Zhang Buyun said that it is a good idea, the people on the Indochina Peninsula are better than the monkeys in the South Seas, and it should be good to catch them and build roads.

"Then let people scratch some on Cochin first." Zhao Yan thought about it for a while and said, Zhang Buyun got Zhao Yan's approval, so he went down to explain.

…… On February 13, Zhao Jiabao was a little busy, because Yuan'er was about to give birth, but everything was prepared in advance, and it was not particularly chaotic.

The midwife was already ready, and as soon as Yuan'er reacted, she immediately began to deliver the baby under the guidance of the midwife.

Zhao Yan waited quietly outside the delivery room, thinking in his heart, what name he had to give his son or daughter, as for giving birth to a boy or a girl, Zhao Yan was not very careful, this was not something he could decide at all, and it was a boy and a girl who felt the same for him!

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

After five minutes, the door opened, and several female doctors walked out, one of them holding a little guy wrapped in a soft blanket, and the doctors did not have many smiles on their 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?" ”

"Tell the general, it's a girl, and the mother and daughter are safe." The doctor replied.

"Huh! Not bad. Zhao Yan listened to the midwife's answer, laughed happily, and said to the midwife: "You go to the tent to receive the reward!" ”

"Yes, General."

After a few doctors left, Zhao Quan stood aside a little silently, looked at Zhao Yan, and said comfortingly: "Childe, don't be too anxious about this matter, there is time." ”

Zhao Yan couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, and said: "What am I anxious about, boys and girls are the same, since she is the eldest daughter, then she will be Her Majesty the Empress in the future." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Quan was stunned.

"Yan'er, what are you still grinding around outside, don't 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, "It's here." ”

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

"I'm not disappointed." Zhao Yan shook his head with a smile and kissed Yuan'er on the forehead. There is some irony in his heart, and few people understand his thoughts in this era.

What does a daughter have, let her be the empress! You can do the same. It just so happens that equality between men and women will be advocated in the future, and it is better to have a queen.

Zhang's mood is obviously not very high, after all, Yuan'er gave birth to a granddaughter and 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 affectionate name.

The little guy is chubby, and his face is vaguely like Zhao Yan, which makes Zhao Yan very happy, he thinks that girls will be more beautiful if they look like their father.

Since Xiao Zhao Wan was born, everyone can see that Zhao Yan likes this daughter very much. The 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 got the invitation in the capital, he couldn't help but laugh gloatingly, but it was obviously entertaining himself.

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

"No, I'm so good to please?" Chongzhen snorted.

…… On the ninth day of the third month, the king of Jiaozhi, Nguyen Phuc Lan, was escorted to Shandong.

Various newspapers in Shandong and reporters from the Royal Daily News followed up and reported, and all newspapers were speculating about what kind of punishment the king of Jiaozhi would receive.

Many intellectuals discussed it in the newspapers, and some thought that the king of Cochin might return to Cochin and continue to be his vassal king.

Others believe that King Cochin will have his head cut off. These are all extreme predictions.

On March 11, General Thien Wai ordered King Jiaozhi to be transferred to the Shandong Military Court, which sentenced Nguyen Phuc Lan to life imprisonment for the crime of instigating a border war.

Subsequently, the cabinet announced the restoration of the 'Jiaozhi Political Division' and the recovery of China's homeland.

On March 12, Shandong sent 20,000 armed policemen south to Jiaozhi, and sent Jiaozhi governors, political envoys and other officials to Jiaozhi to establish an administration.

On March 13, Zhao Yan gave the girl a full moon wine, and celebrities from all over the world came.

Zhao Yan seemed very happy that day, and made the full moon wine so grandiose, which made many people puzzled. As for people's hearts, they are still very stable.

Whether or not to give birth to a son has no impact on the entire Shandong political axe, and the earth is still spinning. However, no one really knows that Zhao Yan will make Xiao Zhao Wan the empress in the future.

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

There are many investment projects in infrastructure, such as railways, highways, power stations, and telegraphs, all of which can be invested, and making money is one thing, and contributing to national construction is another.

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

In terms of financial resources, many businessmen have abundant capital, among which the most abundant capital is Shandong businessmen, at this time Shandong businessmen from all over the Ming Dynasty, they moved their families to Shandong, focusing on the stability of Shandong and the protection of personal property.

Article 1 of the Shandong Decree is the sanctity and inviolability of personal legal property, and this decree is also written into the new "Da Ming Law".

However, the law of the Ming Dynasty was also useful in the provinces controlled by the Shandong political axe, so more and more merchants came to Shandong, not only to vigorously protect their personal property, but also to have the most business opportunities in Shandong.

Most of the discerning businessmen of the Ming Dynasty and the businessmen who dared to take risks came to Shandong.

There are more than 10,000 merchants in the entire Shandong with a capital of more than 10,000 taels, and there are five households with a capital of more than 1 million taels in the original Shandong merchant gang.

However, Zhao Yan's call was only echoed by some businessmen, who still valued money very seriously.

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

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

Just walking down the street, one will see that everyone is in a hurry, and in the heart of this new polity, every day is running in an orderly manner. Everyone can feel the vibrancy in this central area.

Everyone can easily find a job and direction, there is no confusion about the future, some people want to live a stable life in Shandong, some people want to strive for a better life by hard work, there are many roads to the light. Doing business, joining the military, and studying can all lead to a bright future.

The army of students is the largest, and late-night snacks are held in various places, and these late-night snacks are taught by school teachers at night.

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

This year, there will be 160,000 primary school graduates, of all ages, with the younger ones going to secondary schools and the older ones being the focus of competition among the administration, education, and medical departments.

The current situation is that as long as you come out of school, you are not afraid of no future. Teachers and physicians are well paid.

At present, education is still moving towards universal primary education, and there are not enough teachers in secondary education. In the context of the lack of higher education, vocational education becomes important.

Various technical schools have been opened in Shandong this year, and various training courses have been set up one after another.

Knowledge is wealth, and the truth of this sentence was not taken seriously at all in the society of later generations, because wealth was seized by others.

In this era, today's Ming belongs to the world's strongest, the most developed, and the most technologically advanced country, and the wealth is controlled by the Ming.

Intellectuals are highly respected in society, and almost no one has a contemptuous attitude towards intellectuals.

In the administrative area of Shandong Zhengaxe, every citizen has the opportunity to receive education, but at present, the opportunity is not equal, only those who are of educational age can enter school, and those who are not of educational age can only go to night school or training courses.

Access to education, although not yet equal, is moving in the direction of equality, and education is free and accessible to everyone, and it is only a matter of whether the individual is willing to learn or not.

Joining the army is a good way for young people to learn culture, and receiving a cultural education in the army is much more professional than night school.

Now it's easy to join the army, but now it's a compulsory soldier, everyone within the age can sign up for the army, and the requirements for physical fitness are also reduced.

After enlistment, conscripts are still assigned according to their physical fitness. Those with poor physical fitness will be assigned to second-line troops, and those with good physical fitness will be supplemented to combat units.

As long as you join the army for three years, you can be discharged, and those who are excellent can become professional soldiers, and you can be a literate person when you leave the army.

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

In terms of railways, by March, most of the steel tracks from Shandong to Shanxi had been paved, and the rails on the railway lines that started construction in North Korea and Northeast China last year had also begun to be laid, and the rails of the Beijing-Pudong Railway had also been paved for a small part.

Water conservancy construction in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins is also in full swing, and dams and irrigation canals are being strengthened everywhere. With the increase of Japanese slaves, the amount of water conservancy projects can be more.

The highway has been repaired even more, and the provincial highway from Shandong to the provinces will be renovated this year, all of which will be paved with reinforced concrete.

The investors are mainly Denglai Bank, and the provincial roads are smoothed, and the four-wheeled carriages with stronger loads can be put on the road.

The number of workers involved in the construction has soared to more than 4 million, and many poor people who do not want to emigrate have gone to work.

If there is an impact on agriculture, it is definitely there.

Large-scale recruitment of workers in various localities has led to the landlords having no long-term workers and no tenants, and there are millions of acres of land abandoned for this reason, and some landlords have raised the wages of long-term workers and lowered the land rent of tenants under such circumstances, so as to stabilize production, while some landlords prefer to be idle rather than reduce tenant rents, and this is the fundamental reason for the desolation of land.

However, last year's water conservancy construction in agriculture has also produced great positive aspects, and agriculture in the southern region has recovered rapidly, especially in the Huguang region, and the cultivated area has greatly increased.

As soon as Shandong officials arrived at the beginning of the year, they immediately sent a large number of ploughing cattle and horses to the peasants to plough the land, and at the same time began to exterminate the locusts.
