Li Er and the others are indeed very family-like.

Why does Chen Chu think so, because their chess skills are very high, and ordinary people in this era, even if they can contact chess, it is impossible to have such skills.

The ones who are playing against each other are the eldest grandson Wuji and Yu Shinan, these are two big masters, their skills are on par with the two elders of An Chu, and they are all inseparable from each other.

Moreover, they are already familiar with the rules of Chen Chu's modern chess, and Chen Chu has been addicted to it after watching it for a while.

"I said, Datang or has there ever been a chess game before?" Chen Chu asked.

Liu Zhenghui, who was watching the game, said with a smile: "Of course there are games in the small circle, and they are endless, but the scale is relatively small, and they will not be out of the circle." ”

Chen Chu suggested: "I have an idea, I want to make a chess competition, and the winners will distribute prizes at that time, and then organize a larger-scale competition when the whole Datang chess atmosphere has been set off, what do you think?" ”

Li Er and the others looked at him with some surprise, it is a good thing to promote chess, but Chen Chu's meaning is probably not just as simple as making chess spread ordinary.

In the previous dynasty, the imperial examination had already begun to be implemented, and the biggest competition in the world was the pen and ink battle between scholars, and the scene was spectacular.

Nowadays, the style of study in various places has taken shape, there are more and more readers, more and more talents have been recruited by Datang, and the literacy rate in the world is increasing, all thanks to the imperial examination.

In the future, as Chen Chu said, what kind of grand will the nationwide chess competition be?

Yu Shinan couldn't hide his excitement and opened his mouth to express his support.

The eldest grandson Wuji also stroked his beard and nodded, and more folk entertainment could represent the real strength of the Tang Dynasty, make chess a kind of culture of the Tang Dynasty, and make the Tang people confident, so that the surrounding countries admired and convinced.

Li Er said: "There are a lot of officials in the imperial court who can play chess, and there are more such talents in Chang'an City. ”

Chen Chu smiled: "Don't worry, let it ferment for a while, discover and cultivate a group of people who understand how to play chess, and then I will find a way to promote it during this time." ”

"When chess is popular in Chang'an and is respected among the upper class, are you afraid that it will not be promoted throughout the country?"

Chen Chu looked a little triumphant, he had even conceived it.

When the time is ripe, directly engage in a chess super league and a first-class league, hehe.

As a major cultural symbol of the Chinese nation, Xiao Chen and I completely smashed him into the blood of the Tang people and imprinted him into their souls.

Later, Li Er and his entourage went back, and on the way, Li Er asked if there were any major things that had accumulated in the DPRK and China recently.

He hurried to deal with it in the past two days, and then their group was going to go out on a spring outing with Chen Chu.

"It seems that there is no major event for the time being, and the problems of drought control, dredging of the Chang'an River, as well as the transfer of materials and disaster victims, have now been steadily started."

"There's a problem." Yu Shinan said: "The drought and locust plague have caused many cases of selling children and women in Guanzhong, and it is reported that the situation in some places is already very serious. ”

"What, selling children?"

Li Er was shocked, although this is the standard situation in the disaster year, but now that the disaster situation in Datang has been controlled, how can this situation be tolerated?

"What should I do?" Li Er asked everyone.

The eldest grandson Wuji groaned; "If you want to solve this problem, it is simple, either you can crack down on a group of children who buy and sell children, or the court will pay to help those who sell children to redeem people."

Li Er snorted, Datang is in ruins, and some areas have recovered well.

Seeing that it was about to grow stronger, he couldn't tolerate this happening at this juncture.

"Now we are working together, while striking at people's teeth, and at the same time, the imperial court will fund it and send it to Fang Du, so that they can solve this phenomenon by the way."

"Of course, this money can't be paid by the imperial court, and after years of disasters and wars, I haven't been able to save money during the Wude years, and the money from the treasury has to be kept for profit, where can I use it?"

"If you want hundreds of officials and rich people in the city to raise donations, I want to see how much they can donate this time."

Li Er spoke, he predicted that this money would not be more than hundreds of thousands of yuan at most, and the money from the treasury would affect other plans.

The eldest grandson Wuji promised that he would mention it at the meeting tomorrow morning, but now he can let his subordinates spread the news, and many people must be able to get the news before they go to bed.

Whether or not to donate this money, and how to donate it, can give them a night to think.

The merit platform built on Suzaku Street has rarely had such a thing from ancient times to the present, and people have been carved on stone tablets and erected in praise.

Only in ancient times, the king worshiped the prime minister, rewarded the meritorious heroes, and commemorated the fallen soldiers would have such treatment.

Now, some people who have donated only a few hundred pieces of supplies can get that kind of treatment.

It is conceivable that as long as the merit platform is not demolished, their reputation will continue to spread.

What a treat this is, there are countless people near the merit platform from morning to night to watch, and many people have not returned from here for a day of jealousy.

For example, Song Jisheng, he stood here and watched with burning eyes for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry he became, if it weren't for the large number of people, he would want to give himself two more slaps.

"Damn, it's hateful, if there is a next fundraiser, Lao Tzu fights, he can't glorify his ancestors, what's the use of making more money?"

Song Jisheng said bitterly, and at this time, a man in black next to him said to him mysteriously.

"Boss Song, it's easy to glorify your ancestors, there is a ready-made opportunity now, but I don't know if you want to grasp it."

"What chance, who are you, you can't be trying to cheat me out of money, right?"

Song Jisheng looked at this stranger, covered his wallet vigilantly, and several surrounding family members also looked at him with unkind faces.

"Heh, I won't hide it from you, tomorrow the imperial court will launch a donation, which is about the drought in Guanzhong to sell children and daughters, and the imperial court will help them redeem their children and end this kind of chaos of human morality and morality."

Hmph, what does the imperial court donation have to do with me Song Jisheng Song Jisheng sneered, but he also pondered in his heart, and hurriedly took someone home.

If he does have to raise money tomorrow, how much money should he come up with?

I wonder if there will be a lot of responders, I don't know if 2,000 is enough? He thought painfully.

And Hou Junji was in the Luguo Mansion at this time, and he also learned the news.

"Money is something outside the body, Datang will have endless battles in the future, what are you doing with the money? It's better to have a name behind you. ”

Hou Junji directly asked the treasury to take 100,000 yuan of money.

This is a huge fortune even for him, seeing that his master has made such a big blood, everyone looks at each other and looks at each other in shock.

It seems that the lord who has tasted the sweetness is still going to fight this time! I only hope that the honor will come down to him at that time, so that they will have a sense of accomplishment when they follow.

So, the next morning, after the eldest grandson Wuji mentioned the fundraising in the court, the entire court was in chaos in an instant.
