The first person to understand that Tang Sufan was talking about was Du Ruhui. Suddenly, Du Ruhui's face turned red and he couldn't hide his excitement. He stared at the horseshoe in Li Shimin's hand as if he were staring at a rare treasure.
He is the Minister of the Ministry of War. When it comes to the situation of horses in the Tang Dynasty today, he, Du Ruhui, knows best! He even knows more than Li Shimin in some aspects!
The emergence of horseshoes will not only greatly reduce the loss of war horses in the future, but also allow most of the nearly 20,000 damaged war horses to return to the battlefield!
Du Ruhui seemed to see the huge cavalry of the Tang Dynasty standing majestically in front of the enemy's formation again!
Du Ruhui's beard trembled and his eyes were as old as day and he said quickly: "My boss, this weapon... is comparable to a magic weapon!"
Li Shimin and others also figured out the effectiveness of horseshoes, and looked at the horseshoes with trembling eyes. Once they figured out the reason, the value of the horseshoes was completely revealed.
Although the number of horseshoes required for a horse is not a small amount, compared to the value of the whole horse, it is really too small...
Li Shimin turned his head and asked Tang Sufan quickly: "Tang boy, how can this thing be used by horses?"
Cheng Yaojin volunteered: "Quick, quick, quick, Mr. Tang, teach me how to shoe this horseshoe!"
Immediately, Tang Sufan stood aside and asked Cheng Yaojin to polish off the sharp edges on the horseshoes in front of him, and then nailed the horseshoes step by step...
If Tang Sufan was asked to nail it by himself, he would not dare to do it with such a big horse hanging next to his head.
Li Shimin watched carefully from the side. When the horseshoe was driven deeply into the horse's shoe, he sighed in his heart that Tang Sufan was right!
Even if the horseshoe digs deep into the horse's hoof, the horse will not feel any pain.
After a while, four horseshoes were installed on Tang Sufan's horse.
Stomping on the ground makes a sound, and the cold light is like sharpening.
The horse that Tang Sufan came to for free became the first horse to wear horseshoes in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin glanced at the horseshoes under the horse's feet excitedly, and then said: "Sure enough, it has no effect on the horse when it is worn, and it can perfectly protect the horseshoes! What a treasure!"
Then Li Shimin couldn't help but pull the horse's rope, and jumped onto the horse under the astonished eyes of several people.
The emperor Li Shimin directly tried the horse himself.
Li Shimin waved his hand boldly: "I'm going to try the magic of this horseshoe myself!"
Tang Sufan smiled bitterly and shook his head. This old Li was really impatient.
But when everyone was shocked, Li Shimin had already ridden away on horseback. Fang Xuanling and others were so frightened that their hearts trembled. This horseshoe was just used for the first time, so if any of the horseshoes failed and something happened, it would be fine...
He quickly chased after him and howled like a ghost, "Master! Slow down, slow down!!"
Tang Sufan stood there waiting, smiling at the "uninterested" masters and servants.
After a while, Li Shimin, whose face was glowing, had already ridden his horse in a circle, making Tang Sufan, who couldn't ride a horse, envious of Lao Li's ability to ride a horse.
Li Shimin turned over and dismounted, staring at the horseshoe on the horse's shoe with his eyes wide open: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Hahahaha~"
In this way, more than half of the problem of the court's war horses was directly solved. This small piece of iron had a qualitatively changing effect on the development of the Tang Dynasty's cavalry!
Fang Xuanling and others who were panting heavily also came back. Although they were panting, they could really see the magical effect of this horseshoe.
Li Shimin even rode his horse to a gravel road near the village and ran again and again, but the horse's hoofs were not damaged at all. If it were an ordinary horse, it would not be possible at all!
This horseshoe is simply a military weapon!
Several people were really convinced that a small piece of iron could actually play such a role!
Moreover, this horseshoe is ridiculously simple. It is just a small iron bar that is hammered into the shape of a horseshoe. Even a craftsman with no skills can make several of them in a day~
And this is not a gap in skills at all, but a gap in brains. I have to say that Tang Xiaozi's brain is amazing.
Put shoes on the horse...
No one in the world has thought of such a simple question, except this boy who has a unique vision!
Li Shimin straightened his clothes, bowed his hands to Tang Sufan seriously, and said, "Young man Tang, this thing can solve the court's catastrophe. As the saying goes, if three people are walking together, there must be my teacher! You really have seen it!"
It is really unexpected that a small piece of iron can solve the urgent needs of the court.
With this item, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty can be guaranteed to be stronger! It can save the court countless money for other purposes! On the battlefield against the Turks next year, it will be able to protect countless soldiers from Yu!
This skill can be said to be great...
Fang Xuanling and others also followed suit and bowed their hands. For counselors like them, who rely on their brains to make a living, this kind of intelligence is the most admirable and admirable!
Because if you can do this kind of thing, you can do it. If you can't do it, there's no point in thinking about it...
Tang Sufan was also embarrassed by the behavior of Lao Li and others, and what attracted Tang Sufan most to Lao Li and others was the sentiment of family and country.
I hurriedly said goodbye and said a few polite words, sighing in my heart at the damn ritual sense of the ancients~
"Okay, Lao Li, just find a way to present this to Li Er. Just say you got it by chance, and don't mention my name~"
Li Shimin said with a hint of joking in his eyes: "You kid, you are really lazy as hell. Are you so afraid that the current emperor will find you?"
Don't let me know about this shit, I know everything! Surprised or not? Is it surprising?
Fang Xuanling and others also glanced at Tang Sufan jokingly, as if they felt that His Majesty's game was not without its tricks.
Now that I am sober, and Tang Sufan is drunk alone, it is really a pleasure to occupy the high ground of IQ~
Tang Sufan said softly: "It's not that I'm afraid, I just want to live a relaxed life. Once Li Er discovers me, I'm afraid I will inevitably get involved in some things, which will be very annoying~"
Just live your small life happily. As for the official power matters, Tang Sufan didn't want to be tainted in the slightest.
Don't say that I'm very upset when I'm in officialdom all day long. Maybe I don't know when my destiny will be gone.
Besides, he, a high-quality young man of the 21st century, who has received a profound education that everyone is equal, can he lick Li Er? That must be impossible!
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and shook his head, then he felt that it was good that people like Tang Sufan who truly got along with him as equals always made him feel more inexplicably relaxed.
If it comes to a real showdown, maybe Li Shimin himself is a little reluctant.
Then Li Shimin laughed and scolded: "Okay, okay, I don't care about you, you will know how to feel comfortable all day long~"
"Tch, isn't it good to feel comfortable?"
Tang Sufan stretched out comfortably, then raised his brows.
He said to Li Shimin: "By the way, Lao Li, follow me to a place later. Since you are ready to enter the officialdom, I will take you to meet a few high-ranking officials, and at least ensure that you will not be bullied in the future~ "
After Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but jokingly said: "You boy, you have such a big tone, how many senior officials do you know?"
