984 We can't send troops

"Everyone, be quiet." This time. An elderly MP stood up and said at this time.

"Be quiet. Everyone needs to be quiet. The older councillor shouted loudly. Despite the fact that the old man used all his strength. However, the agitated parliamentarians could not stop. The majority of the parliamentarians are from the civilian class. Only a small number of them came from the aristocracy, but those nobles were all down-and-out nobles, they didn't have any power, they didn't have any wealth from their status, and they couldn't get what they wanted from their aristocratic status. In this way, these down-and-out aristocrats are more inclined to the commoner class. It can be said that this part of the aristocracy was civilized. They are unable to enjoy the benefits that come with their lineage and status.

"Everyone, be quiet." At this time, some members of the council noticed what the elder member said, and the reason why there are joint elderly members in the parliament is that it is a collection of the unique local system of three elders. In a country like China, which pays attention to filial piety. The prestige of the three elders as a place is mainly due to the advantage of age, and people naturally respect those who are older because they have a wider range of knowledge. In the Warring States period. The average life expectancy of a person is only forty or fifty years, and a person who is older than sixty years old. It's already a miracle. So, the three elders, became the most authoritative people in the local area, and the parliamentary system, at the time of its establishment. This is fully taken into account.

In the place of the newly established state of the Qin state. The local immigrants from the six countries took this into account. And in history, after the unification of the Qin state. The three-elder system was also established at the local level. You can see it. The three-elder system can be regarded as a kind of parliamentary foundation in our country, but this parliamentary system was quickly destroyed by the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

The parliamentary system is based on this, and in the parliament there are these old people, who are more qualified to represent the will of the people.

"Everyone, be quiet." In the midst of a loud shout from a councillor. All the councillors slowly calmed down. It was only then that they realized that there was an older figure to speak.

"Everyone, be quiet. Listen to me. The older MP said at this time.

"The behavior of the nobles of the Wei State really disgusted us. But, don't forget. What kind of methods are we going to use to get them out of our old place? The older congressman said at this time.

The elder councilor's words at this time made everyone speechless. It's an obvious reference to something that no one wants to mention. Since the parliament is the place where the will of the people is represented. Then they have the right to raise a question of the wealth of society, and they have to exercise the power of parliament to collect taxes from all the people, and then use the taxes to mobilize the resources of the society, for example, to use this part of the money to buy guns, ammunition, weapons, to form an army, or to build infrastructure. So. There is a need for an elected government. This is where the role of the government comes in.

"At present, we only have a small number of militias and self-defense forces, and these armed forces are simply not able to allow us to defend our homeland from the destruction of these beasts." The older councillor said at this time.

In fact, after the establishment of the parliamentary system, a government with little practical use was initially born, and the actual power was still in the hands of the parliament. At this time, the parliament had not yet fully exercised their powers, and they were only collecting small amounts of taxes. At this time, but the amount of this tax collection ended up being very small. This government, which has little practical use, simply does not have so many resources and money to run for it, and in desperation, this government has only symbolically formed a self-defense force of less than 100 people. Such an army does not serve any purpose at all.

However, in the hands of parliamentarians. Or in the hands of local councillors with concentrated powers, who have formed large militias. Because they don't see how useful the government is, and they can't leave their security to a government that has just created nothing.

As a matter of fact. before. People have entrusted their own safety to themselves, and they have never pinned their hopes on the government, because the government cannot provide them with effective security guarantees, and in many things, they rely on the masses in the township to fight to protect their own safety. That is, in such a situation. The councillors have formed a militia of unknown size in their townships. These militias are used only to protect local security. They were armed with a range of weapons from hoes and clubs to spears and halberds, as well as short swords, long swords, and muskets.

"We're going to fight these noble brutes." Clearly, the councillor had lost all hope in the nobility.

"We have to build an army, we need to collect a certain amount of money and food. We need a lot of money. Buy guns and ammunition, buy all kinds of weapons, but also buy all kinds of supplies to fight this war. At this time, the parliamentarian said.

At this time, the surrounding parliamentarians began to fall into a buzzing discussion, apparently thinking about how much money they would have to invest to fight the war. Fighting a war is the most expensive thing, and this is something that everyone understands, but making it difficult for them to pay for it.

"We need a lot of money, and at the moment, we can only solve it through taxes." The older legislator came up with the proposal at this time.

"If we want to get rid of these beasts, we need a lot of money, and we need a lot of taxes." The words of the older councillors echoed empty in the halls of the council. All the parliamentarians were silent.

After a moment of silence. People began to break the silence.

"How much do you think we need to collect taxes? How can these taxes ensure that we don't pay more taxes? "Apparently, the concerns of the lawmakers are more concrete.

"I don't know, who knows how long this battle will last. However, I hope that this disaster will be put to rest as soon as possible. A South Korean factory councillor said. Because only if the war subsides can their factories continue to operate. The product can be produced.

"In the end, it's the rich of us who pay the bill." Obviously, the South Korean parliamentarians did not want to pay for the war of the Wei people, but they were hesitating because, if they did not pay for it, they would remain in this current stalemate. For the Wei people, at this time, they really couldn't come up with so much money. Because of the previous rule of the Wei people, high taxes drained all the wealth of the region, and they could not raise so much money. to pay for the huge war costs.

The war finally came back to a fundamental problem. The problem is the wealth problem of society. That is, economic issues.

And in South Korea. The upper echelons of South Korea have never taken their attention away from the land.

"The nobles of Chendi are rioting. Deputy Prime Minister, what do you think about this? Han Shu asked, holding a telegram.

"Your Majesty, first of all, I would like to point out that the nobles of Chen Di are committing atrocities, not riots." Zhang Liang said at this time.

"Yes. Isn't it the same. Han Shu asked at this time.

"It's not the same. Atrocities, it was the nobles who harmed the interests of the locals. And riots. It's that they're the victims, and obviously, here, the people of Chen Di are the victims. At this time, Zhang Liang said.

"Yes. Right. You are quite correct and reasonable. Han Shu nodded at this time and said.

"It's an atrocity. And not riots. Han Shu nodded at this time and said.

"So what do we do? Is it to send troops, help, you know, there are also our people there. Han Shu said with a worried face.

"Yes." Zhang Liang just nodded. But he still spoke his mind.

"But we can't send troops either. If we send troops, we will inevitably be restrained by the Qin State, so that we will return in vain. In that case, our prestige will be greatly limited, and most terrible of all, we will not be able to inspire our army to send troops again. This is a huge threat to us in South Korea. Zhang Liang said.

"Yes." Han Shu nodded. Obviously, she couldn't agree more. Because, this unprovoked withdrawal made her very annoyed, but she couldn't vent it. Because, this thing, it was the Qin State that obviously suppressed itself. And South Korea is helpless because of its lack of strength. However, the blow was not small. At the very least, the morale of the South Korean New Army has suffered a great dampenance. Many soldiers and officers did not understand why they should stop the war that could be fought to the Wei State. This puzzled them.

"In addition to morale, there is also the cost of war, and we need to bear a lot of war costs. We need to deduct these war expenses from the state treasury and taxes, and if we go to war in too many quantities, our financial situation will deteriorate dramatically. At this time, Zhang Liang proposed.

"Yes. Our finances cannot afford to support too many wars, and we need a quick one, not a protracted one. The war has stimulated our economy, which requires a short period of stimulation, but for a long time, our economy will completely collapse, at that time. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us in South Korea to rise and rejuvenate. At this time, Zhang Liang said excitedly.

"The prime minister is right." Han Shu nodded in agreement.

The current situation does not allow the ROK New Army to send troops immediately. Moreover, South Korea has just retreated, and at this time it is difficult to solve the morale problem when it sends troops again. South Korea does not have the conditions to send troops to intervene. Moreover, the time is not yet right. All sides are nervously watching the continuation of the situation.
