"Crown Prince, I've already called all the blacksmiths over!”
Qin Qiong was a smart person. Li Yi only had one blacksmith, and it was given to him by Zhangsun Wuji. Because Zhangsun Wuji's family controlled the entire ironware business of the Great Tang, it was not considered stingy to give a blacksmith to Li Yi!
In this day and age, those who could forge iron could basically support their families. Very few sold themselves to slaves!
Therefore, there were very few blacksmith slaves!
This wasn't a fantasy novel. If one went to the human market, they would be an elven princess or a blacksmith master!
This blacksmith could only forge hoes and iron pots at most!
"Since that's the case, we'll know once we try. Gather up. Anyone who leaks it will kill their entire family!”
Li Shi Min said without hesitation. As soon as he finished speaking, the blacksmith beside Li Yi immediately knelt down. However, he was not shouting for mercy, but…
"Thank you, Saint, thank you, Saint…"
Li Yi was at a loss. Cheng Yaojin, who was beside him, was really meticulous. Seeing Li Yi's expression, he knew that Li Yi was curious. He was clearly going to kill his entire family if he leaked the information, so why did the blacksmith kneel down and thank him?
"Brat, this job of killing an entire family means that as long as the secret is not leaked, the blacksmith family will have a good life in the future!”
Li Yi was enlightened!
This was an iron rice bowl!
"Since that's the case, I'll give this blacksmith's slave record to the Saint later!”
Li Yi nodded, but Zhangsun Wuji nodded,""Of course, I have to hand over the slave register. However, I just gave you a gift yesterday. It's not right for it to be gone today. I'll send someone to deliver the new blacksmith slave register later!”
"In that case, thank you, Lord Zhangsun!”
Blacksmith Li Yique, he could still use it to forge some things, even if it was for repairing. Li Yi didn't know how many things he could bring with him every time he transmigrated. What if it wasn't much?
In the future, every time he went back, he would have a rare opportunity. He could not waste it on some big items that could be casually forged!
For example, hotpot?
They could bring modern seasonings and even modern copper pots. It was too much. They were heavy and big, unless…
"Unless you can bring it over without touching it!”
Li Yi narrowed his eyes. Perhaps he could give it a try!
But now, Li Yi had to accumulate enough energy to travel three times before he would choose to return. At least twice. This was because Li Yi did not know how much energy he would consume if he brought things over when he traveled. This time, the things he brought over seemed to be quite a lot, but in reality, it was not much. Li Yi did not dare to bring anything like sweet potatoes. He only brought some finished products, tea leaves, wine, salt, and some seasonings.
Hmm…
To Li Yi, eating was the most important thing. He could take his time to figure out the rest!
Of course, there was a blacksmith at home just in case!
"Yes!"
Zhangsun Wuji nodded. Although this was not considered returning Li Yi's favor, it was still a little light!
Making horseshoes wasn't difficult at all. The vet first treated the wound on Zhang Gongjin's warhorse. During the process, Li Yi realized that Zhang Gongjin had given him a generous gift. This warhorse was worth a thousand pounds. Although it wasn't the legendary Ferghana Horse, it was still the descendant of Zhang Gongjin's mount and Li Shiming's Treading on Snow Flying Swallow mount. It was domineering from the moment it was born and fought over its milk. The other horses and horses were afraid of it!
When Li Yuanji was still around, he had asked for it many times but failed. Today, he had given it to Li Yi.
Li Shimin was very envious. Although it was born by his female horse, the stallion belonged to Zhang Gongjin, so the pony belonged to Zhang Gongjin.
Li Shiming was a horse lover. After he ascended the throne, he couldn't go to war anymore. However, he had collected many precious horses and often went to the hunting ground to ride horses. After all, he was an emperor on a horse. It was normal for him to like horses. A good horse was like a luxury car in modern times.
Very soon, the iron was ready. With ready-made materials, it was not difficult. The only difficulty was heating it. The drilling was easier than Li Yi imagined. He just needed to take a metal rod and continuously poke it, and a hole would be formed.
A few blacksmiths worked together and finished forging in less than two hours. The veterinarian also treated the hoof of the warhorse. The hoof cracked, but fortunately, it did not hurt the flesh, bones, and nerves inside. Instead, it was like a piece of stone that was accidentally stuffed between the teeth, causing the entire hoof to crack.
That feeling was unbearable for everyone, let alone the horse.
After taking it out, the horse's hoof closed up. However, because the horse was messing around, it still caused a slight tear. However, according to the veterinarian, it could still recover unless it did not walk.
However, that was impossible. Li Yi did not care. As long as the crack on the horse's hoof closed, the wound would naturally heal!
It was like sealing a wound with a needle and thread. The most important thing was to close the wound!
The horseshoes were quickly forged. Then, under Li Yi's reassurance, the warhorses obediently raised their legs and asked the blacksmith to carefully place the horseshoes under the hooves. After repairing the horns of the hooves, they nailed them in!
The four horseshoes were quickly nailed down. The warhorses did not hesitate and got up. Li Yi had people scatter many broken stones in the courtyard.
"Come, Old Cheng!"
Cheng Yaojin didn't hesitate to do so. He didn't need a saddle and mounted his horse. The warhorse wasn't afraid. Instead, it happily stepped on the broken stones. The hoofs collided with the stones, making a "Da Da" sound. However, from the look of the warhorse, everyone knew that the hooves of the warhorse were very relaxed.
"Crown Prince, you are very stable!"
Cheng Yaojin said excitedly. Li Yi had a smug look on his face. He had specially asked someone to make horizontal stripes on the horseshoes like zebra stripes to prevent them from slipping. With these horizontal stripes, the gripping strength of the horse's hooves on the ground was greatly improved!
Horseshoes were only introduced to China during the later Jin Dynasty, but now that the Chinese army had horseshoes, the combat strength of the cavalry would increase by several times!
Cavalry was equivalent to armored vehicles in the modern era. When the heavy-armored cavalrymen joined forces to charge, it was completely like the charge of a tank battalion!
In the ancient battlefield where there was only the army, this was definitely an invincible existence!
"Li Yi, what reward do you want?"
Li Shiming was so excited that he didn't even call him "Fairy"!
Li Yi pondered for a moment before his eyes lit up.
