Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Horseshoe
Early in the morning of the second day, Qin Feng received the horseshoes sent by Wang Dazhuang, Qin Feng came to the stables with the horseshoe, and found a few guards to nail the horseshoe to the soles of his feet. Although the guards were very puzzled by Qin Feng's actions, they still asked Qin Feng to do what he said.
Soon, the horseshoe was nailed to a maroon horse. After reading it, Qin Feng pointed to a guard and said, "Sun Mo, you ride this horse to Chang'an, go to the restaurant to find spring, summer, autumn and winter, and tell the four of them, young master, I want to eat fried chicken, let them make one for young master and bring it back." ”
"Yes, young master!" Although Sun Mo didn't understand, he still received Qin Feng's order, got on the horses that had just set the horseshoe for a few of them, rode out of Qinzhuang, and ran directly towards Chang'an.
Qin Feng listened to the gurgling sound of the horses walking on the road, and knew that the horseshoe was completed.
Qin Feng turned his head to Wang Dazhuang and said, "Wang Dazhuang, you have done a good job, and you will go to the account room to receive the usual reward." ”
"Young Master Xie!" Wang Dazhuang was very happy, this money usually needs to be saved for half a year, but he didn't expect to get the usual reward directly this time.
"Don't be busy rejoicing yet, I still have something for you to do!" Qin Feng said to Wang Dazhuang.
"Young Master, just give orders!" Wang Dazhuang clenched his fists and bowed, and said to Qin Feng.
"I'm going to build a blacksmith shop in the village, specifically to build this horseshoe, you see if there is anyone in the village who is willing to do it, call it over, and be willing to do it for five hundred a month." Qin Feng said to Wang Dazhuang.
"It's young master, I'll go now!" After Wang Dazhuang finished speaking, he hurriedly ran out, and disappeared in an instant.
Qin Feng opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Wang Dazhuang had disappeared and shook his head with a smile. At this time, the housekeeper on the side came over and said to Qin Feng: "Young master, I'm afraid this matter is not appropriate, the young master gives such a high salary, I'm afraid that the entire village will come over." ”
"Uncle Zhong doesn't have to worry, just treat it as a benefit to the banker." Qin Feng smiled and said indifferently, the salary of dozens of times a month is still paid by himself.
"Young master, I didn't mean that, I meant that there are too many people, and we don't have so much iron to build. The control of iron and salt is in the hands of His Majesty, and we can't buy it if we want a lot of it, and it's easy to get into trouble for the master! The housekeeper said to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng thought about it, and forgot about this stubble, iron is now a strategic material, and it is controlled by the court, unlike in the previous life, when you bought tens of thousands of tons, no one cared about you, Qin Zhuang was going to buy a few thousand catties today, I am afraid that it will not be long before Li Shimin directly kills him and asks him what he wants iron for, if he doesn't get it right, it will affect Qin Qiong, this thing is not like grain, and the explanation is not clear. After thinking about it, if you want to make this money, I am afraid that you have to go to Li Shimin, but you can't enter Chang'an City. Find Qin Qiong for this matter, there is no other way, it is too sensitive. After thinking about it, he summoned two guards and said to the guards.
"You two go back to Chang'an and invite my father-in-law to come to Qinzhuang, and tell my father-in-law that I have something important to tell you."
"It's the young master!" The guards were ordered to return to Chang'an.
"Uncle Zhong, when Sun Mo comes back, you ask him to look for me in my courtyard, and I'll go back first." Qin Feng said to Steward Zhong.
"Okay, young master!"
Qin Feng nodded, and walked towards his small courtyard. More than an hour later, Qin Feng, who was copying materials in the hut, heard Sun Mo's voice.
"Young Master, the fried chicken has brought you back!"
Qin Feng put down his pen, got up and went out, Sun Mo stood outside the door carrying a two-layer lunch box, sweating profusely.
"Keep these things for you to eat, what about the horses? In there? Qin Feng asked Sun Mo, Qin Feng was now concerned about the horse with the soles of his feet.
"Young Master Xie, the horse has been brought back to the stable!" Sun Mo replied, let himself run for more than an hour, and the food he brought back was just to reward himself for eating, this young master is really capricious.
After hearing this, Qin Feng walked directly towards the stable, after all, he had heard of this thing in his previous life, and he had not seen it specifically, everything was copied from the Internet, and he had to see it with his own eyes to be sure.
Qin Feng trotted all the way to the stable, and just now Sun Mo had been led by the horseman into the shed and was feeding. Qin Feng stepped forward and said to the horseman: "Lift the horse's legs, I'll take a look!" ”
The groom didn't know what Qin Feng meant, but he did it anyway. Qin Feng looked at the horseshoe, it was successful, it was very good, it didn't fall off, and it didn't wear out. Qin Feng was very happy, and said to the groom: "Feed this horse well, and you will use it later." Qin Feng estimated that Qin Qiong was here, and he would also ride a horse to try it.
The horseman nodded at Qin Feng, Qin Feng turned his head and said to Sun Mo who was following him: "Good job, go to the housekeeper to get the money, the young master is happy, reward you." ”
"Young Master Xie!" Sun Mo hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.
"Don't thank you yet, let me ask you, is there any difference between this horse and usual?" Qin Feng asked Sun Mo.
"It makes no difference!" Sun Mo replied, with a covered head, what difference can this have, not all horses. But for Qin Feng, no difference is the best answer. Happily whistling towards the front hall, I was afraid that Qin Qiong would come over after a while, so I better go directly to the front hall and wait.
Not long after Qin Feng arrived in the front hall, the housekeeper came in and told Qin Feng that Qin Qiong had arrived, so Qin Feng got up and walked towards the door to greet him.
When Qin Feng arrived at the gate of the village, he saw Qin Qiong riding a horse towards Qinzhuang.
"Feng'er, what are you looking for me for?" Qin Qiong didn't get off the horse and asked Qin Feng, who was standing at the gate of the village.
"Greetings to the Father!" Qin Feng bowed and saluted.
"Hurry up!" The guard stepped forward and grabbed the horse, Qin Qiong got off the horse and helped Qin Feng up, pulled Qin Feng and walked towards the village. As he walked, he asked Qin Feng, "What are you looking for your father to come over?" You kid, what's the fuss about? ”
"The child has something to ask his father." Qin Feng took half a step behind Qin Qiong and followed Qin Qiong.
"Say anything!" Qin Qiong said to Qin Feng.
"The child needs some iron to make a horseshoe, and wants to ask his stepfather to help him buy some iron." Qin Feng said to Qin Qiong.
"Horseshoe? What is it? If you need iron, you can ask the housekeeper to buy it! Qin Qiong thought it was a big deal, and suddenly put her mind at ease.
"Horses are used, children don't build cement roads, if horses walk on cement roads for a long time, it will cause the horse's hooves to wear out quickly, and it will not be long before the horse can not run for a long time, and it will seriously make the horse unable to stand. So nailing this horseshoe to the horse's shoe will reduce the wear and tear of the horse's hooves and can make the horse last for a long time. The boy was going to build some of this and sell it to the horses when the concrete road was repaired. Qin Feng kept talking, not caring that Qin Qiong's face was getting more and more shocked.
"What do you say? Can a horse nail the whole thing to keep the horse's hooves from wearing? Qin Qiong heard Qin Feng's words and turned around and grabbed Qin Feng's shoulder.
"Yes, father-in-law, I have already found a horse in the village in the morning and tried to run to Chang'an, but it did not affect the speed of the horse at all, and the horse's paw was not worn." Qin Feng didn't know why Qin Qiong was so shocked, and hurriedly replied.
