South Korea did not want to start with a drastic expansion of their forces to the size of their desired force. They are well aware of their current situation. South Korea has just been deposed. Supporting an army of tens of thousands of people is beyond their national power. In order not to cause huge problems to the economy. They strictly controlled the size of the military, which created a virtuous circle for the South Korean economy.

This is similar to the disarmament that Shang Wen proposed at the beginning. The size of the army cannot exceed the economic capacity of this country. Once exceeded. It will have a huge destructive effect on the economy. This destructive effect then has a tremendous shaking effect on the superstructure of the country. And then the country will become a different kind of thing. Shangwen didn't want that to happen. I don't want anything like this to happen. Therefore, he has been strictly controlling the size of the Qin army, and the number of people is guaranteed to be around 250,000, which is already considered a normal range.

However, South Korea is not only concerned about the development of conscription, they are also concerned about how to fight Wei next. That's where the real problem is for them.

"Conscription is not a problem now. Just look at the enthusiasm of the people outside to join the army. Zhang Liang said.

"Oh. Hehehe. The queen was very happy to hear this. Before it was conscription. South Korea will inevitably have to work hard, because it is difficult to carry out conscription, but after the state uses the military pay system. Conscription is starting to get simpler. In addition, there is no need to pay taxes after becoming a soldier, so the enthusiasm of the people to join the army is very high.

Hear such news. The queen serves as the supreme leader of South Korea. Naturally happy. Because this is her own political achievement, she is still very happy about this.

"However, it will take some time for us to convert these recruits into a truly combat-ready army. During this time, it was impossible for us to take the initiative to send troops to attack Wei. Zhang Liang continued.

"How much benefit do we actually get from attacking Wei?" Zhang Liang threw out the essence of the war, and a fierce war broke out for the sake of interests.

"Yes." The Queen nodded. Expressions of approval. In the face of the rising domestic war sentiment. The queen herself felt touched by the enthusiasm of the people. My emotions are a little excited. There is some fever in the head. Lost a certain amount of sanity. And Zhang Liang's reminder. Let the queen recognise. The current situation is still problematic.

Wars are not fought all at once. Nor will a nation be destroyed all at once. And after the annexation of a country. What the surrounding countries think of you. The most terrible thing is that diplomatic relations will be greatly impacted. Whether it's good for you or bad for you, all need to be reconsidered. These factors add up. It is difficult for South Korea, which is already relatively weak, to resist. South Korea is only now on the rise. Compared to those traditional powers. The strength is still very weak. Despite the rapid pace of economic development. But compared to a powerful country like Qin. Still hard to resist.

It was when South Korea was discussing countermeasures. Shang Wen, who was on the train, was also discussing the situation on the Korean side with his security assistant.

"The war of Korea against Wei is very beneficial for us, but there is one point that we would like to point out." The security assistant said.

"Oh. What is that? Shang Wen asked.

"The Wei State can't be destroyed all at once. And the attitude of the surrounding countries is also difficult to determine, for example, Zhao Guo. If Zhao sees Korea after annexing Wei. So what does Zhao Guo think, and will they also take new military action. These military operations are again going in that direction. We don't know for sure yet. At the same time, we ourselves do not want South Korea to be too strong. In particular, South Korea's economy is growing rapidly. It shows that their national strength has developed greatly. This development is a threat to us. The security assistant said.

"We should take a whole new approach and let them annex a place. The Wei State still has the value of existence, and we will not destroy them until the country loses this value. The security assistant said.

"Yes. The idea is good, annex a place. So what do you think is good for this place to choose there? Shang Wen asked.

"This, I think, should be in the direction." The security advisor took out a map, and on this map, a place was clearly marked.

"Xu." Shang Wen chattered.

"Yes. This is the place. Allow. The security consultant said.

"Why this place." Shang Wen asked, putting the map on the desk.

"That's right, this place is a place that has been repeatedly disputed by Wei and Korea. Almost all of the people in this place have two nationalities, one is Wei and the other is Korean. Sometimes, there are two different kinds of taxes to be paid. One is from Wei and one is from Korea. The security consultant said.

"Well, in that case, wouldn't there be no one in this place?" Shang Wen said.

"It was supposed to be like this, but the place is on the plains. The interests of some nobles are here. So, you get the idea. Safety said.

"Yes, I see. They don't have to pay taxes. At the same time, they can use it to annex a large number of farmers' land. Is that so? Shang Wen asked.

"That's right. But the problem is with taxes. Now, there are more and more business taxes in South Korea through this place. The Wei State also began to pay attention to this place. Other words. The transportation of this place is very important. The security consultant said.

"So, you think, next. South Korea is going to occupy this place? Shang Wen asked.

"Yes, even if they don't want to, we can use this place as a last bargaining chip in the war." said the security consultant.

"Yes. Tell me what the people of this place think. Shang Wen suddenly became interested in this place.

"Yes. This place. How to say that. Xu, this place belongs to the Wei State and also belongs to South Korea, however, in recent years, South Korea's economic development has been relatively fast. I believe that they are more interested in belonging to South Korea. The security consultant said.

"Yes. Since this place is very strong in South Korea, we might as well have a referendum. to decide where to belong. As for the issue of double taxation, I think the two sides still have to go to war. These are two different issues. Shang Wen said as he pushed the report away.

"I think our main task at the moment is to solve the damn problem. We've been stuck in this predicament for a long time. For this matter, I have to go to Yan Country in person, although, I also know that Yan Country is very dangerous. However, there is no way. None of us can be relied on at the moment. Shang Wen said.

In order to completely solve the problem of the besieged Qin army. Shang Wen decided that he could not stay in Zhao anymore. Although Zhao Jun is also in the process of gathering. However, it is far from being possible to expect them to send troops immediately. The Zhao army had already reached the Zhao Yan border with several battalion and company level troops. However, they cannot be put on the battlefield with such combat units. That's very unwise. This is the opinion of the generals. The civil servants could do nothing about it.

In this regard, Shang Wen could only go to Yan Kingdom in person, and he hoped that King Yan could personally come forward and recruit an army to solve this matter. After all, Yan is still his country. There is no reason for the Qin people to help the Yan people to defend their country. Shang Wen hoped that he would be able to impress King Yan. Let Yan Guo organize an army by himself and take on the responsibilities they should bear.

And in South Korea. South Korea's top brass is discussing countermeasures.

"As for the contradictions between Wei and our country, I think that the final solution to the problem is still the way of war, but we must obtain the benefits we should obtain in the war." Zhang Liang said.

"For this war, we need to fight quickly. Only in this way will there be no major impact on our economy. Zhang Liang said.

At this time, the queen nodded. She has read relevant books, and she understands that for South Korea. A quick fix is the best way to do it. If the war drags on for a long time, it will be a disaster for South Korea. South Korea currently has no more financial resources to support a protracted war. A quick solution is the best option for South Korea.

"Yes. The widow still agrees with this, according to the current situation in South Korea. That's all there can be. Han Shu said.

"In that case, then we can only make some decisions on some trade-offs." Zhang Liang said.

"Oh." Han Shu just sighed.

"We can't swallow Wei all at once, and that's not very suitable for the time being." Zhang Liang said.

"I think we might as well just occupy the Wei Kingdom. At the same time, to solve the problem of trade taxation between us and the Wei state. And then we can open our country's Korean concession in Wei. Zhang Liang expressed his opinion.

Han Shu heard such a plan. Just a vigorous nod, a nod. She believes that Zhang Liang's idea is very much in line with her idea.

But. Han Shu also has another small idea of her own.

"Yes. The idea of the deputy prime minister is very good. However, the widow should add another one to this. That is, the issue of reparations, and the widow conscription was also conscripted. The army is also out. There may be another battle in the future. The widow thinks that such a thing cannot be left like this. A certain amount of indemnity should be demanded from Wei, and only in this way can the outnumbered army not be in vain. At the same time, the goal of achieving a balance between fiscal revenue and expenditure should be achieved. Han Shu expressed her opinion.

For the issue of indemnity. Zhang Liang didn't think much. But he only thought that it was good to be able to get a piece of land in Wei. What I didn't expect was that Han Shu actually bit her mouth and didn't let go. I want to get more benefits. This made Zhang Liang feel that things were a little tricky.
