2620 plugging the mouths of parliamentarians
Qin State Expeditionary Force.
"The Sabbatarians need a lot of arms and weapons." Tu Sui said.
"But we do not have such a large stock at the moment, especially flintlock guns, and it is not enough, we cannot give them our own weapons. This is absolutely impossible. Tu Sui continued.
"Yes, sir, if the rear transport supply lines are not restored, we will not be able to solve such a problem at all. The only way, this is the only way we can. Tu Meng said.
"Hmm. However, the logistics will have to wait for some time. If these garrisons wait for a long time, morale is also a big problem. Tu Sui said worriedly.
"Sir, we can only stabilize the mood of the resting people at the moment, and we can't let the situation get out of control, and we can use the further agreement on the details of the terms to stabilize the situation on the other side." Tu Meng suggested.
"At the moment, it seems that this is the only way to go." Tu Sui said. His offensive style of officer, leaving him on the defensive is difficult to maintain as he is at present.
Zhao Guo, Handan.
"Congratulations, congratulations. Boss Zhao Chuan. No, it should be the general manager now. A businessman in his early thirties from Zhao Guo congratulated Zhao Chuan.
"Huh. It turned out to be Brother Li, please inside. Zhao Chuan welcomed him with a smile.
"Brother Zhao opened on the first day, and I have business delivered to my door." Brother Li said with a smile.
"Oh. I don't know what kind of business it is? Zhao Chuan asked curiously.
"It's the business of this stock. Now that the stock is going up so much, a lot of people are buying, but they don't have the money, and if you can provide a lot of money at this time, I think the money will be made back very quickly. Brother Li said with a smile.
"Oh. This, I think, it is better for me to refuse, this stock market is too risky. I think, Brother Li, also knows that I myself have made some money from the stock market. But how much of a risk is involved. I'm a little worried right now. Zhao Chuan said.
"This. Brother Zhao, this is a business that was sent up. Brother Li said puzzled.
"This stock business is too risky, the stock can't go up all the time, there will always be a time to fall, so we can't put our money in such a dangerous place. This is a huge disaster for our bank, and I don't see such a risk. Zhao Chuan shook his head and said.
"But the other small banks, I've seen them do. I heard that I have made a lot of money. Brother Li said with a smile.
"This, I don't care, I don't know how much other people earn, I don't want to know, but, I come from the stock market, and that money is also earned in this way, we are trying to be safe, not for the sake of huge risks that lead to a big crisis, you know, such a situation for us, if all of them are gone. It's a disaster. Can't do it, absolutely can't do it. Zhao Chuan said resolutely.
In Zhao State, like Zhao Chuan, many people made money, they opened banks, but some of these small banks re-lented a lot of money to those investors, and these investors got a lot of money from bank loans and put them back into the stock market, so that the bank's funds pushed up the stock market again, but now for the stock market, they need more money. The more money, the better.
But Zhao Chuan seems to have realized the risks, and they are reluctant to invest a lot of money in the industry rather than in the stock market, because the risks are too high. They must control the existence of this potential risk.
Zhao Guo, Handan.
"We have sent out an officer corps of about three hundred people, a non-commissioned officer corps to South Korea, Chu State to observe. Other officers believed that Zhao should organize some troops overseas and establish our own colonies in Zhao. I heard that they have lobbied various parliamentarians, and such calls seem to be getting louder. Li Zuoche reported to Li Mu.
"Zhao's army is seriously undernumbered, and it is unlikely to undertake the task of external expansion." Li Mu said.
"But there are many people who think like this, and they believe that only external expansion can solve the current predicament of Zhao State, especially the treatment of soldiers, if soldiers do not fight, it is difficult to stand." Li Zuoche said.
"These are all things that the parliamentarians are discussing, if they want to fight, then, please add to Zhao's already small defense budget, solve all the problems of the military, and then we will talk about other issues." Li Mu said solemnly.
With the great victory of the Han-Chu coalition army in Mengla, which greatly stimulated the inactive Zhao army, some young Zhao soldiers believed that the armed forces of the Zhao State were no worse than the Han-Chu coalition army, and the Zhao State should also have its own colonies, especially overseas, and the Zhao State must have a colony of its own to meet the territorial needs of the Zhao State.
"But there is a big difference in the thinking of the upper and lower houses." Li Zuoche continued.
"Oh?" Li Mu looked at Li Zuoche.
"The House of Commons opposes Zhao Jun's external expansion, because if it expands abroad, the first thing is to tax them, although the nobles of Zhao also pay taxes, but their taxes are not very large, on the contrary, merchants have to pay a lot of commercial taxes, if the budget is increased, the only source of financial funds is the commercial tax of their merchants. Although we cannot raise the commercial tax rate, we can increase the commercial tax to increase the tax revenue, so a large number of merchants, the House of Commons, which they represent, are opposed to our expansion. However, the House of Lords was different, they had a lot of resources in their hands, but they only paid a small part of the taxes, because they controlled heavy industry, which was the object of tax exemption and tax reduction, and in such a situation, they hoped to greatly stimulate their industrial production by means of war. Therefore. Li Zuoche said.
"Thus, the House of Lords is in favor of war, while the House of Commons is against war. The main problem is still the issue of taxation, and if there is a big problem with taxation, we will not be able to dispatch soldiers and we will not be able to carry out combat missions. Li Zuoche said.
"Hmm. Personally, I am against foreign wars, because the current situation in Zhao is very bad. In particular, the financial situation has not changed much. It will take a time to accumulate, but, for now, it seems that the nobles are in a more anxious situation than we are. Li Mu said.
"But we can also do some things, such as sending an officer observation mission to let them see the situation, if the domestic conditions allow. We will then discuss the issue of sending troops, so that the voices of opposition and approval from the hospitals can be silenced. Li Mu said.
