Chapter 111: Empty Plans
The general asked him to dismount, but Li Su didn't dare not dismount.
He knew what Niu Jinda was about to discover, well, this thing might have a very important meaning for the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, just like the birth of the saddle and stirrups, full of epoch-making something...... Wouldn't it be too polite to ask for a hundred times? Or, two hundred?
Niu Jinda was very unhappy, it seems that he is very sensitive to the sound of metal percussion, just as Li Su is very particular about neatness and symmetry of any object, everyone is a person with personality.
Li Su parked Ma Erle on the side of the road, got off the horse, and stood aside honestly.
Niu Jinda looked at the horse's hooves curiously, and the horse seemed to feel a little ...... at Niu Jinda's burning gaze Shy? So he restlessly picked up his hooves and took a few steps.
"Huh? Stop, don't move! In the midst of the lightning, Niu Jinda found something and forgot to shout.
Ma Er didn't care what kind of general he was, so he naturally wouldn't stop his hooves in mid-air, ignored Niu Jinda's order, put down the horse's hooves, and even snorted at him with disdain, looking like a revolutionary fearless and dead spirit that regarded him as a chicken and a dog......
Niu Jinda also seemed to feel a little forgetful just now, and his expression flashed a hint of confusion, and then said, "Come, help, lift this beast's front hooves......"
≦ Li Su had no choice but to help, and the horse was still very convinced of the master, and honestly let Li Su lift its left front hoof.
Li Su is carrying his hooves while promoting product ideas, which is a big deal, and he must have a correct attitude.
"Look, chief steward, this is a horseshoe, which was figured out when the lower officials had nothing to do, well, it took a lot of effort, and a few gray hairs. Creativity is a very subjective thing, an idea may not be worth anything, it may be worth tens of millions, I don't dare to say more about this idea, 500 is still worth it. Things are good things in the eyes of people who know the goods, and they are called to meet the Lord......"
Li Su chattered endlessly, and Niu Jinda waved his hand impatiently: "Shut up!" Tell me, what's going on with this? What does that mean? ”
"Horseshoes, aren't all our Datang horses walking barefoot? This is not good, it is easy to wear out the hooves of the horse, if a horse wears out the hooves, it will be wasted, and no matter how good the horse is, it is useless......"
"Walking barefoot?" Niu Jinda was a little uncomfortable with Li Su's way of speaking. frowned, but still endured: "You continue." ”
"So, we have to put shoes on the horses, with shoes, the horses can be as happy as they want on the road, and they can rub the ground as much as they want, and a horseshoe is enough for it to grind for a year or two, right? When it is almost polished, it will be replaced with a new one, and it will be enough to grind for another year or two. I pondered this idea with great difficulty, not only with merit but also with hard work. If the effort spent is converted into money, 500 yuan is really a tearful jump price, the conscience of the industry, of course, silver cake is also good......"
Niu Jinda's eyes stared at the horseshoe, and his expression gradually changed. Sometimes red and sometimes green, unpredictable, at this moment he probably understands the usefulness of the horseshoe.
Li Suzheng spoke energetically, and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and his feet were inexplicably off the ground. When I looked down, I found that my whole person was picked up by Niu Jinda with one hand, and when I looked up again, Niu Jinda's face was only half an inch away from him, and he was glaring at him viciously, and his square face was like a brick smashed towards Li Su, which was very terrifying.
"Big ...... The chief manager ...... "Li Su was scared.
Niu Jinda stared at him like a man, and there was a strand in his mouth...... Well, the old cow must not have a good stomach.
"Do you know how many war horses my Datang has to lose every year due to the wear and tear of horses' hooves?" Niu Jinda's face was hideous, as if he had given Li Su all the guilt of damaging the war horse.
"It's none of my business......" Li Su was like a piece of dried muntjac meat hanging under the porch, his feet were still swaying slightly in the air, and the soldiers on the road looked curiously at the strange pair of people on the side of the road, and after finding that one of them was the chief manager, he hurriedly turned his head and walked by himself.
Li Su had no choice but to cover his face and artificially put a mosaic on his face......
This posture is so shameful......
"Do you know that because of the wear and tear of war horses, the invincible Tang cavalry in the world only has 30% of the number of infantry soldiers every year?"
"It's none of my business...... Boss, let me down first, put me down first......"
Niu Jinda finally realized his gaffe, and after glaring at him viciously, he put him down.
"It's a good thing!" After Niu Jinda carefully observed the horseshoe again, his cheeks kept twitching, his eyes were red, and he seemed to want to cry: "In fact, it is a semi-circular piece of iron, this piece of iron has not been thought of for thousands of years, and because of this piece of iron, how many lands have my Emperor of the Tang Dynasty conquered!" How many cavalry battalions can do what a charge can do, but it has caused countless unnecessary casualties among my Guanzhong disciples, hate! ”
"Little baby, if you had been born twenty years earlier, you would have made this thing out......" Niu Jinda said and suddenly paused, shaking his head with a wry smile.
patted Li Su's shoulder heavily, and the giant spirit's big palm fell on Li Su's shoulder, and half of his body was unconscious......
"Okay, this piece of iron is stronger than the victory of ten wars, little baby, the commander in the military merit book will record your first merit! Haha, Your Majesty said that you are my young hero of the Tang Dynasty, Ben Shuai didn't believe it, but looking at it today, Ben Shuai was wrong. Niu Jinda was very happy, and finally a smile appeared on his face, adding a bit of flavor to his unsmiling brick face, which looked like ...... A slab brick laughing?
"Come on, Pegasus enters Chang'an, send this piece of iron into the Taiji Palace, and dedicate it to His Majesty!" Niu Jinda yelled.
Li Su was anxious, this is not right, what about the good remuneration?
"Boss, it took a lot of thought for Xia Guan to make this thing, and his hair is gray, you see, isn't it ......?"
"Call the ordnance supervisor over, gather all the blacksmiths to make this piece of iron after camping tonight, and give the order that the horse's paw of the entire cavalry camp must be nailed to this thing within three days!"
"Five hundred guan may be a bit shocking, they are all acquaintances, and two hundred guan is not negotiable, silver cakes and copper coins are ......"
"Come over a few guards, hurry up to Hou Junji, Liu Lan's department, bring the iron pieces, and let their cavalry camp also load."
"Boss, whether it's credit or hard work, you can't help but give money......" Li Su's momentum became weaker and weaker.
"Disperse, keep marching! Fast! ”
After Niu Jinda gave a series of orders, he patted his ass and left.
Li Su stood in place, feeling the pain of a pinprick in his heart, and a series of plopping sounds appeared in his mind, the money fell into the sea, and then, he also had an urge to jump into the water, and it was okay to jump off the building, and there was no need to be rigid in how to die......
Niu Jinda took two steps and suddenly paused, then turned around.
Li Su perked up and looked at him with hope, begging you, hurry up and grow your conscience......
Niu Jinda turned around and walked up to Li Su, patted his head affectionately, and his expression was full of approval: "Good baby, good!" In the future, you will be amazing, in the future, when someone will call me the chief manager, when no one will call me Uncle Niu, if someone bullies you, just come to me, Uncle will support you. ”
Now Niu Jinda looks at Li Su as if he were his own nephew, very kind, and took out a piece of air-dried muntjac meat from his arms and stuffed it into Li Su's hand.
"The little baby is still growing up, you have to eat more meat, a well-behaved baby, no wonder Your Majesty and Lao Cheng are full of praise for you, sure enough, how to look at it, what new and weird things will come up with in the future, remember to report to me first, otherwise you won't be able to kill you, go!"
Affectionately kicked Li Su's ass and kicked Li Su away.
In the evening, the camp was earlier than usual, and the sun was still hanging obliquely in the air, so Niu Jinda ordered to find a place to camp near the mountains and waters.
The 20,000-strong army, plus logistical baggage and all kinds of non-staff personnel, stretched for more than ten miles after the camp was entrenched. The front army and the middle army were busy driving piles to enclose the fence, the rear army's ordnance supervisor had already opened a furnace and opened fire, more than a dozen blacksmiths clanged and banged, and pieces of horseshoes were freshly baked.
Li Su didn't want to listen to those jingling sounds, it was too heartbreaking. So he took the waist card out of the Chinese army camp and went straight to the front army.
The status of civilian officials in the army is a little embarrassing, the army is all vulgar martial arts, as soon as they talk about being a civilian official, they all show a solemn appearance, and this civilian official from the eighth grade looks so small, and it is even more admirable, but admiration is admired, and it is always separated from the generals and government soldiers, which can be described as respecting each other like ice, and not provoking each other.
With the identity of joining the army, Li Su asked questions all the way, and finally found Wang Zhu in the former army Mo knife team.
The Mo knife team is practicing, Wang Zhujing is standing in the phalanx bare-chested, a long Mo knife in his hand is dancing vigorously, the phalanx of hundreds of people is attacking and defending like one person, Li Su feels a gust of wind blowing from a distance, looking at this phalanx There is an indescribable strange feeling, as if facing a behemoth, if you get closer, it will be torn to pieces by it and the belt bones, which makes people subconsciously want to escape.
"The ...... of the Datang Mo Knife Team" Li Su muttered to himself, and a scorching light bloomed in his eyes.
The white order flag in the hand of a general next to the phalanx waved down heavily, and the frequency of the Mo knife of the hundreds of people in the phalanx increased, and then suddenly stopped the Mo knife, and the knife was held in both hands and slashed forward, the action stopped, and a loud shout like a golden stone cracking completely shocked Li Su.
"Kill!"
The shouting of killing fell, and the yellow dust on the ground flew up inexplicably, Li Su only felt that his heart was in a trance, as if he was frightened away by this "killing", and a layer of goosebumps involuntarily appeared on his arm.
After the team drilled, the generals announced that they were dispersed, and Wang Zhu handed over the Mo knife to the little officer, the Mo knife is a strategic heavy weapon, according to the law, until the time when the enemy is about to be killed, the government soldiers can not hold it casually even if they are in the camp.
Seeing Li Su not far away, Wang Zhu was very happy, running naked and running half-naked, and the tendons and flesh on his chest went up and down as he ran...... The flesh trembles, the picture is too beautiful to watch.
