Li Jing was shocked and looked at Li Zhao suspiciously.
This young Marquis Champion had an extraordinary martial path. Li Jing would definitely believe that he could break the formation by himself.
However, this warhorse problem was different from the battlefield. How could he solve it with just extraordinary martial arts?
Could it be that he was going to plant warhorses from the ground like Shengshi Mai?
This thought flashed through his mind, and even Li Jing himself shook his head. He felt that it was a little ridiculous.
"I wonder if the Marquis Champion has any ideas?”Li Jing could only ask curiously.
"There is no need to ask about this General Li. We will know in five days.”
Li Zhao replied lightly, planning to keep them in suspense for the time being.
Li Jing was even more curious, but he didn't ask any further. He could only say,""Then what does Marquis Champion need me to do? Do you need me to apply for some money from the Ministry of Revenue?”
He guessed that Li Zhao might have some special channels that allowed him to purchase high-quality warhorses from Goguryeo or Tuyuhun.
"You only need to transfer the best craftsmen in the army to me.”
Li Zhao replied casually.
His answer surprised Li Jing greatly. His eyes widened in confusion.
Warhorses, craftsmen…
These two things were completely unrelated. What was the Marquis Champion trying to do?
Li Jing's doubts grew, but he had no choice but to follow Li Zhao's orders and give all fifty carpenters and blacksmiths to Li Zhao.
Li Zhao brought this group of people, as well as the relevant tools and materials, back to his own marquis 'manor.
In order to show how important Li Yuan was to him, the Marquis of Champion's mansion was huge, not inferior to the Eastern Palace and King Qin's mansion. There was plenty of empty space in the mansion.
Li Zhao then ordered people to tear down a portion of the garden and asked the craftsmen to set up a furnace, build a shed, and open up a workshop.
With everything prepared, Li Zhao gathered all the craftsmen outside the workshop.
These skilled craftsmen all had suspicious gazes as they speculated what this illustrious young marquis was planning to do by causing such a huge commotion.
"Philosopher System, bring up the Mo Family's sub-system.”
Li Zhao pressed the Heaven Secrets Compass on his chest and gave the system an order with his mind.
"The Mo family's sub-system has been activated.”
"Didn't you give me the craftsmanship of the wooden ox last time? This time, I need the blueprint and tools of the Flowing Horse.”
Li Zhao ordered.
He wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Wooden Cow and create the legendary Flowing Horse.
Didn't Li Jing say that if the Great Tang wanted to go out to crusade against the Turks, it needed horses with great endurance?
But the best horse-producing region of the Great Tang was now occupied by the Turks and Goguryeo, and it would be impossible to gather enough warhorses in a short period of time to replenish the Great Tang cavalry.
As a result, the Great Tang could only rely on time to exchange for numbers, using a few years to replenish their warhorses.
Therefore, Li Zhao wanted to create a stream of horses.
This kind of Mohist mechanical horse not only moved like the wind, but it also had almost inexhaustible endurance.
Because the Flowing Horses were similar to the Wooden Ox, their driving force came from the invisible power of Yin and Yang. Li Zhao only needed to use a small amount of Yin and Yang power to activate them, and they would be able to obtain this mysterious energy from the outside world.
Once the Great Tang army was equipped with such a mechanism, they could easily destroy the Turks.
"Flowing Horse manufacturing blueprint and craftsmanship output completed.”
An intricate blueprint immediately appeared in Li Zhao's mind. Its complexity was no less than the precision machinery of the future.
Flowing horses were mechanical beasts that were even more complicated than wooden oxen. They needed the best craftsmen in the world to successfully forge them.
Fortunately, Chang 'an was the capital of the Tang Empire, and the best craftsmen of the Tang Empire were gathered here. These precise parts should be no problem for them.
Hence, Li Zhao called for a pen and drew out all the blueprints in his mind.
In the next five days, Li Zhao neither went to court nor left the marquis 'manor. He instructed the craftsmen to forge the flowing horses.
Zhao Yu 'er and Li Anlan, who was staying in the manor, were both confused. They could not guess what Li Zhao was doing.
Only Zhao Xun knew of Li Zhao's identity as a tycoon. Although he couldn't guess what he was building, he could tell that Li Zhao was definitely building some kind of Mohist treasure.
Five days later, in the afternoon, a lifelike mechanical horse stood on the open ground in front of the workshop.
"Marquis Champion, you…you made a wooden horse?”Li Anlan was curious.
Li Zhao didn't answer. He jumped onto his warhorse and extended his hand to her." This is the first trial ride for Liu Ma. Do you want to come with me?"”
Li Anlan looked at the motionless wooden horse. He could not figure out how such a lifeless machine could move.
However, she remembered that Li Zhao even had a machine-operated bird, so it was not impossible for him to create a moving wooden horse.
After hesitating for a moment, she placed her hand on Li Zhao's palm.
Li Zhao gently pulled her onto the horse's back and sat in front of him. His hands brushed past her armpits and grabbed the reins.
In this way, Li Zhao was hugging her tightly from behind.
Li Anlan's heartbeat quickened slightly, and a faint glow appeared on her face. Although she had the style of a woman, this was the first time she had been hugged so tightly by a man. It was difficult for her to feel a little shy.
The craftsmen around them were also looking at the results of their hard work for a few days. Although they had made it themselves, they could not believe that this thing could really move like a living horse.
Li Zhao opened a hidden cover beside the horse's back and reached his hand in, touching the mechanical horse's core.
"Yin-Yang School's sub-system, inject the power of Yin and Yang into the horse.”
"Yes, sir."
The system was activated, and traces of Yin and Yang power were quietly injected into the mechanical horse's core.
The stiff wooden horse suddenly neighed and stood up.
When the surrounding carpenters saw this scene, they were all shocked and retreated one after another.
