Yesterday's meeting with Guiguzi was too dreamy, so that Xu Yang had a dream that seemed to be a fantasy all night, and the old man in the sky blue striped white robe in the dream was able to open mountains and crack stones, turn rivers and seas, and fly to the sky, and he was already a great cultivator.

As a result, the dream had just entered the ** stage, and when the white-robed old man was about to teach the "True Scripture of Cultivating Immortals" to himself, a rooster suddenly crowed in his ears.

It turned out that the chickens raised by the farmers began to report, Xu Yang subconsciously looked at the watch on the bedside, I went, it was only 4:30, whose chicken is this, it must be slaughtered tomorrow.

Then, the door slammed, and Xu Yang covered his head under the quilt, and now he wanted to go back to his dreams.

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

The knocking outside the door didn't seem to stop at all, but it kept knocking louder and louder, and finally two voices came.

"Master Hou! Hurry up, today is a big court meeting, Your Majesty announced that you will enter the palace to discuss the locust plague. Outside the door, Xiao Fugui and Xiao Shunzi's shrill voices changed a little urgently.

Then a sound flew on the beam, and Xu Yang's quilt was lifted all of a sudden, and he shivered.

Han Yanxuan's faint voice sounded, "The locust plague matter should not be underestimated, my Guigu disciple takes the world as his own responsibility, get up quickly." ”

It can't be done now, Xu Yang feels that he can't defeat Han Yanxuan's demon with his own force value.

Opening the door, Xiao Fugui and Xiao Shunzi were surprised that there was an extra man in the room, but years of court education let them know the truth of talking less and doing more, and they didn't care about Han Yanxuan, who was wiping his sword on the side, just holding a bunch of official uniforms for Xu Yang to change into.

After changing into his official uniform, Xu Yang was stuffed into the carriage, and the coachman also knew that the situation was urgent, so he hurried quickly, fortunately, the mountain road from Zhongnan Mountain was now repaired, otherwise Xu Yang felt that his breakfast could be reversed.

Entering the Mingde Gate, there were almost no people on Suzaku Street, only a few sparse carriages, rushing to catch the last class of the pilgrimage.

Strictly speaking, this is Xu Yang's second time in the court, originally he was not qualified to go to the court as the marquis of the founding county, just a noble position to eat, drink and have fun, but since he proposed next year's locust plague, he had to come to the court.

This time Xu Yang didn't make a mistake, breakfast was finished in the carriage, standing outside the Liangyi Palace, this time there seemed to be fewer people in the big court meeting than last time, today's foreman is Du Ruhui, sure enough, the discipline is strict, everyone stands in two rows respectfully, and even the military general group did not chat at will like the last court meeting.

Wei Zheng seemed to be very satisfied with the appearance of the ministers, like Fang Xuanling's foreman, he was as loose and collapsed as he was, and saw that he was wearing a green robe and holding a jade plaque in his hand, dangling back and forth in the crowd, checking the appearance of the hundred officials.

After standing for a while, the time for the face to face the saint came.

Standing outside and shouting was the white-haired eunuch, "The first year of Zhenguan, October Ganyi, the Great Dynasty Meeting, Audience!" ”

The voice shouted loudly, and Xu Yang followed the hundred officials.

The Liangyi Hall is still so magnificent, but this time Xu Yang has no mood to appreciate, yesterday he chatted with Han Yanxuan who slept on the beam of the room all night on the topic of the ghost valley, and knew a lot of strange things, I am afraid that the conversation will be talked until the early hours of the morning, and now I get up at half past four, and I am so sleepy that I can eat a cow.

Kneeling behind a big official, Xu Yang quietly dozed off, anyway, there are many officials, and because he is a false position from Sanpin, his position is not very high.

Du Ruhui is really much more rigid than Fang Xuanling, after the father-in-law announced the start of the court meeting, this guy began to chatter endlessly, and he was dizzy when he listened to it, although he quoted scriptures, but he couldn't understand it, but several old officials next to him shook their heads and enjoyed themselves.

"What Du Aiqing said is very true, if it is decided today, it is the right way for the people to recuperate and recuperate, and those who reclaim the land and support the peasants will be exempted from paying taxes for three years." Li Er's voice was always so high, and the white eyebrows next to him hurriedly recorded it.

"In the first year of Zhenguan, October Ganyi, the Great Dynasty Meeting, there is something to play, and nothing to retreat from the court." Bai Mei shouted. Then he heard the voice of an urn shouting, "The minister has something to do." ”

"What's the matter with Cheng Aiqing?" Li Er was a little curious.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's about the wear and tear of the horseshoe." Cheng bites Kings Wenwen's appearance is really a little weird.

"Oh? Horseshoes worn? Why? Li Er was a little confused.

"Back to Your Majesty, although this horseshoe can protect the horseshoe, but my Datang ironware is softer, it has only been more than half a month, and there are soldiers at the border pass who said that the horseshoe has been worn out or thinned, and I am afraid that it will need to be replaced with another batch of horseshoes in a few months." Cheng bites the golden road.

"Oh? This is a problem, it cannot be used for a long time, and it will have to be reproduced in a few months, which is a problem. Li Er touched his chin and asked, "Do you Aiqing have a way to deal with it?" ”

The hall suddenly became noisy, but there was no standing up with a jade plaque.

"Where is Xu Aiqing?" Li Er shouted in the main hall.

Everyone was stunned, who is this Xu Aiqing? As a result, after a pause, everyone remembered that Xu Yang, a disciple of the Ghost Valley, was the one who invented the horseshoe last time in the Great Dynasty.

Xu Yang was sleeping in a daze, and he felt that the person next to him had been pushing him, and then he heard Li Er's solemn voice: "Where is Xu Aiqing?" ”

"The minister is here!" Xu Yang hurriedly stood up with the jade plaque.

Li Er knelt on the high platform and said, "Xu Guigu, this horseshoe was developed by you, do you have a way to wear this horseshoes?" ”

Xu Yang is sleepy-eyed, and the horseshoe is worn? What's going on?

"How dare you ask how this horseshoe wears out?"

Cheng Yanjin answered: "Horses travel dozens of miles a day, although the horseshoe can protect the horse's shoe, but for half a month, the horsehoe has been worn out of shape or thinned, presumably it will not be able to be used for a long time, and then it is too troublesome to change to a batch of horseshoes, I wonder if you have a solution, boy?" ”

When Xu Yang heard this, he realized that Datang's iron-making process was not yet mature, coke oven ironmaking was not very clear, and iron products were not good in terms of hardness, strength, or corrosion.

"There's a way." Xu Yang held the jade plate and saluted.

"Oh? Xu Aiqing came quickly. Li Er leaned over and said.

"The main reason for the wear and tear of this horseshoe is that the iron quality of this farrier is not up to par, as long as it can be forged with good iron, with materials, it is natural to have good horseshoe."

"Boy, you are a bit ashamed of what you said, my eldest grandson is in charge of the world's iron tools, and recently the iron making has also encountered a bottleneck, the old man thinks about it day and night, and he can't solve the problem, if you can solve the problem of soft iron, easy to corrode and rust, the old man will take out 10,000 yuan with you, what do you think?"

Xu Yang looked at the person who spoke, and saw that it was indeed the eldest grandson Wuji's hooked nose who spoke.

The eldest grandson Wuji's hand is so powerful, he saw that he had the ability to improve the iron, so he first promised 10,000 yuan, although it was a gamble, but once the iron tools were really improved, this 10,000 yuan would become a monopoly fund, and all the technology would be bought.

"Mr. Changsun is strict, how can the kid He De accept ten thousand pieces of money, the kid heard that the eldest grandson's iron making is famous all over the world, and he only hopes to cooperate more with the eldest grandson's family in the future." Xu Yang proposed a win-win plan.

The eldest grandson Wuji stroked the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "This move is very good." ”

Xu Yang then hugged his fist to Li Er on the high platform and said: "The minister handed over the process of improving iron-making to the eldest grandson family in the afternoon, and with fine iron, presumably there will be no more wear and tear of the hoof." ”

Seeing that one thing had been solved, Li Er nodded with satisfaction, and then thought of something again, his face eased again, and said to His Royal Highness Xu Yang in a deep voice: "The locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan, how sure are you Xu Qing?" ”
