Pig Killer

Chapter 228

"Of course we can't not have children." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright eyes and said, "Then we should find a way to increase the yield per mu. If we can survive this year or so, it means we can increase our grain production. Even if we have to eat bran or vegetables, we can still have something to eat. We won't have to chew on tree bark or dig up grass roots."

"I heard that from my elder brother and the others." Huang Zhongchang nodded slightly, "And if you make money, you can use it to pay taxes." He smiled and said, "You can increase the yield per mu by raising more pigs."

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile.

"Is it not possible to reclaim the land?" Huang Zhongchang said after thinking it over carefully.

"It takes three generations to open up a piece of land, but only one year to raise pigs." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said.

"To raise pigs, you need to have enough piglets! What are you raising without piglets?" Huang Zhongchang kindly reminded her.

"Then let the pigs give birth!" Shen Hui'e said simply and easily.

"Just give birth if you say so!" Huang Zhongchang looked at her unhappily and said.

"I let it..." Shen Hui'e slammed on the brakes and looked at the children. It was not a good idea to say this in front of them.

"What did you say?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her who stopped talking in the middle of her words.

"Nothing?" Shen Hui'e said without blushing or panting, "Put the sow and the boar together and let them give birth!"

"Your current yield per mu is over 200 kilograms. Is there no upper limit to this yield per mu?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her curiously and asked.

Shen Hui'e looked up at him in surprise. This was a very thoughtful question.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Huang Zhongchang blinked his bright black eyes and looked at her and said, "It's impossible that the yield per mu is 1,000 or 10,000 kilograms! You can't even brag like that!"

"Haha..." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed. Synthetic starch really exists! Working at full capacity, it is not affected by the weather. You can produce as much as you want.

"Don't laugh! Did I say something wrong?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with some embarrassment at the laughter.

"I'm not laughing anymore." Shen Hui'e looked at him with eyes as gentle as jade and said, "You're right, there is an upper limit to the yield per mu."

"Since there is an upper limit, what should we do?" Huang Zhongchang said as he walked.

"Let's see if there are any high-yield crops." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright eyes.

"High-yield crops?" Huang Zhongchang slowed down his pace and looked at her without blinking. "Are there any? I haven't seen any."

"The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright eyes and said, "Just because we haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Her beautiful eyes turned around and around, "There are always people who are better than you, and there are always mountains beyond you."

"How do I find this?" Huang Zhongchang scratched his head in confusion.

"Don't worry, take your time to look." Shen Hui'e looked at him with compassion and said, "I don't know how long it will take for the world to be at peace."

"Uh..." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his clear black eyes, which were dull and lifeless. "It can't be this chaotic forever. It will definitely be peaceful."

"I know." Shen Hui'e blinked her clear eyes and looked at him and said, "We are not in a hurry, let's take our time to look for it! This child is not a big eater right after he is born, it takes time to grow. The population does not increase all of a sudden either."

"That's right!" Huang Zhongchang said with a smile.

Da Chong and Li Nu looked at each other and watched their father and mother smiling foolishly.

"What are you two laughing at?" Shen Hui'e said with the corner of her eye, looking at the giggling brother and sister.

"Nothing?" The brother and sister shook their heads in unison.

"What's so weird?" Huang Zhongchang looked at them with his bright dark eyes.

"I didn't do anything strange!" The big tiger looked at him with its black eyes and said.

"You little rascals." Shen Hui'e looked at them lovingly and said.

"Mother, how are you going to compare with them?" The raccoon slave asked curiously, looking at her with eyes like black grapes.

"Let's compete in boxing and kicking." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "The soldiers have many swords in their hands, let's compete in swords."

"Mother, mother, swords and knives have no eyes." The cat slave looked at her worriedly and said.

"Then let's use a wooden stick. That will work!" Shen Hui'e thought for a moment and said, "The stick can sweep a large area."

"Stick?" The big tiger looked at her with its big round eyes.

"Yes! The stick is the most primitive weapon. When we go to the streets to beg for food, we have to hold a dog-beating stick in our hands." Shen Hui'e chuckled.

"Dog beating stick." The cat slave looked at her and said with a smile.

"Stick!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her gentle eyes and said, "The short one is called a stick, the long one is called a cudgel. The one that reaches the chest is a stick, and the one that reaches the eyebrows is a cudgel." She stretched out her hand and gestured.

Shen Hui'e looked at them gently and said, "The stick is the most primitive weapon. A person who doesn't know how to use fists or feet will use a stick at will when he encounters danger. The stick is so common as a weapon that it is the ancestor of all weapons."

"This statement is very novel!" Huang Zhongchang said in surprise.

"The gun is the king of all weapons, the sword is the lord of all weapons, and the knife is the commander of all weapons." Shen Hui'e said as she walked.

"Then which one of them is the most powerful?" The raccoon slave asked her with his bright eyes.

"There's no need to compare them. Whether they are powerful or not depends on the people who use them." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her crystal clear eyes and said, "If the people who use them are powerful, even picking up a branch is powerful. If the people who use them are not powerful, even a sword or a knife that can cut hair is useless."

"Good weapons can only add wings to a tiger!" Shen Hui'e flicked her finger on the tiger's head and laughed.

"I understand." The big tiger responded obediently.

"Dad, are there any sticks in the camp? Why can't I see any?" The cat slave suddenly remembered and looked at him and asked.

"If you have a spear, just remove the spear head." Huang Zhongchang said simply and easily after hearing this.

"Mother, mother, you have never played with a stick!" said the cat slave worriedly, grabbing her hand.

"I know how to use a sword! Mastering one weapon is a skill that can help you with anything." Shen Hui'e smiled and raised the corners of her lips when she heard that.

"Knife? The big knife we ​​use to cut ears of corn?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her puzzledly and asked.

"No! I've never played that before. What I'm playing with is a big knife for killing pigs." Li Nu looked at him with innocent eyes and said.

"Can this big knife be the same as the big blade knife?" Huang Zhongchang looked at them in surprise.

"Why are they different? For me, knowing one means knowing everything." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "There are only a few types of sword techniques, and the rest just requires proficiency and the ever-changing use of them." She added calmly, "I won't tell you anymore, you'll see it in a while." She raised her eyes and looked far ahead at the rows of barracks hidden in the mountains and forests.

"Is it okay to live here?" Shen Hui'e asked with concern, "It's a bit far from the city, so it's not very convenient to buy things."

"What do we have to buy?" Huang Zhongchang was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and shook his head, "Everyone stays at home in the middle of winter! No one in the city comes out anymore."

"How many people are there now?" Shen Hui'e asked him, tilting her head slightly.

"With the people I brought back and those from my fellow villagers who have joined us, there are now five thousand people." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his dark eyes and said.

"Are there so many people in our county?" Shen Hui'e looked at him in disbelief.

Huang Zhongchang raised his palm to the corner of his lips and whispered, "There are men from other counties here."

"This?" Shen Hui'e frowned slightly and looked at him and said, "No one has sneaked in, right?" She gave him a look that said you know what happened.

Huang Zhongchang shook his head and laughed, "No!"

"Are you so sure?" Shen Hui'e said with her ink-black eyes as she looked at him confidently.

"Many of them were introduced by my elder brother and his friends." Huang Zhongchang looked at her and said with a smile.

"Da Chong's uncle?" Shen Hui'e asked, looking at him with curved eyebrows.

"My eldest brother is in the ceiling business, so he knows the situation in other counties better." Huang Zhongchang said with a smile on his face, "And the Xiong brothers castrate pigs, so they know a lot of farmers." He smiled and said, "In short, they know all the farmers in the seventh and eighth companies."

This is 'guaranteed', Shen Hui'e complained in her heart.

Huang Zhongchang looked at her cautiously with his dark eyes and said, "Don't worry."

"Be careful and you will be safe." Shen Hui'e looked up at him and said, "Money can make people's hearts change." She added coldly, "There is no betrayal because the price is not enough."

"That will have to wait until we become a threat to them." Huang Zhongchang looked at her gently and said, "We are too weak to be on the stage now."

"Make a fortune quietly." Shen Hui'e smiled and said, "The protruding rafters will rot first. This is good."

Huang Zhongchang chuckled and said, "I think there are many civilians who need to build the imperial mausoleum and palace! We, several thousand people, have to be on their list!"

"Hehe..." Shen Hui'e chuckled and asked curiously, "How many civilians are there?"

"According to Mr. Zhang's estimate, it will be around four or five hundred thousand!" Huang Zhongchang said, looking at the yellowing forest with his dark eyes.

"Hiss..." The big bug and the raccoon took a deep breath and said in unison, "So many?"

"It was purely manpower. This palace was indeed built with people." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them calmly.

"How big a palace would this require?" the big insect said to them with a stern face.

"Just like a mountain!" Huang Zhongchang said, smacking his lips.

The raccoon tilted his head and thought for a while, "I can't imagine it."

"You'll know when you see it." Shen Hui'e said to the silly girl with her gentle eyes.

"If all these people were allowed back home to farm, how much food would they produce?" The tiger said with emotion as he looked at them.

Huang Zhongchang looked at him in astonishment and said, "Why do you think so?"

"The people who work in the fields are the elderly, the weak, women and children." The tiger frowned and said, "Men are rare." He smiled and said, "My mother's face droops when she mentions farming."

"I don't like farming!" Huang Zhongchang said to him gently.

"I don't like it. I really don't like it. Farming is too tiring. Farmers have no idle people. But we can't not farm." The big tiger wrinkled his upturned nose and looked at him and shook his head fiercely, saying, "If we don't farm, we won't have anything to eat. Food is the most important thing for people." He puffed up his cheeks and said angrily, "The most annoying thing is that after working hard for a whole year, we can't even eat a white flour bun."
