In April 1655, Tobe's year-end report was placed on the table of Takayama.

In 1654 the income increased by sixty percent over the previous year, which was already a very good result, although it was twenty percent less than the previous year, but the general trend was to develop in a good direction.

In terms of the items that received income, the growth of industrial output value has exceeded 90 percent, close to 100 percent, that is to say, it has doubled. It is mainly manifested in the export items of soap, glass, chemical fertilizer, textile, papermaking, iron and steel, cement, ceramics, shipbuilding, etc., and industrialized production has stimulated the development of foreign trade; according to the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce, last year's export income increased by 120 percent over the year before.

The shrinking trend is the income of agriculture, because the Huaxia Kingdom suddenly increased a large area of grain-producing areas, especially the rice income of Manchester, Yangon and other places, all of which were incorporated into the grain depots of the Huaxia State, so that the people of the whole country were no longer short of grain, and the Xiaoice River period could no longer affect China.

Gao Junshan ordered the household department to allocate state-owned grain to the common people at ultra-low prices, which led to a sharp drop in grain prices in China and a sharp decrease in the volume of transactions. Originally, the export of rice from Yangon, Manchester City, and other places was 90 percent lower than last year due to the policy intervention of Gao Junshan, especially after driving out the Dutch, and the export of agricultural products was effectively controlled.

These are the reasons for the sharp decline in agricultural incomes.

Although agricultural incomes have dropped sharply, this has not affected the improvement of the peasants' living standards, because the rice subsidy policy in the high mountains is distributed to each peasant household according to the household register, and different levels of subsidy policies are set up according to different regions. In other words, the state subsidized the peasants affected by the Xiaoice period, so that these farmers did not suffer from poverty because of the reduction in land production.

Although Gao Junshan was far away in Yangon, because the imperial decrees of the Huaxia State were smooth and the mechanism was sound, the emperor's will could be implemented 100 percent, and Gao Junshan's civilian policy benefited the people of the whole country.

In order to prevent unnecessary panic, Gao Junshan did not tell anyone about the climate change of the Xiaoice period, and even Bailisha, who he trusted the most, did not know about the existence of the Xiaoice period.

As for the peasants in the north, Gao Junshan adopted administrative measures and forcibly allowed them to engage in diversified operations, so that the peasants' labor was unconsciously reduced and wasted on farmland production.

Gao Junshan knew that the farmers in the areas affected by the Xiaoice River would not have a good return even if they worked hard, but he could not tell them clearly, so he could only take administrative measures to help them get rich.

Rice in Southeast Asia has brought new life to the whole of North China.

The coming year will be even better. Gao Junshan is full of confidence. Because Gao Junshan began to adjust the direction of the country's industrial development last year, he stopped heavy military production, such as the construction of steam engine battleships, all of which were stopped, and the shipyard is currently building civilian steam engine passenger (cargo) ships, once these ships are put into transportation, it will greatly increase the output value of industry and agriculture.

In addition to the construction of ships, Gao Junshan also invested in the country's key construction on the construction of railways and ports.

"When the train rings, there are ten thousand taels of gold." This is what the people of Weihu Mountain said, think about it, when the train of the whole country sounds, there is more than ten thousand taels of gold!

The completion of Shanghai, Hong Kong, Manchester City, Yangon, Vladivostok, and Cam Ranh Bay will bring great economic development to China!

On May 3, Gao Junshan welcomed two of his working groups in Yangon, one for rubber and one for oil.

These two working groups have made significant contributions to China's scientific and technological progress, and now Gao Junshan wants them to exert their heat in Southeast Asia.

Gao Junshan received all the members of the two working groups in his villa.

At the banquet, Gao Junshan excitedly said to his students: "Yangon is the most prosperous city in Southeast Asia in China, where the four seasons are like spring, the climate is pleasant, I hope you will settle down in Yangon, take your family over, I will reward each of you with a luxury villa in Yangon!" ”

Gao Junshan's announcement made the students present excited, and they knew better than anyone else the value of a luxury villa in Yangon.

Gao Junshan continued: "You can work in Nanyang with peace of mind, Yangon is currently building a railway, you don't know, with the railway, it will bring great convenience to your travel, the shipping here is already very developed, and the wharf is still under construction, so you can rest assured that you will come over like home." Let me tell you, in 10 years, Rangoon may have planes. ”

"Airplanes? How is this possible? Some of his students didn't believe it, although in previous teachings, Gao Junshan had taught them the principles of airplanes.

Gao Junshan said: "Don't believe it, as long as you work hard, you can cultivate rubber forests and extract oil here in Southeast Asia, and with rubber and oil, it is not a dream to fly to the sky." ”

The students have expressed their determination to Gaojun Mountain, and they must move their families to Yangon and dedicate their lives to the great and glorious cause of science and technology.

Gao Junshan raised his glass: "Cheers to our cause!" ”

……

Rubber trees like high temperature, high humidity, quiet wind and fertile soil, requiring an average annual temperature of 26~27 °C, in the range of 20~30 °C can grow and produce rubber normally, not cold-tolerant, in the temperature below 5 °C that is frost damage. The average annual precipitation is required to be 1150~2500 mm, but it is not suitable for planting in low humid places. It is suitable for the growth of deep, fertile and moist acidic sandy loam soils with good drainage. Shallow roots, the branches are fragile, the adaptability to the wind is poor, and the susceptibility to wind cold and reduce the amount of rubber produced.

The climate of Southeast Asia is tropical rainforest climate (Malay Peninsula) and tropical monsoon climate (Indochina Peninsula), with high temperature and rain throughout the year, which is very suitable for the growth of rubber trees.

At present, the countries of the Malay Peninsula have become vassal states of the Huaxia State, and the Indochina Peninsula has basically become the territory of the Huaxia State except for Siam. So, these places, the rubber working group can go wherever it wants.

The area of the Indochina Peninsula alone is more than 2 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to the total area of the provinces and cities south of the Yangtze River. The Malay Peninsula, on the other hand, is 700 nautical miles long from north to south and 200 nautical miles at its widest point.

With such a vast area, it is comparable to climbing to the sky that a working group can discover underground oil in a short period of time.

Gao Junshan knew the difficulty of oil exploration, so he assigned an area to the oil working group, which only needed to explore oil near Yangon, and the oil in other areas was slowly explored later.

After a grand pledge meeting, the two working groups set off for their respective battlefields.

sent away the working group, and ushered in Bai Wenxuan of the Fourth Army.

Bai Wenxuan was the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, and he led the Fourth Army Corps to India and made a special trip to Yangon to meet Gao Junshan, and the purpose of this visit was to ask Gao Junshan for advice.

Gao Junshan told Bai Wenxuan that India is not yet a unified country, but there are many city-states, similar to princes. The way to deal with them is to divide and conquer, and use Indians of different nationalities and religions to contain each other.
