Chapter 105: Significance
Just when Li Yi and others were working hard for their ideals and pursuits, Xu Ang, the recently appointed county magistrate of Xishui County, was happily playing games in the lobby of the county office.
"Call the landlord!"
"I'll rob it!"
"Don't!"
……
"Three-to-three!"
"Circle!"
"Tube! Pair two! ”
"I'm fried! There's only one card left! ”
"I can't afford ......"
"Young master, you have also played this card well!" Qi Niang next to her applauded.
"An eight, it's over! CheckoutCheckout! Qi Niang, how much money do they owe me? Xu Ang shook off the cards in his hand and asked loudly
Looking at Duan Shao and Chen Liang with sad faces, Qi Niang said, "Young Master Chen Liang owes three taels, and Duan Shao owes eight taels!" ”
Hearing this, Xu Ang's heart was full of pride, thinking that my reputation as a casino ghost finally has hope of seeing the light of day!
It turned out that Xu Ang was really bored, so he found some pastime to play, Qi Niang and Mu Caiyun were unwilling to play horse hanging, the three of them were stunned and the three were missing one, and the people who pulled up the county office did not dare to win themselves, and it was really boring to play the business card. Fortunately, the rules are not complicated, and after trying to play a few fights, a few people will play well, and now they have begun to add color.
"What's the account? Will I still be able to repay my debts? Shuffle and shuffle! Keep fighting! Duan Shao lost the most, and he was also unconvinced, and he wanted to get back to his roots.
Xu Ang and Chen Liang also won the bet, and the three of them quickly became a ball, Mu Caiyun on the side watched them play with relish, but Chen Liang and Duan Shao were poor and had to arrange for Qi Niang to keep accounts, and Xia Er served tea and poured water on the side, but it was a happy look.
"Brother Xu! I've come to you to discuss the poems. ”
The three of them fought rightly, and they didn't pay attention to the people around them, Xu Ang looked up and was startled, isn't this Lord Wu? Why did you suddenly run over and play cards in the court, this is embarrassing.
"Xu County Ling is really doing his best for the people! It's past dinner time, and I'm still handling official business in court! If all the officials under my rule are as industrious as you, it will be a blessing to the people! ”
Wu Hongwei's eyes are sincere, and his language is sincere and not ironic. Xu Ang's old face turned red when he heard this, and he waved his hand to signal Qi Niang to put away the account book.
"It turned out that the chief had arrived! Why didn't you send someone to report it? Xiaguan is far away, forgive sins, forgive sins! ”
"Oops! Don't be so polite to you and me! It's been a long time since I've seen you, but I've written a few more poems recently, let's talk about it together? Hey! What are you holding in your hands? How come you've never seen it? ”
Xu Ang wanted to quietly hide the poker in his hand, who knew that this move actually attracted Wu Hongwei's attention, Wu Hongwei had never seen such a small square-shaped piece, so he asked.
Xu Ang suddenly felt embarrassed, and as soon as he had an idea, he made up, "This!" We played a little game called Fighting the Landlord, which I made after gluing a few layers of silk cloth with glue......"
Wu Hongwei heard this, thought for a while, and said, "Why is this game called Fighting Landlords?" ”
"Oooo Well, this one! When I reviewed the files of the county office in public, I saw that there were many rich landlords and landlords who were rich and unkind, and I was angry! It's a pity that I have no way, in addition to feeling for the suffering people, I can only use this game to resolve the anger in my heart, and fight these landlords in my heart, so that I can feel better. Xu Ang's words were so impassioned that he almost believed them.
"I see, my brother has the people in his heart, which is really a blessing for the court and a blessing for the people! Fast! Teach me how to play? Wu Hongwei praised Xu Ang casually, and his attention was still on this poker.
Xu Ang was overwhelmed, and it is understandable if you think about it carefully, this world is just chess, Go, backgammon, pai gow, horse hanging and other games, and they are all old things, suddenly a new way to play appeared, Wu Hongwei felt that the novelty was understandable.
"This is divided into four suits, which are hearts...... "Xu Ang began to explain, but fortunately, the rules were simple, but he didn't introduce them for too long.
"Oh! It turns out that this strange symbol is a number! Now it seems simple! Wu Hongwei said with a smile
"Master Wu, do you understand this?" Xu Ang asked
"I understand a little, but I don't quite understand it yet!" Wu Hongwei said
"It's easy! We played it a few times and got familiar with it quickly! Xu Ang said, "There is a way to learn on paper, and you will eventually feel shallow, you must know that this matter needs to be done!" ”
"Exactly!" Wu Hongwei said with a smile.
Anyway, Xuan Ang didn't care that Lu You's coffin board couldn't be suppressed, and Duan Shao and Wu Hongwei began to fight the landlord, and it didn't take long for Wu Hongwei to become familiar with the rules, and every card was recognized, and the three of them played happily.
"Xiao Xu! Your game is really good, it seems simple, but there is offense and defense, but I give you an opinion, you removed these mysterious things, I believe there will be many people willing to play! Wu Hongwei said
"Remove something?" Hearing Wu Hongwei say this, Xu Ang was surprised, this poker is a classic that has been tested by time, and Wu Hongwei can put forward suggestions for improvement when he sees it for the first time?
"You're that number! Isn't it good to use our usual numbers? I have to make a fool of myself with this Raushzi... Ah, what number comes? Wu Hongwei said
"Arabic numerals!" Xu Ang reminded
"That's right! The Arabic numerals are also too awkward! Wu Hongwei said
Wu Hongwei thought for a while, and added, "It's still easy to use our Da Zhou's counting method." ”
Xu Ang thought about it, smiled and didn't speak, the simplicity and method of Arabic numerals are recognized, Wu Hongwei said this is just that he is used to using the traditional way, so he feels simple, and he is embarrassed to argue at this time, so he asked
"Master Wu knows all about this card?"
"Got acquainted! It's not hard, you! Young people rely on their own knowledge, so they are tricky, but they have to be down-to-earth! Wu Hongwei touched the poker in his hand and couldn't put it down, but said to Xu Ang seriously.
Xu Ang also didn't care, thinking to himself, this Arabic numeral is a good thing, if Da Zhou wants to become a strong country, it must be introduced, the current counting method is too backward!
Wait a minute! Xu Ang seems to have been struck by lightning, right! That's it! Xu Ang began to be happy, in that case, why can't this person be me? Since I can't and can't change the world, why not make a streetlight? It must be meaningful for me to come into this world! It's definitely not just to come here to teach the people here to fight the landlord!
While fighting the landlord, I can also spread Arabic numerals, if I have my own share of credit for watching the world change in this way, wouldn't it be much more fun?
Thinking of this, Xu Ang was overjoyed, after such a long time, Xu Ang finally found something meaningful, or more interesting to do, Xu Ang was elated! Looking at the playing cards in his hand with excitement on his face, it was as if he had seen the picture of the teacher lecturing in the classroom.
"Students! The great mathematician Mr. Xu Ang said that mathematics is the only way for the Jade Emperor to express the world, we must learn mathematics well, learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and we are not afraid to go all over the world! ”
What an exciting picture, Xu Ang couldn't help but leave saliva.
Mu Caiyun, who was snorting melon seeds on the side, saw Xu Ang staring at the playing cards in a daze, and stretched out his neck curiously to take a look, only to see Xu Ang holding the big and small king in his hand.
"Humph!"
Mu Caiyun slapped the melon seeds in his hand on the public case, turned around and left.
