Before leaving, Liu Mingzhi arranged for Master Wang to gather all the craftsmen in Yangzhou City as much as possible to wait.

As long as I went to Liujia Horse Farm this time to test and successfully determined that the horseshoe can accurately protect the horse's hooves in the horse farm, you can place a large number of orders.

Horseshoes are important protective objects nailed to the hooves of horses, cattle and other livestock. The horse's hooves are made up of two layers, the one that touches the ground is a layer of hard keratin about 2-3 cm thick, and the upper layer is a living keratin.

The horse's hooves are in contact with the ground, and they will fall off quickly due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of the water. The use of horseshoes not only protects the horse's hooves, but also makes the horse's hooves grip the ground more firmly, which is beneficial for both riding and driving.

As for whether the horseshoe was invented by Orientals or Westerners, I don't know, anyway, what appears in Liu Mingzhi's hands now is Liu Mingzhi's invention.

If you are not convinced, if you are not convinced, you will also invent one, Liu Mingzhi's idea is very shameless.

Hurried back to the horse farm, Ma Biao had already begun to take care of the horses' forage in the horse farm, and a large number of servants began to ride horses and drive the horses through the pasture.

Ma Biao saw that Liu Mingzhi and the three of them had arrived, and explained a few words to his subordinates and walked over: "Young master, what are you preparing for Dingxi?" Now I can open my eyes to the old horse. ”

Ma Biao was puzzled by the mess ordered by Liu Mingzhi yesterday, and he wanted to see what this young master Liu had done, and said that he could greatly increase the number of horses in the horse farm.

Ma Biao couldn't sleep well this night, and he yawned again and again when he was in the racecourse, which made the people in the racecourse think that Liu Mingzhi had done something angry and resentful to his master.

Liu Mingzhi must have jumped up and scolded when he knew it, what can he do to him as a bad old man, do you think too much.

Took out four horseshoes from Huzi's hand and handed them to Ma Biao: "See, this is what I've been busy with." ”

Holding the four pieces of iron in his hand, Ma Biao was confused, he didn't have more than a thousand years of knowledge, and he couldn't figure out that this piece of iron could increase the service life of a good horse from two years to about five to ten years.

Ma Biao held back the anger in his heart, more than a thousand good horses in the horse farm were smashed in his hands, he didn't eat or drink well, this young master still had time to ponder a few pieces of iron: "Young master, what is this for?" ”

I faintly noticed that the tone of the old man's right-hand man was not quite right, and Liu Mingzhi was not easy to rub in, and it would be troublesome if there was a gap in his life.

Let Ma Biao find a few horse masters and a craftsman from the horse farm, and Liu Mingzhi instructed them step by step how to nail the horse's shoe to the horse's hooves.

Using a knife to cut off the worn horns on the horse's hooves, the horse, although it was a little unusual, was quite stable under the comfort of several horse masters, and it took a lot of effort to finally get all four horseshoes done.

Ma Biao Qiyun and a few horse masters circled around this horse with a horse's shoe, what's the difference, isn't it just nailed to four pieces of iron?

"Young Master? This? ”

"Brother Liu? This? ”

Looking at a few horse masters, Liu Mingzhi asked, "Which of you masters has the most skillful riding skills?" ”

A rough man walked out: "Young master, Ma San has been in the Liujia Horse Farm for seven years, and there is no one who can compare to him in the entire horse farm in terms of horse riding." ”

"Oh? Who is Ma San? ”

"Young master, the youngest is Ma San." A short, lean man walked out with a nervous face, looking at Liu Mingzhi who couldn't let go of the shelf.

"Master Ma, don't be nervous, you use your best riding skills to train this horse well, and go wherever the rocky beach by the river is not suitable for horses to run, and practice hard."

Ma San swallowed his saliva and looked at Ma Biao nervously: "Master? Obviously, he didn't believe Liu Mingzhi's words either, in case he listened to his words and abolished the training of this good horse, not to mention whether he could afford it. The most important thing is that Ma San likes horses and understands horses, otherwise he would not have stayed in the horse farm for seven years.

Ma Biao didn't want to save Liu Mingzhi's face on the spot, so he had to wave his hand helplessly: "Listen to the young master, go." ”

However, he had already put the death penalty on this good horse in his heart, and he had no hope, and he suddenly realized that listening to Liu Mingzhi's words was a mistake at all.

Ma Sanmu nodded, gently stroked the horse's head, and then turned over the horse and clamped the horse's belly, and the good horse flew out like an arrow from the string, running like the wind.

The horse was muscular and galloped all the way through the rocky beach by the river in the middle of the racecourse without the slightest mistake, as if the rocky beach were an open flat land.

Ma Biao opened his mouth and looked at Ma San who was galloping wildly on horseback, in the past, the horse would definitely step on sharp stones and slow down, but now the horse seemed to have inexhaustible strength, riveting and running around the horse farm.

In a few moments, Ma San rode back to the front of everyone, and because Ma San suddenly pulled the reins, the good horse raised his front hooves high and let out a sigh.

A horse master can distinguish the joys and sorrows of the horse from the horse's chirping, and Ma San can feel the comfortable chirping of the horse under the crotch, and its voice will not deceive.

Ma San didn't have time to salute Liu Mingzhi, and after getting off the horse, he couldn't wait to lie on the ground and lift the horse's hooves to see it, without any damage, and the horse's hooves were not damaged at all under that kind of high-intensity running.

There is only one possibility, these four pieces of iron completely protect the horse's hooves from harm.

Ma San looked at Liu Mingzhi excitedly: "Less.... The horse's hooves are fine. ”

Liu Mingzhi also breathed a sigh of relief, he just roughly remembered the appearance of the horseshoe, and now that it has been proved that it can indeed be unhindered, he is relieved.

Ma Biao was also blinded after looking at the horseshoe, four pieces of iron can make a horse intact, is this a myth?

No, it's science.

"Young master, this piece of iron is a horseshoe?"

"Uncle Ma, people need to wear shoes to prevent sharp objects from hurting their feet, and horses also need to wear shoes to prevent their feet from sticking, this is the same reason, these four horseshoes are like putting shoes on the horse, so he can step on the stone and be intact."

Ma Biao muttered in frustration: "Why can't anyone think of such a simple truth?" People need shoes, horses need shoes, why doesn't anyone think about it? ”

The rough horse master was obviously not able to bear it either, and rode out on horseback.

"Uncle Ma."

"Young Master? You commanded. Ma Biao has unconsciously brought honorifics, not respect for identity, but a kind of recognition.

"I have already instructed the shopkeeper in Yangzhou City to build two thousand sets of horseshoes, and when the time comes, you need to negotiate with him for a price, which can be less."

"The old horse knows, I don't know how long this horseshoe lasts?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on what road you take, you must wear out quickly when you run around the rocky beach every day, and the horseshoe needs to be replaced like a weapon, so you can check it regularly."

"Yes, the old horse knows!"

"Also, although the horseshoe can protect the horse's hooves, it is not unbridled protection, and some urgent measures must not be sloppy."
