After the New Year, Liu Zhang suddenly became leisurely, as soon as the affairs were shared by Xun Yu, he only needed to control the general direction, make decisions on some big issues, and don't have to worry about other things, he wanted to go to Shu to see when he was free, because he always remembered a sentence in later movies, "What is the most important thing in the 21st century?" Talent! He felt that this sentence was inaccurate, no matter that era, talent is the most important, looking back on history, you can find that whenever the dynasty changes, when the history changes drastically, the people who control the general trend of the world and call for wind and rain are those who have insight, because of this, Liu Zhang's investment in the academy has always been even within the Yizhou Group, there are many objections, because in their opinion, it is too wasteful, too extravagant! Liu Zhang has always turned a deaf ear to these objections, and no matter how strong the opposition is, he has never cut back on his commitment to the school......

When Liu Zhang instructed Dian Wei to prepare, he was told by Dian Wei that it was the New Year, and according to the rules he set, all students would have two months off during the winter vacation, and all schools would not open until the tenth day of February.

Liu Zhang slapped his head and had to give up. But doing nothing all day long made him very unaccustomed (although in later life, as an old otaku, he was the most tolerant of loneliness, but at that time there were movies, music, novels, and many rich games...... There are many, many things to pass the time, but now there is nothing, and it is not right, there is a game that he has never done in his previous life, of course, it is better to do this at night, but how to spend the day? In order to pass the time, yesterday he drew a map of backgammon, using Go chess pieces and Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Wu Ming, Zhou Cang's four major guards will fight, kill them to lose their armor, so not majestic, but after a few rounds of no interest, Dian Wei They are good at fighting, playing chess is too reluctant, plus unfamiliar with the rules, there is no challenge at all with them, even if they win, there is no sense of achievement! Later, he pulled Xun Yu, who came to report the matter, to play chess with him (when he first came to this era, he had pulled Xun Yu, Xun You and others to play Go when he was bored, but where was his brain the opponent of these people with violent IQs?) Even if people want to make concessions in order to maintain his majesty, he will not be in battle, which shows the huge gap between them. Later, he never mentioned playing Go again! Now, he felt that the time had come for his revenge, after all, backgammon and Go were two completely different ways to play, and this was still a new thing for Xun Yu, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart: "How good is Go?" Look at my five-in-a-row nine-dan master's battle of shame today! ”

Who knew that Xun Yu, who had just asked Liu Zhang for advice on the rules of backgammon, hurriedly went into battle, gave Liu Zhang a disadvantage in the first game, and let Liu Zhang admit defeat in the twenty-third hand.

In the second game, Liu Zhang put away his complacency and dealt with it carefully, but even so, he didn't take more than a dozen steps.

The next few rounds are even simpler, Xun Yuluozi, who is becoming more and more handy, almost doesn't have to think about it, Liu Zhang repeats the mistake of Go, and suddenly puts up the shelf of the lord, no more, and drives Xun Yu back to deal with official business, Xun Yu leaves the Cheqi General's Mansion with a wry smile.

From then on, Liu Zhang never mentioned Go and backgammon again. But he doesn't admit defeat, Go and backgammon can't win against them, so look for something else, find your own strengths! There are so many games in later generations, there is always one that will definitely raise your eyebrows!

"Chess?" Liu Zhang secretly thought: "Forget it, at most, it will be the first few games, and after these people with violent IQs are familiar with the rules, most of them are also humiliating!" ”

"Military chess? I don't know much about that stuff myself, so forget it! ”

……

In the end, Liu Zhang gave up the idea of recovering the field from chess!

"Why don't you try playing mahjong? Fighting landlords? Finally, Liu Zhang thought of an excellent way, immediately he called Dian Wei, let him find a poplar, he personally instructed the craftsman to sawn the poplar into many small sections one inch wide, two inches long, half an inch thick, and then polished smooth, one side painted with green paint, painted red on all sides, after the cool drying, he found his beloved wife Cai Yan, and asked the talented woman to write 10,000, 20,000, and 30,000 on the blank side...... Although Cai Yan didn't understand what her husband was going to do, but when she saw her husband's happy appearance, she let go of the doubts in her heart, as long as he was happy!

More than an hour later, a deck of mahjong one hundred and eight mahjong tiles will be successfully made, don't ask why only one hundred and eight, east, south, west, north, middle, hair, white those went where? Liu Zhang is a Sichuanese, and there are no those in the mahjong of the Sichuan people!

Liu Zhang immediately called his mother and Yaoting, set up tables and chairs in a corner pavilion in the backyard of the Cheqi General's Mansion, sat around, and explained the rules several times in a row, and waited until they all understood, and then started the main internship (he didn't directly find Xun Yu and their "shame" because he wanted to practice first and regain the momentum of killing all sides on the Internet before, this is his last hope for "turning the tables", and he can't be in a hurry).

The maids and servants of the general's mansion soon learned that their lord had invented a novel gadget, and they all poured into the small courtyard at once, and in the end, four people played mahjong, but the number of onlookers reached forty or fifty, and the scene was very spectacular! When Liu Zhang called "Hu" again and again, he suddenly thought of the scene in the gambling film directed by Wang Jing where the gambling gods, gamblers, and gambling saints defeated powerful opponents one by one in the eyes of everyone at the final showdown!

"Haha, Yan'er, you're so unlucky, you're confused for your husband again...... Uniform...... Quadruple ...... Quick, give money, give money, give ......" In the corner pavilion, Liu Zhang's proud laughter suddenly sounded.

"Yan'er, how can you play 90,000......" Liu's mother saw that Liu Zhang was confused again, and said: "This card is so raw, my mother didn't dare to play ...... when she touched it" said, and also showed a 90,000 in front of her.

Liu Zhang couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, my mother is making such a fast progress, she will deduct the card!" Awesome, awesome! As he spoke, he gave his mother a thumbs up.

Cai Yan's face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly: "Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law...... Don't want a son......"

Mother Liu said: "That's the case! Go ahead, I'll have to paste the next handful! ”

Cai Yan took four copper coins from the hand of the maid Cai'er and handed them to Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang proudly put them to his mouth and blew them, and then learned to distinguish the true and false appearance of the ocean and put it to his ears...... Start a new round. Here I want to say that dice were first discovered in the Warring States period, and there is no need for Liu Zhang to "invent" it alone!

Mother Liu put thirteen mahjong, can't help but secretly rejoice, thirteen cards in the ten thousand sons accounted for nine, of which one, two, thirty thousand each, one pair of forty thousand, six, seven, eight, ninety thousand each, four tubes, one-to-one tube, a four-cylinder, a seven-cylinder.

On the Liu Zhang, he should play the cards first, Liu Zhang casually threw the least 10,000 cards in his hand, and said: "40,000 ......"

Liu's mother's eyes are not very good, all when playing cards, she asked her son and daughter-in-law to shout louder, heard her son shout "40,000", hurriedly raised his hand, signaled for the time being, carefully looked at the cards in his hand, and said after confirmation: "touch the ......" said, pushed down the two 40,000 in his hand, and Liu Zhang picked up the 40,000 and put it together.

Liu's mother played four cylinders after touching the cards. Then the Yaoting touched the card, which was a cylinder card that she didn't need, and she didn't bother to grab it and change it to another cylinder in her hand to play out, so she directly turned over the one she touched and said, "A tube ......"

One tube is a big round cake, which is easy to distinguish, so Liu's mother didn't waste time, and shouted directly: "Touch the ......" followed by seven cylinders, and said to her son and daughter-in-law with a smile: "Mother, I called it, you all be careful, don't set off the cannon, mother, I want to be *......"

In order to make Liu's mother happy, the three of them immediately showed a "scared" look, and Liu's mother couldn't help but be happy.

Plain and indifferent turn, it was Liu's mother's turn to touch the card again, it turned out to be a tube, Liu's mother hurriedly put it together just touched, and said: "Bar ......" but did not rush to touch the card, but let the maid bring the eldest grandson over, put the grandson's chubby little hand on the next hidden card, and said: "Good grandson, come, you help grandmother touch a 'pole flower'!" ”

Little Liu Xun didn't understand at all, he was holding a piece of sucrose and licking Zhengxiang, listening to his grandmother's words, the milk voice of "oh", and pushed the mahjong in front of Liu's mother, but he didn't understand what the real "touch mahjong" was, and after pushing it in front of Liu's mother, he retracted his hand and licked it with sucrose.

Mother Liu had to open it by herself, but she didn't expect it to come true, it turned out to be a "90,000" ......

"Haha...... Flower ...... on the pole I was confused ......" said, kissed his grandson's little face, praised his grandson a few times, and then handed over his grandson to the maid to take care of, and then stretched out his hand and said: "Four turns, everyone has a share, never fall short, give money to money......"

Liu Zhang said: "This stinky boy, what's not good to touch Zhang Jiuwan, you must beat his ass well at night......

"You dare to ......" Mother Liu slapped Liu Zhang's hand and said angrily: "If you dare to touch a single hair of my grandson, I will beat you and you won't be able to find the ...... of the north."

Liu Zhang suddenly didn't dare to speak, and handed over the four pennies that had just been camped Cai Yan to Liu's mother, and said, "I haven't covered it yet......

Cai Yan and Yaoting also gave four copper coins each, and praised "Mother-in-law is really lucky", while Liu's mother attributed her good luck to her grandson.

The four of them enjoyed themselves until the maid came forward to report that supper was ready, and invited them back to the house to eat, and they ended the whole afternoon's battle.

After counting the results, Liu's mother won seven copper coins, but Liu Zhang was a "big winner", with fifty-six copper coins, and the one who lost the most was Cai Yan, she alone lost sixty, and the other loser, Yaoting, only lost three.

Until dinner, the four of them were still discussing and summing up, planning to continue the "fight" tomorrow.

After dinner, Liu Zhang asked Dian Wei to tell those craftsmen to come out in the same way, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy!

Liu Zhang's small invention swept the whole of Chengdu at a very fast speed, and then became popular throughout Yizhou, Dahan, and even more distant places. There is a joke in later generations that a blind man went out to travel, and when he got off the plane, he heard the sound of rubbing mahjong, and he knew that he was in Sichuan, and I don't know if it was Liu Zhang's 'credit'.

Liu Zhang's creation of mahjong is not simply to "shame" Xun Yu and them, but more importantly, he wants to have one thing to let his beloved wives in the back house relieve their boredom and spend that long empty time during the expedition! For this reason, he later created solitaire, flying chess, Monopoly, checkers, etc., among which solitaire is the most "great", because it has too many ways to play, what to fight the landlord, fried gold, stud, upgrade......

And all these utensils have spread out at a very fast speed, and endured, so that more than ten years later, the entire Han gambling became a trend, at that time, Liu Zhang, who was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, had to order a ban on gambling and vigorously crack down on casinos......

And Liu Zhang's gambling style was also included in the history books of the Han Dynasty many years later, becoming one of the rare stains on this Zhongxing holy master.
