Chapter 198: Invention
Because of Ying Ning's injury, Chen Jianchen did not order the carriage to run at high speed, but slowly, like a huā garden, walking and stopping all the way, and at the end of the day, he walked more than 100 miles.
It's been a slow journey.
The journey is slow and relaxing, and it is hard to imagine a past life.
The interior of the carriage was newly furnished, and all the household items needed were added, and then the cost of hiring a carriage at a high price was calculated, and Chen Jianchen had three silver ingots.
However, now Chen Jianchen is not short of money, at the beginning in Suzhou, the emperor gave him a large amount of money, as many as 500 gold ingots, most of which are stored in the grand money house run by the imperial court, and when necessary, they can be taken out and used in various state branches across the country.
Sitting on a huge amount of money, like a rich man.
Gone are the days when you had money to eat an egg in half with your mother, and you had to weigh it carefully and again if you wanted to buy a new dress.
Solving the economic problems in one fell swoop made Chen Jianchen have no worries, and he didn't need to worry about making money. He is an open-minded person who is not informal. Besides, hiring a horse-drawn carriage for a long journey of several days will not be agreed to at all if the price is not several times the price.
The two ingots of silver ingots were released, and they waited for the carriage to be chartered. In fact, this amount is more than enough to buy a carriage, the problem is, they always need a coachman. There is a specialization in the industry, and there is no need to be involved in everything.
On the road, although the mood is relaxed, there is no rush to rush to the bō, but the journey is always a little lonely and boring, and you will feel tired of reading for a long time. So Chen Jianchen had an idea, and after consulting Ying Ning, he immediately took a piece of hardwood and asked the little fox to use his means to divide it into pieces.
Every piece. It's boxy and very even. Like a pocket-sized version of a brick.
Ying Ning didn't know what Childe was going to do, so she asked, "Childe, what's the use of you taking these small pieces of wood?"
Chen Jianchen said: "Be a chess piece." ”
"Chess pieces? What chess pieces, Go is round. ”
In the Tiantong Dynasty, there was a black-and-white game of Go, and the rules remained largely unchanged. However, Chen Jianchen did not touch on this, nor did he have the idea of immersing himself in this way, but instead wanted to make another kind of chess that he was familiar with and loved in his previous life.
Banner.
There are regular wooden blocks. Next, use a brush to write the words on one side of the block. It is divided into two kinds, one is the word with ink and black sè, and the other is the word with red lacquer and red sè. Some of the raw materials are prepared in the blood sandalwood book, and you can take it out, which is very convenient.
The words written on the wooden block are nothing more than "sapper, platoon commander, company commander" and the like.
Ying Ning has never been exposed to it. It's confusing. I don't understand what Childe is writing about, and I can't understand it.
It didn't take long for all fifty small pieces of wood to be written, twenty-five on each side of the black and red, and the number was equal. Then Chen Jianchen began to draw the chessboard again, the thin ones were highway lines, and the thick ones were railway lines, which were very distinct.
The little fox looked even more puzzled, and said in his heart: Could it be that this is the righteous spirit newly created by Childe? These line shapes are really a bit like the talismans drawn by Taoist priests.
——After the battle of Lanruo Temple. The dryad was killed, dust to dust, dust to dust, and dust to dust, leaving little loot behind. However, during this period, Chen Jianchen's "Sanli Zhenzhang" was repaired to a large increase, and he was gradually able to get rid of the dependence on pen and ink, and was able to write directly with his fingers.
this form. It is precisely the performance of being able to reach the realm of "meritorious service".
With the extra material xìng loot presumably, greatly improving the cultivation is even more gratifying, as well as commendable.
Therefore, when Ying Ning saw Chen Jianchen doing these new and strange things, he thought that he had a new righteous power.
Get the chess pieces right. After the chessboard was drawn, Chen Jianchen opened his mouth and said the rules to Ying Ning.
The little fox listened. Immediately aroused interest, she was already exquisite, Bing Xue was smart, and after listening to Chen Jianchen say it three times, she basically figured out the rules: "Tsk, son, how did you do this?"
is also a fox spirit, Jiāo Na loves to listen to all kinds of stories, but Ying Ning prefers to like to learn novel things, this military flag, right in her arms.
"Did you just know that Childe and I are extremely talented?"
Chen Jianchen puffed out his eyes very innocently, but he wanted to use such an attitude to hide his identity as a traverser, because with such an identity, no matter who could talk to him, it didn't make much sense to talk about it. ...,
Ying Ning pursed her lips and smiled, noncommittal.
Chen Jianchen shrugged: "Okay, in fact, this is what I dreamed of when I was dreaming...... If you say that, you'll believe it. ”
"I believe it. ”
The little fox replied crisply and decisively. Because she knew that Childe would not lie to her, and even if she could, it would definitely be kind.
Such unreserved trust made Chen Jianchen's heart warm......
At that moment, the two began to play chess, and when they flipped the chess, they covered the writing side, messed up the swing, set it up, and then turned it over one by one to fight against each other.
Compared with the advanced Go, military chess is undoubtedly an entry-level game, simple and clear, which is in line with the entertainment needs of Xiaobaihua.
In the Tiantong Dynasty, in addition to the grassroots people who were busy begging for life all day long, the Shilin class who had a lot of free time and money, their daily entertainment means and methods were also pitiful, nothing more than chanting poems, appreciating the huā and admiring the moon, and the most important and purest entertainment was to visit the Qinglou, drink huā wine, listen to songs and dance.
Other than that, there is basically nothing.
Chen Jianchen was a little uncomfortable with this, but he had been working hard for a well-off life before, and he didn't have much heart to play with the inventions and creations of his previous life. At the moment, the journey was boring, but the right timing and conditions were created, so the military chess was created.
Originally, he wanted to replace the "modernized" names on the military chess and replace them with expressions that are more in line with this shijie, such as "soldier general" or something. But on second thought, I gave up on the idea of innovation. Without it, there is no need for that.
First, it is impossible for Chen Jianchen to expect to make a fortune in this way, which is very unrealistic; second, he is just thinking about the way of internal entertainment, and does not want to deliberately publicize it.
When it comes to popular entertainment, he comes to mind: mahjong.
However, when it comes to huilai, these novel entertainment methods are still more suitable for small-scale dissemination, and it is difficult to make a profit through this. The real situation and environment are in front of you, if you make a big fuss, you may not be able to see it by a certain official, and you will directly buckle a big hat of "promoting strange skills and skillful, and playthings are demoralized".
That's a big sin of stealing a house and confiscating the army.
Therefore, in this regard, Chen Jianchen has always been conservative and cautious, but it is no problem to get some out of his spare time to play with his family.
Military chess is a product of the previous life, Chen Jianchen has experience and skills, and Ying Ning is just the first contact, where is his opponent, he was killed in three games in a row, and the military chess was taken away early.
"Come again!"
The little fox xìngzi is tenacious, and although he has lost three battles in a row without any suspense, he does not admit defeat. At the same time, she summed up her experience very carefully and pondered all kinds of skills, and sure enough, in the fourth and fifth sets, although she still lost, the situation was much better.
"Hey, Childe, I blew up your commander!"
Ying Ning suddenly clapped her palms happily and laughed, and her eyes were hard to hide with a smug look. Although she still lost this game without temper, she was able to blow up Chen Jianchen's commander with a bomb, but she had an unprecedented record, which was really satisfying.
Chen Jianchen smiled and gave the little fox a thumbs up to praise her for her rapid progress.
That night, they went to the inn and lived in the same room as always, Chen Jianchen insisted on reading and practicing calligraphy under the lamp, while Ying Ning was playing military chess alone.
Looking at her posture of holding her chin and meditating, there is a kind of beauty that knows xìng, and it dances into the painting under the illumination of the lights. Chen Jianchen's heart was beating inexplicably fast, and there were some signs of ape emotion, so he hurriedly began to write the word "Jing" on the white paper......
It's just that this old method seems to be less and less effective, headaches.
With military chess as an adjustment, the boredom of the journey has been dispelled a lot.
After a lot of actual training, Ying Ning's chess skills are advancing day by day, and on the third day, she finally won a game against Chen Jianchen, jumped up happily, and jumped up with joy, and jumped into Chen Jianchen's arms with some triumph and kissed him.
Chen Jianchen pretended to sigh: "Ying Ning, I knew that you would kiss me if you won a game, I should have let you win a long time ago." ”
Ying Ning's face turned crimson: "Hmph, Ying Ning doesn't need to be let by his son." ”
Chen Jianchen laughed.
The novel military chess, like a spice, adds a lot of fun. But the main thing, what should be done will not be wasted, by the fourth day, the injury suffered by Ying Ning is basically healed, at this time, there is no need to waste any more time, send the carriage away, the little fox began to do the work, summoned the repair of Huilai's Taoist book, and began to return to Jiangzhou in the form of flying.
The speed of flying is many times faster than that of the carriage, resting and recuperating during the day, flying at night, it only takes three days to return to Jiangzhou City, and the travel time is calculated on his fingers, which is a few points faster than Gu Xuezheng and his party who returned a few days ago.
However, after returning to Jiangzhou, I found that something was wrong, and I heard the news on the way, only to know that the recent heavy rain in Jiangzhou, the water of the Jianjiang River has soared, and several embankments have been in danger.
Hearing this news, Chen Jianchen suddenly remembered what the captain said to himself when he went down by boat that day, saying that "there is a lot of rain, and the Jianjiang River is chaotic" because there are rumors in ancient times that the Jianjiang River is a dragon, and the dragon will take off when it encounters a big flood, causing the river to flood, and the victims are like ants, and the disaster is not shallow......
Revealing this somewhat disturbing thought, Chen Jianchen took Ying Ning into the long-lost Jiangzhou City Mansion and walked quickly in the direction of home.
The door is the most concerned, but I don't know if my mother's sideburns have added a few strands of gray hair ......!.
