Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 161 Damn it, what does Li Changle’s gambling have to do with Lin Heng and me?
When Lin Heng took off the horseshoe, the wear and tear on the horseshoe surprised everyone present.

Everyone could clearly see that only the corners where the horseshoe and the iron ring were in contact were worn, and this was just the newly cut corners that were smoothed and smoothed.

The horse's hoof itself did not suffer any other damage at all!
This is a high-intensity run of [-] miles. At such a speed and distance, the wear and tear on the horses is only about this!

Even for ordinary marches, horses will not be used so intensively, which means that with these horseshoes, the wear and tear on horses can really be greatly reduced!
All the officials had expressions of surprise on their faces. Li Shimin took a deep breath and touched the horse's hoof with emotion.

"The emergence of this thing is really a blessing for me in the Tang Dynasty. Send an order and summon all the blacksmiths in Chang'an to make 20 pairs of this thing within a month!"

The combat strength of an army depends on the number of cavalry. The reason why the Tang Dynasty’s military strength was strong was because the number of cavalry ranked among the top three in history!

During the fifth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the number of horses according to official statistics was around 40, of which 15 were military horses belonging to the imperial court!

Li Shimin looked a little excited. With this horseshoe, the loss of horses can be greatly reduced. Once the horse problem is solved, it means that the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty can march to Goryeo, and the opponent has no chance of winning in the plains battle.

Even for sieges, large siege equipment can also be transported over long distances, greatly improving efficiency.

Logistics are guaranteed, and Li Shimin has almost no worries!
All the officials looked stern when they heard this. Since His Majesty has said so, I am afraid that the national war will start this year!

An official said: "Consort Lin created this thing, which has greatly contributed to the loss of horses!"

"With the horses taken care of, we, the Tang Dynasty, will have no worries when we attack Goryeo!"

"This battle will be won!"

At this time, the happiest person is probably Li Lizhi.

She seemed to have never been so happy, she couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Li Lizhi being so excited, Li Shimin also had a happy smile on his face: "With the birth of horseshoes, the horse problem has been solved, and the military strength of our Tang Dynasty has been greatly increased. Changle is so happy, I am also happy!"

He only thought that Li Changle cared about national affairs and the people at such an age. Even though she was a woman, she was worthy of praise.

At this time, Li Lizhi saw that the deal was done and no longer concealed it.

"Of course I'm happy, Aye, did you know? I took Lin Hengneng into custody in Chang'an, and the total was [-] yuan. I made a lot of money this time!"

As soon as these words came out, the originally lively atmosphere immediately fell silent.

When everyone looked at Li Lizhi, she realized something was wrong.

Li Shimin looked stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he said, "Where did you... get fifty thousand strings from?"

When asked about this, Li Lizhi also felt a little guilty and said a little unnaturally: "It was saved by Changle over the years. It has never been touched..."

Changsun Wugou was also stunned at this moment. She had just found out about Li Lizhi's gambling, but when she heard about the [-] yuan, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

That's [-] yuan. It's understandable that Changle has saved so much money over the years, but why did he choose to gamble with all his wealth on it?

At this time, all the officials present also felt that something was wrong.

This is about taking care of family matters!
"Ahem, Your Majesty, I suddenly felt unwell, so I took my leave first..."

"Your Majesty, my leg problem has recurred again. Maybe I sat for a long time today..."

"My mother still needs support at home. I wonder if Zhuo Jing has taken good care of her today..."

Li Shimin glared at Li Lizhi fiercely, but it was difficult to really say anything in front of the officials.

He then looked at the ministers in a loud voice and said: "Lin Heng has developed horseshoes today, which has made a huge contribution to reducing horse wear and tear."

"Two months ago, Lin Heng donated potatoes to the Tang Dynasty. The yield per mu was more than [-] yuan. I have confirmed the value of the potatoes!"

"Then, Lin Heng went to the north to provide disaster relief, solve the food shortage problem in various parts of the north, suppress food prices, and save the people from danger."

The officials immediately took a deep breath. Each of these items listed individually is a great achievement that can be awarded a title!
Now they should be rewarded together?
Li Shimin looked at Lin Heng and continued: "Today, I will grant Lin Heng the title of Duke of Ruyang County, grant [-] households a new settlement, a first-class mansion in Chang'an, a bloody horse, five thousand gold, and one hundred pieces of silk." , hundreds of pieces of plain brocade, thousands of pieces of silk!"

"Xu Linheng can enter the court to discuss affairs, enter the palace directly, and enjoy the same royal privileges. He will be given a yearly salary of gold, silver, silk, and satin, a salary of the same rank as a county official, and a gold medal for immunity from death!" "Everything in the world can be hereditary and replaced, and the descendants will be protected for a hundred years! "

Upon hearing these rewards, all the officials' eyes widened and they didn't dare to breathe.

Not to mention the generous rewards above, just entering the imperial palace to discuss affairs is something that many people would not even dare to think about. Now even Fang Xuanling and Sun Wuji, the two closest relatives to His Majesty, can only enter. There is no need to pass through the Vermillion Bird Gate, but it is also necessary to go inside.

After all, that is where His Majesty lives!
Moreover, hereditary substitution has never happened since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In the Tang Dynasty, only the heirs of princes could be hereditary, but they were also hereditary after being reduced to the rank of a county official. There was never any theory of hereditary succession.

In other words, as long as Lin Heng's heirs are born, they will have the title of county prince, and as long as Lin Heng's death-free gold medal is not used, his heirs are equivalent to having an extra life!

Such rewards have never been seen since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

But even Changsun Wuji had nothing to say at this moment. After all, what Lin Heng had done during this period had already gone beyond normal people's concepts.

Just for the disaster relief in the north within two months, it was enough to leave a name in history. Li Shimin could not reward him too much, and future generations would even remember Li Shimin as a wise king.

Lin Heng couldn't help but change his expression when he heard these rewards. They were really too generous.

He immediately raised his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

At this moment, all the officials also raised their hands in greeting: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin County!"

A reward for jumping two levels in a row!

However, Li Shimin still hadn't finished speaking at this moment. He looked at Lin Heng and said slowly: "You said before that you didn't want to be an official in the court, but your talents are visible to everyone in the world..."

Lin Heng was immediately stunned. Are you waiting for your approval before granting you an official title?
Holy shit, are you playing like this?

Li Shimin said loudly: "It is a grave sin for any scholar to abandon them for use. Since you have no objection to the Tang Dynasty under my rule, you should make the best use of them!"

"I now confer you the title of Doctor of Taixue. You will be responsible for the education of our students in the Tang Dynasty. You are not an official, but you can still display your talents to the fullest."

Before Lin Heng could speak, Li Shimin said directly: "This matter has been settled. Zhongshu Sheng will immediately draft an edict and announce it to the world!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

After all the ministers shouted, Li Shimin also waved his hand to signal them to leave.

They also knew that Li Shimin had to deal with family matters, so they left quickly.

Taixue, one of the highest institutions of learning in the Tang Dynasty!

Lin Heng was a little helpless, but he was still assigned an official position, but after all, he was a teacher from Taixue, so he wouldn't have too many worries.

He had known for a long time that Li Shimin would not let him go easily. Today, he became a doctor of Taixue, which made him relieved.

At this moment, Li Shimin's face suddenly turned ugly and he looked at Li Lizhi.

Lin Heng couldn't help but gloat over the misfortune, and pretended to be sympathetic: "Hey, Changle, you just gambled as you said, gambling with [-] yuan, this is too wasteful!"

Suddenly, Li Shimin looked at Lin Heng.

Lin Heng immediately became excited. Didn't he just go to the fire? Is it necessary to do this to himself?

"Lin Heng! Changle is still young, how could he do such a disaster? You must have secretly instigated him!"

Lin Heng's eyes widened immediately and he screamed.

Why is the hat stuck on your own head? ? ?
