Chen Mugang and Yin Zhengmao jokingly said the 'first five-year plan', and within two days they ran into Beijing.

He didn't run into Beijing for any five-year plan, he hadn't inflated himself to that point, and he never thought that he could make a five-year plan for the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why he entered Beijing is funny, Chen Dashuai went crazy on the north bank of the Weihe River in Tianjin to cut down and carry out construction, and Zhang Ge Lao engaged in construction better than him - since he discovered that the telegraph was really useful, Zhang Ge Lao ordered the Ministry of Industry to get as soon as possible to lay wires and supporting motors that could lay ten miles or even more far, and even paid more attention to it than the Beiyang Military Government.

The telegraph line was installed in Tianjin Wei in a blink of an eye, and went south along the canal, Chen Mu moved into the newly built barracks and lived for only three days, and then a post station rider quickly sent a piece of paper, which was messy and dotted with ink dots, Chen Mu looked at it for a long time and didn't know what it meant, and asked the post man what it meant, and they didn't know.

The post guards of Tianjin Weiyi Station knew that the top black dot referred to their post station, and the black dot at the bottom had the meaning of east.

The reason why the cipher text was sent to Chen Mu was that the post guard's eyes were black and anxious like ants on a hot pot, and he really didn't know where to send the ciphertext, so he could only send it to Chen Mu with the boldness, and the dead horse would be a live horse doctor.

Of course Chen Mu can't understand it!

He heard that Qi Jiguang had compiled a set of ciphertexts for Zhang Juzheng, but this set of ciphertexts was not sent to him Chen Erye, how could he understand it?

Fortunately, Chen Mu has always had a momentum of giving up who he is, at this time there should be a telegram point in the capital, that is, Zhang Juzheng's mansion, after all, the cabinet is in the palace, and it is necessary to consider more to set up a telegraph line, but Zhang Ge's old mansion does not need to worry a lot, and it is impossible for anyone else to send a telegram except him.

And Zhang Juzheng is sending a telegram here, who else can he send to himself? 100 households in Dagukou?

At this point, Chen Mu felt that Zhang Juzheng was really smart to think of this method, and he could understand that Zhang Juzheng used this method to find himself, which was extremely smart!

Chen Mu packed up and left the capital, if he wanted to ride a horse alone, he galloped for 300 miles a day and had nothing to do with Chen Mu to death.

It was also afternoon to Tianjin Wei, he took a boat with Wu Ben's entourage in Tianjin Wei, added some boat money to walk at night, listened to the night song of the captain and slept for a night, and was woken up by Wu Ben in the early morning when the person had arrived in Tongzhou, from this horse riding into Beijing, but also to catch up with the rice market outside the Xuanwu Gate to eat hot horse meat fire.

Ma Zheng has been a thing since the founding of the country, but in the past, the people raised horses for the government and handed them over when they fought, which was equivalent to foster care, and the pressure was not too great; However, after the Yongle year, the imperial court no longer fought everywhere, and the people raised horses and asked for 'fruits', and the big horses gave birth to ponies, and they were not allowed to raise them to death.

The official herd collapses quickly, the people collapse faster in such an environment, and people are still born, old, sick and die, and the horse will not die?

Therefore, the people have the pain of raising horses, and the officials have no profit from raising horses, and a few years ago, when Emperor Longqing was still alive, there was just a large-scale sale of stallions.

Over time, the folk divided horses into several types, including war horses, pack horses, and meat horses.

Zhang Juzheng's mansion is not far from Xuanwu Gate, Zhengyang Gate turns a corner to the south and west, on the street of Luoma Market, to the north is Liulichang, southwest is the South City Terracotta Division, although it is in the outer city, it is a rare good location in the outer city...... This is not like Chen Mu's mansion, although it is close to the Forbidden City, they are all small mansions, and the outer cities are all big mansions.

Chen Mu prefers to call this piece the Royal Zoo, north of Zhang Juzheng's mansion, and the corner of Luomashi is the Tiger House, as the name suggests, where tigers are raised; Northwest into Xuanwumen Street, the entrance is Xianglai Street, which is an elephant circle for raising elephants; Opposite the elephant circle is the Eagle Feeding Alley, which raises eagles.

In the Zhengde Emperor's meeting, these tigers and elephants must be trained obediently, and the elephants have to be the emperor's honor guard and learn to control the pack treasure; The tiger is more miserable, and occasionally has to be given a fair fight by Emperor Zhengde, the kind that can't fight back.

Since the Jiajing Dynasty, the Son of Heaven does not like this kind of big thing, and everyone has begun to suck cats, for example, the last time the Qianqing Palace was at the gate of the Qianqing Palace and Chen Mu and Wanli ate pies together, and everyone in the palace had to be called "little master" when they saw it, and their identity and status were different from those male 'little girl' and female 'certain girl' in the cat room.

Just in time for June, the Xuanwumen moat was crowded early, and the ladies went out to watch the elephants spraying water in the moat.

At this time of year, elephants are taken to bathe in the moat, and young people compete to play, making it a festival.

Chen Mu and his Wu Ben had little interest in elephants...... They had seen it a long time ago in the Southwestern War.

Eat and drink enough, let Wu Ben find a teahouse to sit at, Chen Mu led the horse all the way across the long street, and slipped to the door of Zhang Juzheng's mansion, if he hadn't looked carefully outside the courtyard wall for a long time, he really couldn't find out how the telephone pole was routed to the mansion wall, the wooden pipe was erected on the branches protruding from the courtyard, and passed through the hidden green shade to the towering telephone poles on both sides of the road.

There are wires in the thin wooden pipe, and the wire material is copper wire Chen Mu knows, but he also knows that the wire and wooden pipe he sees at this moment is not only copper, but the copper wire is wrapped in a layer of black things, and he doesn't know what it is.

"Twenty-seventh."

Just when Chen Mu wanted to get closer to the telephone pole to find out, he heard someone talking at the gate of the courtyard, turned his head and saw You Qi, the big housekeeper in a blue silk shirt wearing a jade black hair scarf, standing at the door, arching his hand and smiling: "Since the telegram was sent, Jing Haibo has come to visit the house for the twenty-seventh time in three days." ”

"Sir, please come in, my lord is talking to the guests, please wait for a while, drink a cup of tea, and report here."

You Qi smiled and led Chen Mu into the house, when he entered the door, Chen Mu saw a few western horses in the stable in the front yard, he estimated that the guest in the housekeeper's mouth was someone he knew, and when he sat in the side hall, he asked You Qi: "Brother You, what is the matter of the elder Ge Lao's message this time, can you reveal one or two?" ”

"Hehe, the master's thoughts, this is not something that a villain can figure out, but the lord has a hundred and a thousand hearts, it's not a bad thing."

Shaking his head with a smile, he took the snack plate and refreshments from the maid, put them on the table, and then said happily: "Wait a while, and I will inform you." ”

You Qi went to report there, and Chen Mu looked at the refreshments in the Imperial Prime Minister's Mansion idly, but saw that there was actually a brand-new wooden pipe stuffed with tobacco on the lacquer plate, and a jade cigarette holder that had never been used was inserted.

Whatever is enjoyable is far faster than everything else.

He shook his head, not touching the lacquer plate, and he became more and more convinced that his proposal for a heavy tax on tobacco was correct, and that this tax would in the future be on a par with salt and iron, and that it was a good thing that he had already taken out the customization.

"Uncle Jinghai came just in time, the lord is in the study to discuss with Lord Hubu Wang, please come with me."

Hubu, Wang Guoguang?
