Chapter 80 Banknotes

The game that Li Yuanjia took out did not keep the name "Monopoly" in the end. The reason is also very simple, it is a sentence of Chunyan - the name Monopoly is too vulgar.

This lively girl, after hearing Li Yuanjia's name, subconsciously blurted out the word "cheesy".

Anyway, Li Yuanjia's face was dark at that time, and the willow eyebrows next to him were so frightened that he pulled Chunyan's sleeves.

Of course, Li Yuanjia would not punish his maid for a truth, but after pondering for a while, he nodded and sighed: "That's right, Monopoly is indeed a bit vulgar, if I want to use this name, it is estimated that your princess will definitely not be able to play......"

He had forgotten that merchants were not welcome in ancient times.

More than a thousand years later, Monopoly is a compliment, and almost everyone likes it, but in this era, if Li Yuanjia dares to send this game to Fang Fengzhu and her girlfriends, telling them that the goal is to strive to become a Monopoly, it is really hard to say whether they will be stabbed to death by them with eye knives.

Say we're Monopoly? Isn't that swearing!

So Chunyan just reminded him, and Li Yuanjia directly abandoned the name of Monopoly and prepared to change to a name that was relatively tall in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, such as ...... Big landlords or something?

The Tang version of Monopoly is the gift that Li Yuanjia prepared to give to Fang Fengzhu.

Of course, it's not easy to make this game, although it's not complicated, but the game played by the most noble group of girls in Chang'an City, it is natural to make it exquisite enough. So in addition to at least ten beautiful little dolls to use as game characters, Li Yuanjia also had to design a series of houses for them, as well as a variety of ways to play.

And of course, the more important thing is the numbers that run through the game!

Li Yuanjia uses the simplest version of Monopoly, which only has the most basic functions and royal methods, but it costs money to buy land, it costs money to build a house, it costs money to make money or spend money when encountering various accidents, and it costs money to pass by other people's houses......

"Simply put, I'm going to print something."

After calling Li Zhong over, Li Yuanjia knocked on the table and said lightly: "I hope you use the best paper and the best ink to print...... By the way, if I want to have the exact same pattern on each one, is it troublesome to make? ”

When he said this, Li Yuanjia's eyes lit up and frightened.

"Uh, patterns?"

After a pause, Li Zhong asked with some curiosity: "King, I don't quite understand what you mean...... You're saying we print some patterns and add numbers on them? ”

"Yes, that's it!"

Nodding, Li Yuanjia handed him a piece of paper.

It is said to be a piece of paper, but in fact, the area is less than the size of a palm, it should be said that it is just a piece of paper. However, after seeing the things on this piece of paper, Li Zhong's eyes immediately widened, and he secretly took a breath of cold air!

Mom, what do you want to do today?

"How? Can it be printed? ”

"Goo-dong!"

Hearing the king's question again, Li Zhong didn't dare to delay, swallowed his saliva and said with a wry smile: "Back to the king's words, this painting is too detailed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the engraving!" ”

He knew that Li Yuanjia didn't like to hear lies, so he said it directly.

Sure enough, after listening to his words, the king didn't mean to be angry at all, but just looked at him curiously and said, "It's difficult? Can you give it a try? ”

“…… Yes. ”

Nodding, Li Zhong said helplessly: "But this painting is too fine, if you want to engrave it, you must use special materials." Either the best wood or iron sheets...... Even so, it may take a long time to complete the engraving! ”

After a few more careful looks, Li Zhong had a headache.

Of course, he knows that his king's calligraphy and painting are unique, although the reputation of Han Wangti is very bad, but the fame of painting is not small. Especially the ability of the willow branch charcoal pen to draw various drawings finely, outsiders may not know, how can Li Zhong and the managers of these workshops not know?

The pattern on this piece of paper is a clump of peony flowers, and the lines are so complex that it is too difficult to carve.

It's an ellipse in the middle, which should be used to fill in numbers?

"Hehe, that's it."

Seeing that Li Zhong's face was a little ugly, Li Yuanjia raised his eyebrows, took out another piece of paper and handed it to him: "Then take a look, is it still difficult to carve this one?" ”

The pattern is still the same, but the lines are much thicker and much simpler.

So after seeing it, Li Zhong's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded vigorously and said, "No problem, this is absolutely no problem!" Find a veteran, and I can make one for you in half a day at most. ”

"One? Hehe, one won't work. ”

Glancing at Li Zhong, Li Yuanjia tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and after sinking for a moment, he suddenly continued: "In this way, let someone make me twenty engravings, and add a number to me in the middle of each engraving - use Tianzhu numbers, and I'll write you a list later, and you can just do it." ”

"This ......"

Glancing at the piece of paper in his hand, Li Zhong hesitated for a moment, and said boldly: "Wang, do you mean to make twenty engravings that are exactly the same as this one, but the numbers in the middle are different?" ”

"yes, that's what it means."

Seeing that the king nodded, Li Zhong suddenly twitched the corner of his eyes, and hurriedly said: "If that's the case, don't be so troublesome, just carve one." After it is printed, you can print the number on it again......"

After Li Zhong left with the piece of paper and a list with a strange expression, Li Yuanjia rubbed his chin vigorously and couldn't help laughing.

Today's events are so much fun.

The initial goal was, of course, to complete the game of Monopoly, so Li Yuanjia wanted to make some simple paper "banknotes". And in order to take advantage of this good opportunity to promote Tianzhu numbers, he also plans to make these banknotes as beautiful as the cards of the Han Wangfu, and the same difficult to imitate, so as to force those who play the game to learn Arabic numerals - not only to know these numbers, but also to learn how to calculate how much to pay for as quickly as possible, how much to find, and so on.

But just as he was drawing these patterns, Li Yuanjia suddenly realized.

Aren't these things paper money?

So after having this idea, Li Yuanjia immediately gave up the idea of painting some cute little animals or painting a portrait of his own princess, but thought about it for a long time and replaced it with a graceful and luxurious peony flower.

Anyway, thinking of this, Li Yuanjia couldn't help laughing: "The first banknote in Chinese history turned out to be Dan Sheng in the game, haha!" Maybe in a decade or twenty, this thing may really become a reality......"
