Chapter 30: The Usefulness of Toys
"Yes. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Fusu replied respectfully.
Fusu looked up and noticed the person next to Li Si. This is a big man with a national character face wearing an official uniform, staring at Fusu, with the word curiosity written in his eyes, like a hillbilly who has just entered the city, but without the cringe of the hillbilly process, it is more like a kind of examination or exploration.
With Li Si's current reputation, ordinary people will naturally show nervousness unnaturally when they accompany Li Si, but this person next to him will actually examine and explore Fusu, which makes Fusu very curious.
This person is seven feet tall, his hair is meticulously arranged, his face is full of seriousness, full of coldness, and the Danfeng eyes under the eyebrows of the silkworm seem to penetrate people's hearts, and his lips are tightly pursed. A simple linen dress, wearing it on him has its own bearing.
"Why did the son leave the palace and come to my house today?" Li Si led the big man and Fusu to Xiaoxuan, where he was entertaining, and asked.
"The craftsmen in the palace have created two gadgets, which are specially dedicated to the master for one or two." What Fusu said is very serious.
"Take it out and have a look." Li Si knew that Fusu had raised a large number of craftsmen in the palace, in addition to making some toys for the princess and princess of Qin, he also did some inexplicable research, and he didn't know what Fusu took out this time.
Fusu motioned to Xiling to take the military chess in his hand, this is a wooden box, open the box is a small piece of wood, engraved on the top, the box is folded in half and buckled upside down on the desk, and lines are drawn on it.
Fusu took out the chess pieces, and then said to Li Si: "Teacher, this is one of them, I call it military chess." As he spoke, he motioned to Meng An and Xiling to place the chess pieces one by one, and began to explain the rules of military chess to Li Si.
When Fusu finished talking about the first rule of flipping chess, Li Si was still nodding his head, and seemed to be very interested in this kind of small game invented by Fusu, but when Fusu finished talking about the three rules of flipping chess, and was about to start the rules of vertical chess, Li Si's face was already embarrassed, but the big man next to him still listened with relish.
"Okay, just let Meng An and Xiling demonstrate." Li Si was reluctant to listen to Fusu continue to engage in theoretical elaboration, and was ready to let the two little chamberlains practice teaching.
Meng An and Xiling hurriedly stepped forward to place the chess pieces, and then looked at Fusu with blank eyes, not knowing what to do next.
Fusu put his hand on his forehead and said helplessly: "How I teach you, you can play how you want, hurry up and start." ”
After finishing speaking, Fusu stepped aside and asked Li Si and the square-faced man to watch the two little chamberlains fiddling with military chess, Meng An and Xiling were more than ten years older than Fusu, but they were all Fusu's followers in front of and behind them.
……
"How?" Fusu asked Li Si expectantly, wanting to get his affirmation, so that he could use this aura to dedicate to Yingzheng.
Li Si glanced at the square-faced man and said, "There is another box, take a look and then talk." ”
Fusu waved his hand and asked Meng An and Xiling to demonstrate chess, but obviously although it looked clearer when he remembered it, the two little chamberlains were not as proficient in military chess, and even the position of the chess pieces needed Fusu's help to place them correctly.
The demonstration of chess took a little longer than military chess, but Li Si and the square-faced man watched it more attentively.
Fusu motioned to Meng An to put the two sets of chess sets on several cases, knelt down at the bottom of Li Si, and waited for Li Si to comment.
"You call it 'military chess'," Li Si twisted up a chess piece, "Although it is not a system of all-inclusive marching, it also has considerable points, used in the army, it can be used to set respect and humility, clear laws and orders, and soldiers can use it well, but it is not of great use to generals, but it is just a plaything." Then he picked up another piece of chess, "Compared with it, although this chess has fewer pieces, it has more changes, and it can make the generals learn hard." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at the square-faced man, and said with a smile: "What does Brother Wei think?" ”
"It's a plaything, but it's beneficial."
Hearing this, Fusu showed a rather complacent look on his face, waiting for Dahan to continue speaking, but Dahan cherished words like gold and refused to speak again.
Seeing Fusu's expression, Li Si smiled even more, and said to Dahan, "Brother Wei might as well talk about it carefully." ”
"Military chess is used in the army, not only to let soldiers know respect and humility, abide by the law, but also to exercise the general's mind, but this is only a small use; It is a great use to be wide and public, to open up the wisdom of the people, and to let the people know to abide by the rules. ”
"Chess is quite a game, and if you are not a person of wisdom, you will not be able to understand its subtlety."
After Li Si listened, he was very surprised, he didn't expect the square-faced man to have such a high opinion of Fusu's two small games, especially chess, what he said was Go.
Go had not yet become China's national chess at that time, but it had a lot of origins after all, and it did have some unusual effects. Legend has it that Danzhu, the son of the sage Yao, was stupid, so Yao invented Go and taught his children to make him smarter, in the words of the old time and space, that is, playing Go can enhance people's intelligence and improve their IQ. In some countries, Go also has the same function as the war book, which is used to cultivate military talents.
"I can't imagine that Brother Wei values these things so much, but the prince can dedicate this thing to the king to promote the world, which is a great achievement, and the king may give you a knight because of this." This is considered to be the blessing of military chess and chess.
"That's great, I still have several more in the palace, and I'll give these two to the teacher." Fusu didn't take anything seriously about the knight, and in his opinion, he didn't need it.
"I'm afraid Childe will have to send two more pairs! Childe, do you know who this adult is? Li Si led the topic to the square-faced big man, and the words he said were a question, but there was no tone of question, as if he had already decided that Fusu knew who the big man was.
"This adult came to the teacher's mansion at this time, when he came to discuss the matter of the king, Huan, and Yang generals attacking Ye, I think it was a military officer, and the teacher called him 'Brother Wei', presumably it was Lord Wei Yi, the new captain of his father!" After speaking, he bowed deeply to this Wei Yi.
When Li Si first called him "Brother Wei", Fusu guessed that he should be Wei Yu, but he was deeply excited at the time, and later saw him raise the two small games to a height that he had never thought of, although he was a little puzzled about his judgment, but then he was replaced by the excitement of seeing this kind of god-level character.
In fact, it is not to blame Wei Yi and Li Si for raising military chess and chess to the height of opening people's wisdom, but in the case of lack of materials and scarce materials at that time, there were not many puzzle games such as military chess and chess, and the game of Go, which had been around for hundreds of years, was too advanced and difficult to popularize, and ordinary people did not have time to spend a few hours playing against each other, so they had to praise it when they saw that Fusu could come up with two puzzle games with complete rules and simple chess.
