Liu Fan sneered: "My elder brother has advised you that the fat man is a literati and is not the same as us. He is a member of the same generation. You must be careful with him. Brother Jinu, you are not too late to realize this now. The high-ranking families are like centipede insects, and they die without being stiff. Their best skills are conspiracies and tricks, as well as their own intelligence spies. We have suffered too much in this regard before. You use Helanmin to reuse them and want to use these foreign Hu people to build an intelligence organization independent of the aristocratic family first."

Liu Yu nodded calmly and said, "The so-called political affairs hall is to establish an organization with supervision power in the name of the country. With this status, you can force the major families to hand over their intelligence spies to the political affairs hall for use. Whoever has the intelligence can truly control everything. This is the same in our army. Whoever has excellent scouts can detect the enemy situation and deal with it."

Liu Fan nodded: "So, this political affairs hall is not a Xuxian yamen that is promoted openly and secretly, but a confidential department that holds heavy power and can even determine the general trend of the world?"

Liu Yu smiled slightly and said, "This is just an initial idea. The specific operation will be discussed together at that time. However, this department has a very powerful power, with the power to pick and impeach the censor, and the power to appoint and remove officials from the Ministry of Personnel. Therefore, it is necessary to choose important officials and generals who are dedicated to the public, loyal to the country, and have made great contributions to their positions."

"I don't know how this department will give the official position that is promoted to the public and demoted in secret, but Afan, you can find an opportunity to tell your elder brother that I will not force him to join this department. With his great contributions to the country over the years, it is impossible for him to retire and return to his hometown, and return to his country. Not to mention anything else, let's say that the nearly 100,000 troops you are now commanding are for Brother Xile. If he retreats at this time, then this army will become a huge unstable factor, and I will not allow such a situation to happen no matter what I say."

Liu Fan laughed: "Why, Brother Jinu also agrees with our approach and thinks that there is no problem for us to protect the veterans in this way?"

Liu Yu curled his lips and said, "In the long run, as long as the government is clear and the resettlement law against veterans can be effectively implemented, your protection method is unnecessary. If the country can solve the problem, it should not be solved by a certain private or a family. This is the same as the process of occupying the tenants of the villages in the aristocratic families. At first, they took refuge in northern refugees, planted land in the manor, and gave them food to eat. Isn't it a kind of kindness? But after a long time, they did not return these people to the country, but established another household registration for them and became slaves for generations. Afan, I would like to ask you seriously, even if you, Xile, and Acui, you three brothers do not have the idea of ​​turning your brothers into a clan and a servant. Can you guarantee that your children and grandchildren will not think so in decades or hundreds of years? "

Liu Fan's face changed slightly, and he could not answer this question.

Liu Yu sighed and said, "Okay, Afan, you should actually know that only a strong country and effective government agencies at all levels are the only way to ensure long-term stability. Of course, since the corruption of the government has been around for a hundred years, it is not so easy to completely reverse it in a while. In this transitional period, we must have the method of change, just like your brothers, now holding heavy troops, and have also recovered Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and have made military achievements in the process of chasing the demon thieves......"

Liu Fan waved his hand and said, "Don't let it go, Brother Jinu, my elder brother didn't lead troops to chase the demon thief this time. He is just now in Jiankang and sends his troops to recover Yuzhou. Even in the battle of Yuzhou, there is no war. The demon thief basically surrenders."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Sit in the rear, stabilize the overall situation, and let us soldiers in the front fight with peace of mind. It is the credit of your elder brother. Moreover, the recovery of Yuzhou was also the result of his subordinates. This military contribution is also counted on him. As for A Fan, as the deputy commander, you have pursued the demon thieves all the way, and won tens of thousands of demon thieves, and captured tens of thousands of demon thieves. The court will not forget these contributions. After fighting this battle, you will only have greater contributions, higher titles, and higher official positions. If the court cannot clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments and rewards meritorious officials, what is the significance of all our reforms and innovations?"

Liu Fan laughed: "I believe you, Brother Jinu, because you have always spoken like a mountain. However, I have a first word. There are more subordinates and soldiers to take care of our brothers. Even if we have to transition for a period of time, we have to take our time. We have to take our protection and care by those we are at ease. This can first let our subordinates take more responsibility first, and then let the veterans become powerful people in the villages where they settle down. After they have the ability to take care of themselves and not be bullied, we will naturally let go of power and hand over the army, prefectures and counties to the state for management. However, it must be our family, Brother Jinu, your family, Tieniu family, Huaiyu family, and other families that we have to take power for a long time and become a new aristocrat of the Great Jin Dynasty. Once they leave their official positions, they will be counterattacked by the nobles of those aristocrats."

Speaking of this, Liu Fan licked his lips and said in a deep voice: "Actually, even if you, Brother Jinu, you are a hero and have made countless contributions, you have also made countless enemies in the country over the years, especially when you destroyed the Wang clan of Taiyuan, and killed the middle-class families of Diao family and pacified demon thieves. Not to mention Huan Xuan, and the northern barbarians. These are your achievements and your enemies. Once you lose power, or a hundred years later, who will protect your descendants?"

Liu Yu said calmly: "I believe that if the country's system is correct and formal, and has protected the entire top-down officials and military, even if I die or resign and return to my hometown, I will live well, either my children and grandchildren will be in power for generations because I am afraid of revenge from enemies, so that they can get rich and frugal for generations. If that is the case, my children and grandchildren will be the parasites of the aristocratic families that I hate the most. I would rather not have such descendants."
