Chapter 73 Awarded to the Ministry of Official Work

Seeing that the two of them really didn't know, Li Mu felt a little happy. It was originally for the consumables to level up, but unexpectedly it became a small invention. Li Mu cleared his throat and showed his attitude of selling to Party B in his previous life. A story quickly formed in his mind and said, "This is a small experiment for kids. I don't know if it can be done. I hope all elders will correct me. When I was captured, I was feeding horses in the Turkic camp at first, and I hang out with horses all day long. Over time, I discovered something."

Cheng Yaojin was impatient and said, "Hurry up and say! What's the matter?"

"The rule of Turkic killing horses." Li Mu said: "Although there are many horses in the Turkic camp, they do not often kill horses. They will only kill horses when the horse's hooves are damaged!"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"Don't worry, you haven't finished speaking yet." Li Mu said again: "I thought the wear of the horse's hooves should be related to the age of the horse. The older the horse's horse's hooves, the more severe the wear of the horse's hooves, but after actual observation, I found that this was not the case. At that time, the Turkic camp gathered the remaining soldiers, and there were tribes from all over the place. I observed that the horse's hooves of the Gobi tribe were worn faster than the horse's hooves of the grassland tribe!"

"Another nonsense! Is it the same thing to step on stones and turf?"

Li Mu ignored it and continued: "At that time, I was thinking that horse hooves are the same. Because they live in different environments, the degree of wear is different. People also live in different environments. Why are there no such differences in the wear of feet?"

Cheng Yaojin answered again, saying, "Everyone is wearing shoes, you can try taking off the shoes!"

"Come on!" Li Mu finally responded to him and said, "That's the reason. People can wear shoes, why can't horses not? If you put shoes on horses, can't they resist the wear of their hooves like people?"

Cheng Yaojin subconsciously opened his mouth and wanted to answer the conversation, but when he heard Li Mu say this, he suddenly didn't know how to answer it. That's right, this is another nonsense, but the problem is, why no one wants such a simple truth?

Li Mu picked up a branch, squatted down and drew a horse's hoof on the ground, and said, "Please look at this picture. This is the horse's hoof." As he said that, Li Mu pointed to the horse next to him again, and then he placed the made horseshoe on the pattern: "The iron piece I made can just cover the place where the horse's hoof comes into contact with the ground. At the same time, it can also simmer the horse's hoof together to prevent the horse's hoof from breaking when the horse's hoof is stepped on. On ordinary roads, the hardest thing is sand, but the gravel is not hard, so it cannot hurt the horse's hoof."

After saying that, Li Mu clapped his hands and stood up, saying, "I thought it would be useful, but I haven't tried it yet. I don't know if it really has the expected effect."

This sentence is also a nonsense. It has been said so clearly. The fool knows that it will definitely work. Cheng Yaojin and Li Bi did not speak, and the servants present did not speak. They were not shocked, but were all thinking about why they didn't think of such a simple thing.

Cheng Yaojin took a deep breath, suppressed the idea of ​​doubting his IQ, and said, "Boy, this is the business you want to do with me? This is not true. Although you are clever, anyone can see it at a glance and you can't make money."

Li Mu waved his hand and smiled, "How can I make money with this? It's just a little cleverness with a flash of inspiration. If it can be useful, it must be known to everyone in the world. If there are fewer horses to lose, wouldn't it be a blessing for the Tang Dynasty?"

"What a blessing from the Tang Dynasty!"

Suddenly, an applause came from the door of the martial arts stadium. Everyone looked at the voice and found that it was Li Shimin who arrived. Eunuch Gao was behind him, and Li Ji followed him. Everyone quickly saluted. Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's not in the court, there is no need to be polite. Today I came here, someone asked me to discuss something with Li Mu, so I came here specially. Unexpectedly, I heard such a reply and felt very comforted. Li Mu is young, extremely talented, and can think about the country. It's rare, very good, very good!"

Li Mu quickly said, "Your Majesty praised you, I dare not take it. It's just a few pieces of iron, it's nothing. I'm just paying attention to it."

"Your dear, don't be too humble." Li Shimin came over, picked up a horse's hoof, looked carefully and put it down, and said, "Although this thing is simple, but no one thought of it after a thousand years. You thought of it, isn't this ability? Moreover, this thing is small, but it is of great use. Good horses are rare, and good horses have to abandon because of the wear and tear of horses. With this thing, I don't know how many good horses can save the lives of them. My Tang cavalry will also benefit a lot from it. This is a great contribution, and I should reward you."

"I dare not be rewarded by Your Majesty again. I am young and lucky to have your Majesty. The Supreme Emperor favors you and have been named a county marquis. I am very frightened and worried. I know in my heart that the minor achievements are not enough to support the position of Marquis. I just hope to share your Majesty more worries and be more stable. I am just a few pieces of iron. If Your Majesty rewards you again, I will not know how to face the world. I beg Your Majesty to never reward me."

As he said this, Li Mu was shouting in his heart, Li Shimin, you are the emperor of the ages, don’t be influenced by me, you must stick to your own opinions. The more you don’t let you reward, you must have this temper!

Li Shimin smiled and said, "There are many people who cannot reflect on themselves, so they often complain and pity. I am very pleased that you have such a cognition at this age. Don't worry, I don't reward you with titles and wealth, but I can reward you with an opportunity to display your talents. In the past few days, Mao Gong advised several times, saying that you are still young and cannot be awarded a high-ranking official because of your title. I also thought so in my heart, so I have not been awarded an official for you. Today I saw your ingenuity, and I suddenly felt that the Ministry of Works is very suitable for you, so I will give you a doctor in the Ministry of Works and take office tomorrow."

Li Mu was confused when he heard this. He wanted to know what the Ministry of Works is and what rank the doctor was. However, he could not ask questions on such occasions, so he had to hide his doubts in his heart and receive the order to thank him.

At this time, Li Shimin saw Cheng Yaojin and smiled and said, "Zhijie, you haven't been to court for many days. Why are you angry with me?"

Even if Cheng Yaojin was rogue, he would not dare to be arrogant in front of Li Shimin. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I felt a cold these days, and it happened to be a little bit better. The tomorrow minister will go to court."

Li Shimin didn't expose it, nor did he ask Cheng Yaojin why he appeared here. He nodded with a smile, and then said, "I came today to discuss with Li Mu for a private matter. Maogong, let me lend you a place?"

Li Ji quickly said, "Please, Your Majesty."
