Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 73 Biting gold and asking for "bribery" (recommended)
Horseshoes, Hoe He personally thinks that the ancients would have this idea, and the reason why it has not been promoted is not because horseshoes are difficult to make, but because the "nails" that play a fixed role are difficult to get. If you want to maintain toughness and strength, this is very important to ancient times. The iron smelting technology is a big test.Real nails only appeared in modern history. In ancient times, if you want to make them, you can only make them by hand or grind them. The smaller the things, the harder it is to hit, and the grinding is also very labor-intensive. Therefore, they can be classified as luxury goods.

"This gift is too heavy, I can't accept it." After Qin Qiong said so, he reluctantly glanced at the compass in his hand, and handed it out resolutely.

"Let my little brother see how valuable it is." Cheng Yaojin cheekily took it from Qin Qiong's hand with lightning speed, and the compass was in his hand. He was very unconvinced when Qin Qiong reprimanded him. I can't figure out why such a small thing is said by Qin Qiong to be the same as a rare treasure.

Cheng Yaojin took it and fiddled with it for a while, as if he had a toothache, he gasped for no other reason: this thing is so good, not to mention more compact than a compass car, and the direction it points is more accurate.Cheng Yaojin is convinced now, the compass is better than the glass bottle that Cheng Huaimo said twice before, although they are all unique, but this one is more practical. (In the Tang Dynasty, the direction of the army was still guided by the combination of compass carts and astrology. Only in the Song Dynasty did the method of magnetic fish fillets be used to identify the direction.)
Cheng Yaojin didn't say anything, and handed the compass to Qin Qiong. He still favors Qin Qiong in his heart. For such a good thing, there will be no such shop after passing this village.

Qin Qiong took the compass from Cheng Yaojin's hand, and his eyes drifted from the compass to Jin Yu. It seemed that he still couldn't have it, not that he didn't dare to have it.Before he could open his mouth, Jin Yu hurriedly said: "This is a little thought from the kid. It's still idle for the kid, and it will be more useful if I give it to you."

"Then the old man will be disrespectful, haha!" Qin Qiong saw that Jinyu's words were very sincere, so he stopped being hypocritical, and boldness is Qin Qiong's true nature.

Qin Qiong is bold, but some people are not happy.Qin Jiashi, who was whispering aside, was startled by Qin Qiong's sudden burst of laughter, and dissatisfied: "The voice is so loud, it can scare a cow to death."

"Haha, let's go, the four of us go out and talk, let their mothers talk about their innermost feelings." Qin Qiong didn't care about his wife's blame, but still wanted to have a place to talk.

"Come on, I just went to see the saddle made by Gui Tang." Cheng Yaojin listened to Qin Qiong's suggestion to go out, and naturally agreed, he was still thinking about the stronger saddle.

"What saddle? Guitang, you know a lot of things, ha ha." Qin Qiong stood up with Qin Huaiyu's support. Although her legs were no longer trembling compared to before, it still felt like she was struggling.

Hearing Qin Qiong's detailed inquiry, Jin Yu didn't dare to hide his secrets. He told the cause and effect again, and naturally concealed the pain in the balls. Instead, he said that the inner thighs were worn out. Even so, it was still funny Everyone laughed.

"Brother Jin, can you let Huaiyu have a try?" Qin Huaiyu finally asked when the waiter brought out Jinyu's horse. He still spoke as little as before, and his words were still the same as before.He has seen it many times on the way, and naturally found different places, because he also had the idea of ​​making contributions since he was a child, and now there is a piece of equipment that can enhance his riding and shooting ability, how can Qin Huaiyu not be tempted?

Jin Yu didn't dare to agree, but turned his attention to Qin Qiong, which means, you are the master of your house, and it's not my fault if your baby falls.Qin Qiong was amused by Jin Yu's actions, "It's true in the old man's house, but Tang has the final say on what belongs to Tang."

Before Jin Yu could open his mouth, Cheng Yaojin sneered at Jin Yu with a loud voice: "You are a slippery boy, and you don't want to take on the responsibility at all, which makes people look irritating!" Then he went to support Qin Qiong, and took Qin Huaiyu's place Come on, and said to Qin Huaiyu who agreed: "You try first, and try another old man later."

"Father, what about me?" Cheng Huaimo, who was on the side, couldn't help asking because he didn't hear his father making arrangements for him.

"Didn't you ride it before? I think it's good for your brother Jin to make a pair." Cheng Yaojin couldn't bear to beg him, so he took the opportunity to encourage Cheng Huaimo to ask Jin Yu for a saddle.

"Brother, do you think it's ten sets of eight sets for my younger brother?" Cheng Huaimo was shy, with a coquettish smile, Jin Yu wished he could slap him twice, and return ten sets of eight sets?Who has time to tinker with this thing?If it weren't for his father watching here, Jin Yu would have kicked him out, making him go as far as his thoughts go.

"The saddle made in the Tang Dynasty must be customized according to the type of horse, right?" Qin Qiong watched Qin Huaiyu ride the horse for a while, and it was indeed much more stable. At the same time, he also relieved Jin Yu when he asked, Cheng Huaimo's ten sets and eight sets were also ruined. Yes, that's cool in my heart!

"Back to Uncle Qin, it is indeed custom-made. Only in this way can it be more stable. Later, Uncle Qin and Uncle Cheng can send craftsmen to the humble house to learn from each other. This is not difficult to make." Jin Yu didn't want to measure all the horses. body, and then make it to order, wouldn't I become a tailor?
The four of them were farting and chatting, while watching Qin Huaiyu's test ride on the martial arts field. He was very professional, jumping a hurdle, making a sudden brake and other difficult moves. No wonder the broker pushed the horse hard when he bought the horse, and said Although it is not a good breed, but the training is in place and the temper is good. After buying it, I didn’t feel any difference. I thought I was cheated, but I didn’t think I couldn’t!It seems that in this day and age, people place great importance on their own reputation and brand name, and they will not do the kind of shoddy, fake clothes, etc. in later generations to deceive their ears and steal the bell.

After a while, Qin Huaiyu was sweating profusely. Although he was not familiar with this horse, it was better because the horse was friendly with people and had been trained. When Qin Huaiyu stopped the horse, the horse neighed for a long time, which was very refreshing. , it seems that Jin Yu is holding back others, and finally bowed his head to the intimate layers of Qin Huaiyu's arms.

"Good! The saddle made by brother Jin is good to use. It is smoother and more stable when riding on it. My brother often feels like he is about to fall off when using the original saddle, and the saddle will slip, but brother Jin will not. , It’s so cool! If I use this in the army, I believe I will be invincible against the Tang army!” Qin Huaiyu has such a rough and rude side under his gentle appearance, it seems that there is some hormone secretion Surplus, still belongs to the adolescents in the developmental period, I don't know if they have long hair or not.

"Whether it is used in the army or not is up to you!" Qin Qiong is just such a child, the military is dangerous, and the sword has no eyes.Qin Qiong couldn't bear him to go to the battlefield, so after Qin Huaiyu finished speaking, Qin Qiong's face was a little unsightly, but it was Jinyu's first time here, so it was not easy to get angry.

"Brother, how is your yellow puma?" Seeing that Qin Qiong was angry, Cheng Huaimo quickly changed the subject, trying to divert Qin Qiong's attention.

"The horseshoe is too thin, I can't ride it anymore." Qin Qiong shook her head regretfully. It was a steed that had been with her for several years. The enemy, Luohualiushui, also drove himself away from the death zone at the most dangerous time. He had a fatal friendship, which was similar to the relationship between Jin Yu and the lion. Otherwise, why would Qin Qiong be so interested in the lion that day?

"Don't you have a horseshoe?" Jin Yu felt very strange when he heard it. It seems that horseshoes have been around for a long time, and he has learned them in textbooks.

"Horseshoe? What is a horseshoe?" Qin Qiong felt that this kid might have a way to cure his own yellow pussy horse when he heard Jinyu ask this.

"Uh```" Hearing Qin Qiong's question, Jin Yu felt that the ancients still seek truth from facts, or how to say "it is better to have no books than to believe in books", which is not comparable to the duck-feeding style of later generations. "It's just a bent iron bar, and then hit the horse's shoe with a nail."

"This is the first time this old man has heard of this statement. Isn't it smashed into a horse's bone?" Qin Qiong felt that this method was unreliable, so he shook his head and rejected it.

"No, there is a layer of dead skin on the horse's hoof, and the nails will not hurt the horse's bones if the nails are smashed into the dead skin."

"Then can Gui Tang do it? I'll try it, old man." Qin Qiong was a little tempted when he heard Jin Yu's swearing that it could be done.No one has seen this thing before, so I can only trouble Jinyu.

"The boy can't blacksmith, but he can draw it for craftsmen to imitate." Jin Yu felt a little ashamed. Others could pass through everything, so why was he so frustrated?

"That's okay, if there is hope, always try." Qin Qiong didn't force Jinyu to do it.

"Guitang, you see that you don't know many people in Chang'an. This time Brother Qin recognized Miss Yang as his goddaughter. Next, you have to find a matchmaker to buy a bride price. You probably won't be too busy?" Cheng Yaojin Turning his eyes, he thought about it, and interjected: "How about this, your matchmaker, the old man will do it. As for the bride price, the old man will come out, and if you feel bad, you can give the old man to Sinan like Brother Qin?"

"You Cheng Heizi! How shameless!" Qin Qiong was happy when he heard Cheng Yaojin's words, and laughed and scolded: "This matchmaker needs an ax and a scale. You are the ancestor who played with axes. If you don't look for you, who else can you look for? The stinky idea of ​​exchanging a bride price for Sinan really belongs to you!"

"My little brother also likes this Sinan very much." Cheng Yaojin admitted to Qin Qiong cheekily, and then said to Jin Yu: "Is it okay, tell me! Why are you like the old lady?"

After hearing this comment, Jin Yu almost fainted, why is this person like this?I didn't beg him for a gift, but bought and sold by force!After all, he is an elder, so it's not easy for Jin Yu to hit him, right?If he really did it, he would definitely lie down and go out, and it would be the kind of burial directly.

"Thank you Uncle Cheng for your kindness. There is really only one Sinan boy, and he can't make it." Jin Yu saw Cheng Yaojin's face from sunny to cloudy, and continued: "But the boy still has a 'Thousand Miles'. You can use this to see clearly from far away places.”
