Chapter 125: Stirrups and Saddles

After eating and drinking, Liu Chen felt that his strength was refilled, and his spirit naturally improved. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Master Pu, Xiao Wang came here today because he has something to ask for, and I hope that the master will not refuse!"

Liu Chen was reluctant to procrastinate, and he could also see that Pu Yuan was a simple and straightforward person, and it was not worth it with those scheming words!

Sure enough, although Pu Yuan had long expected that Liu Chen was coming, he didn't expect Liu Chen's expression to be so solemn, and he immediately became solemn.

"The king has something, but it doesn't hurt to say it, the old man can help, so he naturally won't refuse."

When Liu Chen heard this, he looked at Pu Yuan's inner room, he remembered that the servant who had just delivered the meal was inside, so he was a little hesitant, after all, it was a matter of the rise and fall of the country.

Seeing this, Pu Yuan frowned, and also saw the importance of this, and after thinking for a while, Pu Yuan said:

"Your Majesty, please go with the old man!"

Seeing this, Liu Chen was of course very willing, and hurriedly got up and followed Pu Yuan into a back door and came to a simple cubicle.

Looking at the bed in front of him, as well as the countless drawings placed around him, as well as a few sharp weapons, Liu Chen knew that this was Pu Yuan's bedroom, and hurriedly bowed and said sincerely:

"It's really a big thing, it's related to the revitalization of the Han Dynasty, and now it's rude to offend the master's residence!"

Then seeing that Pu Yuan waved his hand and did not speak, Liu Chen took out a folding drawing from his armor and corset, and slowly spread it out.

What caught my eye was three patterns with rough subdivisions and clear outlines, and Pu Yuan took a closer look and felt that two of them were quite familiar.

"This, isn't this the stirrup and the saddle, forgive the old man for being clumsy, I can't see the subtlety."

Liu Chen had expected that this period was not without saddle stirrups, but it was a unilateral stirrup and a towering saddle that followed the Qin Dynasty.

The unilateral stirrup was intended for soldiers to climb on the back of a tall horse, and could be removed afterwards without a fixed pedaling.

And the towering wooden saddle was stuck on the horse's back, and the soldier could sit on it, and he could also ride and shoot on horseback, but it was not very comfortable.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Chen explained the two improved saddle stirrups, Pu Yuan, who was good at design, knew the subtleties and couldn't help but be excited:

"If this thing is made, it can not only comfort the old cavalry, but also realize the formation of a large-scale cavalry regiment in a short time, which is really a divine weapon!"

Then he looked at Liu Chen with fiery eyes, the meaning was obvious, and Liu Chen could also understand that a person who has specialized in one thing all his life, his persistence and preference for these things are difficult for outsiders to understand.

However, Liu Chen did not immediately promise or refuse, but deliberately drew his attention to the last pattern.

The pattern was only the size of a palm, in the shape of an arc, and on the long blocks on both sides, there were two neat rows of three small round holes, and there were also small iron nails next to them.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what this divine soldier is and what is its use?"

Liu Chen pointed to the pattern and said seriously:

"This little king named it a horseshoe, which is nailed to the horse's paw to fix the soles of his feet, reduce wear and tear, and prevent horses from falling and breaking their legs when running on mountain roads."

Rao is first two things gave Pu Yuan a huge shock, and when he looked at it with a strong look of hope, it was actually such a thing.

"The master has words but it doesn't matter, these are all made up by Xiao Wang in his spare time, and anything wrong can be improved."

Hearing Liu Chen say this, Pu Yuan glanced at Liu Chen in surprise, and then frowned:

"Your Majesty, don't you feel that the iron nail is in the bone, and it is a very painful feeling?"

Indeed, since ancient times, there has been a saying that ten fingers are connected to the heart, and there is also a kind of nailing fingers in the ten tortures, so Pu Yuan has this saying to push himself and the horse.

However, Liu Chen didn't laugh at anything, people in ancient times rarely paid attention to these things, especially at this time of the Three Kingdoms.

Interlaced like a mountain, many people are not familiar with horses, and they don't know that their structure is also normal, Liu Chen knows that explanations are useless, so he rolled his eyes and said:

"That's it, as for Xiao Wang not to defend at this time, the master will build a pair according to this, and we can make a real or false one at that time, but Xiao Wang can make a bet with the master, what do you think?"

Hearing that Liu Chen was going to bet with him, he was moved at first, but thinking of Liu Chen's identity, he hurriedly shook his head, speaking of which, he really didn't dare to do anything to Liu Chen.

"Huh! Don't be busy refusing first, Xiao Wang will reveal Xiao Wang's gambling first, come on, bring it up! ”

I saw Zhuge Jing coming in from outside the door, holding a large porcelain jar in his hand, looking at his expression, he seemed to be very coveted.

"What tastes, so fragrant, isn't it food?"

Liu Chen shook his head, then asked Zhuge Jing to open the jar, take out a small spoonful of cool liquid from it, and pour it into the bamboo cup.

"Master, how about a taste of Xiao Wang's wine?"

Pu Yuan is obviously a person who loves wine, he raised the wine glass and first sniffed it greedily, and then put it in his mouth and smacked it lightly, the intoxicated expression was very pleasant.

Pu Yuan is not like ordinary people, who pour hard when they encounter fine wines, but taste them slowly, looking at the movements and expressions, more like a professional wine taster.

Liu Chen did not have a trace of impatience, accompanied him with a smile throughout the whole process, waited for Pu Yuan to put the cup down, and then looked at the porcelain jar carefully, before turning around and apologizing to Liu Chen:

"Although the old man is not a drunkard, he is also a lover of wine, this wine can be called a fairy wine, and it deserves its name, I don't know where the king bought it, and the old man also hopes to ask for a few cans."

Seeing this, Liu Chen smiled slightly and reminded:

"Master, this is Xiao Wang's bet, it depends on whether you want to try it?"

Hearing this, Pu Yuan thought of the Gaoqiao saddle and the bilateral stirrup again, and guessed that this was from Liu Chen's hand again, although he was a little disappointed, but when he heard this bet, he hurriedly asked:

"This bet is good, I don't know how the king plans to gamble, the old man is not rich, just these few broken iron and broken swords, which one do you see!"

Liu Chen shook his head and said seriously:

"Xiao Wang is also a soldier, and he knows that he loves soldiers more than his parents, so how can he be strong? Xiao Wang has no other meaning, he just hopes that the master can accept a few apprentices, and when the time comes, this wine will be eaten by the master! ”

In this way, Pu Yuan was shocked at first, and then understood that Liu Chen, as the ruling level, naturally hoped that there would be as many masters as possible like Pu Yuan, but Pu Yuan's title of master was the accumulation of his own decades of experience, especially the method of refining steel knives.

After thinking about it for a while, Pu Yuan still agreed, although people at that time attached great importance to the inheritance of technology, and some families were in a single lineage.

But Pu Yuan has been in Shu Han for so many years, and he is very grateful for the care of the Han Dynasty, and he does not want his lifelong experience to fade away with time.

Liu Chen explained the size of the horseshoe and other objects, and said that the disciple was left to the master to choose, which made Pu Yuan very moved and asked Liu Chen to come back in two days.

Pu Yuan personally sent Liu Chen out of the iron shop, but when he reached the end of the iron-striking area, Liu Chen stopped Pu Yuan and prevented him from sending it again.

After all, Pu Yuan is still very valuable in the eyes of the Jin and Wu Kingdoms, and it is difficult to ensure that there are no spies mixed in to try against him.

When I came out of the camp, I found that there was a person waiting anxiously next to him, but he was stopped by the armor soldier, and he knew that he was from the palace when he looked at the obvious costume.

Seeing this, Liu Chen also knew that his father was looking for him, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"Father-in-law Wei, is it my father looking for this king?"

The chamberlain's name is Wei Xing, who is Liu Chan's personal eunuch, Liu Chen has been to the palace a few times, but he also knows him.

When Wei Xing saw Liu Chen, he was immediately overjoyed, and said hurriedly with a male duck's voice:

"His Royal Highness King Qi, Your Majesty has something to do with you, hurry up and take a trip to the slave family!"

Hearing this, looking at the car not far away, Liu Chen frowned, and said apologetically for a long time:

"Father-in-law Wei, offended!"

Then he waved a guard to pull him on his horse and galloped towards the west gate.

Wei Xing didn't get on the horse at first glance, and although he was supported by his own guards, he still kept screaming.

"Yike...... Let the slave come down..."
