Qin Shi Mingyue Taoist Master Uncle

Bei Chen said, "It's good that the king likes it, but the presents I brought today are not just these two."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was shocked, and then asked, "Oh, what else? Don't hide it anymore, take it out and let Gu see it."

At this time, he was full of interest in the gift that Beichen said, and the more surprises there were, the better.

Bei Chen said, "I have already given you the third gift, and you have already used it."

"The widow has already used it?"

Hearing what the other party said, Ying Zheng was also a little puzzled.

The saddle and the stirrup are obviously two things, and I have never seen the third one.

Bei Chen smiled slightly, and didn't hold back anymore, and said, "Your Majesty, why not take a look at the four hooves of this horse."

"Horseshoe?"

Ying Zheng's eyes were set on the limbs of the red horse.

Then he opened his mouth and ordered, "Lift up the horse's hoof."

After receiving the order, the guard on the side responded, then walked to the side of the horse and squatted down, stretched out his hand and raised a horse's hoof.

I saw that there was an extra piece of iron on the hoof that should have been bare.

"This is……"

After seeing such a thing, Wang Jian frowned with some doubts at first, and then his face changed, as if he saw something.

Beichen said straight to the point, "I call this thing a horseshoe, and nailing it to the soles of the horse's feet can reduce the damage to the horse's hoof and allow the horse to survive for a longer period of time."

Qin already had iron products, but very few.However, this kind of thing can be replaced by other metals.

Hearing these words, Ying Zheng's gaze changed instantly, and shock and enthusiasm emerged.

Then, he also squatted down, disregarding the honor of the king, he raised a horseshoe himself, and carefully looked at the inconspicuous piece of iron.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his other hand and stroked the fast horseshoe, feeling rather complicated.

Whether it is the design principle or the specific production method of this thing, it is not difficult, and it can even be said to be very simple.With his IQ, he figured it out quickly.

At this time, Ying Zheng had only one thought in his heart, and that was, "Why didn't I think of this idea!"

Although the horseshoe is relatively hard, it will cause considerable wear and tear after running for a long time.

Because war horses have to be trained frequently, and the intensity of exercise is relatively high, the rate of wear and tear is much faster than that of ordinary horses.

And once the soles of the horse's feet are severely damaged, the horse is considered useless and can no longer gallop on the battlefield.

As the most powerful country, Qin State consumes a lot of horses. Every year, an unknown number of horses are scrapped due to excessive wear and tear.

Especially in recent years, Qin has successively conquered several countries, and the consumption of war horses has doubled. This is undoubtedly a very huge expenditure.

Whenever I see the figures reported by the officials, my heart is bleeding.

However, for every country, cavalry is indispensable, otherwise they will be passive on the battlefield, and they can only be beaten but cannot catch up with others.

So for so many years, the kings of various countries can only grit their teeth and pay for this expenditure.

However, this problem that has plagued various countries for thousands of years has been solved, and the method is as simple as a small piece of iron.

Ying Zheng couldn't help feeling that if he could have discovered this problem earlier, then Qin would not have to lose so many war horses.

At this moment, Beichen said, "Now that Han, Zhao, and Wei have perished one after another, I guess Qin's next goal should be Chu."

"Chu is relatively powerful. If you want to conquer it, you will definitely pay a high price. Therefore, I will present these things to the king, hoping to make the battle against Chu go more smoothly."

In fact, he fiddled with these things a long time ago, but he never took them out.

After all, both saddles, stirrups and horseshoes are very easy to imitate. If they appear too early, they are likely to be copied by other countries.

Good steel should be used wisely. Chu State is the most powerful among the six countries. It is best to save the secret weapon until this time, and surprise is the best.

Ying Zheng's mood was agitated at this time, and thoughts flooded his mind.

Cavalry is much more powerful than infantry, but even in the mighty state of Qin, the number of cavalry is limited.

As for the reason, nothing more than two points.

First, the output of war horses is not high, and the annual wear and tear is quite alarming, not many can be active on the battlefield.

Second, both horses and cavalry need training. Since horses are not easy to control, it takes a long time to train cavalry.Seriously affected the number of growth.

And now the three things Beichen brought just solved these two problems.

It is conceivable that in the next few years, the number of cavalry in Qin State will definitely increase exponentially.

With this in mind, Ying Zheng stood up, walked to Bei Chen's side, put his hand on Bei Chen's shoulder, and said excitedly, "These three gifts you gave to the widow, each of them will be priceless. Just say what you want, and I will satisfy you as much as possible!"

Beichen heard the words and said, "Really?"

"You have no jokes!"

Ying Zheng replied with a serious face.

"In that case, please don't put your hand on your shoulder."

Beichen said calmly.
