Chapter 586 Farewell
Xiao Chong, who was dressed in fresh clothes and angry with horses, brought a few slaves and galloped on the official road, one on two horses, obviously planning to take the more arduous and fast route.

Ali, the Kunlun slave, was squatting beside the gazebo, stood up when the sound of their horseshoes sounded, and looked into the distance. After realizing that it was Xiao Chong, he said to Lin Wanwan in his newly learned crappy Zhu County dialect: "Xiao is here. "

Then he ran towards the official road with his arms open.

Xiao Chong soon discovered that this Kunlun slave who followed Xiao Qingyu every day, pulled the rein and slowly slowed down.

At this time, Sun Hueyao also ran over, saluted with a long bow and said loudly: "Xiao Mingfu, my wife is here to invite you."

Sitting on the horse, Xiao Chong condescendingly looked down at the two people blocking the way, then glanced at the pavilion with curtains, pondered for a moment, got off his horse and walked towards the pavilion.

Lin Wanwan had already lifted a corner of the curtain, waiting for Xiao Chong.

After entering the gazebo, the two parties greeted each other, Xiao Chong looked at the hot wine on the stone table, and said: "My cousin waited here to see Xiao off, I am very grateful, thank you."

There is no intimacy in the words before, but a feeling of alienation.Lin Wanwan's questioning of him yesterday still hurt his heart.

Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes and stretched out her hand: "Cousin, please sit down, this wine is my treasured wine."

The Liang Zhu rice wine bought in modern times should be one of the favorites of wine lovers when it is cold.

"Okay, I'm being disrespectful."

Xiao Chong loves wine, and has already smelled the aroma of wine, so she sat down on the stone bench, Lin Wanwan picked up the hot wine and filled the glass in front of Xiao Chong: "Cousin, please."

Xiao Chong raised the wine glass and took a sip, then drank it all in one gulp, and praised: "It's really good wine."

After drinking three cups in a row, Xiao Chong put down the wine glass, stood up and said, "I have eaten the wine, and I have taken my heart. The journey is long, and Xiao still needs to hurry, so there is no delay. Cousin, we will meet later."

"Cousin, there's still half a jug of wine left, don't you want to finish eating before leaving?"

Xiao Chong said: "No need, it's luck to be able to drink these three cups, too much wine will cause trouble."

"Well, drunk driving is also dangerous. My cousin doesn't drink if he doesn't want to."

Lin Wanwan took out a kit from the cloth bag hanging around her waist and handed it to Xiao Chong: "Cousin, I specially prepared this for you. I wish you a smooth journey."

Xiao Chong glanced at Lin Wanwan unpredictablely, smiled and took it: "Thank you cousin, farewell."

After finishing speaking, she turned around casually, opened the curtain without a trace of muddy water and strode away.

Lin Wanwan stood at the edge of the curtain and raised a corner, watching Xiao Chong get on his horse, gallop away without looking back.

Her heart was filled with disappointment, until she could no longer see the back of Xiao Chong in fresh clothes and furious horse, she put down the curtain, sighed, sat alone in the gazebo, picked up the jug and poured a glass for herself, and drank it all in one gulp , but in the end he choked and coughed until tears almost came out.

Finally stopped coughing, Lin Wanwan said to the surrounding servants: "Close the stall and go back to the city."

"Here."

Xiao Chong on the other side galloped all the way and entered Luoyang City before the city gate was closed.

As the accompanying capital built by Yang Guang with huge sums of money, Luoyang City, an intermediate station of the North-South Grand Canal, has [-] lifangs and three markets, and its prosperity is not inferior to Chang'an at all.

It's just that Xiao Chong, who was driving all the way, didn't care to appreciate it. After entering the post station, he entered his room.

This big foodie didn't even have the interest to go to a restaurant to have a big meal today. It can be seen that he is in a terrible mood, which is indescribable.

Shuqi is the most incomprehensible of Xiao Chong's changes. He has already asked for a marriage gift, and his wish has been fulfilled. Today, Mr. Le'an Township also came here to send him off with affection. Why is his husband still not happy at all?

"Go out, let someone be quiet, order to go down, make a hot pot and come in."

"Here."

When Xiao Chong was the only one left in the room, he took out the kit from Lin Wanwan from his closet, but he didn't dare to open it for a moment.

But after all, he was not a coddling person, he opened the kit without hesitation after a while, and saw a folded piece of paper as he expected.

He unfolded it and saw that there was a design drawing inside, with horses, iron bars in the shape of horseshoes, and text descriptions.

Horseshoe, also known as horseshoe, is an iron hoof nailed on the horseshoe. The main purpose of nailing the horseshoe is to delay the wear and tear of the horseshoe.It is a must-have product for horses running long distances, and it is a high-quality shoe for horses.

Xiao Chong's first wish was to be a general. Shortly after seeing this blueprint, he suddenly thought of marching and fighting.

Besides money, the important factor restricting the development of Datang cavalry is horses. He realized almost instantly what it would mean if the statement in the blueprint was true.

Every year, the army loses tens of thousands of horses due to horseshoe grinding costs. On the battlefield, the loss of money is only a small matter, and the delay of fighter planes is a major event.

Horseshoes are the toenails of a horse. Put iron shoes on a horse, and replace them with a pair of iron shoes as soon as they are worn out. Is it really that simple?
If this statement is true, it will solve the eternal problem that has plagued cavalry from now on.The significance of this matter is that it is as simple as saving tens of thousands of military expenditures to the military every year.

"Cousin, cousin, you really gave birth to a daughter by mistake." Xiao Chong secretly sighed, if Lin Wanwan is a person who likes to chase power, then this alone may be able to change her to the position of imperial concubine , but now he has to hide his strength and bide his time.

Right now Xiao Chong wanted to verify the authenticity, he didn't even bother to eat dinner, and immediately opened the door and went out.

Xiao Chong remembered that it was located in the west of the same Lifang as the post station, and there was a blacksmith's shop.

Iron smelting has been strictly controlled since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the early Tang Dynasty, the iron mines were not completely monopolized by the government, and there were also some elites who inherited private iron mines from their ancestors.

Regarding this part of private iron mines, the imperial court imposes a 20% iron tax every year, and the iron ore produced by them must be sold to the government first, and the excess can be sold to the private sector.

The imperial court used this to control the flow of iron and steel, and when ordinary people bought ironware privately, they had to go to the head of the village and Fangzheng to get a certificate.

Xiao Chong came to the blacksmith's shop and asked the blacksmith to make horseshoes according to the shape of horseshoes, and he also put his county magistrate's seal on it.

After a busy night, six pairs of horseshoes took shape. Xiao Chong ordered the blacksmith to put horseshoes on the three horses he brought, and then without hesitation, after the city gate opened at dawn, he rode the horses and whipped them on the official road.

The distance from Luoyang to Chang'an is [-] li. Yesterday Xiao Chong had been running at full speed for a whole day, and today he was not afraid of hardship or tiredness and continued to attack with his two slaves.

The sound of horseshoes hitting the official road made a different crisp sound, which made Xiao Chong on the horse look extraordinarily majestic and heroic.
