Song Jinxiu said: "I have tried it on my horse's hooves, and I think it works."
Can the experience accumulated by the ancient people for thousands of years be used?
"The main purpose of nailing iron shoes is to protect the horse's hooves and reduce the wear caused by long-term walking and fighting. At the same time, it enhances the grip of the horse's hooves and makes the horse more stable when running and fighting."
She said: "We all know that there is a thick stratum corneum on the horse's hoof. Nailing there will hurt and affect the horse's running.
Of course, the production and nailing of the iron palm still requires certain skills. ”
Song Jinxiu gestured and said, "We need to customize the appropriate iron palm according to the size and shape of the horse's hoof, and make sure the nails are nailed into the cuticle of the hoof.
The iron palm has changed a lot since it was nailed on, so we still have to check it regularly. ”
The emergence of any new thing requires a period of acceptance and transition.
She looked at the people who were still frowning and said, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, if you have any concerns, you can try it out on some horses first. If you think it's good, you can promote it."
After that, she said with emotion: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. We will slowly explore and there are always more solutions than difficulties.
Everyone: Little girl, how old are you? This old-fashioned look really makes people speechless.
After talking about horseshoeing, Song Jinxiu said:
"Your Majesty, I have a way to improve the purity of steel. I originally wanted to use it on the plowshare. Now it seems that it can also be used to improve weapons."
The purity of refined iron? Everyone's eyes lit up.
They all knew how crucial the purity of iron was to weapons. And weapons are the essence of a unit.
It is said that some hidden weapon refiners in the world use high-quality refined iron to make swords. The higher the purity, the harder the sword body.
It is no exaggeration to say that a good sword can cut hair with a gust of wind and slice iron like mud.
Moreover, some famous swords are also resistant to weathering and corrosion. Swords like those used in the military today are prone to rust and breakage after long-term use or in extreme environments.
The loss of weapons in Cangwu alone costs a lot of money every year.
In the early years, Your Majesty was eager to seek talented people, and even set up high positions and generous salaries in an attempt to recruit these weapon-making masters to serve the court, but with little success.
If Song Jinxiu really improved the purity of iron, even a little improvement would be a great achievement.
The left prime minister Wei Zhen couldn't help shaking his beard and asked expectantly, "Does Lord Song really know how to smelt iron?"
Song Jinxiu nodded: What about iron smelting? Can't I make good steel after refining it?
She said to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, "Sir, it is actually very difficult to improve the purity of steel. I have spent half a month researching and obtained this data. I have tried it and it works."
As she spoke, she handed a blueprint to the Minister of the Ministry of Defense, "At the same time, I have also improved a weapon called a crossbow, which is more convenient and faster than a bow and arrow. Do you think I can make it as soon as possible?"
Who is the Minister of Ministry? That's an old craftsman. At first glance, I knew this method was feasible.
He first looked at the method of improving the purity of steel, and then he slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, that's how it is. Why didn't I think of it?"
Everyone: Looking at the Minister's expression, can this method be used?
The Minister of the Ministry of War was excited and looked at the blueprint of the crossbow again. As he looked at it, he suddenly raised his head and asked Song Jinxiu: "Is the range really as stated on the blueprint?"
Song Jinxiu nodded again: "It's a conservative calculation, like this."
The Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs slapped his thigh again and said, "Fuck you, with these things, we are still afraid of the devil's Southern Xinjiang. Just wipe them out!"
The blueprint only showed crossbows, as well as crossbow-shaped catapults, etc.
Everyone: What on earth could make this old guy so excited? Are you speaking in your dialect?
Everyone gathered around and wanted to check it out, but the Minister of Industry suddenly turned around and walked away in a hurry, holding the blueprint.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Zhou Kunran said, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Foreign Affairs deceived the emperor and the blueprint belonged to him. He took it away so openly that even Your Majesty didn't let him see it."
Liu Renxiu glanced at him and asked, "Are you busy?"
Zhou Kunran: "Busy,"
He has to dispatch weapons and food supplies. Is he busy?
But what on earth could this make the Minister of Foreign Affairs so upset? He is itching to do this!
Liu Renxiu was also very curious. The Minister of Foreign Affairs was the most mature and steady. If he was asked to say something good, it would definitely be average.
"Song Aiqing, why don't you draw it again for everyone to see, so that we can have a better idea of what's going on."
Song Jinxiu took the order, picked up the pencil, and sketched the outline of the crossbow in a few strokes.
She gestured and said, "This is called a crossbow. It can fire continuously."
Everyone was amazed after hearing her explanation, and looked at her eagerly as if she were a piece of gold:
Little girl, not only does His Majesty want to coax you, we all want to coax you!
Refining soybean oil, solving multiplication tables, making glass, and improving the curved plow can all be said to improve people's livelihood, but improving weapons can definitely improve Cangwu's combat effectiveness!
As the army's combat effectiveness increases, the backbone of the Cangwu people will become stronger.
This child has so many things in his head. How did his parents cultivate him?
I heard that someone was willing to serve you when you were awarded an imperial decree a few days ago. They wanted you to refine the fine iron so that you could make this crossbow.
Your Majesty, if you want, why don't we also confer the title of Guanglu Dafu on the little girl's stepfather?
This child has made great contributions!
Liu Renxiu's eyes flashed. Has the little girl finally reached out to my Ministry of War?
He suddenly became excited and wanted to wait and see.
Originally, everyone was worried about the sudden outbreak of war, but now, it was heard that Song Jinxiu had improved steel and designed new weapons.
Suddenly, everyone is eager to participate in this battle. What's going on?
I'm really looking forward to the battle. What should I do?
The Prime Minister looked at Song Jinxiu deeply. Song Jinxiu noticed his gaze and looked over. The Prime Minister smiled hurriedly to hide the deep meaning in his eyes.
Song Jinxiu's eyes flashed.
Prime Minister Du Sui was mainly responsible for the court's diplomatic affairs, such as entertaining foreign envoys and handling international affairs. 1
A diplomat.
Diplomats usually have excellent social communication skills and are able to handle various social occasions with ease.
But Du Sui is usually very low-key. If the war got serious this time, she would ignore his existence.
"Junjun, send your people to keep an eye on Prime Minister Du. I always feel that this person is two-faced."
Treasure Hunter Junjun: "This man is sick. He is a poor man. He has two old servants and a book boy at home. Most of his salary was given to Jishantang."
Which way is better?
Song Jinxiu was curious, is it difficult for a prime minister to become a eunuch?
When Junjun saw the expression on his master's face, he quickly said, "Stop it, don't use the Golden Eye Technique here. Besides, what's so good about an old eunuch? Don't worry, I have verified it myself."
"puff."
Song Jinxiu was finally choked by her own saliva.
"Song Aiqing, Song Aiqing? Kang Le?"
His Majesty called out again and again, and Song Jinxiu came back to her senses.
She glanced around and found that everyone had left and was busy with their own things. Only the emperor was looking at her worriedly.
Liu Renxiu frowned and looked at her: "Are you okay?"
Song Jinxiu said quickly: "Your Majesty, I am thinking about the confidentiality of the weapons factory. Now that new weapons are being produced, should we strengthen our vigilance?"
