Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the various vassal states had placed great importance on warhorses.
The management of carriages and horses had formed a special system.
From the time King Mu of Zhou set up the position of Taipu to the time when Great Qin unified the world, he was even set up as one of the nine ministers.
It was enough to show the importance of horses to a country.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, horses that had been on the battlefield would be taken away by special personnel to take care of them for a period of time. If there was enough time, it would take a long time before they could enter the battlefield again.
It was to prolong the life of the warhorse so that its hooves would not break after a few battles.
" Hehe, since I said so, I naturally have a plan." Meng Fan smiled mysteriously and explained," If people can wear shoes, why not give the horses shoes?"”
"Put shoes on the horse?" Wang Jian was stunned." How do I wear this?”
" Don't you understand?" Meng Fan said with disdain. Old Wang, your brain doesn't quite believe it. Can't you just cast the iron into the shape of a horse's hoof and nail it under the horse's hoof?”
"This…" Wang Jian, who reacted, instantly widened his eyes.
Why didn't he think of such a simple method?
Horseshoes would wear out after running for a long time. Wouldn't it be better to put something under the hooves to prevent wear and tear?
Wang Jian slapped his forehead. He had never thought of a solution in his entire life in the military, but Meng Fan, a kid who had never been in the military, had thought of it!
He could not help but wonder if his brain was really useless.
Or was Meng Fan's brain more flexible?
However, this was not right. There had always been no lack of smart and capable people in the army. Why did these people not think of this?
Feeling Wang Jian's gaze, Meng Fan said proudly,""What's wrong? Shocked by my intelligence? Haha, it's fine to praise me directly. Don't be afraid that I'll be proud.”
Hearing him say this, Wang Jian instantly swallowed the praise that was just about to reach his mouth.
In his opinion, Meng Fan was smart, but this guy clearly didn't know what modesty was.
Every time she wanted to praise him, he would always be the first to show off.
How can I praise you?
He really deserved to be scolded!
"Old Wang, do you still think that cavalrymen can't replace chariots with saddles, stirrels, and horseshoes?”Meng Fan stopped smiling and asked.
Although he didn't want him to succeed, Wang Jian had to admit that with Meng Fan's stuff, chariots could really be replaced by cavalry.
It was even possible for cavalry to develop into an existence that surpassed chariots.
It would not be a problem for him to ascend to the throne of the main force on the battlefield.
After all, the existence of heavy cavalry was no different from a cheat in this era.
Wang Jian even couldn't wait to return to Xianyang and build a heavy cavalry.
But now that he had to teach the children, Wang Jian had to put away his expectations and said to Meng Fan with a straight face,""Are you done yet? Did he not care about the children in the literature class? Are you going to talk about the martial arts class or me?”
"Go ahead, go ahead. Of course, Old Wang, you're the one who's going to tell me!”
Seeing Wang Jian's embarrassment, Meng Fan smiled knowingly and stopped provoking him. He turned around and walked towards the literature class he was responsible for.
"Humph!" Seeing him leave, Wang Jian snorted coldly. He turned to the three children and said," Alright, since the light carriage is going to be eliminated by the knights, then let's talk about this material officer.”
"As the main force on the battlefield, there are many types of material officers. They are generally divided into two types: heavy soldiers and light soldiers. The former usually faces the enemy directly, charging into the enemy's formation and blocking attacks. The latter holds bows and is responsible for long-distance attacks. Among the heavy soldiers, according to the different weapons they hold, they can be divided into two types."
Wang Jian's endless explanation, the three children listened with great interest.
For the children who yearned for the army, these things always piqued their interest.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon.
Meng Fan and Wang Jian's lesson also came to an end. After sending the children off, the three prepared to eat as usual.
Ying Zheng and Wang Jian sat at the table, waiting for Meng Fan to start cooking.
"Your Majesty, your brain is really good this time!”Wang Jian praised Ying Zheng," You said this saddle, horse step, and horseshoes, how did this kid come up with them?”
Thinking of this, Wang Jian was puzzled,"He doesn't have any horses at home, how could he think of this?"”
Ying Zheng was also curious, but he still smiled and said,""I don't know. If the old general is curious, why don't you ask him directly?”
"En, this old minister will ask later!”Wang Jian nodded in deep agreement.
He really couldn't understand why Meng Fan's brain was so good even though they were both humans. He could come up with all sorts of weird ideas, but all of them were very practical and could help develop Great Qin!
Meng Fan cooked very quickly and soon came out with a few dishes.
Pushing the diet meal in front of Ying Zheng, Meng Fan encouraged,""Good luck, Old Zhao. Hold on for a few more days, and your belly will be completely reduced. At that time, I'll give you a taste of meat!”
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at him, then buried his head in the vegetables and fruits in front of him.
He had long been used to eating these things. It didn't matter if they didn't have any taste. He just stuffed them into his mouth!
