Liu Fan said angrily: "Brother Jinu, what do you mean? Do you mean that our brothers have not taken good care of their subordinates, or do we deliberately let them be gangs and thugs?"

Liu Yu said calmly: "Don't get me wrong, A Fan, I don't doubt that your original intention is to find a good place for your retired subordinates, so as not to be bullied by the powerful family after they go back. But this is a way to only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Can you brothers be in power for life? Can your descendants be generals for generations and become governors? Can you always have resources in your hands and maintain the rules and order of black and white underground in Jingkou? To put it bluntly, you can gain a foothold in the capital, master a huge underground organization, establish a gang that can hold tens of thousands of people, and manage and control shops, rice shops, restaurants, and hostels in half of the capital. Isn't it just your official position and power? If your elder brother is not the three giants of the Eighth Party in Beijing, not a general with heavy troops and power, how many days can the power you have now last?"

Liu Fan gritted his teeth: "Yes, just like you said, our brothers can support so many subordinates because of the power in their hands. This power is not something that fell from the sky, but a few of us brothers, plus tens of thousands of soldiers who fought bloody battles, bloody sacrifices for more than 20 years, and the titles and official positions that were exchanged for more than 20 years. So now you have to hand over these official positions and military positions, so that we cannot buy land and divide land and resettle the subordinates in the prefectures and counties outside, and we cannot find a job for them in the capital. Anyway, our brothers are Gao Luhou, and no matter how hard we can return to our hometown like Tieniu and others, but what should you do with these tens of thousands of eight brothers and soldiers in Beijing?"

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Our country has come to settle them and let them live the life they deserve. Why do you always feel that you can't let these soldiers live and work in peace without you? If the country cannot treat the soldiers who have made contributions well, then what else does this country need to do? I just said that the one who can give these brothers a better life should not be a big brother or general, but should be a national law and system, and can give these people who shed blood and sacrificed for the country. These rewards should not be just aimed at us generals and those who are in high positions, but that everyone who has killed the enemy and made contributions can get the reward they deserve."

Meng Huaiyu nodded: "In fact, according to the laws, the great Jin Dynasty gave the brothers a lot of benefits after they retired from the army. Ordinary people were exempted from duty and exempted from service when they joined the army for three years. If they were to work for life, they could be exempted from labor. If they made merits and received rewards, they could also be converted into the time for the whole family to be exempted from taxes and service. After the war, they could be divided into more land according to their titles, and they could................"

Liu Fan said coldly: "It is this that divides more land, which will cause many brothers to lose their fortunes. I know that Brother Jinu's original intention is good. He wants his brothers to make contributions and have more land to plant, so that they can get rich soon. After all, land is the foundation of all agricultural production and the most important property. However, this is used by the aristocratic families who have been unwilling to use, because the land is not private property, but is allocated to the people and let them farm. The price is to pay taxes according to the aristocratic people. The veterans who return to their hometowns all farm their own land. There are no hundreds of farmers and tenants like the aristocratic family manors, so one person can not grow one or two hundred acres, which leads to more than half of the land being abandoned, but the tax that should be paid cannot be less than a liter of rice."

"How many veterans thought they could live and work in peace and live a life of a small landlord, but they were bankrupt because they could not farm the land. In the end, they either returned to the manor of the aristocratic family as a farmer or a tenant, or they came back to find our brothers and found a way to find a job in the city. Brother Jinu, Xie Tingyun forced the parents to sell them and make a living in the city. You don't care about him anymore, so in the end, the brothers Tingyun killed the Wang Yu family."

Liu Yu's hands were already clenched into fists. This was a pain for his whole life. Even when he recalled today, he was still so heartbroken that he couldn't help himself. When Xiang Mi saw this situation, he hurriedly said: "A Fan, don't mention this matter, this is..."

Liu Yu suddenly raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Tieniu, don't interrupt Afan. He said it well. We didn't think about the soldiers well. After the veterans left the army and returned home, the problem of whether they were able to manage the land after they had been distributing more land, which led to others' bad life and even went bankrupt. This is our painful lesson. Xie Tingyun is not an isolated case, but nearly half of the people have encountered his same difficulties. Although they will not die, they cannot gain a foothold in the local area and can only sell their land and leave. In this regard, we have already had some solutions over the years. The fundamental point is to do a good job in resettlement of veterans after they are discharged from the army, establish a special department, grasp the situation after they return to their hometowns, and understand their actual difficulties. If they encounter something they cannot solve by themselves, the government will come forward and solve it."

Liu Fan sneered: "Official government? If the government is really fair and fair, these tragic things will not happen. Even most of these veterans will not be bullied and cannot engage in normal production and live a normal life. They will either become thugs, bandits, or be forced to sell themselves as slaves and become tenants. If it weren't for our brothers' protection and retaining many veterans, I'm afraid that whether it is the Heavenly Master or other northern barbarians would have a lot of more soldiers."

"If you don't say anything else, it's just this Tianshi Dao Rebellion. Why did the demon thief with only a few thousand people in Guangzhou have expanded its strength so quickly? Isn't it because a large number of our Jin army veterans, even the brothers of the Northern Palace, can't survive for our own aristocratic landlords, either be serfs or surrender to demon thieves. Now, the old demon thieves who guard the city in this city are mostly our brothers who used to betrayal."

Liu Yu frowned: "This is something we must reflect on. The war with the demon thieves has come to an end. Those who once fought for the Great Jin Dynasty, but later were heartbroken for various reasons and surrendered to the enemy. If they could be saved, they should try their best to save them. It is really hopeless. They can only kill the thief with tears, just like in this Shixingcheng. We shouted and made a way for the passage many times, but none of them came out to surrender. Perhaps, they had already made the determination to die."
