After staying at the post station for half a month, Gu Qingcheng went to check on the simple "workshop" every day.
Seeing how much "attention" Gu Qingcheng gave, the craftsmen dared not slack off.
Ding ding ding! Dang dang dang!
After three days of hammering and banging, they finally produced a finished product.
Gu Qingcheng took the horseshoe, which was still warm, and slowly felt around with her hands.
Her hands are the standard!
She could clearly feel whether the workmanship of the horseshoe was up to standard and whether the size was standard.
"Here, and here, polish it a little more!"
Gu Qingcheng couldn't tell the specific unit of measurement. After all, the word "silk" was simply incomprehensible to the craftsmen of that era.
"Never mind! Give me the file."
Gu Qingcheng couldn't describe how much was missing, so she just did it herself!
The craftsmen were first shocked, and then terrified.
The steward also looked worried.
"Didn't you hear me?"
However, Gu Qingcheng seemed not to notice the surprised looks of the others.
After a few days of adapting, she had completely returned to the mode of a noble lady from a wealthy family.
As for a noble lady, the key word is "noble".
She can do whatever she wants and act as she pleases.
In this era, although the aristocratic families were not as unruly as in the Wei and Jin dynasties, they were still very independent.
There are celebrities who like the sound of donkeys, and there are lunatics who are obsessed with taking drugs and running around naked. Gu Qingcheng is just forging iron, but it seems to be an "elegant thing"!
Sure enough, seeing Gu Qingcheng's insistence, although the steward felt it was inappropriate, he still winked at the craftsman.
After getting the approval of the steward, the craftsman held the file in front of Gu Qingcheng with trembling hands.
Gu Qingcheng held the file, and the familiar feeling from her soul made her enter the state instantly.
Swish!
With just a few gentle movements, the slightest bit of thickness was worn away, and Gu Qingcheng was satisfied!
There is only a difference of 0.5 millimeters, but it makes this horseshoe reach perfection!
Craftsman & Steward: ...
Their skills are not advanced enough, so they naturally cannot feel Gu Qingcheng's power.
They were just in pure amazement: That's it! That's it!
Is my Sanniang okay?
Gu Qingcheng: ...It’s lonely at the top.
…
"This is?"
Gu Heng looked at the pieces of iron placed in front of him, completely confused as to what his granddaughter meant.
"This is a divine weapon that can reduce the loss of warhorses!"
Gu Qingcheng picked up the horseshoe and explained to her grandfather while gesturing.
"You mean, if you nail this to a horse's hoof, it will reduce wear and tear?"
As long as the horse's hooves are not worn out, the warhorse will not be scrapped!
Gu Heng was still able to understand the cause and effect relationship.
But, here comes the problem——
"If you hammer nails into a horse's hoof, will the horse get hurt?"
Gu Heng brought in a person's foot and hammered nails into it. Hiss~, just thinking about it made Gu Heng feel pain!
Gu Qingcheng: ...
"Horse hooves are indeed similar to human feet, but horse hooves are not made of flesh, but rather—"
Gu Qingcheng thought for a moment and pointed at her nails, "It should be about the same as her nails!"
Trimming your nails doesn't hurt!
Gu Heng looked at his granddaughter's face which had obviously grown up. Well, she had become prettier again.
He looked at the horseshoe again, half believing and half doubting.
"Aunt, whether it succeeds or not, we'll know once we give it a try!"
The knowledge beyond time and space that Gu Qingcheng learned in the world of novels has been worn away, so she couldn't say that horse hoof is a kind of stratum corneum.
Since it can't be explained clearly, I'll just not explain it.
Speak directly with facts.
"Alright!"
Seeing that his little granddaughter was full of confidence, Gu Heng didn't want to discourage her.
It’s just a horse. The Gu family can afford the loss.
Avoiding Zheng Mo, the General of the Guards who was in charge of "escorting", Gu Heng quietly ordered someone to bring a horse and then nail horseshoes on its hooves.
Throughout the process, the horse was frightened but not in pain.
Gu Heng, who was watching the scene, couldn't help but nod, "Aqing is right, horses really don't feel pain!"
Seeing this scene, Gu Heng became more confident in his granddaughter.
"Send someone on horseback to explore the way forward!"
"Master the distance, a round trip of about three or four hundred miles will suffice!"
Gu Heng asked his soldiers who were good at riding and shooting. Generally speaking, a horse's hooves will be worn out after running seven or eight hundred miles.
A distance of three or four hundred miles will cause some wear and tear, but it will not hurt the horse's hooves!
"yes!"
One of the soldiers agreed and galloped out on his horse.
Gu Heng and others continued to stay at the post station and wait.
Zheng Mo: ...What on earth is the Gu family up to?
He was both a blacksmith and a pathfinder, acting mysteriously and furtively.
However, due to the status of the Gu family and Gu Heng's reputation, he did not dare to pay too much attention.
"It must be that little girl from the Gu family who's causing trouble. Lord You'an is also so indulgent!"
Gu Qingcheng's age is indeed the best disguise.
When they heard that she was the "leader", Zheng Mo and others would subconsciously think that she was making trouble.
Come to think of it, what big things can a six-year-old child, a girl at that, do?
Three days later, the Gu family's troops returned on horseback.
Gu Heng ordered his men to take both the people and the horses to the backyard.
Pull up the fence to block all curious eyes.
"how?"
Gu Heng was a little excited.
Because he found that the soldiers on horseback looked ecstatic.
"My dear, the horse's hooves are not worn out!"
He ran back and forth for more than 400 miles without any damage.
The horses seemed particularly happy when they ran.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
