After the parties returned on the same day, they began to draw up a list of rehabilitation, and Chen Zhongsheng was nominally non-partisan, but in fact he was the executor of the Republican Party and the Ming Cooking Party.

The two parties quickly identified more than a dozen officials who had obviously been wronged, and quickly drew up a list.

It is not the key whether he is rehabilitated or not, the key is that Zhou Junyi must be rehabilitated. As for other officials who need to be rehabilitated, the other parties will provide the list, and then the discussion and vote will be held.

Basically, there is no suspense in the rehabilitation lists of the two parties, while the lists of other parties must be strictly controlled, and those who have lost their state or county, or who have been annihilated by anyone, will resolutely not be rehabilitated.

However, some parties mistakenly believe that this is Zhao Yan buying their hearts and preparing to give the world an amnesty, so they add everyone to it.

Naturally, it was a tragedy that the Republican Party and the Ming Cook Party only came up with a list of more than a dozen people, while the royalists gave a list of more than 30 people.

The lists of the Republicans and the Ming Cook Party passed without any suspense, and most of the 30-odd lists of the royalists also passed.

The most exaggerated are the Donglin Party, the Zhejiang Party, and the Kun Party, and the lists given by these huge parties are sprinkled with dozens of people, and some of them can even be traced back to the Jiajing period.

There were so many people and a lot of war of words that the cabinet had to postpone the process of rehabilitation, and proceed a little bit every day, starting with the living people in prison, and as for those who were in Jiajing, they would put it aside.

The cabinet always has a war of words from the morning to the morning meeting, and those parties are fighting for each other, if the Republicans and the Mingzhuo Party feel reasonable, then there is generally no problem with rehabilitation, if you listen to it and ignore it, then don't think about it, the entire cabinet has been controlled by Zhao Yan.

The resumption of the "Daming Newspaper" made a special report on the cabinet's rehabilitation process every day, and for a time the eyes of all provinces were focused on the issue of rehabilitation.

In addition, the cabinet actually gave tax exemption to the three northwestern provinces, and for a while, the eyes of all parts of the Ming Dynasty were condensed on the cabinet for a while.

…… In Shandong, it is busy.

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

Factories around the country have not stopped work because of the arrival of winter, and many are building factories.

Since Zhao Yan threw so many interest-free loans, coupled with the advanced technology of the Science and Technology Institute, he built a factory for a while, and many more people ran to the Science and Technology Institute.

In the whole year of Chongzhen's ten years, more than three million people poured into Shandong. Especially after Zhao Yan's expedition to the west, the population continued to enter Shandong.

Many of these people who came to Shandong stayed in Shandong because of Shandong's large-scale recruitment of workers, and some were preparing to emigrate to Liaodong and North Korea.

Recently, however, most of the ships have been dispatched to Yuben for transportation, and although there are more than 500 ships for offshore transportation, most of them are small, and their transportation capacity is still seriously insufficient.

Although stranded in Shandong, the treatment is not bad. There are two pieces of cotton jackets, and you can eat enough every day. This is undoubtedly a paradise for many people who live a hard life, and the only drawback is that they have not settled down and do not have a small family.

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

This year's road construction funds reached 3 million, and Zhao Yan returned to Shandong to see so many people stranded in Shandong, and increased the project funds by 2 million.

However, it is winter, and the road under construction has been suspended.

After a year of construction, the road has been opened, but only more than half of it is paved with reinforced concrete, and the first engineering brigade has accumulated a lot of experience in the construction of concrete roads in the past year.

As for the two provinces of Denglai, the roads of each fort and each tun have been repaired, and the traffic in the two provinces has been changed from traffic congestion, and the traffic will be unusually smooth.

In terms of traffic between Qingzhou and the West Three Prefectures, the traffic between the forts in Qingzhou is not a problem, the roads have been built, and the traffic in each tun has not been repaired much, but the terrain in Qingzhou is flat, and the traffic in each tun is not a problem. The traffic of the West Three Provinces has not been repaired, but the roads between the states and counties have been repaired, but the original traffic conditions of the West Three Provinces are very good, so the traffic of the whole Shandong can be said to be the best in the Ming Dynasty.

The main trade routes still surround the two major passages of the Jiaolai Highway and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. The Jiaolai Highway runs from Bohai Bay to Qingdao, transporting goods and sea salt from the north to the south by sea, or by the Huai River, or by the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, or to the ports of other provinces.

Although the sea is banned in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, smuggling is not uncommon, and the government also turns a blind eye, and no one will really investigate.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is the major water system connected by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is the most prosperous inland water route in Daming.

In this era, transportation mainly relied on waterways, and waterways were the best transportation routes. There are few places that can be reached by water, and only places that cannot be reached by waterway will be taken by land, but the cost of land transportation is also high.

As soon as Shandong's traffic is smooth, horse-drawn carriages can run smoothly, and there are more land transportation for a while, and the cost is not much higher than that of waterways.

Because it doesn't cost money to see a doctor and study, and Zhao Yan has been spending money all year round, Denglai Erfu has 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 the shortage, and the money in their pockets is naturally to be consumed, so although there is still some gap between the market of Denglai and the first-tier cities of the Ming Dynasty, it is much more than the consumption of civilians, but it is not strong in the consumption of luxury goods.

Because of the impact, the economy of the three provinces in the west has also developed greatly, and it has also become a huge market.

This market with greater demand is the foundation of Shandong's industrial and commercial development, because Zhao Yan has invested in an interest-free loan of 10 million taels, coupled with the establishment of trade barriers to protect Shandong's industry and commerce, so Shandong's industrial and commercial development has absolute momentum.

Some factories are still in operation after the winter, and the demand for workers has increased, and many people who have just immigrated to Shandong have found jobs immediately.

If we want to change the mentality of the small peasants, the working class must develop. Although there are still some deficiencies in agriculture and the foundation of industry and commerce is still slightly weak, this does not hinder the development of industry and commerce, because agriculture is also developing.

Under the transportation of more than 500 ships transporting goods near the sea, 200,000 people have already arrived in Liaodong.

Liaodong is currently under the command of Liu Heng, since the end of the Korean War, Liaodong has no war, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is greatly damaged, but they dare not go south to plunder, for a time a lot of peace.

After the people arrived in Liaodong, Liu Heng quickly resettled the people.

Liaodong is also a relatively large area with a large number of workers, shipyards need workers, and mines also need workers.

Eight commercial shipyards had been built to build shipyards, the Anshan iron ore mine was quickly up and running after being recaptured from the Manchus, and coal mines in eastern Liaodong were also mined.

There was not a single prisoner of labor reform or war in Liaodong, and all of them were dragged to Shandong, mainly because they were afraid that they would not be able to find them if they ran away in Liaodong, and it was basically impossible for them to run away in Shandong.

Although Handan's iron ore output is sufficient, the emergence of the steam engine means that the future demand for steel will increase greatly, and steel is required to build railways, to build ironclad ships and ships, to build steel, and to build steel, and industry to steel.

Soon we will enter a great age of steel.

For this reason, after the Anshan iron mine was recaptured, it did not take long to start building a blast furnace.

At the same time, winter is also the time to process cotton, and the cotton harvested from Xisanfu and eastern Henan began to be distributed to the people's homes for cotton ginning and seed extraction.

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

After exploration, the northern part of the DPRK is very rich in resources.

First of all, the water resources are much richer than Shandong, in the use of water power in Shandong, can be described as a good use of water power, but the water power will soon be eliminated by the steam engine, but it is very convenient to generate electricity in the future.

Second, North Korea has a huge open-pit iron mine, the Mosan 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, and these iron ores exist in the form of mines, which are world-class open-pit iron ores, which are very easy to mine.

In addition, North Korea is rich in coal resources, and although there is no oil on the Korean Peninsula, coal will be enough to supply North Korea with fuel in the future.

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

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

North Korea has been known as a gold-producing country since ancient times, and most of the gold mines are accompanied by silver and copper mines, and the reserves of precious metals are relatively high.

"These gold, silver and copper mines can produce nearly four million taels of silver worth every year, and more than 5 million taels of property have been found from the treasury of North Korea. Zhao Quan said to Zhao Yan. "Draw manpower from the local gold troops, immediately set up a North Korean gold brigade, and step up the mining of precious metals in North Korea." Zhao Yan was very excited when he heard that there were gold, silver and copper mines.

Precious metals, although they cannot increase the gross domestic product, are equivalent to printing tickets, and printing more tickets with a political axe is tantamount to stealing money from the pockets of the people.

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

With more precious metals, more manpower and material resources can be mobilized.
