Verse 33: Putting shoes on horses

was bullied, Yun Ye planned to hide at home and not go out.

It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, Li Er wants to find you, even if you hide in the sky, he will pull you out. A fluttering will fell on his head, and Zuo Wuwei, the commander of the march, Shi and the court of the Tang Dynasty, was led by Li Chengqian. searched all over the Datang State Agency, but no one knew what the Kewu Institute was. Finally, he asked Li Chengqian, he found a huge courtyard on the edge of the Yanxi Gate of the Imperial City, the whole courtyard is full of trees, covering an area of five acres, and it can be regarded as a number of courtyards in the imperial city, of course, it is incomparable with the Zhongshu next door and the two provinces under the door.

It's just too old, some of the doors and windows are falling off, and when you stand in the house, you can see the blue sky. I have been in the Tang Dynasty for some days, and I know that Li Er is very poor now, especially after being blackmailed by Jieli, he is even poorer, I heard that the Zichen Hall where he works daily is also hot in summer and bitter cold in winter, and the newly repaired palace is still unfinished, and the pestle is ugly in the imperial city. But how do I work in a place like this? This is an institution, a scientific institution that I told Li Chengqian, a place that needs to work in a down-to-earth manner, a scientific research institution that doesn't even have windows, what do you expect to be able to research? Now is not the period of Mao Taizu, and it is enough to conquer a qiē by dreaming passionately. Yun Ye is a thorough utilitarian, and if he wants to make achievements, he must be rewarded accordingly. The current situation is too far from what he imagined to be in the Academy.

There are only more than thirty people, and this is still a master of Kewu found from Guanzhong, there are grandfathers, uncles, uncles, but there are no brothers, and young Kewu talents are what Yun Ye urgently needs. Some of these people specialize in civil engineering, that is, architects, fortunately, some are reliable, and some specialize in showing people Feng Shui tombs, why are Feng Shui masters also sent? There's one who specializes in digging canals, well, this is a hydraulic engineer. Blacksmith? Bricklayer? Carpenter? Carpenter? There was also a shameless stunned person who said that he was "exhausted to the point of death," and he didn't know what it meant. The green tendons on Yun Ye's head jumped, this is where his dream took off?

Let the architect calculate how much it will cost to renovate the entire yard, let the feng shui master find a room with the best orientation in the yard for me to use as an office, and let various craftsmen find their own apprentices and grandchildren to help with the repair. Let the exhaustive uncle act as a clerk to record his orders and pass them on. I have to say that the obedience of the Tang people is just. It took three days to renovate six rooms.

Li Er's majesty was generous, and approved a total of 2,000 quintals of grain as the capital of Yun Ye's start. Money? No. If you have money, what do you want to do? This is Li Erma's answer.

Standing in the court, Yun Ye's mind was full of how to get a thousand copper coins from the hands of the Hubu Shangshu for a while, and if the worst was to have 800 yuan for emergencies, if the money didn't come, the Kewu Institute would be cut off, he didn't care, even if he didn't pay for a hundred years, it didn't matter, but the more than 30 people under his hands couldn't do it, only the grain couldn't be mixed in Chang'an, and the grain didn't dare to sell it, which was a big crime of privately.

"Ten thousand? Wen Shangshu, there are tens of thousands of discarded horses used by the Vehicles and Drivers Division of our military department every year, if you don't replenish new war horses, you call me the Tang cavalry to transform into infantry? Li Ji's eyes widened angrily, and he was loudly refuting the stinginess of the head of the household.

This one is still not satisfied with 10,000 guan, Yun Ye very much hopes that his 1,000 guan will not be put in the eyes of Wen Shangshu of the household.

"Five or six out of ten of the reasons for the loss of war horses are caused by the wear and tear of the horse's hooves, which is also a major factor that plagues the cavalry attack, in the past two years, my Tang soldiers have been waiting for the Dan, vowing to be ashamed, so the training is harder, and it is worth damaging some war horses." Li Jing stood up to help Li Ji.

"10,000 is already the maximum capacity of the household department, and if there are more, we will have to wait until next year." Wen Daya didn't give an inch. …,

The court in the early Tang Dynasty was relaxed, as long as you are reasonable, you can explain it to your heart's content, Li Er Majesty sat on a high throne and watched the courtiers arguing, this was a scene he liked to see, and everyone's reaction was that he observed the target, and he found that Yun Ye, who was hiding in the corner, seemed to have something to say, and took a few steps forward and retreated. Wasn't he busy building the Kung Wu Academy? How did you come to the court? Looking at him pulling the prince and muttering, he knew that Li Jing said the difficult thing just now, and he had a way to solve it. Thinking of the young man who chanted silently with the prince and the prince a few days ago, a strange thought arose in his heart, the milk tiger roaring valley? Strange flower firstborn? Hidden Dragon? I'll see what the Academy of Things, which you boast about, is capable of solving problems that haven't been solved for thousands of years.

After Fang Xuanling reprimanded the noisy courtiers. Li Er began to speak,

"Lantian Hou Yunye, I see that you seem to have something to say, you might as well be bold and speak, as long as it is reasonable, you can say anything, although the Kewu Academy founded by you and the prince is a little simpler, is it more graceful for young people to follow their own path?"

There was no way to go, Yun Ye gritted his teeth and stood out, stretched out his right hand and popped out three fingers: "Give me three thousand guan, and Weichen will solve the problem of horse hooves wearing." "This is the first time he has taken the initiative to take care of himself. Li Chengqian looked at him nervously and pinched a cold sweat for him, this is not a brag and joke of the brothers in private, this is the court pays attention to spitting a pit, once the words are said to death, there is no room to go back.

Li Jing glanced at Yun Ye and was silent, Li Ji was a little surprised, Wen Daya took a step forward and said to Yun Ye: "Do you know that as soon as these words come out, the old man will not be a teenager, but when you are the Marquis of Lantian of my Tang Dynasty." ”

Thankfully, he bowed to Wen Shangshu: "You can take this sentence as the sentence of the Datang Kewu Academy, three thousand guan, I want it now, six days, this is the deadline to solve the problem, this is the commitment of the Kewu Academy." ”

Wen Daya's eyes were full of brilliance, and he struck with both hands and said loudly: "Okay, sure enough, the hero is a young man, the wear and tear of the horse's hooves will not only cause a lot of waste, but also cause the loss of the fighter. "

Yun Ye stretched out his hand and clapped Wen Daya. Each of them returned to their respective places satisfied.

Li Er smiled and saw that the courtier's bet had been completed, so he said, "Marquis Lantian, I am very curious, how do you plan to solve it?" What is the solution to be considered successful? ”

Yun Ye had already thought about it, and said with confidence: "There are 1,500 miles back and forth from Chang'an to Luoyang, and the minister plans to let the knight set off from Chang'an with one person and two horses, and after arriving in Luoyang, Luoyang will stay behind and use the seal to prove that it has indeed arrived, and then return the same way, and after returning to Chang'an, the minister will be considered to win if he checks the horse's hooves intact, otherwise he will lose." What does 陛xià think? ”

"Five hundred miles a day, that's why you want six days? But do you have the time to develop what you need? Niu Jinda was a little worried.

"Xiao Chen doesn't understand why no one has solved such a simple matter for thousands of years, we people know that walking barefoot can hurt our feet and invented shoes, why can't we put shoes on horses?"

The first more is sent, and I will continue to update the collection
