"Ah Yuan, do you have a solution?"
Helian Jue asked in a confident tone.
"have!"
Xie Yuan raised his head, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes sparkling.
She found some paper and pencils, drew a design, and said, "Find a blacksmith and have him make it according to the design!"
Helian Jue raised his chin, and immediately a bodyguard stepped out.
The guard carefully took the blueprints and hurriedly did as Xie Yuan instructed.
An hour later, the guard quickly returned with a box.
Even with his superb martial arts skills, running back and forth like this caused beads of sweat to appear on his forehead.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, it's ready!"
The guards presented the box to Helian Jue and Xie Yuan with both hands.
Helian Jue didn't rush to look at the contents of the box, but instead looked at Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan didn't delay. She took the box, examined it carefully, and then nodded in satisfaction. "That's right, this is it!"
Having received a definitive answer from Xie Yuan, Helian Jue picked up one of the iron pieces. "A-Yuan, what is it? Can it really alleviate the wear and tear on horses?"
"able!"
Xie Yuanxian gave a firm affirmative answer, and then slowly explained, "Your Highness, this is a horseshoe. As long as it is nailed to the horse's hoof, it can prevent the hoof from wearing out."
At this point, Xie Yuan thought for a moment and gave an analogy, "It's like the shoes we wear."
If a person walks barefoot on the ground, the soles of their feet will be cut and blistered.
Wearing shoes can prevent this problem.
"Your Highness, horses are the same. Horseshoes are like iron boots for horses."
"If a person's shoes are worn out, just replace them. If a horseshoe is badly worn, just replace it with a new pair!"
Xie Yuan explained in great detail and gave such an easy-to-understand example that the intelligent Helian Jue naturally understood it instantly.
However, he still hesitated.
With long, slender, fair fingers, she gently picked up a U-shaped hoof piece, turning it from side to side to examine it. "Can such a small piece of iron really have such an effect?"
"Also, wouldn't it hurt to nail nails into a horse's hoof? Could the horse withstand it?"
Helian Jue didn't disbelieve Xie Yuan; it was simply that his understanding was limited by the era he lived in.
Furthermore, horses were extremely important to Helian Jue.
He had gone to great lengths and spent a lot of money to acquire these warhorses for the cavalry battalion.
Every single one is a treasure.
If these warhorses hadn't died on the battlefield, but had been ruined because of "experiments," Helian Jue would definitely be heartbroken!
"Whether horseshoes work or not, we'll find out by trying them."
"As for whether it hurts or not, it certainly doesn't. Your Highness may not know this, but a horse's hoof is like a human fingernail; if it's not trimmed regularly, it will grow very long."
"Nailing horseshoes is like trimming nails; it won't harm the warhorse."
Xie Yuan was not displeased by Helian Jue's "questioning".
This is the Helian Jue she knows—someone who doesn't blindly trust others but sticks to his own ideas.
Furthermore, Helian Jue's repeated confirmations demonstrate his cautious approach, which is a virtue.
"Your Highness, you can ask a horseshoe repairman."
Xie Yuan suggested with a smile.
Seeing that Xie Yuan didn't get upset because of his caution, Helian Jue was even more satisfied.
As expected of my A-Yuan, understanding, reasonable and clear-headed.
"Alright! Huang Yin, summon the cavalry soldier in charge of shoeing horses!"
Helian Jue raised his voice and gave the order.
The guard who had been running, panting heavily, quickly replied, "Yes!"
Before long, Huang Yin came over with a veteran in his thirties.
Can you nail things to a horse's hooves?
Helian Jue didn't mince words and went straight to the point.
"...It should work! I haven't tried it myself, I just trim the long horseshoes regularly."
The veteran scratched his head. "But if long horseshoes can be chopped off, then nails should be able to be driven in."
Although the veteran's account was not entirely certain, it indirectly corroborated Xie Yuan's statement.
Helian Jue nodded slowly, "Alright, then let's find a batch of horses to try it out!"
After saying that, he turned to the veteran and said, "You, you take charge of the operation!"
"yes!"
The veteran was somewhat excited, although he didn't know what the prince wanted him to do.
But he had a feeling that what the prince was going to do must be very important.
Having taken on such an important task, even if he couldn't become a confidant, he would still become different.
Xie Yuan then told the veteran the details of how to nail horseshoes.
The veteran's eyes lit up: Hey, I knew I was right!
horseshoe?
It should work very well.
Horseshoes can reduce wear and tear on horses.
As the first person to nail horseshoes, he was destined to become a very important figure in the army!
Suppressing his excitement, the veteran carefully and meticulously followed the instructions to nail the four horseshoes onto the horse.
At first, the horse was somewhat panicked when it was pinned down.
The veteran quickly tried to comfort him.
He regularly shod the horses, and the cavalry horses were quite familiar with him.
Soon, the horse calmed down and obediently allowed the old soldier to nail horseshoes onto it.
When the veteran hammered in the first nail, the horse didn't neigh in pain, but instead seemed indifferent.
Seeing this, Helian Jue finally felt relieved.
With a series of clanging and banging sounds, the veteran skillfully nailed on all the horseshoes.
