Ying Zheng was examined after the school of Fusu's statecraft.

He chatted with Meng Tian about the specific matters of sending troops to the Xiongnu.

"Meng Aiqing, at present, is there any difficulty in waving the army to the north?"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Meng Tian paused, and then said:

"Your Majesty, there is really a difficulty at present!"

"Oh, let's hear it!"

"Your Majesty, Daqin's war horse reserve resources are insufficient!" Meng

Tian said the crux of the problem.

Now, the Great Qin cavalry has indeed made up 50,000 good horses.

However, once a war starts, there will inevitably be a lot of attrition.

At this time,

Meng Tian explained: "Your Majesty, the terrain in the northern frontier is difficult and dangerous, and the wear and tear of the horse's hooves is very serious when a war starts.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded.

He knew that.

Once the horse's hooves are worn out too much, the horse will inevitably be unable to fight anymore.

But if the war horses are not replenished in time, then the cavalry will have a situation where the more they fight, the less they fight.

In the past, how could he conquer the Xiongnu?

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If this problem is not solved, then the matter of the northern expedition to the Xiongnu will inevitably be temporarily put on hold.

War is not child's play, and if you go rashly without adequate preparations, it is very likely that you will return with a great defeat!

Meng Tian said: "Your Majesty don't worry too much! With the saddle and stirrup invented by Wu Gongzi, the individual combat ability of the Great Qin cavalry must have completely destroyed the group of Huns.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded with a smile and said,

"Yes! Thanks to Wu'er!" Ying

Zheng is now extremely satisfied with this son!

I remembered something.

Previously, saddles and stirrups were made to complete the task.

However, it is missing a very important thing in the cavalry trio.

With

the presence of a horseshoe, it can protect the horse's hooves very well.

Greatly reduce the degree of wear and tear of the horse's hooves.

"Father, the son has an object that can protect the horse's hooves and greatly reduce the wear rate of the horse's hooves!"

"Then, improve the chances of victory for my Great Qin Iron Cavalry to conquer the Huns."

Ying Wu said with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall suddenly focused their eyes on Ying Wu's body.

Zu Long even showed a happy smile:

"Wu'er is amazing! Hurry up and talk to your father!"

He can basically say that he believes in winning Wu unconditionally.

Since Yingwu has put it forward, Yingzheng must believe it.

After all, the impact again and again is in Yingzheng's heart.

His good son is an almighty being.

Hearing Yingzheng's words, Ying Wu stepped forward and said:

"Father, the son knows a thing, called a horseshoe.

"As long as the horseshoe is nailed to the four hooves of the war horse, it will greatly delay the wear and tear of the horse's hooves.

This is a basic common sense in the afterlife.

However, in the era of Daqin, there was no horseshoe.

"Oh, what is a horseshoe?" asked

Ying Zheng, a little puzzled.

At this moment,

Ying Wu walked up and drew the shape of a horseshoe with the paper and pen on the dragon case.

Now, Yingzheng Office has all used paper.

Bamboo slips, such complicated, heavy and inconvenient things have withdrawn from the stage of history.

After the winning military draws the drawing of the horseshoe.

He introduced to a few people: "Look! This is the shape of a horseshoe, made of iron, nailed to the four hooves of the war horse, and that's it!"

After looking at it, several people gradually understood the reason.

With the protection of this iron sheet, it can indeed protect the horse's hooves well.

It's basically the same as putting shoes on a war horse.

However, there is a problem that follows.

"Wu'er, 50,000 war horses, then you need 200,000 horseshoe!" Ying

Zheng couldn't help frowning as he spoke.

Seeing this, Ying Wu frowned slightly and thought in his heart.

In almost two or three breaths, he understood what his old father was worried about.

Now, Daqin does have the existence of iron tools.

Thinking of this, Ying Wu smiled and asked,

"Father, are you worried about the lack of iron production?"

"

Yes, yes, yes, the iron output of our Great Qin is probably not enough to make so many horseshoes

for a while!" Ying Zheng looked at his son and expressed his concerns.

Meng Tian and Fusu on the side also frowned.

The idea of a horseshoe is a good idea,

but if you don't produce so much iron, everything will be in vain.

However, Ying Zheng heard the question of winning the martial arts.

Then he asked: "Wu'er, do you have a way to solve the iron problem?"

Good guy!

Ying Wu hasn't said yet, the old father has learned to answer!

Hearing Zulong's words, Ying Wu nodded with a smile and said,

"Father, the son does have a way!"

As soon as these words came out, Ying Zheng's face immediately showed a knowing smile.

"Sure enough, Wu'er's wisdom is unparalleled in the world!"

Then, Ying Wu told everyone about the solution.

"The output of our Daqin iron can't go up, it's just two reasons. "

First, it is the shortage of iron ore, and now it seems that only Shu has a relatively rich iron ore production, right?"

Hearing this, Zu Long nodded slightly!

"Yes! Our iron ore in Daqin is limited!"

The tone was full of regret, and Zu Long had also ordered a nationwide search for iron ore.

Seeing

this, Ying Wu smiled slightly.

In fact, the land of Daqin is still very rich in iron ore.

However, most of them are buried deep underground.

Nowadays, there are no sophisticated detection methods, so it is naturally difficult to find.

The iron ore that Great Qin is using now is all exposed above the surface.

It can be seen that Daqin's iron ore production is inevitably insufficient.

But fortunately, Ying Wu has studied geography a lot in his last life.

happened to know that it was in the suburbs not far outside Xianyang City.

There is a very rich iron mine underneath it.

And the burial is not deep, so it is not much difficult to mine.

At this time,

Ying Wu said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, in the suburbs not far outside Xianyang City, there is a rich iron mine underground!" As

soon as these words came out, everyone was a little surprised!

"Outside Xianyang City, is it still underground?"

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Wu with surprised eyes and asked in surprise.

After all, in his cognition, isn't iron ore all exposed on the ground?

Looking at the old father's puzzled eyes, Ying Wu nodded and said,

"Yes, it's underground outside Xianyang City!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng asked suspiciously:

"Wu'er, how did you know?"

Hearing this, Ying Wu glanced at Meng Tian on the side, and after a pause, he said to Zu Long:

" Father, this is the master in Xianyang City, who told his son in a dream last night!"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng was stunned!

"What? is that master again? I also gave you a dream???"

"Didn't you say it last time, it was the last time???
