"Of course!"
Forging horseshoes was not a profound technique. Chu Han had the blacksmith skill rewarded by the system, so forging a horseshoe was a piece of cake.
When Li Xiu Ning heard this, she was pleasantly surprised and quickly said,""Then how many days can you make it?”
Chu Han pondered for a moment and said,""One day at the earliest, three days at the most!"
...
As a result, Li Xiu Ning got a set of ready-made blacksmith tools and dozens of pounds of iron ingots from somewhere to help Chu Han forge the horseshoe as quickly as possible.
Not only that, but Li Xiu Ning also took on the responsibility of being a full-time housewife. She did almost everything by herself and fully supported Chu Han in making horseshoes.
Chu Han was also happy. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he could also use the horseshoes he forged for his Youzhou cavalry. Naturally, he would do his best to make them.
In just a day and a half, Chu Han had forged a set of four horseshoes.
After the horseshoe was made, it was natural to carry out experiments. After eating lunch that day, Li Xiu Ning couldn't wait to pull Chu Han out to the horse farm to experiment.
However, as soon as they left, they met Li Shimin and Du Ruhui, so they could only delay the matter and return to the courtyard.
Changle served the tea.
After everyone drank, Chu Han asked,""Father-in-law, brother-in-law, why did you come to my Three Treasures Palace today?”
"Cough cough ~"
Li Shimin almost choked on his tea. This is clearly my Prince Qin's mansion! Why is it your Three Treasures Palace?
He took a sip of tea and calmed himself down before saying,"The first batch of Western Turkic reinforcements has set off!”
Chu Han nodded slightly.”
"There's no problem," Li Shiming said after a moment of silence."It's just that the Western Turkic envoy hasn't left yet. I don't know what's going on."”
"The Western Turks are naturally still on guard against the Great Tang," Chu Han said with a smile."Even though they are allies, who can guarantee that they won't betray us?"”
"That's true." Li Shi Min agreed.
"But don't worry. He'll probably go back soon," Chu Han continued.
Li Shiming nodded. In any case, the envoy wouldn't be able to discover anything without making contact with the Eastern Turks.
"I saw you and Ruonan carrying a bag of things out just now. What are you doing?" he asked.”
Without waiting for Chu Han to speak, Li Xiu Ning said first,"Husband made a pair of horseshoes. We were just about to go to the horse farm to experiment!”
"Horseshoes?"
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui looked at each other in confusion. What was this new thing?
"What is a horseshoe?" Li Shimin asked.”
Li Xiu Ning thought for a moment and explained.
"Horseshoes are the shoes of a horse. With horseshoes, the hooves of a horse won't be worn out, and it will run faster and more steadily than usual.”
Li Shi Min was surprised. He put on the shoes for the horse! This idea was somewhat unbelievable.
He had never thought about it before, but after hearing Li Xiu Ning's words today, it seemed that after putting shoes on the horses, the abilities of the horses would increase by at least 20 - 30%!
Especially when the time spent in service was longer, it was even more important! After all, the training of warhorses was very expensive!
This could save the court a lot of money.
"If that's the case, why don't we go to the horse track and try?" Li Shi Min said immediately.”
...
Chu Han and the others came to the horse farm. Perhaps it was because Li Shimin was a second-rank official, but when the horse farm owner knew that Chu Han wanted to do the "horseshoe experiment", he immediately agreed.
After randomly picking a black horse, Chu Han took out a horseshoe and prepared to install it.
Li Shimin saw the U-shaped horseshoe in Chu Han's hand and asked,""Isn't this putting shoes on the horses? Why is it something like this?"
"And what are you planning to do with the nails and hammer in your hands?”
Chu Han didn't explain. Li Xiu Ning explained on his behalf,""Brother, this is a horseshoe. Horseshoes don't feel pain, so you can directly nail the horseshoe to the horse's hoof!”
...
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui couldn't understand.
Horseshoes don't feel pain?
Directly nailed to the horse's hooves?
The two of them felt as if they were listening to a fantasy story. However, the next scene shocked the two of them.
Chu Han acted as if nothing had happened. He took the razor and cut at the horse's hoof. The cuticle at the bottom was cut off in an instant.
Immediately after, Chu Han picked up the hot U-shaped branding iron in the fire bucket and branded a " U-shaped mark " on the horse's hoof.
Li Shiming and Du Ruhui were driven mad by this scene. Was the horse in front of them a dead horse?
Why was there no reaction at all?
Even Li Xiuning was a little surprised. Her husband was really bold!
At this time, Chu Han simply fixed the " U-shaped " horseshoe to the back of the horse's hoof. He directly aimed the nail at the hole in the horseshoe and hit it with a hammer.
Clang!
Li Shiming and Du Ruhui subconsciously took a step back. They were still worried that the horses would go crazy.
One had to know that it was very terrifying for a horse to go crazy.
However, the horse did not move. It continued to swing its ponytail and eat the grain.
A nail had already been nailed into the horseshoe that Chu Han had fixed with one hand! Moreover, the nail had completely sunk into the horse's hoof!
"How is this possible?"
" The horse's hooves really don't hurt?"
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui felt their worldview subverted. Even Li Shimin, who had been on the battlefield for many years, had never thought that the posthouse road could not feel pain.
While they were still in shock, Chu Han had already nailed the four horseshoes.
The horse with the horseshoes seemed to be especially happy as it walked around Chu Han happily.
The sound of the horse stance was also a little crisp.
Li Xiu Ning and the other two were dumbfounded, because the horse was walking much faster than before!
What if he ran?
How much faster?
