At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, each post station was equipped with five to ten people, and the post was the head of a post and the post soldiers were under its jurisdiction.

Therefore, even if the post man leaves the post station, as long as he does not encounter special circumstances, it is generally not a big deal. Of course, during the national war, it is not certain when an urgent report will come, and at that time, the post man needs to coordinate the whole post and arrange for the post soldiers to send letters or arrange horses for the messenger.

This is the reason for Yicheng's hesitation.

However, since the other party said that it was just to lead the way, it wouldn't take a few hours.

A few people on the Tang River followed Yicheng along the official road to the north, a distance of three or four miles, and there were no less than ten paths on the left and right. I also have to pull the post man, otherwise if you want to find the blacksmith, you can only hehe~!

After two or three miles around the path, a small town appeared in front of several people.

It's said to be a small town, but it's actually a small market. A rough count on the Tang River shows that there are only about twenty houses, most of which are thatched houses.

This gave Tang Shilang a little headache, iron is such a high-end thing, can this kind of small bazaar be had?

What a lot of horses! Where have you seen a dozen horses in the small bazaar?

The arrival of the six people made the residents of the small bazaar very curious, and in addition to being curious, there was also some anxiety in their eyes, and no one dared to come forward.

It must be a big shot! Who knows if the big guys have anything to shy away from?

Look, the post master is leading the way for the big guys!

"Little grandfather, this is here, there is a blacksmith surnamed Zhang, in the middle of the market. I'll go back first, it's too long, I'm afraid it's not good. ”

Yi Cheng brought the five people on the Tang River to the market entrance and made a request to slip away.

Tang Heshang didn't answer, just waved his hand to let Yi Cheng leave.

Dilapidated thatched huts, shabby clothes, and a few naked seven or eight-year-old dolls. You know, it's only the first day of February, and the dolls are freezing black.

Walking slowly on the small market, this is the first time on the Tang River that the people of the Tang Dynasty are really poor.

These scenes and the sage articles he learned at home and in the Hongwen Hall formed a huge impact, like the tide beating on the heart of the Tang River, making him a little stunned for a while.

"What are you stunned about? We're here to find a blacksmith! ”

The heartless Fang Lao Er gently pushed Tang He.

Yes, it's important to get down to business. Tang Shilang came back to his senses, suppressed the compassion in his heart, and continued to move forward with his friends.

It was only a few steps away from the blacksmith's shop.

The shop is very simple, the bare stove and a few iron hammers are combined, not at all like those shops in Chang'an City, and not a single iron object has been hung out.

The business of the shop does not look very good, and the stove is not yet on fire at this time.

This made Tang Heshang even more hesitant, is there iron here?

The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man, and he thinks it is the reason for the perennial iron, which is a little dark. But his eyes were sharp, he rubbed his hands and smiled and stepped forward to ask, "What items can a few Lang Jun make?" ”

"Yes!"

Tang Heshang nodded, glanced at the shop that didn't need to be looked at at all and said, "If you want to make some iron, do you have iron here?" ”

"Yes, it's just not too much, I don't know what Lang Jun wants to build, and how much iron it will cost?"

The man's eyes lit up, the shop has not been in business for a long time, if the other party doesn't want much iron......

Tang Heshang estimated and said: "It's not much, it's estimated to be about thirty catties." ”

"Yes! Some! Some! ”

The man hurriedly replied, for fear of missing the business.

"Hmm!"

Tang Laosi snorted and said to the man: "Find a piece of charcoal, a wooden board, draw it out, see if you can do it, if you can do it, you can do it here!" ”

"Huh! Lang Jun wait! ”

The man nodded heavily, turned around and ran into the house.

If you want to talk about pen and ink, a man will definitely not be able to take it out, but charcoal and wooden boards, that is not simple?

Tang Shilang took these two things, squatted down and began to write and draw, and after a while, something in the shape of a crescent moon appeared on the wooden board.

"Can you do it?"

"Yes!"

"Then do it!"

Tang Shilang didn't ask the price, it's a good thing to be able to do it, isn't it?

The man in the blacksmith shop didn't quote either, since the other party didn't ask the price, then just do it, the Tang people made promises, and this kind of thing basically won't happen.

The charcoal is burned on fire, the iron is melted and forged, and the fist-sized iron begins to deform under the combined action of the charcoal fire and the iron hammer. It's just a bit slow!

Cheng Chubi suddenly thought of a friend who was a little swarthy like himself, that guy's family heirloom is iron, I don't know if my friend will be?

The tenacious iron ball finally turned into an iron bar the size of a little thumb, and looking at the process in front of him, a knowledge point suddenly popped up in Donald Laosi's mind, "The malleability of iron".

The baby is so tired!

Tang Shilang rolled his eyes, since there was an inexplicable thing in his mind, a knowledge point popped up from time to time. It's like annotating what you see, bothered? I'm not a top student!

The bars were burned red, then chiseled with chisels, and then ...... At last......!

Eventually, something in the shape of a crescent moon appeared on the ground.

"Well, Shiro, what's the use of this thing?"

Li Decheng finally opened his mouth to ask his doubts, and he thought that this thing must be useful. It's just that Li De, who prides himself on being a good trick and a good skill, really didn't see the usefulness of this thing.

"Blacksmith, you get a few nails on the diagram first."

Tang Heshang smiled slightly, and successively ordered: "Li Zhen, bring the white horse over!" ”

Li Zhen nodded and turned to lead the horse.

After a few iron nails were ready, Tang Shilang instructed Cheng Chubi to put the horse down.

Then he snatched the dagger in Li Zhen's arms and squatted on the side of the horse.

The crescent-shaped piece of iron was compared to the injured hooves of the white horse, and Tang Heshang picked up the horse's hooves and began to sharpen with a dagger in the stunned eyes of his companions!

"Shiro, stop!"

"Although this horse's hooves are a little injured, they can still be used!"

"Monk, be careful of the horse kicking you!"

"Shiro, you didn't mean to fall on the horse, you don't need to cut its foot to vent your anger, right?"

"Ouch, Lang Jun, horses are so expensive!"

The astonishment and worry of the companions, the lament of the blacksmith.

"Panic, let you see a miracle!" Tang Heshang didn't care about anything, just turned his head and said a word with a smile, and then continued to raise and drop his knife.

"Shhh

The cuticle on the horse's hooves became thinner and thinner, and several people at the scene took a deep breath of cold air, the partners were afraid of being kicked on the Tang River, and the blacksmith simply felt a pity.

If you don't want it, it's good to send me too!

Tang He didn't care about other people's expressions, and what happened next was even more thrilling!

At least, Cheng Chubi and the blacksmith felt so.

I saw that the Tang River put the half-moon iron on the ground on the horse's hooves, and then picked up the iron nails, and the hammer began to nail!

it!

If you cut it, you still have to nail it?

Glancing at the expressions of his partners, Tang Shilang began to wonder if his candidate was a little hasty for the first time in the past few days.

Guys, this psychological quality is weak!
