"I know all the worries in Aiqing's hearts! I am not a ruthless murderer, a reckless warrior, although this plate armor and vanadium steel horse lance are good, but I will only equip them with the Xuanjia army! And this batch of equipment of the Xuanjia Army does not need to be paid or produced by the imperial court, and Yong'an Hou is willing to supply it all with his own strength! ”

In the Taiji Palace, Li Er saw that Li Jing, Xiao Yu and other important ministers of the empire came forward to admonish, and he couldn't help but smile and said.

As soon as the words fell, all the civil and military officials turned their eyes to Li Zexuan. The armor and equipment of thousands of cavalrymen are all tied to one person, how can this matter be mysterious, because if nothing else, only the iron required for these thousands of sets of armor and equipment is at least more than 200,000 catties! In the entire Datang, there are definitely no more than three people who can come up with so much iron, and it just so happens that Li Zexuan is one of them!

Besides, the cost of steel is removed, and the labor cost is definitely not a small amount, especially the manufacturing process of plate armor and vanadium steel horse lance is extremely sophisticated, and the cost of manpower and equipment required to manufacture thousands of sets of armor must be an astronomical amount! Li Zexuan is willing to pay so much manpower, material resources, and financial resources for free to provide equipment supply for the Xuanjia Army, how can this not be shocking?

If what Li Er said was someone else's, it is estimated that the Manchu courtiers' union would not hesitate to spray the other party into Xiang, but Li Er was talking about Li Zexuan, so the Manchu Dynasty civil and military would have to believe it! Because Li Zexuan does have this financial strength, and the new workshop of Qiqu Pavilion does have this strength!

But everyone really couldn't figure out why Li Zexuan had to pay such a big price to provide logistics and equipment support to the Xuanjia Army free of charge!

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Zexuan stepped forward and arched his hand: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband." As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the minister eats the monarch and eats the king, so he naturally has to worry about the monarch, when today, the strength of the Tang Dynasty is proud, but the northern Turks are still like a group of fierce wolves, peeking at my Tang Dynasty.

The honor and disgrace of the ministers are all due to His Majesty, and the wealth of the ministers is from the land of the Tang Dynasty. When the country is in danger, don't say that let the minister pay these thousands of sets of weapons and armor, even if the minister scatters all his wealth to support my Tang army, the minister will never say anything! If the Tang Dynasty can't defeat the Turks, what's the use of having hundreds of millions of family fortunes? ”

Li Zexuan's words were impassioned and loud, and when the words fell, there was silence in the hall, and the courtiers all looked sideways, looking at Li Zexuan with appreciation, excitement, and respect!

Tang people are more arrogant, this is an era in which the honor of the nation and the country is unprecedentedly strong, and today's Li Zexuan's words made many people in the court excited and excited, and Li Zexuan's image in the minds of civil and military officials instantly became taller!

Since last month, the Tang Dynasty pacified Shuofang and defeated the Turkic army to rescue Liang Shidu, the entire Tang Dynasty seems to have entered a state of pre-war preparation, especially the court officials, everyone understands in their hearts that there will soon be a fierce battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

"Yong'an Hou is dedicated to the country, upright and righteous, the old man admires!"

Wei Zheng, who was still clamoring for the impeachment of Li Zexuan half an hour ago, was the first to jump out at this moment, he first arched his hand towards Li Zexuan convincingly, and then bowed to Li Er and said:

"Your Majesty, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! Yong'an Hou's words deeply touched the old minister, and the minister decided that from today onwards, the Tang Dynasty will not destroy the Turks for a day, and the minister will not receive a fortune for a day, and the minister is willing to use all the future fortunes to build weapons and armor for my Tang Dynasty soldiers! ”

In Wei Zheng's opinion, Li Zexuan, an upstart in the court, can pay so much for the Tang Dynasty, so how can he, as an old minister of the empire, be indifferent at this time? At present, the country and the nation are righteous, and Wei Zheng can also do it like Li Zexuan without caring about personal gains and losses!

"Father, the son is willing to spend half of the East Palace every month to buy weapons and armor for the Tang Dynasty soldiers!"

Li Chengqian, who was standing at the head of Li Er, stood up at this time and arched his hand.

As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, his statement is of extraordinary significance.

"Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to cut his own money and support my Tang Dynasty to prepare for the Turks!"

At this time, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stood up together and bowed to Li Er.

"The old minister is also willing to cut his own money, and hand over all the iron ore of the eldest grandson's family to Yong'an Hou for free to make artifacts and destroy the Turks!"

The eldest grandson Wuji also stepped forward.

Speaking of which, the eldest grandson Wuji is really the honor and disgrace of the whole family, all tied to the Tang Dynasty and the royal family, he is a relative of the emperor, his sister is the queen of the Tang Dynasty, and his nephew is the current prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty! So now "donate money", the eldest grandson Wuji is not ambiguous at all, the only thing that makes him a little depressed is that the first one to jump out to "donate money" is Li Zexuan, he is now at most the icing on the cake, not a charcoal in the snow!

Whether it's the icing on the cake or the charcoal in the snow, no one dares to drop the chain at such a critical moment to take a stand.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all bowed down and said at this moment: "The ministers are also willing to cut their own money and help me make artifacts in the Tang Dynasty and destroy the Turks!" ”

Seeing that a good early dynasty was about to turn into a "fundraising conference", Li Er was moved at the same time, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "All Aiqing's patriotic hearts are appreciated!" But the court is not yet difficult enough to use the public Aiqing's money to get by, so the saying of cutting the money is not to mention it again! Zhuqing only needs to do his essential part, and Datang will definitely be able to grow stronger and stronger and defeat the Turks! ”

Thanks to the rapid development of the southern maritime trade, Datang's current financial situation is still very healthy, at least it is not short of money and food! Therefore, Li Er has no intention of deducting his courtiers!

Hearing this, the hundred officials hesitated for a moment, and then said in unison: "The ministers will definitely do their best to assist Your Majesty, create a prosperous era for thousands of years, and pacify the enemies of the universe!" ”

Li Erlong's face was happy, and he smiled: "Okay! Our monarchs and ministers work together to create a prosperous world, just Turkic, why be afraid? ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The civil and military officials shouted in unison.

Li Zexuan stepped forward at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the things that the minister is offering today, in addition to plate armor and vanadium steel horse lance, there are also vanadium steel horse armor and horseshoe!" ”

Li Er frowned and said: "This vanadium steel horse armor, Fang Cai I have already seen it, it is indeed very conducive to cavalry charge, but what is this horseshoe?" Why didn't I see it? ”

Li Zexuan was about to explain, but Duan Zhixuan took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the minister guessed that the horseshoe that Yong'an Hou said should be a kind of thing on the horse's hooves, and Fang Caichen noticed that the horse's hooves of his war horse seemed to be wrapped in steel, and it should be the horseshoe that Yong'an Hou said!" ”

As the commander of the Xuanjia Army, Duan Zhixuan's observation of horses is undoubtedly more careful, and it is only with him that he can discover such inconspicuous details.

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "General Duan has good eyesight, the horse we just rode is indeed covered with steel on its hooves. ”

After that, he arched his hand towards Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, in the eyes of the minister, we people need to wear shoes, and horses also need to wear shoes!" After the horse wears this kind of shoes made of steel, not only does not affect the running, but also greatly delays the wear and tear of the horse's hooves, I Datang every year there will be tens of thousands of good horses because of the horse's wear and crack, and are discarded, if all the horses are nailed to the horseshoe, I dare to guarantee that the average life of the horse can be extended by at least two years! ”

As soon as the words fell, the ministers shook again, and couldn't help but talk in private.

After a while, Xiao Yu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, if what the Marquis of Yong'an said is true, the minister suggests that the horseshoe be implemented in the army immediately!" Datang every year because of the wear and tear of the horseshoe and eliminate the war horses, there are definitely more than 10,000 horses, especially the front-line war horse wear and tear is more terrifying, if the horseshoe can really play a role in protecting the horseshoe, it will save Datang countless money every year! Military spending can be saved by at least 20%! ”

As the housekeeper of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Yu helps Li Er take charge of the country's money bag, and he knows better than anyone how much of the imperial court's annual military expenditure is used to buy war horses. So after hearing Li Zexuan's introduction to the usefulness of the horseshoe, Xiao Yu was more excited than anyone else!

"Military spending cut by 20%!"

Hearing this, not only did many officials in the court look shocked, but Li Er, who was sitting at the top, was not calm, Lao Li sat up straight, looked at Li Zexuan and said: "Yong'an Hou, are you sure that this horseshoe will not only not hurt the horseshoe, but can also protect the horseshoe?" ”

Li Zexuan arched his hand and said: "The minister is very sure! If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can let people bring the big white in, and at that time, the horseshoe will not hurt the horse's paw, everyone will know at a glance! ”

Li Er also wanted to take a closer look at what the horseshoe looked like, so he nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Accurate!" ”

His own eunuch went out to help Li Zexuan lead the horse, and after a while, Da Bai finally stood on top of the court again, and four wrestlers came from the side, wanting to work together to knock Da Bai over, but Li Zexuan waved his hand to stop him.

I saw Li Zexuan touch the handful of mane next to Da Bai's neck, and whispered something in Da Bai's ear, and then, a magical scene appeared!

I saw Da Bai snort, rubbed Li Zexuan's arm with his head, and then Da Bai bent the horse's legs, first knelt on the ground, and then it turned over numbly, and directly lay on its back with four hooves facing the sky!

Da Bai Tong human nature, this Li Zexuan had already discovered when he exterminated the gang of bandits in Beibi Mountain last year, and then he often trained Da Bai intentionally or unintentionally, and cultivated a tacit understanding between each other, so this scene appeared!

Everyone in the court, including Li Er, was stunned, and Li Zexuan said at this time: "Your Majesty and the ministers, please see, is there a horseshoe nailed on this horse's hoof?" ”

Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Biting Jin, Changsun Wuji and other more than a dozen important ministers took the lead in coming forward to check, after reading it, Duan Zhixuan couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "On this horse's hooves, it is indeed nailed into the shoes made of steel, but this horse has just been in a battle with Duan, and its four hooves are quite flexible, and there is no sign of injury, it is really magical!" ”

"That's right! Why didn't I think of nailing an iron piece to the horse's hooves before? This thing is good! However, Xiao Xuan, you are more interested in the imperial horse technique, and if you have time, you have to teach the old man! ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed and said.

Li Zexuan replied: "Uncle Cheng, this horse art is just a small Dao'er, as long as you are familiar with the horse, anyone can do what the little nephew did!" ”

Cheng Yanjin naturally didn't believe it, but before he could speak, Li Er, who was sitting on the dragon chair before, had already walked down at this time, and after he looked at the four hooves of the big white for a while, he said:

"This horseshoe is really a good thing, but with iron pieces embedded in the horse's hooves, doesn't the horse really feel pain?"

Li Zexuan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the dark part of the horse's hooves is a very thick hard cuticle, and there are no blood vessels in it, just like human fingernails, so the horse doesn't hurt at all when the horseshoe is nailed." Under normal circumstances, a horse that runs too long a distance, or walks on a rough road, will cause the hard cuticle on the horse's hooves to be quickly polished and split, so that the horse becomes lame and cannot walk. That's why the minister has to put shoes on Dabai to slow down the wear and tear of its four hooves! ”

Li Er roughly understood what Li Zexuan meant, and he suddenly said, "I see!" ”

Then, Li Er returned to the dragon chair, he looked at the ministers in the hall, pondered for a moment, and said: "Yan Aiqing listens to the order~!" ”

Yan Lide stepped forward and arched his hand: "The old minister listens to the order!" ”

Li Er said in a deep voice: "Order the Ministry of Industry to immediately make a batch of horseshoes, and in the future, all the war horses on my Datang front must be nailed with horseshoes!" ”

Yan Lide bowed down and said, "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

Li Er nodded, and then set his eyes on Li Zexuan, Li Zexuan was happy in his heart, and secretly said Lao Li Is this going to reward himself?

Li Er didn't know what Li Zexuan was thinking, he said expressionlessly: "Yong'an Hou stepped forward to listen to the order!" ”

"Minister Li Zexuan listens to the order!"

Li Zexuan arched his hand with anticipation.

Who knew that Li Er said: "Yong'an Hou Jin dedicated plate armor, vanadium steel horse lance, vanadium steel horse armor and horseshoe, and made great contributions, in view of the fact that you know the military affairs very well, you are specially appointed to join the army as the Xuanjia Army, and assist Duan Zhixuan to complete the replacement of the Xuanjia Army's equipment as soon as possible, and combine with new equipment to formulate new training methods and new combat tactics!" ”

Nani? Let me go to the Xuanjia Army to join the army? Hearing this, Li Zexuan was immediately stunned!

Not only was he confused, but the civil and military officials in the court were also confused! After all, Li Zexuan has always belonged to the civil official camp, looking at Li Zexuan's resume after entering the court, Dr. Guozijian - Guozijian Siye - Yanhuang Academy Mountain Chief - Prince James - Prince Shaobao - Yong'an Hou, this way has come from the path of civil officials, but now Li Er actually gave Li Zexuan a record to join the army, isn't this branding?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this move is inappropriate!"

Before Li Zexuan could express his objections, Wei Zheng sprayed, ah, he opened his mouth!
