Liu He's words are very rich in content, just like the various dishes in the copper hot pot, Liu Yu needs a while to digest carefully.

"Shiren just said that he wanted to break the idea of 'official position' within the family, which my father can probably understand, but the foundation you have worked hard to lay is not guarded by your own family, is it difficult to hand it over to others?" Liu Yu asked a little puzzled.

Liu He smiled, feeling that his father was actually quite "real". He asked Liu Yu rhetorically: "Does my father think that a regime formed by a strict system has existed for a long time, or has a regime maintained by family affection exist for a long time?" ”

Liu Yu thought about it again and again, and replied with some difficulty: "It seems that each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it cannot be generalized." ”

However, the child believes that a truly stable political regime and organization must rely on strict institutions to continue, rather than family relationships. In the initial stage, the political organization maintained by family ties will certainly have an advantage, but as time goes by, various problems will surface, and at that time, many things will be very difficult to deal with because of the situation, so that it will not be long before the regime will be full of holes and eventually collapse. ”

This truth mentioned by Liu He has been verified by too many family-style industries in later generations, because of the differences in culture and system between the East and the West, the Chinese always believe in the battle of father and son, fighting tigers and brothers, and the result is often that their prosperity is also vigorous, and their death is also sudden. Unlike China, the Western society introduced the manager system very early, although it is still the big family that controls the equity of the industry, but the people rarely use people within the family to manage the industry, so it has existed for far longer than the Eastern family industry.

The same is true for managing a family, but it is also true for managing a country.

In the East, the supremacy of imperial power has been constantly emphasized from ancient times to the present, but it is rare and sometimes that the power of the cabinet can be expanded and consolidated, and as a result, the cabinet ministers of various dynasties and generations have become victims of power struggles, and they have not been able to devote their main energy and attention to governing the country. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the dictatorship of foreign relatives and eunuchs intensified, that is, the emperor was not at ease to hand over the power in his hands to the auxiliary ministers. But he would rather believe that those relatives who have accompanied him since childhood, such as birdless eunuchs and chickens and pigs, have not been handed over to a group of professional people to take care of such a professional matter as governing the country.

In the West, although there are extreme examples of monarchical autocracy, most of the time the monarch's power and relative power are clearly defined, and the emperor, as a symbol of national sovereignty, minimizes his involvement in specific internal affairs, and only expresses his position on major matters such as the expansion and conquest of the country, and usually only supervises the cabinet ministers to govern the country for themselves.

The result of the Oriental family's world-style imperial power system is that a dynasty will support about 300 years at most. Then there will be violent internal upheaval, and some dynasties will not even exceed a hundred years. And whenever there is a change of dynasty, the royal family that is now in power will always be exterminated by the latecomers, and the grass will be eradicated.

The Western managerial system of state power, while giving greater power to the prime minister or prime minister, has promulgated various systems and codes to protect the imperial power, and this has the advantage that the number of people who want to risk rebellion and become the emperor is greatly reduced, because as long as the prime minister or cabinet minister becomes the prime minister, the ambition of governing the country can be realized. In this way, the existence of imperial power was greatly prolonged.

In Liu He's view, the two terrible and shameless concepts of "official standard" and "family world" are the ghosts that poison the country and society, and human nature is greedy. Then ordinary grassroots people will never have a bright day, and they can only be the "two-legged sheep" of the elite class.

Liu He also has selfish desires, and he also wants to ascend to the throne of supreme power in the world, and taste the unique feeling of being in power, life and death. But he hopes that the Han Dynasty will still stand hundreds of years later, and millions of Han people will not be killed and eaten as lambs by the uncivilized grassland barbarians, so he has not yet skimmed the eight characters. We began to focus on the construction of some core systems in the future.

Obviously, Liu Yu has an irreplaceable role in Liu He's future political conception, so Liu He's work must first start with Liu Yu.

Before Liu He returned to Youzhou this time, he had been separated from Liu Yu for two years, and tonight was the first time that the father and son had such an in-depth discussion after their reunion. Liu Yu didn't expect that in just two years, his son's insight and vision would become so sharp and far-reaching, and he was still pondering the fresh words and phrases that appeared in his son's words just now.

"The war in Youzhou is over, what are your plans next?" Liu Yu asked his son.

"The child plans to adjust the existing officials in Youzhou first, and then go to Gongsun Zhan's lair to Lingzhi, and do something slightly deviant."

"Tell me, how are you going to adjust the personnel appointments and dismissals in Youzhou?"

"Let's start with the military aspect. I plan to carry out a major reorganization and reorganization of all the troops in Youzhou this time, so that the total strength of Youzhou will reach 100,000, and it will be divided into five routes: southeast, northwest, and middle. The first is to form a cavalry guard, composed of light and heavy cavalry, with a strength of 15,000 people, 12,000 light cavalry, and 3,000 heavy cavalry, with Zhao Yun as the main general and Xiahoulan as the deputy general. As a mobile force in Youzhou, the Xiao Cavalry Guard is stationed on the western front of Youzhou in peacetime, and is dispatched as needed in wartime. ”

"The expansion of the Dragon and Tiger Guard, the strength of the army has reached 25,000, including 3,000 light cavalry, 2,000 guards battalion, 15,000 light infantry, and 5,000 heavy infantry. The Dragon and Tiger Guard lives in the middle of Youzhou, usually undertakes the defense of Jicheng and other important cities, and currently has 5,000 people temporarily stationed in Luoyang. ”

"The formation of the Zhenbei Army, 20,000 troops, including 3,000 light cavalry, 2,000 car battalions, 15,000 infantry, the main general by Xu Rong, deputy general Li Meng, there is no military division for the time being. The main responsibility of the Zhenbei Army is to guard the northern Great Wall, and it can also go south or west to fight when the war requires.

"The formation of the Youyan Army, with a strength of 20,000 troops, including 5,000 light cavalry and 15,000 light infantry, the main general is Zhang He, the deputy general is tentatively designated as the leading recruit, and the military division is served by Xu Miao. The Youyan Army was stationed in Zhuo County near Zhongshan in peacetime, mainly to prevent the invasion of Taihang Mountain bandits and Bingzhou, and also to support the war in Jizhou. ”

"Form the Duliao Army. The strength is 20,000, including 3,000 light cavalry, 2,000 boat battalions, and 15,000 infantry. The Liao army was stationed in the Linyu area of western Liaoxi in peacetime, and would serve as the main force to pacify Gongsun Du in Liaodong in the future. ”

After Liu He finished the general idea of reorganizing and expanding the troops in one breath, he then looked at Liu Yu with a blank eye, hoping to hear a few words of surprise or appreciation. As a result, Liu Yu was bored and only cared about the mutton.

After Liu Yu drank a bottle of wine, he raised his head and said: "The Liao army is in the east, the Zhenbei army is defending the north, the Xiao cavalry is guarding the west, the Youyan army is in the south, and the dragon and tiger guards are in the center, which seems to be very tightly arranged, but where did you collect so many troops at once?" Youzhou has always maintained 50,000 troops, and now it has suddenly expanded to 100,000. And how do you feed this army? ”

Liu He replied: "This time we have captured Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Yue, and many of the Liaodong cavalry, and the total number of soldiers has exceeded 45,000, from which we can pick out at least 35,000 qualified soldiers, plus our existing 45,000 people." That's 80,000. Two years ago, I had already started the reserve military service system in Daigun-gun and Shanggu, and now it is not difficult to recruit 20,000 reservists from the two counties. ”

"As for how to feed so many troops, in fact, there is no need for my father to worry. Although the two counties of Liaoxi County and Youbeiping County are vast and sparsely populated. But it was more than enough to feed the Liao army of 20,000 horses; There is not much pressure on Guangyang County and Yuyang County to provide 25,000 dragon guards; It was easier for Dai County and Upper Valley County to feed the Zhenbei Army; Zhuo County is the richest place in Youzhou, and it is not a problem to support the Youyan army. ”

Liu Yu reminded his son: "You seem to have forgotten the most expensive Xiao cavalry guard." Moreover, only with the power of Zhuo County and one county, 20,000 Youyan troops were fed. It is clear that you have an opinion about the local wealthy families secretly supporting Gongsun Zhan, and you deliberately want to suppress them. ”

Liu He explained: "Although the Xiao cavalry guards spend the most money, they are also the most able to make money, when there is a shortage of money and horses, Zhao Yun only needs to cross the Great Wall and go to the territory of the Xianbei people to sweep around, won't he have everything?" As for those wealthy families in Zhuo County, it is still light to let them support the Youyan Army, and see how I clean them up in the future! ”

Seeing his son gritting his teeth, Liu Yu shook his head, it was not easy to persuade too much. "How are you going to arrange Li Yan, Xian Yufu and Tai Shici? Several of them are old qualifications, but they did not appear in your appointment this time, and if they can't be arranged in the right positions, things on the army's side will not be straightened out. ”

"Xian Yufu and Tai Shi Ci are now under the command of Lu Zhi in Jizhou, they are jointly in charge of 30,000 soldiers and horses in Jizhou, I am ready to force Yuan Shao out of Jizhou in the next step, and then add 10,000 people to them, and then split into two troops, when the time comes, Xian Yufu and Tai Shi Ci will each be able to lead an army, and their positions are not lower than the main generals of the five road troops in Youzhou."

"Li Yan is now in Luoyang, and the troops he actually controls have exceeded 20,000 people, and it is likely to exceed 30,000 in the future.

"According to this calculation, after the reorganization is completed, the total number of troops you can deploy is actually 150,000?" Liu Yu finally showed a surprised expression this time.

Liu He said proudly: "Father still has something to miss." You forgot about Wei Dun, who guarded Juyong Pass, and Zhang Zhan, who guarded Wuruan Pass! They also have a total of 10,000 troops under their command, so the number of troops I can mobilize is actually 160,000. ”

"Hmph, if you don't mention it, I'll mention it too! The generals under your command have all been promoted, and Tian Chou, Xian Yuyin and Xian Yufu, a few old generals from Youzhou who are close to you, have also been promoted, why don't you mention these two conscientious veterans under your father's command? ”

"Where do you dare to forget these two Youzhou heroes, I plan to let Weidun serve as the Taishou of Yuyang and let Zhang Zan serve as the Taishou of Zhuojun, so that they will be equivalent to the military and political arrest, this is better than giving them a miscellaneous general, right?"

"It's almost the same arrangement, you kid has a heart!"

Liu Yu nodded, showing a smile. (To be continued......)
