Chen Mugang and Yin Zhengmao said the "first five-year plan" in a joke tone, and within two days they ran into Beijing.

He was definitely not going to be able to enter Beijing for a five-year plan. He had not yet expanded to that position, nor did he feel that he could formulate a five-year plan for the Ming Dynasty.

It is funny that the reason why he entered Beijing was that Marshal Chen was crazy about cutting down and building construction on the north bank of the Weihe River in Tianjin. Mr. Zhang was even more powerful in construction than him. Since he found that the telegram was really useful, Mr. Zhang ordered the Ministry of Works to build wires and supporting motors that could be laid ten miles or even further as soon as possible, and even pay more attention than the Beiyang Military Mansion.

The telegram line was installed in Tianjin Guard in a blink of an eye and went south along the canal. Chen Mu moved into the newly built barracks for only three days. Then a post station rider quickly brought a piece of paper, and the ink dots were scattered on it. Chen Mu looked at it for a long time but didn't know what it meant. He asked the post station staff what it meant, but they didn't know.

The postmen at Tianjin Wei Station knew that the top black dot refers to their post. The black dots below mean east. An officer had taught them some secret texts about directions and annotations. No matter how many of them were, they would not know.

The reason why the secret text was sent to Chen Mu was that the postman looked as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He really didn't know where the secret text was sent to Chen Mu, so he could only take the courage to send it to Chen Mu, as if he was a living horse.

Of course Chen Mu couldn't understand!

He heard that Qi Jiguang made up a set of secret texts for Zhang Juzheng, but the secret texts were not sent to him, Mr. Chen, how could he understand them?

Fortunately, Chen Mu has always had an aura of no other than me. At this time, there should be only a telegraph point in the capital, that is, Zhang Juzheng's mansion. After all, the cabinet is in the palace, so there is more consideration for setting up telegraph lines, but Zhang Ge Lao's mansion does not need to worry much, and it is impossible for others to send telegraphs except him.

When Zhang Juzheng sent a telegram to him, who else could he have been sent to him? Dagukou Baihu?

On this point, Chen Mu felt that Zhang Juzheng was really smart to think of this method, and he was even more smart to figure out that Zhang Juzheng was using this method to find him!

Chen Mu packed up and walked towards the capital. He wanted to ride a horse alone. He could drive Chen Mu to death by running three hundred miles a day.

It was just afternoon when he arrived at Tianjin Wei. He took three martial artists to take a boat with him, and added some money to walk on the night road. He listened to the boatman singing at night and slept all night. When he was woken up by the martial artists in the morning, he had already arrived in Tongzhou. From here, he rode a horse into Beijing, he could catch up with the hot horse meat burning in the rice market outside Xuanwu Gate.

The horse government has been involved since the founding of the country, but in the past, the people raised horses for the government and handed over them when they fought, which was equivalent to foster care, and the pressure was not too great. However, after the Yongle year, the court no longer fought everywhere, and the people raised horses and asked for "farm" and the horses were born, and the horses were not allowed to be raised to death.

Official Mu collapses quickly, and civilian Mu collapses faster in such an environment. People still have birth, old age, sickness and death, so can horses survive?

Therefore, the people suffer from raising horses, and officials do not benefit from raising horses. A few years ago, when Emperor Longqing was still alive, he sold a large-scale stallion.

Over time, the people 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 south and westward. On the street of Lumashi, to the north is Liulichang and to the southwest is Nancheng Bingmasi. Although it is in the outer city, it is a rare and good location in the outer city... This is not like Chen Mu's mansion, although it is close to the Forbidden City, it is all small houses and large houses in the outer city.

Chen Mu prefers to call this area the Royal Zoo. To the north of Zhang Juzheng's mansion, the corner of Muma City is the Tiger House, as the name suggests, a place to raise tigers; when entering Xuanwumen Street northwest, there is Xianglai Street, which is an elephant circle for raising elephants; opposite the elephant circle is the Eagle Hutong and the Eagle.

When Emperor Zhengde was present, these tigers and elephants had to be well-trained. Elephants had to be the emperor's guard of honor and learn to control treasures; tigers were a little more miserable, and occasionally they had to be fairly beaten by Emperor Zhengde, and they could not fight back.

Nowadays, the world is getting worse and worse. Since the Jiajing Dynasty, the emperor has not liked such big things, and everyone has started to suck cats. For example, the last time the person who ate pie with Chen Mu and Wanli at the gate of the Qing Palace, the palace people would respectfully call him "Little Master". Their identity and status are different from those of the "some servants" and their mothers "some girl".

Just in June, the moat of Xuanwumen was crowded early, and ladies went out to accompany each other to watch the elephants squirting water in the moat.

At this time of year, elephants are taken to the moat for bathing, and young people rush to play, which becomes a festival.

Chen Mu and his military officers were not interested in elephants... They had seen it long ago in the Southwest War.

After eating and drinking, Wubian asked him to find a teahouse to sit there. Chen Mu led his horse across the long street and reached the front of Zhang Juzheng's mansion. If he hadn't been looking carefully outside the courtyard wall for a long time, he would have really not be able to find how the telephone poles were routed to the mansion wall. The wooden pipes were set up on the branches protruding in the courtyard, and passed through the hidden green shade to the towering telephone poles on both sides of the road.

The wood pipe is filled with wires. The wire is made of copper wire. Chen Mu knew, but he also knew that the wires and wood pipes he saw at this moment were not just copper, but the copper wire was wrapped with a layer of black things. He didn't know what it was.

“Twenty-seven.”

Just as Chen Mu wanted to find out the truth, he heard someone talking at the gate of the courtyard. He turned his head and saw the butler You Qi standing at the door with a green silk shirt and ringed jade black hair scarf standing at the door, bowing and smiling: "Since the telegram was sent, Jing Haibo is the 27th person who came to visit the mansion in three days."

"Sir, please come in quickly. The master is talking to the guests. Please wait a moment and have a cup of tea. Here we go and report it."

You Qi smiled and led Chen Mu into the mansion. When he entered the door, Chen Mu saw several western horses in the stables in the front yard. He thought that the guest in the housekeeper was someone he knew. When he sat in the side hall, he asked You Qi: "Brother You, why did the Master Pavilion send a message this time? Can you reveal one or two?"

"Hehe, the master's thoughts are not something that a villain can understand, but the lord should give a hundred and a thousand hearts, it is not a bad thing."

He shook his head with a smile, took the snack plate and refreshment from the maid, and placed it on the table with a straight face. Then he said happily: "Stay for a while, I will inform you."

There, You Qi went to report, and Chen Mu looked at the refreshments on the imperial prime minister's mansion in nothing, but saw a brand new wooden pipe with tobacco stuffed in it on the lacquer plate, and a jade cigarette holder that he had never used before.

Everything that makes people happy is far faster than anything else.

He shook his head and did not touch the paint plate. He became more convinced that his proposal to collect heavy tax on tobacco was correct. This tax would be comparable to salt and iron in the future. It is a great thing to take out the customization early.

"Jing Haibo is coming just right. The master is discussing affairs with Lord Wang of the Ministry of Revenue in the study. Please come with me."

Ministry of Revenue, Wang Guoguang?
