Chapter 60: The Horseshoe

The veteran in the court is crazy or not, Liu Fan probably can't see it, but Ma Zhou and Li Yifu are crazy, crazy and shouting, holding the horseshoe and kissing vigorously, as if the horseshoe is the most beautiful beauty in the world, and Liu Fan is disgusted.

He Yongfa stood aside with a smile, Liu Fan took a horseshoe and watched it carefully, he had played with horses in his previous life, practiced riding, and knew the importance of the horseshoe, and now when he saw the U-shaped horseshoe in front of him, he still felt like a dream, he just made a casual suggestion, and let He Yongfa create such a thing, and the stakes are naturally known.

Ma Zhou's eyes were red and he hugged the horseshoe, and he had words in his mouth, and after a while, he began to cry.

Li Yifu is relatively calm, holding the horseshoe and kissing constantly, without too many other movements, it seems that everyone is quite normal at present, but they are just a little excited.

Liu Fan shouted for a long time, Li Yifu reluctantly kissed the horseshoe again, Ma Zhou also stopped crying and looked at the horseshoe steadily, Liu Fan asked: "What is the price of this horseshoe now?" ”

"Some time ago, the research cost a lot, consuming iron, charcoal innumerable, and found a mule to experiment a total of more than 400 times, now the technology is mature, four horseshoe is worth only 397 yuan! When you are more mature in the future, the cost will come down a little more! He Yongfa proudly introduced.

Ma Zhou's eyes almost popped out, he didn't expect that most of the money that had been spent in Liu Fan's Mansion would be used to research these things, and he didn't expect that as long as the technology was mature, the cost could be reduced so much!

Li Yifu is using arithmetic to calculate, and it turns out that relying on the current military strength of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that it is not a matter at all to install all the frontier horses on the horseshoe, that is, it is difficult for the hundred officials and the emperor to eat porridge, if it can also equip all the horses in the prefecture, but it is estimated that the queen of the eldest grandson will have to wear a tattered skirt to stay in the palace again, and the queen of the eldest grandson must be willing to do this at that time.

Ma Zhou saluted He Yongfa and said: "Since ancient times, craftsmen have been inferior, but today you are justifying the name of the craftsman, this matter will be famous in history, and your family should enjoy wealth forever!" ”

He Yongfa's mouth was almost crooked with a smile, but fortunately, Liu Fan slapped him on the head and said: "Since it has been made, I will carefully study how to make this thing more durable, I don't want to be on the battlefield in the future, because of the cold weather, or the wet ground makes it rust and break, so that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will inexplicably die on the battlefield because of the horseshoe, and then your responsibility will fall on your children and grandchildren!" ”

He Yongfa suddenly didn't dare to laugh, carefully took the horseshoe, and said that he would definitely make the horseshoe more durable.

The three of them went out, and they didn't have the mind to sleep at the moment, Liu Fan's idea was relatively simple, if the military strength of Datang could be strengthened, then Datang would conquer more places in the future, and there would be no focus on how much money the local nobles made and how much land they encircled, and no one cared about the development of Linjia Village.

When all the focus is constantly advancing, then all the domestic contradictions will be weakened, as long as the domestic contradictions are transferred abroad, and can bring huge benefits, the entire Li Tang will not be able to stop, will continue to move forward, if it can be done to the point of Genghis Khan, it is not impossible, if it is really done, it is actually quite a headache, because this requires huge management talents to manage.

Thinking a little far, Liu Fan smiled self-deprecatingly.

Li Yifu saw Liu Fan smiling and said, "Brother Fan, what are you laughing at?" ”

Ma Zhou also looked at Liu Fan, the two who had recovered from the shock were a normal Tang Dynasty boy, and his eyes were full of wisdom and thought.

Liu Fan said: "I'm just thinking, if the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty conquers the Turks, conquers Goguryeo, and conquers the surrounding countries, the next thing will be to conquer there!" ”

Ma Zhou frowned and said: "Datang is the center of the world, and it is enough for all countries to come to Tang one after another, and when all the surrounding areas are conquered, it will naturally vigorously develop people's livelihood!" ”

Li Yifu also nodded in agreement.

Liu Fan smiled and didn't say anything, now the world is square for them, this kind of argument Liu Fan doesn't want to overturn at present, and he is too lazy to overthrow, the current overthrow is useless, but it may have a bad impact, and he can't explain how he knows, it's better to wait until he has the opportunity to mention this kind of thing later.

The three of them did not feel sleepy, so they began to participate in the nightlife of Linjia Village, and came to the square to jump heartily for a long time, until the flame in the brazier was artificially extinguished, and everyone began to slowly disperse, and then began to look for food, mutton steamed buns must be eaten in this cold night, and the barbecue on the side of the road also needs to be, although the taste is average, but it is better than the original, eat and drink enough, go home and take a bath, and soon begin to sleep.

Now the square of Linjia Village will become the main force of young people every night, they are energetic, and have the ability to spend, Liu Fan wants to make beer, so that their money will flow into Liu Fan's wallet very quickly, but beer really can't be made, the distillation technology of liquor is still being explored, and there is no way to make any creative ideas in this piece of wine at present.

Early the next morning, Liu Fan came to Chang'an City early with a horseshoe, this time, Liu Fan decided to give Cheng a chance to bite the gold, no way, the old Cheng family gave Liu Fan a lot of things, although he said that there are countless money overseas, but he can't get it in the past few years, since he can't get it, you might as well give him the horseshoe business, presumably this old guy will definitely get enough benefits for the Cheng family.

After Cheng Yanjin knew the role of the horseshoe, he quickly installed it on the horse's hoove, and then rode out on a horse, and did not come back until he ran for more than an hour, and Liu Fan had already eaten hot pot with Cheng Chumo, this guy has been slandering the food in Linjia Village, but he can't surrender his identity to play with the third generation of the rich second generation of the group of officials, so he has endured it, and now Liu Fan came to the house, naturally laughed and prepared the food, just waiting for Liu Fan to show his cooking skills.

Liu Fan saw the meal, and did not refuse, and directly cooked a table of dishes.

Cheng Biting Jin came back, knowing that it was Liu Fan who was cooking, he beat Cheng Chumo half to death, and then sat in Cheng Chumo's position and said with a big bite of meat and wine: "Not bad, the old man specially picked some gravel roads, and the horse still ran fast without injury, and he didn't come back until he was tired, Liu Fan, you are very good!"

Liu Fan said with a smile: "It is within the scope of the general to solve problems and contribute to His Majesty, and he deserves the praise of the general!" ”

Cheng Bingjin laughed, then patted Liu Fan's shoulder and said, "Drink it!" ”

Liu Fan's face was red, purely painful.
