Pig Killer

Chapter 204

The Huang brothers and the Shen brothers were both there. When they saw Shen Hui'e and the others coming over, they immediately came over to greet them.

"Sister-in-law!" Huang Bochang bowed to her.

"Uncle, uncle." Da Chong and Li Nu looked at them and saluted.

"Be good!" Shen Changsheng said to them with gentle eyes.

"Let's talk while we do it and don't block them." Shen Hui'e said, pointing under the big tree.

"Yeah!" They turned and walked under the big tree.

"How is it? There was no major conflict!" Shen Hui'e asked Huang Bochang with clear eyes.

"No, we shouted: 'Open the warehouse and release the grain,' and they calmed down and lined up here obediently." Huang Bochang looked at her gently and smiled, "Grain is still the most attractive thing."

"Is there no resistance?" Shen Hui'e looked at him inquiringly with her eyebrows raised.

“Yes! They were shot dead.” Huang Bochang said expressionlessly, “Some were smashing and looting things, bullying women, and they didn’t listen after being shouted at, so they were shot dead.” He then added, “Then they all behaved themselves.”

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e nodded slightly and then asked, "Have you found out their identities?"

"We checked." Huang Bochang said immediately after hearing this, "They are all idlers who steal and cheat. They are not good people and are not welcomed in the village."

"Put their bodies in front of the county government office and make public their evil deeds one by one." Shen Hui'e said with a gleam in her deep black eyes, "Then bury them in peace."

"I understand." Huang Bochang nodded in understanding.

Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and asked, "Where are the county magistrate and his men?"

"The first place they attacked was the county government office. The county magistrate's family and all the people who were in the county government office at that time are all gone." Huang Bochang said with great regret, with no sadness or joy in his eyes.

"Bury them as soon as possible and let them rest in peace!" Shen Hui'e said without thinking.

"What's next?" Shen Changsheng looked at her and asked.

"Farming!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark, bright eyes and said, "It's time to plant winter wheat." Her eyes were bright as she said, "We can't miss the farming season." Suddenly she remembered, "Is there any wheat in the granary?"

"Yes!" Huang Bochang raised his palm to the corner of his lips and said, "A lot, a lot, it seems that the wheat harvested in summer has not been handed in."

Shen Hui'e looked at him straight in the eyes when she heard this, "Really? False?"

"I'm not lying to you, seriously." Huang Bochang looked at her with his dark eyes and said seriously, "I checked every sack."

"Sack?" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and said, "It won't get moldy, will it?"

Huang Bochang's pupils trembled when he heard this, and he ran towards the granary.

"Will it really get moldy?" Shen Changsheng looked at her worriedly.

"It's hard to say. It's hot and stuffy in the summer, and the wheat will be covered up. If it rains again..." Shen Hui'e hurried towards the granary.

"Huh..." The big bug was shocked by the food in front of him, "So much?"

"What's more? One cent is gone." Shen Hui'e looked at the bags of food with her deep black eyes and said, "It's impossible to eat white flour buns every day."

Shen Hui'e looked at the grain piled high off the ground and said, "It shouldn't get moldy if it's this high!"

"It's hard to say. It's stuffy here." Shen Changsheng walked over and stood behind them and said.

Shen Hui'e sniffed and said, "I don't think I smell any musty smell."

The big bug also took a deep breath and said, "No! But it doesn't smell very good. It smells dry."

Huang Bochang climbed onto the top of the barn and sniffed each of the sacks one by one, and his heart finally settled down a little.

"Carry some of the wheat out and distribute it to everyone as seeds." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep and penetrating eyes.

"I'll arrange it right away." Huang Bochang responded happily from above and climbed down the ladder.

"Sister-in-law, what's next?" Huang Bochang looked at her with burning eyes.

"Winter training!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her clear eyes and said, "After the winter wheat is planted, young and strong men in the county should be organized to train!"

"Understood!" Huang Bochang said immediately after hearing this, "Protect our homeland." Then he added, "Whether it's against bandits or troops sent by the imperial court, we must be able to resist."

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e smiled and nodded slightly, "Even if we join that faction in the future, we still need to be strong and not let others underestimate us." She snorted and said, "There are many people in this world who look down on others."

"Is it just the content of the training?" Huang Bochang scratched his head and looked at her.

"Didn't Da Chong's grandfather serve as a soldier when he was young? Just ask him!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with her eyes moving.

"Yes! How could I have forgotten about this?" Huang Bochang clapped his hands and said when he heard this.

"As for weapons, every household has a big knife, right? A big knife for cutting ears of grain and wheat." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her shiny black eyes and said, "Practice chopping and killing! Practice swinging the knife."

"Got it." Huang Bochang nodded hurriedly.

"We don't force people to join the army!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Quality is more important than quantity." She raised her index finger and said, "Only one person in a family is allowed to join the army."

"Shouldn't the more the better?" Huang Bochang looked at her in confusion and asked.

"You have to leave a brother at home to take care of the women, children and the elderly." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her clear and bright eyes and said, "It's the same for the imperial court to join the army! Each family must send one person, and the only son in the family will be exempted."

"We don't know about that." Huang Bochang shook his head slightly.

"Ask Da Chong's grandfather and start practicing like this first!" Shen Hui'e said to him with her bright black eyes.

"I'll ask my father later." Huang Bochang nodded with a smile, "Thanks to my sister-in-law, we really don't understand any of this."

"How do you remember the account book?" Shen Hui'e asked suddenly.

"I remember it very clearly, Master Zhubu." Shen Changsheng said after hearing this, "Do you have any questions?"

"I'm afraid that if we remember the ghost drawings, we won't be able to understand them." Shen Hui'e said worriedly.

"The account book is recorded very neatly." Shen Changsheng looked at her with a smile on his face and said, "Speaking of the account book, I remembered, what should I do with the county government?"

"What should we do?" Shen Hui'e looked at him and asked, not quite understanding.

"Now that the county magistrate and his family are gone, the county government office is empty." Shen Changsheng said to him with his head slightly tilted.

"If it's gone, it's gone! The people from the county government are only seen when they are collecting taxes, and they are not seen at other times." Huang Bochang said straightforwardly, "We can take care of ourselves."

"Uh..." Shen Changsheng hesitated and looked at them and said, "What if someone dies, or there is a dispute and the government is needed?"

"Let's follow the old calendar first." Shen Hui'e said to them with her clear eyes.

"As long as we can farm peacefully, why would there be so many problems?" Huang Bochang said to his elder brother-in-law with his black eyes flashing, "Besides, all those idlers, ruffians and scoundrels were shot this time. It will be much quieter without them." His eyebrows jumped slightly and he said, "If there is really a problem, there are laws! We will act according to the rules."

"Then I have nothing to say." Shen Changsheng smiled and said, "After receiving the food and seeds, let's plant the land quickly."

"Yeah! Being able to farm peacefully makes me feel at ease." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her crystal clear eyes and said, "With food in hand, there is no need to worry!"

"Yeah!" Huang Bochang nodded hurriedly, "It's much more reliable."

"What about the remaining wheat? I see a lot of it." Huang Bochang pointed to the piles of wheat in the barn and said, "Several barns are like this."

"Give them food and money!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with a clear and penetrating look and said, "Why should they follow you into battle and kill the enemy? The emperor doesn't want hungry soldiers."

"I understand!" Huang Bochang nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

"What about taxes from now on?" Shen Changsheng looked at them with his dark eyes and said, "We will collect them according to the previous rules."

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e nodded as she looked at them with her sparkling eyes, and pointed with her index finger, "Put away the account books of the number of acres of land and the population."

"I know!" Huang Bochang looked at them with his bright eyes and said, "I have arranged for someone to pack it and put it away."

Shen Hui'e suddenly remembered and said, "That greedy county magistrate must have a lot of stuff at home!"

"I haven't seen this yet!" Huang Bochang was stunned when he heard this, and then said.

"Search out the gold, silver and treasures, register them and use them as military pay." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "As for how to reward the military merits, you can go back and ask Da Chong's grandfather."

"I understand." Huang Bochang nodded vigorously after hearing this.

"That's it for now! Focus on growing winter wheat." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "If there are any problems, we will find solutions."

"Uh-huh!"

After the granaries were opened and the grain was released, the farmers received the wheat seeds and went down to the fields to plow and sow.

Compared to the spring sowing season, when the fields were dead and lifeless, now the people in the fields are full of energy and walk with a breeze.

Tired of plowing the fields, Da Chong sat on the edge of the field and looked at the farmers working in the fields and said with emotion, "I didn't expect to recover so quickly." He picked up the coarse earthenware bowl and took a sip of water.

"As long as they can farm peacefully, everyone is very docile." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "They are very well behaved!"

"My mother speaks like a child." Da Chong said with a smile while looking at his mother.

"Silly boy, love the people like your own children!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with eyes as gentle as jade.

"What's next?" asked the raccoon curiously.

"It depends on the situation!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as black as black jade and said, "Go with the flow! Take advantage of the situation!"

"Don't quite understand?" Da Chong asked her with his pure eyes.

"To put it simply, if the imperial court suppresses other rebels, then we will just farm honestly." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as black as black jade and said, "If the Central Plains is full of war, then we will expand our territory!"

"Those rebels must hold on." The big bug looked at her with sparkling eyes and said.

"The protruding rafters will rot first. They won't be able to hold on for long." Shen Hui'e said to him with her clear eyes shining.
