Seeing that Tang Jian and the children would be riding horses for a while longer, Lin Zao decided to go back first.
"Alright, I'll write it down for you when we get back!"
Once Tian Bu'er received confirmation, he was finally relieved. Heaven knows how excited he was when he learned about this magical horseshoe.
Every horse in the army is a precious asset and a treasure to every soldier. Now, with these horseshoes protecting them, each horse can fight for several more years.
It's just a pity that the general's legendary horse is gone.
Lin Zao knew the importance of the horseshoe to the army, so she didn't delay and went back to her study to record everything she knew.
For example, the nails for horseshoeing come out from the side of the hoof, and the excess nails need to be cut off.
Horses also need their horseshoes changed periodically because their hooves, like human fingernails, grow long and need trimming to prevent rotting inside.
Before horses were shod, their hooves rubbed against the ground frequently, so they didn't need trimming. But with horseshoes, things changed.
Lin Zao wrote a lot of bits and pieces, but finally couldn't write anymore, so she put down her pen and waited for the ink to dry before folding it up.
As soon as Lin Zao stepped out of the study, she discovered that Tian Bu'er was waiting at the door.
Seeing her come out, Tian Bu'er stared intently at the paper in Lin Zao's hand.
"Take it."
"On behalf of my thousands of brothers in the army, I thank you, Madam!"
Tian Bu'er took the paper from Lin Zao and knelt down to express his gratitude with great emotion.
Lin Zao waved his hand to let him get up, "Now that you've got it, make it properly."
"Your subordinate will certainly not fail in your mission!"
Lin Zao was unsurprised as Tian Bu'er disappeared at lightning speed.
A servant came to report shortly afterward:
"Madam, some merchants just delivered some goods, and the servants have already moved them in. Would you like to check them?"
"Okay, I'll go take a look right away."
When Tang Jian returned with the four children, Lin Zao had already packed up everything she had bought on Tianhua Street that day.
Seeing that the father and sons were covered in sweat, Lin Zao quickly urged them to take a bath.
Lin Zao then went to prepare dinner.
After the family finished eating, Lin Zao had someone call over the newly arrived He siblings so they could get acquainted with the children.
After all, she had promised Yaya that afternoon that she would have a new girl play with her, and she couldn't break her promise.
Meanwhile, the people Tang Jian sent out to investigate the young Marquis of Jingyuan also returned.
After finishing his dinner, Tang Jian summoned the person to his study for a private talk.
They didn't go back to their room until Lin Zao and Ya Ya were ready to sleep.
Seeing that Ya Ya was already asleep, Lin Zao pulled Tang Jian to the edge of the bed in the outer room and asked:
"Well, have you found out why that young marquis came?"
Tang Jian didn't intend to hide anything from Lin Zao: "It's said that as soon as this Marquis of Jingyuan arrived in Yaozhou, he met with several wealthy local merchants. As for what they discussed in private, we don't know yet, but..."
He paused for a moment, then continued with some concern:
"Several wealthy merchants tightened their control over grain trading after the young marquis left, including the Lin and Wang families."
Lin Zao frowned. "What are they trying to do? If the people in the city can't buy food, they'll definitely cause chaos. What good will that do for Yaozhou? Have they gone mad?"
What does this young lord want all this grain for?
Should we go elsewhere for disaster relief?
That's definitely impossible.
After all, food supplies in Yaozhou were also insufficient, so robbing Peter to pay Paul was pointless and a waste of manpower and resources.
