Horses are the most important animal power in this era.

It was not only used for military purposes, but also for transportation, and in some places, horses were used to plough the land due to the shortage of cattle.

And once the horse loses its hooves, the whole horse is considered to be a cost.

But the reason why horses are expensive is, to a certain extent, that they consume too much.

Even in the Tang Army, the already rare cavalry did not dare to practice easily.

Because training means that people need to gallop on horses, and if they run too much, the horse's hooves will wear out, and once they are scrapped, the loss will be great.

Any war horse is precious, because war horses are often carefully selected, and they need to be fed with fine horse feed, and they need to be taken care of by manpower, all of which are money, and in the market, especially in this Zhenguan period, the price of war horses is very high.

Although Chen Zhengtai has money, he also knows that money is not used to waste, Chen Zhengtai is not ambiguous, and went directly to the blacksmith's workshop, and first asked people to make a horseshoe according to his own will.

Immediately, a horse was found.

Su Lie and Xue Rengui's eyes were straight, Su Lie couldn't help it at first, and said, "Big brother, what are you going to do?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said very naturally: "Naturally, this horseshoe is nailed into the horse's hooves." ”

Su Lie was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "This ...... Isn't that appropriate, isn't that ......?"

Chen Zhengtai didn't bother to explain so much to him, he had this blind time, and he didn't do everything well!

The principle of this thing is simple, but it ...... Any new thing, is the explanation useful? If so, where did the burning come about?

Of course, at this time, the East was not as barbaric as the West, but Chen Zhengtai still didn't bother to explain, and only said: "You still know how to wear shoes when you run, I'll put shoes on this horse, what's wrong?" ”

“……”

Su Lie didn't say anything anymore, anyway, the eldest brother had money.

So according to Chen Zhengtai's instructions, he began to nail the horseshoe to the horse.

The horse neighed, but its hooves had no pain nerves, and although it was nailed into it, it was not weak, but it was only frightened.

Then, Chen Zhengtai asked people to ride this horse on the martial arts training ground for a few laps, this war horse was a little unaccustomed at first, but slowly ...... It seems to be starting to get used to it.

Then he said to Su Lie: "Let people use this horse to practice, you don't have to be polite, and then see the results after three or five days, if the effect is good, all the war horses will be replaced for me, as well as this saddle and stirrups, I think it will also be improved." ”

"You're welcome?" Su Lie hesitated and said, "Then I'll really try." ”

On weekdays, everyone cherishes war horses, and they can only ride for half an hour intermittently a day, which is still the case that Erpigou has abundant money and food.

If it is other cavalry, where can there be such good treatment.

Su Ding naturally knew that training riders was nothing more than a way to practice day and night, and there was no other way to take shortcuts.

Since the eldest brother said it so magnificently, then he is not welcome.

Chen Zhengtai said impatiently: "Don't deduct the rope for money-related things, as long as it is a problem that money can't solve, come and talk to me." ”

"Whoa!" Su Ding's eyebrows danced authentically.

It's really happy to recognize such a brother, isn't this taking money to smash it?

Su Ding hardly had to bother much in this Erpigou, the only thing to do was to do what he liked, and put all the methods he thought of in the army over the years into practice.

There is no such happy brother and boss as Chen Zhengtai in this world, who never picks on your difficulties, nor does he want to rub oil from it, never interferes with you, just blindly asks you if you have enough money, and then comes to say, it is not enough.

At noon, a eunuch came, saying that His Majesty had an invitation.

Chen Zhengtai muttered in his heart, and hurried into the palace.

Who knew that he got to the gate of the palace, but saw a car driving out, and the eunuch in front suddenly stopped Chen Zhengtai: "But is it Chen Jungong?" It's really rare, I actually bumped into it here, this is Princess Changle's car, why don't Chen Jungong go to see it? ”

Chen Zhengtai thought to himself, it is clear that you Changle Gonggong is going to greet me, why did it become me to meet me?

He vomited in his heart, but he immediately put on a smile, got off the horse, and said in front of the car: "I've seen my junior sister, where is my junior sister going?" ”

The curtain was lifted in the car, revealing the pretty face of Princess Changle.

Princess Changle glanced at Chen Zhengtai deeply, and when she saw Chen Zhengtai's dusty appearance, she couldn't help but say: "I saw that my senior brother was sweating profusely, but it was my father who urged you to come to see the driver, you are also hard, hmm...... I'm going to my uncle's house, Changsun Chong, I don't know if you know, he said that Changsun's family trained a few dwarf slaves, which is very interesting, teach me to take a look. ”

Daozhou dwarf slave?

It is said that when Emperor Yang of Sui, there was a dwarf from Daozhou, who spoke interestingly and was good at singing and dancing, and was very popular with Emperor Yang of Sui, so this state dwarf slave became famous all over the world.

Since then, Emperor Yang of Sui has issued a decree to let Daozhou pay tribute to dwarf slaves. You must know that this first generation of dwarf slaves may just be born, Emperor Yang of Sui actually thought that dwarf slaves were a specialty of Daozhou, so later, there was no one in Daozhou who was short and could speak well, so what should I do?

So...... In order to please the emperor, they had to domesticate dwarf slaves, they put the children caught locally in a kind of clay pot, pressed the top with heavy objects on weekdays, only let the children show their heads, and then taught the children the art of Youling every day, after a long time, these children whose bodies in the clay pot could not grow, and finally became dwarfs, and then sent to Chang'an for the royal family and nobles to amuse.

When Chen Zhengtai heard this Daozhou dwarf slave, he couldn't help frowning: "What is there to see about the Daozhou dwarf slave." ”

Princess Changle had suspicion on her face, and couldn't help but say, "What's so good-looking?" ”

Chen Zhengtai smiled dryly: "Daozhou dwarf slaves are ugly, and they are not as good as me, I don't say politely, ten Daozhou dwarf slaves are not as good as me." ”

Princess Changle laughed and said, "Senior brother is actually compared to Daozhou dwarf slaves?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "They are human beings, and I am also human beings, what is incomparable?" Later, when I enter the palace, I will ask my mentor to depose the harsh government of the dwarf slaves, you wait, there will be no dwarf slaves to see in the near future. ”

Princess Changle thought to herself, she had come into contact with this senior brother, and she rarely seemed to say anything thorny, but today, ...... But there seems to be a stomach of complaints, is he complaining about Daozhou dwarf slaves? What does this state dwarf slave have to do with him? Don't...... He doesn't like it...... Eldest grandson Chong?

Princess Changle thought for a while and said, "Senior brother, I listen to your tone, it seems that I don't like my cousin Sun Chong. ”

"I haven't seen him, and I have no grievances with him, so what's there to like or dislike." Chen Zhengtai said calmly.

He is telling the truth, the eldest grandson is a little lacking in virtue to his father, but we can't be connected, right.

Princess Changle frowned, and said with a look of disbelief: "But when you say this, it seems that there is, and my cousin and the eldest grandson have ...... Married ......"

As she spoke, she raised her beautiful eyes and quietly looked at Chen Zhengtai's reaction.

Chen Zhengtai also felt as if his sense of justice was a little inexplicable, although this state dwarf slave, although it was pitiful, it was necessary to abolish it, why bother to show too much indignation in front of Princess Changle.

It's just that...... Hearing the marriage contract between the eldest grandson Chong and Princess Changle, Chen Zhengtai got serious: "Actually, there are some things that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Princess Changle waited for Chen Zhengtai to speak, her pretty face turned red, and she said shyly: "You say it, don't be afraid." ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Senior sister, you and the eldest grandson Chong are cousins, as your senior brother, I am responsible to tell you that you are three generations of blood relatives, if you are married, I am afraid that it will have a great impact on the birth of children in the future, cough cough...... I shouldn't have said this, as if I, Chen Zhengtai, deliberately wanted to break my sister's marriage contract, but it was just ...... Not good, not good. ”

He shook his head.

After Chen Zhengtai said these words, he felt a little regretful, he was still too Meng Lang, it was someone else's business to have a marriage contract, what kind of fun did he make, but it was as if he was deliberately trying to harm Changsun Chong.

But as a scientifically conscious person, Chen Zhengtai knows it very well...... Inbreeding, from a scientific point of view, is really not good, Princess Changle is her own sister, remind me myself, this is also very reasonable.

When Princess Changle heard this, she couldn't help but bow her head and hid in the carriage, Chen Zhengtai couldn't see her face clearly.

"Oh, so, then, then...... I know, brother...... I listen to you, I won't go to the eldest grandson's house, someone will come...... Let's go back to the palace. ”

When the coachman heard this, he turned his horse's head and went to the palace again.

Chen Zhengtai was confused when he heard it, hey, hell, I only said that it is not possible to inbreed, such a clear and clear scientific question, and I haven't explained to her what a recessive allele is......

She knows everything?

And...... What I said earlier, isn't it looking at Daozhou dwarf slaves?

Chen Zhengtai was still in a daze, the carriage had gone far away, Chen Zhengtai thought for a moment, didn't understand, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, what do you understand?" ”

The carriage was resolute and not polite at all.

Chen Zhengtai sighed and shook his head, still seeing that it was important.

But...... He still didn't understand what the situation of this Changle junior sister was today, and muttered in his heart, not long after, he arrived at the Taiji Palace, but saw Li Chengqian waiting here.

Li Chengqian looked at Chen Zhengtai, frowned and said, "Why did Senior Brother come so late?" ”

Chen Zhengtai first saluted Li Shimin after the imperial case: "I have seen my teacher." ”

Li Shimin bowed: "Sit down, I have something to say." ”

"Yes." Chen Zhengtai knelt down and sat down opposite Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin took care of the case: "In the past few days, I haven't slept well, and I only think about Liu Laosan's ......."

Li Chengqian said without thinking about it: "No wonder the queen mother said that my father is always fascinated these days, and I don't know who I am fascinated by." ”

"Shut up!" Li Shimin roared loudly.
