Chapter 163

"What? Put shoes on the horse!" Li Chengqian exclaimed.

"Nonsense, if you walk barefoot, do you panic? You know how to wear shoes, but you don't know how to wear shoes for horses!" Merton rolled his eyes and said.

"Er, ER!" Li Chengqian was speechless. The reason was this, but it was awkward to put shoes on the horse

Li Chengqian never thought that Merton's brain was so open. It was as simple as Merton said, but who could think of it. Besides, how could the horse run even if he put shoes on the horse.

"Brother Gao Ming, please look!"

Merton raised the horse's hoof of Jue Ying and motioned Li Chengqian to observe it carefully.

After watching for a long time, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and shook his head. He only felt that the horse's hoof was still a horse's hoof. It seems that he still stayed in the realm of seeing the mountain as a mountain.

Merton was helpless and pointed to the cuticle of the horse's hoof and said: "The hoof armor of the horse's hoof is a piece of dead skin, just like our fingernail cap. It has no pain, and this layer of hoof armor is the easiest to wear, so the way to avoid the wear of hoof armor is very simple. Put shoes on this layer of hoof armor. In this way, wear is shoes. If the shoes are worn out, just change another pair of shoes."

"Oh!" Li Chengqian suddenly touched Jue Ying's hoof armor curiously, and then looked at the hole that Merton had drilled with iron wire to treat Jue Ying's laceration. It was indeed a dead skin.

"But what kind of shoes can fit a horse's hoof?" Li Chengqian felt that his brain hole was really not enough!

"Young master, here comes what you want!"

At this time, there was a loud noise outside the door. Zhang's second son Zhang Yang panted and ran to Merton and handed over four semicircular strange iron products.

"So fast?" Merton took it in surprise and couldn't put it down. He rubbed along the arc of iron products, just like appreciating a beautiful work of art.

Li Chengqian came up curiously, looked at the strange thing and asked, "is this what you call the horse's shoes?"

"It's called a horseshoe! It's also called a horseshoe!" Merton compared the horseshoe with the jueying hoof armor. It was just the right size and nodded with satisfaction.

Li Chengqian picked up two horseshoes and looked at jueying's horseshoes. He couldn't understand how this thing was worn on the horseshoes.

Zhang Yang brought over a knee high wooden stool, put jueying's horseshoe on it, picked up a knife and carefully trimmed the hoof armor on the horseshoe.

After pruning, pick up several long nails and nail the horseshoe on the horseshoe easily with the help of tie an.

This was repeated three times. In less than a quarter of an hour, the four horseshoes of Jue Ying had been ordered.

"That's all right?" Li Chengqian looked at Jue Ying curiously, kicking his four hoofs, leaving a circle of nearly full moon on the ground.

"Of course, in this way, if the horseshoe is severely worn, it can be replaced directly. These horseshoes are made of the best refined iron of Mohism. They are extremely hard and can withstand great strength without deformation. Moreover, the horseshoe also has the greatest advantage. It can help the horseshoe better grasp the ground and avoid slip errors as much as possible."

"Good thing, what a good thing!" Li Chengqian immediately brightened his eyes and praised them.

As Prince Li Chengqian, of course, knows the situation of the Tang Dynasty. Horses can pull cars, farm and travel. There is a great demand for folk horses. Having a cow in the countryside is a rich home, let alone a horse. In the folk, horses are a luxury ornament.

The losses caused by excessive wear and tear of horses in Datang are countless every year. The light ones are injured and the heavy ones are directly scrapped.

However, with horseshoes, each horse will be covered with a protective film, and all these problems will be solved. For the people of the Tang Dynasty, they can rest assured that they can use horses for a long time, which will be a great gospel.

This is to say big, to say small, his favorite horse in the East Palace finally doesn't have to be brought on the horse for a year and a half. As long as he changes the horseshoe, his favorite horse must become lively again.

After a period of familiarity, jueying gradually got used to the things under his feet.

"Drive!"

Merton turned over and got on the horse, shouted, and the shadow trotted for a while. He crossed the crossbar again. This time, he was very relaxed and landed steadily, leaving only deep horseshoe marks under the soil.

Merton drove Jue Ying to trot in Merton's backyard for a while, then released Jue Ying's bridle and let it run in the backyard of the ink house.

"Herod!"

Jue Ying has never run since she was injured. When she got this chance, she jumped and ran freely, and sang high from time to time. The once king of horses appeared again.

Soon, with the publicity of skilled skills, all the remaining more than 80 horses were equipped with horseshoes.

Watching Merton solve the problem of headache in China for thousands of years so easily, Li Chengqian looked like a monster, staring at Merton, and Merton was very upset.

"I don't know how long your head is? You can even do such a strange thing. I don't know what else in the world can beat you?"

Merton covered his head strangely and looked at Li Chengqian with a wary face.

"Fuck off, who wants your head!" Li Chengqian scolded angrily. The former Prince's self-restraint had already disappeared.

"It's no use if you want it. I didn't think of this horseshoe. It has been in the world for 600 years." Merton shook his head regretfully and said a hot news.

"It's impossible?" Li Chengqian exclaimed. If he had lived for 600 years, how could he not know that Datang still hurt so many horses every year.

Suddenly, Li Chengqian suddenly said, "it's a foreigner's thing?"

Li Chengqian can know that the ancestors of Mohism had traveled to many foreign countries outside the Tang Dynasty and experienced many strange things.

Merton nodded and said, "according to Mozi's Secret works, in the west of the far western country, there is a boundless far western ocean, and there is an island country in the far western ocean. Such a song is popular in the upper class.

One nail is missing, one horseshoe is missing,

Lost a horseshoe, lost a war horse,

Lost a war horse, lost a battle,

He lost a battle and a country

………………

When Charles III was put on the guillotine, he never thought that he would lose a country just because of a small nail. "

"Ah!" Li Chengqian opened his mouth in shock. He never thought that a horse nail should be equal to the state.

"What did brother Gao Ming get from this story?" Merton asked.

"A thousand miles of dike will collapse in an ant's nest because of small losses," said Li Chengqian.

"Wrong, everyone else's horse has horseshoes, but none of ours." Merton said painfully.

"Uh, uh!"

Chengqian was stunned. The MOH family is the MOH family, and the brain circuit is different from him.
