Chapter 656 The light boat has crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains

After the controversy over the tank, the civil and military ministers were reluctant to intensify the conflict, and the atmosphere in the court was eased a little, and some inconsequential issues were thrown out for the imperial court to decide, but there was no trouble.

After nearly two hours of discussion, a number of consensuses were reached.

It's coming to an end

Minister of Justice Tian Shan stood up and bowed, and said; "Your Majesty, the minister has a matter to ask for the Holy Judge."

"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Your Majesty, recently, with the large number of demobilized soldiers returning to their hometowns or resettlement in the southern states, there have been hundreds of vicious gun-related cases. In particular, the "Baron Murder Massacre" that occurred in Wollongong City had a huge bad impact, which was caused by the chaos in gun management, so the minister requested the introduction of a gun ban bill to curb the widespread spread of gun-related vicious cases, crack down on lawlessness, and maintain social stability and peace and order. ”

After speaking, Tian Shan presented the thick fold that had been prepared for a long time, and the royal attendant had already taken it and handed it to the front of the palace with both hands.

Li Fushou didn't look at the fold immediately, his slender fingers gently tapped the armrest of the throne, and those who were familiar with His Majesty's habits knew that he was thinking.

The "Baron's Murder Massacre" in Wollongong City was reported in the newspapers, which had a great impact on the society and made the people have some different views on veterans.

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each different.

After the unprecedented scale of the North-South War, many militia divisions and regiments were disbanded on the spot, and the officers and men were dismissed and returned to their hometowns for resettlement.

The baron nobleman of Wollongong City is the deputy commander of the militia division, and the fief is divided into the Wollongong area, and after retiring from active service, he has a large amount of property, and his wife is beautiful, because he does not know how to restrain his personality, so he is targeted by a group of veterans.

Tragedy struck, and in the middle of the night, the veterans broke into Monsieur Baron's newly purchased mansion, killing all 17 of his men and plundering all the gold and silver treasures.

In fact, they didn't go far, and soon all the six veterans who committed the bloody crime were arrested and put on the gallows.

The man died, but the aftermath of the bad effects of the "Baron Murder Case" has not dissipated for a long time.

This is just one of the many vicious cases involving guns, speaking of which Li Fushou himself is also responsible, he has always advocated the national inheritance of the Han and Tang dynasties, the iron bones, and the laissez-faire propaganda advocating martial arts, stimulating the bloody nature of Huaxia Erlang.

Now that blood is enough, the society is also full of a kind of male hormone smell that is ready to move, and there is often a shouting and killing.

For example, New Zealand, which is not far from the neighborhood, has been living in the shadow of Australia with trepidation.

Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil of the London Cabinet therefore sent a special letter to King Li Fushou, asking him to make a solemn commitment in the name of the King; New Zealand will never be invaded and occupied without cause.

Helpless, Li Fushou could only solemnly guarantee in his reply; The Ocean Kingdom and New Zealand will always be good neighbors.

Even this could not dispel London's doubts.

Because, the current Chinese population in New Zealand has accounted for the majority, and no one can say how many of them are secretly instructed by the Ocean Kingdom.

When it comes to immigration, London can't catch up with the ocean kingdom that is close at hand.

King Li Fushou thought about it for a moment and said;

"Tian Aiqing's ban on guns hopes that the cabinet will come up with a charter.

If everything is too much, the tone of propaganda should be softened a little more to promote economic development, the restoration of people's livelihood, national integration, and harmony and common prosperity.

The Spaniards in Luzon in the south and the Dutch in Java in the west have expressed their uneasiness through various channels, oh...... And New Zealand.

The neighborhood is uneasy, and it looks like our image is a bit bad!

The Prime Minister is requested to take the lead and unite all ministries to act in unison to create a good image of maintaining peace and stability in the region.

As for the ban on guns, it will be discussed in the parliament, and in my opinion, the safety of the inhabitants of the city is fully guaranteed, and there is no need to carry firearms.

As for the details of the debate, the parliament can also mobilize the participation of the masses of society and increase the sense of ownership of the people.

After all, this is a major matter that has a bearing on everyone's vital interests, and only on the basis of full discussion and full listening to the different opinions of all parties can we come up with a proper plan. ”

"Your Majesty." The Prime Minister, Earl Xin Changjun, hurriedly stood up and bowed down to receive the order.

"If there is nothing else, then this court meeting is over and everyone will disperse."

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

All the ministers of civil and military affairs stood up and bowed.

Li Fushou stood up, waved his hand, stepped off the high throne and strode away, leaving only a majestic and tall back.

A comprehensive ban on guns is a big topic, from the current situation in Australia is obviously unrealistic, the entire southern region of the flooded hares can not be curbed without guns, and the hares that dig holes everywhere cause great damage to the pasture, which will inevitably affect Australia's most fundamental industry ~ wool industry.

Some of the gun bans are debatable, most town dwellers have no hard demand for guns, and gun bans have been implemented in metropolises such as the Red River Valley and Brisbane, and the actual effect is quite good, and it can be further promoted.

The trouble is that small and medium-sized and remote towns have a certain demand for guns, how to determine the scope of implementation of the ban on guns, gun licensing standards, need to be slowly explored in practice, summed up a set of implementation experience, this is urgent, let alone a rigid one-size-fits-all approach.

Immortal Residence Hall

took off the crown and changed into light and loose clothes, Li Fushou picked up the teacup and drank a few sips of water, and his whole body looked much more refreshed.

Successfully passed the danger of the Civil War, Li Fushou seemed to have unloaded a burden of 10,000 catties, his eyebrows were no longer tightly locked, his face often showed a long-lost smile, his meals were fragrant, and he regained his former vitality.

He couldn't describe what it was like to be under such a suffocating pressure.

When he learned that the Third Battlefleet of the Royal British Navy stationed in Calcutta had sent a detachment, his heart was really enveloped by great fear, and he couldn't sleep at night.

For an industrial economy like Australia, which is based on export-oriented ocean trade, there has never been such a thing as self-sufficiency, and the trade blockade alone is enough to plunge the Australian economy into the abyss and usher in a terrible chain reaction.

If he really encountered such an extreme situation, Li Fushou could only break the jar and order the Red Sea Trench Fortress to completely cut off the Eurasian trade routes of the British Empire.

It's a big deal to hurt each other, who's afraid of whom!

Now, the giant ship of the Ocean Kingdom has sailed through the stormy waves that are enough to capsize it, ushering in a calm voyage, and can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Fushou plans to take his wife, concubine and children to live in Songjiang City for a period of time next month, where the climate is cooler and more pleasant, far from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, suitable for vacation, relaxation and enjoyment of life.

There are no specific statistics on the total amount of money spent on the war, but roughly Li Fushou has a spectrum in his heart, in addition to the more than 30 million pounds prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, more than 23 million pounds of bank loans have also been used, plus more than 5.8 million pounds of special war taxes levied, the war expenses before and after are about 58 million pounds ~ 60 million pounds.

Among them, the capitation expenditure is the largest, and the huge army of more than 600,000 people has spent more than 40 million pounds on food, clothing, weapons and equipment, military salaries and bounties, as well as medical and health expenditures and war wounded pensions, or about 67 pounds per capita.

In addition, there are arms and ammunition, logistics expenses, etc., fortunately, most of the meritorious fields of the officers and soldiers are allocated by the occupied areas of the southern states free of charge, and the nobles reward the fiefdoms of the fiefs, which is really a huge amount of money, otherwise it would really be a big loss.

This is the case with the wars of the feudal kingdoms, the king is the leader of the war and the biggest beneficiary, and the main funds for waging the war must of course be paid by the royal family, which is a common practice in Europe.

Because the Spanish royal family was involved in the years of chaos between the vassal states of the German Confederation, the huge wealth obtained from the colonization of South America was spent, but it was not used to feed the domestic economy and the construction of people's livelihood, so the sharp decline of the Spanish Empire is the most typical negative example.

There are many monarchs in Europe who have gone bankrupt because of their involvement in successive wars, and the French Bourbon dynasty was among them, which eventually led to the fall of the Bourbon dynasty.

Fortunately, the Civil War was controlled within an acceptable scale, and Li Fushou did not need to worry about bankruptcy, and the money would be earned back in two or three years, which was not a big problem.

The big problem has been solved, but there are still some small things that annoy Li Fushou.

One of them is that the Citigroup government's minister in Australia has been staring behind his ass and buzzing, mainly because of the problem of Americans in Australia participating in the war, the property and life safety issues are entangled, and they even want to go to the southern states for field investigations.

How is that possible?

I'm afraid that the grave grass of these people is three feet high, not to mention that Li Fushou can't change people now, even if he does change people, he won't allow the Minister of Citigroup to make trouble.

There is no way, you can only use the word "drag";

Unfortunately, Mr. Honorable Minister, due to the chaotic security situation in the Southern State, your personal safety cannot be guaranteed, so it is not recommended that you visit the Southern State at this time, but we can arrange for you to visit Darwin, where the scenery is very beautiful.

It is a pity that, Mr. Honourable Minister, His Majesty the King will not be able to meet you in the near future.

Unfortunately, Mr. Honorable Minister, due to the loss of information due to the war, we are unable to give you accurate information, and now that social order is slowly being restored, please be patient.
