The Qin Expeditionary Army.

"The Parthians need a lot of arms and weapons." Tu Sui said.

"But we currently don't have such a large inventory, especially the inventory of flintlocks. It is not enough. We can't give them our own weapons. This is absolutely impossible." Tu Sui continued.

"Yes, sir, if the rear transportation supply line is not restored, we will not be able to solve such a problem at all. The only way, this is our only way." Tu Meng said.

"Yeah. But it will take some time to wait for logistical supplies. If these garrisons wait for a long time, morale is also a big problem." Tu Sui said worriedly.

"Sir, we can only stabilize the peace of mind at present, and can't let the situation get out of control. We can further negotiate with the details of the terms to stabilize the situation of the other party." Tu Meng suggested.

"At present, it seems that this can only be done." Tu Sui said. With his offensive officers, it is difficult to maintain his current state in a defensive state.

State of Zhao, Handan.

"Congratulations, congratulations. Boss Zhao Chuan. No, he should be the general manager now." A businessman who looked like Zhao Guo in his early thirties congratulated Zhao Chuan.

"Haha. It turned out to be Brother Li, please come inside." Zhao Chuan welcomed him with a smile.

"Brother Zhao opened on the first day, and I will have business to deliver to the door." Brother Li said with a smile.

"Oh. I don't know what kind of business it is?" Zhao Chuan asked curiously.

"This is the business of this stock. Now the stock is rising so strongly, many people are buying, but they have no money. If you can provide a lot of funds at this time, I think the money will be made soon. Come back." Brother Li said with a smile.

"Oh. Well, I think it’s better for me to refuse. The stock market is too risky. I think Brother Li also knows that I also made some money from the stock market. But there are some of them. How big the risk is. I am a little worried now." Zhao Chuan said.

"This. Brother Zhao, this is a business delivered." Brother Li said puzzledly.

"This stock business is too risky. Stocks cannot keep rising. There are always times when they fall. Therefore, we can't put our funds in such a dangerous place. This is a huge disaster for our bank. I can't Seeing that such a risk exists." Zhao Chuan said, shaking his head.

"But, other small banks, I saw them doing this. I heard that they have made a lot of money." Brother Li said with a smile.

"I don’t care about this. I don’t know how much others earn, and I don’t want to know. However, I myself come from the stock market, and the money is also earned in this way. A big crisis, you know, for us, if all such a situation is gone, it is a disaster. It cannot be done, and it must not be done.” Zhao Chuan said firmly.

In Zhao Guo, like Zhao Chuan, many people made money and they opened banks, but some of these small banks re-lent a large amount of funds to those investors, and these investors got a lot of money from bank loans. After that, it was put on the stock market again. In this way, the bank's funds pushed up the stock market again, but now for the stock market, they need more funds. The more funds, the better.

But Zhao Chuan seems to have realized the risks. They put a lot of money in the industry and are unwilling to invest in the stock market because the risk is too high. They must control the existence of this potential risk.

State of Zhao, Handan.

"We have dispatched an officer regiment of about 300 people, and the noncommissioned officer regiment went to Korea to observe the state of Chu. Some other officers believed that the state of Zhao should organize some military forces overseas to establish our own colony in the state of Zhao. I heard that. , They have lobbied the various councillors, and such calls seem to be getting louder and louder." Li Zuoche reported to Li Mu.

"Zhao's army is seriously insufficient, and it is unlikely to undertake the task of external expansion." Li Mu said.

"But there are many people with this kind of thinking. They think that only by expanding abroad can we solve the current plight of Zhao, especially the treatment of soldiers. It is difficult for soldiers to stand up if they don't fight." Li Zuoche said.

"These are all things discussed by members. If they want to fight, then please add Zhao's small defense budget to solve all the problems of the soldiers, and then we will talk about other issues." Li Mu said solemnly. To.

With the great victory of the Han and Chu coalition forces in Mengla, this greatly stimulated the inaction of the Zhao army. Some young Zhao army soldiers believed that the Zhao country’s armed forces were not inferior to the Han and Chu coalition forces, and that the Zhao country should have its own. For colonies, especially overseas, Zhao must have a colony of its own to meet Zhao's territorial needs.

"But the ideas of the upper and lower houses are very different." Li Zuoche continued.

"Oh?" Li Mu looked at Li Zuoche.

"The House of Commons is opposed to Zhao Jun’s external expansion, because the first thing to do is to levy taxes on them. Although Zhao’s nobles also pay taxes, they don’t have a lot of taxes. On the contrary, businessmen have to pay a lot of commercial taxes. In terms of budget, the only source of fiscal funds is the business tax of their businessmen. Although we cannot increase business tax rates, we can increase business taxes to increase tax revenue. Therefore, for a large number of businessmen, the House of Commons they represent opposes our external expansion. However, up The House of Representatives is different. They have a lot of resources in Zhao’s hands, but they only pay a small portion of their taxes, because they control heavy industry, tax exemptions, and tax cuts. Under such circumstances, they hope to pass The way of war greatly stimulated their industrial production. Therefore," Li Zuoche said.

“Therefore, the House of Lords approves of war, while the House of Commons opposes war. The main issue is still taxation. If there is a big problem with taxation, we cannot dispatch soldiers or conduct combat missions.” Li Zuoche said.

"Well. I personally oppose foreign warfare because the current situation in Zhao is very bad. In particular, the financial situation has not changed much. This requires a period of accumulation. However, for the moment, it seems that the nobles are better than us. Be anxious." Li Mu said.

"But we can also do some things, such as sending an officer observation mission to let them see the situation, if domestic conditions permit. We will discuss the issue of sending troops. Only in this way can we stop the voices of opposition and approval from the hospitals." Li Mu Speaking of this.
