Thirdly, the city of Songyang Pass was narrow, and the 1,500 garrisons of Dayi Ningguo were relatively crowded, so there was no need to station a large number of troops at all. It is suggested that the garrison of Songyang Pass should be controlled within 1,200 people, and that Pingyang Pass in the back could be reduced to the level of the Inspection Division, and that Yin Quan, the defense envoy, be transferred back to Ningzhou, mainly responsible for the construction and management of the vigilante battalion.

He Shoujie finally explained that although the number of military personnel has been reduced, the strengthening of the volunteer police battalion as a supplement will undoubtedly minimize the impact of the reduction of the army, so there is no need for us to worry about the safety of Yunnan.

Summing up the different propositions of the three of them, Li Yi solemnly pointed out after some deliberation that at present, Yunnan should shift its main energy to economic construction. The presence of the army is necessary, but the military strength of Yunnan will not be weakened by strengthening the construction of the 'Yunnan Lecture Hall' and the vigilante battalion.

In addition, the reduction of the number of military personnel is inevitable, and the existence of redundant personnel in the army will increase the burden on the people. The transfer of some military personnel to the vigilante battalion can effectively reduce military expenditures, enhance the government's ability to manage local affairs, and fully maintain local law and order.

So Li Yi made a preliminary decision. 1. Increase the number of students in each session of the 'Yunnan Lecture and Martial Arts Hall' to 60, and the study period will remain unchanged. However, the number of people has increased, the quality of education must not be reduced, and the level of training must be continuously improved.

2. Adjust the personnel of the various customs defense forces. Pingyang Pass was demoted to the inspection department, the number of military personnel was reduced to 200, and the former defense envoy Yin Quan was promoted to the deputy commander of the Ningzhou Mabu Army, specifically responsible for the management and construction of the vigilante battalion. The number of troops in Songyang Pass was tentatively set at 1,200, and Wei Jing was still the defense envoy.

The personnel of the Baiwu Pass and the Yuezhou Wei Army are both 800 people, and Zhang Bo and Cheng Xun are still serving as the defense envoys of the two passes. The number of troops in the Ningzhou battalion was reduced from 1,360 to 1,200. The commander of the Ningzhou battalion is still concurrently served by Jian Zheng, and is directly responsible for the management of the cavalry battalion. Li Hui served as the deputy commander of the Ningzhou battalion and was also in charge of the logistics battalion. Wan Hong is still the commander of the Pudao Battalion.

In addition, due to the addition of the Pingyang Customs Inspection Division, the number of inspection divisions in Yunnan has increased to eight, and the number of military personnel in all inspection divisions has been reduced to 200, bringing the total number of personnel in all inspection divisions to 1,600. The number of military personnel in Yunnan as a whole is exactly 5,600, a decrease of about 1,000 from before, and all these people have been transferred to the vigilante battalion to increase the strength of the vigilante battalion.

3. Vigorously strengthen the construction of vigilante battalions. The original number of personnel in the volunteer battalion was only 230, but after the increase of 1,000 personnel, the number of personnel in the volunteer battalion has risen sharply to more than 1,200, and its combat effectiveness has been markedly enhanced. In addition to Yin Quan, the deputy commander of the Ma Bujun in Ningzhou, who is fully responsible for the management, the main specific work is still in charge of Zhao Fan, the commander of the vigilante battalion.

The main task of the vigilante battalion is to assist the government in apprehending thieves, concentrate on cracking down on small bandits, maintain the normal flow of commodity trade, protect the lives and property of the people, and maintain social order. When invaded by foreign forces, he is responsible for guarding the city. Its main force is concentrated in the Qipan Villa, and the officers and men of the other vigilante battalions are stationed in the other three places as mobile deployment forces.

For Li Yi's arrangement, including Jian Zheng, all the members of the executive meeting expressed their heartfelt approval. To be honest, Li Yi's arrangement is actually a compromise plan, which only strengthens the military strength of the vigilante battalion, and does not break the army's bones, which is also the result of balancing the interests of all parties.

Next, the executive meeting discussed the direction of future economic development.

Regarding the work in this regard, Zheng Wenzhong and Qian Shitang both expounded their views.

Zheng Wenzhong pointed out that at present, Yunnan's economic strength in all aspects has been markedly improved, and Yunnan's internal transactions have flourished and developed, and trading and investment have been active, which has brought about earth-shaking changes in the economic situation of Yunnan as a whole.

Moreover, due to Yunnan's preferential and encouraging measures in terms of customs and trade taxation and trade environment, the proportion of foreign trade has continued to increase, and the trade volume in the past 10 months this year has been more than five times that of last year, and it is still increasing.

Therefore, in view of the current economic situation, as the leading force of foreign trade, the Caoyun Division, the composition of personnel can no longer meet the requirements of economic development, and it is necessary to take practical measures to strengthen it in an all-round way. At present, what the Cao Transport Department lacks most is the talent in foreign trade and tariff management, and it is hoped that the Xuanfu embassy will attach great importance to this.

Qian Shitang also put forward his own viewpoint: Now, thanks to the mobile force of the vigilante battalion, the pressure on public order at all levels has been sharply reduced. However, due to the rapid development of economic construction, many government deacons, etc., can no longer meet the needs of trade development, and urgently need talents who know how to operate and manage.

Like the Tianmen Market, which is about to be expanded this time, it will become the largest commodity trading place near and far because it connects merchants from the south to the north, and the trade volume will definitely be dozens of times that of the past, and there is considerable difficulty in management. Therefore, vigorously training business and trade personnel is the most important task at present, and it is hoped that the government can take targeted measures.

In addition, due to the three consecutive wars this year, the official treasury is already stretched, coupled with the huge construction cost of Tianmen Market, and the construction of schools in various places has been basically ready, a lot of money has been invested before, and there are regular expenditure of operation and maintenance costs, which is a fixed expenditure.

Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, okay? In addition to asking for money, can you be a little creative! Of course, according to the current tax system, the taxes are basically included in Yunnan's books, and the local government can only wait for Yunnan to allocate it downward, and can only spend as much as it wants.

Actually, this is not a disadvantage, just imagine, if the local government has the right to collect taxes, they still don't know how to set up a name and apportionment indiscriminately! So! Li Yi has already considered this issue more maturely, and he will never allow the local government to make its own claims.

Therefore, the power of taxation must be in the hands of the Yunnan Xuanfu Embassy, and the Yunnan side should set tax items and strictly supervise them, and strictly prohibit local governments from collecting taxes on their own. This is a matter of principle that no one should overstep or else must be severely punished.

In any case, there are indeed many irrationalities in the current tax arrangement, and it is necessary to vigorously reform them. Just as Lu Lizhan suggested to Li Yi a few days ago, we should completely abolish the poll tax and adopt the method of 'apportioning the land into the mu' to reduce the burden of the people, increase people's income, promote the growth of the population, and maintain a virtuous circle of growth in Yunnan's economic development.
