Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

But in fact, the year of participating in the war was less than three years, and most of the horses were eunuchs.

Young horses can be used to fight, while older ones can be used to pull goods.

This is nothing, the most troublesome thing is actually the wear and tear of the horseshoe.

"[-]% of the war horse wasted." Fang Xuanling looked distressed.

"This... so much!?" Li Shimin showed a look of embarrassment at the moment.

Li Yuan got [-] Turkic war horses, [-] horses in the Sui Dynasty, and [-] horses, which were the foundation of his family.

During the Zhenguan period, horses were vigorously raised, and it was claimed that there were 70 horses, so that the price of a horse was only one Juanbu.

70, not all of them are in service, but [-]% of the loss is at least [-] to [-] horses.

This amount is quite a lot! !

"My love, is there a solution?" Li Shimin asked Baiguan.

"Your Majesty, according to the old minister, why not follow the method of previous years?"

Changsun Wuji stood up and replied.

After all, this question is an old-fashioned question, but the final result is to be sold. If it cannot be sold, it can only be killed for meat.

"The king of Wei is going to court for the first time, what's your opinion!?"

千.!寻!?小?,说.资;:源;中:?转:?裙..2;,0"6::8!'5:!6!0'5?.8　　李世民点了点头，显然不想在这个问题上浪费太多的时间。

Li Tai smiled slightly, and said to Li Shimin, "Why don't you put shoes on the horse!?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Li Shimin and all the officials laughed, even Xiao Si laughed.

Li Mingda smiled kindly and said to Li Tai: "Brother Huang, horseshoes are different from human feet. Horses don't have soles, so they can't wear shoes."

"Have you ever tried it?" Li Tai asked Li Mingda with a smile.

"Hmph, is it worth trying? Brother Huang, is he joking?" Li Mingda rolled his eyes and said coquettishly.

"You haven't tried it, how do you know it won't work?" Li Tai asked with a smile.

At this time, Zhu Suiliang asked in difficulty: "Could it be that King Wei has a way to put shoes on horses?"

"Could it be that horses can't wear shoes?" Li Tai raised his eyebrows and said to Zhu Suiliang, "Could it be that you have tried it too?"

Zhu Suiliang saluted and said to Li Tai with reason and evidence.

"Of course I haven't tried it, but it's not recorded in the records of "The Art of Equestrianism", it's only mentioned in the Art of War.

The horseshoes are wrapped in cloth, the tails are tied with bamboo branches, and a strong army makes a surprise attack. They don't hear the sound of the horseshoes, don't see the horseshoe prints, come and go without a trace, they can be called strange soldiers. "

"Your Highness, have you ever been satisfied?"

Li Tai smiled, shook his head and asked, "Have you ever tried it yourself?"

Before Zhu Suiliang could answer, Kong Yingda stood up and said.

"Your Highness, I don't think you should waste your time on such nonsense as horses wearing shoes.

Please Your Majesty judge. "

Li Shimin also frowned and put shoes on the horse. He did this kind of thing himself, because he was born as a general, but the facts were not ideal.

"Could it be that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all on paper??"

Speaking of Li Tai's voice, he directly mocked everyone.

"I tried it, but it didn't work at all." At this time, Yu Chigong stood up and said.

"Why not!?" Li Tai asked Yu Chigong, looking at the dark face and thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him.

Yuchi Gong began to explain.

"If the horse's hoof is tied tightly with cloth, the blood cannot circulate, and the horse will be useless.

If the tie is loose, the horse's hoof tramples, the gravel and sand wear away, and it will fall off directly.

Even if it is used as a surprise soldier, it won't take long. "

In fact, cloth is tied to the sound of the horse's hooves to mask the sound of the horse's hooves, and bamboo strips are tied to the tail.

While it can cover up the sound, it can also clean up the horseshoe prints, come and go without a trace, and can be used as a surprise soldier.

But the actual operation is not ideal. If the horse's hoof is not bloody after being helped for too long, the horse will be useless.

If the tie is loose, it will fall off directly, and it will be slow and easy to wear when exercising, and it can only be used when used as a surprise soldier.

"Was King Wei ever satisfied!?" Kong Yingda looked at Li Tai with an unkind expression.

He didn't like this man who didn't follow the rules at all.

Li Tai nodded, looking at Kong Yingda and said.

"Of course I am satisfied. It seems that there are not only people who talk about wars on paper."

Kong Yingda's face remained unchanged, but there was anger in his eyes.

"I don't know what the king of Wei has to say, why don't all the officials listen to it?"

You must know that you are a descendant of the sage Confucius, when did you suffer this kind of anger! !

The two couldn't stop arguing, and neither could convince the other.

But obviously, all the officials thought that Li Tai had lost, because Yu Chigong even spoke out about his shortcomings.

Is this not a loser?

Even Li Shimin was no exception, he said with encouragement in his eyes.

"King Wei, don't be a fool, everyone here is your uncle and uncle, and no one will make fun of you if you say it."

CHAPTER 13 SHOOTING THE HORSE

Li Tai also stopped being a joke, and explained the horseshoe clearly in simple words as much as possible.

"The horseshoe is divided into three parts, the upper part is the bone and flesh part, the middle part is the joint part, and the bottom part is the hard and painless horseshoe.

Although horseshoes are hard, running day and night, sand and stones are worn away, and mud and water are soaked in them. Even though they are hard, they will eventually be polished one day.

When the horseshoes are completely worn away, half of the horse is useless, and it has to wait for it to grow back. "

After all, Li Tai glanced at Kong Yingda.

"These truths are known to everyone, but what does King Wei mean?"

"This king is thinking that rubbing the horse's shoe will not hurt." Li Tai raised his brows and said.

Kong Yingda did not show any weakness, and replied logically.

"Of course, horses don't feel pain. The horse's shoe is said to be a shoe, but it should actually be a hard bone."

Li Tai said to Kong Yingda with a smile.

"Then, this king is thinking, since the horse's shoe is hard bone, can it be nailed with a piece of iron.

In this way, it is not the horseshoe that wears out, but the iron that is fixed on the horseshoe.

As soon as these words came out, all the officials were shocked.

A horseshoe is a piece of hard bone, nailed with a piece of iron... can this work?Won't this crack?

Everyone frowned, thinking hard.

In theory, it is indeed feasible, but none of them know if it will work.

After all, this is nailing a piece of iron to the horseshoe...

Kong Yingda frowned and thought for a long time, recalling the books she had read, but couldn't find any records.

But his tone became polite and he replied.

"Your Highness, I think this move is unheard of... the book of sages has never recorded it, so it should be impossible!"

Changsun Wuji also frowned at this time and said: "I think this is appalling and not advisable."

There was a smile on Li Tai's face, it was normal for some people to object.

It is very difficult for people to accept it, especially for these Confucian disciples who are dead-educated.

"I think it's feasible." Cheng Yaojin stood up at this time, his simple and honest face showed the eyes of a thief.

Don't look at Cheng Yaojin as simple and honest, but in fact he was born in a family of officials and officials.

"I don't think so. How can it be done by nailing a piece of iron?"

"Yeah yeah!"

"It's about putting iron shoes on a horse. It's just a fantasy."

"I think it should be ok. The horse doesn't hurt, so it should be ok."

Hundreds of officials discussed one after another, expressing their own opinions respectively.

Li Shimin also frowned, wondering whether it would work or not, he didn't know.

"Qu Jing, King Wei, have you ever tried?"

Of course Li Tai hadn't tried it, if he had tried it, he would have brought a horse over.

"I haven't tried it, but I think it's feasible."

"Oh? Why?" Li Shimin asked puzzled.

This... how to answer?

Do I have to tell you that I know history in advance?

This is obviously not possible, suddenly Li Tai remembered something, and said.

"A few days ago, my son saw a woman named Rou Ning, her nails were dyed pink and she wore silver nails, it was very interesting.

The son-in-law knew that nails could be dyed red and decorated with gold and silver.

So can the horse also take the iron palm? "

This explanation made Baiguan start thinking again.

Dyeing nails appeared very early. In the Tang Dynasty, impatiens were used. The rich wore gold and silver nails, while the poor wore reeds.

"This..."

The ministers hesitated... They said that the horse's hoof nailed to the horse's shoe was a little hollow, but using the nail as a metaphor, it immediately became more vivid.

It seems that this is the truth, nails will not hurt...

"Your Majesty, it's useless to talk too much. Why don't you go to the Yumajian to take a horse and try to make it. You can tell at a glance whether it succeeds or not." Li Tai directly suggested.

"That makes sense." Li Shimin nodded without hesitation.

Li Yuan won the world with five thousand horses, and Li Shimin knew the importance of horses.

From a certain point of view, the number of horses determines the size of the territory.

"Show off."

Soon, Baiguan followed Li Shimin to the Military Weapons Supervision.

It is full of stoves, various equipment, and a craftsman with a bare upper body.

"I have seen His Majesty!" Zhang Yajiu led a kind of craftsman to stand aside respectfully.

"Exemption."

Li Shimin looked expectantly, and turned to Li Tai and said.

"King Wei, the man and the horse are here, and I will hand them over to you at this time. Don't let me down."

Although Li Tai doesn't know how to forge iron, and the horseshoe has only been heard to be U-shaped, it doesn't affect it.

Li Tai approached the horse, looked at the teeth, it was in the prime of life.

He looked at the horse's hoof again. It had a one-and-a-half-inch hoof, which looked very good. This horse was well-raised by Yu Ma.

Li Tai thought about it and found a solution.

"Where is the Imperial Horse Supervisor?" Li Tai asked.
