Wang Fei drew a horse on the paper with a pen, then drew a U-shape, and then handed the drawing to Ashina Jiang: "This is what I just thought of this morning." Just now, when I went to practice riding and archery, I found that the little red horse, no, found that there were scorched marks on all four hooves of Chi Yanhua. This must have been injured by the hot stone slabs and ground in the fire last night. So I wondered if I could make a tool out of iron to protect the horse's hooves, which would not only prevent burns, but also prevent the horse's hooves from being damaged by hard objects such as small stones. I just don't know if it's feasible, so please help me think about it. ”

Ashina Xiaoyun came to his younger brother's side and looked at the picture drawn by Wang Fei.

It's okay not to look at it, but after reading it, Ashina Xiaoyun couldn't help laughing: "Brother Fei, your horse painting is really not very good!" ”

After Ashina Wenxia heard the word "Chiyanhua", her mood seemed to be a little better, and she also leaned over to glance at it, and then said four words coldly: "It's stupid!" It's ugly! ”

Hearing this, Aitenggna also glanced over, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. It's just that I don't know if it's Xiao Langjun's stupid hands or stupid heart that is laughing.

Wang Fei scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm really not good at this Danqing way!" ”

"Little lady Yiyue, give me pen and paper too." Ashina Xiaoyun splashed ink on the paper, and soon sketched a lifelike horse. Then he drew a beautiful U-shaped metal object next to the horse.

"That's what you mean, right?" Ashina Xiaoyun handed the painting to Wang Fei, who couldn't help but nod his head in praise after seeing it.

"How does this metal ring fit to the horse's hooves?" When everyone mocked Wang Fei's painters, Ashina Ang was unmoved by the hustle and bustle, still immersed in technical problems.

"With nails!" Wang Fei replied without hesitation, he grabbed the brush and dotted a few black dots on the U-shape drawn by Ashina Xiaoyun: "Leave some holes here, and then hammer nails through the holes to fix the shoes." ”

The sharp feeling generated by the word "nail" made Ashina Xiaoyun's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but exclaim, it's too cruel to nail a horse's hooves with a nail!

Ashina Wenxia bowed her head and was silent, thoughtful.

Aitengna and Xiao Langjun share weal and woe, and know that he has all kinds of strange insights and ideas hidden in his head, so he is convinced of the farrier matter.

"I think it's okay, but it's better to look for Zhao Dazhui to see!" Ashina Jiang thought for a long time before expressing his opinion.

"There's a thick layer on the horse's hooves, um, something like our fingernails, there's nothing in it, um, it's not connected to the flesh, so it doesn't hurt when you nail it in." Wang Fei spent a long time and reluctantly explained.

Ashina Xiaoyun raised her eyebrows slightly, she felt that Wang Fei's explanation seemed to be specially said to her.

When she was hesitating whether to respond, Wang Fei's surprised voice came from the courtyard: "Yun'er, when did you come over?!" ”

"Scarlet, I followed my mother's instructions and made a special trip to thank Brother Fei!" After hearing Wang Fei's footsteps, Ashina Xiaoyun was overjoyed.

Before Wang Fei walked into the inner hall, she ran out first.

Looking at Ashina's cheerful back, Wang Fei sighed slightly in his heart. She has always regarded herself as a younger brother, and after the fire, she has only been promoted from "best friend's brother" to "kind and lovely brother", which is far from her inner expectations, it is really a long way to go!

Ashina Ji Ang was completely immersed in the creativity of the horseshoe, and he didn't know anything about the emotional fluctuations of the rest of the people, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly said: "Brother Fei, I think it's better to set off now to find Zhao Da Hammer and ask him if it's feasible." ”

"Do you know where he lives? Is it convenient for him on the sixteenth day of the first month? Wang Fei thought about it, since Mrs. Pei and other nobles went to Xida Temple to pray for blessings, then they could be more comfortable in the morning, and they were idle, so it was better to visit Zhao Dazhui and learn about the smelting technology of the Tang Dynasty.

"Maybe he doesn't know anything else, but he knows best about Zhao Dazhui." Before Ashina Jiang could answer, Ashina Wenxia had already rushed to say the answer: "Why don't we go together, take our family's carriage, stop at the side door now, and no one will restrain us in the morning." ”

"Yes, yes!" Ashina Xiaoyun, who was holding Wang Fei's arm, was even happier when she heard that she was going out: "Fei'er will go too, anyway, Mrs. Pei will not be there in the morning, and no one will take care of you with "Women's Rules"!" ”

Wang Fei thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since everyone is so interested, I naturally sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman." However, Brother Fei, you have to give an explanation to the king, don't let him hang up. At the same time, we have to bring more domestic servants and guards, because last night there was a sudden fire, and I am afraid that the city is a little unstable. ”

Ashina Xiaoyun shook Wang Fei's arm and said excitedly: "Every time, you think about it thoroughly. Brother Fei, hurry up and do what your sister tells you to do! ”

The three "sisters" are all willing to go, and Wang Fei is even more willing. He hung the dagger sent by Ashina Wenxia on his belt, and then immediately ran to the front office to ask Wang Yong, who was recuperating from his injuries.

When she saw Wang Fei bring the dagger with her, a sweet smile appeared in the corner of Ashina Wenxia's eyes.

Wang Yong did not object to this trip, but he inevitably repeatedly explained that he should pay attention to safety, and personally ordered ten tooth soldiers to be responsible for escorting.

When boys and girls are ready to go out and play, they are always very efficient. In just a moment, Wang Fei was already riding on Chiyanhua, parallel to Ashina Ji Anglian, who was riding a fruit dismount.

Behind the two horses were two carriages chattering and laughing.

Ashina Xiaoyun did not insist on riding a horse this time, but rode in a carriage with Wang Fei, Wenxia, and Ayi Tenggena, and the four of them were talking and laughing in the car, and they were so happy.

Juxiang, Meixiang, Liuli, Agate, Cersei, Coral and other little maids all sat in another carriage, and they were very familiar with each other, and they had endless words to say when they got together. Around the carriage, there were heavy guards.

"Brother Ang, why is this Zhao Dazhui's name so weird?" After Wang Fei discovered Ashina Jiang's specialty, he paid more attention to this little friend.

In fact, he is a scholar, his real name is Zhao Dahui. It is said that he also studied for a few days in the state school. But he is a martial artist, not like a scholar, and he doesn't like to read scriptures and history, and he has been obsessed with striking iron since he was a child. His father was so angry that he beat him several times and repeatedly forced him to go to school, but he only managed to cope and did not care. Later, after his father died, he simply stopped studying, and relied on dozens of acres of thin fields at home to guard his mother. On weekdays, he didn't do anything, just wielded a sledgehammer to figure out how to smelt and manufacture, so everyone gave him the nickname 'Zhao Da Hammer'. ”

Speaking of Zhao Dazhui, Ashina Jiang, who has always been wooden, immediately opened the chatterbox, like a long river rushing, out of control.

"I see!" After hearing this, Wang Fei thought for a while, if what Ashina Ji Ang said was true, people like Zhao Dazhui should be really intoxicated with technology.

In the history of Chinese civilization, there has never been a shortage of professionals who are obsessed with a certain technical field. The rest that is not recorded in the history books can be said to be the number of sand in the Ganges, which is difficult to fight.

However, with the increasingly rigid content of the imperial examination system and the selection criteria, the technical talents who play a vital role in promoting social progress have been increasingly craftsman and marginalized, and the innovation ability of the entire Chinese civilization has been greatly hit and suppressed, and finally led to the complete backwardness of the Chinese civilization, which has led the world trend for more than 1,000 years, and has been wantonly ravaged by strong ships and cannons from the West.

"If Zhao Dazhui is really as obsessed with the art of smelting as Ji Ang said, he must be allowed to play a greater role, and he can't be unknown and drowned in this Tingzhou City!" After Wang Fei made up his mind in his heart, he suddenly felt a feeling of both ease and heaviness.

The ease is that you may have a competent assistant at the technical level that you are not good at; The heaviness lies in the fact that the inertia of the development of Chinese civilization still despises technology and rationality, and it must take great effort to reverse it.

In less than half an hour, Wang Fei and his entourage arrived at a neighborhood near Nanshi. As they passed through the ruins of the fire, the group of young men and women who had been cheering just now were silent, and everyone was silent and frightened when they remembered the madness and tribulation they had experienced last night.

"Here it is." Ashina's cute voice broke the silence.

Wang Fei looked up and saw a slightly dilapidated mansion, with a tinkling sound constantly coming out.

When a tooth soldier was about to come forward and knock on the door, he was stopped by Ashina Jiang. He dismounted from the horse and rolled down, and after tidying up his robe, he personally stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Master Zhao, are you at home?" ”

Wang Fei couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw the always dull Ashina Ji Ang so solemn, but he thought about it in his heart: "If Ji Ang grows up freely according to his nature, he should also be an excellent technical talent in the future, his character is completely a science and engineering man who came out of "The Big Bang Theory"!" ”

After Ashina Jiang knocked on the door for a long time, he heard a squeak, and an old servant opened the courtyard door.

The old servant was obviously very familiar with Ashina Jiang, and bowed his hand and said, "Xiao Langjun is here again?" After saluting, the old servant found that Ashina Ji was standing behind a group of people, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Wang Fei hurriedly went up and saluted and said, "We are all friends of Ji Ang, and we have come to ask Master Zhao for something. ”

The old servant hesitantly glanced at the gorgeously dressed young men and girls and the mighty and upright Beiting Ya soldiers, and said to himself, "How can you have something to find Ah Lang?!" ”

Although the old servant was a little puzzled, everyone could see that he trusted Ashina Ji Ang very much. After a moment of doubt, he still led everyone towards the courtyard.
