The appearance of chess disrupted all their previous arrangements.
No one thought that the supply and marketing department would come up with such an item during the trial run.
It’s not a business at all, but a kind of chess that can become the second kind of chess!
From the beginning to the end, Li Changan's test for the Supply and Marketing Department was not at all about how to close those bulk commodity transactions.
It's about how to deliver goods to various places in Dajin in the shortest possible time.
Chess is just outside the scope of their influence.
More importantly, the huge influence behind chess.
If it can be juxtaposed with the way of Go, this means that... chess will become a brand new way of becoming a saint!
The two ministers, Gu Shihong and Geng Qingsong, both saw the look of horror in each other's eyes.
Sanctify!
What a distant word?
For thousands of years, there has been no saint in the world.
It seems that all the roads to sanctification have been completed by the forefathers, and no one in the later generations will take the road to sanctification.
Who could have imagined that today, Li Changan would actually throw chess!?
It is not the poems and essays on which he became famous and shocked the world, nor is it calligraphy and painting, nor is it a storybook.
But the humble chess skills!
He was born on an already narrow road and took a second road.
…
Inside White Deer Academy, many people have already obtained chess pieces at this time.
"Everyone, I grabbed a box of chess from the Supply and Marketing Bureau today. It was created by Uncle Zhongyong. How about we compare notes?"
"Chess? What is this? A new chess game?"
"That's interesting. I've never heard of Uncle Zhongyong being interested in chess before."
"Many predecessors and sages have also tried chess, but the chess games they have developed are difficult to compare with Go. They can only be spread within a small area and are difficult to pass down to the world."
"I wonder if the chess game created by Uncle Zhongyong can be compared with that of our predecessors."
Everyone is no stranger to chess, and many people can play chess as a common way to pass the time.
Now that Li Changan has launched a new chess game, you can give it a try.
Several people gathered inside and opened the wooden box.
At first, they had the mentality of playing a few games casually, but after reading the rules, they all made the same frowning gesture.
"This chess... doesn't seem to be simple..."
"At a glance, including the great men who suppressed the world back then seems like a chess game."
“Isn’t the Chu-Han realm a reappearance of the confrontation between the Han Dynasty and the overlord of Chu at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty?”
"Each type of chess piece has a different number of ways, and when combined together, it is ever-changing. The result is not only victory or defeat, but also a draw."
"This is the only chess game among so many chess techniques that has a draw!"
The rules description was passed on to others.
After everyone read it, they all went through it in their minds. Even if they just looked at the rules, they could see how extraordinary chess is.
The two people in the inner circle had already placed the chess pieces and started playing chess.
At the beginning, there was some intention to follow a fixed chess path, but in the middle stage, the chess fight between the two became intense.
Draw money from the bottom of the cauldron, fish for the moon from the bottom of the sea, kill with cars and artillery...
They are not ordinary people, their understanding is extraordinary, they quickly grasped the essence, and they are not merciless when fighting.
The scribes who were watching the chess game all craned their necks to watch. Seeing their classmates playing chess, they felt even more itchy.
"You and I will go to the Supply and Marketing Bureau and buy two more boxes. This chess set is absolutely extraordinary, and it will add a brand new chess style from now on!"
"Uncle Zhongyong is my student from Bailu, so I just want to support you."
…
Ordinary students can only feel the excellence of chess when they first meet it, but rarely think about it deeper.
But the expressions of those third-grade scholars suddenly changed within less than a stick of incense after seeing the chess set.
"This...the second way of chess!"
"Enough to compete with Go!"
"This means...this chess game can completely become a new way to become a saint!"
Zhao Hongshan looked at the wooden box in his hand and his breathing became rapid.
Thoughts were swirling in my mind, and it was chaotic like never before.
They have already entered the third level and are already at the top of this world. There are not many things that can make them crazy.
Sanctification is the most crazy thing among them.
Now, the emergence of chess allows them to see the dawn of the way to sainthood.
This chess piece has the appearance of the holy way!
"This method of chess can be said to be in the same vein as the "Book of Changes". Xiangqi is called the chess player, and it is also a chess game played by chess."
"It also coincides with the Confucianism and Taoism of 'benevolence, justice, wisdom, propriety, trust and loyalty'."
"Obviously two armies are fighting, but they are still able to draw a tie. It is not about winning or losing, but about the joy of playing chess."
"One step can turn the tide, one step can bring a new life back to life, until the point is reached, this is the hidden truth in chess, peace is the most precious thing."
"Generals and soldiers cannot leave the Nine Palaces, and elephants cannot cross the river... Every rule has a profound meaning."
"Chess... chess..."
Zhao Hongshan put away the wooden box and stood up directly.
Before he could leave, he was stopped by a figure.
It's An Shitang.
"What's going on at Anxian Office?" Zhao Hongshan asked.
An Shitang raised the chess box in his hand, "Brother Zhao must have seen this thing before."
Zhao Hongshan nodded, with a solemn expression, "This matter is no small matter. Xiangqi has the appearance of a holy way. We must be prepared to prepare for it."
"Yes, this is the seedling of the Holy Path!" An Shitang put away the chess box, "What are you going to do?"
Zhao Hongshan walked outside Jianmu, "No matter what, we must first ensure the safety of that kid."
"It's best to bring him to Jianmu. This is the safest place."
"Besides, it's time for him to be admitted to the main hospital."
An Shitang also walked out together, "Enter the main hospital? He will not just be a student or a teacher when he enters the main hospital."
Zhao Hongshan nodded, "Although he is only in the fifth rank, being the head of the general hospital is already the limit, but he invented chess."
"The chess lineage is perfect for me. Even if my qualifications are still relatively low, why not be a deputy lineage leader based solely on chess?"
"In two or three years, it will be a matter of course for me to become the master of chess."
As he said that, he disappeared in one step.
An Shitang followed closely behind,
"Chess context? Why not cultural context? Chess has the appearance of the holy way. Although having the holy way does not necessarily mean becoming a saint, it is at least 30% certain, and the first rank is a certainty."
"Enough to push White Deer Academy to new heights!"
"The position of Master belongs to him alone. Wouldn't his cultural background be better?"
Zhao Hongshan shook his head helplessly, "The Master of Wenmai should at least have a Wengui, right?"
"As long as he is willing to accept the cultural legacy given by the academy, he is the master of cultural heritage."
"But once the inherited cultural relics are integrated, even the best first-grade cultural relics will eventually be destined to die at the second-grade, and the help of the holy way to him will not be that great."
"Although it will be of great benefit to White Deer Academy no matter what, since he can practice well without Wenlu now, it's better not to interfere."
"The master of the Qi vein is just right and will not stand on the cusp of the storm. In the future, he will ascend to the position of master and become the first master of the Qi vein to ascend the position of master. It will also become a good story."
An Shitang shrugged, "As long as you can convince the people in Wensheng Palace."
Zhao Hongshan is quite confident about this, "As long as they have seen chess, they will naturally not refuse. Anyone who refuses is a traitor to White Deer Academy."
"A person who can create a second chess path cannot be the master of chess. Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?"
"I think Songyue, Xiangshan, Wansong and others would like to use their position as Pulse Master to invite Li Changan over."
The two of them arrived at the Li family courtyard in one step, preparing to meet Li Changan in person.
An Shitang thought of something, and then asked, "Master Qi Maimai... Do you think he is a bit angry?"
"White Deer Academy and the Imperial College have been promoting his marriage to Dugu Qing, and then he came up with a chess piece..."
Zhao Hongshan was stunned for a moment, then twitched the corner of his mouth, "The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible..."
"And it's also using the newly built supply and marketing department to spread throughout Dajin. Thinking about it, I think it's a bit too eager."
"It's not an injustice to him to say that it's a public weapon for private use. The most important thing is that he is only at the fifth level. It's too early to introduce chess."
"Even the growth of the Holy Path requires time to accumulate, but starting from the third level is undoubtedly the best time."
"This brat, I have to teach him a lesson..."
As he said that, he glanced at An Shitang and said, "Your great-grandson-in-law is a bit of a prodigal."
An Shitang also had a bad look on his face, "Go in and take a look. I want to see what's going on in this kid's head."
As soon as the two of them arrived at the door of Li's courtyard, they were stopped by Wang Tiangang.
