Chapter 79 I've eaten it all!
Speaking of the caravan of Li family, after leaving from Qi County, he drank hungry and thirsty all the way, and stayed overnight in the morning. He quickly passed Chenliu, Zhongmu, Zhengzhou... and headed straight for Luoyang City!
Li Yan is so old that it is the first time he has gone far away. He is so happy that he just lie on the window of the carriage and greedily appreciates the scenery on the roadside. Everything is so fresh!
But as I looked, the freshness disappeared, and it was all replaced by shock!
"Brother Yu, look, why are there no bark on both sides of the road?"
"It's all taken away!"
"Take it away, are you burning it?"
"No, eat as a meal!"
"Ah, can you eat bark?"
"If you are very hungry, you can eat it. Let me tell you a little secret. Among all kinds of barks, the bark of poplar trees is bitter, the bark of toon trees is astringent, and the bark of willow trees is rough. Only the bark of elm is the best. It is soft and slippery, and it doesn't even have teeth stuffing!"
"Brother Yu, how do you know?"
"Haha, I've eaten all these barks!"
Li Yan was born in a family of eunuchs and lived a carefree life since childhood, just like a happy prince in a fairy tale world!
He could not imagine how crazy people could become when they were extremely hungry!
Brais, grass roots, tree bark, cotton wool... as long as it can be chewed, you can swallow it. Some victims' eyes turned red when hungry, and even ran to the wilderness and used a knife to scrape the rotten flesh from the dead bodies. Their shape was no different from that of wild animals.
In order to let this happy prince know the sufferings of the world, Xue Yu described his past experiences and experiences on the road to immigration in detail!
Li Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression dimmed, and he fell into pain...
"I heard from my father that because of the serious disaster, after the request of the cabinet, the emperor has issued an order to exempt taxes from several provinces in Northern Zhili, Shandong and Henan for one year!
He also allocated a large amount of money and grain, and ordered officials from all provinces, prefectures, prefectures, counties to do their best to provide disaster relief and relief to the people. Why did so many people starve to death?”
Not only Li Yan, many people probably don’t understand that the court has ordered disaster relief, so why has the disaster not improved at all?
"Brother Yan, the world's major events are complicated. If the next imperial edict can govern the world well, then all the monarchs of all dynasties will probably have wise monarchs!"
"Brother Yu, what do you mean?"
"Using history as a lesson, you can know the rise and fall, and think about the demise of the previous dynasty!"
...
The Ming Dynasty was obtained from the Yuan Dynasty.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yellow River broke its dam in the north and the naked land in the south for thousands of miles. In addition, the plague spread, the people starved to death, and countless people died of illness, and nine out of ten households were empty!
Emperor Shun of Yuan also issued an order: reduce taxes, allocate money and grain, and relieve the affected people!
Emperor Shun of Yuan, sitting in the palace, thought that this would solve the problem and that he could become a wise ruler and be supported by all the people of the world!
What was the result? The money and food that the court had finally allocated was deducted by corrupt officials at all levels, and even one percent of the money and food that was actually distributed to the victims was gone. However, the taxes that should have been reduced were several times, and more than ten times forced to collect them, causing the people to die, escape, die, and destroy their homes!
This caused the Red Turban Uprising. Millions of Red Turban Army, like a constant tide, destroyed the arrogant Yuan Empire!
Emperor Shun of Yuan fled north to Shangdu, died of illness in Yingchang, and was labeled as "the tyrant monarch, the king of the country that was destroyed" by history books!
From this we can see that there is a world of difference between doing something and doing it well!
Today's Ming Dynasty is re-taking the old path of the Yuan Dynasty. If the government does not refresh the government and reform and survive, let alone the doctrine of the mean king like Emperor Wanli, even if Zhu Chongba crawled out of the Xiaoling Mausoleum, he would probably not be able to turn the tide.
...
"The rise and fall of dynasties are determined. When a certain time comes, a great hero will naturally emerge and save the people of the world in danger. Brother Yan should not be troubled by this. The long road is long, how about a game of chess?"
"Okay, if you can't govern the country and pacify the world, then you can cultivate yourself and cultivate your character with chess!"
Seeing that Li Yan was in a low mood, Xue Yu proposed to play chess and enjoyed it. The former immediately agreed happily and took out a chessboard from the car!
Most of the Go boards are made of wooden, and they are made of black and white stones into chess pieces, totaling 361; while high-ranking and noble families like to make chess pieces with precious materials such as agate, jade, amber, and Ziying stone to show their wealth!
It is said that the most precious Go can be worth more than a thousand gold!
Li Yan's chessboard is very special. It is made of fragrant nanmu. It has a beautiful texture and a faint fragrance. It is more than an inch thick. It is divided into two layers, with a layer of magnet inlaid in the middle. Then it is made of cold iron into black spots and fine iron into white spots!
In this way, even on the bumpy carriage, you can play chess calmly without worrying about the chess piece falling or being offset!
It is said that there was a chess fanatic among the ancestors of the Li family. He not only played chess at home, but also played chess while riding a boat. So he thought hard and invented this magnet Go board, which was passed down from generation to generation and passed on to Li Yan!
"Brother Yu, guess the single or double?"
"I guess double!"
"Haha, three, you lose, I'll leave first!"
"Haha, please!"
According to the rule of guessing odd and even, Li Yan won, so he took the black ball first, started with three consecutive stars, took the corner first, then walked the edge, slowly surrounded the center of the abdomen, grabbed the field, seized the external momentum, and spread the two wings into pieces... The style of chess is steady and upright!
Li Yan was born in a famous family and was proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He was also the most talented in playing chess. He watched his father play chess at the age of four, and could still help with numbers next to him!
He officially studied Go at the age of six, and memorized many chess scores such as "Chess Classic", "Chess Tips", "Immortal Machine Armory" at the age of eight. He played all the same age without any opponents at the age of ten, and could beat adult chess players at the age of twelve. Now he is fourteen years old, and even his father Li Jingbai is willing to give up his defeat!
In Qi County, Li Yan has the reputation of "Little Chess Fairy"!
But today, the little chess fairy is a little unsatisfied because she met the chess king!
Xue Yu has never read chess scores, has never been a serious master, or has signed up for an interest class, but he can play Go and his level is quite high!
In field exploration, people often walk alone in the deep mountains, forests and the Gobi desert. Danger is second to the point, the key is loneliness!
In order to relieve loneliness, Xue Yu often does two things. One is to read novels. He likes the novels of a black master. He has first-class writing and wonderful plots. He is easily obsessed with it. He wishes he would give him all the recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, and then send him a big red envelope!
Unfortunately, this guy is a bit lazy, has a slow update speed, and sometimes it breaks the update, which makes people want to lock him in a small dark room and beat him every day with a small whip!
The second is to play chess. Because I had no partners, I downloaded a Go software and competed with the computer every day!
At first, he was random, but over time, he gradually figured out the tricks, his level continued to improve, he first entered the world, gradually became better, and achieved some success... Before traveling through time, Xue Yu had already reached the level of "Dugu Qiubai".
Because I haven’t learned Go formally, I have no chess style. I use some wild ways, and I do whatever I can to win!
At times, you are upright and fight with the opponent with real swords and guns!
Sometimes he sneaked and launched a sneak attack from behind!
Sometimes he plays a rogue and is pestering him and never letting go!
With such a strange chess style, Li Yan turned around in the lamp and sweated like rain. Before he could finish a hundred moves, he could no longer resist it and had to abandon his son and admit defeat!
"Brother Yu, did your chess technique trained by that master?"
"Training, I don't have a master, I'm just playing with it myself, and I learned it while playing!"
"Ah, Go is profound and profound, and it integrates the mysteries and philosophy of heaven, earth, man, and nature. How can you learn it without a teacher?"
Li Yan looked disbelief and believed that there must be a powerful Go master behind Xue Yu!
No, there are several Go masters, and the styles of chess are very different. They work together to train such a strange disciple, but they can't figure out the routine at all!
"Hehe, Brother Yan, I'll ask you, where did Go come from?"
"The Qin classic "Shiben" records, "Yao made Go, and his son Dan Zhu Shanzhi!"
"Very good, who taught Emperor Yao's chess skills?"
"Well... the gods are all the gods who know themselves without a teacher!"
"That's right. Emperor Yao can learn without a teacher. Why can't I do it?"
"Ko Yao is one of the Five Emperors, his kindness is as good as the heaven, his knowledge is as god, he is as sun, and he looks like clouds..."
"I am also loved by everyone, flowers bloom when they see flowers bloom when they see cars on the car. A pear blossom overwhelms the crabapple. It's also a beautiful and elegant boy, haha!"
...
Xue Yu naturally couldn't say that he was competing with computers and slowly learned to play Go. He could only talk nonsense and try his best to gild his face!
He looks as if I am talented and smart, I don’t learn skills, and I am the darling of God!
"Brother Yu has the gift of genius, I admire him very much!"
After some tricks, Li Yan believed it, his eyes full of admiration!
But, Li Yan has a soft outside and strong inside. He will not give up easily. He plays with Xue Yu again. As a result, he loses three times, and loses one by one, and loses one by one. Especially in the third game, a big dragon was slaughtered!
Just as he was cheering up and preparing for the fourth challenge, the convoy suddenly stopped and there was a noise in front of him!
"What happened?"
Chapter completed!
