Chapter 40 Who looks down on me
According to Ni Tu's instructions, Ma Shunliu cleaned the horse's hoof, carefully pressed an arc-shaped iron ring on the horse's hoof, and then inserted an iron nail into the hole before picking it up tremblingly. a small hammer.

"Well, if such a long nail hits the horse's hoof, it won't hurt the horse like hell?" Cheng Zheng said worriedly.

Others also expressed this concern.

Seeing Ma Shunliu's hesitation, Ni Tu smiled and said, "You bite your fingernails and toenails, can you feel the pain?"

Cheng Zheng obediently raised his hand and bit his fingernails, and suddenly realized: "It doesn't hurt!"

"Bullshit! The live horniness I mentioned just now are the nails on the horse's hoof."

Ni Tu squatted down, took the hammer and nailed the horse, and popularized the knowledge: "A horse's hoof is composed of two layers. The layer in contact with the ground is a layer of hard cuticle about two or three centimeters thick. The first layer is living keratin."

"The horseshoe is in contact with the ground, and it will fall off quickly due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of accumulated water. The main purpose of nailing this horseshoe is to delay the wear of the horseshoe. The use of the horseshoe not only protects the horseshoe, but also makes the horseshoe grip more firmly. The ground is great for riding and driving."

"Horseshoe? This thing is good!" Cheng Zheng yelled.

Jia Er hurriedly realized, and ordered to the person beside him: "Register the names of the people present, and treat their horses in order later."

"Here!"

In fact, Jia Er was worried about revealing this treasure of the horseshoe, so as to control these people so as to keep this big secret.

After nailing the four horseshoes, Cheng Zheng got on the horse and ran a few laps to test it himself.

When he was tired from running and got off his horse, he laughed heartily. "Horses wear iron shoes, just like people wear shoes, and they run more vigorously! They have strength, speed, and passion! Good! This horseshoe is great!"

All the soldiers gathered around at once, raised their horses' hooves to study carefully.

Jia Er frowned anxiously, he whispered into Cheng Zheng's ear, and Cheng Zheng's eyes widened, showing a look of embarrassment.

"All soldiers come to listen to the order!" Cheng Zheng gave the order, and all the soldiers gathered up one after another and stood in formation.

"Today's horseshoe is a secret of our army, and no one is allowed to disclose it! Anyone who breaks the law will be punished!" Cheng Zheng immediately thought of it. With this horseshoe, it not only reduces the frequency of horse replacement, but also preserves the quality of the horse, making it Practice makes perfect in training, and steady and steady fighting can further enhance the combat effectiveness of his army.

Cheng Zheng trembled with excitement, he seemed to see himself leading the magic soldiers, flying into the enemy's formation quickly, and beheading the enemy under the horse.

"Lieutenant, don't worry! These artifacts were made by Mr. Wen Linlang for our horses. How can we spread them out? If our opponents find out, we will suffer a great loss from the loss of our lives. Who will challenge your own life!"

"Yes, please rest assured, Colonel, we are willing to issue a military order to keep this big secret."

"Okay! Do you dare to bet blood on calligraphy and painting?"

"Here!"

Looking at the sad atmosphere of swallowing mountains and rivers and swearing, Ni Tu felt a little helpless.

"Hey, isn't it just a horseshoe? In a few years, when the Silk Road reaches its peak and the Romans come, the horseshoe will be brought into China."

It is said that the horseshoe may have been a Roman innovation.

A common horseshoe is iron, fairly light, with a nail hole punched through one side.The edge of the horseshoe is often contoured, with the unsecured ends bent into a cleat.Together with the nail head, it protrudes like on a medieval horseshoe, giving the horse's hoof a firm grip on the ground.

In Roman society, the most common are those peculiar horse sandals.

The so-called horse sandal is a smooth iron plate bent into a ring at each end.

It is tied to the horse's hoof to protect the horse's hoof.

A few horse sandals have spikes that help the horse grip the ground.It is mostly used for cobblestone or other rough ground.

From the thin-stem needle straw sandals used for cattle to the use of tight-fitting shoes, horse sandals have lasted a long time with little change.

Ni Tu once saw an article about the archaeological site of Rome in the first century BC. It was found that the binding of horse sandals was to use nails to fix the horseshoe on the horny skin of the horseshoe, that is, to burn the horseshoe into shape and then put it under the horse’s feet. Then use a hammer and a nail to nail this thick piece of iron into the sole of the horse's foot, and use the barb of the iron nail to fix it on the horse's ankle bone to prevent it from falling off.

The modern way is to lock it with screws.This is permanent.Therefore, if the horseshoe is worn out, it is generally difficult to remove it and make a new one. At most, a new layer of fixing is added underneath.

Compared with horse sandals, horseshoes are relatively more convenient, and they can also withstand bumps and are not easy to fall off.

Jia Er called Ma Shunliu to a place alone, took out a piece of silk from his bosom, unfolded it for Ma Shunliu to sign.

Ma Shunliu was terrified at first that the chief would kill himself in order to keep the horseshoe's secret.

Ma Shunliu saw that the silk was full of black characters, but couldn't read any of them, so he said embarrassingly, "Master Lu Commander, I don't know how to read."

"I can't read? That's easy!" Jia Er showed a sly look.

"This commander-in-chief would like to ask you a question: Do you want to be Lu Guogong's servant?"

"Think about it! Grassroots dream about it!"

"That's it! Sign here and draw a pledge, and you will be Lu Guogong's servant from now on."

"Really? Don't lie!"

"Don't you believe what Ben Shuai said?" Jia Er showed a fierce look on his face, and Ma Shunliu hurriedly lowered his head in fright.

"Believe it! Believe it! It's just that the grassroots don't understand. The grassroots have no special skills and no looks. How could they fall into the eyes of the general and want to accept the grassroots as Lu Guogong's servants?"

"It's because of the horseshoe in your hand! The captain also said just now that you should keep it a secret, but you are the first person who knows how to shoe a horse, besides Wen Linlang. Hehe, you still haven't understood this general mean?"

"Huh? Horseshoes?"

"Are you going to sign or not? It's fine if you don't. I have a way to keep you from opening your mouth."

"I sign, I sign!" Ma Shunliu was so frightened that she bit her finger and marked at the end.

Jia Er is very satisfied.

"Come to my tent at three o'clock tonight. I will tell you the rules. I will also come to collect your land deed for three acres of good land. If you don't come, then you won't want it!"

"Grassman... the old slave obeys!"

Jia Er glared at him, turned around and left, and ordered: "All these horseshoes must be nailed up today, and if any horse is nailed bad, it will be deducted from your monthly salary."

"The old slave will definitely live up to the great trust of the brigade commander."

Jia Er strode away.

Ma Shunliu jumped up like a monkey.

"Haha, get rich! Get rich!"

Ma Shunliu was a veterinarian before he came to serve in the military, and he was reluctant to pay the military service money, so he bit the bullet and became a soldier in the government.

I didn't expect to pick up such a big deal by accident this trip.

"Hey, my Bao'er can directly propose marriage to Donkey's wife!" After solving the problem in his heart, Ma Shunliu swaggered as he walked.

"Who still looks down on me?"

"Boom!" Ma Shunliu didn't know what happened, but he stepped on a donkey's tail.

The donkey lifted its hind legs in pain, and kicked Ma Shunliu away.
