"What? Shoe the horses! Li Chengqian exclaimed.

"Nonsense, if you let you walk barefoot, are you panicking, you yourself know how to wear shoes, how can you not know how to put shoes on horses!" Merton said, rolling his eyes.

"Uh-uh!" Li Chengqian was speechless for a moment, this is the reason, but putting shoes on the horse, how awkward to think about it

Li Chengqian never thought that Merton's brain was so big, it was really just like what Merton said, it was very simple, but who would have thought about it, besides, it was to put shoes on the horse, how could the horse run.

"Brother Gao Ming, please look!"

Merton raised the horse's hooves and motioned for Li Chengqian to take a closer look.

Li Chengqian looked at it for a long time, shook his head with a wry smile, and only felt that the horse's hooves were still horses' hooves, and it seemed that he was still in the realm of looking at the mountains as mountains.

Merton was helpless, pointed to the cuticle of the horse's hooves and said: "The hooves of the horseshoe are a piece of dead skin, just like our fingernails, there is no pain, and this layer of hoof nails is the easiest to wear, so if you want to avoid the wear of the hooves, the way is very simple, put shoes on this layer of hoofnails, in this way, the wear is the shoes, if the shoes are worn out, then just change another pair of shoes." ”

"Oh!" Li Chengqian suddenly felt suddenly, curiously touched the hoof armor of the Absolute Shadow, and then looked at the hole that Morton had worn through the wire to treat the Absolute Shadow laceration before, and it was indeed a piece of dead skin.

"But what kind of shoes will fit the horse's hooves?" Li Chengqian felt that his brain hole was really not enough!

"Young master, the things you want are here!"

At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, and the second son of the old Zhang Tou ran panting, and in front of Merton, handed over four semi-circular ironworks of strange shapes.

"So fast?" Merton took it in surprise and rubbed it along the arc of the ironwork, as if admiring a fine work of art.

Li Chengqian leaned over curiously, looked at this strange thing and asked, "This is what you call the horse's shoes?" ”

"It's called a horseshoe! Also called horseshoe! Merton compared the horseshoe to the Shadow Hoof Armor, which was just the right size, and nodded in satisfaction.

Li Chengqian picked up two horseshoes, looked at the horseshoes of the Peerless Shadow, and couldn't figure out how this thing was worn on the horseshoe.

I saw Zhang Yang move over a knee-high wooden stool, put the horse's hooves on it, picked up a knife, and trimmed the hoof armor on the horse's hooves.

After the trimming was completed, he picked up a few long nails and, with the help of Tie'an, easily nailed the horse's shoes to the horse's hooves.

This was repeated three times, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the four hooves of the Shadow were already booked.

"That's it?" Li Chengqian curiously watched as Jueying kicked his four hooves uncomfortably, leaving circles on the ground that were nearly full moon.

"Of course, in this way, if the horseshoe is worn badly, you can directly replace one, these horseshoes are made of the best fine iron of the Mo family, hard and abnormal, can withstand great force and is not deformed, and the horseshoe also has one of the biggest benefits, it can help the horse's hooves better grasp the ground, and avoid slipping mistakes as much as possible."

"Good stuff, really good stuff!" Li Chengqian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised repeatedly.

Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, of course knows the situation of the Tang Dynasty, horses can pull carts, plough the fields and travel roads, the demand for folk horses is huge, and having a cow in the countryside is considered a wealthy family, not to mention horses, and folk horses are considered a luxury ornament.

Datang has countless losses caused by excessive wear and tear of horses every year, ranging from minor injuries to scrapping directly.

But with the horseshoe, every horse is covered with a protective film, and these problems will all be solved, which is a great blessing for the people of Datang to be able to use horses for a long time with confidence.

This is to say that the big one, to the small one, the beloved horse of the East Palace finally does not have to be in the horse for a year and a half, as long as the horseshoe is replaced, his beloved horse will definitely become lively again.

After a period of familiarity, Jeepage gradually got used to what was under his feet.

"Drive!"

Merton rolled over his horse, shouted, and trotted for a while, and once again vigorously crossed the beam, this time with great ease, and landed on the ground steadily, leaving only deep horseshoe imprints under the dirt.

Merton rode the Shadow to trot in Merton's backyard for a while, then let go of the Shadow's reins and let it run in the backyard of the Ink Mansion.

"Herod!"

Jueying has never run since he was injured, and when he got this opportunity, he naturally jumped and ran recklessly, chirping high from time to time, and the demeanor of the former horse king appeared again.

Soon, under Zhang Yang's skillful craftsmanship, all the remaining eighty-odd horses were installed with horseshoes.

Seeing that Merton so easily solved the problem of headache in China for thousands of years, Li Chengqian stared at Merton as if he was looking at a monster, and Merton's heart was furious.

"I wonder how your head grows? Even such an out-of-the-way thing would. I wonder what else in this world can stump you? ”

Merton covered his head in a funny way and looked at Li Chengqian with a wary expression.

"Fuck off, who wants your head!" Li Chengqian scolded angrily, the former prince's cultivation has long since disappeared.

"It's useless if you ask for it, this horseshoe is not something I came up with, it has been around for six hundred years." Merton shook his head in regret and said a powerful piece of news.

"This can't be?" Li Chengqian exclaimed, if it was really six hundred years old, how could he not know that Datang still had so many injured horses every year.

Suddenly, Li Chengqian had a flash of inspiration and said, "Is it a foreigner's thing?" ”

Li Chengqian can know that the ancestor of the Mo family has traveled to many foreign countries outside the Tang Dynasty and experienced many strange things.

Merton nodded and said: "In Mozi's secret writings, in the west of the country of the extreme west, there is a vast ocean of the extreme west, and there is an island country in the ocean of the extreme west that circulates such a ballad.

One nail is missing, one horseshoe is missing,

One horseshoe is missing, one horse is lost,

Lost a horse, lost a battle,

Lost a battle, lost a country.

………………

While! The moment Charles III was guillotined, he never imagined that he would lose a country just because of a small iron nail. ”

"Ahh Li Chengqian's mouth opened wide in shock, he never thought that a horse nail would be equated with the national social system.

"Brother Gao Ming, has he ever drawn anything from this story?" Merton asked.

"Because of a small loss, a thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an anthill," Li Chengqian opened his mouth to make a big sense.

"No, other people's horses have horseshoes, but ours doesn't." Merton was heartbroken.

"Uh-uh!"

Li Chengqian was stunned, the Mo family is the Mo family, and the brain circuit is different from him.
