However, things turned out beyond everyone's expectations.

Everyone thought that Li Changan would start with a large business.

However, on the first day of July,

Just all over the world, when they are paying attention to the Wensheng list at the beginning of each month.

The responsible officials of the supply and marketing bureaus of each province took out a bunch of wooden boxes from the Sumeru treasure bag and started the first trial run of the supply and marketing division.

On this day,

Wang Tiangang walked out of the retreat, and Gu Weidao also put down the many affairs in his hands.

Liu Zhiyin and Liu Linglong were protected by Sanpin Grammar in the house, and Annan Yu was also told by Li Changan in advance not to go out recently.

On this day,

Li Changan did not go to the Yamen of the Supply and Marketing Division again, but got up early to sit in the courtyard and took out a thousand miles to transmit the note,

"Let's get started."

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a certain fuse had been ignited.

Ding'an, Qingtai, Yongqing, Pingyao, Wanchuan......

The officials of the Supply and Marketing Department who were in charge of the Nineteen Prefectures of the Great Jin Dynasty, after receiving Li Changan's order, quickly picked up the note of the Thousand Miles Transmission.

"Let's go."

Orders were issued layer by layer, all the way to the supply and marketing bureaus of each county.

During the five-day intensive training, everyone is familiar with all the rules of the supply and marketing department.

But no one knows what the so-called test run is going to test.

Only today do local supply and marketing bureaus know about the existence of chess.

From the capital city to the county seat, and then the county town assigned each county, Yunxia treasure ships flew over the Great Jin Dynasty, sending the secretly made chess to all parts of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The supply and marketing bureaus in all localities acted in accordance with the rules, quickly put the goods delivered to them on the shelves, and posted announcements.

At the same time, local bookstores also received a large number of chess pieces in wooden boxes from the supply and marketing bureaus.

Huge notices were spread out in the counties.

It only took one morning to cover seventy percent of the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty.

A large number of people came over curiously.

"What is this?"

"The Supply and Marketing Bureau has been established for so long, and it is finally open today, but what is in this wooden box?"

"The huge supply and marketing bureau only sells this one item of goods today?"

The official who came out of the Supply and Marketing Bureau smiled and said, "Hello folks, the things in this wooden box are the original chess pieces created by Zhongyongbo. ”

"Chess!?" The streets were full of exclamations, and the people gathered looked at each other, "I've never heard of this before." ”

"Is it different from today's chess?"

The official smiled and explained, "You can rest assured that this chess game is completely different from today's chess. ”

"There are explanations of how to play in the wooden box, and there will also be chess teachings in the local school to teach the way of chess."

……

These are all fixed words, and when the local supply and marketing bureaus received the chess delivered by the higher-level supply and marketing bureaus, they got these compiled words.

After memorizing, you can freely answer the people's questions.

"Today's supply and marketing bureau opened, ask the big guy for a lottery, chess only sells for a penny, after today, restore the original price of ten cents, and the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again."

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers exclaimed again,

"Just a penny? So cheap? ”

"Such a big wooden box is more than a penny, right? Even if you buy it and put it in it, it's worth it. ”

"Bring me two boxes."

"I want three boxes."

In line with the idea of not taking advantage of the sky, a large number of people are quite enthusiastic.

……

The official smiled and welcomed the people into the store.

As these people say, as long as you pay a penny, there is no difference between pure and free gifts.

In these years, I can't even buy a white-flour steamed bun for a penny, but I can buy such a delicate wooden box, which is indeed earned.

The officials and officials of the Supply and Marketing Bureau were also shocked when they learned of this price.

However, the above order cannot be changed, and those who change the price without authorization will be immediately deprived of their official positions and will never be hired again, and if the circumstances are serious, their homes will be raided.

This is a red line that no one should touch.

You must do what you are told.

None of them knew what chess was, but that didn't stop them from selling it according to their words.

Not only the supply and marketing bureau, but also the local bookstore is also the main place of sale.

To be able to get in touch with Uncle Zhongyong, as long as the name of Uncle Zhongyong is hung, other books in the bookstore can sell a few more copies.

In this way, it is simply a sure win.

……

In Beijing, the sale of chess was only released in the afternoon.

The news about chess was belatedly on the table of each family.

"Chess? What is it? A new kind of chess game? What chess equipment do children play with? ”

Gu Shihong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, looked at the exquisite wooden box on the table, and couldn't help frowning,

"This Li Changan, on the first day of the opening of the Supply and Marketing Division, he drummed up such a thing?"

"It's not that no one wants to create a new way of chess, but the way of chess seems simple, but in fact it is very profound.

"A penny...... I'm not afraid of losing my life. ”

Thinking about it, he opened the wooden box and took out the rules inside, and below it were round chess pieces carved in red and black, as well as a square piece of chess paper.

Gu Shihong felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, unfolded the explanation of the rules, quickly swept it, and then deduced it in his mind, and his face changed sharply.

He hurriedly opened the chess paper and put the chess pieces in the box on the table.

"Chu River Han Boundary...... Red-black confrontation...... The general is in the middle palace ......"

"This ...... This ......"

The look of horror in Gu Shihong's eyes suddenly surged, and he looked at the chessboard in front of him in disbelief.

He just followed the demonstration game on the rules and took a few simple steps, and found the unimaginable subtlety in it!

"Isn't this just a simple plaything? It's a different way of moving at all! ”

"Chess, chess...... Changeable, all-encompassing, moving the battlefield into this square inch, contains the way of using soldiers, the way of strategy! ”

"And the situation is ever-changing, and every step can be a different situation, in which the variables are extremely large and difficult to exhaust."

This means ...... This way of chess has great potential! ”

"It's not just a simple plaything!"

"Li Chang'an, Li Chang'an......"

Gu Shihong sat on the chair, looking at the chess game in front of him, his face changed again and again.

After a while, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Geng Qingsong, the secretary of the military department, took a wooden box and walked in directly.

"Ancient Lord ......"

As soon as he entered, he saw a chess game on the table.

Gu Shihong raised his head, the expression in his eyes was complicated, "Lord Geng, you are also aware of the problem in this chess?" ”

Geng Qingsong nodded with a heavy face, "This chess implies the way of soldiers, the way of strategy, and the way of battle formation...... Serious! ”

"As soon as I got my hands on it, it didn't feel right."

"If it really spreads, I'm afraid it will ...... I'm afraid ......"

At this, his voice trembled slightly.

The things involved in this are too important, even he has a feeling of soul trembling.

Then Li Changan, did he really embark on that road?

He worked hard to establish a good supply and marketing department, is it for today!?
