The living room was arranged like it was during class.

"Everyone, let's set up a construction team. We can build bridges, roads and houses in the future.

I will now make a simple personnel allocation. The construction team is divided into four construction teams.

The sons of civil officials are responsible for accounting and paying wages, and the sons of military generals are responsible for supervision.

Supervision means supervising the quality of the project and coordinating the construction of workers.

Chang Sun Chong and Cheng Chuliang are the first team

Wei Shuyu and Qin Huaiyu are the second team.

Fang Jun and Bao Lin are the third team.

Du He and Bao Qing are the fourth team. The sons of civil officials are responsible for accounting, and the sons of military generals are responsible for supervision.

Everyone, do you understand? This construction team that can make a lot of money in the future is called: "The First Construction Department of the Tang Dynasty"

Everyone nodded and understood. Qin Huaiyu asked:

"Su Chen, what is the reference for quality?"

Su Chen smiled. Someone asked the key question. They didn't know what they were going to do, so how could they know what quality was good or bad.

"Gather 300 young and strong people in the next two days to build a cement road to Chang'an.

How to pour this cement road? I will send the villagers who participated in the road construction last time as the foreman of each construction team.

In addition, I will write a construction process, from roadbed compaction, gravel cushion, cement pouring, drainage ditch construction, all written down, just follow the steps to construct."

After Su Chen finished speaking, everyone expressed their doubts, and Su Chen patiently answered them in detail.

After discussing, Su Chen wrote the construction process in pencil and asked Li Tai to copy ten copies and send them to everyone.

Li Tai is the director of the engineering department.

Su Chen said some recruitment requirements and asked Li Tai to write a recruitment notice. Su Chen took a look.

"Li Tai, who are you writing this for, Confucius?"

Su Chen picked up a pencil and wrote:

A road is to be built outside Chang'an City, and 300 young and strong people are needed.

25 coins per person per day, three meals per day, four hours of work per day.

27 coins per day for both people and cows.

First come, first served, until full!

Those who are willing, please gather outside Mingde Gate at 7:00 pm on June 10th.

Recruiting party: The First Engineering Construction Department of the Tang Dynasty.

June 8th, the second year of Zhenguan.

"Here, just write it like this, post it in crowded places, and send someone to explain it to illiterate people."

Li Tai took it and began to copy it. After writing it, he exhaled. He read it out while reading it. It was indeed simple and clear.

Su Chen thought that to build such a long cement road, he had to upgrade the tools. It seems that he has to ask His Majesty.

Since the money for the road construction has been collected, the Ministry of Construction has to pay for the tools.

So, Su Chen started to draw. When pouring the cement road last time, he found that many tools were too laborious.

Draw a two-foot-wide, eight-toothed rake with two handles. Two people face each other, one pushing and the other pulling, to facilitate the mixing of concrete.

Also draw a flatbed truck with a bucket, the tailgate is movable, and is pulled by oxen to transport materials and gravel.

There is also a large shovel, all of which are drawn and sent to the palace by Zhang Long. There is no limit to the number of urgent production.

The person who posted the notice has also been arranged.

"Zhao Hu, go to the village chief and see if the village can arrange 100 people. They must be young and strong."

...

The palace, the training ground.

"Your Majesty, is it really feasible to cut the horse's hoof with this dagger?"

After Li Shimin and others returned to the palace, the first thing they did was to find Duan Lun and let his confidants make four horseshoes.

Now Cheng Yaojin is holding a horse's hind leg and dares not cut with a dagger.

"Zhijie, stand to the side to prevent the horse from hurting people with its legs. Move slowly!"

This reddish-brown horse is a little thin, and they probably don't want to use a good horse for the test.

Cheng Yaojin cut slowly, alas!

He found that the horse didn't react after cutting off a thin piece of skin.

Cheng Yaojin increased the strength and cut deeper, but the horse still didn't react.

Cheng Yaojin was relieved now, and slowly, bit by bit, he smoothed the bottom of a horse hoof.

He thought it was almost done.

He found a hammer, nails and horseshoes, and tried to stick the hoof on the hoof with a horse hoof, and found that it was a little uneven.

He cut a little more and trimmed it, and put it back on, perfect!

He picked up the nail and nailed it slowly, while observing the horse's reaction.

When the diagonal tip of the horseshoe nail was completely immersed in the palm, the horse didn't react at all.

Really not painful?

After Cheng Yaojin nailed the horseshoe completely, the horse didn't move around.

"Hehe, it's very strange, why doesn't the horse feel any pain?"

Cheng Yaojin put the horse's leg down.

Confused, he circled around the horse's butt.

Seeing this, Li Shimin also understood the purpose of the horseshoe, which is to use the iron sheet to replace the horse's hoof and withstand wear and tear.

In the future, just replace the iron sheet, and the horse's hoof will not wear and tear again.

"Hahaha, what's the matter...…”

Pah!

Cheng Yaojin was kicked down by the horse, which was frightened by Li Shimin's sudden laughter.

Li Shimin was embarrassed and hurried forward to help Cheng Yaojin up, and Lao Hei also hurried forward to help.

"Hehe! Your Majesty, I'm fine, I'm strong!" Cheng Yaojin stood up and patted his back.

"Your Majesty, please stay away, wait until I finish installing these three iron pieces, and then try whether this horse can walk and run normally."

Li Shimin stepped back, "Zhijie, be more worried."

About half an hour later, the other three horseshoes had all been nailed with horseshoes.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, let me try it. "

Cheng Yaojin looked a bit fat, but he was not slow in getting on the horse.

After climbing on the horse, Cheng Yaojin clamped his legs behind the horse and patted it, and the horse lifted its feet and moved forward slowly.

After circling Li Shimin and others twice, Cheng Yaojin patted the horse's back vigorously.

"Go!"

The horse ran quickly in the parade ground, as if the previous knife-cutting iron nails had no effect on it at all.

"Hey, hahaha, your majesty!"

"This horse is so agile that it is not affected at all by the horseshoes!"

After running a few laps, Cheng Yaojin stopped in front of Li Shimin to report the good news.

Li Shimin and others circled around the horse and watched. The horse stood there motionless, only occasionally shaking its mane and tail.

"Hahaha, this is great, I didn't expect this small piece of iron to have such a great effect! "

After Li Shimin finished laughing, he looked down at the horse's hooves and the ground of the training ground.

"Zhijie, take the horse to the square outside the Taiji Hall and try it out. The ground here is relatively soft. Try to see if the hard ground has any effect on the horse's hooves."

Cheng Yaojin chuckled and was about to get on the horse again.

But he thought it was inappropriate. He rode the horse while His Majesty walked behind him, which was disrespectful.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, will try it now!" Cheng Yaojin led the horse towards the Taiji Hall.

"I never thought that this rough guy would become so careful."

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Shimin and others laughed. Of course, they knew what Changsun Wuji was talking about.

After a cup of tea, everyone followed Cheng Yaojin to the square outside the Taiji Hall.

Before arriving at the Taiji Hall, the horse walked on the stone brick ground, and everyone felt the difference in the sound it made.

"Your Majesty, wait for me, Old Cheng, to try it again! "Cheng Yaojin climbed onto the horse smoothly, and Fang Xuanling reminded him:

"Zhijie, don't go too fast, this place is not like loose soil."

Cheng Yaojin smiled and drove the horse.

After several different speeds, the horse's running and walking were not affected by the horseshoes at all.

Li Shimin was very happy, and the treasury would save a lot of money in the future.

At the same time, he looked at Dai Zhou and smiled:

"Dai Aiqing, I didn't agree to add horses immediately before, which saved a lot of money!"

Dai Zhou bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and I can't do it!"

After everyone laughed, they suddenly thought of what to do with the damaged horse hooves before? They still have to buy horses!

This horseshoe seems to only protect the undamaged horse hooves.

Li Shimin asked everyone in a low voice:

"My dear ministers, can you tell me whether that boy can repair the damaged horse hoof? "

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Duan Lun brought a new object.

Horseshoes are easy to make, but saddles are a bit more complicated.

I have only made one now.
