"How long do you want to see so many bamboo slips?" Huang Shuchang couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the piles of bamboo slips on the table. This was only a part of it.
"No matter when you see it, you have to have an idea of it in your mind." Huang Zhongchang said, tapping the bamboo slips with his index finger.
"I won't keep you any longer. I'll just continue watching them quarrel." Huang Shuchang said excitedly.
"Hey! Write down the content of their quarrel so that you won't cheat later." Shen Hui'e reminded him.
Huang Shuchang's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he said, "Okay! You hold it!" He stood up, bowed, and then jumped out of the hall.
"You're already a father, yet you're still jumping around." Huang Zhongchang said lovingly, looking at his back.
"Even if he's a father, he's still your brother!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright eyes and said, "I can be so free and easy in front of you. It's because he has a good second brother!"
"Haha..." Huang Zhongchang shook his head and chuckled, then he put away the smile on his face and looked at her pointing at the bamboo slips and said, "Now I know how rich the emperor's family is."
"Now you know how easy it is to kill yourself!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with calm eyes.
"If people's hearts are scattered, nothing can be done." Huang Zhongchang looked at him with his dark eyes and said, "What's more, there are so many people with ulterior motives." He took a deep breath and said, "Now I understand the greatness of the old emperor, even though I was arrested and forced to repair the imperial mausoleum." He smiled and said, "Public is public, private is private."
"Hehe..." Shen Hui'e shook her head and smiled when she heard that.
"The kind of burning stone you mentioned seems to be found in Guanzhong as well." Huang Zhongchang said, pointing at the bamboo slips.
"I saw it, but it's extremely difficult to mine." Shen Hui'e said regretfully.
"Is it really as good as you say?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her in disbelief.
"Of course, it's better than you can imagine." Shen Hui'e looked at him with green eyes and said, "If we use the existing pure manpower mining, the mass production is too small." She pursed her lips and looked at him and said, "We have to find out if there is any open air."
"Rutian?" Huang Zhongchang blinked his dark eyes and looked at her and said, "Is that what I thought?"
"Almost the same, but it's easier than deep-buried mining." Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes and said, "It's not like you can just pick up the dirt on the surface of the ground."
"It's such a good thing. Copper and iron mines are very difficult to mine." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his dark eyes and said.
"This requires careful searching." Shen Hui'e said, looking at him with her deep and penetrating eyes.
"Once the world is pacified, we can organize people to look for him." Huang Zhongchang said as he looked at her with his clear black and white eyes.
"Is there any news from Central Plains?" Shen Hui'e asked, looking at him with her bright dark eyes.
"Not yet." Huang Zhongchang clenched his fist and said, "I don't know if the fight has started yet."
"It takes time to deploy troops." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her dark pupils and said, "I hope there will be news after the summer harvest."

The next day, it was time for the summer harvest. When the civil and military officials saw Mr. Huang leading his soldiers to harvest wheat with sickles, their jaws almost dropped in shock.
"What are you looking at? You should also go to the fields and harvest the wheat." Huang Shuchang said to them with his dark eyes.
"You're kidding, we have to go to the ground too."
"When have I ever been to the ground?"
"We don't keep idle people. If they don't work in the fields, they will starve." Huang Shuchang said to them with a smile.
"You dare?"
"Why don't we dare?" Huang Shuchang went down to the field with a sickle in his hand. "You have been so high and mighty for so long that you have forgotten that food is grown on the land, that it needs people to cultivate it, and that it needs people to harvest it." He snorted coldly, "What the farmers did, you have done too."
"Disgraceful to politeness!"
"It's insulting! Don't eat or drink." Huang Shuchang shouted loudly, "Oh! By the way, the mulberry and hemp used in these clothes are also grown. If you take off all your clothes for me later, it won't be insulting."
"You...you..." Their faces turned red and they were so angry that they were puffing their beards and glaring.
"What do you mean? If you want to have food to eat, just go to the fields and work honestly. Otherwise, you will starve." Huang Shuchang glanced at them and suddenly remembered, "If you work well, you will have white flour buns. If you don't work, you can continue to eat wild vegetable dumplings." After he finished speaking, he bent down and began to cut the wheat.
The civil and military officials who remain on the ridges of the fields look at each other and decide whether to do it or not!
"If you want to live, do it!"
"But I can't! I have never seen wheat in my life."
"Now I see it."
"Here it is! It is right before my eyes."
"But how can we collect it? What's that thing in his hand called? It's called... a sickle, and we don't know how to use it!"
"If that doesn't work, pull it out with your hands!"
"Yes!"
If you want to live, go to the fields and harvest the wheat! People went down to harvest the wheat one after another.
Even if they dared to use a sickle, Shen Hui'e didn't dare let them use it, because if they were not careful, they would cut their feet.
Just pull it out with your hands! It’s less harmful!
"Ouch! Ouch! What happened to my hand? It hurts!"
"It's a blister."
"Then do you want to pick it up?"
"Don't do that. It will be fine if you just wear out the calluses."
"When will this day end?"
"We don't know either. Either you tell us, or you keep doing it."
"Who knows what he's going to do to us?"
"Damn, it's worse than that day..."
"You're going to die! What did you do that day? Resist! Death is even more miserable!"
"Let's search, search, search. We managed to gather 50,000 troops, but they were annihilated by a single sentence. What can you do? Can you swing a knife or draw a bow?"
"What should I do? Damn, it's even more uncomfortable to cut the flesh with a blunt knife."
"Why don't you confess your crime? They advocate leniency for confession."
"I don't have anything to explain. I didn't do anything illegal."
"Ahem...no one would believe that."
"With your family's land deed, you've occupied good farmland, embezzled and accepted bribes, can you get away with it?"
"It's the same for everyone. I can't run away, and neither can you. We might as well just give them a knife!"
"How can you talk like that! Who is like you?"
"We are not as black-hearted and corrupt as you."
"We still want to live! We have a whole family here!"
"I don't want to kill my entire family."
"I am now the bad guy. You guys really don't know what's good for you. When will this end?"
“I’ll do this for the rest of my life!”
"Look at the blisters on my hands. We hold brushes, stand in the hall, and discuss world affairs, not pull wheat in the fields."
"This is just outrageous!"
"The most important thing in the world is to feed everyone. You haven't done that at all, yet you still brag about the world's most important thing." Huang Shuchang spat, "Pah!"
"Why are you talking!"
