Four hundred and fortieth chapters poisonous
These are not the only things in the emperor's letter that make people feel particularly heavy.
For example, he told Chen Mu in the letter that he had sent police to Beiyang again because the railway from Beiyang Military Palace to Tianjin Wei was repaired and the car was steamed.
The letter comes with the rails hand-painted by the emperor himself. The structure is very simple and is far less complicated than the railways implemented in Makino Prefecture. There are no sleepers below. The trapezoidal wooden rails with a wide bottom and a narrow top are directly used. The wooden cabinet is covered with a solid and smooth concave iron hat.
There is a dirt road with horses galloping in the middle of the two tracks, and there are rammed earth roads on both sides for carriages and pedestrians to pass through. It was paved ninety-nine miles along the way. The first Huode Star Lord, which was galloping on the railway, was called the Great Qinglong by the emperor. This Great Qinglong seems to be worthy of this mighty name in data.
The front of the car of Da Qinglong is composed of a Type A Fire De Star Lord with a total weight of 27,000 kilograms. It pulls seven large trucks and tests a load of 54,000 kilograms. Including the front of the car, each large truck needs to be pulled by ten tall horses and passed through a small wooden track gradually raised from the ground.
The Great Qinglong carried the emperor and important court officials at a speed of 320 miles a day, and 271 guards rushed from Beiyang to Tianjin Guard, which was a great success.
The book also contains a photo of "The Graphic Dragon on the Ground" painted by a famous painter Chen Can on the day of the opening of traffic. The emperor told Chen Mu in the book that there were him in the painting, and there were more than one, three.
The silk painting is more than four feet long and is two feet wide. For Chen Mu, the whole painting is full of magical realism. There is no way to see what the structure of the first steam locomotive that started running in the Ming Dynasty was, because the shell of the entire front of the car was a big leader, worthy of its name.
A seat was placed between the dragon horns. In front of the seat, there seemed to be a glass cover made of dragon whiskers to block the wind. Emperor Wanli, who had exaggerated techniques, sat there, wearing red border military cotton armor all over his body, and holding a dragon horn with both hands, majestic.
At his feet, thick white smoke was sprayed from both sides and dragged backwards. The truck that was pulled then was not a sealed carriage, but a wooden guardrail on both sides of the large carriage. Looking at the notes on the painting, it seemed that the guardrail was still carved. Every few steps, a Beiyang flag army with a bird gun and a waist knife stood. The helmets and guns above their heads, the flags behind them and the dragon flags inserted on both sides of the carriage were dragged back one by one.
Chen Mu found familiar figures in the car, including Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the empire wearing a robe sitting upright in the middle, with a serious expression on his face, pointing his fingers away from a distance and saying something to his left and right; Zhang Han, the old master with a beard and smiling kindly, and Wang Guoguang, wearing jade-framed glasses, who carefully whispered to Zhang Han... Chen Mu did not find the emperor's self at this position.
The second car was mostly Liubumen and noble ministers. Chen Mu looked for it again and again. He saw Ye Mengxiong, Shen Shixing and Zhang Siwei, as well as some familiar faces, but he still couldn't find himself.
Just when Chen Mu suspected that he had been in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, he could not even be considered a second-tier team, next to Ye Mengxiong, where he should have a dragon flag, he saw a stone statue of the Dragon and Tiger Daojun, which was about to be worn by others, wearing a red robe and black veil.
The stone statues are carved vividly, and the painters paint them vividly on the paper, which makes people almost unable to find any shortcomings.
If you insist on looking for it, it is nothing more than this statue of god that doesn't look very much like him... Mr. Shuai is much more handsome than this statue of god that looks like a glaring King Kong.
That thing is just a yaksha.
Chen Mu estimated that this should be the one that the emperor said in the painting.
But what is the other one?
He really couldn't find it, and finally found the answer in the emperor's letter. The emperor expected that he could not find it, so he asked him to go back and take a closer look at the eyes of the big green dragon... I don't know who was thinking, but the emperor placed two general Zhenshuo guns on the front of the steam locomotive. The cannon body was covered by the shell and could not be seen, and only two muzzles were exposed as eyes.
This made Chen Mu believe that the emperor must be Chen Xue’s best child, and he learned this habit.
What kind of spirit is this when I sit on the dragon head in the cold winter and the people are there.
Finally, the emperor said that he was very righteous and asked Chen Mu to give someone to paint a painting when the Muhe Railway was opened, painted him on it, and send the painting back to the country as a national treasure, creating an illusion of "I am very free" for future generations.
This is the only two things that made Chen Mu happy in the long letter.
Another thing is that the emperor did not mention his cat this time.
Chen Mu clearly remembered that Wanli did not like cats as simple as she liked cats, but had to take cats with her. In the past, in letters that had been to the local area and the East Asia every year, Wanli would mention his cat more than once in each letter.
It was either this servant or that girl. Chen Mu did not find any cats in the steam locomotive he sent this year, nor did he see his cats mentioned in the hundred-page letter.
It cannot be said that there is no such thing as it is mentioned twice. Once, I asked him if the Siamese servant on the Wanli ship had gone around the New World. The second time, I said that his Asian servant was not easy to raise, but the new boy could still play.
He thought this was an external manifestation of the emperor's inner loneliness... Why did you think this emperor would have to live a life of a marginalized person in society?
As the emperor's letter was gradually finished, Chen Mu could only tell the Jinyiwei who was sending the letter, and he probably had to stay in Changsheng for a few days before he could go back to report his life.
The three questions in the Emperor's letter are not easy to answer.
The military reorganization can only start with the military service system of recruiting troops. The institutional reform in education is also complex and extensive. Chen Mu cannot make decisions at will. Even if it is just a decision to give suggestions, he must be careful.
But at least he can think of a short-term or even long-term method.
The third one is that Wanli uses a very good analogy. From where to get a few more boats, this is the most difficult thing in Chen Mu's opinion.
Even he had only one idea, because Wanli's question was exactly what he had been doing, but for a long time, this idea that he had been practicing but was not clear about was asked by Wanli.
Throughout the years, the local area has been in a state of self-reliance.
Self-reliance, literally.
It is not the European empire that divides labor such as Europe, Africa, America, and Asia, but self-reliance, and division of labor such as Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi. In this way, internal labor will naturally bring about a series of internal contradictions such as the gap between the rich and the poor, land annexation, etc.
When agricultural countries turn to industrial countries, they will increase resource consumption and internal output sharply, the old contradictions cannot be resolved, and the new social contradictions will be even more intense. What is more important is that this contradiction was not created by Chen Mu, but the entire empire was pushed to this point by the times.
All problems are death feasts, and the empire needed more telegraph lines and longer railways to maintain rule, which could bring obvious huge gains, and the emperors, bureaucrats, who ruled the country, everyone wanted to do this and all wanted to do this.
But there is not enough steel.
If there is not enough steel, more workers need more output, better transportation capacity, and better transportation capacity requires...rail.
Chen Mu couldn't help but be fooled when he looked at the "Green Dragon Picture on the Ground" that was spread out in front of him.
He seemed to see a steam locomotive named Daming running wildly, but not the rails in front of him, but a hard wall.
Among all the precedents Chen Mu knew, the country had only two choices at this time, either turning left or turning right.
Turn left is a bottom-up revolution. The Ming Dynasty, which is at its peak, has no such soil; either turn right, it means continuing to promote the country of heaven and the country, using nationalism to protect the top-down reform, and attack and expand wildly from all sides.
In Chen Mu's impression, Tsarist Russia was like this, but Tsarist Russia was still a feudal serf in the country, and it was an enlarged chieftain, which led to the merger of merchants who went bankrupt in China in World War I and exploded themselves first.
Chen Mu believes that with his insight, if he joins hands with the most outstanding politicians of this era, they should be able to overcome this hurdle.
But first, he had to go to the military hospital to meet Chen Shigong first.
The emperor said that Mr. Zhang Ge was troubled by hemorrhoids and could not get out of bed when he returned from Tianjin. He found a doctor from Xu Jie's mansion to treat him, but the doctor in Beiyang said it was inappropriate. In the end, the emperor decided to send someone to Dadongyang to ask.
Because of the young and young emperor, the emperor thought that the best surgeon in the world was pulled to Dadongyang by Shen Shuai, and took the prescription for Chen Shigong to see. If there was no problem, let Mr. Zhang follow this treatment.
Chen Mu held the prescription and frowned for a long time. At this moment, what he was holding was not the prescription, but Zhang Juzheng's life.
Because this flavour is called Kuzhi San, the formula is alum, toad paste, light powder, and arsenic.
