"Who told you this needs to be replaced every day? I'm not afraid to tell you that this shoe is made of iron, and he's named it a horseshoe!"

"As for how long this horseshoe can last, it all depends on the quality of the horseshoe, as well as the intensity of the army's training, with the protection of the horseshoe, not only will it not cost more, but it will also save a lot of money!"

Li Jing didn't get angry, but smiled.

Without this knowledge, it is normal not to understand the horseshoe, in fact, it is not a shame, after all, the Tang Dynasty is rich in resources, and there are several horse farms, and the war horse hooves are seriously worn, so it is a big deal to change a batch, and naturally they will not put their minds on studying and protecting the horseshoe.

Unless it is because of the special geographical environment, the high cost of raising horses, and the income cannot keep up with the loss, the horseshoe will need to protect the horse's hooves and strengthen the protection of horses, and there will be a market when there is demand.

Ouyang Tong listened, and began to calculate in his heart, if it was really according to what the regent said, how much would it cost to make a horseshoe with iron, and if it was a pair of horse legs wrapped around the entire horse, the cost would not be low.

If you just nail a piece of iron to the horse's hoof, you can greatly save a lot of money, but I don't know how long this horseshoe will last?

If it is a month, it will save 10% of the original expenses, and if it can be used for half a year, it can save half of the money, and it will be necessary to wait for the data from the military.

"Bring pen and ink!"

Li Jing said to Ximen Yang on the side, he wanted to draw the shape of the horseshoe, hand it over to the craftsman, create a pair first, and nail it to the war horse for a lap, which is stronger than anything else.

It is better to speak with facts than to just talk on paper, and no matter how fanciful the words are, there are no facts that work.

Ximenyang hurriedly asked someone to fetch the pen and ink and sent it to Li Jing, who picked up the brush and drew the shape of the horseshoe!

"This is the horseshoe, nailed to the horse's hooves, it can play a role in protecting the horse's hooves."

Li Jing handed the paper with the horseshoe drawn to Ximenyang and asked him to show it to everyone.

"Regent, is this horseshoe really as amazing as you say?"

Li Duozuo is very skeptical about this, what kind of fisher's horseshoe is nailed to the horse's paw, won't it hurt?

If it is really as magical as the regent said, there are some difficult places to walk, such as the next door to the desert, I am afraid that you can also walk on the ground, which can also improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and in the future, you will not have to worry about the weakening of combat power when fighting with the enemy army in the Gobi!

"No matter how much this king says, if you don't believe it, what can you do, let the craftsman build a pair and try it, don't you know if this horseshoe is useful!"

Li Jing doesn't bother to say much, just do the experiment directly, the facts are the best proof of convincing!

"The last general is going now!"

After Li Duozuo saluted, he took the drawings from Ximenyang's hand, quickly left the Xuanzheng Palace, and went to find craftsmen to make horseshoes for experiments, and the others also closed their mouths and waited for the results to come out.

The minister also gave a few things that needed to be discussed at the early court meeting, some about the border army, and some about local government affairs.

Li Jing let everyone discuss, and then choose the best to do.

"The envoys sent by this king to Linyi Kingdom, can there be any news back?"

Li Jing asked.

The envoy sent to Champa has been gone for almost a year, and according to the distance between the two sides, plus the time of the friendly visit, he should also be back now!

Even if the envoy group did not come back, why should he bring a letter back and report the recent situation, why did no one report this situation to him, could it be that the envoy group has evaporated from the world?

Seeing that it is about to be the time for spring ploughing, if you don't get the Champa rice back, you will miss the opportunity to plant two crops of rice!

If Datang plants one less season of rice, it will lose millions of stones of grain, which is a big loss for Datang, if it can be planted in the spring ploughing, Zhancheng rice, Datang can harvest an extra season of grain.

"Regent, I haven't received any news about the envoy group, since I went to Linyi Country, I haven't heard from the envoy group for several months, and the minister is planning to report this matter!"

Liu Bowen came out of the ranks, holding a wat board in his hand, and the envoy group to Lin Yiguo has been cut off for several months!

Li Jing frowned, what happened to the envoy group, why didn't he contact the imperial court for several months?

"Ordered the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate to investigate this matter, what happened to my envoy of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Jing said directly.

"Whoa!"

Liu Bowen took the order.

"That's all for today, let's all disperse!"

After Li Jing finished speaking, he got up and left, and the ministers saluted, and after Li Jing left, they left the Xuanzheng Palace, and each went back to the yamen, and had breakfast before working!

Li Jing got off the court, returned directly to the harem, and ordered someone to bring the meal, so early to get up to the court for a meeting, he was already hungry and growling!

"See the Regent!"

As soon as Li Jing returned to the harem, Shangguan Wan'er greeted her, and recently, Li Jing and Shangguan Wan'er exchanged skills in the harem, so Shangguan Wan'er's status continued to rise, and she was appointed by Li Jing as a female official in the near future.

Let her help deal with government affairs, and then Li Jing will make the final decision by herself, so that Li Jing can be more relaxed, and order her to take charge of the edict in the palace.

"Wan'er, if you have anything to eat, bring it to this king, this king is dying of hunger!"

Li Jing took Shangguan Wan'er's hand, walked into the dormitory, and sat down at the dining table.

Shangguan Wan'er asked the maid to bring the prepared breakfast, and Li Jing raised her eyebrows after reading it, obviously disliking the food in front of her.

"Doesn't Your Highness like these foods? I'll let the chef do it again!"

Shangguan Wan'er saw Li Jing frowning and asked.

"No need, it's okay to deal with two mouthfuls! This king still has important things to do, and he will have to go out of the palace later, and you will deal with the recital of the hundred officials for this king first. ”

Li Jing picked up a bowl of porridge and said with a sip.

"Yes!"

Shangguan Wan'er responded.

After eating 10,000 porridges, Li Jing put down the dishes and chopsticks, said hello to Shangguan Wan'er, and left directly!

Li Jing took Yue Yun, the leader of the close guards, and a group of guards, out of the palace and went directly towards the East Inner Garden.

It's a lie to be busy with anything, and it's true to come out to play and eat barbecue.

The East Inner Garden is one of the three major gardens of the Tang Dynasty, located in the southeast corner of the Daming Palace, two miles from north to south, about the size of a square from east to west, and there is a gate on the southeast and north sides of the East Inner Garden.

The east side is called Taihe Gate, through the Dahe Gate is the station of the North Ya Forbidden Army, the south side is the Yanzheng Gate of the south of the Daming Palace, and the north side is the left Yintai Gate of the Daming Palace.

Li Jing got out of the harem, walked through the left Yintai Gate into the East Inner Garden, and came to the side of the Longshou Pond, where the scenery is pleasant, and it is a good place for barbecue and picnic.

In this dragon's head pond, there are also a lot of carp.

Li Jing stood on the edge of the pool, looking into the pool, a few carp weighing several pounds were playing in the water!

Li Jing suddenly smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and looked like he was about to go into the water.

"Your Highness, what are you?"

Yue Yun asked puzzledly, could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent really wants to go down to catch fish?

"What else can I do? Fishing, of course! These fish are so fat, they must be delicious when grilled!"

Li Jing smiled, took off his boots casually, and rolled up his trouser legs.

"Regent, what are you trying to do?"

When Ximenyang learned that Li Jing had come to the East Inner Garden, he immediately ran over to serve, and as soon as he arrived here, he saw Li Jing stretching one leg into the water, and suddenly jumped!

Li Jing looked back at Ximen Yang who was running towards him, and felt a little funny, why don't you catch a fish in the next pool! As for all the fuss!

"Right now? Can't you see I'm getting ready to go into the water? ”

Li Jing looked at Ximen Yang who ran to him, and he didn't have a good airway.

"Lord Regent, the water in this pool is so deep, the weather is too cold now, if you go down, what if you catch a cold? Besides, the fish in this are more cunning, and they can't be caught by hand, and Emperor Gaozong once issued an edict that the people are not allowed to eat carp!"

Ximenyang hurriedly grabbed Li Jing and hurriedly explained.

He was really afraid that Li Jing would go into the water, if he accidentally carried him into the water, he would call someone to save him, if he had any three long and two short, the people who were waiting around them would not be able to eat and leave.

"You're right!"

Li Jing got up, just now he just started to go into the water to catch fish because of his playfulness, and now someone persuaded him to naturally follow the advice!

Ximen Yang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately personally served Li Jing to put on his boots.

"Don't let me go down, then catch me a few fish and come up, I'll roast and eat!"

Li Jing looked at the carp swimming in the pond and ordered Ximen Yang, Yue Yun and others to do it.

This is the advantage of being a superior, belonging to the authority of the superior, just a word, there will be many people doing things for you!

"Why are you still stunned? Why don't you get the tools and catch the fish for the regent!" ”

Ximen Yang immediately turned around and commanded the guards, but the guards were not impressed by his words.

Yue Yun turned around and waved his hand to let a few guards get tools to catch fish, and the guards took the order.

Seeing this scene, Ximen Yang was suddenly half angry, but he didn't dare to attack, Yue Yun is Li Jing's close guard leader, Li Jing's specially promoted Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General, and Li Jing's henchman, he doesn't dare to offend at will, not to mention, now that Li Jing is still in front of him, he dares to give Yue Yun eye medicine and wear small shoes, that's not the old birthday star eating arsenic frost - it's a long life!

Soon, the guards brought fishing tools and caught some of the fattest big fish in the Dragon Head Pond!

"Not bad! Not bad! That's great! You guys go find some dead branches! By the way, find a pot to come over, and by the way, go to the Shangshi Bureau to get some ingredients to make fish soup. ”

Looking at the carp jumping around, Li Jing instructed a few guards to find dead branches to make a fire and bring a pot to cook fish soup.

Li Jing personally commanded the guards, first stunned the live fish, disemboweled, cleaned the fish maw, removed the gills, and then scraped the fish scales, rinsed them with clean water, and then directly skewered them with wooden sticks to roast, leaving a fish to make soup to drink.

Put the skewered fish on the fire and grill it, chop the remaining fish directly into several pieces and put it in a pot to boil, and add ginger, green onions, cooking wine and other seasonings.
