Chapter 147 Riding someone else's horse is more comfortable
In the duty room, Liang Jianfang asked, "What's the solution to the horse hoof matter?"
Is this trying to induce offering?
Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "I have some clues about this, but I still have to think about it."
After hitting Tai Chi, Liang Jianfang did not ask about this anymore, but he slapped the table and cursed: "Do you know the consequences of this matter if it fails?"
Su Dingfang's supporting role, "not only will he be ridiculed for life, but he will also bring disgust from the monarch and ministers in the court. Do you still want to be promoted and make a fortune in this life?"
Cheng Zhijie said quietly: "The soldiers in the army will regard you as a joke, and the civil servants will regard you as a arrogant and reckless boy. How can they shoulder the heavy responsibility?"
The three of them said something, but they actually wanted Jia Ping'an to express his ideas.
But who is Master Jia?
His face was sincere...
There is a chance!
The veterans winked, shut up and waited for him to speak.
"For this matter, a certain family also raised a horse, and His Majesty even rewarded a BMW he had ridden. Thank you for this..."
——Riding this horse, you have to think about Xiao Liangdi!
This is what Xiao people said. Before Sister Wu entered the palace, Jia Ping'an had to keep a low profile and not offend Xiao, so he did as usual.
"Someone's horse didn't run much, and the horse's hooves were just like human nails. They had to be peeled for a while, otherwise it would be inconvenient to walk. I personally peeled them, and saw the thick skin of the horse's hooves cracked, and I was thinking in my heart, what if it could prevent it from cracking? My cousin's horse ran a lot, and the thick skin of the horse's hooves was almost ground, and there was flesh on it... I was thinking, what if it could prevent it from cracking?"
"Yes!" the veterans nodded.
Tell me your solution, boy.
Jia Ping'an sighed, "I'm just thinking, why can't I..."
The veterans' eyes were wide open...
"Why can't you think of a solution?" Jia Ping'an was wondering how to swear off them.
Liang Jianfang picked up the inkstone on the table, threw it over and threw it over.
The temper of this old guy...Damn it!
Jia Ping'an lowered his head, and the inkstone flew over his head, and with a loud bang, it broke into the wall.
"Old Liang!"
Su Dingfang hugged Liang Jianfang, and Lao Liang flew his legs, "Let me go and wait for me to kill this little beast!"
A group of veterans were fooled by Jia Ping'an and wanted to vomit blood.
But he said seriously: "I have thought of a solution."
"Tell me quickly!" Liang Jianfang stopped torture, Su Dingfang stopped hugging...
"But if this method is revealed..." Jia Ping'an said seriously: "What should I do if I know about it when an outsider is aware of it? What should I do if my opponent knows it?"
Horseshoes cannot be kept secret. Once there is a big battle in the future, the scouts and cavalry fight in intensive battles, and you will not be able to drag back all the dead and injured war horses, so that the enemy can obtain the use of horseshoes.
This thing does not have much technical content, and after repeated testing, it can always be made.
But it takes time.
"If the Tang Dynasty could lead five to ten years, a few major battles would be enough."
The spread of horseshoes is not fast, and Jia Ping'an doesn't know the reason, but it is always inseparable from the smelting level, craftsman level, and experience.
In this era, the technical advantages of the Tang Dynasty were overwhelming.
Cheng Zhijie frowned, "The cost of obtaining war horses in the Tang Dynasty is even higher."
This is another advantage.
Once the loss rate of the Tang Dynasty war horses is reduced, it will be a positive signal for the finance department. The annual expenditure reduced by the finance department will be a large amount.
This account... made a lot of money!
Jia Ping'an felt a little heartbroken.
He felt that it was too little for ten thousand yuan.
"But you actually asked for ten thousand guan. Young man, how much money is useless, you need a title!" Liang Jianfang said with a heartbroken voice: "With the title, your descendants can pass on their inheritance and become rich... How much better than ten thousand guan?"
Su Dingfang sighed: "A young man is short-sighted after all."
Jia Ping'an knew that several veterans had good intentions, so he bowed to thank him.
But he refused to mention this matter.
Bao Dong was concentrating on cooking tea next to him. He got it now and brought it to him.
"Well... it tastes good." Liang Jianfang nodded.
Jia Ping'an just sniffed, but didn't drink it.
"The taste is excellent." Even Cheng Zhijie smiled at Bao Dong, making him happy, wishing he could turn around and fight a few people on the spot.
Several veterans left before they could leave, and the news also reached Baiqi.
"Can you solve the problem of horse hoof loss?"
Tang Xu and Shao Peng wanted to touch Jia Ping'an's forehead to see if he had a fever.
Jia Ping'an said seriously: "I have thought of a solution, but I need an excellent blacksmith."
"The blacksmith is just a trivial matter." Tang Xu looked at Jia Ping'an, suddenly turned around and left.
"Forget it!" Shao Peng also shook his head and left.
In a few moments, only Jia Ping'an and Bao Dong were left in the duty room.
Do you think Jia joins the army is unreliable? Bao Dong: "..."
News spread wildly.
Most people laughed, treating it as a topic of conversation after dinner.
He took a leave at noon, and Tang Xu and Shao Peng had melancholy eyes. Shao Peng introduced his experience, "Pretend to be sick."
Tang Xu praised: "Lao Shao, you have a good idea, but I thought it would be better to pretend to be crazy and pretend for a while."
"Don't bully the young man poor!" Master Jia left this sentence and went out.
Hey!
Brother is not poor!
This is wrong.
He led Abao out of the imperial city, Jia Ping'an got on the horse and patted Abao's head, "Xiao Liangdi... No, Abao, let's go find a blacksmith."
Abao let out a long hiss, and the familiar one went to Pingkangfang.
"blacksmith?"
Duoduo tilted his head and let his long hair cover half of his face. "The blacksmiths I know here are all building weapons privately."
The evil young men need weapons, but some things are prohibited and can only find black market blacksmiths who close their homes to play.
“How is the craft?”
"Look!"
After reaching his hands to his waist, he threw down two short knives when he came out.
Jia Ping'an picked up a short knife with her body temperature and took a closer look, "The skills are good."
He glanced at him many times, "You..."
His eagerness to speak but stops made Duoduo curious, "What?"
Jia Ping'an asked with a short knife, "You put your two swords on the back, aren't you afraid of cutting your butt?"
This is something he has been confused about.
Many faces turned red suddenly, and then...
"Would you like to become a sworn brother?"
say!
Jia Ping'an was ready to see what she looked like when she got angry, but in the end it was this one.
I treat you as a woman, but you actually treat me as a brother!
The craftsman is Chen Laoer. When he brought Jia Ping'an many times, he was building a big axe...
There were a few short knives hanging by the wall. Please note that they were hung instead of directly resting them on the ground. This made the old mechanic Master Jia secretly praised him for his professionalism.
"Chen Laoer, this is a noble man." Many people stood in front of the stove with their hands on their chests.
Chen Laoer looked up, his dark face was full of indifference, "What kind of noble man? I will be human if I cut it down!"
This is true.
Many people said coldly: "Jia Ping'an, a hundred cavalry officers."
bite!
Chen Lao Er was stunned and loosened his hands, and his pliers almost hit his foot.
He smiled and said, "If you have any questions, please give me instructions."
"Why are you arrogant at first and respectful at the end?" Jia Ping'an picked up a short knife and tried it. He felt really good, so he found a scabbard on the side and put it in it, and carried it casually.
Chen Laoer seemed to be blind and didn't see it. He smiled as if he was as kind as seeing his benefactor. "One day I saw Jia Ganjun killing the Tubo people... I was shocked!"
"Get iron bars, and then make a small stove, and take your guy to Xinfeng."
"Xinfeng?"
"right!"
...
Later, Jia Ping'an went to Yongzhou Prefecture Yamen.
Liao Quan came to find Lao Xu to do business, but the minor official outside the door said, "The envoy is picking up the guests later."
Who is here?
Liao Quan was a little curious.
"Is that thing so easy to build? It's been thousands of years since people ride horses and horses ride people, but no one has ever thought about how to do it? I have thought about it. Even I ride my own horse and I have thought about getting it socks to wear, but it's useless!"
Liao Quan...
Why is the envoy so rough?
"Are you going to Xinfeng? That five hundred acres of land...forget it, go hide, who is accompanying you? You..."
Bang!
The sound of slapping the table came from inside.
The clerk shrank his neck, obviously he had never seen Xu Jingzong before.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu."
Just four words.
Xu Jingzong said weakly: "When will you come back?"
"No sure."
"I will take you to do it."
The door opened, and what came out was Xu Jingzong and Jia Ping'an.
Liao Quan asked with a smile: "What are you going to do?"
"By the place."
Well!
The pass is the procedures for the people of the Tang Dynasty to travel far away, which you can understand as a letter of introduction.
This is the life of the little official, Lao Xu went over...
"Empress!"
The clerk who had handled the office was scared and quickly went green all the way.
This is going through the back door, but why don’t I feel shameless, but I’m a little happy?
Master Jia felt that he was degenerate.
With the house, he took Chen Laoer and Tang Xu sent the other generals of Hengha to accompany him and went all the way to Xinfeng County.
Xinfeng is a bit legendary. Rumor has it that Liu Bang won the world. Thinking of the fact that he almost cooked his father with Xiang Yu, he took him to his side.
But Mr. Liu did not like the prosperity of Chang'an and missed his hometown. Liu Bang built a new Fengyi according to his hometown Fengyi, called Xinfeng.
But this is just a rumor, and Master Jia doesn't know the specific one.
Chang'an was seventy miles away from Xinfeng, and Jia Ping'an didn't want to rush the road, so the group arrived slowly the next afternoon.
"What is that place called?" Jia Ping'an thought for a while, "Mars Bay."
Bao Dong went to find a casual man and promised to give him twenty cents. The casual man rode a donkey to take them to the ground.
"This gentleman is a noble man at first glance, but does the noble man know the origin of Mars Bay?" The idle man's mouth was very casual, which reminded Jia Ping'an of the Peking people he met when he was traveling to Peking that year.
"Tell me."
"The Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty built a new Fengfeng for the Emperor, but it was full of weeds and trees. What should I do? Cutting it, it's troublesome, and it's a lot of people. The Emperor could not hold it in. On a dark night, Mars fell from the sky, and a fire burned all the plants and trees."
Well!
This legend is really...it has no technical content at all, and it is too easy to be counterfeited.
Everyone walked all the way, left the county town, and walked along the Wei River...
Turn left in front and follow a tributary of the Wei River.
It was only two miles away, and the tributary walked a few-shaped bend here.
This several-shaped bend wraps hundreds of acres of land.
"This is Mars Bay." Xianhan smiled at Jia Ping'an with a flattering smile.
"Give him money."
Bao Dong gave him twenty cents. When the idle man saw that they were happy to give money, he said something more, "This was a place for officials before, but later the man made a big mistake. He was said to have been exiled to the south. A few days ago, a newcomer came and said that His Majesty gave this place some tiger to Yongye Field. Tsk tsk! This is a good place! Everyone, what kind of tiger, it sounds like, isn't a good person, so be careful."
Not a good person, is this praise?
Jia Ping'an felt yes, so he nodded and said, "Thank you for your praise."
Leisure man: "..."
Bao Dong laughed and said, "This is the owner of Mars Bay, the tiger of hundreds of horses!"
The idle man was stunned, "Oh my god! Such a young man?"
There is nothing in the field now, but you can see scattered people wandering around the field.
The settlement is ahead.
The children seemed to have adapted to the new place and were playing outside.
When they saw Jia Ping'an and his party, a bigger boy turned around and ran away.
"Mr. is here!"
In an instant, this small village came to life.
The slaves at home came out to greet Mr. Jia, and his cousin came with Du He in a dilemma.
"I'm taking someone to clean up! Ping An, why are you here?" Yang Deli glanced at the back, and Chen Lao Er was in a state of sight.
"Some things, please wait and go for your own business."
Yang Deli introduced him, "This is a good place, it is easy to use water. The Wei River is two miles on the left, and the Li Mountain is four miles on the right. If you are bored, go to Mount Li, they say it is interesting."
That was the royal garden, in the past it was the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and in the past it was Lantian…
Later, Li Longji came to Mount Li for vacation every year and took a hot spring with Sister Yang...
Jia Ping'an suppressed Xunyou's idea of striking victory and took Chen Laoer into a yard. Bao Dong and Lei Hong took turns guarding outside the door.
It was tingling inside for a whole day.
Jia Ping'an came out, "Where is your horse Bao Dong? Take it."
"What are you going to do?" Bao Dong asked casually.
"There's something." Jia Ping'an said seriously: "You need a horse to try."
Bao Dong looked at Xiao, no, look at Abao, "Why isn't it yours?"
Jia Ping'an said lightly: "Because a certain horse is a BMW given by the emperor."
Bao Dong watched his horse being pulled in with tears.
The people and horses had feelings. When they entered, the horse looked back reluctantly.
Bao Dong is about to collapse.
The gate of the courtyard was closed immediately.
Some strange movements came from inside.
"Yes, flatten it!"
"Get things up and see... the circle is bigger, and then change it."
After a while, the movement became smaller again.
"Why do you think it's uneasy?" Bao Dong sat outside, heartache as if he was suffocating.
Lei Hong sighed: "I won't borrow it for the rest of my life."
Bao Dong asked, "What is it?"
Lei Hong said seriously: "The first wife doesn't lend it, and the second is that she doesn't lend it to someone's horse."
There were many people in later generations, and they would not lend their wives or cars.
More than an hour later, the gate of the courtyard opened.
Bao Dong jumped up and looked at his horse carefully.
The horse looked intact, but was a little uncomfortable and frequently stomped his feet.
Jia Ping'an got on the horse, and Bao Dong sighed in pain.
"drive!"
Jia Ping'an rode his horse to the right.
He is gradually accelerating.
Bao Dong felt uncomfortable, but Lei Hong added fuel to the fire, "The horsemanship of joining the army is really great. Look at your horse, the comforting spirit shows that this horse is also talented."
"Huh!" Lei Hong exclaimed, "Why did Langjun go to the gravel road?"
At this moment, there was a gravel road ahead of Jia Ping'an. There was a small pier here, and the boat transported stones back and forth, and the debris fell all the way.
"Be careful!" Bao Dong exclaimed.
"The horse's hooves can't stand it!"
Lei Hong also felt that Jia Ping'an was negligent.
The gravel roads that war horses are most afraid of these days, as well as various hard and high friction roads, which damage the horse's hooves too much.
But Jia Ping'an rushed over without hesitation.
Damn it!
Bao Dong covered his eyes and thought to himself that this is not your horse, so he wouldn't feel sorry for him?
Lei Hong murmured: "It's really comfortable to ride someone else's horse."
Bao Dong stood up and looked at it, and saw the horse running faster and faster...
Jia Ping'an drove Bao Dong's horse around.
When he came over, Bao Dong reached out, but Jia Ping'an rode his horse again.
After a few rounds of this, Bao Dong looked stunned and Lei Hong covered his mouth.
"this……"
It is long time since a war horse is running at high speed on a gravel road. It is inevitable that something will happen if a horse falls out.
Bao Dong even imagined the scene where Jia Ping'an fell down, but the picture was too beautiful and it would be a death if he didn't do it well, so he dared not continue to think about it.
Lei Hong let go of his hand and said in surprise: "Old Bao, why can your horse run?"
Bao Dong was also confused.
"I don't know either!"
Is my horse talented?
The horse came back again, and Jia Ping'an slowed down this time.
He patted the horse's neck, and the horse neighed comfortably.
"Good horse."
It's far worse than my Bao.
"Look at the horse's hooves!"
Lei Hong felt that the horse's hooves were probably going to be destroyed.
Bao Dong ventured over and leaned over to lift his feet.
"There is something." He saw something strange, as if it was... an iron tool.
"This is……"
Bao Dong and Lei Hong looked at each other, then looked at Jia Ping'an.
"Is this the way I came up with the army?"
"Baodong, go and try it." The original owner knew the output and emotional feelings of each horse, so Jia Ping'an asked Baodong to test it.
Bao Dong got on the horse, and when he arrived at the gravel area, he couldn't help but slow down.
"Roar over!" Jia Ping'an shouted.
Bao Dong is still reluctant to leave.
"If you break it, you will pay you a good horse!"
The horse gradually accelerates...
Different sounds.
It turned out that when he rode over the gravel, there was no such crisp sound.
The war horse has no fear and no intention of actively slowing down.
this……
The war horses began to run wildly.
It ran very happily.
After a few laps, Bao Dong rode his horse and stopped in front of Jia Ping'an, dismounted, and said excitedly: "Joining the army is an invincible merit! All brothers will benefit from it, and the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty will be invincible in the world!"
Lei Hong said in disbelief: "It's that iron bar?"
Bao Dong nodded, "The iron bars blocked the horse's hooves, protected the horse's hooves, joined the army..."
He looked at Jia Ping'an with a fanatical look, "A great talent in joining the army!"
Jia Ping'an looked at his two fanatical subordinates and felt that this Tang Dynasty... seemed to have been changed a little by himself.
The Tang cavalry with horseshoes will be more fierce, while the Tang finance that reduces the loss of war horses will be healthier...
...
Chapter completed!
