Chapter 58 Horseshoes

"Horseshoes? What is a horseshoe, sir?"

Liu Mingzhi moved his sore arm: "Uncle Ma, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know what a horseshoe is when you sell and raise horses?"

Qi Yun also looked at Liu Mingzhi confusedly, thinking that she just fell to her head: "Brother Liu, I have never heard of horseshoes."

"Isn't it possible that the Iron Dragon Dynasty, which is nailed on horseshoes to prevent the horseshoes from wearing out, doesn't have such things as horseshoes?"

"I have been raising horses for so many years and have never heard of what a horseshoe is. Can you explain it, Master?"

"I've never heard of it, little brother."

"Uncle Ma, wait a minute, let me ask you how long a good horse can ride now without damaging its hooves?"

"On a smooth road, it usually takes two or three years. If the road conditions are bad, the horse's hooves will wear out in more than a year, and it can only be done with regular training, so that the horse can grow new horns, otherwise it will be fine. In the end, horses can only be killed for meat, otherwise raising a waste horse that can’t be ridden would be a waste of food, as long as it takes time to take care of it.”

Liu Mingzhi picked it up suspiciously. The horse he was riding just now really had no horseshoes. The horns on the hoofs were so worn that the flesh was about to be exposed. No wonder it raised its front hooves and whined.

A horse without a horseshoe on its hooves is like a person without shoes. When a person runs without shoes, he will be injured and wailed when he steps on a stone. The same is true for horses.

Ma Biao took Liu Mingzhi all the way through all the places of the racecourse, and then he took a look at the hooves of dozens of good horses. .

Liu Mingzhi rubbed his forehead, and kept mumbling the word "horseshoe" on the way back from the racecourse to the mansion, causing Qi Yun and the two to think that Liu Mingzhi had lost his mind.

Good horses without horseshoes will be killed for meat in two or three years because of their hooves. If they are equipped with horseshoes and ride for five to ten years, it is not a big problem, but horseshoes are a weapon of the country in this era. If you do it yourself, should you present it to the court?
The next day.

"Uncle Ma, where is the best blacksmith shop in the city?"

"Huzi, take the young master to the blacksmith shop in the city, and you will lead the way."

"Yes, young master, you come with Xiao, and Xiao will lead the way for you."

"Master Wang, I'm here for business. My young master wants to build something. Do you think it's convenient for you now?"

Wangjiatiepu, a big man who was squatting at the door with a big bowl of tea, stood up: "Convenient, of course it is convenient, you guys can see what you want to make."

There are three or four men in short sleeves in the Wangjia Iron Shop making some farm tools.The fire was steaming hot, and the pieces of red-hot iron were taken out from it, and immediately two men smashed it with a sledgehammer and a small hammer, and the cooperation was seamless.

"Good craftsmanship, Master Wang is the best blacksmith in Yangzhou City."

"Young master has made a lot of praise. It's all to support the family, and the rough craftsmanship can barely see the past. What kind of object are you going to build, young master? We collect money based on the size of the object."

Liu Mingzhi took out the blueprint he drew last night and handed it to Master Wang. Qi Yun stretched out his head to see what was on the drawing. Yesterday, Liu Mingzhi was busy in the room mysteriously in the middle of the night, drawing this drawing. , is measuring the size of the horse's hooves, and is looking for a ruler or something, but the people in the horse house are tossed enough.

The most important thing is that Liu Mingzhi was busy but didn't tell everyone, just said one sentence and you will understand.

Master Wang put down the tea bowl in his hand and looked at the pattern on the drawing with a puzzled face: "This young master, you have never seen this thing you want to build before."

"The size is clearly marked. As for what this thing is used for, you don't need to worry about it. See if you can type it out?"

"Yes, yes, but it may take some time. After all, I have never hit this kind of object before, so the size is not easy to grasp."

"It's okay to build it, it doesn't matter if it takes a long time, what I want is the finished product."

"That's okay, young master, you can rest first, a certain family will make a charcoal fire."

"Okay, Master Wang is busy on his own, let's take a look."

The ding ding sound came from the iron shop of the Wang family, and Liu Mingzhi shook his head as if he was listening to playing the piano. The horseshoe thing was done, and the Liu family's business would definitely be improved, so that he could be more at ease. Playboy boy.

About half an hour or so, Master Wang wiped the sweat from his face and walked out with four hoof pieces in his hands: "Master, these things are really hard to fight, inexperienced, you have been waiting for a long time."

Liu Mingzhi looked at the four horseshoes with the same size and size as the drawings, and the more important thing was that the four real objects were exactly the same, as if they were poured out of a mold: "Good craftsmanship, ingenious technology, Wang This is definitely the craftsmanship of the master forging iron."

Liu Mingzhi gave Master Wang a thumbs up. No wonder he often heard that workers are workers and craftsmen are craftsmen. The title of craftsman is not so easy to get.

"You have to be a little bit of housekeeping, otherwise you won't smash your own brand."

He handed the horseshoe and nails to the tiger son, Liu Mingzhi, who took out a coin or two and handed it over: "Master Wang, it's hard work."

"This young master, this is too much, a hundred pennies is enough, I can't find a small shop."

"Wait a minute, Master Wang, listen to me, you can buy me another [-] sets of such items, and I will reuse them."

"Two thousand sets? Are they all iron pieces like this?"

"Yes, Master Wang, let's see if this can be done."

Master Wang said cheerfully: "Yes, of course, not to mention [-] sets, [-] sets will do."
