Chapter 52 Sharing Worries for the Country
"Hahaha! Not bad, not bad......! ”
Li Er looked at the happy old farmer and laughed heartily.
He wanted to think that it was just an ordinary plow, and that there was no hope at all.
But I never expected that the power of this plough would be so great.
The grassroots, which neither horse could plow, could be easily turned over by a single horse with his plow.
"Your Majesty, this plough can not only save half of the horses, but also increase the efficiency several times, the minister suggests, immediately start to promote, so that all the people can use such a good plow."
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu said excitedly.
"Alas......"
Seeing the effect of this plow, Li Er and the others were very happy, but the two old men who impeached Zhao Yin sighed deeply at this moment.
originally planned to take this opportunity to ruin Zhao Yin's reputation, and he could earn 3,000 yuan for nothing.
I didn't expect this plow to be so magical.
If this is done, the owner will definitely commend himself, and now it's all over, and he won't even have to get in.
Now it's not just the two of them who are worried, but even the few officials who are supporting them are all pale and have different thoughts.
This time, in accordance with the will of the clan, he tried to find a way to deal with Zhao Yin, but he didn't expect to ruin his future with his own hands.
"Alright...... Let's do it first! ”
Li Er hurriedly waved his hand and asked the old farmer to stop.
In just a few moments, this meadow should have been cultivated, and if it continues, I am afraid that the entire imperial garden will be turned over by him.
"The grass people dare to ask Your Majesty, where did you buy this plow?"
Hearing the emperor's will, the old farmer, who had not yet enjoyed farming, couldn't put it down, and kept staring at the plow.
If you could buy such a plow yourself, it would be much easier to plow the land in the future.
"If you want, I'll give him to you, hahaha......!"
Seeing that this plow was so magical, Li Er was in a good mood, waved his hand, and gave away Zhao Yin's Quyuan plow.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you."
The old peasant immediately fell to his knees and thanked him, rejoicing as if he had given him countless treasures of gold and silver.
"Okay, we've seen the plow, it's really good, now you can tell me what those patches are for!"
After Li Er saw that Zhao Yin didn't say anything, he looked forward to these patches even more.
"Then the son-in-law would like to ask Your Majesty first, how many war horses are eliminated every year because of the wear and tear of the horses' hooves?"
Zhao Yin did not answer Li Er's words, but instead asked such a question.
"Probably tens of thousands of horses......!"
After thinking for a while, Li Er replied helplessly.
Every year, just to buy war horses, Datang needs to spend a lot of money to buy from Fanbang, and they have to be constrained.
"Congratulations to my father-in-law, I don't have to worry about this problem in the future...... Zhao Yin hugged his fists and saluted.
Li Er stared at the few pieces of iron, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "You mean...... Can these few small pieces of iron solve this problem? ”
He combined Zhao Yin's question with the shape of the iron piece, and after a little thought, he understood a little.
"Your Majesty Shengming, don't look at these patches are small, but the effect is very large, as long as this iron piece is nailed to the horse's shoe, you can easily solve the problem of horsehoe wear, so as to prolong the service life of the war horse and save countless expenses for Datang."
"Really...... you?"
Li Er looked at Zhao Yin in surprise.
And several generals over there, including Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong, all opened their mouths in surprise.
All of them are commanders who have led troops to fight for many years, and they know the speed of elimination of war horses.
The main reason is not that the horses are sick and injured, but that the horse's hooves are worn out.
Once the horse's hooves are badly worn, it becomes a problem to even walk, let alone go to battle.
If this problem can be solved, it will really solve a heart problem for His Majesty!
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can bring over an eliminated war horse, and the son-in-law will give you a try."
"Come, do as the horse wants."
"Yes."
Soon, a guard came over, holding a horse that had been eliminated due to severe wear and tear on the horse's hooves.
Under Zhao Yin's guidance, these horseshoes and horseshoe nails were installed.
After the guards let go of the war horse, the war horse, which was originally difficult to walk, was able to gallop easily in the imperial garden.
I can't tell it's worn out at all.
Cheng Yanjin is still not at ease, after all, what is applied to the war horse must not have a little problem, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
He threw his legs and mounted on horseback, and ran around the imperial garden himself before stopping satisfied.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this horseshoe is really good, the war horses we eliminated this year can continue to be used, haha......!"
Cheng Yanjin handed over the war horse to the guards and said to the emperor excitedly.
"Not bad, not bad......! In the future, I don't have to worry about war horses anymore, hahaha......! ”
Li Er couldn't stop nodding, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.
Datang belongs to Middle Earth and is not suitable for raising horses, so every year the war horses must be purchased from the hands of Fanbang.
Now with this horseshoe, he can expand the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty again.
This is definitely a weapon for war, and with this, it is not a problem to go to Goguryeo or Baekje.
"Now that the effects of things have been verified, I wonder what the two imperial historians think about this matter? Can these things benefit the people and share the worries of His Majesty? ”
Zhao Yin turned his head to look at the two old guys in the Imperial Tower.
If it weren't for the support of other colleagues, it is estimated that it would have fallen long ago.
"Uh...... It's the old minister's fault, the old minister's old eyes are dizzy, and the wrong one is to blame the ...... of the horse! ”
Shen Yuan sighed deeply, like a frustrated rooster.
"The horse is wise, and the old minister has no eyes."
Yushi Qianlin also lowered his head helplessly.
Now the eyes of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are staring at them, and there is no room for denial.
And the emperor is also present, if they don't admit it, the emperor won't cover it.
"I waited for the wrong ......!"
The few people who seconded the impeachment just now also bowed down with fists and apologized to Zhao Yin.
But it didn't matter if they let go, the two old guys from the Imperial Observatory fell directly to the ground.
"Since you also think that what this colt said is right, then you are willing to gamble and lose......!"
Zhao Yin unceremoniously stretched out his hand, "Three thousand yuan per person, resign and return home!" ”
"Huh? This one......! ”
A few people thought that if they apologized and lost some money, Zhao Yin would not continue to investigate.
I didn't expect him to come for real, and I didn't know what to do for a while.
If they really resign and return to their hometowns, they will not give up these glory and wealth, after all, they have worked hard for many years to climb to their current position.
But if you don't resign, there are so many pairs of eyes staring, once Zhao Yin attacks them, it will embarrass them in public, and even His Majesty will not help them.
After several people looked at each other, they turned their eyes to Li Er, hoping that he could say something to stay, so that they could borrow the donkey from the slope and stay logically.
