Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

"what?"

Li Shimin jumped up on the spot, what the hell does that mean?How did he suddenly know my identity?Could it be that the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang in front of me has been acting?He already knows my identity but has been playing around with me?

Li Shimin's face changed almost immediately. Before he could speak, Du Ruhui pulled his sleeve quickly and said loudly on purpose,

"Old Li, what are you in a hurry for? Listen to the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang first, why did His Majesty get involved?"

Li Shimin was only remembered by Du Ruhui's pull. It seems that the shopkeeper Zhang didn't say that he was the emperor just now, but asked him to go to the "emperor" to get an identity certificate?

Zhang Nuo looked at the excited Lao Li and was a little puzzled. This condition is too much?Why are you so excited?But the explanation still needs to be explained.

"Old Li, don't get excited. You see, you are a member of the royal family, and you have given some of our business to His Majesty, so it is not wrong to say that you are His Majesty's business partner, right? I want this gold medal." , also for the convenience of getting a war horse for myself, just say you agree or disagree!"

In the end, Zhang Nuo was also annoyed, and so was Lao Li, who was taken aback. He just wanted something like a gold medal to prove his identity. Why are you so excited? You just asked the emperor for it, not him. .

Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, then nodded and said,

"No problem, but this gold medal can only prove that you have business dealings with His Majesty, it has no other effect!"

Zhang Nuo replied angrily,

"It's enough to have this effect. I still expect this gold medal to mobilize soldiers, horses and food?"

Li Shimin rubbed the back of his head and giggled a few times. He was too excited and thought things too complicated. In fact, there are quite a lot of gold medals in the palace, and they are usually carried by people who go out to do business. It proves that they are indeed working for the emperor.

This kind of gold medal is different from the tiger talisman. It really does not have the right to deploy troops.

Zhang Nuo didn't say much to Lao Li. Anyway, he agreed to this condition, so let's move on to the second condition. He knows that people like Lao Li sometimes have a lot of eyes.

"Then let's agree on the first condition. Then let's talk about the second condition. You have to ask His Majesty and the Ministry of War for a document. I need my caravan from the Turkic, Hun, Xianbei and other foreign forces." Buy war horses here, and buy them in large quantities.”

Li Shimin didn't need to ask this point, Du Ruhui answered immediately,

"Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, the document is easy to say, as long as you can buy war horses, it will be in my Datang's interest, but in fact, these white-eyed wolves outside the country don't sell us war horses at all, neither public nor private, what are you going to do? "

Zhang Nuo squinted his eyes at Lao Du, curled his lips and said,

"You know what, they really don't sell war horses, but that refers to war horses that can ride on war horses, but what if I want to buy retired war horses? I don't believe that my Tang Dynasty has not been able to solve the wear and tear of the hoof armor. The problem can be solved by Turkic and Xiongnu blood-drinking foreigners!"

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui's eyes lit up when they heard this. Yes, these retired horses are actually very strong. It's just that after the hoof armor is severely worn, they can't run long distances at all. But now they have a way, they can be completely useless. Use it!

Chapter 195 The Magical Little Iron Bar

Zhang Nuo's words completely opened the door to a new world for Li Shimin and Du Ruhui!

In fact, Datang has been buying war horses from foreigners, mainly to breed horses for himself, and most of the bought horses are retired war horses.

Only this kind of war horse that cannot be ridden will be sold to Datang at a high price by those damn foreigners.

But what if these war horses can not only be bred, but also directly converted into active war horses?The articles that can be written in it are really huge!

For nomads like the Turks, who can easily collect hundreds of thousands of cavalry, they can easily prepare [-] retired war horses as long as they are willing.

If Datang only bought a few hundred or so horses for breeding, then the price of each horse would be the same as before, and each horse would be a sky-high price, but if it was purchased in large quantities of thousands or tens of thousands, the price would be reversed. To lower a lot.

After all, these retired horses can’t be ridden or used except for breeding. If they continue to graze, it will not only consume manpower, but also occupy the horse farm. It is better to sell them to Datang for a large sum of money. .

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were so excited that their breaths became short of breath at the moment. This is really a bold idea, but it has to be said that it is a good way to increase the military strength of the Tang Dynasty in a short time. The most important thing is that this method is really feasible what.

The two monarchs and ministers thought about it almost at the same time, not only the Turks, but also so many nomadic peoples outside the Great Wall, who have a large number of retired war horses in their hands. If Datang directly wins them by purchasing them, and then turns around and uses Xiaozhang's What kind of a grand sight is it to directly put these war horses back into service?

In the words of shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, that is no longer a multiplication of combat power, it is simply an explosion!

Li Shimin immediately said decisively and directly,

"Brother, needless to say about this condition, I agree, as long as you can buy it, it will be yours!"

Li Shimin finally understood that the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang was determined to form a cavalry, and it made no difference whether he agreed to this condition or not.

Anyway, shopkeeper Xiao Zhang has his imperial gold medal in hand, and he bought retired war horses, so as long as he can deal with the Turkic and other foreign races, then he will definitely be able to bring these war horses into the customs.

If it is a war horse in service, I am afraid that it will be snatched by people on the road, and even the army from all over the place will snatch it.

But if he has already retired, then with the face of his gold medal, he will basically bring him to Guanzhong with his whole body.

Since it can't be stopped anyway, it's better to send the Buddha to the west and fill up the formalities for him directly, so as to save some favors.

Seeing that Lao Li agreed, Zhang Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. He really wanted a cavalry, so he racked his brains to come up with such a roundabout way.

However, the calculations were wrong. As long as the imperial court followed this line of thinking, they would definitely be able to bring back a large number of war horses. The exact amount would depend on the imperial court's financial resources.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo was still not at ease and said,

"Old Li, I know you will definitely tell the court about this, but you have to tell me that we really don't want to let the retired war horses back into service. Not only will the war horses not be available at that time, those Foreign races will even send troops directly to curb our development in advance."

Li Shimin also nodded seriously. He also understands this. This thing is a big killer. It has too much to do with retiring the retired war horse.

It is even more important for foreigners than Datang, because no matter what Datang does, it will definitely not be able to compare with foreigners in terms of the number of horses. If Datang can make [-] retired warhorses return to service.

After these foreigners know this method, they will be able to get 20 war horses back onto the battlefield in a short period of time.

However, these are all intended intentions. The imperial court will definitely strictly control this matter. The most important thing now is to get the method that shopkeeper Zhang said to be true. After all, the conditions are not all agreed. Well.

Zhang Nuo didn't bother. Anyway, this matter will not be kept secret for a long time. When he starts to make horseshoes for his cavalry, everyone will understand at a glance. After all, this thing is really just an idea.

Zhang Nuo exchanged a whole set of horseshoes directly from the system, and threw them on the table with a bang.

"You said that the horseshoe armor is seriously worn out, just like we wear our feet when we walk barefoot, but we all wear shoes, so why can't we put shoes on the horses!"
