After the shock, Jushou suddenly remembered and asked:

"But my lord, what are horseshoes and stirrups? What is the difference between a curved shaft plow and a straight shaft plow?"

The two were once again surprised and confused.

The official in charge of the forging institute took out the three artifacts with a smile and explained in detail:

"This is a curved shaft plow, which is more than 30% more efficient than a straight shaft plow, and only requires one ox and one person.

"It is also something invented and created by His Highness! Jushou and Tianfeng were astonished when they saw it, and exclaimed:"This thing can facilitate farmers and improve the efficiency of farming. It should be vigorously developed!""

"The Lord also said so."The official of the Forging Institute said regretfully:"It's a pity that after many wars, our iron reserves in Changshan are not enough."

"Don't worry, I have already sent people to search for iron ore, and at the same time, I have purchased iron tools from abroad."Liu Chen comforted with a slight smile.

This made the officials of the Forging Institute happy and said excitedly:"If this is the case, then horseshoes and stirrups can be mass-produced, which is really great!"

"Let’s talk about horseshoes and stirrups, which are comparable to these magical inventions?"Tian Feng asked curiously.

Movable type printing and the curved shaft plow are all artifacts that benefit all people. Horseshoes and stirrups made them even more curious!

The official of the forging institute carefully took them out from the secret place, and then showed off General explained:

"Exactly this! Don't think it's simple, horseshoes can prevent the horse's hoofs from being worn out and reduce the horse's consumption!

"And the stirrups allow the knight to ride on the horse as if on flat ground, greatly improving the overall strength. Even ordinary soldiers can easily control the horse!"

The words of the official of the Forging Institute made Jushou and Tianfeng take a breath, with a look of shock on their faces!

Horseshoes!

Seemingly simple, it can actually reduce the wear and tear of horseshoes and reduce the consumption of horses!

This is simply a magical tool! It is enough to make the whole man It is an artifact that the army officers are enthusiastic about!

You must know that horses in the Han Dynasty are rare, and most of them are imported and purchased from outside the Great Wall. If there is a war, or horses are driven for many years, the hoofs will be greatly worn out, and the horses will be consumed greatly!

But now that there are horseshoes, just like humans With the sole of the foot, this is simply an ancient invention!

It is enough to change the direction of an era!

Stirrups!

It shocked the two of them!

Nowadays, cavalry need to go through many years of training to control horses. Because they need to use their legs to clamp Riding a horse requires extremely high leg and foot skills.

Therefore, the training of cavalry is extremely difficult and expensive!

However, after having stirrups, the cavalry can walk on flat ground, and its power is increased. Even ordinary soldiers can control horses!

Jushou Wada Feng and Feng are even more confident. Even with a little training, they can easily drive horses for long distances without relying on carriages! The seemingly simple structure can change the direction of a battlefield! The more

Jushou and Tian Feng looked at it, the more shocked they became. , the more I looked at it, the more horrified I became, and a turmoil arose in my heart!

"This thing was also invented by His Highness! The official of the Forging Institute said with a smile:"

When the ironware arrives, the entire army will be equipped with horseshoes and stirrups. I, the Changshan Cavalry, will become the number one iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty!""

"The master's intelligence is beyond our reach! Jushou sighed and said:"These artifacts may seem simple, but in fact they show the results of my lord's great wisdom!""

"That is natural. Otherwise, why has no one studied such objects since ancient times? I can only say that the Lord’s wisdom is as bright as ever!"

Tian Feng also said with emotion.

They had just entered the palace today, but they were amazed by Liu Chen's successive talents - easily solving cases, and solving unjust, false and wrong cases in less than half a quarter of an hour!

He even invented movable type printing, Qu Plows, horseshoes, stirrups, saddles and other inventions that were enough to change an era!

"The Lord will surely leave his name in history!"The two looked at each other and said in unison.

Liu Chen smiled and said:"It's not that my wisdom is extraordinary, but that Confucianism is now in power. Everything is inferior but reading is good, which limits the crystallization of human wisdom."

Liu Chen's words made Ju Shou and Tian Feng change their expressions. After all, they had received Confucian education and grew up. They had preconceptions and would naturally side with Confucianism.

But after thinking about it deeply, regardless of whether they accepted it or not, they found that what Liu Chen said was true!

"Depose all schools of thought and respect only Confucianism! Ju Shou said helplessly:"

After Dong Zhongshu proposed it, it was recognized and implemented by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the contention of a hundred schools of thought will disappear!""

"This is a way to inhibit development, but it can confirm the status of the ruling class and the royal power."Tian Feng stepped forward and said:

"But the idea of ​​Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not wrong at the beginning. This Confucianism was mixed with some thoughts from Taoism, Legalism, Yin Yang, Five Elements, etc.

"It embodies the"compatibility" and"development" characteristics of Confucianism and is a new thought that keeps pace with the times.

"But with the changes of the times, things have gradually changed. Some rotten Confucians are using Confucianism to show off and deceive, and even stand above the temples.

"With Yuan Fu's behavior, can he still be regarded as a disciple of Confucianism? Jushou's face changed slightly:"

Yuan Hao, be careful!"

Liu Chen smiled and said:"It doesn't matter, Yuan Hao's intention is exactly what I want!" This is why I established medical schools, primary schools, middle schools and universities!"

"oh?

Ju Shou and Tian Feng were stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion:"I wonder what your lord has in mind?" Liu

Chen said meaningfully:

"This king wants to restore the glory of a hundred schools of thought contending! Everything is inferior, only reading is good, this is true.

"However, studying is not a way out, nor is it just for becoming an official.

"They can study to study astronomy, geography, physics, and chemistry, not just to promote filial piety and integrity as officials.

"There is no distinction between high and low professions. In my opinion, scholars, farmers, industry and merchants can also treat each other as equals!"

Liu Chen's words shocked Ju Shou and Tian Feng, as well as many petty officials who were printing!

In this era, scholars who study poetry and books are more noble than those who farm, work, and do business!

All living beings like Liu Chen are equal. If this idea were to spread, it would probably be scolded by scholars all over the world!

After Jushou and Tian Feng were shocked, they asked doubtfully:"My lord, I know astronomy and geography, but what are physics and chemistry?""

"It cannot be explained clearly in a few words. When I write the book, you will be able to roughly understand it after studying it."

Liu Chen said lightly:"I can only say that that is research enough to change an era!"

"I'm looking forward to it."Jushou and Tian Feng said with respectful salutes.
