Two hundred and eighty-sixth horseshoes

Thinking of these things in his mind, Zhang Yue could only sigh heavily, and looked at Liu Jin without knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Liu Jin has a generous and kind personality. After so many days of getting along, Zhang Yue has already been convinced that the eldest grandson of the empire is really generous.

In Xinfeng for so many days, Zhang Yue had never seen him get angry with his servants or get angry.

It is indeed his luck to have such a leader.

But, it may also be unfortunate.

Just like now, Zhang Yue must find a way to wipe his butt and get this done.

And, it has to be done beautifully.

After shaking his head in his heart, Zhang Yue sighed: "This is considered to be a gain and a loss..."

When you have such a kind lord, you will naturally have to bear his occasional temperament and literary temper while enjoying the protection and trust of the other party.

Besides, Zhang Yue himself wanted to interfere in Lu Bode's affairs.

"I think how to solve this problem?" Zhang Yue thought in his mind.

This is naturally extremely difficult.

Because, even if it is just the Li family in Longyou, it is extremely difficult to deal with!

The influence and power of this family are unimaginable at all.

In particular, Li Yu's sister is also the favorite concubine of the prince!

The Li Yu and his sister and Huo Qubing had a grudge against killing their father. Their father Li Gan died under Huo Qubing's arrow!

This reason alone is enough to make the Li brothers and sisters hostile to Lu Bode, who was Huo Qubing's old subordinate.

What's more, Lu Bode and Li Ling's defeat have a direct relationship.

The Li family was afraid that they would want to eat their flesh and sleep with their skin!

The Li family in Longyou has never been a magnanimous family.

It can even be said that the Li family in Longyou has always been famous for their narrow-mindedness and flaws.

That was the case when Li Guang was still alive!

Li Gan completely inherited Nai's father's character, and even General Wei Qing dared to fight!

Now, they have taken the right to take over and control the righteousness. They want them to stop? How is that possible!

At the beginning, Li Guang even captured the prisoners who had been surrendered and kneeled down to surrender could all be cut off and cut off their heads as military meritorious service.

To solve this problem, we have to go to the Li family to face it head-on, and even have to fight with the old nobles led by the Li family!

"It seems that in a few days I will fight with Li Yu and others..." Zhang Yue thought to himself.

This month's Ji Chou (Thirteenth) is Huo Guangxuxian's banquet.

Zhang Yue has been invited to the banquet at that time, and he may be able to meet Li Yu at the banquet.

"Maybe I can go to Zhang Anshi to inquire about the situation before that..." Zhang Yue thought in his heart.

Zhang Anshi must have known and contacted more things than him, and many things that were not recorded in history books at all. This Shangshu Ling was as clear as a mirror.

The only question is whether he is willing to say it!

However, if it were Li Yu's affairs, Zhang Anshi might be very happy.

Because, Zhang Yue heard that Li Yu and Zhang Anshi had a conflict.

Zhang Yue was not sure what the conflict was, but one thing is certain that Shangshu Ling despised Li Yu's character.

………………………………………………

Until Li Guangli and others said goodbye, Zhang Yue was still thinking in his mind, and just sent Li Guangli and others out of Xinfeng City based on his instinct and inertia.

"Shizhongguan!" Li Guangli rode on the horse and suddenly smiled at Zhang Yue and made an invitation: "At the end of this month, there will be a banquet in the humble house of Qili in Chang'an. I wonder if Shizhongguan will be here at that time?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue came to his senses and hurriedly said, "You are so kind, how dare you not obey?"

"Good!" Li Guangli tied the reins, turned his horse's head, and prepared to leave.

"Your Hou!" Zhang Yue's eyes suddenly glanced at Li Guangli's horse. His eyes jumped and he suddenly chased and called him.

Li Guangli was a little surprised, but he bowed and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the Shizhong official?"

However, Zhang Yue walked forward and stared at his war horse, as if he had seen a peerless beauty.

Li Guangli laughed proudly when he saw this.

He is a horse lover.

Even in his heart, a good horse has raced countless peerless beauties.

Because, a good horse on the battlefield can make you one step ahead and even make you survive.

Beauty cannot.

And the horse he is riding now is the one he likes and is most proud of his many mounts.

It even has a name called "Treading the Wind".

It is a mixed race between Dayuan horse and Wusun horse in Tianmayuan. It has high speed and endurance, and the most important thing is that it is very human.

Since getting this horse, Li Guangli has been extremely loving and regarded as a family member.

He smiled and said, "If the servant is attracted to this 'wind' of my husband, please forgive me for not being able to give up my lover!"

If the Shizhong official only likes his concubine and treasure, he will give it to the other party without hesitation.

A woman can be exchanged for a newcomer’s kindness, and it’s a good deal!

But horses can't do it!

A horse is the body of a warrior and the basis for a military general.

Not to mention, this horse is still his family!

When Zhang Yue heard this, he smiled and said, "Yourhou has misunderstood, how dare you covet your beloved horse..."

He squatted down and stared at the four hooves of the war horse.

Li Guangli was stunned, what's so good about this horse's hooves?

Zhang Yue looked slightly respectful to Li Guangli, pointed at the horse's hooves and asked, "Can you please let the officials touch them?"

Li Guangli still didn't know what to sell in Zhang Yue's gourd, but he nodded and said, "Please please..."

The horse's hooves are not the sensitive part of their women. If Shizhong Zhang wants to touch this, he will not lose a piece of meat!

Zhang Yue was so excited that he reached out and touched the horse's hooves. The touch was cold. There was no doubt that this was the most primitive horse's hooves!

Although the style is rough, the parts of the nails are also very unscientific.

However, the technology of using iron to protect the fragile four hooves of war horses has emerged!

"What's this?" Zhang Yue asked Li Guangli.

"This is the palm of the hoof..." Li Guangli didn't care and replied: "It was Juyan horse craftsman who improved himself..."

"Ge Zhu?" Zhang Yue pondered slightly and knew what it was.

This is an ancient leather product, which was very common during the Warring States Period. The standard equipment of Qin officers in the Warring States Period was a pair of leather horns.

This kind of leather boot is actually a kind of leather boot.

By the end of the Qin Dynasty, leather goods even began to be used with the four hooves of livestock.

However, because leather products can't stand the trampling of horse hooves or cow hooves, most people can't afford it, so they are not promoted.

But unexpectedly, this gave the craftsmen inspiration, so the original horseshoe of human beings began to appear at this time.

Zhang Yue closed his eyes slightly, searched in his mind, and found that there were indeed relevant records in the information he had traced back.

For example, in the theory of salt and iron in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, there is a record of the trouble-tailed tail and palm hooves.

What’s more interesting is that Western horseshoes originally developed from leather horse boots.

Looking at the strange but novel so-called palm hooves in front of you, Zhang Yue's eyes were burning.

Since some people have started to equip horseshoes (although they look like the most basic horseshoes, with immature design and nailing techniques) on war horses, in other words, they can now produce useful and good quality iron tools.

Horseshoe seems to be just a tiny thing, but by looking at the big picture, you can see the level of iron smelting technology in the world.

"Honey, how much does it cost to hold the palms?" Zhang Yue asked, to be on the safe side.

Li Guangli laughed and said, "Why should the minister of the Shizhong ask me such a question?"

He raised his horse whip and said, "The Chief of the Secretariat should go and ask the Young Master!"

"I will only care about war, and I will be in charge of other matters..."

He dared not and could not control things outside of military affairs.

Zhang Yue listened and said, "Thank you for your advice!"

horseshoe!

He could have taken out the mature horseshoe plan of later generations based on the current Han family's palm hoofs and improved it.

Then, the Han family will be able to add wings to the tiger, and the Han cavalry will receive a great bonus!

More importantly, this thing will greatly reduce the burden on the people!

In fact, now when the Han army goes out of the border, in addition to food and grass supplies and military expenditure, the biggest expenditure comes from war horses.

Every time you go out of the frontier, you will lose a lot of war horses!

But now, Gongsun Jingsheng, the current Taipuqing, is useless except to make money.

The Han family's Ma Zheng had long been in chaos.

If you can equip a large amount of horseshoes, the losses of war horses will be greatly reduced.

……………………………………

Li Guangli had just left. The next day, the Shaofu Examination Office sent an official to Xinfeng and discussed with Zhang Yue about opening a new workshop in Xinfeng. Now, the whole of Guanzhong has known that Zhang Yue mortgaged Xinfeng's public land to the big merchant Yuan Guangguo and received a huge sum of 30 million yuan, and sold a bunch of bonds to Yuan Guangguo and other big merchants, raising 80 million yuan!

Now, why can the Shaofu sit still?

It immediately flew over like a goshawk that smelled blood.

A huge amount of 10,200 million is enough for Shaofu to open a workshop with a thousand people in Xinfeng!

There is no bureaucracy in this world who thinks that there are too many affairs, too many officials, and too many staffing.

For bureaucrats, the more affairs there are, the greater the authority, and the more organized the more benefits they are.

So the official sent to Xinfeng to contact him was of a high level.

He was one of the six chiefs of the examination order, Cheng Yuan, who was responsible for the workshop affairs.

Zhang Yue was naturally very happy about Cheng Yuan's arrival.

He immediately took Cheng Yuan around Xinfeng City and settled the address of the Xingongfang.

Cheng Yuan was very happy about Zhang Yue's eager hope.

He immediately patted his chest and promised that the dispatch and procedures of the craftsmen would be completed as soon as possible, and that the best craftsmen in the examination room would be sent to support "Changsun Construction Xinfeng".

After getting these things done, Zhang Yue invited Cheng Yuan to Xinfeng Official Office and set up a banquet to entertain the other party.

As a former civil servant, Zhang Yue naturally had a long mastered the culture of the wine table and the politics of the wine table.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, he said everything to Cheng Yuan, and he was almost like killing the chicken head to become sworn brothers.

"Brother Cheng..." Zhang Yue gently filled it with a bottle, and then smiled and said, "Yesterday, Haixi Waiting came to Xinfeng. When I saw Haixi Waiting mount, I saw the so-called 'palm hoof' nailed...

"Yeah!" Cheng Yuan, who was already half drunk, loosened his clothes and said with a smile: "What do Shizhong Zhang want to ask?"

"I dare to ask my brother, how much does the cost of the Young Master Mansion in the Palm Hoof?" Zhang Yue asked with a smile: "What is the point of iron used in the Palm Hoof?"

"The servant is asking the right person!" Cheng Yuan blushed, took a bite of beef, and said with a smile: "The official happened to be responsible for supervising the matter of the throne..."

"This palm hoof is an idea that Juyan veterinarian Zhang Wannian and others suddenly came up with a miracle when treating the sick horse. Later, they discussed with Juyan's iron official and began to try out several sets for combating the horse. It really worked miraculously!"

"Later, this matter was reported to Tingweiqing, who ordered the Xiaguan and the master craftsman of Dongyuan to order Guo Ke to supervise the matter..."

"It took three years to finally make a palm hooves that can be used for a long time in war horses..."

"It's just that the price is a bit expensive..."

"Because the iron used in this palm hooves must be fine iron! Ordinary thick iron and evil iron are useless!"

"So the palm hooves used by a horse cost more than a thousand..."

"The Young Mansion does not have so much money, nor does it have so much iron... So the palm can only be equipped with generals and vanguards at all levels..."

"Just like Ma Kai..."

Zhang Yue listened, his eyes were burning, and he had an idea in his heart.

He quietly filled Chengyuan with another cup, Zhang Yue raised his glass and said, "I met my brother and I ascended you at first sight, respect my brother!"

Cheng Yuan was flattered and quickly raised his glass and stood up: "How dare you, how dare you..."

I feel so happy and comfortable.

After all, this man named his elder brother is the only three minister in the Han Dynasty, and he is the legendary "Zhang Chiyou".

The destined big man in the future!

Cheng Yuan felt that he was so lucky to be able to cling to such a big shot!

Under the stimulation of alcohol, Cheng Yuan immediately patted his chest and made a bold statement: "The servant called the lower official and said, "The servant will not be able to repay you. If the servant is useful in the future, just give me the order!"

This is what Zhang Yue waited for!

As a former civil servant, Zhang Yue knew very well that in fact, middle and high-level officials like Cheng Yuan who were directly in charge of an important resource department were even greater than their superiors!

The King of Hell is easy to meet, but the little ghost is difficult to deal with. That’s the reason!

At that moment, Zhang Yue held Cheng Yuan's hand and said with a smile: "Brother, I have something to do now. I hope my brother will help..."

"Just Master, just give me instructions!" Cheng Yuan, who was almost drunk, shook his head and said.

"Can brother try to dispatch craftsmen who have made slaughter hooves when dispatching craftsmen this time..." Zhang Yue smiled and said, "In addition, I hope that brother will send more carpenters to Xinfeng..."

When Cheng Yuan heard this, the matter was simple and immediately agreed: "This matter is not difficult. After the official returns, he will choose the best craftsmen from each workshop and send them to Xinfeng!"

"In addition..." He lowered his voice quietly and said to Zhang Yue: "There is a batch of 'scrapped' iron materials in the examination room. The quantity is not large, only tens of thousands of kilograms. When he turned around, he asked someone to send him to Xinfeng..."

Zhang Yue listened quietly and poured him a glass of wine.

This is the power of Xiaoguan!
Chapter completed!
