Chapter 0252 The shock brought by horseshoes, the Guanzhong region is completely different from the legend!!!
Facing Zhao Yun’s question.
The blacksmith saw their confusion and invited them warmly:”Why not come in and take a look, we have a few horses being shod here!”
Tian Yu, Gongsun Xu, and Zhao Yun looked at each other.
The three followed the clerk into the blacksmith shop.
There was a blazing fire, hammers clanging, and a busy scene.
Various ironwares were hung on the wall, all kinds of farm tools.
Tian Yu couldn’t help but ask:”Are these all ironwares?”
“Of course, they are all ironware!”
The blacksmith shop assistant answered with some confusion. Gongsun Xu stared at the ironware on the wall with wide eyes.
If used to forge weapons, how many spear heads and knives can be made, and how many soldiers can be armed.
Such a small post station is so luxurious and has so much iron.
Zhao Yun looked around, and he was also very shocked.
The ironware was very precious in his mind.
It was placed everywhere in this small blacksmith shop.
Zhao Yun couldn’t help but asked:”So many iron materials, is it safe to put it here? Won’t someone come to steal it?”
“Sir, you are joking!”
The blacksmith did not expect Zhao Yun to ask this.
He said,”The government now has an overproduction of iron materials, and the price is very low. Now every household uses iron farm tools!”
“”No one is short of iron, so why would anyone come and rob it?”
The words of the blacksmith’s shop assistant shocked Tian Yu, Gongsun Xu, and Zhao Yun.
They even had a feeling that they were not walking in the country of the Han Dynasty.
Otherwise, how could such an incredible thing happen.
In the backyard of the blacksmith’s shop, there was the sound of horses neighing.
Zhao Yun and the other two followed the blacksmith’s shop assistant to the backyard.
They saw a group of horses being shod.
A craftsman was skillfully fixing a horseshoe on the horseshoe, and then nailing it one by one with iron nails.
When a horseshoe was nailed.
Then the craftsman lifted the other horse’s calf and bent it.
Then he used a shovel to trim the horseshoe and polished the edge to a flat state.
Then he placed the iron palm, pierced the small hole of the iron palm with rivets, and hammered it in with a hammer.
“This.”
Zhao Yun’s eyes widened. He had never seen such a scene.
He looked at the motionless horse, and then at the craftsman!
The horse seemed to feel no pain at all.
Obviously, nailing the horseshoe had no effect on the horse.
When Zhao Yun was in Youzhou, he was a member of the Baima Yiyi.
He rode horses to fight for a long time.
He paid more attention to the wear and tear of the horse’s hooves.
But even if he noticed it, there was nothing he could do.
Because in his impression, horse hooves should grow naturally and be closely connected to the horse’s body.
If the horse’s hooves are more damaged, the only way is to replace the horse and conserve the horse’s power.
I never expected to see such a special treatment method here.
Pieces of iron were nailed on the horse’s hooves.
Tian Yu and Gongsun Xu were also shocked.
Although they were knowledgeable, this was the first time they encountered such a thing.
They carefully observed the horses with horseshoes.
They found that they did not feel any discomfort.
On the contrary, the hooves seemed to be more stable and walked more powerfully.
The clerk in the blacksmith shop pointed to the iron sheets on a table next to the craftsman and said
“This is the horseshoe!”
“With it, the horse’s hooves can be protected from wear and tear when traveling long distances!”
“It can also increase the horse’s grip, allowing them to run faster and farther!”
Tian Yu, Gongsun Xu, and Zhao Yun came forward and looked at these iron plates carefully.
The shape of the horseshoe is very simple.
It is a ring-shaped iron plate with some small holes on it, and nails can be put into these holes.
The horseshoe is fixed under the horse’s hoof through these nails and the horseshoe.
Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and said,”The impact of the cavalry will be stronger in the future!”
Gongsun Xu asked with some doubts:”General, aren’t you afraid that other princes or foreigners will learn it?”
Tian Yu shook his head and said,”I’m afraid all the general’s cavalry have already installed it!”
“In addition, there are a lot of Xianbei refugees in Youzhou recently. I heard that they were all driven away by the general’s cavalry in Bingzhou!”
Zhao Yun couldn’t help but admire in his heart:”The general is really a god!”
The blacksmith shop clerk heard them talking about the general.
He couldn’t help but say:”The general is a god from heaven!”
“So we the people can live a good life!”
“I work here, and my parents, brothers and sisters at home work in the fields. Now they can have enough to eat!”
Zhao Yun and the other two watched for a while.
They left the blacksmith shop reluctantly until the horseshoes of the horse processed by the craftsman were all nailed.
They arranged their guards to nail horseshoes on all the horses.
When they left the blacksmith shop, the sun had already set, and the neighing of horses in front of the post station came one after another.
Zhao Yun and the other two entered the post station and booked a room.
Food and bathhouses were provided in the post station.
The three of them were exhausted all the way.
Seeing the bathhouse, they couldn’t help but take a bath first.
Then, they began to enjoy the food.
The three of them ate and talked, and they were very emotional to each other.
Tian Yu drank a bowl of wine and couldn’t help but sighed and said
“It has only been a few years, but I didn’t expect that Sili Prefecture would have undergone such great changes!”
“A few years ago, Dong Zhuo was in power and the eighteen princes fought against him!”
“The world is about to fall into chaos, with princes fighting for their own rights and warlords fighting each other!”
“I didn’t expect that the general would rise from humble beginnings and conquer the world in the blink of an eye!”
“It really makes people admire him!”
Zhao Yun also nodded:”I heard before that the people in Guanzhong were living in poverty, but I didn’t expect the situation to be completely the opposite!”
Gongsun Xu also echoed and said:”It is said that the general is extremely cruel and bloodthirsty, and Guanzhong is full of displaced people!”
“Isn’t this nonsense?”
Tian Yu smiled slightly, shook his head, and said
“Do you know why these rumors are spreading?”
