God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 161 Putting Shoes on the Horse (Second Change)
Li Chengqian suddenly remembered something, so he asked again: "How much money is the Ministry of Household planning to spend to solve this problem?"

Don't use your own money to fill in this gap this time. The so-called distinction between public and private is healthy for a country.Otherwise, no matter how much money you spend to make up for it, you won't be able to make up for it.

But Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty has made up his mind, as long as it can be solved, it doesn't matter how much it costs!"

Even if there is not much money in the national treasury, a little bit must be squeezed out.

After all, this is a major matter involving governance. If one is not careful, the country may be lost.

Compared with Jiangshan, money and the like are naturally nothing.

Now that the emperor has said so, there is nothing to say.

"Okay, Duke Wu, I will trouble you to prepare the things you will need for blacksmithing!"

"Yes!"

……

Soon, Yuchi Jingde prepared the blacksmith's tools.

And on the side is hot molten iron.

He saw Li Chengqian inside, holding a pen and paper, and beside him was Cheng Yaojin, who was holding onto the horse with all his might.

Li Tai and the others opened their throats to cheer for Cheng Yaojin.

"Come on, Uncle Cheng!"

"Uncle Cheng is amazing!"

"Don't let the horse run away!"

……

Such a scene is a bit weird, why do you want to pull the horse's leg?no one knows.

Li Chengqian shouted:
"Uncle Cheng, pull the horse! I'll measure it again!"

Cheng Yaojin is almost forty after all, his strength must not be as good as before.

And in front of him is a fierce horse.

"This horse is so fierce that I can't hold it! Your Highness, wait a minute!"

When Cheng Yaojin tried his best, the horse seemed to be more violent than expected.

Suddenly, a stalwart figure appeared behind him.

When he reacted, he saw that Xue Rengui was already beside him.

Only Xue Rengui pulled up the horse, and directly pulled the horse up.Even though the horse couldn't move, he could only watch Li Chengqian draw on its hoof.

Cheng Yaojin:  …

Cheng Yaojin was really embarrassed, to be upstaged by a kid.

On the contrary, Xue Rengui said generously: "Mr. Lu, just leave it to me!"

This made Cheng Yaojin very humiliated, and he secretly fought, but he didn't hand over the other two lies.

Just tugging firmly, Li Chengqian on the side shook his head.

But the horse suffered so much, why did it suffer so much...

After a while, Li Chengqian also finished painting.

"Okay, let it go!"

Cheng Yaojin waited for Xue Rengui to let go before he let go.

This old man really refused to accept his old age. Facing Xue Rengui, who was as strong as a cow, he did not admit defeat at all. The last incident was not over yet, and the two of them could not find a chance to compete.

This time it was a secret competition, but the current situation is special, and it is impossible for them to compete. After all, the enemy is now, and we still need to save some strength to fight the enemy.

Looking back at Li Chengqian, everyone was puzzled.

It's measuring, and it's blacksmithing, what on earth is Li Chengqian going to do!
Facing everything Li Chengqian did, the five princes didn't know why.They don't understand that there is something to wish for, even Cheng Yaojin and the others don't understand it, which is a bit unreasonable.

Finally Cheng Yaojin couldn't bear it anymore.

"His Royal Highness, can you tell us what you are going to do? Now we are like fools, walking around, not knowing why."

Li Chengqian almost laughed out loud, because Cheng Yaojin's description was very apt.

"Okay, okay, let me ask you a question, and you will know!"

Yuchi Jingde also came over and asked, "What's the problem?"

"Why don't you walk around barefoot?"

The princes replied: "Walking barefoot will hurt your feet..."

This is their first reaction.

But Cheng Yaojin and the others were still stunned and ashamed when they heard it, they didn't know why.

Li Chengqian said: "Even the younger brothers know that walking barefoot will hurt your feet, so this is the crux of the problem!"

He said it so clearly, but everyone still didn't understand.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "You all know that people need to wear shoes when they walk, otherwise they will wear their feet, so why don't you put shoes on horses? That way the horse's hooves won't be worn out!"

Yuchi Jingde exclaimed: "This is His Highness the Crown Prince's method?"

Cheng Yaojin also said: "Put shoes on the horses? It seems very difficult! Where can I find good shoes for the horses?"

Judging from their expressions, they were not very satisfied with Li Chengqian's actions.

How does this horse wear shoes?What is the prince thinking all day?
Cheng Yaojin sighed and said, "Hey, it seems that this problem cannot be solved!"

He felt a little bit about giving up.

"What? You don't believe me?"

Li Chengqian said.

The expressions of the two were embarrassed.

It is difficult to convince the two of them by talking alone, they must rely on facts to speak.

So he took out the blueprint and said to Yuchi Jingde: "Mr. Wu, please make four pieces of iron according to this blueprint. There must be no rough edges, it must be very smooth!"

Yuchi Jingde looked at it, and it turned out that what was drawn in the picture was something like a horseshoe.

"His Royal Highness, it is possible to use this thing, but is your method really useful? If it doesn't work, I'm afraid it will harm the country and the people!"

What Yuchi Jingde said was right, don't really use it, it's a waste of time and the life of a sergeant, that's really a sin.

"This is the horseshoe. After I finish it, you can try it again and see if it works!"

The crowd exclaimed: "Horseshoe?"

What it is?Is it the shoes of the horse?But how to wear it?Will it fall, and so on, all the questions are lingering in everyone's minds.

After research, Li Chengqian knew that Datang did not have horseshoes at this time. If this thing was made, it could save Datang a lot of money, and the eternal problem of horseshoe wear would be solved.

At the same time, it is a great thing for the front line.

"Yes! His Royal Highness, judging by the size of this drawing, it will take at least half an hour to complete!"

Yuchi Jingde was a young man who used blacksmithing as his profession, so it can be said that he was very proficient in the craft, half an hour was no more, no less, just right.

"You can call, call me!"

There are still some hot people here, Li Chengqian's delicate skin can't stay here for too long, he wants to find a cool place to stay.

So he left here.

"Brother, wait for us!"

The five princes also followed him and left like followers.

Only Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin were left on the field.

They stared at the drawings in a daze, and they couldn't think of what use this thing could do?

Finally Cheng Yaojin suggested: "How about I ask His Majesty to come and take a look together? Maybe they can understand the meaning of this?"

For some things, it is better for Li Shimin to be present.

"Lu Guogong, I think it's okay, let them come and have a look."

Yuchi Jingde agreed.

But Cheng Yaojin left the East Palace and headed for Tai Chi Palace.
