Worn Horseshoes
"Dalang is so powerful."
The cute little princess's eyes sparkled as she looked at Qin Mo like a fangirl.
Condensing water into ice, this was simply a divine technique.
The Crown Prince, Li Chengqian, who was still a little boy, also had a shocked expression.
He ran over and held Qin Mo's hand, asking earnestly," Qin Dalang, is this an immortal technique? Can you teach me?”
Li Er and the lackeys behind him were also shocked as if they had seen a ghost.
With the wisdom of the ancients, they would associate the unsolvable matters with the immortals.
They couldn't understand how water could turn into ice.
"Can this commoner's magic still enter Your Majesty's eyes?”
Qin Mo said proudly.
This group of country bumpkins from the Tang Dynasty could shock them speechless with just a little thing.
The group of people racked their brains, but they still could not understand what the principle was.
Li Er's expression was a little solemn. He did not like the feeling of losing control.
Old Qin slapped the back of Qin Mo's head and reprimanded," Don't tease His Majesty.”
Qin Mo only had a smattering of knowledge about Li Er from the history books. He wasn't clear about the temperament of this talented and bold emperor, but Old Qin was very clear that he would kill anyone who threatened his throne.
If Qin Mo's immortal methods that ordinary people could not understand were used by someone with ill intentions, it would cause a lot of trouble.
For example, some people used natural disasters to spread rumors that the emperor had lost his virtue. Qin Mo's methods were no different from immortals in the eyes of the illiterate people of the Tang Dynasty. If they were used by someone with ill intentions, it would be very detrimental to the rule.
Just as Old Qin was about to explain the theory behind it to Qin Mo, the cute Princess of Changle picked up a handful of saltpeter powder and threw it into the basin. She mimicked Qin Mo's previous actions and muttered," The Grand Supreme Elder is in a hurry. Hurry up."”
Then, the water in the basin froze.
Li Er's face revealed a strange expression. He walked over, grabbed a handful of saltpeter powder, and threw it into the unfrozen water basin. He did not chant the spell, but the water still froze.
"What is this? It's fun. I, Old Cheng, want to play too.”
Cheng Yaojin laughed as he walked over. He grabbed a handful of saltpeter powder and threw it into the remaining basin. The water in the basin began to freeze.
"What is the principle behind this?" Li Er asked.
After confirming that it was not some immortal method, Li Er's expression became much better.
Qin Mo said," This thing will absorb heat when dissolved in water, so the water will freeze. Does Your Majesty know about lime? Lime would heat up when placed in water. Everything in nature had their own principles.”
"What is this?" Zhangsun Wuji asked.
Qin Mo said," No comment. This is how our Qin family makes a living. Would Zhangsun Disturb reveal the secret technique of the Iron Plants to the public?”
He still wanted to make some money by making ice to improve his life. How could he tell them the secret of saltpeter?
"Your Majesty, uncles, as the saying goes, there is a house of gold in books. Everyone should read more. Knowledge is power, and knowledge is money.”
Qin Mo had crushed this group of Tang Dynasty big shots in terms of intelligence, and he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. Thus, he felt smug and raised his arms to shout.
Li Er was so angry that his nose almost went crooked. F * ck, he had originally wanted to beat up the little kid, but he was scared into a daze. This did not match his original plan.
Li Er's face darkened. He resisted the urge to hit the child and said," You read a lot of books? He knows the principles of all things in the world."
Qin Mo said," It's alright."
"I encountered something that I don't understand. Can you help me solve it?”Li Ercun wanted to test him.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"The monks in the south of the city buried the Buddha statue in the soil and chanted scriptures non-stop every day. The Buddha statue grew one foot taller every day.”
Because of this, Li Er couldn't sleep recently. When they attacked Wang Shichong, the thirteen staff-using monks saved the Tang King and owed him a huge favor. He could only turn a blind eye to what Buddhism did.
However, when they received a report from their subordinates, the people thought that the monk had Buddhism and contributed money and land.
It was fine if the monk did not pay food or serve in the military, but now he was deceiving the people and shaking the foundation of his rule. This was intolerable.
"Do you know the principle?"
Qin Mo did not answer directly. Instead, he threw the question to the ministers.
Zhangsun Wuji and the others shook their heads awkwardly.
Qin Mo revealed a disdainful gaze." Have you ever eaten beans?”
"What does this have to do with beans?" Cheng Yaojin asked.
Qin Mo said," Bury the beans in the soil and water them every day. The beans will sprout and grow taller. The Buddha statue blocks the beans, so it's the beans that grow taller. Don't tell me you don't even know this?”
"So simple?" Zhangsun Wuji couldn't believe it.
"Go and see if the soil under the Buddha statue is wet.”
At this moment, a guard stood out and reported," Your Majesty, the soil under the Buddha statue is indeed wet.”
Li Er was instantly furious." I remembered the old kindness and ignored what those monks did. I never thought that they would dare to fool the people and fool me.”
Some time ago, there were even ministers who reported that this was an auspicious sign.
"Men, immediately go and capture that monk who is pretending to be a ghost.”
As soon as Li Er finished speaking, someone stepped out and walked out.
Li Er was originally in a good mood after the huge rock in his heart was lifted. However, when he saw the mocking face of the little brat from Shandong, he could not help but have the urge to beat him up.
Damn it, this child was too detestable.
Thus, Li Er said," Child, Shubao asked me for a title of nobility, but he won't accept it without merit. If you can solve a problem in the court, I will make you an uncle.”
Qin Mo asked," What's the problem?"
Li Er asked," How do we solve the problem of the hoofs being worn out?”
The wear and tear of the horses 'hooves was the key problem that restricted the Tang cavalry. In order to avenge their humiliation, the soldiers trained very hard, but every year, tens of thousands of horses were lost, which cost a lot of money.
The big shots in the military demanded money, but the first year of Zhenguan was not yet the golden age of Zhenguan. They had just plundered the treasury last year as a gift to the Turks, and the treasury was so clean that rats starved to death.
Thus, the Ministry of Revenue expressed that they had no money and started fighting with the military bigwigs. Li Er was having a headache.
The Great Tang still did not have horseshoes.
Qin Mo smiled." That's it? It's a piece of cake."
"A piece of cake?" Li Er asked.
The problem that stumped the entire court was actually a piece of cake in the eyes of this Shandong kid?
Zhangsun Wuji and the others were also in disbelief.
"Do you have any way to resolve this matter?" Li Er asked. If the Shandong kid dared to brag, he would not have any pressure beating up the kid.
