Liu Fan's eyes were shining with light and cloudy weather. Obviously, he also began to think and evaluate.
Liu Yu sighed, his tone was slow, and said, "Afan, if the country is strong and the system is normal, the virtuous people occupy the official position to seize power, and have corresponding supervision. Reporting these systems will leave those evil people without any escape, and if they do bad things, they will be punished accordingly. Then the lessons of previous failures will become less and less. If our soldiers learn culture and manage in the army, then at the local level, they can effectively control each village and township, whether it is a powerful family or a bully in the village, it is unlikely that they will defeat our soldiers as easily as before."
"So, it is necessary to retire from the army and continue to serve the country in another identity. This is not to seize power or destroy wealth. It is precisely the only brothers in the eighth army, the soldiers in the army, who are the most worthy of our dependence and the same as us. The nobles of the aristocrats of the middle and upper classes, who are all over the minds of the aristocrats of the aristocrats of the middle and upper classes, after reading the books of sages, they should let the people of the world serve them, protect them from wealth, and let their descendants even if they are mediocre and inaction, they can still hold high positions and control the country. The so-called scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are compiled by them and can rule the world for a long time and for generations."
"When we first started to join the army, maybe you wanted to be rich and become nobles of the upper class, but is such wealth worth our hard work? It is because we were bullied and had no skills to do nothing, so we thought of making achievements in the army and working hard for our own destiny. Over the years, we have also experienced all kinds of things. Now we have become important officials and generals who control the world. Should we go back to the path of success again, and then turn these nobles of the nobles of the family into the people we once hated the most for the sake of our descendants?"
Liu Fan gritted his teeth: "Brother Jennu, you are noble, you have lofty goals, you are amazing, but most people are just ordinary people, with their own emotions and desires. They just want to become the person you said, becoming able to get something for nothing, not produce, becoming able to cultivate the land and fabric all day long, and also having no worries about food and clothing. Iron cow, you said you just want to drink and eat meat, ride horses and hunt, isn't this also a kind of gain for nothing? According to Brother Jennu, what is the difference between you and the parasites of those aristocratic families?"
Xiang Mi widened her eyes and said with some stuttering, "How can this be the same? I have made merits for the country and killed thieves. Even if I resigned and returned to my hometown, I still have my own title and an honorary official salary. I can live such a life with these salary. This is not a gain for nothing. This, at best, shows that I have worked hard before, and now I am enjoying my previous contribution."
Liu Fan sneered: "That aristocrats of aristocrats can also say that their ancestors have worked hard before and have made great contributions, so their descendants can also enjoy the contributions of their predecessors. So what reason do we have to deprive them of these privileges that they have won for nothing?"
Meng Huaiyu said seriously: "Brother Afan, you are forcibly resigning. Our Jin Dynasty has long had laws and regulations, and it is not allowed to allow all titles to be hereditary. Even in the current title system, only one eldest son is allowed to inherit the title of his father. Others cannot inherit the title. Without the title, they will lose wealth. What's more, Brother Jinu has now established a new decree. This title is a submission to the agency and cannot be hereditary. If no new merit is made, then two or three generations will become commoners. This is why the children of these aristocratic families are now going to make new merits by various means and methods."
"Elephant Tie Niu and others have made contributions before, and have obtained titles and the salary that comes with them, or ordinary soldiers, the merits may not be enough for some high-ranking titles, but they can be allocated enough to change their lives and live a good life. This is enough. This is indeed not called getting something for nothing, but because of the merits made in the past, they have fought for life, had been bleeding, and were injured, and they should get rewards. If they can't keep their food and clothing without worries, then who will be willing to fight for the country in the future?"
Liu Fan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "There are too few people who can make merits such as Iron Ox who can have no worries about food and clothing, drink, eat meat, and ride horses and hunt. Most of the soldiers, according to the current merit system, may not even be able to make a village official. At most, they can only be divided into more than a hundred acres of land. After returning to their hometown, they have to operate and manage these arable land. I am afraid that each family will not be able to grow them. Moreover, our brothers are rarely skilled in farming. Many people join the army and fight because they do not farm well, go bankrupt, have nothing, and even sell themselves as slaves and enter the aristocratic manor to become tenants and farmers. To let them divide the land and go back to be farmers, it is tantamount to send them into the aristocratic manor as slaves."
"So my elder brother has always been thinking about their way out and giving them a livelihood. It is the underground army, gang thugs, etc. you talk about. Although it is not nice, it is not good to allow them to stay in big cities without facing the loess and backs, or marry and have children, and live a life envied by the country people. If it weren't for my elder brother, without my elder brother's brother's brother's management and care, how could they gain a foothold in big cities? They couldn't even deal with the village bullies and evil young men in the countryside. When they came to the city, they would only bully the powerful and powerful children of the officials so that they didn't even have bones left."
Liu Yu said calmly: "Afan, do you want to say that our brothers can do nothing but fight and kill people? So after they are discharged from the army, they can only be gang thugs, escorts in the escort agency, or perform in the world. They can only survive in your brothers' gangs forever, fight and kill, watch the venue to protect the hospital. This is to treat them well and prevent them from being bullied?"
Liu Fan's eyes narrowed slightly and did not directly answer this question.
