Chapter Ninety-One: Horseshoe
Duan Qiang's actions this time made Duan Zhixuan feel very good, no matter whether he succeeded or not, his son knew that he could use his brains, and with his martial arts, he would not worry about being unproductive.
Duan Qian also noticed that his father had changed to him, and he practiced martial arts and studied harder, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
After the Lantern Festival, we returned to normal together, and the holiday ended.
The eldest grandson Chong packed his things and went directly to Zhuangzi to start his steelmaking journey.
In addition to Duan Qiang, Li Yexu knew that Changsun Chong would not come to school, and the other brothers thought that he had overslept when they saw that Changsun Chong had not come for a long time, and they were secretly worried about the next punishment.
Seeing Duan Qian and Li Yexu, Du He was calm and relaxed, and asked, "Brother Duan, Brother Li, what about the eldest grandson?" ”
"Brother Chong Xian has something important to do, and we don't know what to do. But he'll be back in a few days, and you'll have to ask when the time comes. Duan Qian told the truth, he really didn't know the whereabouts of Changsun Chong.
There are ordinary people here, who are rushing to the eldest grandson, and now that the grandchildren are not coming, they don't want to continue studying, and it seems that they will have to discuss with their families when they go back in the evening.
It turned out that Yang Cuihua still lived in her mother's house, with a big belly, Cheng Chuliang couldn't rest assured, and after the New Year, he secretly ran out to visit his daughter-in-law. This also made Yang Damo's family feel more comfortable, and they should have a door-to-door son-in-law.
Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chumo were on duty for a few days, and they beat the Turks, so now the two brothers' errands are gone, and they have become idlers. Cheng Yanjin doesn't plan to let his two sons go to Yamen, and is ready to go directly to the battlefield this year.
"Brother Chongxian, aren't you going to school, why did you come here?" Cheng Chuliang was fetching water from the well when he saw the eldest grandson rushing into the village and asked loudly.
The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Hehe, it turned out to be the second brother of the Cheng family, you will come to my house later, and our brothers will have two drinks!" "There are some things that you can't just say outside.
Thinking of the bastard thing that Cheng Chuliang did, the eldest grandson Chong was thoughtful, and prepared two children's clothes and a pair of pure gold bracelets and longevity locks, otherwise he really didn't know what to send.
After Cheng Chuliang finished picking up the water, he came upside down, and in his father-in-law's house, he said that he was having a bad time.
"Brother Cheng, this is a meeting gift for my future nephew!" The eldest grandson Chong gave the things to Cheng Chuliang.
Cheng Chuliang took a look, they were all valuable things, plus his father-in-law's family was the owner of the eldest grandson's family, for the sake of the eldest grandson's face, his father-in-law would no longer throw his face to show him.
"Thank you, Brother Chongxian, by the way, you haven't said why you're here?" Cheng Chuliang's two eyes showed a fine light, and the tile was bright.
In the future, if anyone says that the Cheng brothers are stupid, his eldest grandson will be the first to step forward and slap them twice, deceiving people without blinking their eyes.
Since the Chinese New Year, there have been people living in the Zhuangzi of the eldest grandson's house, and after a little inquiry, all of them are blacksmiths, blacksmiths gathered from many rooms, such a big move is intriguing.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, he had it sooner or later anyway, so he said softly: "I have received an order from Your Majesty to find a way to train stainless steel here, and by the way, cast a good weapon for this year's attack on the Turks." ”
"Weapons?" Cheng Chuliang was interested, his plate axe was made by his father with sixty-six catties of fine iron, and it was extremely sharp. Although they already have weapons, as men, except for women, what attracts them are weapons and BMWs.
"Yes, I have a clue here, but I don't know if it will work out." The weapon has not been made, and Changsun Chong can't say too sure.
Cheng Chuliang smiled and said, "Brother, I've been idle lately, so it's better to accompany Brother Chong Xian here, and then my brother can also help Brother Xian try weapons." "In fact, I thought in my heart that if I really had a good weapon, I could also pull it nearby.
The eldest grandson Chong was not worried about Cheng Chuliang's leakage, but it was still the person who would tell the prophet Chang'an that could respond, so he persuaded him: "The second brother of the Cheng family, not the younger brother, the younger brother is also very difficult." This is Your Majesty's explanation, and the younger brother thinks that you should talk to Uncle Cheng and Your Majesty and come over. ”
"Hehe, what's this! Later, lend me your horse, and I will ride back to Chang'an, and with the permission of His Majesty and my father, I will come again. Cheng Chuliang didn't care.
The eldest grandson Chong was surprised, such a long way, could it be that Cheng Chuliang came on foot, and asked curiously: "Second brother of the Cheng family, where is your horse?" ”
When Cheng Chuliang heard this, his face was a little unsightly, and he sighed and said: "My good horse is a waste, but it was my father's birthday gift to me when I was fifteen years old, BMW." ”
Changsun Chong knows Cheng Chuliang's BMW, his body is taller than ordinary horses, and he is very spiritual.
"I was in a hurry, and I didn't know that the black-hearted guy threw a nail on the road, and the horse's paw penetrated. Even if you are cured, you may not be able to recover from the same as before. Cheng Chuliang said with a sigh, with reluctance in his eyes.
This reminds Changsun Chong of the saying that the car is a man's lover, and this BMW is also very attractive to men.
Then he asked, "Doesn't this horse have iron horseshoes on its feet, how can it be penetrated by iron?" ”
"Iron horseshoe?" Cheng Chuliang looked dazed.
Seeing Cheng Chuliang's blank expression, Changsun Chong realized that there would be no horseshoe at this time! Regardless of the fact that Cheng Chuliang was still sitting in the house, he ran to the stable behind him in his single clothes, and saw that the horse's feet were bare, no wonder they would be penetrated by nails.
Cheng Chuliang saw the eldest grandson Chong running out, he didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly ran out, and heard the eldest grandson Chong muttering, but he couldn't hear the specifics.
Changsun Chong didn't know how to make a horseshoe, he just hoped that it would get dark as soon as possible, and he would enter the apocalyptic space and exchange the production method of this thing.
"Brother Cheng, don't worry, Brother Ming asked you to bring a credit back to Chang'an!" Changsun Chong said mysteriously, and did not immediately tell Cheng Chuliang.
In the evening, the eldest grandson rushed to the apocalyptic space to ask for the method of making horseshoes and the improved saddle.
Changsun Chong was attacked by a blacksmith early the next morning, and asked the blacksmith to make four horseshoes according to the required size.
The horse had never worn "shoes", so he was naturally unhappy, so Changsun Chong had to order someone to tie the horse up and put it on.
The horses in the shoes were obviously not as comfortable as usual, jumping on all fours, but after a few times they couldn't kick off, they slowly accepted the fact that they had "shoes".
Cheng Chumo suddenly realized, patted Changsun Chong's shoulder again and again and said: "Brother, you are really talented, with this, our war horses will not be consumed as much as before." You don't know, against the Turks and other nomadic herdsmen, our cavalry itself can't catch up with them, plus the horses are often injured, and they can't catch up with the Turkic gang. I heard my father say that it takes hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy war horses every year. ”
In the modern era, when I took a history class, there was another question, since the horse farming technology existed in the Han Dynasty, why did the plains of China not be popularized, but always used ox farming? One of the answers is that in the ancient cold weapon period, war horses were important strategic materials, and it was not enough to fight a war, where is there any remaining horse farmland!
"Hehe, you just said that you came up with it, ask me for help, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will definitely let you come here and get these weapons with me." Changsun Chong suggested that he was a little lonely here alone, and if there were a few brothers who could get along, it would be easier to send some away.
Cheng Chuliang shook his head like a rattle and said, "How can this work?" I can't take the credit of my brother, I'll be laughed at, or the two of us will make it together? ”
In the previous sentence, Cheng Chuliang said that he was righteous Ling Ran, and in the latter sentence, he was obscene and shrewd, Cheng Chuliang only knew that he could not take the credit of his brother, but he was touched by the light of his brother.
"Okay, whatever you want! Anyway, you follow from beginning to end and know what's going on. Here are the drawings, you bring them with you, just in case. Eldest Sun Chong did not hesitate to take out the drawings from his arms and handed them to Cheng Chumo. It was Changsun Chong's generous surname that made many brothers fellowship with their hearts and saved Changsun Chong's life several times.
Cheng Chuliang was very moved, didn't say anything, hugged his fists and saluted, rode on the BMW nailed to the horseshoe, and ran to Chang'an.
When he arrived in Chang'an, because of a few small horseshoes, Cheng bit Jin and kept worrying, and found a few bigwigs to study.
"Senior Brother Yao, what is wrong with you looking at the horse?" Cheng Biting Jin is rare and subtle, but it can be vigorously displayed.
Li Jing was called by Cheng Yanjin, knowing this guy's high-profile surname, he wouldn't fool him with nothing, so he looked carefully at the horse not far away. This horse is fine, not sick, very strong. When he heard the crisp sound of a horse's hooves, he walked up to the horse's side and saw that the horse's feet were nailed with iron plates, similar to the shoes worn by people.
"This is iron?" Li Jing asked in surprise, if all horses had such "iron shoes", then countless horses would reduce casualties every year.
"Yes, it's called a horseshoe." Cheng Yanjin smiled proudly, "My son and the eldest son of the eldest grandson's family have studied it together." "Change
When Li Jing heard this, he despised it in his heart, whose child has a spleen surname, everyone knows it in their hearts, his old Cheng family can have a brain, and the sow can go up the tree, it must be following behind the eldest grandson Chong, robbing others of the credit, embarrassed to take it all, just say that the two worked together.
