Chapter 73 Awarded to the Ministry of Official Work
Seeing that the two of them really didn't know, Li Mu was slightly happy. It was originally a consumable for leveling up, but unexpectedly it turned into a small invention. Li Mu cleared his throat and took on the posture of selling to Party B's company in his previous life. In his mind
He quickly formed a story and said: "This is a little experiment for me. I don't know if it can work yet. I hope all the elders can correct me. When I was captured, I was feeding horses in the Turkic camp at first, and I was with him all day long.
The horses hung out together for a long time, and I discovered something."
Cheng Yaojin was impatient and said: "Hurry up! What's the matter?"
"The rules of how Turks kill horses." Li Mu said: "Although there are many horses in the Turkic camp, they don't kill horses often. They only kill horses when their hoofs are damaged!"
"Isn't this nonsense!"
"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet." Li Mu added: "I originally thought that the degree of wear on the horse's hoofs should be related to the age of the horse. The older the horse, the more serious the wear on the hoofs, but in fact
After observation, I found that this was not the case. At that time, the Turkic camp gathered remnant soldiers, and there were tribes from all over the world. I observed that the horse hooves of the Gobi tribes wore out faster than those of the grassland tribes!"
"Another nonsense! Is it the same if you step on stones and on turf?"
Li Mu ignored it and continued: "At that time, I was thinking that the hoofs of horses are the same, but because they live in different environments, the degree of wear and tear is different. People also live in different environments, so why are the wear and tear of the feet not the same?
What’s the difference?”
Cheng Yaojin answered again and said: "Everyone wears shoes, take them off and try!"
"Hold on!" Li Mu finally responded to him and said, "That's the truth. People can wear shoes, why can't horses? If shoes are put on horses, wouldn't they be able to withstand the wear and tear of the hooves just like people?"
Cheng Yaojin subconsciously opened his mouth and wanted to answer, but when he heard what Li Mu said, he suddenly didn't know how to answer. Yes, this is another nonsense, but the problem is, how come no one can think of such a simple truth?
Woolen cloth?
Li Mu picked up a branch, squatted down and drew the shape of a horse's hoof on the ground, and said: "Everyone, please look at this picture, this is what a horse's hoof looks like." As he said this, Li Mu pointed to the horse next to him, and then he
The finished horseshoe was placed on the pattern: "The iron piece I made can just cover the place where the horse's hoof contacts the ground. At the same time, it can hold the horseshoe together to prevent the horse's hoof from cracking when it steps on a hard object.
On ordinary roads, the hardest thing is gravel, but gravel is not as hard as iron, so it cannot hurt horses' hooves."
After speaking, Li Mu clapped his hands and stood up, saying: "I'm thinking it could be of some use, but I haven't tested it yet. I don't know if it really has the expected effect."
This sentence is also nonsense, it has been said so clearly, and all fools know that it will definitely have an effect. Cheng Yaojin and Li Bi did not speak, nor did the servants present. They were not shocked, but they were all thinking
, why didn’t I think of such a simple thing?
Cheng Yaojin took a deep breath, suppressed the thought of doubting his own intelligence, and said: "Boy, this is the business you want to do with me? This is not possible. Although you are clever, everyone can see it at a glance.
Understand, you can’t make any money.”
Li Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: "How can you make money with this? It's just a flash of cleverness. If it can be used, it will be known to everyone in the world. If fewer horses can be damaged because of this, wouldn't it be a blessing to the Tang Dynasty?"
"What a blessing from the Tang Dynasty!"
Suddenly there was a shout of applause from the door of the martial arts arena, and everyone turned around. It turned out that it was Li Shimin who had arrived, with Eunuch Gao behind him, and Li Ji beside him. Everyone quickly saluted, and Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "We are not in the court, so there is no need.
Respectfully. I came here today because someone asked me to discuss a private matter with Li Mu, so I came here specially. I didn’t expect to hear such a reply, and I felt very relieved. Li Mu is young, has extraordinary intelligence, and
Being able to think about the country is extremely rare, very good, very good!"
Li Mu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is so ridiculous that I don't dare to accept it. It's just a few pieces of iron. It's nothing. I just paid more attention to it."
"You don't have to be too humble when you love me." Li Shimin came over, picked up a horseshoe, looked at it carefully and put it down, saying: "Although this thing is simple, no one has thought of it for thousands of years, but you have thought of it. Isn't this your skill?
And although this thing is small, it is of great use. Good horses are rare, and good horses often have to be abandoned due to worn hoofs. With this thing, I don’t know how many good horses’ lives can be saved. I, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty,
You will also benefit a lot from this thing. This is not a small contribution, and I should reward you."
"I dare not accept any more rewards from Your Majesty. I am young and lucky enough to be favored by Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor. I have been granted the title of County Marquis. I am extremely worried and uneasy. I know in my heart that my small achievements are not enough to support the position of Marquis. I can only
I hope that I can share more of your majesty's worries and feel more at peace in my heart. It's just a few pieces of iron. If your majesty rewards me again, I won't know how to face the world. I sincerely ask your majesty not to reward me anymore."
As he said this, Li Mu was shouting in his heart, Li Shimin, you are the emperor of the ages. Don't be influenced by this brat like me. You must stick to your own opinion. The less you are allowed to be rewarded, you must be rewarded. You must be rewarded.
Such a temper!
Li Shimin said with a smile: "There are too many people who cannot reflect on themselves, so they often blame themselves and feel sorry for themselves. I am very happy that you can have such knowledge at your age. Don't worry, I won't reward you with a title or a fortune, but I can reward you with one."
Opportunities to display your talents. In the past few days, Maogong has advised you several times, saying that you are still young and cannot be awarded a high official because of your title. I also think so in my heart, so I have not given you an official for a long time. Today I saw your
Oddly, I suddenly feel that the Ministry of Industry is very suitable for you, so I will appoint you as a doctor in the Ministry of Industry and take up the post tomorrow."
Li Mu was confused after hearing this. He wanted to know what the Ministry of Industry did and what rank the doctor was, but he couldn't ask in this situation, so he had to hide his doubts in his heart and accept the order to thank him.
At this time, Li Shimin saw Cheng Yaojin and said with a smile: "Zhijie, you haven't been in court for a few days. Why are you angry with me?"
No matter how scoundrel Cheng Yaojin was, he would not dare to be presumptuous in front of Li Shimin. He bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I have been feeling cold these past few days. I feel better. I will go to court tomorrow."
Li Shimin didn't reveal anything, nor did he ask why Cheng Yaojin appeared here. He smiled, nodded, and said: "I came today to discuss a private matter with Li Mu. Mr. Mao, I can lend you your place."
One use?”
Li Ji quickly said: "Your Majesty, please."
Li Mu looked at Li Ji for help, wanting to know what kind of private matter could help Li Shimin. Li Ji shook his head and said he didn't know. Li Mu had no choice but to follow the two of them anxiously to Li Ji's study.
