In the stable, the horse that Prince Zhao had selected in advance was shaking its hooves uneasily. It was probably because there were too many people around it that it could not calm down.
"Do it." Prince Zhao nodded to the craftsman to start.
It was not the first time that the craftsman did this, so he was very calm.
Wang zizhao could not bring something that had not been tested successfully to the court, saying that seeing is believing. He just wanted the king and ministers of Southern Jin to witness the miracle.
Since Tang Yue appeared in his life, he has encountered more and more miracles, which is why he can't wait to tie people around.
They saw that the craftsman nailed the bottle into the horseshoe, and the horse stood obediently eating grass without showing any pain. However, with the end of the "Ding Ding Ding" sound, the people were still a little confused.
"That's the end of it?" The king of Southern Jin asked Prince Zhao unreasonably.
"Yes, as long as the horseshoe can be nailed into the horseshoe, but it is best to ask the veterinarian to look at the horseshoe carefully. If there is any damage, it should be treated in time to avoid tetanus."
"Let the horse run a few steps." If the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty was not worried about the insecurity, he even wanted to jump on his horse's back and personally verify it.
Wang zizhao waved his hand, and Hu Jinpeng strode to the horse. He leaped onto the horse's back in a neat posture, pulled the reins, and clasped the horse's belly between his legs, and cried out: "drive..."
The horses were running in the square. The grass around the stables was too soft to hear the collision between the horse's hooves and the ground. However, when the horses were running happily, there was no doubt.
Hearing the news, Prince Xian stood on one side, staring at the scene with a gloomy face, "as long as you nail this thing into the horse's hoof, you can reduce the loss of war horses? It's a bit too much. "
Prince Zhao didn't even look at him in the right eye and replied, "if it's too true, you can ask the horse shepherd to check it out."
"Come on, pull the horse back and have a good look." The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty was so happy that he decided to try his own horse.
Hu Jinpeng rode the horse back, patted him on the neck with admiration, jumped off the horse's back and said, "my Lord, after the horse's hooves are put on the horse's hooves, it's not suitable at first, and the steps are a little disordered. However, after running a few more steps, he runs more and more steadily. He feels faster and more stable than before he doesn't get on the horse's hooves."
"If so?" The king of Jin ran out like a whip.
The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty was also a man who had been on the battlefield on horseback. Although his riding skill was not more exquisite than that of his time, he was also better than the average young man.
He turned around and came back in a high spirited way, laughing: "ha ha Good! Great kindness! I seem to have regained the feeling of running on the battlefield when I was young. "
He jumped off the horse's back, squatted down and raised his hooves to watch.
The crowd was busy obstructing: "king, no!"
The king almost kicked his feet, but he was not in a good mood! It's a good horse
Wang zizhao took the opportunity to propose the introduction of fine rare horses from northern Vietnam. The king of Southern Jin hesitated and asked, "how could it be sold if you bought Beiyue openly?"
"I have learned that the merchants have privately transported horses to and from each other. There is no need to breed more horses. There are enough horses."
"Then the cost The National Treasury is in short supply. I'm afraid it's hard to buy so many good horses. "
"I'm going to set up a caravan to do business in the north and the south. We can try to bring back some herbs, fur, livestock and grain from the north."
This is the result of the negotiation between Wang zizhao and Tang Yue along the way. Tang Yue needed some herbs only growing in the north, but he wanted to try to plant the grain from the north in the south. Together, they decided to build a caravan together.
Tang Yue also thought that when Zhang Chun's judgment came down, he would first go to the caravan to practice for several years. He was the most refined person who had traveled from south to north. He had the active thinking of modern people, the mind was flexible, and he understood the world's sophistication. What he lacked was his understanding of the times and his tough and hard-working character.
"Caravan? People have their own merchants, so they can use them to recruit them. Why do they have to work hard to mobilize the masses? "
"This caravan is not for profit. It's just to transport things back from North Vietnam. My son Chen wants loyal servants to do it."
"It's OK." The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty nodded, "if necessary, you can ask the provinces under the gate to help you, so as to exempt the taxes of this caravan. The road guide can be unimpeded in the Southern Jin Dynasty. As for money..."
"My son will find a way." Wang zizhao took the initiative to take over the problem that made everyone headache.
The public did not show it on the face, but they were more and more sure of Wang zizhao. If there was such a responsible and capable successor, why should the Southern Jin Dynasty not be prosperous?
After watching the horses, they returned to the main hall. The king of Southern Jin immediately ordered that all the horses should be nailed with horseshoes.
"If so, my king, I'm afraid the storage bottles are not enough. These bottles were originally used to make agricultural tools and prepare for spring ploughing next year."
"Can we speed up mining?"
"In terms of manpower Can we increase the corvee
"No Wang zizhao was the first to oppose and proposed: "many prisoners were held in all cities of Southern Jin Dynasty. It is better to send these prisoners to the mining area and let them work instead of crime.""The ninth Prince's proposal was not approved by the minister." The Duke of Lu stood up and said, "these criminals are big traitors and evil people. If they take the opportunity to escape, they will be in endless danger."
It was a group of people who didn't want to die. If they ran away, where would they go?
Prince Zhao glanced at him and said, "it's going to winter soon. There are few wars in winter. You can send troops to guard the mining area. If you can't see a few prisoners well, can you expect them to defend the country?"
Many ministers echoed: "Prince Zhao is right. Replacing migrant workers with prisoners can not only make people recuperate, but also let prisoners do more for Nanjin."
Don't waste food in prison all day!
The king of Southern Jin thought for a moment and nodded his head and agreed, "however, you must take good care of this group of people. If anyone dares to escape, they will be killed."
"Here it is."
After solving several major issues, the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty was relieved. He did not care whether it was too late. "Zhao'er, can you tell me where you got all these things, and which strange person and scholar did it?"
Wang zizhao had thought of the answer for a long time, so he came all the way, "my son minister, on the way to Qinyang City, saw an old man bundle the wolf tail hair into a ball and used it as a brush. He smeared the wall with paint. He had an idea and wanted to make a writing pen with hair.
After several trials, the minister finally made a brush. As for ink, Tang Xiaolang of the Marquis of queryang developed it. You should know that he was the doctor who cured the children's legs.
The horseshoe bottle was used by an old man on the way to Qinyang City. The old man loved the livestock, so he wrapped the hoof with the skin of the bottle. The son thought, if the cow's hoof can be used, the horse's hoof can also be used naturally, so people have designed the horseshoe bottle. "
Although these people were born out of nothing, they believed that the king of Southern Jin could not go to check. Even if he wanted to do so, Prince Zhao was already ready.
Although people think that Wang zizhao's observation power is very human, and can always draw inferences from the details, no one doubts that he made a fraud.
Moreover, these reasons are reasonable and can withstand scrutiny. Although there is a little bit of luck, who can call others to be favored by God?
Moreover, when they see this scene, they may not be able to think of changing these things into these two innovations.
Wang zizhao undoubtedly made great achievements this time. The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty had no reason to delay the position of Prince.
"Zhao'er is young. I wanted you to practice for several years. However, you have been seriously injured. I dare not let you go to the battlefield any more. It is better to start to deal with the government affairs with me."
"This is the duty of the children's ministers. If the war breaks out again, they can go to the border again. Even if they can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they can still sit in the rear and do their little work."
People praised: "the ninth Prince's righteousness..."
"Your Highness is kind, but never take any more risks."
The Duke of an winked at an official of his faction, and the other party immediately stood up and exclaimed, "I'd like to ask the king to make Prince Jiu the prince!"
This proposal has been unanimously agreed by all. Even some ministers who support other princes can not say that Prince Zhao is not good enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Wang Zixian was so angry that his teeth itched. He gave Duke of Lu a wink, but the other party narrowed his eyes as if he was asleep. He didn't see it at all.
After a moment's hesitation, the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty finally nodded and agreed.
"Let's draw a conclusion Zhao'er is not too young, so he will choose the crown prince and princess together. "
"King, according to the minister, Princess Tangxi is the most suitable candidate. He is not as good as the king's gift of marriage, but also more gratifying."
"Hi..." The Duke of an sneered, "Marquis Yi'an is really joking. How can we mention the marriage that has already retired? What do you think of Wang zizhao? Where is the royal face? If you want to marry, you can marry if you don't want to! "
Wang zizhao only returned four words to him: "it's hard to round a broken mirror!"
