Li Shi Min and the ministers trembled as they felt something, but they didn't know what Li You meant.
"You 'er, tell me quickly. Don't keep me in suspense. I can't wait any longer.”Li Shi Min didn't know why, but after hearing Li You's words, he was sure that Li You could solve the problem of the horse loss, so he urged him anxiously.
"Human feet are fragile. If you don't wear shoes, it's extremely easy to damage them. This is common sense. Everyone knows that. That's why people created shoes to protect their feet.”"I was thinking about putting shoes on horses like how you put shoes on people," Li You said with a smile.”
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible.”Before Li You could finish, Yuchi Gong couldn't help but retort,""How can a horse wear shoes? They have to run. What kind of shoes can keep up with the speed of the horse?”
Everyone nodded. This time, Yuchi Old Hei had pointed out the main point of the problem.
It was easy to make shoes for a horse, but how could it not fall off?
"Can't you just nail your shoes to the horse's hooves?”Li You said with a smile. Once again, he shocked everyone with a single brilliant feat. Everyone was stunned.
Wouldn't it hurt the horse's legs if it was nailed to the horse's hooves?
But a smart person like Li You wouldn't have thought of this, right?
"You 'er, don't keep me in suspense.”Li Shi Min was getting impatient and urged again.
"Your son originally wanted to say that they kept interrupting me.”Li You said aggrievedly, and even specially glanced at Yuchi Gong.
Li Shi Min didn't say anything, but he also looked at Yuchi Gong with an unfriendly gaze. Yuchi Gong's body turned cold, and he smiled awkwardly. He retreated back to his seat and didn't say anything else.
When the others saw this scene, they naturally did not dare to say any more nonsense and handed the right to speak to Li You.
"Imperial Father, lords, perhaps you don't know, but the thick black armor under the hooves is actually a horse's fingernail. It is used to protect the hooves.”Li You said seriously," If it was used naturally, it would not require such a large amount of consumption, so it would be enough. However, for military training, the intensity would increase, so it would naturally not be enough. Therefore, you only need to use a semi-circular iron sheet and nail it to the horse's hooves. This can ensure that the iron sheet is worn out and not the horse's hooves. When the iron sheet is worn out, you can replace it with a new one and use it repeatedly. There is no need to consume the horse because of the wear and tear of the horse's hooves. This King calls it horseshoes. What do you think?“
Li Shi Min and the ministers were once again dumbfounded. Then, they stomped their feet and pounded their chests in regret.
It was such a simple question, but why didn't anyone think of it? They had let Li You swindle another pile of IOU for nothing.
Other people's debts could be repudiated, but this old man's debt could not be repudiated. Even Zhangsun Wuji, this scheming person, was not his match. If he was beaten until he vomited blood, others would be played to death.
"It's laughable that I, the so-called Great Tang War God, couldn't even think of such a simple solution.”"If I had the horseshoes back then," Li Jing said with a self-deprecating smile,"I wouldn't have to spend so much money to attack the Eastern Turks. I could've saved at least half of the cost."”
However, the total amount of warhorses used to train these 30,000 cavalrymen was definitely much more than the amount of grain and weapons used to train all the infantrymen. This was truly a war that was bought with money.
If they had horseshoes, thirty thousand cavalrymen would be able to save more than twice the amount of money needed to train their warhorses. It was definitely an astronomical figure.
"This old man acted as the Minister of Revenue, but I couldn't think of the wonderful use of this horseshoe. How much money did I waste for nothing?”The Minister of Revenue, Tang Jian, also said with a guilty expression.
"Beloved minister, rise. Zhen also feels gratified.”Li Shiming was full of smiles. This son of his had made him proud again. Li You was really awesome. He smiled at Li You and said,"You 'er, you're very good. I've decided to reward you greatly.”
"Hehe, what are you saying, Imperial Father? We are all family, so why are you so calculative?”Li You waved the IOU in his hand and said with a wicked smile,"Just cash the IOU.”
Li Shi Min and the other ministers were speechless. Damn it, can you take back all the praise from before? This bastard is too wicked.
It's not like we don't want to return this bit of money, but you still have to bring it up again in person. Where do you want us to put our faces!
"Get out!" Li Shi Min roared.
"Yes, Imperial Father." Li You smiled and agreed. He quickly ran out as if he had been waiting for this sentence.
Li Shimin and the ministers were dumbfounded. Why did it feel like they had been set up by Li You again?
"Your Majesty, aren't you being a bit rash? We seem to have forgotten an important matter to discuss with King Qi.”Fang Xuanling reminded with a bitter smile.
"What is it?" Li Shi Min asked subconsciously.
"Horseshoes." "King Qi hasn't given us the shape of the horseshoe yet." Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly.”
The history books and ministers were cursing in their hearts. They were so angry that they forgot about the proper business.
However, if they were to invite him back now, Li Shiming and the ministers would lose face, so they could only be tough to the end.
"Hmph, there's no hurry.”Li Shi Min said firmly,"I will let him hand over the design to the general supervisor and put it into production." Let's discuss the matter of holding back first today.”
The court returned to its normal order, and Li You had also found the person who was deliberately looking for a scolding and wanted to see even if he was kicked out of the court.
"Little Chengyang, you came here specifically to look for me, right?”Li You said with a smile as he picked up Princess Chengyang.
