Chapter 161: Putting Shoes on the Horse (Part 2)
Li Chengqian suddenly remembered something, so he asked again: "How much money is the household department going to spend to solve this problem?" ”
This time, don't use your own money to fill this gap, the so-called clear distinction between public and private, for a country, this is healthy. Otherwise, no matter how much money you use to make up for it, you won't be able to make up for it.
Cheng Yanjin said: "Your Majesty has made up your mind, as long as it can be solved, no matter how much money it is!" ”
Even if the treasury doesn't have much money, a hard squeeze has to be squeezed out a little.
After all, this is a major event involving governance, and if you are not careful, you may not be able to protect the country.
Compared with the country, money or something is naturally nothing.
Since the emperor has said so, there is nothing to say.
"Okay, Wu Guogong, I'll bother you to prepare the things you need to use for striking iron!"
"Yes!"
……
Soon, Wei Chi Jingde prepared the set of blacksmith's tools.
And on the side is red-hot molten iron.
He saw Li Chengqian inside, holding a pen and paper, and Cheng Yanjin was beside him, and he was grabbing the horse hard.
Li Tai and the others tore their throats and shouted and cheered for Cheng Biting Jin.
"Uncle Cheng, come on!"
"Uncle Cheng is amazing!"
"Don't let the horses run!"
……
Such a scene is a little weird, why pull the horse's legs? Nobody knows.
Li Chengqian shouted:
"Uncle Cheng, you pull the horse! I'll measure it again! ”
After all, Cheng Yanjin is almost forty years old, and his strength must not be as good as before.
And in front of him was a fiery horse.
"This horse is so violent, I can't hold it back! Wait, Your Highness the Prince! ”
When Cheng Biting Jin used all his strength, the horse seemed to be more violent than expected.
Suddenly, a majestic figure appeared behind him.
When he reacted, he saw that Xue Rengui was already by his side.
I saw Xue Rengui pull up the horse and pull the horse up directly. The horse couldn't move, so he could only watch Li Chengqian draw on its hooves.
Cheng Yanjin: ......
Cheng Biting Jin was really embarrassed, and he was robbed of the limelight by a little baby.
Xue Rengui said generously: "Lu Guogong, just leave it to me here!" ”
This made Cheng Yanjin very faceless, and he secretly competed, and he didn't hand over the other two horses.
just dragged it stiffly, so that Li Chengqian on the side shook his head.
But why did you suffer so much when you hurt the horses......
After a while, Li Chengqian also finished painting.
"Alright, let's put it down!"
Cheng Yanjin waited for Xue Rengui to let go, and then he let go.
This old guy really doesn't accept the old, facing Xue Rengui, who is as strong as a cow, he doesn't admit defeat at all, the last time is not over, and the two have never found a chance to compete.
This time it is a secret competition, but the current situation is special, and it is impossible for them to compete, after all, the enemy is currently in power, and it is still necessary to leave some strength to fight the enemy.
Eyes returned to Li Chengqian, and everyone was very puzzled.
It's measuring again, and it's about striking iron, what is he Li Chengqian going to do!
The five princes didn't know what Li Chengqian had done in the face of everything. They don't understand that they are willing, even if they bite the gold, they can't understand it, which is a bit unreasonable.
In the end, Cheng Yanjin finally couldn't help it.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, can you tell us what you are going to do? Now we are like fools, walking around, not knowing why. ”
Li Chengqian almost laughed out loud, because Cheng Yanjin's description was very appropriate.
"Okay, okay, I'll ask you a question, and you'll know!"
Yu Chi Jingde also came over and asked, "What's the problem?" ”
"Why don't you walk barefoot?"
The princes replied, "It hurts to walk barefoot and ...... feet."
This was their first reaction.
But Cheng Yanjin and the others were still stunned when they heard it, and they didn't know why.
Li Chengqian said: "Even the imperial brothers know that walking barefoot will hurt their feet, so the key to the problem is here!" ”
He said it so clearly, but everyone still didn't understand.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "You all know that people have to wear shoes when walking, otherwise their feet will be worn out, so why not put shoes on horses?" Then the hooves of the horses will not be grinded! ”
Wei Chi Jingde exclaimed: "This is the method of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
Cheng Yanjin also said: "Shoe the horses? This seems to be very difficult! Where can I find good shoes for my horse? ”
Judging from their expressions, they were not very satisfied with Li Chengqian's approach.
How do you wear shoes on this horse? What is the prince thinking all day long?
Cheng Yanjin sighed and said, "Hey, it seems that this problem can't be solved!" ”
He was a little bit of a give-up.
"What? You don't believe me? ”
Li Chengqian is the way.
The expressions of the two were awkward.
It is difficult to convince the two of them by talking alone, and they must rely on facts to speak.
So he took out the drawings and said to Wei Chi Jingde: "Wu Guogong, I have to ask you to make four pieces of iron according to this drawing." No burrs, be very smooth! ”
When Wei Chi Jingde looked at it, it turned out that the picture was painted with something similar to a horse's hoof.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's okay to hit this thing, but is your method really useful? If it's useless, I'm afraid it's misleading the country and the people! ”
Wei Chi Jingde is right, don't really be useless, waste time, and waste the life of a sergeant, that's really a sin.
"This is the horseshoe, when I'm done, you can try again to see if it works!"
The congregations exclaimed: "Horseshoe? ”
What's that? Is it a horse's shoes? But how to wear it? Whether it will fall off, and all other questions are coiled in everyone's minds.
After research, Li Chengqian knew that Datang did not have a horseshoe at this time, and if this thing was made, it could save Datang a lot of money, and the eternal problem of horsehoe wear and tear would be solved.
At the same time, it is a great thing for the front line.
"Yes! His Royal Highness the Prince, judging from the size of this drawing, it will take at least half an hour or more to be good! ”
Wei Chi Jingde is a young man who is engaged in iron, and it can be said that he is very proficient in his craft, and he is no more than half an hour, which is just right.
"You hit it, call me!"
There are still some hot people here, and Li Chengqian's delicate skin can't stay here for long, so he wants to find a cool place to stay.
So he left here.
"Brother Huang, wait for us!"
The five princes also left with him, like farts worms.
There were only two left, Wei Chi Jingde and Cheng Yanjin.
They stared at the drawings in a daze, and couldn't imagine what this thing could do?
In the end, Cheng Yanjin proposed: "Why don't I let His Majesty come and have a look?" Maybe they can understand the implications? ”
Some things still need to be done in the presence of Li Shimin.
"Lu Guogong, I think it's okay, it's okay for them to come over and have a look."
Wei Chi Jingde agreed.
And Cheng Yanjin went out of the East Palace and went to the Taiji Palace.
