Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

"It's true that I can't get you horses that are in service, but I know that there are many horse farms in the military, and they are full of horses that can't fight. I can guarantee that as long as you are willing to spend some money, you can get a batch of them yourself. Breeding war horses!"

Zhang Nuo frowned, what is a war horse that cannot fight?Is it the kind that is too old to go to war?

Even if he got this kind of war horse, he couldn't use it right away. Could it be that he really kept it and bred it slowly as Lao Du said?Then you have to toss for several years?

Du Ruhui could naturally guess what Zhang Nuo was thinking, so he didn't need Zhang Nuo to ask, he took the initiative to say,

"Only a small part of this batch of war horses are old and frail. Naturally, we can't give them to you, but most of the war horses are actually retired due to severe wear and tear on their hooves. Most of these war horses are in the prime of life, only five or six years old. Naturally, it was put on this horse farm for breeding!"

Speaking of this, Du Ruhui deliberately made a joke,

"Of course, if shopkeeper Xiao Zhang can repair the hooves of these war horses with magical means, they will definitely be the best war horses. After all, a war horse can serve for at most ten years, and they still have several years left!"

He was just joking, but Zhang Nuo's eyes suddenly lit up!

The damn thing is that it doesn't take much effort to find nowhere to find it!He also cultivated a fart horse breed, these ready-made war horses are what he needs!

Chapter 189 Zhang Nuo Blackmails People

Zhang Nuo really didn't expect that he would still have to rely on the horseshoe, a must-have magic weapon for ancient time travelers, to get benefits.

The main reason is that he really didn't expect the problem of horseshoe wear to be so serious in the army!

For the original lifespan of a war horse of about [-] years, since the horse has basically been trained and served since it was more than two years old, a lot of running has seriously accelerated the wear and tear of the hoof armor.

For war horses without horseshoes, as long as the hoofs are worn to a certain extent, the horse is basically useless and can only be used for breeding.

But for Zhang Nuo, this is not at all. As long as the hoof armor of this so-called waste horse is not so worn that the horseshoe can't be nailed on, then with brand new horseshoes, it can completely gallop on the battlefield again.

He originally thought about getting a horseshoe when he got the cavalry in the future, but he didn't expect such a good opportunity before he made a move, how could Zhang Nuo let go.

Looking at Lao Du in front of him, Zhang Nuo said with a smile,

"Old Du, it was you who said it yourself just now. You have to be responsible for matching me up. I want this batch of horses that can only be bred. I want as many as I want, and I can talk about the price!"

Du Ruhui almost got his breath stuck in his throat and couldn't catch his breath. After coughing for a long time, he looked at Zhang Nuo and asked cautiously,

"Shopkeeper Zhang, do you really have a way to make the horse's hooves grow back?"

Zhang Nuo smiled and nodded,

"If you agree to find a way to get me a batch of such war horses, I will tell you!"

Du Ruhui became anxious immediately, stood up abruptly, scratched his head and began to walk around in the box.

This problem is too big, it can even be said to be so serious that His Majesty must be alarmed!

If it's just one or two retired war horses, then it doesn't matter. As Minister of the Ministry of War, he, Du Ruhui, can solve it with a few words of explanation.

But now the shopkeeper Xiaozhang said that he could make the horseshoes grow back, and he could tell himself how to do it, so it wasn't just one or two horses involved!

Others don't know, but as the head of the Ministry of War, he knows it best. It's not just a horse farm. Datang currently has several horse farms that breed retired war horses, among which more than [-] retired war horses are raised.

If there is really a way to solve this problem, it means that the empire has at least [-] more horses invisibly. What kind of concept is this?

At present, there is no army in the empire that can have [-] cavalry!

This is why Du Ruhui is currently scratching his head. Since Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang is sure that these horses will return to the battlefield, the horses in his hands cannot be easily sold.

But if you don't sell a large number of war horses to the shopkeeper Zhang, how can you get the way to get the war horses back into service?

Zhang Nuo didn't care that Lao Du was in a hurry, instead he said leisurely,

"Old Du, you can discuss it with your old buddies and old relationships. I guarantee that my method is useful and easy to use. It can not only save the retired war horses, but also solve the wear and tear of the hoof armor of the war horses in service. The problem!"

"This is a great contribution to the Ministry of War! So, go and discuss with the Ministry of War, whether you want to sell me a batch of war horses, I will still pay for the horses, and the Ministry of War can still get a great credit, only if we have a good relationship There is such a good thing!"

Du Ruhui couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Zhang Nuo say that. Of course he knew that this was a great contribution to the Ministry of War. He himself is the Minister of the Ministry of War. Who else knows better than him?

But this is no longer something that he, a minister of the Ministry of War, can call the shots. Even if he is a minister, it is useless to shoot. It involves tens of thousands of horses in the entire army. It is not so simple that he can agree casually.

However, it is impossible for Du Ruhui to let go of such a good opportunity that can obviously enhance Datang's military strength and combat power. Going around here, it's better to discuss it directly with His Majesty.

Thinking of this, Du Ruhui stared directly at Zhang Nuo and said seriously,

"Shopkeeper Zhang, what you said is too important. It's not up to such a small person to decide. I have to go back and find someone to discuss. I guess I will come to you when the time comes. I will sit down later. How about we talk about it in detail?"

Zhang Nuo nodded noncommittally, and then dropped some bait,

"Yes, you can discuss with the Ministry of War, the price is easy to negotiate, and I can also give you a way to let you buy a large number of horses for nothing!"

When Du Ruhui spoke just now, he was stroking the strand of beard on his chin. When Zhang Nuo said that he could not only solve the problem of the existing war horses, but also get another batch of war horses, he suddenly got excited and pulled off a few beards. Grinning his teeth in pain, he couldn't care less, and hurriedly asked,

"Shopkeeper Zhang, are you serious?"

Zhang Nuo still smiled and nodded, but refused to say anything more!

Just kidding, the craftsmanship of horseshoes is actually unimaginably difficult. Even an apprentice blacksmith can do it as long as he has a little craftsmanship.

Seeing that Zhang Nuo was tight-lipped, Du Ruhui also knew that he might not be able to get any other useful information today, so after making an appointment with Zhang Nuo in the village outside the city, he left without hesitation.

Seeing Lao Du leave, Zhang Nuo smiled like a fox who stole a chicken!

Li Qingmei watched from the side, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and quietly asked Hongyu,

"This won't offend anyone, will it?"

Hongyu shook her head with a smile, and said seriously,
