Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Looking at the shining silver horseshoe in front of them, and listening to Zhang Nuo's teasing words, Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were speechless as if being strangled by the neck.

For a long time, the monarch and his ministers looked at each other, and smiled wryly at the same time, the same thought popped up in their hearts,

"It's really incomparable!"

They are really convinced this time, this thing is different from those exquisite gadgets that Zhang Nuo usually brings out, those things are won by exquisite craftsmanship and superb skills.

In the words of shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, even if you teach you by hand, you can't get it out!

But the horseshoe is different now, it is simply shockingly simple, it is just such a small iron bar hammered into the shape of a horseshoe, even a craftsman who has just learned how to blacksmith can make several in a day.

This is not a question of skill at all, it is completely a gap in the brain, otherwise how could others come up with such a simple and practical method?

And I didn’t hear shopkeeper Xiao Zhang say how easy it is, people know how to wear shoes when their feet are worn out, why can’t this horse wear shoes when its feet are worn out?

Such a simple question, but no one in this world can answer it.

Li Shimin was the first to react. He stood up and tidied up his clothes, then gave Zhang Nuo a proper bow, and said seriously,

"Zi said, three of us must have my teacher, and my brother-in-law taught me a lesson today, thank you!"

Du Ruhui also made a bow at this time, he was really convinced, for these ministers who rely on their brains for food, this kind of gap between wisdom is what makes them most sigh and admire, because this thing is like this Obviously, if you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, you can't do it even if you try your best.

Zhang Nuo was a little embarrassed by Lao Li's behavior, so he hurried over to help the two of them up.

Well, Zhang Nuo was originally a character who respected me a foot and respected others. Now that Lao Li is so up-to-date, it seems that he has to be more popular.

Although Lao Li is a relative of the emperor, he seems to be a relative with no official position. Let Lao Li do more meritorious service and he will feel more comfortable in the future, won't he!

Chapter 196 The First Appearance of the Stirrup

What Zhang Nuo was thinking about was nothing else, but the stirrup, which was known as one of the must-have items for time travel in ancient times. This thing was a perfect match for horseshoes.

At the same time, it is also a weapon with simple craftsmanship and absolutely easy to use to enhance combat power. Like the horseshoe, it can be made without any special craftsmanship.

Anyway, the horseshoes have been handed over, so don't hide the stirrups at all. Instead of letting Lao Li and the others find out when you equip them, you might as well take the initiative to give them away in exchange for a big favor.

This old Li is afraid that he is still a collateral royal family who lives and waits to die and earns some money. He lives purely on the brand of the royal family. With these credits, Lao Li may be able to earn a title or an official position. , then when he goes to court by himself, there will be many acquaintances to take care of him.

So Zhang Nuo took the initiative to come to Lao Li's side at this moment, and said with a smile,

"Lao Li, you and I have known each other for a long time. Although you are the royal family, but seeing you running to me in the past three days, I am afraid that there is no good job for you. Just, brother, I will let you Make a contribution, don't say that you must change to a higher official, at least let you show your face to His Majesty again!"

"Old Li, even though we are both His Majesty's business partners and you are still a member of the royal family, you still have to make progress, and you can't be like a bastard. I don't worry about credit, and I will definitely have more credit in the future. But you are different, you can’t share some credits!”

"I'm still hoping to see more acquaintances in the hall in the future, so I might as well give you another credit!"

Li Shimin was so overwhelmed by Zhang Nuo's "sincere" words that he didn't know how to answer them, especially when Du Ruhui was watching from the sidelines, Li Shimin's face turned red from holding back, and finally he could only answer nonsense,

"Old Zhang, I really thank you for my brother!"

After speaking, he gave Du Ruhui a sneaky look, the old man suppressed his smile so much that his old face was no longer red, it was almost turning black.

Li Shimin thought why he couldn't just suffocate this old guy to death, his mother, this black-hearted guy might be laughing at me.

It's just that he can't help it. The shopkeeper Zhang really has good intentions. What can he do?Do you just show your cards and tell him you don't have to worry, as long as you enter the court, you can see Zhen when you look up, and you can find acquaintances everywhere when you turn your head?

What about playing a fart?It's already a showdown, so why not play wool?

However, he still wants to know, what kind of credit can this little shopkeeper give him directly, so that he can get an official position?

Zhang Nuo didn't care about Lao Li's reaction either. In his opinion, Lao Li was so excited because he lamented his generosity and brotherly love.

It seems that this thing of using stirrups as a favor is really done right, just mentioning Lao Li is so excited!

"Old Li, you should have brought a few retired war horses here today, let's go, let's go over and replace the horseshoes first, and then I will tell you how to make new achievements!"

Li Shimin also nodded, and walked out first. He also wanted to see how the horseshoe would work after it was installed. After all, no matter how well thought out something is, it is better to see the actual effect.

What Li Shimin brought over today were two pure black tall horses. They looked like expensive horses. If the hoofs were not badly worn, this kind of excellent war horse must be the general's favorite, and he would not leave the army no matter what. .

Zhang Nuo didn't hesitate, and went straight to work.

The front yard of Zhang’s mansion itself has a horse tie post. After the horse is fixed, it is necessary to shoe the horse. This is not a difficult task in itself, and it can be done with a few strokes of a small hammer.

If it is an ordinary horse, it may be a little troublesome if it has not been trained. However, these war horses that have been tamed and experienced the battlefield do not resist being with people at all, so they are particularly cooperative when nailed.

Zhang Nuo was also an acquaintance once and acquainted twice, smashing the four horseshoes of a horse with a few clicks.

Li Shimin was so envious, he went to Zhang Nuo's side to get another set of horseshoes, and he started shoeing another horse with his own hands.

Du Ruhui also leaned over to look at it seriously, after all it was the first time he used this thing, so he had to take a good look at it.

Zhang Nuo was about to hand over this method to them, so naturally there was nothing to stop him, and he wished he could relax a bit.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui, the monarch and his ministers, only realized after they got started that this thing seems to be really not difficult. As long as the position is adjusted, a horseshoe will be firmly fixed there with a small hammer. The parts of the entire horseshoe that are most prone to wear and tear are all wrapped in the horseshoe.

After nailing the horseshoes, Li Shimin led the horse and walked directly to the open space in the front yard. Hearing the completely different sound of the horse's hooves beating, his eyebrows were beaming with joy.

Become!

Hearing this sound, the two monarchs and ministers knew that the matter of putting shoes on the horse was complete. Only when the whole horse's hoof was completely wrapped in the horseshoe would there be such a crisp knocking sound.

Zhang Nuo has nothing to be excited about. After all, in his opinion, the success of the horseshoe is inevitable. The few simple pieces of iron on the two horses are not only useful now, but the material and craftsmanship of the horseshoes in later generations are nothing more than a little better. , virtually unchanged.

If it is not a good thing, how could it have been used for thousands of years without being replaced.

But the horseshoes were done, not the stirrups.
