Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

After hearing Li Lizhi's exclamation, Li Shimin immediately revealed a look of surprise.

Even though Cheng Yaojin had said that there was no other discovery here, he still kept hope in his heart, and Li Lizhi's abnormality immediately made his imagination run wild.

then.

After simply dealing with the dirty things on his body, Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin came here quickly.

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin came to Li Lizhi's side first, and asked curiously.

Li Lizhi didn't speak, but pointed at the pony's feet.

really.

After careful observation, Li Shimin really found that the hoofs of these ponies were actually filled with shining nails, which were directly embedded in them.

Following these nails, he soon found a ring, which was fastened to the foal's hoof.

Holding the pony's leg, Li Shimin frowned and fell into deep thought

When it comes to the understanding of horses, he and Cheng Yaojin should know better than anyone else.

after all.

So many years of military career have taught them a lot.

"Father, will it hurt if you do this?" Of course Li Lizhi didn't know what these things were, she only cared about whether doing so would hurt the pony.

When she said these words, her eyes seemed to have moistened, as if she had felt the pony's pain.

"Probably not!" Li Shimin quickly comforted him softly. "If the ponies were really hurt, how could they be so relaxed?"

"It means that these things don't hurt them, just like we wear shoes, it's protecting our feet, right?"

He couldn't see Li Lizhi's sad look, and immediately began to explain nervously.

however.

Li Shimin may not have imagined that he actually guessed some of the reasons he made up in a short period of time.

Hearing what he said, Li Lizhi's complexion improved a little. Soon, she was attracted by the other ponies and went to play happily.

"Your Majesty, what exactly are these things?" Cheng Yaojin took this opportunity and walked over, "According to logic, there shouldn't be more of these things on the horse's hoof!"

"Is there any significance to this?"

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's question, Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully.

"This thing should have some protective effect, and it won't cause harm to the horse's body. Otherwise, these ponies would never be so relaxed!"

Although his explanation just now was to comfort Li Lizhi, what he thought in his heart was indeed the same.

just.

He didn't quite understand how such a small thing would work?

Cheng Yaojin nodded thoughtfully, looked at the horseshoe and thought for a long time but couldn't think of a reason.

finally.

They still set their sights on Wang Xuan not far away. As the housekeeper here, he must know all the details very well.

"Old Wang, come here..." Cheng Yaojin waved to Wang Xuan who was taking care of the newborn pony.

After this period of contact, it is obvious that the relationship between the two has become much closer.

If only Cheng Yaojin was here alone, Wang Xuan wouldn't bother to talk to him at all, he still had a lot of things to do, so where would he have time to mess around with him?

But after all, now that the emperor is here, he has no choice but to save face.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xuan wiped his hands and walked over slowly.

in fact.

When he walked over, he had already seen the two discussing the foal's hooves, and he basically guessed what they wanted to know.

"What is that thing on the horse's hoof?" Li Shimin asked with a smile before Cheng Yaojin took the initiative to speak.

really.

All they care about is what's on it!
Naturally, Wang Xuan would not hide anything, he clearly remembered that when His Highness left, he had explained that as long as the Emperor came here, any request would be satisfied as much as possible.

"Your Majesty, this thing is called a horseshoe!" Wang Xuan also squatted down, pointing to those iron pieces and nails on the pony's hoof and said.

"This is something His Highness invented. According to him, this small piece of iron can help the horse's hooves to reduce wear and tear, thus achieving a protective effect!"

Wang Xuan knew very well in his heart that both Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin should have a good understanding of horses, so he didn't explain too many specific things.

The fact is indeed the case!

After what he said, Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin immediately understood.

To know.

Cavalry is still very precious in this era, not only because it takes a lot of money to train them, but the most important thing is that the number of horses is extremely limited.

An ordinary war horse needs a rather huge process from training to entering the battlefield, during which the horse will suffer varying degrees of damage.

The most critical part is the horseshoe!
Running for a long time will cause irreversible damage to the horse. When the horse's hooves can no longer continue running, the horse has been completely useless.

In the memory of the two, ordinary horses can last for a few months at most, and then they have to find new horses to replace them.

Whether in the past or in the present, horses are extremely precious.

And all the while, they've been looking for ways to slow down the damage, but there's been no progress over the years.

It was precisely because of this that both Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin looked at the horseshoe in front of them in disbelief.

Could this little piece of iron and nails really be able to solve the problems that have plagued them all this time?

As if feeling the thoughts of the two of them, Wang Xuan explained again carefully.

of course.

Many things come from what Li Jian said at the beginning. Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin were fascinated by what they heard, and their faces became more and more excited.

If this thing is really like what Wang Xuan said, it can reduce wear and tear to a great extent, and can adapt to various complicated roads.

Then the help this brings to the cavalry is not a little bit!
"Your Majesty, if our army can be equipped with such things, then Datang's cavalry ships can set foot anywhere in the world!" Cheng Yaojin took a deep breath and couldn't help saying excitedly.

When he came here, he only intended to deliver the horseshoe, but he never thought that such a treasure was hidden in such a small place.

The key is.

This kid Wang Xuan never mentioned it to himself. If Li Lizhi hadn't discovered it by accident, they probably still didn't know the existence of the horseshoe until now.

"That's great..." Li Shimin was also thinking about it at this time.

He has always attached great importance to the development of the cavalry. Now that he has such a good opportunity, such a small thing can solve many problems, and the opportunity to reform the army has come...
