"Of course, it is the people who carry foreign goods and sell smuggled salt the most." The boss said that the eyebrows flew and danced, "We Yunlongzhou east to Dali, south to Baoshan, west to Tengchong, Pianma, north to Lijiang, Zhongdian, all have post roads connected, merchants come and go frequently, and now there are garrisons, but also bring prosperity to Yunlongzhou." ”

Gao Junshan listened to the boss very carefully, and when he heard that there were people selling smuggled salt here, his heart seemed to be blocked by something, and he was very uncomfortable.

He asked again: "Your business is so prosperous, you must be making a lot of money, right?" ”

The boss looked sad: "Where and where, how can we earn more than the government?" The government takes the big head, and we take the small head. ”

Gao Junshan is unknown, isn't it twenty taxes now? How did it become the government's big deal? So he asked, "How did the government get the lion's share?" ”

"Ahem!" The boss sighed and said in a low voice, "I see that you are all distinguished guests from afar, so I might as well talk to you about it, just to vent the sulkness in my heart." Don't look at our business is doing well, sixty percent of the money we make has to be used to pay taxes. ”

Gao Junshan asked: "How is it sixty percent?" Didn't the imperial court implement a commercial tax of twenty taxes and one one? ”

The boss said: "The imperial court is the imperial court, do you want money for the toasts in various places?" They won't add a lot of weight to taxes? ”

"Your taxes are so heavy?"

The boss shook his head and said, "Don't say it, don't say it." so as not to provoke right and wrong. ”

After saying that, the boss went downstairs to arrange the food.

……

When Gao Junshan returned to the station, he immediately summoned Mu Tianbo.

Mu Wangfu has not been banned yet, in order to stabilize the overall situation of Yunnan, Gao Junshan allowed Mu Tianbo's throne to exist temporarily, and now that there is such a big problem in Yunnan, of course he wants to summon Mu Tianbo.

Mu Tianbo received the holy decree, did not dare to slack off, and immediately set off to meet Gao Junshan.

In order to promote the economic development of the minority nationalities, Gao Junshan decided to give a 30 percent dividend on the commercial tax received by the Tusi of Yunnan and Donghu Province, but the commercial tax must be levied on the merchants in strict accordance with the rate of 20 taxes and 1 tax, and the taxes of the merchants must not be increased under various names.

However, the salt tax and the mining tax must be 100 percent nationalized.

Mu Wangfu is quite prestigious among the toasts of Yunnan and Donghu, as long as Mu Tianbo acts in strict accordance with the laws of Huaxia Kingdom, the other major toasts will not dare to disobey.

The reason why Gao Junshan agreed to give 30% of the profits to the toasts in the commercial tax was because he fully took into account the interests of the toasts.

Mu Tianbo made a profound review of the current problems in Yunnan to Gao Junshan, and assured Gao Junshan that such a thing that contradicts the laws of the country will never happen again in the future.

Gao Junshan spoke highly of and affirmed Mu Tianbo's positive contributions to the reunification of China, and hoped that he would make greater contributions to the development and stability of Yunnan.

Mu Tianbo has repeatedly said that he will firmly safeguard Yunnan's stability and promote its economic development.

After meeting with Mu Tianbo, Gao Junshan sent a telegram to the Ministry of Commerce, ordering the Ministry of Commerce to immediately take over the salt industry in Yunnan and Donghu and crack down on local salt dealers.

After sober consideration, Gao Junshan decided to become a police force in the whole country, and the police force was subordinate to the Gongwei Division, whose duty was to safeguard national interests and social order, and to protect the safety of people's lives and property. The nature of this force is equivalent to that of the armed police force in later generations, with Sun Kewang as the commander of the police force.

Gao Junshan further determined that the local militia organizations are under the unified command of the police force, so that the police will be more powerful when exercising their powers.

Ten days later, six divisions of the 10th Army finally entered Taungoo.

Gao Junshan sent an order to Zhou Shichen and the 10th Army to send three divisions to be stationed in Siam's provinces of Nakhon Thammarat, Krabi, Phang Nga, Phuket, Surat Thani, Lanong, Chumphon, Songkhla, Satun, Trang, Bodalen, Pattani, Yela, and Tao Kong, which are collectively known as South Siam and are under the jurisdiction of Taungoo Province.

The newly occupied Taungoo was very vast, especially in the south of Burma and the Siam Sea, and it was necessary to form a naval fleet to control the access to the Indian Ocean.

At present, it was still difficult to organize a new fleet, so Gao Junshan ordered Sun Dahai's Ninth Army Corps to send two marine brigades to the coastal cities of South Siam and Donghu to strengthen the defenses of the coastal cities to prevent foreign forces from causing trouble.

In July, the convoy was fitted with a rubber-tired carriage and came to Yunlong Prefecture for the first time, and Gao Junshan decided to take a new carriage back to Jinling because he decided to stay in Yunlong Prefecture any longer.

The mission of the expedition was to solve the situation of the Luchuan Xuanwei Division and the Cheli Xuanwei Division paying tribute to Burma, but I did not expect that as soon as the two armies started the war, the battle became smoother and smoother, and finally overthrew the dynasty of King Mangda of Dian, and the land area extended to the coast of the Indian Ocean.

The original plan was to solve the problem and return to Annan, but now that the conquest army could not withdraw from Donghu, and in the rainy season, the 101st Division and other six divisions he brought could not be withdrawn, and they had to stay in Donghu to carry out their tasks, so Gao Junshan had to give up the plan to attack Annan and make plans after the overall situation of Donghu was stabilized.

If he didn't fight Annan, it no longer made sense for him to stay in Yunlong Prefecture, so he was in a hurry to return to Jinling.

He returned to Jinling not for his two concubines, but for Zheng He-class battleships.

He had seen the style of the carriage tires, and he was very satisfied, and his scholars fully understood what he meant, this tire was a copy of the tires of later generations, and it was decent, so Gao Junshan decided to take this kind of carriage with rubber tires installed and return to Jinling, even if the rainy season had not passed.

After three days of preparation, Gao Junshan was taken on the road in a carriage in the misty drizzle.

Fortunately, the weather began to clear out of Yunnan, and the further north you went, the better the weather became, and the speed of the carriage accelerated.

The time of departure from Jinling was the beginning of June of the previous year, after more than three months of journey to Yunlongzhou, and now return, because the wheels have been improved, it only took two months, Gao Junshan returned to the palace in Jinling.

This time in a new carriage, Gao Junshan found another problem, that is, the problem of the axle.

The problem of rubber wheels was solved, and in the process of riding, the problem of the axle was revealed. Along the way, the carriage had its tires changed three times, and the wheels had to be inflated every two days, but the axles were changed eight times.

The axle is too worn, what can be done to solve this problem? During this long-distance ride, Gao Junshan has deeply realized that the frequent replacement of axles has a great impact on the speed of the carriage.

How to solve this problem?
