He ​​is indeed a future generation of famous craftsmen!

Jiang Yan couldn't help but admire in his heart.

The more capable Ma Jun appears, the more Jiang Yan wants to poach him.

"You really guessed it?" Jiang Yan was not asking Ma Jun, it was just a statement.

The honest Ma Jun scratched the back of his head.

"Big, roughly." He answered ambiguously.

Ma Jun was not as excited as before, but instead stuttered.

Today I sat in the blacksmith shop waiting for him for a long time.

He had already figured out something about the purpose of this strange iron tool.

The main thing is that the holes left on this thing look like they were left for nails to reinforce.

It's definitely not nailed to people, no one can bear it.

As for armor, it's not very useful. Then it can only be animals.

And in troubled times,

There are only a few animals that have the greatest role and are most utilized, and there are a lot of them.

Anyway, it is impossible to use it on cats, dogs, pigs and sheep, it is meaningless.

"Now that you know it, then come with me. Take what you are fighting with."

Jiang Yan nodded to the smart blacksmith, turned around and walked out of the shop.

Ma Jun quickly put the iron tools into the sack and followed the opponent closely.

The mystery is finally revealed.

Even though I had already speculated, I could not hide my excitement.

Because it is already late at night, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble.

Jiang Yan led Ma Jun to avoid the patrolling city guards and wound through several alleys.

Then he returned to the inn where he and Diao Chanxia stayed.

Jiang Yan stood lazily outside the stable, curling his little fingers.

The horse Xiaobai excitedly bit off his own rope and jumped out of the stable.

It seems that whether a horse will bite the rope by itself in the future has become the threshold for distinguishing whether a horse's IQ is suitable for being his cow or horse.

"Put it on and bring the nails, right?"

Without looking back, Jiang Yan pointed at the little mare that was madly attentive to him.

He believed that the smart Ma Jun must have brought nails with him since he guessed the purpose of horseshoes.

As expected,

Ma Jun nodded honestly, then walked towards the little mare with the sack in hand.

There were hammers, chisels, and other tools in this sack, and he had brought all the tools he could think of that could be used by a meal guy.

I secretly thought that it was indeed the case, this strange iron tool was used on horseshoes.

The horseshoe is thick enough to hit this thing. It can’t be nailed to the horse’s head and butt anyway.

Xiaobai was originally very happy to be chosen by her "husband", thinking that her handsome and extraordinary "husband" would finally be happy for her.

Unexpectedly, I saw a tall and thick man approaching it.

He took out a strange-shaped iron object from the sack, a hammer and a few nails.

Looking at the posture, I want to hit myself.

It was so frightened that it wanted to kick this dangerous guy away, but then it realized that this person was a human brought by its husband himself.

He gave in and turned around, wanting to run back to the stable.

Jiang Yan, who has quick eyes and quick hands, reached out and grabbed Xiao Bai's tail.

Under the pleading eyes of the other party, he dragged him back to Ma Jun expressionlessly.

Then he raised his foot and stumbled without any mercy, and fished up with his other hand.

Then he lifted one of Xiaobai's hind legs.

"Be obedient!" Jiang Yan scolded with a straight face.

Xiaobai could only give up the struggle with aggrieved face.

My husband is too rude.

What exactly do you want to do to yourself?

I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running away.

This is not the case when two horses are shy.

"Jiang, Master Jiang is so powerful! He is really a good blacksmith!"

On the way together, Jiang Yan only told him his name.

No other information was given.

He didn't dare to ask without permission for fear of offending the other party's taboo.

Ma Jun didn't know how to address this mysterious guest, so he could only address him as "sir".

But because this mouth is straight and stuttering, I immediately said the wrong thing.

With Lord Jiang’s noble status, how could he possibly do such menial work as blacksmithing?

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Ma Jun became nervous and started to stutter again.

"It's okay. Hurry up and get to work." Jiang Yan didn't take it seriously and shook the hind leg hoof in his hand.

Completely ignoring the fact that Xiao Ma and Xiao Bai were blushing to the point of their necks.

This is not the emotion that a normal horse should have, it is too similar to humans.

However, Jiang Yan was not focused on Xiao Bai at this time and did not notice this.

As a person with a human soul and a horse body, he subconsciously did not regard Xiaobai and the others as the same kind.

At least that's the case for now.

When Ma Jun saw that Jiang Yan had spoken, he naturally took out his dick and started working.

Under Jiang Yan's guidance, the horseshoe was quickly firmly fixed on Xiaobai's horseshoe.

The whole process is not complicated.

Military horses like Qima Xiaobai have grooms who trim their hooves every year.

The trimmed horseshoe is mainly composed of two parts: living cutin and hard cutin.

The living stratum corneum is distributed with blood vessels and nerves and can feel pain.

But hard cuticles don't, just like human nails. They don't feel anything when burned with fire.

Ma Jun followed what Jiang Yan said,

First place the horseshoe's barb nails on the horse's feet, and then use a hammer to drive the nails into its ankle bones one by one.

The nails are driven diagonally into the lower part of the horse's hoof, and the force must be controlled so as not to penetrate into the cuticle of the living body.

Then the tip of the nail is bent downward and hung on the horse's hoof.

During the entire nailing process, Xiaobai didn’t even feel any pain.

Even the heavy blows of the hammer that shook the horse's legs were as comfortable as being massaged.

After nailing one horseshoe, Ma Jun did the same to the remaining three horseshoes without taking a break.

Jiang Yan also helped him pick up the horse's leg with great cooperation.

In fact, he can directly order Xiaobai to lift his legs.

But he was afraid that Ma Jun would not be proficient enough in doing this for the first time.

If Xiaobai is accidentally hurt, Xiaobai will kick him.

Ma Jun is a valuable talent of mine, and I still need his help in many things later.

If an angry Xiaobai kicks his bones to pieces, he will lie in bed for last month and a half.

Then my next plan will be ruined.

Compared to Jiang Yan's concern, Ma Jun was concentrating on his work.

Soon all four horseshoes were nailed.

Ma Jun wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up with a smile.

"Master Jiang, can you tell me what this thing is called now?"

His stammering is strange, but he speaks much more smoothly when he is happy.

Jiang Yan smiled slightly and put down the horse hoof in his hand.

Ma Jun didn't ask him what this thing was used for, but what it was called.

Obviously as smart as he is, he has already guessed the function of the horseshoe.

For Ma Jun, who likes to invent and create, this is indeed not difficult to guess.

"Horseshoes." Jiang Yan gave the answer simply.

Because this thing will be introduced to China by nomads sooner or later.

Horseshoes appeared in the ancient Roman period. But when records were recorded in China, it was already the late Southern Song Dynasty.

He was not so shameless as to forcefully hold it on himself and claim that he invented it.

If we meet someone from the west in the future, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if someone exposes his lies?

"Horseshoes? It's quite vivid." Ma Jun nodded in agreement.

Since the Qin Dynasty, horses have been equipped with iron bits and harnesses.

But it's the first time I've heard of it being armed to the hooves of a horse.

At this time, Ma Jun didn’t know that this thing actually wore out very quickly.

You have to change it every month or so. You will be tired later.

Because the hard horny part of the horseshoe is the same as human fingernails and will continue to grow.

If not replaced in time, the growing hard cutin will gradually change the angle of the horse's hoof bone axis.

As a result, the horse's balance is unstable when running and it is easy to be injured.

Jiang Yan would naturally not tell him at this time.

The travel expenses he had extorted from the prefect Shu Shao were now placed in the package on Xiaobai's back.

Jiang Yan took off the package, turned around and asked, "How much does it cost to make a complete harness for a horse?"

Ma Jun, who was going back to pack his tools, was stunned after hearing this.

It took a long time to realize what Jiang Yan meant by "doing a complete set".

"Big, probably including the cost. There are also labor and labor fees. Let me, let me think about it..." Ma Jun said hesitantly.

He was probably thinking about what price would be more appropriate for this gentleman.

It will definitely not work if the price is too high. If it is too low, your work will be in vain.

"Better it." Jiang Yan urged.

He cannot bear to see people grinding away.

If Ma Jun wasn't really a genius, he would have disliked the other person's stuttering.

"Sir, it's a total of two coins." Ma Jun lowered his head and replied.

He seemed very embarrassed about the suggestion of trading in silver.

This is all because Dong Zhuo secretly abolished the five-baht coin when he was in power, and then minted small coins to make money.

As a result, prices in many places have risen, and a handful of millet has been sold for hundreds of thousands.

Even Yangzhou itself has been affected.

Although Dong Zhuo is dead now.

But at this time, Cao Cao had not completely abolished small coins and restored the use of five baht coins.

Not to mention Yangzhou under Yuan Shu.

Compared with the unreliable five-baht coin, the value of precious metals such as gold and silver is still very stable.

"Okay." Jiang Yan calculated in his mind and expressed his acceptance.

So he grabbed a large handful of silver ingots and stuffed them into Ma Jun's hand.

"Too much, too much!" Ma Jun declined in panic.

"Not much. This is just the 20% deposit in the early stage." Jiang Yan smiled and forced the money into Ma Jun's trembling hands.

"I want you to help me build more horseshoes." Jiang Yan explained:

"I suggest you find more skilled craftsmen to help you. I'll leave it to you to control the skills."

After hearing Jiang Yan's explanation, Ma Jun was still shocked and couldn't close his jaw.

This is only a 20% deposit. It should be used to purchase materials for him.

But this pile of silver must be dozens of taels!

Who is Jiang Yan and what does he want to do?

If all this money is beaten into horseshoes.

At least several hundred horses will be used?

In the entire Shouchun County, I am afraid there are not so many war horses in the army!

Ma Jun even felt a sense of fear in his heart.

I feel as if I have been forced into an extremely terrifying conspiracy.

But he still couldn't find a reason to refuse.

A mysterious identity, a strangely conceived harness, and a huge sum of money...

Facing such an unpredictable big shot,

I'm afraid my life is just a matter of the other person's casual words.

How dare he, Ma Jun, refuse!

No matter how turbulent Ma Jun's heart is at this moment.

After Jiang Yan handed the money to Ma Jun, he walked up to Xiao Bai with a smile.

"Come on, Xiaobai. Dance for me!"

How can you know whether the horseshoe is good or not if you don’t jump a few times to try the quality of the horseshoe?

Of course, it’s more out of a fun mentality.

Anyway, Xiaobai is quite happy to cooperate with him.

He stepped on the horseshoes he had just put on and jumped back and forth in front of the stable.

Strong posture, graceful movements,

Deliberately show off your beautiful figure all the time.

Probably...

If compared to human beings,
Chapter completed!
