Chapter 615 Peasant Woman 43
"Moreover, those people are the subjects of the imperial court and the subjects of the territories of the vassal kings. They themselves do not care for their own people, so how can we care for them? It is not appropriate to meddle in other people's affairs if you are not in the position to do so."

Chen Xi pursed her lips: "Mother, I crossed the line."

"I don't mean to blame you," Tan You said gently, "I know you are full of compassion, but we can't join in openly. However, we can secretly settle the people who have been stranded here and let them take root in Yunzhou."

“People are always very valuable and they can create countless values.”

Everyone understood, and everyone knew that what Tan You needed was population. If there were no people in the territory, it would be useless even if there was more territory. Only with population could the territory develop.

Jiang Zhu waved his feather fan and said, "Now the number of princes in various places has also decreased sharply. There were six last year, but now there are only Prince Yong in the west and Governor Zhou in the southeast."

"Who do you think will rule the Central Plains in the end?"

Tan You played with a string of glass beads: "No matter who it is, we will be the ones laughing last."

Everyone straightened their backs, especially the military commanders led by Yue Shu, Yuan Cheng and others. After the grassland was recovered, the military commanders had been idle, and now after hearing what Tan You meant, everyone's DNA couldn't help but stir.

Tan You smiled as soon as he saw their expressions: "Have you been so depressed over the past few years?"

Yue Shu touched his head and said, "Yes, there are some. I have been displeased with those princes for a long time."

Tan You nodded slightly: "How to fight? You are military commanders. I will not interfere. Professionals should do professional things."

Yang Youchang is still strong and healthy: "Then I will discuss it with everyone."

Chen Yue stood up hurriedly: "Mother, you must let me go with you this time."

Tan You didn't restrain her this time: "Protect yourself."

Chen Yue was happy: "Okay, mother, I will definitely be your best pioneer! I will be your glory like my elder sister."

Tan You laughed: "It's a good thing that you want to make progress and achieve success. But why do you have to compare yourself with others? Comparing yourself with others will only tire you out in the end. Just be the best version of yourself, that's enough."

"Even if you have made efforts in the end, you are just an ordinary person, but as long as you grow up safely, you are also my glory. I am not so harsh on you, or am I just a pushover?"

After a few years, everyone who understood the concept of "chicken baby" understood it, and there was laughter in the meeting room for a while.

Chen Yue curled her lips and said, "I know my mother is not a pushover. I just want to work hard to improve myself and share her worries. My elder sister is doing so well, and Yuanyuan is doing an outstanding job in the hospital."

"As for me, I am extremely impatient to settle accounts, and I can't learn those medical skills. What I like most is to wield swords and guns, but I haven't achieved anything so far..."

Tan You reached out and touched her head: "Since that's what you want, then go ahead. Protect yourself and don't let your family worry about you."

Chen Yue nodded vigorously: "I understand."

Yue Shu and the others were all resolute and decisive. After Tan You had formulated a plan, they went back to recruit troops. They set out the next day. Chen Yue and An Wen, as the left and right vanguards, naturally followed the team.

Chen Xi stood on the city wall, watching the army go away, without a trace of worry on her face: "Do you still want to investigate An Wen's background?" Tan You nodded: "Why not? Where Chen Cui hid is still a mystery. No one can say whether An Wen is Chen Cui's son or not. God knows what Chen Cui did outside."

Chen Xi sighed, and Tan You looked at her: "Your father and your elder brother were indeed killed on the way back from looking for Chen Cui. Perhaps you will vent your anger on An Wen."

"But he was also a child back then. I think you understand why we shouldn't take our anger out on others."

Chen Xi smiled: "I know that mother understands me. Intellectually, I know that this matter has nothing to do with An Wen. But mother, there is a truth that you have to admit. It is indeed because of An Wen that such a big change happened in our family."

Tan You sneered: "Then where do you put Chen Cui? You just can't find Chen Cui now, so you have a grudge against An Wen who is related to Chen Cui."

"When Anwen first came to the Chen family, he was still in his infancy. How could he know anything? If you want to blame someone, blame your grandparents for not teaching their daughter well. If it weren't for them, would all these things have happened later?"

Chen Xi was silent for a long time: "Mother, I understand. I was biased towards An Wen."

Tan You said calmly: "Everyone has dark emotions, but no matter what the emotion is, you have to digest it yourself. Venting your emotions on others is undoubtedly the most despicable behavior."

Chen Xi's face was burning: "I understand. Next time I see An Wen, I will apologize to him."

Tan You smiled: "You are a smart person, but smart people tend to get stuck in a rut. I am glad that you have figured it out. Your father and your elder brother died early. That was their fate."

"If you want to complain, blame those bandits, blame your grandparents for insisting on having your father and your eldest brother go look for Chen Cui. Figure out who you should blame, instead of taking your anger out on others."

"As long as An Wen has not found out his background, as long as he lives in the Chen family, he will enjoy the same treatment as you. He is not inferior to you because of his background or bloodline."

After saying this, Tan You walked down the city wall, leaving Chen Xi standing alone on the wall for a long time.

Jiang Yu waved his fan and said, "Miss, let's go down. It's too cold outside."

Chen Xi came back to his senses and glanced at the feather fan in his hand: "Mr. Jiang, I know you are still holding the fan?"

Jiang Zhui waved his fan and said in a profound tone: "Miss, you don't understand."

"I understand," Chen Xi interrupted him, which was rare: "Pretend."

Jiang Du's face froze. He thought to himself that the young lady's thoughts had just been revealed by the eldest lady, and he happened to see it. How could she be embarrassed?

Yue Shu was a natural born general. Yunzhou was originally in the north, and the closest to Yunzhou was the Zhou family army led by Governor Zhou. Yunzhou received new battle reports every day, and Tan You was always paying attention to the actions of Yue Shu and others.

During the expedition, Chen Yue was just like what she said, she was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, charging ahead every time. Later, Chen Yue was even called the evil spirit, but she was not angry, but very happy.

She believed that it was her own glory, which she had earned through her own ability.

With the defeat of Governor Zhou, the Yunzhou Army's strength was greatly expanded. At the same time, the reputation of the Yun Family Army became more and more famous through word of mouth among the people. Not taking a single needle or thread from the people was the purpose of the Yun Family Army.
