Chapter 599 Peasant Woman 27
Chen Xing ran up to her and asked, "Mother, what's the matter?"

Tan You: "Go call the clan leader and the elders and ask them to meet at the clinic. I have something important to discuss with you all."

Chen Xing responded crisply, and soon ran out with the children. Zhu Rong, who was reading a medical book, put it down and asked, "Something big happened?"

Tan You nodded slightly: "Let's talk about it after the elders come over."

Isn't it a big deal? There is chaos outside. They have been dormant for so long, it's time to stretch their muscles. Unfortunately, seven years have passed, and Chen Cui's whereabouts are still not found. It is even more difficult to find her again in the chaotic world.

Chen Xing's pace was extremely fast, or rather, these children were all extremely fast. As the tribe's living standards improved, the later children were obviously healthier.

In addition, they had been practicing martial arts since childhood, and their bodies were in great shape. In less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Tianshui, several elders, and a dozen aunts gathered at Zhu Rong's clinic.

Such an important meeting naturally requires the presence of the guards. Yang Youchang sat on the other side, and next to him were several team leaders of the guards. Now the guards had already made some vague guesses, and they all looked at Tan You with expectant eyes.

Tan You was in no hurry to tell her decision, but just told her the news she had received: "The northern barbarians are invading and have already entered the pass. The imperial court is losing ground."

Chen Tianshui took a deep breath immediately. The hand that was stroking his beard was not paying attention and pulled out two hairs, causing him to grimace in pain.

But this is not the end, I heard Tan You continue: "The Yongwang in the northwest rebelled, and the Lingnan Jiedushi Zhou Li also rebelled."

"The imperial court's control over the local areas has become increasingly loose, and troubled times have arrived."

Everyone's heart suddenly became heavy, except for the guards, whose eyes were all shining. A man has great ambitions, who doesn't want to achieve great things and become a nobleman immediately?
Tan You glanced at them, and several team leaders of the escort team immediately restrained their expressions and looked ashamed.

The Third Grandfather took a puff of his pipe and didn't care about the women around him. After a long silence, he asked softly, "Madam...what are the rules here?"

"Wait," Tan You said in a very light but serious voice, "We are in the eastern region, and it is still relatively peaceful. If we stand out at this time, we will only be regarded as traitors and eliminated first."

Chen Tianshui frowned tightly: "I'm afraid that when chaos breaks out here, we'll have to force conscription. When that time comes..."

"When that time comes, it will be our chance." Tan You said in a cold tone: "The guard team we have worked so hard to train is not to serve others."

"Rather than following a good-for-nothing and ending up in a dead end, why not have a fight?"

Although there have been vague speculations in the past few years, when Tan You said this now, everyone still took a deep breath. The clan leader and the elders were a little hesitant, but the aunts especially supported Tan You.

"Whatever the lady says is what it is. Only by following the wise can you have food to eat."

"Madam, what do you think we should do next?"

"Everyone listens to you."

Tan You was very calm: "Everyone should continue training as usual, and the soap workshop should not stop production. The guards should patrol more carefully on weekdays to make sure no one takes advantage of them."

"Also, if it's not necessary, it's best for everyone not to leave the village."

"Also, let's raise our city wall a few meters. We need to have people at the watchtower during normal times." The elders nodded one after another: "The city wall needs to be repaired. This is the most important thing."

"There are also food and escape routes," Tan You reminded again, "Send someone to the mountains to check the food storage situation. Also, let everyone be alert about the escape routes at all times, so that they won't be useless at critical moments."

After all these arrangements, everyone's originally troubled hearts calmed down. What were they afraid of? As long as they followed the wise man unswervingly, that would be the most correct choice.

In everyone's eyes, Tan You is the smartest person in the family. You can never go wrong by following her.

The clan meeting lasted nearly an hour. At the end, Tan You said, "Next, everyone should produce more alcohol and bread to prepare for emergencies."

"Zhu Rong, if you have time, come to Zhu Rong to learn how to deal with external injuries. This will also provide an additional layer of protection for the tribe members."

Listening to Tan You's arrangements in all aspects, Chen Tianshui nodded with satisfaction: "Just follow what the lady wants."

In the past few years, he has focused on the various workshops in the clan, and Tan You has basically handled all the clan affairs. Chen Tianshui asked himself if he knew that the chaotic world was coming, would he be as calm as Tan You?
He couldn't, even though he held the title of clan leader. But the Chen clan was originally a small clan, and the most promising clan member was only a student, while the rest were farmers digging for food in the fields.

In the past, they had difficulty supporting themselves, let alone raising the banner like they do now.

Aunt Liuying sighed, "We finally had a few years of peace and quiet, and everyone's lives were getting better and better, but what happened? This is the result."

Tan You said softly: "Don't worry, everything will be fine in the future. We won't allow others to destroy our current life."

"Luckily, we have the Madam here," Aunt Hua wiped away her tears, "If it weren't for the Madam, we would have fled the famine a few years ago. How could we have the life we ​​have today?"

Tan You just chuckled: "Okay, everyone, don't be so sad. There will always be a way out when you get to the mountain. Can we be forced to death by these people? Fortunately, all the bandits around us have been wiped out by us. No bandits should dare to come to the village."

Yue Shu: "If they dare to come, we will kill them. It just so happens that we haven't had the opportunity to do anything in the past year or so."

Tan You: "Okay, the safety of the clan is up to the guards, let's adjourn."

After the meeting, Chen Xi asked worriedly, "Mother, will this affect us?"

"How can there be true peace in troubled times?" Tan You said coldly, "If we don't want to be bullied, we must become stronger. Only when we are strong will others not dare to attack us easily."

Chen Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, we have to become stronger so that others won't dare to bully us."

Tan You touched her head and said, "You are right to think so. You and An Wen should keep an eye on the workshop and don't forget to train on weekdays."

Chen Yue came closer to her: "Mother, you don't even ask me?"

Tan You glanced at her and said, "What did you and those monkeys do? Do you think I don't know? You can do whatever you want in the village, but you are not allowed to leave the city wall casually."

Chen Yue made a face: "Mother, I know, we kids will be useful too."
