Xu Shi, Huaidefang, Duke Lu's Mansion
Since Cheng Yaojin only gave him half an hour, after Cheng Chumo and the others left Fangshi, they each mounted their fast horses and drove towards Lu Guogong's mansion at lightning speed.
Along the way, he was stopped and interrogated by several rounds of Wu Hou who patrolled the streets, which delayed him for a while, but he still made it back to Cheng Mansion in time.
As soon as the three of them entered the front yard, Cheng Chumo saw Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin standing at the door of the front hall.
He rolled his eyes and said to Cheng Yaojin:
"Dad, you haven't seen it. Brother Ming made a big splash in Pingkangfang tonight. As soon as that poem came out, the legs of the little ladies in Baihua Pavilion became weak. If you hadn't sent someone to call When we come back, maybe tonight...hehe."
Cheng Chumo said this mainly because he wanted to use this news as a joke to see if he could get away with taking Qin Ming to the brothel.
As a result, Cheng Yaojin's face darkened when he heard this. Without saying anything, he waved to the servant beside him and said:
"Go, tie Dalang and Erlang to the tree in the backyard. No one can put them down without my order."
Several servants responded when they heard this, and immediately stepped forward to restrain the two Cheng Chumo brothers.
Cheng Chumo's body was restrained and he kept struggling. While struggling, he said aggrievedly:
"Dad, the child is back on time. As the general of the left leading guard, how can you break your promise?"
Xiong Er also shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Dad, this is all elder brother's idea. It has nothing to do with the baby. The baby was forced to follow me. You believe the baby."
Xiong Da heard this and said angrily:
"Culiang you..."
"Dad, you saw it, right now, the elder brother is still threatening the child."
Cheng Yaojin was furious when he heard this and said:
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and take these two little beasts out for me?"
After hearing this, several servants said "Promise" in unison and dragged the two of them towards the backyard.
Qin Ming was stunned by everything that happened in front of him. After a while, he saluted Cheng Yaojin and said:
"Uncle Cheng, brothers Chu Mo and Chu Liang just took their nephew to a brothel for a drink. We didn't do anything to get out of the court. How about you let them go?"
Xiong Daxiong Er's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought to himself that these are the true beloved relatives, friends, brothers, and brothers. At this time, he did not forget to help me plead for mercy. I did not make friends with this brother in vain.
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he gave Qin Ming a somewhat thoughtful look, which only made Qin Ming feel a little hairy.
"My dear nephew, come in with me. I have something to talk to you about."
He ignored Xiong Daxiong and the other two, and led Qin Ming into the front hall.
Seeing that the last hope of Xiong Daxiong Er was shattered, they all drooped their heads and were dragged to the backyard by their servants.
.....
As soon as Qin Ming entered the front hall, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing. He raised his head in confusion and saw Li Er sitting in the hall with an unfriendly expression. Sitting next to him was Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian County, and a man Qin Ming had never seen before. People who have passed.
There was no time to think about why Li Er and Prince Hejian came to Cheng Mansion at this time. They hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:
"My nephew, I have met Uncle Li, I have met Uncle Li."
Li Shimin just snorted when he heard this and ignored Qin Ming.
Instead, Li Xiaogong smiled and said to Qin Ming:
"My dear nephew, it's really hard to see you. I and your Uncle Li have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Oh, by the way, there is also this one. Uncle, let me introduce to you. This is the Minister of Industry and Commerce, and he is here to see you specifically this time."
Qin Ming was stunned when he heard this. Duan Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry? Did you come to me specifically? What the hell is this?
....
Speaking of which, we have to start talking about it two hours ago.
Today at Shenshi, after learning about the role of horseshoes, Lu Guogong rode Qin Ming's horse and quickly entered the palace to see Li Shimin.
And in front of Li Shimin, he rode his horse around the school ground paved with arrows and gravel, and then had the horse put down so that Li Shimin could take a look at the horseshoes himself.
After Li Shimin saw the effect of horseshoes, he felt happy and angry.
The good news is that as long as all the war horses in the Tang Dynasty can be equipped with iron hoofs, their combat power will definitely be more than doubled.
The most important thing is that after equipped with this horseshoe, the horse's hoof can be better protected, and there is no need to worry about frequent replacement of war horses due to cracked hoof.
It should be noted that for military horses on the battlefield, after a battle, nearly 30% of the horses have to retreat from the battlefield because of injured hoofs.
The emergence of horseshoes solved this problem very well and could greatly extend the service life of military horses. This would undoubtedly save the court considerable military expenditures.
What Li Shimin was angry about was that Qin Ming had such a good thing, but he didn't know how to hand it over to the court. If Cheng Yaojin hadn't discovered it this time, he didn't know how long it would have taken for the court to use the horseshoe.
Just by replacing the military horses, I don't know how much more food the treasury will spend every year.
Of course, the horseshoe reminded him of what the eldest grandson said two days ago.
That kid kept not only horseshoes, but also paper and cement, presumably all of which were urgently needed by the court.
Thinking of this, Li Er became even more angry, but his anger returned. The importance of horseshoes to the court was self-evident.
Although the Tang Dynasty pacified the Eastern Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan, wars still broke out frequently on the border in the past two years, so he definitely did not want to delay.
After quickly sending someone to call Li Xiaogong and Duan Lun, Minister of Industry, they followed Cheng Yaojin back to Lu Guogong's mansion.
First, he wanted to ask face to face what should be paid attention to when making and using this horse's iron shoe.
Secondly, he also wanted to make some insinuations to see if this kid would tell him about paper and cement making.
But he never imagined that when he arrived at the Qin Mansion, not only did he not see anyone immediately, but he heard from the servants of the Cheng Mansion that Qin Ming followed Cheng Chumo and his servants to Pingkangfang to visit brothels.
This made Li Shimin furious. Well, I just gritted my teeth and decided to marry my two beloved daughters to you, and you went to the brothel to look for flowers.
Forget about looking for flowers and asking for willows, he actually wrote such a good poem just to please a brothel girl.
This made Li Shimin feel very sad. The more he looked at Qin Ming, the more displeased he became.
It's been so long, but I haven't seen you write such a good poem for me. Are my two daughters worse than a brothel girl?
I don’t want this son-in-law.
