Pig Killer

Chapter 221

"What's the use of studying?" Da Chong said without thinking, and then he said with a smile, "My mother also said that if you study hard, you can get an official position or something."

"We said it was impossible at the time." The raccoon looked at them with her big eyes and said, "Those who can become officials are all from noble families. We common people can forget about it." She raised her chin and said proudly, "Why? The nobles have been officials for generations! Why can't we? Are we so bad?"

The tiger chuckled and said, "My mother said that officials are born." Then he added, "It is hereditary."

"So what were you going to do?" Huang Zhongchang asked curiously.

"Buy a position! Money talks. Having an official position, even if it's a minor one, can protect our family property." Shen Hui'e said simply and easily, "But this plan can't keep up with the changes."

"Are you always so blunt in your words?" Zhang Jixian clenched his fist and coughed twice.

"The imperial court is selling official positions. How can I say nothing about it?" Shen Hui'e rolled her eyes and said.

"Why do I want to train talents myself? It's to break the rule that nobles have been officials for generations. Even if he is as dumb as a pig, his parents can still be officials because of their noble birth and bully the people." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her crystal clear eyes and said, "Running water does not rot, and door hinges do not rot. Only in this way can we have vitality and strive to be the best." Then she added, "To put it simply, the capable ones will be promoted and the mediocre ones will be demoted! The court also recruits talents! Isn't that what it means?"

Zhang Jixian stared at her in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

Huang Zhongchang looked at her with sparkling eyes, "I sometimes think so too. Why? The army has a system of military merit and honors, but civil servants don't have one." He looked up at the county government office and said, "I have never been to the county government office in my life. I have never seen the county magistrate!" He raised his voice and said, "Not even once."

"Military merit is clear. The more people you kill, the more military merit you will get." Zhang Jixian found his voice and said, "This civil servant can't even read a single word."

"That's why we have to learn! We can learn farming, law, mathematics, and everything else." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "We can give millions of common people a way to rise up. They don't have to be trapped on the land all their lives, facing the loess and back to the sky."

"You are so fanciful. I have never heard of it before." Zhang Jixian looked at her like she was crazy and said, "You are so bold! Everyone relies on the nobles to govern the country."

"Why are you so anxious?" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "Why did I dig up their ancestral graves? I cut off their rights and changed into official uniforms to continue to be nobles, riding on the heads of the common people and bullying them!" She tilted her head, "The world is in chaos, we are all rebelling and turning the tables, so of course they have my way."

"They will resist fiercely, and their combined strength should not be underestimated." Zhang Jixian kindly reminded her.

Shen Hui'e stroked her chin with her index finger and said, "Son, do you want to have a chance to become an official? Officials are all from aristocratic families, and they have been officials for generations. You don't have any chance!"

"Of course I hope to be an official. I will study very hard to achieve that goal." The big tiger said loudly with his small chest puffed out.

"Don't ask where a hero comes from." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with warm eyes.

"If you give them this opportunity, they will follow you desperately and fight for their descendants." Huang Zhongchang said to her with shining eyes.

"Yes! The sacrifices and efforts of one generation are all for the life progress and growth of the next generation." Shen Hui'e said to them with clear eyes.

"Isn't it to confer titles on your wife and provide blessings for your sons?" Zhang Jixian said, looking at her with his dark eyes.

"How many generations has your family been here?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile and asked, "As the old saying goes: wealth does not last for more than three generations."

"Uh..." Zhang Jixian pursed his lips and said nothing.

"What do you mean? Is it difficult to answer?" Shen Hui'e looked at him leisurely with clear eyes and asked.

Huang Zhongchang looked at him with his dark eyes and asked, "If you are embarrassed to say it, I will say it for you. What is there to be said?"

"For two generations, my father was the prime minister." Zhang Jixian took a deep breath and looked at him and said.

"Before your father became the prime minister, it must have taken several generations of hard work." Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes.

"That's true." Zhang Jixian nodded when he heard it.

"Just because you have given your wife a title and your son a fortune, you really think you can sit back and relax. But you are relying on your father's merits and abusing your power. Sooner or later you will be doomed." Shen Hui'e snorted.

"As for the nobles you mentioned, there are so many bullshit things!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and bottomless eyes and said, "The power in their hands allows them to do whatever they want. You should understand clearly that there is nothing illegal here." She looked at him with a smile and said, "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the people!"

"Ahem..." Zhang Jixian was so shocked that he kept coughing. He stopped coughing and said in a hoarse voice, "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the people! That's all a lie. Anyone who believes it is a fool."

"I know! It depends on who has the execution power." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and dark eyes and said, "I can make it a reality."

"Are you serious?" Zhang Jixian looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Why are you so surprised?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with a raised eyebrow and said, "Do you know what we hate the most?" She raised her index finger and said, "Corrupt officials." She said bluntly, "Let me put it this way! If we kill all the corrupt officials in this world one by one, there may be some who are wrongly accused. If we kill every other one, there will definitely be some who slip through the net."

"It will be very difficult for you to stand against the nobles like this?" Zhang Jixian looked at her with embarrassment.

"Do you think there are more nobles or more commoners?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her clear and bright eyes.

"Isn't this simply a matter of number of people?" Zhang Jixian looked at her with a mixed feeling of laughter and tears.

"This world belongs to everyone in the world." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her bright eyes.

"You?" Zhang Jixian's dark eyes widened as he heard this. "Aren't you afraid that someone will rebel against you one day if you say this?"

"It's only been two years since the late emperor passed away! When he was alive, he was still thinking about eternal glory! But what about now?" Shen Hui'e looked at him leisurely with bright eyes and asked, "The whole world is already in flames of war."

Zhang Jixian gave a bitter smile upon hearing this and had nothing to say.

"Why was the late emperor able to destroy other countries and unify the world?" Shen Hui'e suddenly asked.

"This topic is too big to be finished in three days and three nights." Zhang Jixian was stunned when he heard it, and then he said casually, "In general, we have to talk about the efforts of several generations."

"Because he wiped out the nobles and mobilized everyone's enthusiasm." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her glazed eyes.

"Everyone is working for the war." Huang Zhongchang said with his dark eyes moving gently.

"Pa..." Shen Hui'e clapped her hands and looked at him with a smile on her face, "That's right, everyone is a soldier."

Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Huang Zhongchang and said, "It is more difficult to maintain a business than to start one! If you can't train a qualified successor, it will sooner or later become the dust of history."

"Hey, hey!" Zhang Jixian looked at her anxiously with his index finger trembling.

"What's wrong with objective facts?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with her dark pupils gently rolling. "You should know this very well." She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Do you think I will confront them head-on?"

"Then what are you going to do?" Zhang Jixian looked at her curiously.

Shen Hui'e's deep, clear eyes rolled around, her red lips parted slightly, and she slowly uttered four words, "Beat the drum to appeal for justice."

"Hehe..." Zhang Jike was so shocked that he kept coughing, his eyes almost popped out of his head, and he stammered, "You...you..."

"Do we really need to do this ourselves?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile and said, "This is called getting rid of harm for the people!"

"You are so ruthless!" Zhang Jixian looked at her with bright eyes and said, clasping his hands together, "I admire you. I admire you."

They knew clearly that the common people who rushed into the government offices and the mansions of the nobles were like a flood that overwhelmed everything.

Zhang Jixian bit his lips tightly and stared at her without blinking.

"What are you looking at me for?" Shen Hui'e asked him with pure eyes, lowering her head to look at her sheepskin coat, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Aren't you afraid that one day all of this will be used on you?" Zhang Jixian said, staring at her without blinking his dark eyes.

"The current emperor, for his own selfish desires, disregards the people's livelihood, and is unscrupulous in levying additional grain and conscripting laborers, and finally gets backfired." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and bottomless eyes and said, "Do you really think you can do whatever you want as an emperor?" She pointed her index finger at the wooden table and said, "The incompetent emperors and tyrants recorded in the bamboo slips all have one thing in common, that is, they are selfish!" She snorted and said, "If you sit in this position, you must be dedicated to the public, love the people like your own children, be selfless, forgetful, and selfless. If you can't reach this level, give up this idea as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will lose your life sooner or later."

Zhang Jixian stared at her in astonishment, and after a long while he found his voice and asked, "Can you do it?"

"I'll try my best." Shen Hui'e said truthfully, "My selfish desires are not that strong!" She looked at him with bright eyes and said, "Besides, my desire is just to make myself live more comfortably and make money at the same time."

"This is just seeking personal gain!" Zhang Jixian said unkindly.

"Take a look at this private benefit first." Shen Hui'e looked at Da Chong and the others with eyes as gentle as jade and said, "Go and bring it to your father to have a look."

"What?" Huang Zhongchang looked at his son and asked.

"You'll know when you bring it here." Da Chong ran into the house excitedly and took the toothbrush and pig pancreas.

"What is this?" Huang Zhongchang asked them while holding two things.

"This toothbrush is for cleaning teeth." Da Chong gestured with his fingers while brushing teeth.

Huang Zhongchang sniffed, looked at the big, slippery thing and said, "It smells good."

"This pig pancreas can be used for washing hands, bathing, and washing clothes." The raccoon slave looked at them with eyes like black grapes and said, "Guess what they are made of?"
