Datang: Ten consecutive draws every week

After a cup of tea.

“Da-da-da…”

A sound of horses’ hooves like drumming came from far and near, and everyone stretched their necks to look forward.

Sure enough, he saw Li Xiaogong’s arrogant voice, and also heard the other party’s hearty laughter.

“The King of Hejian County is very happy, and it seems that he is very satisfied with the effect of the horseshoe.”

Du Ruxian touched his beard and asserted.

When the others heard this, the corners of their mouths rose a little, and the same thought appeared in their hearts.

In the next second, Li Xiaogong made a sharp brake, laughed and jumped off his horse.

“Hahaha, it’s very enjoyable, the first time I feel the feeling of galloping, it’s painful~!”

“Is it really that good?”

“If you don’t believe it, you can ride your own horse to try it, I promise it will be a windy enjoyment.”

“Hehe, then you’re welcome.”

Cheng Yanjin, as the second experiencer, grabbed the reins of the horse and rushed out.

Li Shimin didn’t care, anyway, there was already a person who experienced it here.

“Where did my cousin ride on?”

“There was a walk on the pile of rubble.”

Li Xiaogong’s decisive answer made everyone gasp.

In the cognition of the centaurs, once galloped on the pile of rocks, the horses were cold.

Now it is a miracle that it can actually carry a second person!

“Hey, it’s a pity that the horses were ridden away by Zhijie, otherwise the old man must surround him to find out.”

Li Ji complained a little unpleasantly, and welcomed a group of martial generals to express their agreement.

“Isn’t it?”

Soon, before anyone arrived, the voice arrived first.

Everyone’s eyes were colored with joy.

Finally came back.

So…

Cheng Yanjin dismounted, and everyone surrounded the horses to check the hooves.

“The King of Hejian County did not exaggerate, and the horse’s hooves are intact.”

“Hahaha, Your Majesty Lao Cheng guarantees that with the horseshoe of the war horse, we don’t have to be afraid of the Turks anymore.”

“That’s right, the horse that will be fitted with a horseshoe will be more than thirty percent faster.”

After Li Ji checked the horse’s hooves, he was overjoyed to report the good news to the emperor.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yanjin and Li Xiaogong dropped assurances one after another.

When Li Shimin heard this, he could no longer bear the joy in his heart, and looked at the warrior who brought all this – Li Yuanfang with excitement.

“Good, good, good!”

“Sure enough, I didn’t believe the wrong person, and the ninth brother made great achievements for my Great Tang.”

Li Yuanfang made a ‘sigh of relief’.

“I succeeded, it turned out that I was right, horses are the same as people, everyone needs a pair of ‘shoes’ that fit.”

“Hehe, then this shoe doesn’t need to be in your name.”

Changsun Wuji suggested with a smile.

Li Yuanfang felt a chill and shook his head quickly.

“No, no, it’s not necessary, the iron bar is nailed to the horse’s hoof, and it is better to call the horseshoe directly, both vivid and easy to remember.”

“Poof, ha, look at what scares you, the auxiliary machine is joking.”

When Li Shimin saw such a funny scene, he couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore, and laughed out loud on the spot.

Li Yuanfang was laughed all over his head, and he didn’t want to speak for the time being.

The generals tested the speed of the horses one by one, and Li Shimin galloped around on horseback.

After coming back…

Li Shimin solemnly asked Li Yuanfang.

“Ninth brother, the principle of Xu is that merit must be rewarded, and those who have done must be punished.”

“Horseshoes are too important to my Great Tang military, and this credit does not need to be small in the invention of salt and sugar in my eyes.”

“Say, what kind of reward do you want, a restaurant is not enough.”

Li Yuanfang was slightly stunned, looked left and right at the others, and saw that they all had expressions of approval, and knew that he had to speak.

“The research materials needed by the Gewu Academy, the imperial court needs to help me find them first, and I must not delay it under any excuse, okay?”

“Oh, I don’t ask for things from the imperial court for nothing, I will pay for them.”

In ancient times, the monarchy was supreme, and Li Yuanfang didn’t think about simply tax-exempting or something, but more money is a number, and the emperor has no money in his pocket, so he will become a fat sheep to be cut off with a list of crimes.

If you honestly pay taxes, you should pay the ‘protection fee’ to the imperial court, so that if someone comes to make trouble on their own occasion, they can also rightfully seek the protection of the official government.

When Li Shimin heard this, he was very moved in his heart, and agreed to Li Yuanfang’s request almost without thinking.

“Hahaha, I have a lot of things in the Tang Dynasty, but if you personally propose to buy, I guarantee that the imperial court will make it up for you in the shortest possible time, what do you think Ai Qing thinks?”

“The little horseshoe can save me a huge amount of military expenses for the Great Tang, and Weichen thinks that it is less rewarded.” Shangshu Li Jing of the military department said.

Every year, the war horse in the war horse consumes money, and every martial general who has learned about it is extremely painful, so he really feels that the reward is not worth it.

“That’s exactly what the end will feel.” The corners of Li Ji’s mouth twitched slightly, and he really thought that Li Yuanfang was a little stupid.

Who knows, Li Yuanfang played a huge advantage in acting, and he was stunned that he did not receive this love.

Why?

People must have a conscience, and do not be too greedy.

“Brother Huang, just do as I say, and forget about the excess.”

“Good.”

Li Shimin felt that the other things also made sense, the reward requested by the ninth brother was too shabby, and it was indeed a little less than the great skill of the horseshoe.

However, he was not prepared to contradict him, but began to calculate other ways to compensate.

For example, he has now decided on a strategy to attack the Turks, offering horseshoes at such a critical moment.

Once the war against the Turks is won, then the battle must be given a share of credit to the head of the ninth brother.

Obviously, a few people had already understood the emperor’s mind from the small movements in Li Shimin’s hands, and immediately agreed with a smile of approval.

At this point, the reward fell by two, but Li Shimin suddenly diverted from the topic.

“Okay, today you have made a great contribution, now do you continue to discuss political affairs with Xu Hui Palace, or go back to the Ge Yuan?”

“Brother Chen, go back to the Ge Yuan.”

Li Yuanfang decisively chose not to participate in political affairs, because the process of carrying out any political affairs means trouble, and he does not feel that there is anything wrong with being a handshaker.

Next, everyone returned to the city under the escort of the forbidden army, and their trip also attracted the attention of many people.

Unfortunately, this time, all the travelers’ mouths were very strict, and no one detected any clues.

This is all because before the return trip, Li Shimin warned everyone and issued a gag order.

The horseshoe improved the combat ability and marching speed of the Great Tang cavalry, and now that the problem of military food after the autumn harvest was solved, the Great Tang could directly attack the hatred of the Turkic Weishui Alliance.

For this war, the Cham rice purchased by the caravan has been planted in suitable areas, but it is currently kept secret.
