Chapter 139 Another New Invention

The drizzle has just stopped, and a dazzling rainbow spans the afternoon sky.

The shooting range, which was a bit cold in the past, is now crowded with people.

Cheng Yaojin turned around temporarily and went to Tai Chi Palace to report the horseshoe.When the emperor Li Shimin heard the exciting news, he waved his hand and called all the civil and military officials to the racecourse to observe.

Under the wooden shed, Cheng Chumo stood at the entrance leading the horse. The original butt butt had been removed long ago, what kind of gravel, discarded patches were thrown on the ground, waiting for Cheng Chumo to go around a few times.

Under the wooden shed outside, Li Shimin was smiling all over his face, looking at the rainbow in the sky, feeling happy.

"A rainbow after the rain is quite hopeful and beautiful."

"Cheng Aiqing, I urge you to start, I hope this experiment will be like this rainbow, giving people a refreshing feeling."

Although the words were calm but extremely gentle, Cheng Yaojin, who had been neglected for a long time, silently felt a warmth in his heart, solemnly clasped his hands in response, and turned to trot all the way towards the entrance.

On the sides of the emperor are the central humerus, the Ministry of Industry, and the horsemen.

Looking at the figure at the entrance and the horses beside him, there was a lot of discussion.

"There is nothing special about this horse. Can it really shuttle through this low-lying area?"

"I think it's a bit difficult. Iron filings and slag from the Changsun's mansion are piled up on the field. Even the servants who loaded and unloaded have cut a few. Horseshoes running on it don't scratch their hooves. Who would believe it?"

"I believe it! General Cheng is a simple and honest person. During the years of marching and fighting, you have heard that he has said half a lie? He said that he can keep the horse's hoof safe, so there must be no mistakes."

"Who can tell clearly about this matter? Marching and fighting are one thing, and those horsemen are experts in horses. You can see that they are all frowning, and there will be good results?"

Hearing this, the surrounding figures looked to one side in plain clothes.

As a stablekeeper, his official position must be inferior. Even if he saw the horses that didn't seem to have changed much, they would only dare to cluster together and whisper to each other.

bang.

A gong broke the noise of the crowd, and the eunuch's shrill voice echoed in the huge horse farm.

"Your Majesty has an order, let's begin!"

Cheng Yaojin yelled at Cheng Chumo through the fence towards the area surrounding the track.

"Boy! Be good."

"Horses have never walked on these gravel roads and iron chip roads before. Be careful of falling down and reflecting light!"

Listening to the demanding father in the past, every sentence was a warm reminder, Cheng Chumo asked why he should smile.

"Father, don't worry, the child will live up to his mission."

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Chumo got on his horse, whipped the horse and galloped forward amidst the rising noise from the four seats.

With the whistling wind in my ears, I could faintly hear the exclamation gradually rising from the surroundings, and when I looked up, densely packed gravel debris paved the loess road.

Perhaps yesterday's training had learned from the past. Just as Cheng Chumo was holding the reins tightly, the horse leaped past, splashing stone chips, causing all four people to exclaim.

"It's passed! You are not afraid of sharp gravel, why?"

"It must be supported by something under the horse's shoe, and it can be so relaxed. This invention is really a great achievement!"

"Get out of the way, don't block my view, there is iron filings and slag in front of you, and you can be considered a real hero if you can pass here."

In the eyes of everyone, the horse's hoof stepped into the iron filings, and the sound of scrambling quickly suppressed the noise of the crowd, and countless bright eyes gathered in the running figure, pinching a hand

cold sweat.

While the debris was flying, the horse neighed high-pitched, and the speed did not decrease at all, and it took a few steps forward.

Everyone in the stands was shocked, and someone blurted out.

"What's the situation? Could it be a trick?"

"How is it possible, the horse is still walking like flying, where is there any trace of injury?"

Driven by curiosity, many people left their seats and squeezed towards the entrance.Li Shimin's smiling face was more or less like everyone else's, with curiosity.

The gravel and iron filings are like walking on flat ground. If it goes to the battlefield, it will not be an iron shoe?

In the eyes of his eyes, Cheng Chu moaned, slowed down the horse, turned over and dismounted.

"His Majesty."

"Please take a look."

Pulling the horseshoe, the shiny crescent horseshoe caught everyone's eyes, except for one or two iron filings added between the gaps, there was nothing unusual about the horseshoe.

Duan Zhixuan came over to pat the iron filings on the horse's hooves, looked left and right, and an expression of enlightenment appeared on his old face.

"Hey! This fucking is equivalent to adding a circle of iron hooves, no wonder it is so mighty, it dares to step on even a solid stone and a sharp blade!"

hiss~
There was a sound of inhalation coming from the crowd, as if the crowd had come to realize when the secret of magic was revealed.

"The Cheng family boy is amazing, he has such fantastic ideas!"

"That's right, adding iron to the hoof, this thing is already solid, why are you afraid of hard stones and sharp knives? It's a genius to think of it!"

"Look at the shape of a horseshoe. Not to mention passing water, it can also wear off the rust on it. Cheng Chumo, you have made great contributions to our Great Tang this time."

Li Shimin looked at the intact horseshoe and raised his head.

"Cheng Chumo, did you invent this iron hoof? Do you have a name?"

Seeing Bei's question, Cheng Chumo smiled and stood up.

"It's called a horseshoe. If it wears out, you can replace it."

"It's just that among the horsemen in the Tang Dynasty, we may need to re-establish an official position to control the replacement of horseshoes."

Avoid talking, there must be concealment, Li Shimin brushed his beard under his chin, smilingly waiting for Cheng Chumo's next words.

Cheng Yaojin knew his child's temperament, fearing that the child could not help but drag Li Xian out again, he took a step forward and smiled.

"Your Majesty, this horseshoe was made by Gou Zi and some friends after discussions."

"Previously, the Cheng family was looking for shops and wide land on Long Street, that's exactly for this reason."

hmm~
After a long pause, Li Shimin already had some guesses in his mind.

Earlier, it was Ke'er who offered the magical effect of coal, and he spoke vaguely.

At this time, the two father and son of the Cheng family came to show the horseshoe, evasive.

Ah!
I'm afraid it was Li Xian who was pointing behind his back, and this amazing move just now.

At this age, Li Shimin didn't point it out. At least this experiment was successful, and the problem of expanding the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty could also be solved.

Some veterans clasped their sleeves and bowed to congratulate.

"Your Majesty, the father and son of the Cheng family made this strange thing, but the Tang army is more powerful, enough to stand proudly on the top of the east."

"With this measure, if it benefits the people of Tang Dynasty, we Tang people will not have to worry about replacing horses, and more poor people will no longer have to live without horses."

"Your Majesty, I would like to take on the role of the Horseshoe Team earlier, so as to benefit the barracks earlier and reduce losses for us in the battle of Tuyuhun."

Li Shimin nodded slightly when he heard the praise in his ears, and his face was very happy.

"Go back to the palace and throw a banquet, to celebrate the great success of the Tang Dynasty, and also to celebrate the Cheng family's move!"

"I have even more joyful treasures that I want to share with you."

Countless pairs of envious eyes came together, Cheng Yaojin puffed out his chest, showed pride, and cupped his hands.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your grace."
