"Hedong Wei's family is just a branch of Wei's family, not a big family. Even he can occupy Hedong. Those big families, aren't they more powerful?"

Liu Hong has long felt that the private soldiers of the aristocratic family are a threat to him.But there has never been an example, and Liu Hong has no intuitive understanding.

Now a branch of the Wei family can easily occupy the east of the river.If all the aristocratic families join forces and want to overthrow him, it will not be difficult.

For Liu Hong, nothing else is important, the most important thing is his life.Since others can threaten his life, he absolutely cannot let it go.Especially now, there is such a good opportunity.Of course, he wanted to take the opportunity to completely deprive the family soldiers from the hands of the aristocratic family.

Liu Hong found Liu Shu, Sangong and Jiuqing.Together with them, discuss the cancellation of the family soldiers.

The three lords and nine ministers all have their own concerns now.Although Liu Hong wanted to reform the official system, although he only discussed it with Liu Shu, they all heard the rumors.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and Liu Hong intends to guard against this matter, so he let it spread.But these three lords and nine ministers can all judge it. Knowing this, they are inseparable from each other.

Once the bureaucratic system was reformed, many people knew that they would not be able to keep their current positions.Therefore, they will not easily offend people now, they just stand there without saying a word.

Here, apart from Liu Shu who is the most certain in his heart, the newly promoted Sikong Hu Guang is the most at ease.Back then, because he offended the domineering General Liang, he suffered most of his life.It was only now that Liu Hong was re-simplified as Sikong, which was a sign that he was going to be reused.Regardless of whether the official system is changed or not, it has little impact on him.And he was originally from a poor family, so he directly spoke out to pay Liu Hong to cancel the family soldiers.

Although Situ Xuxun is a family member.But he used to hang out with eunuchs, so his popularity is not very good.But now his son Xu Xiang is with Liu Hong.He felt that he should be able to fight for this reform of the official system.So, he stood up and agreed.

Among the three men, two agreed.And Taiwei Liu Ju, who belongs to the clan of the Han family, is related to the interests of the royal family, so it is impossible for him to object.Needless to say, Liu Shu, who has the most power, is almost obedient to Liu Hong.In addition to the fact that other people do not speak, this matter is considered to be settled.

Now that the matter was settled, the atmosphere in the hall became more relaxed.

At this time Xu Xun said: "Your Majesty, the world was chaotic in the past, and there were many bandits and robbers everywhere. The big families need to protect themselves, so the court allows them to have a small number of family soldiers."

Seeing Xu Xun stop, Liu Hong said: "Don't worry about Aiqing, just say what you have."

Hearing Liu Hong's words, Xu Xun went on to say: "Now, His Majesty's new army has almost wiped out all those robbers and bandits. The aristocratic family does not need so many family soldiers to protect it. But the aristocratic family has a large territory, and the family There are many industries, and there are still many places that need to be protected. Your Majesty should consider this aspect early, otherwise, those aristocratic families will not be willing to obey orders."

"What Aiqing said is very reasonable. I don't know Aiqing. Is there any solution?"

In order to have a good future in the future reform of the official system, Xu Xun has long wanted to perform well.Now that Liu Hong asked him for advice, he immediately regained his spirit.

"Your Majesty, to resolve this matter, it falls to the security company you established."

"Oh, what do you say?" Liu Hong became interested in Xu Xun's proposal.

Speaking of which, the security company was just created by Liu Hong on a whim.Afterwards, he basically didn't care about it.Now Xu Xun brought it up again, saying that it is still the key to solving private soldiers. It seems that Liu Hong is very prescient.This time, he was immediately happy.

"Your Majesty, the security company you established is in charge of the dog. Therefore, I know it better." Speaking of this, Xu Xun looked at Liu Hong and said: "Your Majesty's security company can protect other people's homes." The business of the industry. It’s just that the coverage is a bit small, and most of the time, it’s just to protect businesses, and little is done to protect homes.”

"Aiqing continued to talk, and said whatever she thought."

"Your Majesty, I feel that the security companies should be subdivided. Some are dedicated to guarding homes. Some are dedicated to guarding merchants' business premises. Some are escorting merchants' goods. You can also get another one. Department, let special personnel guard the safety of those in need, and act as full-time bodyguards. In this way, it will not only meet the needs of the aristocratic families, but also make them speechless. Your Majesty's security company can also grow rapidly."

"Yes, Aiqing's idea is very good, just follow Aiqing's opinion." Speaking of this, Liu Hongyou said: "Since the security company belongs to the private industry, there is no reason not to let others do it. But this industry is relatively It is special and belongs to the armed forces. For the safety of the people, the imperial court must strictly control it. If you want to operate it, you must pass the examination of the imperial court and obtain the permission of the imperial court."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Liu Hong's statement.The armed forces, of course, must be strictly controlled.Even if Liu Hong doesn't say it, they will bring it up.

At this point, the abolition of private soldiers has become a conclusion.But Liu Hong pondered, although the family soldiers were cancelled, those people did not disappear.Don't give them a place to go, they're always a threat.

At this time, Liu Hong thought of those mercenaries of later generations.He can attract them and set up a mercenary group to protect the business of the big man people abroad.In this way, they have a place to go, and their foreign business is protected, killing two birds with one stone.

Since you are going abroad, you don't have to control too much.As long as you register with the imperial court department and get permission, you can form a mercenary army.In order to attract them, as long as they pass through the registered mercenary group, they can purchase imperial weapons.

Liu Hong was very happy to confirm the matter of the mercenary group.But he suddenly thought that no matter the security company or the mercenary group, they all need to spend money to hire them.

"Those officials and great nobles, if they are hired together with businessmen, it seems a bit cheap."

Thinking of this loophole, Liu Hong immediately corrected it.In order to show the privileges of officials and nobles, Liu Hong asked the imperial court to set up a special security bureau to be responsible for their security.

This security bureau is a manifestation of privilege, and it definitely does not mean that kind of surveillance.Because Liu Hong knew that almost all of those officials and nobles had become Jing figures, it was simply impossible, even the few guards around him couldn't handle it.Therefore, Liu Hong did not expect the guards to monitor those officials and nobles at all.

The order to cancel the family soldiers was issued, and the reaction of the aristocratic family was very fierce. Their resistance was much stronger than the resistance when the land and population were checked.

But Liu Hong has made up his mind, not only for the long-term stability of the big man, but also for his own personal safety.All those who dared to resist were designated as Dou Wu and Chen Fan's friends.
