Li Wangyou has neither man nor horse now, so he naturally wants to ask Li Er for it.
Horses are easy to handle, Li Er may not have anything else, but there are many fine horses in the palace.Among them are ten Turkic BMWs, which were named Shi Ji by Li Er, and they are all first-class horses.
Of course Li Er was reluctant to lend Shiji to Li Wangyou to play polo, but he could choose other horses as he wished.For a polo match, three horses need to be replaced, and thirty fine horses are enough.
After solving the horse problem, Li Wangyou still wants to borrow someone.
His Li family is weak, so he can't drag the old butler Li Heng, the beautiful boss, Afro, Pei Lan and the four maids into the game, right?
However, Li Er shook his head and rejected him this time: "Ziyou, it will be a matter between you and Zhang Liang to strike a gun three days later. It is inconvenient for me to lend you the hand of the palace striker."
After thinking about it for a while, Li Wangyou understood what Li Er meant. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally had to be impartial.Although Li Wangyou is now his nephew, he can't take sides.
If he lends his battering hand, it shows his bias, which is likely to arouse criticism from courtiers.
After sending Li Er away, Li Wangyou began to think hard about where he was going to find a batterer.Niu Wu's group of old government soldiers are all proficient in bow and horse, but how can they play polo?
When he was in distress, a group of dudes gathered around.
"Ziyou, hit me in three days, if you dare not bring your brothers with you, I will break up with you!" Cheng Chumo said, patting Li Wangyou's shoulder.
"That's right, I'm waiting for my brother to fight!" The Yuchi twins expressed their opinion in the same way.
Fang Yiai pinched her knuckles and said with a smile: "Hey, how can this kind of thing not include me?"
Even Niu Zhengping, who had bad legs and feet, said the same thing: "I'm lame, but it's not a problem for me to hit the ball. Ziyou, don't forget about brother!"
"Haha, I beat up the young one today, and I'm going to teach the old one in three days, I'm afraid he'll go crazy!"
"Ziyou, don't worry, we beat him up together, if he has any dissatisfaction with the Duke of Changping, we brothers will take it together!"
"Yes! Three days later, I'll kill that old bastard Zhang Liang!"
Li Wangyou suddenly felt a little sour at the words of the dandies, these bastards are very interesting.
What he could not avoid, this group of dandies actually wanted to end in person, he had to remember this feeling, um, let's forgive Wei Shuyu and the bad behavior of these bastards just now.
Li Wangyou nodded gratefully to the dudes, and bowed in a circle: "Brothers, thank you very much."
Qiu Kun said sadly at the side: "Ziyou, this matter is all because of me. If there is anything I can do, I will never refuse."
Just now he said he was going to fight the horse, but the fat man Chou Kun didn't say anything. It wasn't because he didn't want to, but because of his size, it was really hard to find a horse that could carry him to the horse.
Li Wangyou laughed and patted his belly like a woman who was pregnant in April: "Stop talking nonsense, if you are so hypocritical, I will beat you."
The dandies also smiled and stepped forward to ravage the fat man's body, laughing and playing around, which relieved the guilt in Qiu Kun's heart a little.
Cheng Chu smiled silently: "Zi You still doesn't know how to hit the ball, right? Let's go, brother will take you to practice."
The dandies were also interested, knowing that Li Wangyou had lent a horse to Li Er, they all clamored to ride the royal horse in the palace.
Li Wangyou hurriedly stopped them: "Brothers, wait a minute, there is no rush to hit the horseshoe, the most urgent thing now is to make horseshoes. Have you forgotten the purpose of my fight with Changping County Duke in three days?"
"Huh? What are horseshoes? Ziyou, do you really have a way to reduce the loss of horseshoes? Horse shoes are unreliable."
"I think Ziyou can do it!" Fang Yiai has 100% trust in Li Wangyou since Li Wangyou performed a magical operation in the Zoroastrian Temple last time.
Wei Shuyu also nodded: "I think my lord is going to stumble this time, haha, Ziyou, you must win!"
"Yes, it would be great if there was a way to keep the horseshoes from wearing out. The Rausch League that Ziyou just mentioned sounds very exciting. Not to mention the batting field that can seat tens of thousands of people. Think about it That's exciting."
"Ziyou, what can you do? Tell me quickly, my brothers will help you plan."
Li Wangyou smiled mysteriously: "Hey, let's keep it secret for now, you just follow me. By the way, who knows a good blacksmith shop? I need to forge a batch of things."
Fatty Qiu Kun quickly said, "I know that, Dongshi Xieji blacksmith shop, all the ironware needed by my rice shop are made at his house."
"Let's go, hurry up." Li Wangyou pushed the fat man, and ran out of the barracks. All the dudes looked at each other and chased after them with a smile.
In Xieji blacksmith's shop in Dongshi, shopkeeper Xie saw Qiu Kun leading a group of people, and hurriedly greeted them.
"Lang Jun needs to make ironware today?"
Qiu Kun nodded, pointed at Li Wangyou and said, "This is a man from Hu County. He needs to make some objects. Thank you shopkeeper for letting the craftsmen make them with care. There is no delay."
Hearing that the young man in front of him turned out to be a man from Jianguo County, shopkeeper Xie hurried forward to salute.And when he learned of the identities of the dudes, he felt even worse and couldn't speak fluently.
"Let's go, I don't know if the nobles come to the door, I am negligent, I am negligent. The nobles wait a moment, I will call the craftsmen right away." After thanking the shopkeeper, he turned his head and ran into the shop. After a while, he led a middle-aged strong man Han came out.
"This is the craftsman with the best craftsmanship in my shop. If you have any needs, just ask him. I'm not bragging. We thank the blacksmith shop. The craftsmanship is also counted in Chang'an City. It will definitely satisfy the nobles. .”
Li Wangyou nodded, but he didn't rush to say what he wanted to build, but asked Cheng Chumo to lead a horse.
Cheng Chumo was confused by him, but still led the horse as he ordered.
Li Wangyou asked the shopkeeper Xie to bring pens, ink and paper, spread the paper on the ground, and asked the rich men to help, and let the horses put their hooves on the paper and not move.
He took a pen and drew the outline of the horse's hoof along the horse's hoof.
"Ziyou, what are you doing?" The dude couldn't understand what he wanted to do anymore.
"Hey, don't worry, I'll find out soon." Li Wangyou took the paper with the outline of the horseshoe, compared the size of the horseshoe, drew a U-shaped pattern, and handed it to the Strong craftsman.
"Please help me make this object. It doesn't need to be too thick, just over an inch thick. Holes need to be drilled in these places on the iron sheet." Li Wangyou explained, pointing to the places marked on the drawing.
The middle-aged craftsman frowned, and after looking at it for a while, he couldn't figure out what this strangely shaped little iron piece was for.
But knowing that these are all nobles, he didn't dare to ask more questions, just nodded, and replied in a low voice: "Please wait a moment, nobles, there are ready-made iron bars in the workshop, just bend them and open holes."
"That's good, you'll make four pieces first."
The middle-aged craftsman nodded, and went to the blacksmith shop behind to make it.
After about half an hour, four steaming horseshoes were delivered to Li Wangyou...
335 What a crime
Cheng Chumo and others snatched the four horseshoes and looked them up and down for a long time, but they couldn't figure out what they were for.
"Ziyou, is this the horseshoe you mentioned?"
"How is this thing used?"
Li Wangyou didn't answer, just asked: "Which one of you has a skilled horseman? Borrow it and use it. After a while, you will know the usefulness of this horseshoe."
Lu Guogong's mansion is not far from Dongshi, everyone discussed a few words, then got on their horses again and walked towards Lu Guogong's mansion.
As soon as he entered the gate of Duke Lu's mansion, Li Wangyou regretted it.
