In these years, if you have a horse at home, it is equivalent to a family with a car.

Wei Renshi went over early in the morning to feed the horses.

Feed early, ride early.

Riding a horse is the dream of every man's heart!

"Eat, eat more!" Wei Renshi kept communicating with the horse while feeding it: "When we get here, we are a family, so you don't need to be polite." ”

Xi'er watched in horror at her own Langjun standing on the Hu Bench and chatting with the horse, and the basin in her hand was about to be unable to hold it.

Especially thinking that his own Lang Jun still has the ability to kill ghosts, could it be that this horse is a monster, so he can talk to Lang Jun?

Over there, Wei Renshi continued to speak to the horse: "Since you're here, you have to have a name, I can't always call you horses, can I?" What do you think of Jedi, Feather, Night, Shadow, Radiance, Chaoguang, Tengwu, Wings, Hualiu, Green Ears, Thief, Qiji, Fiber, Thunderhead...... Which of these names do you prefer? You don't think these names are grounded, right? I think so too! In my opinion, it's better to call it a hoof! Down-to-earth and with a touch of wildness! Hahaha, it seems that you like this name too, so it's decided! ”

After naming the horse, Wei Renshi got down from the Hu Yan, clapped his hands, and said goodbye to it: "Kick the hooves, you eat well, drink water well, lick salt well!" ”

When Wei Renshi took Xi'er back to the front yard, Xi'er handed him the basin and asked, "It's just a horse, why is Lang Jun so happy?" ”

"You don't understand, that's a man's obsession with cars." Wei Renshi rubbed Xi'er's hair and laughed.

"I don't understand." Xi'er shook her head and said, "Lang Jun, breakfast is ready!" ”

"Okay, eat!" Wei Renshi washed his face, had breakfast, and prepared to go to the construction site where the house was built.

was just about to go out, but at the door, he saw Sun Laohan who was coming this way.

Waiting for Sun Laohan to arrive at the door, he saw that he was holding a letter in his hand, and without waiting for Wei Renshi to ask, Sun Laohan handed over the letter and said, "Shaolangjun, Sun Peng brought back the letter from the horse team that pulled the wine. Originally, the horse team arrived in Fuchang yesterday, but it was late at that time, and the city gate had been locked. The horse team spent the night outside Fuchang City and only arrived at the winery this morning. ”

Wei Renshi opened the envelope in front of Sun Laohan and took out the letter inside.

The handwriting on it was crooked, and there were several typos in it.

However, the content is also clear, it is to report to Wei Renshi about the recent operation of Yimenglou, what happened, and at the end mentioned that the owner of the ninth floor and one pavilion in Luoyang City wants to invite Wei Renshi to a party.

The ninth floor and one pavilion are the ten largest restaurants and restaurants in Luoyang City.

Originally, the nine giants of this industry wanted to invite new entrants to gather. I'm afraid this is a feast.

Wei Renshi put away the letter and asked, "Sun Aweng, when will the horse team carrying wine leave for Luoyang?" ”

"Early the day after tomorrow." Sun Aweng replied.

Wei Renshi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take advantage of it early the next morning to go to Luoyang with them." ”

After going to Luoyang, Wei Renshi happened to have two days to prepare.

Calling Boss Shi, the carriage was pulled out, and Wei Renshi took the carriage to Fuchang City for the first time.

It's just that...... This carriage is too bumpy! Wei Renshi felt like his ass was about to crack.

When I arrived in Fuchang City, I told Wang Laohan first, and asked Wang Xiaosui to prepare to leave for Luoyang early the day after tomorrow. Then he went to the blacksmith's workshop, placed a new order, and had to go to the earthen kiln to set up a few more internal stoves, and to make a few more sets of coal stove samples.

The matter in Fuchang City is now over.

Don't stay long, go home.

On the way, Boss Shi drove the carriage, and Wei Ren really felt that the buttocks in the carriage hurt, so he also sat in the front, which would be slightly better.

"Uncle Shi, I'm going to Luoyang the day after tomorrow, you can go with me." Wei Renshi said to Boss Shi.

"Yes." Boss Shi nodded and asked again, "I will go to Luoyang the day after tomorrow...... Then you have to cut the horse's hooves when you go back. This horse has just returned from Weinan, the road is not close, and the horse's hooves must be grinding. ”

When Wei Renshi heard him say this, he subconsciously glanced over the horse's hooves.

At this glance, I found that there was no horseshoe on the horse's hooves.

"Don't you need to nail horseshoes to horses' hooves?" Wei Renshi asked.

"Horseshoe?" Boss Shi was a little puzzled and said, "I don't know what it is." ”

Wei Renshi was stunned, wouldn't it, there is no horseshoe yet? Horseshoe remembers that it appeared very early.

"It's something that is nailed to the horse's hooves to prevent it from grinding the horse's hooves." Wei Renshi pointed to the horse's hooves and said.

Boss Shi thought for a long time and said, "Isn't what Xiao Lang said woody?" ”

Wei Renshi was stunned again: "Mu astringent, what is it?" ”

Boss Shi explained while gesturing: "It's similar to clogs, except that it's put on top of a horse's hooves. After putting it on, it is wrapped with a layer of yak skin, which is used to walk the Gobi, so that it can grind the horse's hooves so much. If the Uighurs crossed the Gobi, they would wrap the horses' hooves in this way. However, the horse can't run fast after being wrapped in wood, so it has to be taken as soon as it passes the Gobi. ”

Wei Renshi then remembered that although the horseshoe appeared very early in history, it seemed to appear in the West.

And in China, it seems that at the beginning, it was the nomads of the north who took the lead, probably ...... Five Generations Period! The Ganzhou Uighurs during the Five Dynasties had mastered the technique of nailing horseshoes, and in the Central Plains, it was not widely used until the Yuan Dynasty.

In this way, at present, Datang does not have the technology to nail the horseshoe?

Moreover, listening to Boss Shi's words, it seems that the Uighurs also began to use wood-wrapped yak skins to make wood astringent, instead of using iron to make horseshoes and nail them to the horseshoe.

It is self-evident how important a horseshoe is to horses.

And what do horses mean to a country dominated by cavalry?

Good boy! Looks like you've made a great discovery!

Wei Renshi swallowed his saliva and said to Boss Shi, "Uncle Shi, let's turn back...... No, don't turn back yet. ”

The benefits of a horseshoe are obvious, and it's not difficult to make. If you rashly let the blacksmith hammer it out and nail it to the horse, it will be immediately discovered, and others will immediately follow suit.

It's like a folding fan.

These things are actually simple, but they just lack that one "thought". If you don't think about it, you can't make this thing. But once you can think about it, there is no technical content in imitation.

If this thing is used to dedicate to the court and used in the army, it must be a great merit.

But if it spreads among the people first, and then into the eyes and ears of the imperial court, it will be different.

The credit will inevitably be greatly reduced, and even the imperial court will not investigate where this thing came from or who made it.

You probably won't get anything.

Fortunately, the horseshoe was only mastered by the northern nomads during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in the original history, and it was not widely used in the Central Plains until the Yuan Dynasty. In other words, as long as you don't get the horseshoe out of the world first, no one will make it on your own for the time being.

This opportunity must be seized.
