Chapter 663 Horseshoes

Yan House.

When Yan Qinghe came back, Yun Yiyi was sitting with the cubs by the garden to bask in the sun.

Yan Dashuang and Yan Xiaoshuang were squatting in a corner watching the crickets fight. Yan Xiaoshuang was expressionless and pretended to be cold, but now he was a little bit interested in watching it, and he looked like a child naivety.

Yan Dabao couldn't stop, because the big cubs ignored him, so he ran to catch the butterflies. The little short legs were hopping, and he was quite active.

So, the only child beside Yun Yiyi was Yan Xiaobao, and this cub was sitting next to her, with black eyes rolling around, very agile, obedient like a doll.

Yun Yiyi looked at it and felt happy, she stroked Xiao Zai Zai's braid: "Xiao Bao, is it hot?"

A few days ago, it rained continuously for a few days, and the sun was rare today, but it was a bit hot.

She was a little worried that the child would not be able to bear it.

"Mother, Xiaobao, no, it's hot." Yan Xiaobao paused after speaking, which made Yun Yiyi amused.

She deliberately asked: "Is it hot or not? You should make it clear."

As soon as Yan Qinghe came back, he saw Yun Yiyi bullying Xiao Zai Zai, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

He ordered the kitchen to bring a plate of tomatoes to relieve the heat and put it next to Xiao Zai Zai.

Yan Xiaobao's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

She likes this tomato the most, it is sour and sweet.

Seeing Xiao Zai Zai squinting his eyes, Yan Qinghe smiled.

Yun Yiyi could tell at a glance that he had something on his mind, pulled him down to bask in the sun, and casually asked, "Qinghe, what's wrong?"

"Hey, I can't hide it from you even if I wanted to. I really made you guess right, my lady." Yan Qinghe lay on the chair with his hands behind his neck.

Yun Yiyi turned to look at him: "Tell me, don't underestimate me."

"It's not something that can't be said, you know the iron cavalry of the Great Chu Kingdom?"

Seeing Yun Yiyi nodded, Yan Qinghe continued: "We also have war horses in the Great Zhou Kingdom, but we can't compare how powerful they are. I just wonder if there is anything that can make this horse more stable. There are also more chances.”

"That's it?" Yun Yiyi raised her eyebrows.

Why did she think it was important, and that was it?
"That's it." Yan Qinghe laughed suddenly, "How did I forget that you are such a talented person? Tell me, what good idea did you think of?"

"It's not a good idea, but there is something that can help you with the problem you mentioned."

"what?"

Yun Yiyi rubbed her sleepy eyes: "Horseshoes."

"what is that?"

"An iron hoof-shaped object bound on the horse's hoof. This kind of thing can not only protect the horse's hoof, but also make the horse's hoof walk more firmly, which is very helpful for riding."

"Can it hurt the horse?"

"Of course not. If it hurts, why do it?"

She said it casually, but Yan Qinghe's blood boiled when he heard it.

"Is what you said true?"

If there is a way to this thing, it will be saved.

"Of course it's true, when have I lied to you?" Yun Yiyi rolled her eyes.

"How long will it take Ma'am to make this?"

"Are you in a hurry?"

"The sooner the better."

"Okay, I'll draw you a blueprint, take it and find someone to build it, and when it's done, I'll show you how to do it." Seeing his anxious look, Yun Yiyi stopped lying down.

She called someone to bring a pen and paper, and she drew very slowly, lest they would not understand, she tried to be as detailed as possible, and marked it clearly on the paper.

Yan Qinghe took the design drawing as if he had found a treasure, and excitedly wanted to discuss it with the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Yun Yiyi is a woman, so it is inconvenient to participate in the discussion, so he will go.

Here, when Yan Qinghe came over with the blueprints, Minister of the Ministry of War still looked sleepy.

He is getting old, and he goes to court so early every morning, and every time he goes to court, he just goes back to sleep.

Seeing Yan Qinghe coming here, he was still a little not sober.

"Master Yan, do you still have something to discuss? The old man is a bit sleepy, how about a few hours?"

"No, don't sleep yet! I have something to show you." Yan Qinghe hastily handed over the blueprint.

Minister of the Ministry of War saw that he was getting a little out of control, afraid of missing something, so he looked at the paper carefully.

Looking at him, his expression changed: "This, what is this?"

"Horseshoes are things used on horseshoes. With this thing, we will not be afraid of their iron cavalry when we fight against Chu." Yan Qinghe smiled slightly.

"This...how could it be?" The Minister of the Ministry of War opened his mouth wide.

This kind of thing is unheard of.

And, what?Can you still order something on the horseshoe?
Don't horses hurt?
What if I get hurt?
Originally, there were few war horses...

Yan Qinghe knew that the Minister of the Ministry of War could not believe it.

He actually has a little bit, but Yun Yiyi personally assured him that he didn't believe in himself, but he believed in Yun Yiyi.

As long as she said there was no problem, then there must be no problem with this matter.

He had no doubts, and was deeply determined.

"I know that adults may not believe it, but it doesn't matter. Let's go to a craftsman to make it first. Don't we know after we try it?" Yan Qinghe calmed down and analyzed the pros and cons.

The Minister of the Ministry of War also felt that he had made a fuss when he heard it.

When something is done, you will know if it will work.

It is useless to guess here and there, you have to practice.

He has been Minister of the Ministry of War for so many years, and he has seen many weapons he has made. This drawing is very precise. If it is to fool people, it will definitely not be designed like this.

So, he can be trusted, right?

The Minister of the Ministry of War was very efficient in his work. After washing his face with cold water, he didn't go back to sleep.

He hurriedly went to the Ministry of War and called a few skilled craftsmen over to show them this blueprint.

The craftsmen were a little confused when they were called over. They heard that they were going to order horses.

This kind of thing is a joke.

They were still sneering in their hearts, but when they took the blueprint, their originally sloppy eyes froze and became very serious in an instant.

Yan Qinghe raised his eyebrows, it seems that what Madam took out was a bit shocking.

"My lord, may I ask where this piece of paper came from?"

"What's wrong?" Yan Qinghe didn't answer, fearing that there might be something wrong with the blueprint, lest Yun Yiyi get hurt.

"It's more than inappropriate! It's a big inappropriate!" A craftsman stared wide-eyed, "The little man has never seen such a precise design. The little man wants to meet the person who drew this blueprint and ask him how he came up with it." of."

Hearing this, Yan Qinghe felt a little relieved.

"That's right, I've never seen this blueprint before. It's really exquisite." Another craftsman also echoed.

Yan Qinghe smiled but said: "Go and make it first, and when it is finished, I will take you to see this expert."

The craftsman really cared about the matter of the master, he quickly said: "Thank you, sir."

"How long will it take to make this?"

Knowing that he was in a hurry, the craftsman said: "Originally, this kind of work would take at least seven days, but the design drawings brought by the adults are very detailed, and the work can be completed tomorrow at the most."

"Okay, you can take it directly to Yan's Mansion tomorrow after you finish it, and I'll take you to meet this expert, and if you have anything you want to ask then, just ask." Yan Qinghe curled his lips, smiling lightly.

The craftsman nodded again and again, picked up the blueprint and took a group of people ready to make it.

Yan Qinghe and the Minister of the Ministry of War made an appointment to bring a horse to his house the next day, and then went back to catch up on sleep.

Court the next day.

The eunuch in charge read out: "If there is something to do, go to court, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court."

After a while of silence, Yan Qinghe stood up waiting for the cannibalistic eyes of the crowd.

The emperor was very face-saving: "Yan Aiqing, what do you want to report?"

Yan Qinghe played: "Reporting to the emperor, I have thought of a way to make my country's war horses stronger than the big Chu country."

As soon as the voice fell, the ministers boiled.

The emperor hurriedly said: "Yan Aiqing, don't be so tight-lipped, come and listen to me."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I let the craftsman make it yesterday, and the result will be produced today."

Just as he was talking, a young eunuch came outside the hall, and the man behind him was yesterday's craftsman.

"Master Yan, this is something you asked the villain to make. Now can you tell who the master is?" After the craftsman saluted, he handed the finished horseshoe to Yan Qinghe, with a somewhat excited expression. Due to the presence of the emperor, His voice is small.

"Just wait a moment." Yan Qinghe smiled.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is the method." As he spoke, he held it up high, and the chief eunuch quickly took it and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor looked a little confused: "What is the use of this thing?"

"This thing is called a horseshoe. Binding this thing to the horse's hoof can protect the horse's hoof and make riding more secure." Yan Qinghe said calmly.

Everyone was shocked.

The Prime Minister on the right came out first, and said righteously: "It's nonsense! How can this thing be ordered on the horse's hoof? What an important material a war horse is, how can you allow it to be ruined!"

Prime Minister Zuo smiled and didn't take it seriously: "Prince Right is a bit alarmist, let's just listen to Master Yan's words."

Only he himself knew the shock in his heart.

Iron can also be ordered on horseshoes, which is simply unheard of and unheard of.

The emperor was also shocked.

He thought it was some method, but he didn't expect Yan Qinghe to give him such a big surprise.

It's not that the horse is unconscious, how could it not hurt to fix the iron sheet on the horse's hoof?

Besides, how can you fight after you have injured your horseshoe?
This time, Yan Qinghe was too nonsense.

The emperor frowned and disagreed a little: "Yan Aiqing, this is too shocking! Who came up with this method? I want to listen to the truth."

Yan Qinghe expressed his calmness: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this is the solution Mrs. Weichen came up with. We believe that she is not talking nonsense. No matter how much I talk about this matter, I might as well do it for you to see."

The emperor was startled, it turned out to be that Mrs. Yan.

A woman actually has such strange ideas.

Thinking of what he heard before, he suddenly felt that maybe it wasn't a scam, what if this thing is really useful.

Thinking of this, he whispered to the chief eunuch.

But after a while, the chief eunuch said: "Come here, Mrs. Xuanyan, Mrs. Yun, has entered the palace."
