General Chen, who was far away in Xuanfu, didn't know that there had been a quarrel in the Forbidden City's West Garden, and even if he knew, it was not as important to him as grooming the horse.

"You came from the north, you were stabbed, you experienced life and death and were sold to the south, galloped through the grasslands, climbed the mountains, and I took you to see the sea......"

Long Junxiong pouted with the dogtail grass that he got out of nowhere, leaned against the door of the racecourse, scratched his ears and cheeks, and watched Chen Mu on the grassland and muttered in circles, when he saw Chen Mu patting the horse's buttocks and swaggering over, like a big thing in his heart.

"Come north, go north, this horse is much happier than us."

beckoning to the head of the horse farm, Chen Mu pointed to the burning clouds running around in the pasture and said: "That's my horse, I won't ride it in the future, I will keep it with you until it dies of old age." Don't worry about anything else, just feed it, walk it when it's time to walk, don't sell it to me. ”

The head of the horse farm nodded one after another, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about the general's horse, there is any horse in this horse farm, and the little old man doesn't dare to sell it, who doesn't know that this is the place where the general raises horses." ”

"Yes, any horse here is a treasure, it is not easy for Chen to get these ungelding horses, if anyone dares to sell my horse, I will give them gelding." Chen Mu nodded, looked at the hundreds of horses in the racecourse, walked a few steps and turned back.

"Don't forget, other horses ......" Chen Mu felt that it might not be popular to talk about mating at this time, so he raised his hand and patted it a few times, his eyes were intriguing, and he waited for the head of the horse to understand before he continued: "When they are doing things, they cover the eyes of the burning clouds, and if they can't do it in a hurry, they will be so angry that they will lose their lives." ”

"Eh, the little ones know, the little ones know."

Know what!

Chen Mu smiled, took one last look at the burning clouds, and went out with a smile to turn over his horse and lead the soldiers away.

Huo Yaoyun was originally an old horse in his hands, and his temperament was docile and sensible, just at that time, Chen Mu's riding skills were not good. However, now his physical strength has decreased significantly, and he can no longer keep up with the needs of Chen Mu's long journey.

In the south fashion and not felt, to the north there are many flat roads, when he let go of the horsepower gallop he can not keep up with others.

Just from the horse market to communicate inside and outside the Great Wall, good horses are no longer a rare commodity in northern Xinjiang, put in the Xuanfu horse farm, although Chen Mu can't help him continue the low stick, but in the end, there is no need to eat, don't care about the burning clouds can live for a few more years, and you will not die on the battlefield.

The friendship of master and servant is exhausted.

Now his mount was sent by a tribal leader during the exchange of Mongolian tribes, and I heard that he got a BMW from Warat, which was not short in stature, and looked a head taller than ordinary Mongolian horses, but inherited the excellent endurance of Mongolian horses, and his muscles and bones were strong.

Chen Mu felt that he might have inadvertently mixed blood with Central Asia, and his black hair was not variegated all over his body, and he looked like a divine horse.

"In the future, it will be called Heiwa. This year, I earned 1,400 geldings and didn't spend money, and such a good deal is good, but unfortunately it will be gone later. Next year, it is estimated that we will find a way to buy a thousand war horses with a thousand taels of silver, and smuggle a hundred more horses, and I have never been gelding......"

Chen Muzheng was thinking about fooling horses from Mongolia in the future, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Long Junxiong in an extremely rare way, and exclaimed: "Chen Ye, did you spend money on a thousand war horses?" ”

"Why spend money? I'm stupid! ”

Chen Mu shook his horse three times, and saw Long Junxiong's face embarrassed and said: "Master Chen, you are all General Zhenshuo, cheating people out of money...... We're not short of silver, are we? ”

"Who lied? You, haven't you learned Chen's housekeeping skills for so long, how can you rest assured that you will go to Japan to do business when we return to Nanyang. Chen Mu patted his forehead with hatred, "I know why Qi Zhengyan can't come back when he runs to Japan, most of them don't know how to do business, and he loses his face and comes back." ”

"Some time ago, did I transport more than a dozen ships of goods from Guangdong, it was Chen who sent a message to find a Foshan businessman to buy an iron pot and tea, the big iron pot was priced at two cents of silver, and the small iron pot was worth four cents of silver, and I took advantage of the tea, counting five taels a load."

Long Junxiong shook his head, not understanding.

"I told him that the silver can't be broken, and there is a batch of war-rich Mongolian war horses, one is counted as two taels and five dollars of silver, and it can be exchanged for ten cauldrons, fifty small pots, or half a load of tea, but he can make money when he loads the ship back, and he doesn't treat him badly, right?"

Takatoshi nodded, but still didn't understand.

"I asked him to wait for a few days to get the goods from the Cao boat in Beizhili to the horse market."

"At the beginning of the opening of the mutual market, the governor sent a message to summon the southern merchants, and there were not enough goods in the horse market, not to mention that there were not many people from outside the Cypriots, and there were not many goods that could be taken away, and there were not enough iron pots, grain, rouge, red thread, saddles, medicinal materials, and silk on the market."

"What about the pot, add three small pots to two large pots, and exchange one horse; What about tea, this thing is profitable, one load can be exchanged for twelve horses, more than 1,600 war horses, and black babies. ”

Chen Mu smiled and said, "I gave the merchant three hundred horses, and I earned one thousand three hundred horses, and I didn't spend any money." When he crosses the Yellow River with the boat, other merchants should also meet from the south with goods, and he will be grateful to Chen. Do you think, that crowd is crowded, who can be comfortable? Chen helped him clear the goods early, is it a special righteousness? ”

Long Junxiong snorted twice, but his and Chen Mu's expressions were not serious, Chen Mu said it as a joke, and he listened to it as a joke.

It's obviously a big profit.

Chen Mu thought that the chatter on the road was happy enough, but there were even bigger surprises waiting for him when he returned to the General's Mansion.

"General, a letter from the DPRK."

Chen Mu took the letter at the door at random, and when he walked into the study and sat down, he found that it was a letter from the cabinet, with high-arched handwriting.

Let him not have to wait for the mountain chief Xu Jie to come over, saying that Xu Ge is old and old, so there is no need to bother, the name of the mountain chief is held by Gao Gong himself, and let him let the lecture hall open as soon as possible. In addition, it is necessary to prepare two manuscripts to report to the imperial court, and to write a letter to Gao Gong.

The proposed handbook is naturally how to do the lecture hall, and the operating procedures are informed to the imperial court, and after the cabinet and the celebrant approve it, it can be used as the rules and regulations of the lecture hall in the future.

This is a matter of the North.

The matter of the south is another handbook, Gao Gong refuted his idea of setting up martial arts halls in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and only set up martial arts halls in Xuanfu and Guangdong. The second thing he did was to settle the matter of the Guangdong Lecture Martial Arts Hall, Gao Gong had already chosen a mountain chief, who was Lu Bo, a famous naval general who had cut off his career in the past due to Yan Song's resignation.

Chen Mu stroked the letter and frowned for a long time, and laughed softly.

Gao Gong knew very well what Chen Mu wanted, and he didn't even need to mention it, he was already planning to set up a martial arts naval academy.

Although the whole letter did not mention anything about the Southern Expedition, nor did it mention the silver, Chen Mu still saw subtle changes in what Gao Gong let him do.

Gao Gong's last request was for Chen Mu to explain to him what kind of ships should be used in the planning of the Ming Dynasty's coastal defense, how many soldiers should be prepared, and what the overseas defense area should be.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu couldn't help but laugh.

Huoyun returned to the north, and the day when he returned to the south does not seem to be far away!
