Suppliers from both worlds have dominated the world since Datang!

Chapter 324 Li 2 was shocked! ! !

"Brother Zhuang Xian, is this what you call indestructible?"

Zhuang Zhou was so speechless!

Aren't you causing trouble?

"We haven't even done this yet!"

Zhuang Zhou explained:

"It has to go through a process. Once it dries completely, you can't even smash it with a hammer."

"Oh, how long will that take?"

"It will be ready by this time tomorrow."

This is not much cement.

24 hours is completely enough.

Li Er frowned and said nothing more.

In this case, let’s take a look tomorrow!

It was already dinner time.

Zhuang Zhou simply called Li Er and went to Taibai Restaurant to have a meal.

Li Er happened to have something to tell Zhuang Zhou about making salt, so he readily agreed.

Sudden.

Before they could go out, there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard gate.

The horse was frightened!

When Zhuang Zhou went out, he saw the tall horse that Li Er had ridden earlier, poking its hooves as if going crazy.

When Li Junxian saw this, he immediately stepped forward and pulled the reins.

It didn't take long to subdue the horse.

"What's wrong with this horse?"

Li Er explained from the side:

"Coming down from Mount Li today, I stepped on a sharp stone and my horse's hoof was cracked."

Zhuang Zhou looked for the horse's hooves.

Sure enough, there was blood flowing out.

and many more.

Only then did Zhuang Zhou realize that there were no horseshoes on the horse's hooves?

No wonder.

Hoof injuries are inevitable with horses like this.

"Brother Qin, our Tang Dynasty doesn't have horseshoes yet?"

"horseshoe?"

Li Er seems to have grasped the key point:

"What is this?"

Li Er had no doubt about Zhuang Zhou's knowledge for a long time.

When you hear new words at this time, you will naturally become interested.

Zhuang Zhou explained:

"Horseshoes are like putting shoes on a horse to protect the horse's hooves."

Ok?

Put shoes on the horse.

This sounds interesting.

"But how do you wear this?"

"Easy! Just make a U-shaped iron bar and nail it to the horse's hoof."

It's really simple.

But Li Er and Li Junxian obviously didn't understand.

Zhuang Zhou said no more and went into the room to get pen and paper.

I directly drew the shape of a horseshoe for future generations.

"Just make an iron bar like this and nail it to the horse's hoof."

Li Er nodded and saw the clues at a glance.

"Yes! In this way, the horse's hooves can be protected."

He said very excitedly.

Want to start building horseshoes immediately.

So he asked eagerly:

"Brother Zhuang Xian, do you have a blacksmith in your house?"

Zhuang Zhou shook his head:

"No."

"Why don't you even have a blacksmith in your house?"

Li Er seemed very disappointed and felt that it was very unreasonable.

For such a big mansion, there is no blacksmith.

But doesn’t Zhuang Zhou think this is normal?

After a pause, Li Er said:

"Li Junxian, go find a blacksmith immediately."

When Li Junxian heard this, he first patted the horse's head and said a few words of comfort.

Then he walked up to Li Er and said softly:

"Your Majesty, this horseshoe is of great importance. If we look for a blacksmith outside, I'm afraid the secret will be leaked."

Li Er also suddenly thought of the importance of horseshoes.

This thing might cause major changes in military power.

The Tang Dynasty needed it, and the Turks needed it even more.

This is of great importance!

"Your Majesty, this is the closest to Duke Lu's mansion, why don't we go to Duke Lu's mansion."

Li Junxian reminded him at this time.

"That's right! That's it. Brother Zhuang Xian and I will go to Duke Lu's mansion together, and you will instruct the blacksmith to do the work."

Originally I planned to go to Taibai Restaurant for dinner.

But at this time, Li Er's mind was obviously focused on horseshoes.

Then get down to business first!

The three of them went out again and went directly to Duke Lu's Mansion.

No prior notification.

Li Junxian took out a waist badge and showed it, and the boy at the door hurriedly ran in to deliver the message.

Not long after, I saw a big man trotting out.

It was Cheng Yaojin.

Seeing the gift, he smiled all over his face:

"Your Majesty, which fragrant wind brought you here?"

Li Er rolled his eyes:

"Stop talking about this, I have something urgent to come to you."

Don't be too polite to Cheng Yaojin at all.

He led Zhuang Zhou into the mansion.

Wait until Zhuang Zhou finishes talking about horseshoes.

Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Although this black charcoal head looks naive, he is definitely a man of high IQ.

Just imagine, Cheng Yaojin lived to be seventy-seven years old in history.

It experienced the rule of three emperors: Li Yuan, Li Shimin and Li Zhi.

And he had a good death under Wu Zetian's rule.

How could such a person not have a high IQ?

So don’t be misled by historical fiction.

This guy pretends to be stupid and dumbfounded, it's all just a facade.

As a general on horseback, Cheng Yaojin certainly understood the importance of horseshoes.

This thing is simply too important to Datang.

Of course, since it is a horseshoe.

That was even more important for the Turks on horseback.

With horseshoes, the wear and tear on the war horses is lower.

The cavalry's lethality will be directly doubled.

"Your Majesty, this matter must be kept secret and must not be known to the Turks!"

Cheng Yaojin said anxiously.

Li Er nodded, deeply convinced.

"Brother Zhuang Xian, I will leave this matter entirely to you.

I want you to make a horseshoe in the shortest possible time. "

Zhuang Zhou also understood the importance of the matter and immediately agreed:

"Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as there is a blacksmith, I will definitely be able to guide him to make it."

Cheng Yaojin immediately smiled and said:

"Don't worry, the blacksmiths in my house are all good hands."

Then send someone to find the blacksmith.

This man was young, probably in his early thirties.

He looks dark and has a strong body.

He didn't know Li Er either. Anyway, he knew that the people who came to this house were not ordinary people.

He had to salute quickly to everyone.

These days, blacksmiths are craftsmen.

A proper technical job, especially one that can work in Cheng Yaojin's house.

That craftsmanship is certainly a good one.

Zhuang Zhou showed him the horseshoe drawing he had drawn previously.

Then he warned:

“Iron bars need to be bent to fit the horseshoe, and the main thing is to leave small holes.

I also need to make horizontal stripes. Can you see if you can make them? "

"can!"

The blacksmith was obviously very confident:

"It's just that this hole is a little more troublesome, but it can still be done."

Li Er continued:

"Approximately how long will it take?"

"It's estimated to take two hours."

That's four hours.

This time is not short!

You can't just wait here for four hours!

"Okay! Do it quickly, I'm going to see something in four hours."

Li Er said hello, and the blacksmith bowed and left.

"and many more……"

Cheng Yaojin stopped him, and then said with a solemn expression:

"This matter must not be spread outside, but whoever leaks it will have his whole family killed!"

After hearing this, Zhuang Zhou realized.

Even though this guy looks cheerful, he is really capable of killing people.

And it kills people like crazy.

"Your Majesty, the horseshoe will take a while. It's rare that I'm lucky enough to be here today, so let me prepare some food and drinks!"

Li Er glanced coldly and said without hesitation:

"That's not it!"

Cheng Yaojin smiled cheerfully, showing no discomfort at all.

This is obviously an affirmation of him.

At this time, his eyes turned to Zhuang Zhou again.

If it weren't for the horseshoe proposed by Zhuang Zhou, it would be rare for His Majesty to come to the mansion.

I owe this brother a great honor.

I couldn't help but become a lot more enthusiastic.

Then, a slap was placed on Zhuang Zhou's shoulder, with a smile on his face.

Why does this enthusiasm make people feel weird!

"Brother Zhuang, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Oh, you said?"

"Look, His Majesty is coming over tonight, will you bring a few bottles of good wine to accompany him?"

Zhuang Zhou: "..."

Nima!

I dare you to treat me and let me drink, right?
