After the shock, Qiushou suddenly remembered and asked,"
"But my lord, what are horseshoes and stirrups? What was the difference between a straight and curved shaft plow?”
The two of them were bewildered again.
The official in charge of the smithing workshop chuckled as he took out the three items and explained in detail,
"This is a curved shaft plow. Compared to a straight shaft plow, its efficiency is increased by more than 30%.
"It is also an invention of His Highness!”
Qiushou and Tian Feng were shocked and clicked their tongues in wonder."This item can make it convenient for farmers and increase the efficiency of farming. We should vigorously develop it!”
"My lord also said so." "It's a pity that we've gone through so many great battles. Our Chang Mountain's ironware reserves are not enough.”
"Don't worry, I've already sent people to look for iron ore and buy iron.”Liu Chen comforted with a faint smile.
This delighted the official from the Blacksmith's Academy. He said excitedly,""If that's the case, then horseshoes and stirrels can be mass-produced.”
"Quickly tell me what horseshoes and stirrels are. They can actually be compared to these divine artifacts?”Tian Feng asked curiously.
Movement-type printing and curved plows were divine weapons that benefited the people. Horseshoes and stirrups made them even more curious!
The official of the Blacksmith's Academy carefully took it out from the secret place and explained in a boastful manner,
"This is it! Don't think that it's simple. Horseshoes can prevent the horses 'hooves from being damaged and reduce the consumption of horses!
" The stirrups can allow a knight to ride on a horse as if it were flat ground. Their overall strength will be greatly improved, and even ordinary soldiers can easily ride a horse!”
The official's words made Qiushou and Tian Feng gasp in shock!
Horseshoes!
It seemed simple, but it could actually reduce the wear and tear of the hooves and horses!
This was simply a divine artifact!
It was a divine weapon that could make all the soldiers of the Great Han Dynasty go crazy over!
One had to know that the Great Han Dynasty had very few horses, and most of them were bought from outside the Great Wall. If there was a war, or if they were to ride horses for a long time, the hoofs would wear out greatly, and the horses would consume a lot of energy!
Now, with horseshoes, it was like humans had feet. This was an unprecedented invention!
It was enough to change the direction of an era!
Stirrup!
It shocked the two of them even more!
Nowadays, cavalrymen needed to go through many years of training before they could control horses. This was because they needed to clamp the horse with their legs, and they needed to have extremely high leg skills.
Therefore, the training of cavalry was extremely difficult and costly!
However, with the stirrups, the cavalry could walk as if they were walking on flat ground. Not only did their power increase, but even ordinary soldiers could also ride horses!
Qiushou and Tian Feng were even more confident. With just a little training, they could easily ride horses for long distances without relying on carriages!
It looked like a simple structure, but it could change the direction of a battlefield!
The more Qiushou and Tian Feng watched, the more shocked and horrified they became. Their hearts were in turmoil!
"This item was also invented by His Highness!”
The official from the Blacksmith's Academy chuckled and said,""When the iron weapons arrive, the entire army will be equipped with horseshoes and stirrels. Our Chang Shan Cavalry will become the number one cavalry of the Great Han!”
"It's difficult for us to compare to the Lord's wisdom!”
"These items seem simple, but in fact, they show the result of my lord's great wisdom!" Qiushou sighed.”
"Of course. Otherwise, why hasn't anyone researched such an object since ancient times? It could only be said that his lord's wisdom was unprecedented!”
Tian Feng sighed.
They had just entered the Imperial Residence today, yet they were amazed by Liu Chen's continuous display of intelligence.
He easily solved the case, and the unjust, false, and wrong cases were resolved in less than fifteen minutes!
He even invented movable type printing, curved beam plow, horseshoes, stirrups, saddles, and other inventions that could change an era!
"My lord will definitely leave his name in history!" The two of them looked at each other and said in unison.
Liu Chen smiled and said," It's not that my wisdom is extraordinary. It's just that the Confucians are in power now. All things are inferior except for reading. This limits the crystallization of human wisdom.”
Liu Chen's words caused Qiushou and Tian Feng's expressions to change. After all, they had been educated by the Confucians, so they would naturally stand on the side of the Confucians.
But after thinking about it, regardless of whether they accepted it or not, they realized that what Liu Chen said was the truth!
"Discard all schools of thought and only respect Confucianism!"
" Dong Zhongshu's proposal will be approved and implemented by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty," Qiushou said helplessly." The Hundred Schools of Thought Contest will also disappear!"”
"This is a way to suppress development, but it can determine the status of the ruling class and the royal power.”Tian Feng said defiantly,
"But at the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wasn't wrong. This Confucianism is a mixture of Daoism, Legalism, Yin-Yang, and the Five Elements.
"It reflects the 'compatibility' and 'development' characteristics of Confucianism. It is a new idea that keeps pace with the times.
"However, with the changes of the times, it has gradually changed. Some pedantic scholars use Confucian ideas to swindle and deceive people, and even sit high in the court.
"Can someone like Yuan Fu still be considered a Confucian student?”
Qiushou's expression changed slightly.”
Liu Chen smiled and said,"It's fine. Yuan Hao's intentions are exactly what I want!" This is also the reason why This King established medical schools, primary schools, middle schools, and universities!”
"Oh?"
Qiushou and Tian Feng were stunned and asked in confusion,""May I know what my lord's intentions are?"
Liu Chen said meaningfully,
"This king wants to restore the glory of the Hundred Schools of Thought! All things are inferior, only reading is high, this statement is not wrong.
"However, studying is not a way out, nor is it to study for the sake of being an official.
"They can study astronomy, geography, physics, and chemistry, not just for the sake of being filial and honest officials.
"There is no distinction between high and low occupations. In this king's opinion, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen can also be treated equally!”
Liu Chen's words shocked Qushou, Tian Feng, and the small officials who were printing!
In this era, the scholars who studied hard were more noble than those who farmed, worked, and did business!
If Liu Chen's idea of equality was spread, he would probably be scolded to death by the scholars of the world!
After the shock, Qiushou and Tian Feng asked in confusion,""My lord, I know astronomy and geography, but what are physics and chemistry?”
"I can't explain it clearly in a few words. Wait until this king has written the book, and you will be able to understand it after studying it.”
"This king can only say that it's research that can change an era!" Liu Chen said indifferently.”
"We look forward to it." Qiushou and Tian Feng bowed respectfully.
