Yu Shinan and Shangguan Yi, these two are the most famous poets and writers in the early years of Zhenguan, Yu Shinan is good at calligraphy, and is one of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, and Shangguan Yi created the Shangguan style, and there are countless people to follow the trend.
Li Yexu said as he ran outside, and in the place where the gift was placed, he took out the congratulatory gift brought by Yu Wenzhe.
"Oh, what is this" Everyone was attracted by Li Yexu's words, and their eyes all fell on his hands.
The whisk girl took the gift in Li Yexu's hand, opened it, took out the two snow-white rice papers, and looked carefully, as time passed, the entire lobby was quiet, and they were all looking at the expression of the red whisk girl, and the red whisk girl slowly changed from shock to joy.
The birthday star presents color to Rulai, and the longevity of the field has been opened since then.
Shou Guo is full of raw haze, and Shouhua is newly planted with lotus tables.
Shou poems are elegant and wonderful, and Shou tunes are tuned according to the beauty.
The life span is the same as the sun and the moon, and the longevity is more leisurely like the mountains and seas.
I borrow a glass of wine to grow the spirit, I wish the noble and noble people in the high hall, the birthday feast is slightly fed, and I am more grateful for the grace of the future, if the South China Sea knows that virtue is so, the mountains and rivers will not grow old and spring will last.
"Zhe'er, this birthday poem is even more in harmony with the old man's body and mind" The red whisk girl read it unconsciously, and the whole hall was even quieter.
"Well, yes, there are so many longevity words, even my old Cheng also finds it interesting, it seems that General Lin Xiao can not only lead troops to fight, but also compose poems, this level is not ordinary" Cheng Yanjin's eyes widened, generally those who can lead troops to fight are rough people, and those who can reach the peak in both civil and military aspects have not been many since ancient times.
"Of course, Brother Lin is a must in terms of poetry, and the song that is circulating now is written by Brother Lin, and Brother Lin's poems are at least worth a thousand gold" Li Yexu glanced at Yu Wenzhe flatteringly and said loudly.
"Isn't the water tune song head composed by Hongzhi's strategy," Cheng Chumo pursed his lips and said.
"Hmph, you know a fart, Hongzhice is just like me back then, using Brother Lin's words to add color to himself, just a guy in name only" Li Yexu looked at Cheng Chumo with disdain and said.
"Hahaha, that's interesting, every time I go to Xunfang Pavilion, I can see Hongzhice in the VIP seat, showing a brilliant appearance, see if I don't expose him next time, I haven't sat in the VIP seat yet" "You rammer, don't shut up yet, don't look at what the occasion is now, get out of your Xunfang Pavilion, don't hurt Lao Tzu if you want to die."
Li Yexu looked at the various expressions of the people around him, especially Li Yesi's serious eyes, his expression changed greatly, and he immediately ran to Cheng Chumo's side and scolded in a low voice.
When there was no Yu Wenzhe, Li Yexu was afraid of two people, one was Li Jing, and the other was his brother Li Yehei.
Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment, lowered his head in disdain, skimmed Cheng Biting Jin with his residual vision, and found that Cheng Biting Jin's expression had not changed, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Wenzhe looked at Li Yexu at this time, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his heart, this guy is simply too undisciplined.
The generals also shook their heads with a smile, but they just regarded these as an episode and didn't pay too much attention to them.
"Young master, no wonder, your poem is much stronger than the birthday gift I prepared before, if I had known it, I wouldn't have wasted so much energy.
By the way, what the hell is that figure" Lin Ping looked at the amazed expressions of the Red Whisk Girl and the others, and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the Red Whisk Girl had already opened another piece of rice paper, looked at the figure on the rice paper, and showed a trace of doubt, "Zhe'er, what is this strange figure, it feels like" "It's like a horse's hoof," Yu Wenzhe smiled slightly and said.
"Yes, that's right, it does resemble a horse's hoof."
The red-whisked girl said, casually handing the figure to Li Jing on the side.
"It's a simple design, called a horseshoe, which can be put on the sole of the horse's feet to protect the horse's hooves from being worn out, what does the general think?"
Yu Wenzhe watched Li Jing take the rice paper, looked at the graphics on the paper but was silent, and couldn't help asking.
The horseshoe was introduced to the country in Europe during the Yuan Dynasty.
In ancient times, the main combat arm was cavalry, since it was cavalry, then the war horse was particularly important, why the northern pasture people were always very strong, because they had the best grassland in the world, the largest number of war horses.
Whenever the Turks raised an army, each cavalry carried at least two or three horses, and if they wanted to fight against the Turkic cavalry, they had to do the same, but this resulted in a lot of military spending.
After all, the Han people in the Central Plains are different from the people of the northern grasslands, who grew up on horseback since they were children, and whenever they go out on an expedition, they ride their own horses, and it is easy to pull together an army of cavalry.
In the Central Plains, farming is a livelihood, and the most important point is that in the Han Plain, war horses are rare, and there are essential differences between the two sides.
The horse's hooves are made up of only two layers, one layer of hard keratin about two centimeters thick that comes into contact with the ground, and the top layer of live keratin.
When the horse's hooves are in contact with the ground, they will fall off quickly due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of the water, and the horses will not be able to go out again, and they must have a lot of time to rest and recuperate.
It can be said that such a small problem caused a war horse to be unusable, so when the cavalry was formed, the number of war horses must be used to make up for such a defect.
The use of horseshoes not only protects the horse's hooves, but also makes the horse's hooves more firmly grasp the ground, which is very beneficial to riding and driving, and it is needless to mention combat, it can be said that a small horse-farrier is a decisive innovation.
"Whenever there is a big war, the wear and tear of the war horses is particularly serious, of which eighty percent is because of the wear and tear of the horseshoes, which is like a pair of shoes, put on the horseshoe, with such a small guy, at least half of the war horses can save me Datang, no, or it can be said that it can support my Datang to form half more cavalry" Li Jing stroked the beard on his chest and was silent for a long time, until Yu Wenzhe's voice fell, he raised his head, his voice became a little trembling, and he held the rice paper in his hand hard, without letting go at all.
What does it mean to have more than half of the cavalry, in the society at that time, basically, the expenditure of training a cavalryman for a year should be equal to the expenditure of more than ten civilians for a year.
At this time, Datang had 100,000 cavalry, and the military expenditure on these 100,000 cavalry was enough to feed one million civilians, but this small horseshoe could be used to turn the original 100,000 cavalry into 200,000, no wonder Li Jing's reaction would be so fierce.
"What's it, it has such a miraculous effect, let Lao Cheng take a look" Everyone looked at the piece of paper in Li Jing's hand in shock, Cheng Biting Jin couldn't help it at first, and got up and ran directly behind Li Jing, staring at the two big eyes.
"Zhe'er, if it's really like what you said, then with a horseshoe, each cavalry is equipped with a war horse, it is enough, this thing has never been built, whether it is so magical, it remains to be investigated."
Li Jing handed the rice paper in his hand to Li Ji, who was sitting next, shook his head, calmed down in the excitement just now, and said.
With just one graphic, although the purpose of the graphic can be seen, it is necessary to say whether it can be practical, after all, Li Jing is not Yu Wenzhe, and the horseshoe is completely new to them, but this also shows how rigorous and calm Li Jing is from the side.
"General, since the last general can take it out, then it means that it must be practical" Yu Wenzhe shook his head and said.
"In this case, General Lin has made a great contribution again, and the general also thinks that this figure is feasible, putting iron shoes on horses, such a simple way to protect the horse's hooves, no one has thought of it, it's really alas" Li Ji sighed self-deprecatingly and said.

"The credit is counted, but this is the design of the general, and the general just took it out for the general to comment, which is different from the poem, and did not say that it would be given to the general.
Although the horseshoe is a small gadget, there are some parts of it that are not easy to make.
Yu Wenzhe smiled, and at this moment, everyone turned their heads and looked at Yu Wenzhe in surprise.
"Zhe'er, what do you want to do?"
"It's nothing, the last general just wants to sell the horseshoe to the imperial court, what does the general think" Yu Wenzhe showed a triumphant smile, Cao Fu did not enter, even if he didn't plan for himself, he had to plan for Mrs.
Cao, but now he has no time to do some industry, so he can only start from the resources at hand, and silver is indispensable.
"What to sell" Not only Li Jing, but everyone was shocked to grow their mouths, this is the first time I have heard that someone wants to do business with the imperial court.
"Yes, sell" Yu Wenzhe nodded and said.
"Just make such a gadget, the cost is only a few times, and it is worth alarming the imperial court, it's just that, my old Cheng is in charge, what kind of horseshoe bought this, I carry three hundred taels of silver tickets with me, it's enough" Cheng Yanjin took out three silver tickets in his arms, and said proudly.
"General Cheng, the price of some things cannot be measured by his original price, but depends on what kind of value he can create, although this horseshoe is small, but it is not something that can be bought for only three hundred taels."
Cheng Biting Jin frowned, "How much silver do you want?"
Yu Wenzhe stood up, stretched out a finger, and grinned at Li Jing and the others, "The last general has no leisure to manage the creation of the horseshoe, and he is not interested in trading, so the design of this drawing and the production method can be completely taught to the craftsmen of the imperial court, but every time the imperial court makes a pair of horseshoes, it has to pay the last general one or two silver, which is called a technical stock."
"One or two pieces of silver, it's not much," Cheng Yanjin thought for a while and muttered.
"Not much, if this horseshoe is really feasible, then 100,000 cavalry must be equipped with all of them, not to mention whether the saved military expenses will expand the cavalry, this alone is 100,000 taels of silver, and the horseshoe is not undamaged, this is a long-term thing, Zhe'er, if you are a businessman, you are definitely a complete profiteer" Li Jing smiled bitterly. i0 t1706231537:
