Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty
Chapter 135: The power of horseshoes
The invention of the horseshoe can be traced back to about a century BC, and according to legend, it was invented by the ancient Romans. Its biggest function is to protect the horseshoe, slow down the wear of the horseshoe, and help the horseshoe to hold the ground more firmly, whether it is riding or driving, which greatly improves the stability. It can be said that a horseshoe is to a horse as much as a good pair of shoes is to an athlete.
It's a pity that in the time and space that Li Xin knew well, such good things didn't reach China until the Yuan Dynasty, let alone the current Tang Dynasty, and there was nowhere to find it.
Of course, it was the first time Chen Yin saw horseshoes. He earnestly took the curved iron bar that Li Xin threw out in his hand, and looked at it several times over and over again. He couldn't see the mystery of this thing at all, let alone why there was Li Xin in this thing. That kind of effect.
"This thing... is it so amazing as you said?" Chen Yin finally raised his head and couldn't help but look at Li Xin and asked. Although this is a question, the tone is not doubt, but question. He really doesn't understand horseshoes.
Yes, Chen Yin never doubted whether Li Xin was lying.
This is the tacit understanding between smart people. Chen Yin knew very well that Li Xin would not lie about something so obvious, so easy to verify, and so important. After all, telling such a lie will not do any good for Li Xin at all, and it is purely thankless. If he really can't solve the situation, he can just go away in a big deal. Why bother to do so?
Li Xin smiled and said, "There is nothing to say, why don't Mrs. Chen go out with me to have a look?"
"Go out... look?" Chen Yin repeated suspiciously, not knowing what medicine Li Xin sold in the gourd.
Why go out and have a look? Is there anything outside the Chen family mansion?
With a full stomach, Chen Yin followed Li Xin out of the study, walked all the way out, and came to the gate of Chen Mansion. The carriage that Li Xin took when he arrived was still parked in the wide street outside.
This was the first time Chen Yin saw Li Xin's carriage, and he had never noticed it before.
"Four wheels, and they look weird... Is there any mystery?" Chen Yin asked first, pointing to the carriage.
With a smile, Li Xin explained the relationship between the front hook and the carriage, and briefly introduced the principle of the turning of the carriage, and Chen Yin nodded repeatedly. He approached Li Xin's carriage, touched the connection between the rear carriage and the front hanger with his hand, and praised it, "His Royal Highness Chu is really ingenious."
Li Xin smiled, did not speak, and said, "This is not the point. Let's ask Master Chen to look at the horse's hooves."
The coachman was very insightful. After hearing what his prince said, he stepped forward and asked the horse to lift up the front hoof so that Chen Yin could see the mystery clearly. Surrounded by so many strangers, the horse snorted anxiously. The coachman touched its head and comforted it.
Chen Yin slightly bent over, squinted his eyes, and finally saw that a curved iron bar was nailed under the horse's hoof, which was shaped like the so-called horseshoe that Li Xin held in his hand and handed him.
For a long time, Chen Yin straightened up, smiled bitterly, and said: "Such a simple method has never been imagined. His Royal Highness can think what ordinary people can't, and it is really amazing."
Just looking at the curved iron bar in his hand, coupled with the name "horseshoe" that Li Xin said, is indeed enough to remind people that this thing may be used on horseshoes. However, without seeing it with his own eyes, Chen Yin admitted that he would not have imagined that the correct usage of this thing turned out to be nailed to the horseshoe.
As the saying goes, seeing is better than hearing. After seeing the horseshoe nailed to the horseshoe, Chen Yin has fully understood why Li Xin said that this thing can extend the life of the horse to more than twice the original. -Nonsense, a hard iron bar is placed between the horseshoe and the rough road. Of course, it can protect the horseshoe and reduce its wear. Wouldn't the service life be naturally extended?
Moreover, if it is extended to more than twice, this figure may still be a bit underestimated. Even if it is extended to more than three times, it is not surprising.
Alas, if you really say it, isn't this actually putting on a pair of shoes for the horse? How come everyone knows to wear shoes, but I don’t understand when I come to the horse?
Chen Yin sighed secretly, couldn't help but glanced at Li Xin with scorching eyes.
Ordinary people may not know it, but Chen Yin, who is in a high position, is very clear that he can break out of stereotypes and use unconventional methods to solve conventional problems perfectly. This is a seemingly insignificant weapon, but it is actually extremely powerful. To say that it is worth a thousand dollars is an insult to it. This way of thinking is priceless.
And Li Xin is an extremely smart young man who can use this way of thinking brilliantly.
Although he understands that this attempt to bring Li Xin into the court has failed, the idea in Chen Yin's mind that Li Xin must be the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty in the future has become more intense and enthusiastic.
No, it is more than the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty. If it is trained well, it must be an eternal minister who can leave a heavy pen in the history books and is worthy of special books by historians!
Of course, Li Xin also noticed Chen Yin's fiery eyes, and immediately shrank slightly, and took a half step back without leaving a trace. Of course he didn't know what Chen Yin was thinking at the moment, but he knew that no matter what Chen Yin was thinking, it would probably not be a good thing for him, and it might cause some trouble again.
He coughed slightly to remind Chen Yin not to lose his mind, and then said: "About horseshoes, there are actually some things the juniors want to show to Master Chen."
Chen Yin asked: "What is it?" As an old fox, losing to the little fox is a bit of a shame, but he is not so lacking in mind and tolerance. On the contrary, he is in a good mood. After all, the better the young people, the brighter the future of Datang, and... the better Li Xin is, the happier Chen Youlan will be in the future, right?
Whether as a great minister of Datang, or as the father of Chen Youlan, Chen Yin could not have an aversion to Li Xin.
Li Xin winked at Wang Gui who had been following him, Wang Gui immediately understood, put his hand to his lips, and blew a long whistle.
"Lord Chen, please take a look." Li Xin said to Chen Yin with a smile.
Chen Yingang wanted to ask what to see, but suddenly heard a slight noise from a distance. When he listened carefully, he showed a slightly surprised expression.
It was the sound of horseshoes, and there were still two.
