It is also very time-consuming and laborious for more than 200,000 war horses and horses in the capital to play horseshoe, and if the organization is not good, there must be problems. But the actions of Mr. Ren Bu, the privy deputy envoy appointed to take charge of this matter, really surprised Li Buqi.

Mr. Ren Bu did not show up at the scene at all, and only sent a fifty-year-old Ling Shi from the stable to preside over the matter, and the petty official just threw about 200 craftsmen and grooms to Li Buqi, and then asked the third government to immediately pull the horses over in batches to beat the horseshoe, and stipulated that a thousand horses must be given a horse's shoes every day. A thousand horses is 4,000 horseshoes, and isn't it a joke to let a bunch of raw hands get 4,000 horseshoes a day?

"This official, so many craftsmen and groom boys can't teach for a while, it's better to take your time, the kid first brings out a few skilled hands, and then let them teach a few apprentices each, and so on, I think everyone will learn in a month. How about a large number of horseshoes at that time? Li Buqi said respectfully to the eight-rank petty official.

That made Shi not even look at Li Buqi: "Although this horseshoe is small, it is related to military affairs, who has the patience to wait for a month?" Don't think that you can sacrifice this method of nailing the horseshoe, the official saw that it was just an iron bar bent and nailed with a few nails. You talk to them about such a simple thing, and if they don't know how to do it, they will naturally punish them. There are so many things to do, do you have to worry about this little thing? ”

Li Buqi was also speechless, and he had not encountered such a leader before he crossed over. These leaders never do their own work, and they don't know the troubles of the specific work, so in their eyes, any job is very simple. They thought that as long as he gave orders, the people below should be able to do everything well, and if they didn't do well, it must be the problem of the front-line staff, and they couldn't do anything at all.

Of course, there are some people who may not be aware of the troubles of specific work, but if you don't say these jobs simply, you can't show his high level, or if your front-line work is important, you can't show the importance of leadership work, so it's always simple to work on the front line in their mouths.

It is estimated that this Ling Shi really doesn't know how to do it. Li Buqi had to patiently explain: "Official, the hoof armor of this horse is actually only a thin layer, if the nail grows and pierces the flesh, or the nail nails are crooked and cracks the hoof armor, then the horse may be useless." Therefore, they must be allowed to learn the craft before they can give horseshoe hooves. ”

Ling Shi slowly combed his unmessed gray beard with his hands: "Isn't it just to be careful." Whoever breaks the horse will make them pay for it, and see if they dare to be careful. Don't be verbose, this official still has a lot of official business. ”

Li Buqi is also drunk - how did he meet such a figure who is used to being a leader? Looking at the way Shi squinted his eyes impatiently, Li Buqi had no choice but to scare the little official: "Official, the kid is also thinking about the official." I am short of horses in the Great Song Dynasty, if there are too many broken horses, even if I can make up the money, there is nowhere to buy a horse, if the officials are held accountable, I am afraid that the officials will be disadvantaged. ”

This ordered Shi to react quickly, and glared: "You dare to threaten this official?" ”

Li Buqi even said "don't dare", but his eyes looked at Na Lingshi without fear: "The kid is just thinking about the officials." ”

Joke, I don't give up and I don't belong to you, and there is a Duanming Hall scholar on it, so what if I threaten you?

Ling Shi probably didn't expect Li Buqi to be so tough, and finally had to agree to Li Buqi's method, but he demanded that all the registered military horses must be put on the horse's feet in a month and a half, otherwise Li Buqi would be punished for the crime of deliberately delaying. This is deliberately wearing small shoes, but Li is not afraid if he doesn't give up, what are we afraid of?

That said, it's better to get the job done quickly. The thief took a bite into the wood, Emperor Zhao Zhen is a rich second generation who grew up in the deep palace, and he doesn't understand anything, if someone really says bad things about Li Buqi in this matter, it will take a lot of words to explain. Therefore, in addition to letting a few people who learned to play horseshoe with him at the beginning, Li Buqi also personally brought a few people to help him, in addition, he also carefully organized craftsmen, some people specialized in cutting materials, some specialized in making iron bars, and some specialized in making iron nails, just hoping to do the work faster.

It's just that soon Li Buqi found that he was too worried, and the actual number of military horses was not that much at all! There are 200,000 or 300,000 military horses registered in the forbidden army in the capital, but less than half of them are actually pulled to beat the horseshoe, and some of them are so old that they can't walk anymore, and they just occupy a place in the account books, and there is no value of nailing the horseshoe at all.

The officers gave a variety of reasons for the lack of horses, most of them either on business trips or on rotation to the shepherds. This is still good, I finally found a reason, and some of them found Li Buqi directly through the Gao family, the Shi family, and the Pan family, just one sentence - those horses don't exist at all, and no one will care as long as Li Buqi doesn't make a noise.

Li Buqi found that no one really cared. The craftsmen and grooms were happy to spend their time and overdo their daily tasks; The stewards received bribes from the officers, and there was bound to be a lot of iron left to make the horseshoes, and it would fall into their pockets; The officials were glad to see that a major event registered with the emperor was completed ahead of schedule, and this was a great achievement, and the performance appraisal must be excellent, and no one bothered him yet. It's a joy for everyone.

How can a company with such a serious problem not go out of business, and how can such a country not perish? But Li Buqi is not a real workplace novice, and he knows that if the truth is revealed in this case, it will be the enemy of the whole people, and it is strange if he does not take off a layer of skin.

Therefore, he immediately stated that I am a worker, and I will nail as many horseshoes as I come, and as for the counting, it is the duty of the Privy Council, and I should not be found, so there is no need to give me a bribe.

Li does not give up and is idle, every day when he arrives at the workshop, he drinks the tea of the little officials and recites the book for a while, when he is tired, he turns around to check the quality of everyone's work, and in the afternoon he talks with a group of small officials, and goes home early in the afternoon to eat, and I don't know how many horseshoes he plays every day.

At this time, in addition to Ling Shi's confrontation with Li Buqi, he was still angry, and from time to time he raised his nose and raised his eyes, and everyone up and down said that Li Buqi was a good young man, but he was a little timid. The nobles were also very satisfied with Li Buqi, and they did not hide the reason for the lack of military horses, telling him that it was just an empty salary, which was an open secret, and that the bribe would not be taken in vain.

How do they know what Li Bu is thinking? If Li Buqi didn't want to be an official, he would have taken the money, but now that Li Buqi has the opportunity to get close to the emperor, he must become an official and must change the Great Song Dynasty. This is something that should be done even if it's just for the parents before the time crossing.

In the future, these bad things as officials may be turned over and used as a handle to attack. This kind of afterlife has seen a lot, and Li Buqi is naturally cautious.

What's special is a big dye vat underneath, and after mixing in it for a long time, you have to leave a handle, and even make people fabricate the handle. Li Buqi understood why most of the prime ministers in the middle and late Song and Ming dynasties had no low-level work experience. Only if you float on it can you be clean, so if you want not to be rectified by Han Qi and his group in the future, you can't leave too many handles, so it's better to get a position next to the emperor quickly. But what does Zhao Zhen need now?
