Human nature is complex, but in this matter it can be summed up simply.

But simply cutting them all off as before won't work now.

【12】 Chen Wuji

Chen Wujì ordered a prisoner camp to be set up, commanding all prisoners to reclaim land and learn to read and write.

The only restriction is that the land reclamation must be finished, and they cannot leave the area Chen Wujì designated; violators will be executed without mercy.

They came not to fight, but to intimidate.

If we can talk, we talk; otherwise we confiscate or disband their private forces.

This instability must be dealt with decisively from the start, cutting through the mess with a swift blow.

【35】

But letting these powerful clans keep private troops will only become a source of turmoil.

Just help me tidy up when you can; I'll be a bit more diligent myself, and I'm not busy every day. As someone who's constantly fighting on the battlefield, being able to clean up this well is already pretty good.

【54】

Few among those rolling in heaps of corpses pay as much attention to personal hygiene as he does.

【56】

But having said that, this really needs to be treated as a serious matter.

Huo Sanniang shook her head with a laugh, "Forget it, never mind her—this girl is acting like a wild child sometimes. Sometimes I even feel like we're not sisters but mother and daughter."

"She's just a wild kid, she's like that, pretty good." Chen Wuji laughed.

Huo Sanniang gave a slight nod, "How could it be just good? I envy it but I cannot envy it."

Shen Youwei has experienced such a huge family upheaval, and before and after has endured many torments; even now she can still have such a disposition—this is not something an ordinary person could manage.

What Xue Hongdou has gone through is much lighter than Shen Youwei's, yet she still hasn't gotten over it to this day.

Chen Wuji fetched water for Huo Sanniang and left it out in the sun to warm; afterward, while reading, he chatted with Huo Sanniang off and on, talking about whatever came to mind.

A small courtyard, the sunlight like melted amber, soaked into the pine on the wall.

In the half-window where the bamboo blind is rolled up, there is nothing but the flavor of life.
