What Zhang Buyun said is a good idea. People on the Indochina Peninsula are better than monkeys in Nanyang, so it should be good to catch them and build roads.

"Then let's get some on Jiaozhi first." Zhao Yan thought about it and said. Zhang Buyun got Zhao Yan's approval and went down to explain.

...On February 13th, Zhaojiabao was a little busy because Yuan'er was about to give birth, but everything was prepared for it, and it was not particularly chaotic.

The midwife was ready, and when Yuan'er responded, she immediately began to deliver the baby under the guidance of the midwife.

Zhao Yan was waiting quietly outside the delivery room, thinking in his heart, what name he had to give his son or daughter? As for whether to give birth to a boy or a daughter, Zhao Yan was not very flirting. This was not something he could decide at all, and it felt like a boy or a girl to him!

After waiting outside for nearly half an hour, I finally heard the cry of a baby for a lifetime.

Five minutes later, the door opened and several female doctors walked out, one of whom was holding a little guy wrapped in a soft blanket, with little smiles on the doctors' faces.

Zhao Yan walked over, took the little guy over and hugged him, reached out and touched the little guy's cheek, and asked with a smile: "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Report to the general that it is a girl, and both mother and daughter are safe and sound." The doctor replied.

"Haha! Not bad." Zhao Yan laughed happily after hearing the midwife's answer, and said to the midwife: "You go to the account room to receive the reward!"

"Yes, General."

After several doctors left, Zhao Quan stood aside and was a little silent. He looked at Zhao Yan, and comforted him for a while: "Young Master, don't be too anxious about this matter, there is time."

Zhao Yan couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, saying, "What am I worried about? Boys and girls are the same. Since they are the eldest daughter, then she will be Her Majesty the Queen in the future."

"Ah?" Zhao Quan was stunned.

"Yan'er, you're still slowing down outside, why don't you come in quickly." Zhang's roar came from the delivery room, and Zhao Yan hurriedly walked into the room with his daughter in his arms, "Here you come."

There were a group of women in the room, Yan Yuyao, Shalena and Zhang, all of them were inside. The two maids were busy serving Yuan'er. Zhao Yan came to the bed to sit down. Yuan'er said to Zhao Yan with some sadness: "Husband, Yuan'er has disappointed you."

"I'm not disappointed." Zhao Yan smiled and shook his head, and kissed Yuan'er on the forehead. He felt a little ridiculous. I think few people understand his thoughts in this era.

What does your daughter have? Let her be the queen! It’s the same. It just so happens that we will advocate equality between men and women in the future, so it’s better to have a queen.

Zhang's mood was obviously not very high. After all, Yuan'er gave birth to a granddaughter, not a grandson, but Zhao Yan did not announce the decision in his heart. Only Zhao Quan heard it, but he didn't understand whether Zhao Yan was serious.

Then Zhao Yan named his daughter Zhao Wan, a very ordinary but very friendly name.

The little guy is fat and has a vague face that looks like Zhao Yan, which makes Zhao Yan very happy. He thinks that girls will be more beautiful if they look like dads.

Since Xiao Zhao Wan was born, everyone can see that Zhao Yan likes this daughter very much. Invitations for the full moon wine have been distributed everywhere, and Zhao Yan decided to hold a grand full moon wine for Xiao Zhao Wan.

After Chongzhen received the invitation in the capital, he couldn't help but laughed gloatingly, but it was obviously just to entertain himself.

"Your Majesty, then are we going?" Cao Huachun asked.

"I won't go, is it that easy for me to invite?" Chongzhen snorted.

...On the ninth day of the third month, King Ruan Phoenix of Jiaozhi was escorted to Shandong.

Journalists from various newspapers and Royal Daily Newspapers in Shandong followed up and reported, and each newspaper was speculating on what kind of punishment the King of Jiaozhi would receive.

Many intellectuals discussed in newspapers, and some believed that the King of Jiaozhi might return to Jiaozhi and continue to be his vassal king.

Some people think that the Jiaozhi King will be cut off his head. These are all more extreme predictions.

On March 11, General Jianwei ordered the transfer of the King of Jiaozhi to the Shandong Military Court for trial. The Shandong Military Court sentenced Nguyen Phoenix to life imprisonment on the grounds that Nguyen Phoenix provoked border war crimes.

The cabinet then announced the restoration of the "Jiaozhi Governor's Office" and the recovery of the hometown of China.

On March 12, Shandong sent 20,000 armed police to Jiaozhi, and sent Jiaozhi governors, governors and other officials to Jiaozhi to establish administration.

On March 13th, Zhao Yan held a full moon banquet for the girl, and celebrities from all over the world came.

Zhao Yan seemed very happy that day, and the full moon banquet was so grand that many people were puzzled. As for the people's hearts, it was still very stable.

Whether or not a son has no effect on the entire Shandong Zhengfu, and the earth will still turn. However, no one knows that Zhao Yan will make Xiao Zhao Wan the queen in the future.

After the full moon wine, Zhao Yan personally taught classes to the businessmen who participated in the full moon wine, calling on them to invest in more infrastructure projects.

There are many investment projects in infrastructure, including railways, highways, power stations, and telegrams. Making money is on the one hand, and contributing to national construction is on the other hand.

There are many projects that make money, but infrastructure is more important, which can reduce the financial pressure on the government.

In terms of financial resources, many businessmen have strong capital, among which the most powerful ones are Shandong merchants. At this time, Shandong merchants came from all over the Ming Dynasty. They moved their families to Shandong, and they valued the stability of Shandong and the protection of personal property.

Article 1 of Shandong Law means that personal legal property is sacred and inviolable, and this law is also written into the new "Da Ming Law".

However, the Ming Dynasty law is also useful in provinces controlled by Shandong Zhengfu, so more and more businessmen come to Shandong, not only vigorously protecting personal property here, but also have the most business opportunities in Shandong.

Most of the merchants with vision and those who dared to take risks in the Ming Dynasty came to Shandong.

The entire Shandong business group has more than tens of thousands of people with capital exceeding 10,000 taels, and more than one million taels have already appeared in the original Shandong business gang.

However, Zhao Yan's call was only responded by some merchants, who still value money very much.

Zhao Yan is not in a hurry, his ideas can be changed slowly.

After the full moon wine ended, Zhaojiabao returned to peace.

Just walking on the street, people will find that everyone is in a hurry, and in the center of this emerging political system, they are operating in an orderly manner every day. Everyone can feel the vibrant atmosphere in this central area.

Everyone can easily find a job and direction, and there is no confusion about the future. Some people want to live a peaceful and stable life in Shandong, while others want to strive for a better life through hard work, and there are many roads to brightness. Doing business, joining the army, and studying can all lead to a bright future.

The learning army is the largest, and midnight snacks are held in various places, and these midnight snacks are taught by teachers at school at night.

Every night school is full, and having knowledge has become the basic condition for working hard in Shandong and the most convenient channel.

This year, there will be 160,000 primary school graduates, varying in age. Those younger will be sent to middle schools, while those older will be the focus of competition among the Ministry of Administration, Education, Medical and other departments.

The current situation is that as long as you come out of school, you don’t have any future. Teachers and doctors have high salaries.

Currently, education is still developing towards popularizing primary education, while secondary education is not sufficiently well-off. In the absence of advanced education, vocational education becomes important.

Various technical schools have been held in Shandong this year, and various training classes have been held one after another.

Knowledge is wealth. The truth of this sentence was not valued at all in later society because wealth was seized by others.

In this era, the Ming Dynasty is the strongest, most developed and most technologically advanced country in the world, and its wealth is controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

Intellectuals are very respected in society, and basically no one will have a contemptuous attitude towards intellectuals.

In the administrative area of ​​Shandong Zhengfu, every citizen has the opportunity to receive education, but the opportunities are not equal at present. Only those who are at the age of education can enter school. Those who are not at the age of education can only go to night schools or training classes first.

Although the opportunity for education is not equal enough, it is developing in the same direction. Moreover, education is free, and everyone has opportunities, which only concerns whether the individual is willing to learn.

If young people want to learn culture, then joining the army is a good way. Receiving cultural education in the army is much more professional than in night schools.

It is easy to join the army now. Now he is a conscript. Anyone under the age can sign up for joining the army, and his physical fitness requirements have also been reduced.

After enlisting in the army, conscripts will still be assigned according to their physical fitness. Those with poor physical fitness will be assigned to the second-line troops, and those with good physical fitness will be supplemented to the combat troops.

As long as you join the army for three years, you can retire. Excellent people can become professional soldiers. If you leave the army, you will be a educated person.

Education is developing every day, and in infrastructure construction, more and more Japanese slaves have been transported back since the beginning of the year, and the number of Japanese slaves at the road construction site has increased dramatically.

In terms of railways, by March, most of the rails from Shandong to Shanxi were paved. On the railway lines that started construction in North Korea and Northeast China last year, the railways were also paved, and half of the rails on the Jingpu Railway were paved.

The construction of water conservancy in the Yellow River and Yangtze River Basin is also in full swing. Dies and irrigation canals are being strengthened everywhere. If so much money is spent, the water conservancy can be built to a good level this year. With the increase of Japanese slaves, the number of projects in water conservancy can be more.

There are more roads built, and provincial roads from Shandong to various provinces will be renovated this year, and all of them are paved with steel and concrete.

The investors mainly include Denglai Bank, and the provincial roads are leveled and four-wheeled carriages with stronger loads can be boarded.

The number of workers involved in the construction has soared to more than four million, and many poor people who are unwilling to immigrate have gone to work.

There must be some impact on agriculture.

Large-scale recruitment of workers in various places has resulted in landlords not having long-term workers or tenants, and for this reason, there are millions of acres of abandoned land. In this case, some landlords raise the wages of long-term workers, reduce the rent of tenants, and stabilize production. Some landlords prefer to stay idle rather than reduce the rent of tenants, which is the fundamental reason for the desolation of land.

However, agriculture has also produced a great positive trend after last year's water conservancy construction. Agriculture in the southern region has recovered very quickly, especially in the Huguang region, where the farming area has increased significantly.

Huguang area is still threatened by locust plague. As soon as Shandong officials arrived at the beginning of the year, they immediately transferred many oxen and horses to send them to farmers to cultivate land, and at the same time began to fight locusts.
