Not only Jiang Yan's feet were shining, but the feet of the government officials who came with Jiang Yan also seemed to be shining.
"It's really strange. Is there something on the horse's belly?"
Xu Jidao saw the key point at a glance.
It's just that due to limited knowledge, I can't guess what the shining point is reflected from when I see it.
Ning Wushan was not in a hurry to explain.
After the officers and soldiers in front dispersed, he gestured to Xu Jidao about the horses in front.
"Mr. Xu, please, the eye-opening moment has arrived."
"Come on, hurry up, I want to see what's so strange about it."
Xu Jidao was thinking about those strange shining places and walked quickly towards Jiang Yan.
Before he even arrived, he saw Jiang Yan stepping on the shining spot and quickly turned over and dismounted.
Xu Jidao was immediately stunned.
"What is this iron tool on the horse's belly...?"
After coming back to his senses, Xu Jidao hurriedly asked.
"Brother Jiang, I saw that when you were riding on the horse, your legs were bowed, and I thought you had inconvenient legs and feet. But now it seems that you must have stepped on this iron tool. What is it?"
Facing Xu Jidao's repeated questions, Jiang Yan laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be here, Brother Xu. It just so happens that you also come to witness the wonders of this stirrup!"
Stirrup?
Xu Jidao became even more confused.
How come he has never heard that there is such a thing called a stirrup in the world, and he has never seen someone carrying this thing on the horse's belly when riding a horse.
Looking at Ning Wuyan, who was not surprised by this, he asked in surprise: "Little friend Ning, do you know what this stirrup is?"
Know.
But in front of everyone, Ning Wuhuang naturally couldn't admit it because he had already handed over the ownership of the blueprint to Jiang Yang, so he looked towards Jiang Yang.
"Brother Jiang Yang, why don't you come and explain to Mr. Xu what exactly this stirrup is?"
As soon as these words came out.
Except for Jiang Yan and his party, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Yang.
Even the officers and soldiers were no exception.
As officers and soldiers assigned to the governor, they are highly mobile and have strict requirements on equestrian skills. Similarly, when traveling around Jiangnan Road with the governor, they inevitably have to deal with horses from time to time.
No matter how good their equestrian skills are, it is a big challenge for anyone to stay on horseback for a long time. Even if the horse and man are integrated, there are times when the horse is out of control.
A horse that is good at being ridden and can maintain high maneuverability is definitely not a good horse.
Maybe if I lose my mind, the horse will find an opportunity and fall off.
But when Jiang Yan and the others were riding horses just now, their legs stepped on the so-called stirrups, which instantly gave them support, greatly reducing the risk of being thrown off by the horses.
"This stirrup is a really good thing."
"Why didn't I think of such a good thing?"
"Who says it's not the case? I don't know who discovered this treasure. Could it be Mr. Jiang's guard?"
Jiang Yang, who was named, couldn't help but straighten his body, but his eyes showed a guilty conscience.
He did not invent this amazing treasure.
But since Mr. Ning gave him the stirrup drawings, it belongs to him!
He couldn't live up to Mr. Ning's good intentions.
"Master Xu, fellow officers and soldiers, as you can see, these stirrups are actually used in conjunction with equestrian skills, allowing us to have more control over the speed and direction of the horse..."
Jiang Yang gestured to the stirrups on the horse he rode over and explained.
Everyone who had already speculated was still in disbelief.
A small stirrup can actually solve the problem of poor equestrian skills. Those who have stayed away from equestrian skills throughout their lives because they cannot climb on the back of a horse are blessed!
"Jiang Yang, I didn't expect that your kid, who usually keeps quiet, would have such a mind!"
After hearing this, Xu Jidao was filled with admiration and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
Is Jiang Yang really the inventor of the stirrup?
He knew that Jiang Yang was good at equestrian skills, but why did he feel that such an exquisite treasure could not be invented by Jiang Yang, a guard?
Jiang Yang smiled shyly, cupped his fists and bowed to Ning Wuhuang: "Thanks to Mr. Ning for his guidance."
I see!
Xu Jidao suddenly understood and said with a smile: "You are very lucky. Ning Xiaoyou is willing to give you advice. It is your blessing."
"Mr. Xu, it was his blessing that I gave him instructions, but when he gave me instructions on equestrian skills, I couldn't even get on the horse. This was not a blessing, but an irritation. Fortunately, brother Jiang Yang's stirrup saved me. urgent need."
Afraid that Jiang Yang might spill the beans again due to a guilty conscience, Ning Wuhuang decided to change the subject by cheating on himself.
Hearing that he couldn't even get on the horse, Xu Jidao laughed loudly and said: "So, Ning, your weakness is here, haha, I understand. Next time I can't compare with you in poetry competition, I will compete with you." Equestrian can definitely win you can't find the north."
Thank you so much.
Ning Wuyang laughed dumbly.
After Xu Jidao personally touched the stirrups, he got on the horse and tried the feeling on his feet.
Xu Jidao then asked Jiang Yan with unfinished thoughts: "Brother Jiang, can you give me a pair of these stirrups?"
"Brother Xu, there is no reason not to give it to you if you ask for it. It's just that this stirrup looks simple on the surface, but in fact it is a delicate and ingenious thing. The difference is a thousand miles away. Ordinary blacksmith shops are prone to waste. I will present it to Your Majesty. In the future, His Majesty may be able to find a place for forging iron and steel and uniformly build and distribute them.”
As Daxing is a place where imperial power is concentrated, good things must be reported first.
In particular, stirrups play a great military role. Jiang Yan must control public opinion and not allow others to imitate them at will.
Xu Jidao couldn't bear it when he saw that Jiang Yan, who had always been generous, was now acting cautiously, but he couldn't bear it. Seeing that he couldn't find the stirrups, he simply turned his attention to the other horses with stirrups.
"Brother Xu, don't look at it. These horses are going to the capital."
"I see it's not like I'm asking for money."
Xu Jidao muttered something rather critical, then reluctantly looked away from the horse's belly and touched his hungry belly.
"That's all. Since I don't have a share in this treasure, I'd better be pragmatic. Little friend Ning, come with me to have breakfast."
"good."
Ning Wukong doesn't care how difficult it is to make his own stirrups.
Anyway, he wanted to, and he was not afraid that Jiang Yang would not let him unload a pair on the spot and tie them to his horse.
Just thinking about it.
Jiang Yang took off a heavy baggage from his horse and stuffed it into Yun Fei's hand.
Ning Wuyan met his eyes and smiled knowingly.
It seems that he is stable in the equestrian event of this martial arts examination.
With what Jiang Yan said just now, no one else can make stirrups anymore.
"Would this make me look like an exception?"
Exceptions are exceptions. Who said he was really bad at equestrian skills?
Eat enough if you are thick-skinned!
Whoever loves to envy is envious.
Wait until the group of people has gone away.
Arati, who had been hiding in the dark, held a pot of short yellow roses in his arms, stepped out from under the wall, and looked at the horses, with a look of envy in his eyes.
