Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

The invention of the horseshoe can be traced back to the first century BC, and it is said that it was invented by the ancient Romans. Its biggest function is to protect the horse's hoof, slow down the wear of the horse's hoof, and by the way, help the horse's hoof to grip the ground more firmly, which greatly improves the stability whether it is riding or driving. It can be said that a horseshoe is to a horse what a pair of good shoes is to an athlete.

It's a pity that in the time and space that Li Xin is familiar with, such a good thing was not introduced to China until the Yuan Dynasty, let alone the current Tang Dynasty, there is nowhere to find it.

Of course, Chen Yin also saw the horseshoe for the first time. He carefully took the curved iron bar that Li Xin threw out in his hand, and looked at it over and over several times, but he couldn't see the mystery of this thing at all, and he didn't understand why there was Li Xin in this thing. said effect.

"Is this thing as miraculous as you said?" Chen Yin finally raised his head and couldn't help but look at Li Xin and asked. Although this is a question, the tone is not doubt, but question. He really doesn't understand horseshoes.

Yes, Chen Yin never doubted whether Li Xin was lying.

This is the tacit understanding between smart people. Chen Yin knew very well that Li Xin would not lie about something so obvious, so easy to verify, and so important. After all, telling such a lie is of no benefit to Li Xin, and it is purely thankless. If he really can't solve the situation, he can just walk away, why bother?

Li Xin said with a smile: "There is no evidence for what you say, why don't Mr. Chen go out with me to have a look?"

"Go out and have a look?" Chen Yin repeated suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine Li Xin sold in the gourd.

Why go out and see? Is there something outside the Chen family mansion?

Full of doubts, Chen Yin followed Li Xin out of the study room, walked all the way outside, and came to the gate of the Chen Mansion. The carriage that Li Xin was riding in was still parked on the wide street outside.

This was the first time Chen Yin saw Li Xin's carriage, and he had never noticed it before.

"Four wheels, and it looks weird. Is there any mystery?" Chen Yin asked, pointing to the carriage.

Li Xin smiled and explained the relationship between the front suspension and the carriage, and briefly introduced the principle of the four-wheeled carriage turning, which made Chen Yin nod repeatedly. He approached Li Xin's carriage, touched the connection between the rear compartment and the front suspension with his hand, and praised, "His Royal Highness Chu Wang is indeed very ingenious."

Li Xin smiled, said without saying a word, "That's not the point. Let's ask Mr. Chen to look at the horse's hooves."

The coachman was very discerning, and after hearing what his lord said, he stepped forward and let the horse raise its front hooves in cooperation, so that Chen Yin could see the mystery clearly. Surrounded by so many strangers, the horse snorted anxiously. The coachman patted its head and calmed it down.

Chen Yin bent down slightly, squinted his eyes, and finally saw clearly that there was a curved iron bar nailed under the horse's hoof, which was shaped like the so-called horseshoe that Li Xin gave him in his hand.

After a long time, Chen Yin straightened up, smiled wryly, and said, "No one has ever thought of such a simple method. His Royal Highness Chu can think of what ordinary people can't, and it's really amazing."

Just looking at the curved iron bar in his hand, and hearing the name "horseshoe" from Li Xin, is indeed enough to make people think that this thing may be used on horseshoes. However, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Chen Yin really couldn't imagine that the correct usage of this thing was to nail it to the horseshoe.

As the saying goes, it is better to see than to hear a hundred times. After seeing what a horseshoe nailed to a horseshoe with his own eyes, Chen Yin has fully understood why Li Xin said that this thing can extend the life of a horse to more than twice the original ——Nonsense, there is a hard iron bar between the horseshoe and the rough road. Of course, it can protect the horseshoe and reduce its wear and tear. Wouldn't the service life be extended naturally?

Moreover, it is said that it has been extended to more than two times, and this number is probably a bit underestimated. Even if it is said to be extended to more than three times, it is not uncommon.

Alas, to be honest, isn't this just putting a pair of shoes on the horse? How come everyone knows how to wear shoes, but people here don't understand?

Chen Yin sighed inwardly, and couldn't help but look at Li Xin again with burning eyes.

Ordinary people may not know it, but Chen Yin, who is in a high position, knows very well that he can think out of the box and use unconventional methods to perfectly solve conventional problems. This is a weapon that seems inconspicuous but is actually extremely powerful , to say it is worth thousands of dollars is an insult to it. This way of thinking is priceless.

And Li Xin is an extremely smart young man who can use this way of thinking brilliantly.

Although he knew that his attempt to bring Li Xin into the court had failed, Chen Yin's thought that Li Xin must be the mainstay of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the future became more and more intense.

No, it is more than just the mainstay of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. If he is trained well, he must be a famous official who can leave a heavy mark in the history books and is worthy of special mention by historians!

Of course, Li Xin also noticed Chen Yin's fiery eyes, and immediately flinched subtly, taking half a step back without leaving any trace. Of course he doesn't know what Chen Yin is thinking at the moment, but he knows that no matter what Chen Yin is thinking, it will probably not be a good thing for him, and it may cause some troubles.

He coughed twice to remind Chen Yin not to be distracted, and then said: "About the horseshoe, in fact, this junior still has some things that I want to demonstrate to Mr. Chen."

Chen Yin asked: "What is it?" As an old fox, losing a round to the little fox is certainly a little embarrassing, but he is not such a heartless person. On the contrary, he is in a good mood and appreciates Li Xin more and more. After all, the more outstanding young people are, the brighter the future of Datang, and the more outstanding Li Xin is, the happier Chen Youlan will be in the future, isn't it?

No matter whether he was an important minister of the Tang Dynasty or Chen Youlan's father, Chen Yin could not give birth to any aversion to Li Xin.

Li Xin winked at Wang Gui who was always by his side, Wang Gui understood immediately, put his hand to his lips, and blew a long whistle.

"Master Chen, please take a look." Li Xin said to Chen Yin with a smile.

Chen Yingang wanted to ask what to see, but suddenly heard a slight sound from a distance. When he listened carefully, he showed a slightly stunned expression.

It was the sound of hooves, and there were still two.
