After the parties returned that day, they began to draft a list of rehabilitation. Chen Zhongsheng was nominally non-party, but in fact he was the executor of the Republican Party and the Mingzhu Party.

The two parties quickly identified more than a dozen officials who were obviously wronged and quickly prepared the list.

Whether to rehabilitate or not is not critical. The key is that Zhou Junyi must be rehabilitated. As for other officials who need rehabilitation, other parties will provide a list and then discuss and vote.

There is basically no suspense about the rehabilitation list of the two parties, while the list of other parties must be strictly controlled. Those who lose their prefectures or counties, or those who kill people, will definitely not be rehabilitated.

However, some parties mistakenly believed that Zhao Yan was buying their people's hearts and preparing to have a general amnesty for the world, so they added everyone.

The next one was naturally very tragic. The Republican Party and the Mingzhu Party only took out a list of more than a dozen people, and the Royalist Party gave a list of more than 30 people.

The list of Republicans and Mingzhuan was passed without any suspense, and most of the list of more than 30 royalists were passed.

The most exaggerated ones are the Donglin Party, Zhejiang Party, Kun Party, and these huge parties, and dozens of people are even traceable back to the Jiajing period.

There were too many people and there were many wars of words. The cabinet had to delay the rehabilitation process, and carried out a little every day, starting with the living people who were imprisoned. As for those in Jiajing, let them aside first.

Every morning, the cabinet always starts with a war of words, and those parties are red in their faces. If the Republicans and Mingzhuan members feel reasonable, then there is no problem to rehabilitate them. If they listen to it, don't think about it. The entire cabinet has been controlled by Zhao Yan.

The re-issue of the "Da Ming Dynasty" reported the rehabilitation process of the cabinet every day, and the attention of the provinces was concentrated on the issue of rehabilitation.

In addition, the cabinet actually exempted taxes from the three northwest provinces, and for a moment, the eyes of all parts of the Ming Dynasty were concentrated on the cabinet.

...and in Shandong, it is busy.

It has entered early winter, but Shandong has not been idle. Piles of sweet potatoes have not yet been processed into dried powder, so all over the country are stepping up processing.

Factory areas have not stopped working due to the arrival of winter, and many are building factories.

Since Zhao Yan spent so many interest-free loans and the Academy of Sciences has advanced technology, the factory has been built for a while, and there have been many more people running to the Academy of Sciences.

During the ten years of Chongzhen, the population that poured into Shandong exceeded 3 million. Especially after Zhao Yan's expedition to the west, the population was continuously imported into Shandong.

Many of these people who came to Shandong remained in Shandong because Shandong was recruiting large-scale workers, while some were preparing to immigrate to Liaodong and North Korea.

However, most of the ships have been dispatched to Japan for transportation recently. Although there are more than 500 ships transported offshore, most of them are small, and their transportation capacity is still seriously insufficient. It is difficult to travel by land, so there are more immigrants stranded in Shandong.

Although I stayed in Shandong, my treatment was not bad. I had two cotton jackets and I could eat enough every day. This is undoubtedly a paradise for many people who have lived a hard life. The only flaw is that they have not settled down and have no small family.

At the same time, not only are factories recruiting workers in Shandong, but Zhao Yan's departments are also recruiting workers on a large scale. The largest number of workers is road construction workers.

The road construction fund this year reached 3 million. Zhao Yan returned to Shandong to see so many people stranded in Shandong, and added another two million yuan in project funds.

But it is winter now, and the roads under construction have also been shut down.

After a year of construction, the road has been opened, but only half of it is covered with reinforced concrete. The First Engineering Brigade has accumulated a lot of experience in the construction of concrete roads over the past year.

The roads in the two palaces, each fort and township have been built. Once the two palaces have changed the traffic jam, the traffic is extremely smooth.

In terms of transportation between Qingzhou and the three Western prefectures, the traffic between the Qingzhou forts is not a problem. The roads have been built, and the traffic in each town has not been repaired yet. However, Qingzhou is flat and the traffic in each town is not a problem. The traffic in the three Western prefectures has not been repaired, but the roads between the prefectures and counties have been repaired. However, the traffic in the three Western prefectures was very good, so the traffic in the entire Shandong was the best in the Ming Dynasty.

The main commercial routes are still around the Jiaolai Highway and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. The Jiaolai Highway comes from the Bohai Bay to Qingdao, transporting goods and sea salt from the north from Qingdao to the south, either by the Huai River, the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, or to ports in other provinces.

Although the sea bans were banned in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, smuggling was common, and the government turned a blind eye to it. No one would really investigate it.

Those who walk on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal are several major water systems connecting the goods through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is the most prosperous inland water route in the Ming Dynasty.

In this era, transportation mainly relies on waterways, and waterways are the best transportation routes. There are few places where waterways can be reached by land. Only places where waterways cannot be reached by land will be taken, but the cost of transportation by land will be higher.

Once the transportation in Shandong is smooth, carriages can travel smoothly, and more people will transport by land for a while, and the cost is not much higher than that of water.

Because he doesn't have money to go to a doctor and study, and Zhao Yan has been spending money all year round, the two palaces of Denglai have become a larger consumer market.

Because the people do not need to store any money, they only need to save some food to prepare for waste, so they naturally have to consume money in their pockets. Therefore, although the market in Denglai is still a little different from that in the first-tier cities of the Ming Dynasty, it is much more than the consumption of civilians, but it is not very effective in the consumption of luxury goods.

Because of the impact, the Western Prefectures have also developed greatly and have become a huge market.

This market with high demand is the basis for Shandong's industrial and commercial development. Because Zhao Yan spent 10 million taels of interest-free loans and established trade barriers to protect Shandong's industrial and commercial development, Shandong's industrial and commercial development has absolute momentum.

Some factories are still operating after the winter, and the demand for workers has also increased. Many people who have just immigrated to Shandong immediately found a job.

To change the small peasant minds, the working class must develop. Although there are still some shortcomings in agriculture and the foundation of industry and commerce is still slightly weak, it does not hinder the development of industry and commerce, because agriculture is also developing.

With more than 500 ships transported offshore, 200,000 people have arrived in Liaodong.

Liaodong is currently under command by Liu Heng. Since the end of the Korean War, there has been no war in Liaodong. The Qing Dynasty was severely damaged, but he did not dare to go south to rob, and he became much more peaceful for a while.

After the people arrived in Liaodong, Liu Heng asked someone to quickly resettle the people.

Liaodong is also a relatively large area of ​​labor. Shipyards require workers and mines also require workers.

Eight commercial shipyards have already started building shipyards. After recapturing them from the Qing Dynasty, Anshan Iron Mine has also started construction and operation quickly. At the same time, coal mines in Liaodong have also begun to be mined.

There were no war criminals in Liaodong, and they were all taken to Shandong, mainly because they were afraid that these people would not be found in Liaodong, and in Shandong it would be basically impossible for them to escape.

Although the iron ore production in Handan is sufficient, the emergence of steam engines means that the demand for steel in the future will increase greatly. Steel is needed to build railways, iron armored ships, steel is needed to ships, steel is needed to build construction, and steel is needed to build industries.

It will soon enter a great era of steel.

For this reason, the Anshan Iron Mine began to build a blast furnace not long after it was recaptured.

At the same time, winter is also the time to process cotton. The cotton collected from Xisanfu and eastern Henan begins to be distributed to people's homes for cotton ginning and seeds.

The court had done it, and Zhao Yan focused on the development of Liaodong and North Korea.

After exploration, northern North Korea has abundant resources.

First of all, the hydraulic resources are much richer than Shandong. In Shandong, which uses hydraulic power, it can be said to be a good hydraulic utilization land, but the hydraulic power will soon be eliminated by the steam engine, but it is very convenient to generate electricity in the future.

Secondly, North Korea has a huge open-pit iron ore - Maoshan Iron Mine.

According to Zhao Yan's memory, there are more than 20 mines in Maoshan Iron Mine, with iron ore reserves of about one billion tons. These iron ores exist in the form of mines and are world-class open-pit iron ore, which are very easy to mine.

In addition, North Korea has very rich coal resources. Although there is no oil on the Korean Peninsula, in later generations, coal is enough to supply North Korea's fuel.

Among the nearly 15 billion tons of coal reserves, anthracite is nearly 12 billion tons, but coking coal is relatively in short supply.

In addition, after taking full control of North Korea, Zhao Yan took over 31 gold mines, 35 silver mines, and more than 50 copper mines from the North Korean government.

North Korea has been known as the Jin Kingdom since ancient times. At the same time, most gold mines are accompanied by silver and copper mines, and the reserves of precious metals are relatively high.

"These gold, silver and copper ores can produce nearly four million taels of silver every year, and more than five million taels of property were found in North Korea's treasury. After clearing the Qing army, they obtained more than two million taels of property. It can be said that after swallowing North Korea, the military expenditure this year was enough." Zhao Quan said to Zhao Yan. "People were drawn from the local gold troops and the North Korean gold brigade was immediately established to speed up the mining of North Korea's precious metals." Zhao Yan was very excited when he heard that there were gold, silver and copper ores.

Although precious metals cannot increase GDP, they are like printing money. If you print more money from government axes, you are robbing money from the pockets of ordinary people.

However, in this era of precious metals as coins, it is not to grab money from the people, but to grab money from the whole world, because precious metals are recognized in every country that is out of ignorance.

Having more precious metals can mobilize more manpower and material resources.
