On this day, Ye Tao comprehensively inspected all the preparations for the Yi Zhan Building. The building is fully completed and some final fit-out work is being completed. The hiring and training of the staff has been fully put in place with the strong cooperation of Tan Weixin, who seems to be more proficient in the training business than Ye Tao. As for the production of marching chess and related products and the storage of goods, there is no need to worry, the Ye Workshop in Danyang has drawn out a few apprentices and hired a group of apprentices locally, which solves this problem very well. All kinds of molds are directly transferred from Yicheng's Ye's Workshop, and the rest of the simple and repetitive production work can be easily solved with a yawn for those in Ye's Workshop.

That night, after discussing with Tan Weixin, they began to prepare for the unveiling ceremony of the Yizhan Building. Tan Weixin seems to be very proficient in this aspect of business, except for asking Ye Tao to take out the design draft of the invitation, prepare the speech on the opening day, and determine the procedures of the entire unveiling ceremony, she arranged all the other work quickly and methodically. And after discussing the agenda of the entire unveiling ceremony, they knew that it would be a ceremony that had never been seen before in this era, and it was bound to leave a deep impression.

Ten days later, the lecture hall of the Yizhan Building was filled with all kinds of people, most of whom were young people. Among them, the most of them are the people who can be regarded as the sons of the capital, although the relationship between them is complicated, there are many people who don't like each other, and they are divided into several circles, but since it is an invitation sent by Tan Weixin, they are really embarrassed to refuse, and perhaps, they don't dare not come. There are also many children of merchants who have lived in Beijing for a long time, they have leisure and money, some of them still manage their family's shops, some make friends in the name of studying in Beijing, and some are simply professional "players". Some of them are young officers in the army, some are from generals, some are from small soldiers who have been promoted to their current positions, and all the officers who were invited are people who usually like to play marching chess, or at least have some interest in the game, and professionally speaking, they are much more serious than those who play marching chess with a game mentality. There are also people from all walks of life who have a good relationship with the princess's mansion or the Ye family. From the people invited, compared with some modern press conferences, except for the "media reporter" class that may not exist for a long time in this era, I am afraid that there are really many elements.

The performance of "Fishing Boat Singing Evening", which was accompanied by Liu Xiangyuan again, naturally turned off the lights of the entire venue and quieted the entire venue. When the show ended, a bright light shone from the zenith in the dark center of the stage. Under that pillar of light, there was a wooden podium and Ye Tao, who was wearing a light gray robe, standing upright.

"First of all, I would like to thank all of you for coming to the unveiling ceremony of the Yi Zhan Building, and for participating in this moment when all lovers of this special game, which loves marching chess, a unique game of this era, can come together, witness their own ideas, and make more friends The place opened its doors to everyone. ......"Ye Tao's hands were on the podium, as if he was presiding over a new product launch in the era he was accustomed to loving. "We don't love war, but through marching chess, we may be able to get a glimpse of the great stars who turned war into art, turned ideas that others thought impossible into reality, struggled to dance in necessity and chance, and proudly wrote their names in history."

"Marching chess is such a game, a game that is not a battlefield, but strives to present a style similar to that of a battlefield." With Ye Tao's words, a bright image appeared on the big screen behind him.

Something drawn with crystal pieces is used as a PPT, which is luxurious enough. Tan Weixin, who was sitting quietly with a cup of tea in the first row of seats, saw Ye Tao's eyes looking at her at this moment, and squeezed her eyes mischievously. Let everything feel familiar and comfortable, this is the most vivid life.

After roughly explaining the origin, development and changes of marching chess, and introducing the general rules, Ye Tao explained to everyone the "grand strategy" gameplay officially released with the unveiling of the Danyang main store of Yizhan Building, more troops, more complex rules, more operable elements, more elements that need to be considered from the strategic aspect, and even the inevitable need for team cooperation to carry out the combined command of the large corps, which made all the people present who knew something about marching chess excited. Those young officers in the army were even more surprised, this was simply a detailed and regularized sand table deduction. Compared with the routine sand table deduction used by the military department to test young officers, the "grand strategy" gameplay is not much more sophisticated, and even takes into account the abilities of different generals and many accidental factors that will appear on the battlefield. Perhaps, this is indeed not a battlefield, not a real war, but it is perfect to test your understanding of strategy, campaigns and tactics with marching chess and grand strategy games.

In the grand strategy gameplay, the kind of battle that originally went to the first march chess just became a drama battle, which only tested the ability to control specific small-scale battles, and it would probably be normal to win the battle and lose the battle. The passage of time is tied to a quasi-turn system, with weather and other changes being decided by dice. The effects of weather on the march will be reflected in a series of rules and formulas for grand strategy gameplay. The pawns of the generals who command the troops will have different effects on the troops he leads, some generals can speed up the march, some generals have a bonus for siege warfare and defensive battles, some generals have bonuses on certain terrains, and some generals can reduce the possibility of the breakout of the troops in the case of lack of supplies or continuous failures, and some generals can get additional bonuses such as attack, defense or action when commanding a certain class. As for the various troop designs, and the different ability biases of different troop classes, it makes people wonder and praise a good word when they think about it. can design such a game and improve the grand strategy gameplay to this extent, if you want to say that Ye Tao doesn't understand military affairs, maybe no one believes it.

Due to the complexity of the rules and the many calculation formulas, all the gifts received by everyone who participated in the unveiling ceremony included a thick explanation of the rules of the grand strategy gameplay, which was more than 200 pages thick. This booklet contains all the information in pictures and texts. And this book will be sold in the game shop in the future.

The projections, combined with Ye Tao's explanation, let everyone have a more comprehensive and intuitive understanding of the grand strategy gameplay of marching chess, and those exquisite chess pieces are also dazzling. Different types of troops have different carved chess pieces to represent, and each kind of chess pieces in addition to fully conforming to the characteristics of the troops, but also integrated with the artistic design, all of which fully express the majestic and high-spirited temperament of the military, and even the carving of those heavy soldiers, are fully demonstrated to bear hardships and stand hard work.

When Ye Tao explained the various facilities of the Yi Zhan Building, the membership system of the Yi Zhan Building, and the types of services that can be provided to members in the future, and the Yi Zhan Building, especially the various services that the hall can provide to everyone, the illustrated slides impressed everyone even more.

In the end, this unveiling finally reached the climax after Ye Tao's announcement that the first marching chess open tournament would be held half a year later, setting up 10,000 taels of gold as the championship bonus, and the total prize amount would reach 100,000 taels of gold. In this era, there has never been a more stylish opening.
