Chapter 618 Peasant Woman 47
This wave of liquidation of the aristocratic clans undoubtedly led to a counterattack from the aristocratic clans. Especially since they monopolized the ladder of advancement, this wave of purge in the capital city attracted verbal criticism from the scholars in the capital city.

Tan You, Chen Xi and others didn't care about it at all. In their eyes, these aristocratic clans were like chickens to be slaughtered. It was just a matter of when to take action, not whether to take action.

With the departure of Yue Shu and others and the purge of the aristocratic families, Tan You also completely faced the counterattack of the aristocratic families. Apart from the verbal denunciations mainly from scholars and literati, when Chen Xi issued the decree, basically no one worked.

In the past, there were still court officials who would clock in at the front hall to show off, but now, there was no one. Tan You and Chen Xi were facing an empty front hall. It could be said that the entire internal system of the court was paralyzed.

Chen Yue played with her Buddhist beads, suppressing her inner violence: "Is this a form of non-violent non-cooperation?"

Tan You gave her the Buddhist beads, telling her to fold them when she gets angry and calm herself down. When people get angry, they are prone to making mistakes.

Chen Yue has gotten used to it over the years. She is a smart pioneer, not a foolish person who only knows how to charge forward.

Chen Xi flipped through the various documents without even looking up: "It's foreseeable that those officials are from aristocratic families. If we do this, will they get any good? This method is too childish. Where are our people?"

Chen Yue suddenly laughed: "They will be there tomorrow. Da Zhuang has taken a group of people out of the city to pick them up."

They were naturally referring to Chen Xi's right-hand men over the years, that is, the former Youzhou government staff. In addition, there were also a group of great scholars such as Liu Daru and their students.

Now that Tan You has entered the capital, everyone knows that this is a foregone conclusion. As for losing to Prince Yong, that is an extremely low probability event, and no one has even considered it.

Chen Xi nodded slightly: "Okay, come and help me, stop playing with your beads."

Chen Yue smiled and said, "I can't bear to watch it. What if I get mad?"

Chen Xi didn't indulge her: "Then you should temper your temper, Tuan..."

"Eldest sister, what documents do you need to deal with?" Chen Yue immediately stood up, moving as fast as lightning. She only hated herself for being young and ignorant, and stepping into the trap set by her mother. Now her mother and eldest sister would take advantage of her as soon as they got the chance.

Chen Xi unceremoniously conscripted Chen Yue into the army and worked until dusk. Only then did Chen Yue follow Chen Xi back to the bedroom with a dazed look in his eyes.

At that time, Tan You had just returned. Although the aristocratic clans could recover some blood, it was not enough. Now they got a mess full of holes. How to revive this mess was the most difficult thing.

Seeing Tan You coming in, Chen Xi and Chen Yue stood up together: "Mother, you're back."

"are you tired?"

"Come sit down and rest for a while, mother, let me give you a massage." Chen Yue pushed Chen Xi aside and massaged Tan You's shoulders and back.

Tan You sighed comfortably: "Yes, a little bit, pinch the left side again. People are never young again. I understand now that I can't hold on to any work."

Chen Xi paused and said, "Mother, you are not even forty yet, how can you be old? You have worked hard these past few years, and now we can share your worries. How about you take a good rest for a while?"

Tan You waved his hand: "Where can we rest? We have been traveling all the way, and you have seen so many people suffering. How can you bear to rest? We have managed our own territory well, but what about the people outside Youzhou?"

Chen Xi nodded: "Mother, I will work hard to make sure that everyone can have enough food and clothing like the people of Youzhou." Tan You was very pleased: "This wish is very ambitious. You may not be able to achieve it even if you spend your entire life."

Chen Xi pursed her lips and said, "It doesn't matter. I can't do it. In the future, I will have my daughter and my granddaughter. They will inherit my will from generation to generation. One day, everyone will live the good life that you, my mother, talk about."

Tan You deliberately teased her: "What if you give birth to a son in the future?"

Chen Xi curled her lips: "What's so good about sons? They are stronger than girls in terms of fighting ability, but in many cases, they are not as meticulous and thoughtful as girls."

Tan You smiled: "We'll talk about the future later. Now that the workshop has moved here, your team will be here soon, right?"

Chen Xi served Tan You some rice. "Yes, Da Zhuang has gone to pick them up. With their arrival, I can share a lot of the work on hand. Do these powerful families really think that we can't live without them?"

At this point, Chen Xi couldn't help but clench his teeth. Predicting it was one thing, but seeing this scene in person, no one would be happy.

Tan You: "Relax, they will soon realize that the blow is yet to come."

Liu Fu stood behind Tan You and shuddered, thinking that these powerful families were really going to be in trouble now. He didn't know what the lady was going to do this time. Anyway, compared to the mature Chen Xi, Liu Fu felt that the lady Tan You was more terrifying.

Although Chen Xi was the one in charge, Liu Fu understood that Tan You was the boss.

After drinking a bowl of soup, Tan You put down the bowl and said, "Yue Shu will be back soon, and Prince Yong has been captured alive."

Liu Fu's waist couldn't help but bend. The capture of Prince Yong meant that the previous dynasty was really a thing of the past. From now on, this beautiful land would all be renamed as Chen.

The palace maids standing around looked at each other, so these people are now the real masters?

"By the way, let's start the special examination. Once your staff arrives, you can start the special examination. You are familiar with the process. Isn't this how we select talents in Youzhou and Yunzhou?"

"There will be a lot of people this time." Chen Yue said after swallowing a mouthful of rice, obviously very curious about the upcoming event.

Tan You nodded: "That's right. There are still many scholars in this world. Although the aristocratic families have monopolized these, as long as the common people are given opportunities, they will not be worse than the children of the aristocratic families."

Chen Xi also nodded: "Mother, I understand. When Jiang Zhu and the others arrive, we will open the special examination. We are used to doing this in Youzhou, and now we are just expanding it to the whole country."

"By the way, for the students who come to participate in the Enke, we will try our best to reimburse their travel expenses. It's not easy for everyone. Although we are poor, we can't save money on this. Many people miss the opportunity in vain because they are short of money."

Tan You said a few more words, and Chen Xi and Chen Yue nodded in unison: "We understand, I will make arrangements for this."

"Oh, by the way, spring ploughing will start soon, and these things cannot be delayed any longer. When Yue Shu comes back, all the accounts must be settled. What's the point of such a small fight?"
