Chapter 269
Whether he would go to Mongolia again, Chen Mu thought about it for a long time after returning to the customs, and he wanted to go.

Especially when thinking of the anticipation in An Da's eyes when he was saying goodbye, Chen Mu felt that he should go.

After returning from outside the Great Wall and delivering the results to Wang Chonggu, Chen Mu returned to his mansion in the Xuan Mansion, took seven letters out of the floor tiles with ease, and burned them.

If he doesn't come back, many people will die because of these seven letters.

The imperial court entered into a long debate over whether to open a border market, just like the time-changing scene of Gengxu.

The same thing, if there is no other side, it is wrong. In fact, it is for the future development of the Ming Dynasty, but no matter which small link is not handled well, it will lead to a big mistake in the future.

Gao Gong once said in the court hall: The matter of Han Naji must be handled properly. If he accepts his conditions easily, then he will show weakness to him and will be detrimental to the Ming Dynasty. This is not advisable.But if he is killed rashly, it will cut off the thought of the Mongolian tribes belonging to them, and increase their resentment in vain.This is also undesirable.

As for the matter of offering tribute to Alda and Kaibian City, Gao Gong said this: Since Mongolia sent envoys to ask for tribute 30 years ago, it has been asking for tribute for a long time, but no one took this matter seriously at that time, so Due to poor handling, border troubles have not stopped in the past 30 years.

In the Longqing Dynasty, from the emperor down, all the cabinet ministers had a very deep understanding of the Ming-Mongolian War during the Jiajing period. If the decision to go to war was made 30 years ago with passion, then they are all rational enough now.

Except for Wang Chonggu, Zhang Fuduan, Zhang Guoyan, and Song Yingchang, Zhang Sizhong, and Ji Dagang were all given to Shizhong, and there are similarities and differences with Wang Chonggu's Eight Discussions.

This has nothing to do with Chen Mu. When he went out of the fortress, the officers and men of the Xuan Mansion told him that he was like a god, but obviously he still needs to eat and drink. The weather in the north is too cold. , Chen Mu spends most of his time in the house burning a strong fire to learn about the past about the north.

Of course, he can't stop studying the Dibao, which is the fastest way for him to know the results of the Beijing court conference.

In addition, General Chen was busy making briquettes. Anyway, the craftsman was idle, so he made a briquette mold, mixed yellow mud, coal ash, and water to make briquettes, and it burned better than briquettes. What is not lacking is coal, which can form an industry in Wanquan.

In the past month or so, Chen Mu wanted to understand one thing - why there were so many people in the ancient north.

Because in winter in the north, let alone people, horses are unwilling to leave the stables. This season is too long, so long that people have nothing else to do except to have more children.

There was no one working on the construction site of the Military Weapons Bureau near the Xuanfu, and the complicated daily drills scheduled by the Wanquan guards could not be completed at all. They could only be trained by fellow generals and their subordinates. They often ran, but even running could not reach Chen Mu's level Require.

Because they don't have enough to eat enough to sustain a strenuous exercise.

There are not many guards in the Xuanfu, and they can still be full by feeding chickens and vegetables on weekdays, but their food drops sharply in winter. They are not as luxurious as the Nanyang Guards, who feed pigs and chickens for their own food.They feed the chickens to sell them at the end of the year in exchange for noodles.

There is food in winter, but it is too expensive. Chen Mu can afford it, but the army can't afford it.

In fact, there are many tricks, the cheapest pickled vegetables and dried vegetables; the slightly more expensive ones are cellar vegetables, that is, through cellar storage, sand storage, refrigeration, mixed fruit, wax sealing, sealing and other means, for example, when storing pears, mixed with radishes. Not bad.

In addition, there are greenhouse dishes made in hot spring areas, and off-season dishes such as Yunhuo and Wengu. These things are delicacies on the dinner tables of dignitaries and nobles in winter, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enjoy them.

They only have pickled vegetables and dried vegetables, and they can occasionally eat Chinese cabbage. They don't have enough food, and Chen Mu won't be able to get so much for a while, which means that this winter can only pass in a semi-desolate state.

This situation will last until the end of the first month of the fifth year of Longqing before it gets better, so Chen Mu did another awesome thing.

He wrote a letter to the emperor, hoping to get a chance to enter the palace.

Because there is a piece of land in the Xiyuan of the palace, called Goose Hui Pond, where flowers, vegetables, melons and beans are planted, which is related to his reward.

Speaking of the reward, Chen Mu was almost pissed off. When he came back from outside the Great Wall, the emperor gave him a house full of flowers, which bloomed gorgeously in winter, and they were packed in seven or eight carriages from the imperial road in the capital. The horses are here.

It is said that what he did was the spring of Daming.

But the little shopkeeper was so happy, he watched it for several days, and said that this was the kindness of concubines in the harem-Chen Mu really didn't think it was a boast.

After driving for three days, it stopped completely, but what was Chen Mu thinking?What he was thinking was that there was a big shed in the palace, and he had to get that thing. It's not a problem for good things to be hidden in the palace.

After communicating with Xu Jue, let him know about this matter, and immediately wrote a letter to the emperor, saying that he has never seen such a miraculous thing, there are still flowers in winter, can you give him a gift to enter the palace to see Look.

Within a few days, the emperor sent the letter back, asking him to come to the palace to have a look, and specially put a little eunuch waiting in front of him to guide him when the time came.

The holiday of Shangyuan Festival.

The Chinese New Year is approaching in a blink of an eye, and dogs are reluctant to leave their dens in winter, but the frontier defense must be strictly monitored in the past ten days, and the more reasonable it is to relax, the less we can relax.

Then he rode his horse all the way to the Imperial City, entered the Forbidden City, passed through the Forbidden City and entered Xiyuan.

In fact, this was the first time that Chen Mu met the emperor face to face. Xiyuan was where the emperor worked and played. In order to meet the general, the emperor shunned the maids and concubines and took Chen Mu to see the flowers.

General Zhenshuo's pao left a deep impression on Emperor Longqing, and even entering the palace to see flowers was regarded by Long Qing as a concession to a meritorious minister.

Chen Mu guessed that this journey should be smooth and smooth, but obviously nothing in this world can be consistent with his imagination. When Emperor Longqing saw him, he said something with a smile.

"General Chen, you have been impeached again."

Chen Mu knew that no one else could do it unless he could think of it. After the emperor asked him to excuse him, he pretended to be shocked and said: "Your Majesty, I must be terrified. I must have done something wrong!"

Emperor Longqing felt very bored, frowning as if eating a fly, he waved his sleeves and walked ahead with his hands behind his back.

"I've never seen a worse performance than you!"

Chen Mu followed behind step by step, lowered his head and said expressionlessly: "I am really panic..."

Before Chen Mu finished speaking, Emperor Longqing turned his head quickly, his beard was still trembling, excitedly raised three fingers and said triumphantly: "Three days, it took them three days to know that I want to recruit you. palace!"

Chen Mu was taken aback, and said slowly with his mouth fixed: "I'm really terrified... terrified."

"Okay, I don't blame you, what's the point of visiting the Imperial Garden when you come back from the fortress." Emperor Longqing was obviously in a good mood, and he waved his sleeves and pointed forward: "Over there is the goose gray pond you want to see. , also called bite spring garden, there are cucumbers and chives in it, but you can just look at it, you can’t eat it.”

"I told them not to use these things that waste money. I don't know how much wood they will burn in one winter."

can not eat?
Why can't you eat it?
