"Son, I have already agreed that you want to marry me. Can you give me the mirror now?"
Let’s talk about whether to get married or not later. Let’s get the mirror first.
Maybe the child returned to Xianyang and gave up on his own initiative after hearing about Wang Wan's temper and temperament!
"Okay, then I'll give this to you, but you have to be careful, this thing will break if touched by external force!"
Xiao Zhengtai pointed at the mirror that Ying Zheng had been holding in his hand and said.
"well……!"
Ying Zheng nodded happily and handed the mirror to Zhang Han, "You can keep it for me!"
"Ah...? Ah!"
Zhang Han was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Gao was executed last night. Now there is no personal eunuch around Ying Zheng, so he has to take care of him!
That rough guy Wang Ben wouldn't even risk his life if something happened, let alone this precious mirror!
"You two have suffered so much these years, please come back to the palace with me!"
Ying Zheng glanced at the dilapidated thatched house again and said to Lian'er in a serious voice.
"good!"
Lian'er smiled and nodded.
Xiao Zheng had expected this too early!
The person my mother has been thinking about day and night all these years is right in front of her. Even if he is not the emperor, she will probably follow him without hesitation!
This is the charm of love!
After the two simply packed up their things, they followed Ying Zheng into the carriage!
The carriage moved forward slowly, first to the palace in Yunyang with everyone, and then set off for Xianyang!
Yunyang County is about 600 kilometers away from Xianyang City, and the carriage they took can only travel 100 kilometers a day at the fastest.
In other words, it will take at least six days to reach Xianyang!
Originally, Ying Zheng planned to stop at many places on this section of the road to show the majesty of his emperor.
However, considering their mother and son, they decided to go straight to Xianyang!
During the break, Ying Zheng greeted Lian Er with concern.
The young lady, on the other hand, crossed her legs and leaned against a big tree to enjoy the shade. She also picked a cattail and held it in her mouth, "Oh...! What a pity! What a pity!"
"Child, what's wrong?"
After hearing Ying Feiyu's meaningless words, Lian'er walked over with her skirt in hand and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, mother, I just feel sorry for these horses!"
Little Shota spit out the cattails in his mouth, purred and stood up.
"horse?"
Lian'er followed Xiao Zhengtai's gaze.
A bay-red horse was led by a soldier and passed by them. Upon closer inspection, the horse seemed to be limping and walking in a weird way!
"These horses are all war horses. They have been on the battlefield before and have made great achievements. Now they are patrolling the east with me. After all, they can't stand it any longer!"
Understanding what the two were talking about, Ying Zheng also came over and explained with his hands behind his back.
"Why can't they bear it? This horse is fat and strong, with shiny coat. It is estimated that it is in its prime, that is, it has been fighting for many years. The horse's hoofs are severely worn and it will not even be able to walk!"
"If horses were put on shoes from the beginning, they would never be like this until they die!"
Xiao Zhengtai exhaled from his nostrils and said with a sneer.
In later generations, these will be the most basic common sense of life, even children will know it!
But we can’t blame them. Horseshoes didn’t officially appear until the Yuan Dynasty more than a thousand years later. No one in this era even dared to think about it!
"Shod the horse?"
One sentence made Ying Zheng's eyes light up.
Even the ministers resting around them became interested and gradually moved towards them!
This guy is right. If there are shoes for horses to wear, they will definitely solve the problem of horses' hoofs wearing out too quickly!
"I wonder how to wear these shoes?"
Ying Zheng asked eagerly.
Da Qin was able to unify the six kingdoms, and these war horses were indispensable.
Countless dollars are spent on replacing war horses every year. If there is really a way to extend the service life of war horses, it can save Da Qin a lot of money!
With extra money, you can buy war horses and let Da Qin's cavalry conquer the entire world!
"Isn't this simple...?"
Xiao Zhengtai looked at Ying Zheng as if he were a fool, "The soles of a horse's feet are just like our fingernails. They don't feel pain. It is precisely because of this that they can run freely. However, if a war horse moves for too long, the soles of its feet will be worn out. If it is too severe, the sole of the foot will be injured, leading to the situation just now!"
"The solution is very simple, just ask the blacksmith to make a special iron piece and nail it to the horse shoe!"
"Special iron piece?"
Everyone was confused by Xiao Zhengtai's words.
I seem to understand something, but I also seem to understand nothing!
"Wait...!"
Little Shota quickly flipped his legs, jumped on the carriage, and rummaged through his small backpack.
After a while, the little guy ran back with a pen in his mouth and a piece of white paper in his hand!
"I can't explain it, but I'll understand it if I draw it for you!"
Ying Feiyu has lived in the countryside for more than ten years, and some of the elders in his family know how to shoe horses, so it is not difficult to draw a diagram.
This thing is just a piece of U-shaped iron, with no technical content!
Holding a pencil in his chubby little hand, he quickly sketched out the general shape of a horseshoe.
"Well, nailing a small piece of iron like this to the horse's hoof will immediately reduce the wear and tear on the horse's hoof!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
"The young master has a wonderful idea!"
"Absolutely. The issue of horse hoof wear has been discussed several times in the court with no result. I didn't expect that the young master would solve it easily!"
"In my opinion, the pen in the young master's hand is outstanding. He can draw patterns smoothly without grinding!"
"Hmm! This white silk-like thing is also good. Not only is it light, but the pattern drawn is also very clear!"
…
After the drawing of the horseshoe was drawn, all the ministers praised it.
Some were shocked by the horseshoes, others were attracted by the pencil and white paper.
"Boy, are these the shoes you said you were going to put on your horse?"
Ying Zheng looked calm, but his heart was already in turmoil.
He knows the importance of horseshoes better than anyone else!
Even though there is only a small piece of iron, it can definitely make Da Qin take a big step forward!
【Ding! Congratulations to the host, for stimulating the inner ambition of the First Emperor and rewarding him with +10 agility]
【Ding! Congratulations to the host, shocking the courtiers, speed +1]
【Ding! Congratulations to the host, shocking the courtiers, strength +1]
…
I wipe it!
But I just drew a random drawing and got so many attribute points!
It seems that it is right to return to the palace with Ying Zheng, and the rewards will be huge!
I had drawn some drawings of farm machinery before when I was in Julong Village, but there were very few rewards. How could it be as enjoyable as this time?
After the mechanical sound of the system stopped, Xiao Zhengtai grinned contentedly, and then he remembered to talk to Ying Zheng, "Yes, these are the shoes I said I would give the horse to wear!"
"Is this what your master told you?"
"No! I dreamed this in a dream!"
Little Shota was talking nonsense.
