whole body of a pig is a treasure. Pig feces can also be used to fertilize the soil and increase grain yield per mu." Shen Hui'e said to them with her bright eyes.

"The pork is delicious!" said the cat slave, slurping his saliva.

"Toothbrushes are useful to ordinary people, but pig pancreas can be sold to the rich and powerful." The big tiger looked at them with his black eyes and said.

"Although these ideas are good, they must be implemented in a stable environment." Zhang Jixian hesitated and looked at them and said, "We have to raise pigs!"

"We can raise pigs ourselves! Only with meat can the soldiers have strength, otherwise they can't even swing their swords." Shen Hui'e said, looking at them with her black pupils.

"This is farming and raising pigs at the same time." Zhang Jixian's mouth twitched and said, "No other army has this."

"Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "If you don't want to be controlled by others, you must do this. It solves the problem of food and salary."

"That's true." Huang Zhongchang looked up at him and said.

"But these are not necessities! You don't have to buy them. It's so difficult now, and we have to hold on to our money. We won't spend money unnecessarily." Zhang Jixian raised the most fatal point, "Where do you get the money for salary?"

"That makes sense." Huang Zhongchang nodded slightly.

Da Chong and Li Nu both looked at Huang Zhongchang with their eyes wide open.

"Why are you looking at me? I didn't say anything wrong!" Huang Zhongchang blinked his black eyes and looked at them and said, "This is not a cold shower."

"When it comes to necessities of life, it's salt." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a raised eyebrow and said, "Every household and every person needs it."

Zhang Jixian was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "We can't get salt." After thinking for a while, he said, "This thing is controlled by the court. Although the court's control is reduced now, you have to know how to make salt. Even if you know how to make salt, you still need salt mines to mine it."

"We still have to start with the rich and powerful." Huang Zhongchang looked at them with his dark eyes and said, "All forces should hold the butcher knife to their necks, want money or life." He looked at his wife with scorching eyes and said, "Use Madam's method to keep us out of it. They deserve it, and let the people vent their anger."

Zhang Jixian looked at him with his dark eyes and said, "Until there is no better way, this is the only way for now."

"Now we have the troops and we have found a solution to the problem of food and pay, but where are the weapons?" Zhang Jixian looked at the two of them with his dark eyes and said, "We can't fight them barehanded without weapons!"

"Every household in our country has a big sword, and we can also make some arrows. As to whether they will be enough, it is hard to say now." Shen Hui'e said to them with her glassy eyes.

"Big knife?" Zhang Jixian raised his eyebrows and looked at her and said, "What kind of knife is it?"

"Cut the ears of wheat and corn." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her ink-black eyes.

"I'll get it." Da Chong went to the wing room excitedly, and when he came out, he had a big knife in his hand.

"Is this okay?" Da Chong picked up the big knife and placed it on the wooden table.

Zhang Jixian lifted up the sword and said, "It's heavy!" He was surprised. It was as wide as his palm and as long as his arm. It was black all over. He touched the blade carefully with the tip of his thumb and said, "This blade is a bit blunt."

"As long as we can cut wheat and corn ears, it's better to be blunt. If it's too sharp, I'm afraid I'll hurt myself." Shen Hui'e looked at him with eyes like black jade and said, "This can also hurt lives." Then she added, "If you think it's not suitable, you can sharpen it or remake it."

"I remember my brother-in-law is a blacksmith! This is very simple and easy." Huang Zhongchang said simply and easily.

"Blacksmithing is very tiring. It's not just one or two pieces. These are hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of pieces. You can't finish them even if you die of exhaustion!" Zhang Jixian said, looking at him naively.

"Is there anyone among you who is good at blacksmithing?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark pupils and said, "Gather them together and attack them. It will speed up the process."

"Yes!" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with sparkling eyes and said, "I know someone who is a blacksmith."

"That's it." Shen Hui'e looked at them calmly and said, "Register them again and record what they are good at, such as whether they can do carpentry work. We can make bows and arrows ourselves, and those who can forge iron can make arrows."

"I'll arrange it." Zhang Jixian's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"Have you prepared this?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her curiously and asked, pointing his index finger at the big knife on the wooden table.

Shen Hui'e looked at him with amusement and said, "I'm not a god who can predict the future. These are farm tools. Do you know what farm tools are?"

"Even the plowshares use more iron than before." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her clear eyes and said, "If there is not enough iron, I will take it out and melt it to make weapons. There is also the big iron pot at home and other iron tools."

"How can you live and farm like this?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with some emotion.

"You're already dead, what's the point of keeping these?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her clear eyes and said, "I can tell the priorities! In the face of survival, everything else has to stand aside." She snorted and said, "Who doesn't want to live a stable life, but reality doesn't allow it."

Shen Hui'e looked at them calmly and said, "At most, we can go back to the clay pot and cook!"

"It depends on the situation!" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his deep black eyes and said, he stood up with his hands on the table and said, "Let's go." He looked at Zhang Jixian and said, "Let's go!"

"I'll see you off." Shen Hui'e and the others sent them both out.

"Dad, can I go with you?" The big tiger looked at him hopefully with its dark eyes.

"Let's go!" Huang Zhongchang looked at him gently and said.

"I want to go too. I want to go too." Li Nu reached out and took his father's warm and rough hand.

"Okay! Let's all go, let's all go." Huang Zhongchang said with a gentle smile.

"We promise not to interrupt and we will behave well." The big insect looked at him with round eyes and said, "Listen more, watch more, and study hard."

"Okay!" Huang Zhongchang said with an increasingly gentle look in his eyes.

"I thought you would refuse." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

"Even if you refuse, they will sneak over. It's better to stay with you." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "They will never be able to go back to the age of climbing trees to take bird eggs or going to the river to catch fish."

"Alas..." Zhang Jixian looked at the children with deep emotion and said, "We are forced to grow up. We are no longer young and carefree."

"Be my accountant." Huang Zhongchang joked with a smile.

"I promise to do my best." The big tiger stood straight and said loudly.

"Okay, okay!" Huang Zhongchang looked at him tenderly and said, "Let's go."

"Go!" Shen Hui'e watched them leave.

Are you so relieved? Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his dark eyes.

"Why are you looking at me?" Shen Hui'e looked at him in confusion and asked.

"I'm taking my son away." Huang Zhongchang looked at her without blinking and said deliberately.

"What's wrong? Doesn't Da Chong want to go with us? I agree!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with her pure eyes reflecting his figure. How could his little thoughts escape her eyes?

"Alive!" Shen Hui'e gave him two words.

Huang Zhongchang was speechless. He didn't know what would happen tomorrow, and he didn't even know if he would be alive. Why did he think so much?

"Let's go." Huang Zhongchang took the two children and followed Zhang Jixian.

Shen Hui'e watched them leave before turning back to the yard.

I took inventory of all the ironware in the house and decided to send them all upstairs.

&*&

The forces that took the lead in resisting the imperial court were suppressed. After the news spread, the county became very quiet!

It was eerily quiet. I dared not even breathe or make any loud noise when walking.

"Mother of Da Chong, are you here?" Huang's mother hurried in and shouted at the top of her voice.

"I'm here, I'm here." Shen Hui'e lifted the curtain and walked out of the main room. "Why are you here?" She lifted the curtain and said, "Sit inside, it's cold outside." Looking at the gloomy sky, she said, "It might rain."

Huang's mother stepped over the threshold, walked into the room, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said angrily, "Do you think our second son is stupid?"

"Where do you come from? It's so nonsensical." Shen Hui'e looked at her in confusion and asked.

"Don't you know what the situation is now? Can't we let them all go and go back to their own homes?" Huang's mother said with a dark face, slamming the table.

"What do you mean?" Shen Hui'e said deliberately with her ink-black eyes flashing.

"Don't you know?" Huang's mother looked at her in surprise and said, "The government troops suppressed those who rebelled against the imperial court and killed everyone. I heard that the blood flowed like a river!"

"I know this." Shen Hui'e nodded when she heard this.

"You know?" Huang's mother suddenly raised her voice, "You knew, but you still let him be the leader!" She slammed the table and said, "Have you forgotten about your imprisonment? Did you spend some time in jail because the second son led the escape from the imperial mausoleum?"

"I know!" Shen Hui'e looked at her calmly and said, "I support his decision."

"There's really no time to hide from this, why are you still supporting it!" Huang's mother half stood up and touched her forehead with her hand, "It's not a fever!"

"I'm not sick, and I'm not talking nonsense! I'm serious." Shen Hui'e smiled and took her rough hand away. She looked at her without blinking and said, "What do the other people in the family mean?"
