Zhenguan three years.
It was late autumn, and the air was crisp.
Fifty miles south of Chang 'an City!
In a farm with two to three hundred people, the farmers were busy harvesting. In this farm, there was a thatched cottage and a private school.
Han Qiu was packing up her brush, ink, paper, and inkstone in the thatched cottage.
It had been decades since he had transmigrated to this world. Han Qiu did not remember clearly whether it had been forty years, fifty years, or sixty years. However, in the last thirty years, Han Qiu had calmed down.
In the last thirty years, he traveled the world and avoided disaster in the mountains. He witnessed the rise of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and their magnificent momentum.
Before he transmigrated, he was clearly a good young man from the 21st world. In the end, he came to the Sui and Tang Dynasties in a daze, completed the system mission, and received many system rewards.
In the last thirty years, Han Qiu had also encountered a few youths with good potential. He taught them military books, strategies, tactics, and the divine arts of riding a horse.
These youths were not disciples that Han Qiu took in at the same time. Perhaps Han Qiu only took in one disciple every two or three years and taught him for a year and a half before chasing him out of the mountain. Han Qiu then went to other places to travel.
After these disciples left the mountain, Han Qiu told them not to mention their master's name to others after leaving the mountain, and not to look for him.
These disciples remembered their master's orders.
……
After the disciples came out of the mountains, they relied on the skills taught by their teachers to display their magical powers.
Some disciples commanded thousands of soldiers and horses, invincible in every battle, and were known as the War Gods of the Great Tang.
Some disciples were in charge of the royal court, strategizing and deciding the outcome.
Some disciples established their own sects and established their own grandmasters.
There were also disciples who died on the battlefield.
There were also disciples who were in pain and died suddenly after achieving success.
Life was full of ups and downs, and the world was unpredictable.
……
Han Qiu did not live in seclusion in a Taoist temple. He traveled the world and lived for three to five years wherever he went.
A few years ago, he had been to Youzhou and lived in Yangzhou for a few years. In the second year of Zhenguan, he came to Yongzhou and lived in Han Village, 50 miles south of Chang 'an.
On the bank of the Wei River, a bamboo pole, a pot of old wine, wearing a coir raincoat, caught a few silver carp, very uncomfortable.
……
"Uncle Han, my mother stewed a big goose. My mother asked me to bring the goose breast meat to Uncle Han…"
Han Qiu had just finished cleaning up her brush and ink when the second boy who had isolated Granny Wang brought over a pot of hot goose meat. There was a layer of yellow and orange butter under the fat goose meat, and the fragrance of the meat assailed her nose.
"It smells so good." After Han Qiu praised him, she tore off a large piece of fat goose meat and placed it in the second kid's hand."Go back and tell your father to come to my place for a drink tonight. I'm going to catch two fat big silver carp.”
"Hey!"
The second kid ate the goose meat in big mouthfuls and ran out with oil flowing from his mouth.
Although Han Qiu had only been in the Han Residence for a year and a half, he was revered by all the farmers in the Han Residence. It was not only because Han Qiu was literate, but also because Han Qiu had taught them how to farm and given them some strange seeds. The grain they grew could reach twenty dan per mu.
Furthermore, this was the yield of one season. After Han Qiu taught them the method of planting three seasons, they had a bumper harvest!
Before Han Qiu came to the Han Family Residence, it was already considered a high yield if the farmers of the Han Family Residence could grow five dan of grain per mu…
But now, he could get twenty dans in one season. After three seasons, he could get more than forty dans…
In the eyes of the Han Family's farmers, Han Qiu was simply a god-like figure.
……
"Xuan Ling, what kind of land is this? Why do I feel like I've come to a strange place?”
On the official road outside the Han Family Residence, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were patrolling the Wei River. They were returning to Chang 'an in civilian clothes. When they passed by the Han Family Residence, they were surprised to see that there were two big sticks hanging on the spears, which looked very sturdy.
"What is this?"
Li Shiming stopped and walked to the field to break off a big stick. He removed the fruit's outer layer and yellow orange grains grew on the stick...
Fang Xuanling stepped forward and curiously broke off a big stick. After removing his coat, he placed it in front of his nose and smelled it. The fragrance assailed his nostrils.
"Your Majesty, this species is planted in the farmland on such a large scale. It should be some kind of crop.”After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Li Shimin immediately summoned the Minister of Revenue and handed the crops to him for him to identify.
The Minister of Revenue examined the big stick in his hand. The unknown yellow particles were arranged tightly.
After a while, the Minister of Revenue reported,""Your Majesty, this humble subject has never seen such a crop before, but this humble subject ate one just now. It was fragrant and refreshing, and it was very delicious. This humble subject can conclude that this must be some kind of crop.”
Li Shi Min held the big stick in his hand. It weighed at least one jin.
"If this was a crop, the yield would be shocking!”
He looked at the large area of sticks planted and was surprised and excited.
Li Shimin turned to the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Works and ordered,"All of you should return to Chang 'an. Xuan Ling and I still have some things to do!”
"Yes!"
……
After the Ministers of Works and Revenue left, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling led a group of guards to the Han Residence.
After Han Qiu packed up her brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, she carried her fishing rod and bamboo basket and went fishing in the Wei River not far from the Han Residence.
There were two to three hundred households in the Han Residence. After Li Shimin entered the Han Residence, he was amazed. He was surprised to find that the households in the Li Residence were actually very rich. Every household had a grain store in their courtyard…
"This…this…"
Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up.
In the third year of Zhenguan, the Tang Empire had just woken up from the war against the Turks. It was also the year of the Great Wilderness. The people suffered a lot. Because of this, Li Shimin asked the Ministry of Works to build the Wei River waterway to guide the water of the Wei River into Chang 'an for the people to irrigate...
But…
However, this Han Residence actually had so much food. It was unbelievable!
Li Shi Min's footsteps became urgent. He looked at six or seven households in the Han Family Residence and was surprised to find that these six or seven households were full of grain.
Fang Xuanling was also amazed. He realized that the Han Family Residence's farmers were extremely wealthy, far richer than the farmers in other places. Something unusual must have happened in the Han Family Residence!
That was for sure!
……
Li Shi Min was surprised to hear the noise of children when the Han Family was rich in food. He turned his head to look at the source of the noise and found a group of young children gathered together, making a lot of noise.
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling exchanged a glance and walked toward the pagoda tree where the children were gathered…
The naughty child was still making noise.
"All is fair in war, do you understand?"
"There's no such thing as regret when playing chess?"
The two children argued endlessly under the shade of the tree. Li Er and Fang Xuanling followed the sound and walked over.
When they approached to take a look, the two of them had never seen the chess pieces played by the two children.
Different from Go and Xiangqi, each piece had a commander, general, chiliarch, centurion, shilang, sergeant, soldier…
Among them, soldiers could be divided into cunning soldiers, knights, archers, infantry, and so on.
On the small chessboard, the cunning warriors could set up ambushes, the knights could charge, and the archers could kill.
If a small chess piece encounters a big chess piece, it will be killed. If the same chess piece encounters a mutual destruction, any chess piece can kill the commander.
When the Bizarro meets other chess pieces, they can die together.
The way to win was to kill all the movable chess pieces of the opponent or kill the commander of the opponent.
Fang Xuanling looked at the chessboard with interest and asked,""Interesting. What kind of chess is this? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"This is the military chess that Uncle Han taught us!”
"Uncle Han? Military chess?"
Fang Xuanling muttered softly, a barely noticeable expression flashing across his face.
"What's wrong? Are you interested?" Li Er muttered softly.
Fang Xuanling's expression changed slightly. He cupped his hands and said,""Master, I wonder if you can allow me to play a game with them?”
" Huh?!"
Li Er's expression changed slightly. Although there was a trace of mystery in this chessboard, it was just a pastime for the villagers.
What he was most concerned about was what was going on with the crops.
However, when he saw Fang Xuanling's expectant expression, he nodded slightly and said,""Pay attention to the time."
"Yes."
Fang Xuanling sat on the child's seat on the left and said with a smile,""Doll, let's play a game.”
"Anything is fine. Besides Uncle Han, I'm not afraid of anyone.”
"You, on the other hand, can't learn from Dopey's Regret!”
The child's face was filled with unprecedented confidence.
Fang Xuanling smiled and began to fiddle with the chess pieces on the chessboard.
"This…this is?"
Li Eryi stared in shock at Fang Xuanling's chessboard. This was clearly the formation the Turks had used against the Great Tang!
Could it be that he still expected a child who was not even ten years old to be able to break the array?!
The child looked at the chessboard and was stunned at first, then he started playing.
However, as time passed, Li Er, who was originally not interested in chess, was gradually attracted by the children's chess skills.
In other words, rather than calling it a chess skill, it would be better to call it a chess game!
"I didn't expect that this small chessboard could really be the same as the battlefield!”
"No, I can't! To be precise, the performance on the chessboard was more intuitive!”
Li Er was secretly shocked, and his gaze could not move away from it for a moment!
This…this was clearly the Turks 'tactic against the Great Tang!
Although Fang Xuanling indirectly telling the child about his trip abroad would not have any effect on him.
However! What shocked Li Er the most was that the child was really invincible!
"This! Is this really something a child can do?"
Li Er sized up the child from head to toe, and his heart was in turmoil.
On the chessboard, Fang Xuanling used cavalry as the foundation of killing and killing, with archers as the auxiliary.
For the children, the infantrymen would take the lead, while the bizarre soldiers and archers would take turns.
On the small chessboard, there was no sense of relaxation.
There was only a confrontation between two armies, a battle of ten thousand people erupting!
On the stone seat, Fang Xuanling frowned deeply and sweat poured down his face.
Beside the chess board, Li Er clenched his fists tightly, his nails deeply embedded in his flesh, completely unaware...
At this moment, Li Er was secretly hoping that the child would win!
Because this represented the future of the Great Tang…
At this moment, Fang Xuanling had the advantage and was killing everyone. It seemed like everything was set in stone.
Victory was only a matter of time.
In three quarters, both sides were locked in a stalemate.
After half an incense stick of time, the child turned from defense to attack, and Fang Xuanling was faintly defeated.
However! The chess piece in the child's hand could no longer continue to attack.
"Victory for peace?" Fang Xuanling muttered softly, unable to contain the surprise in his heart.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Li Er's brows as he shook his head silently.
"No, no. There's no reason to draw with an uncle who has never played military chess before!”
"Let's do it again!"
The child refused to admit defeat and wanted to take back the chess piece, ready to play another game.
On the other hand, Li Er quickly stepped forward and held the child's small hand.
"Doll, let me ask you something. If you can answer me, this is yours!”
After saying that! Li Er took out some silver pieces and placed them on the chessboard.
"Really?" The child had never seen so much money at such a young age. Even his parents had never seen it before.
"Of course, but you have to answer truthfully.”
Li Er simply placed the silver in the child's hand to show his sincerity.
"You, you can ask!"
"Where does Uncle Han live?"
"There, in that house…"
A child stood up and pointed at the house where Han Qiu lived.
Li Er and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, as if they could read each other's thoughts from their eyes.
To be able to casually teach a child, how could he be an ordinary person?
Such a delicate formation was actually displayed on a small chessboard.
This person must be extraordinary. He must be an expert who was familiar with the art of war!
Such a person had only been discovered by him now!
Thinking of this, Li Er could not help but beat his chest and stamp his feet in regret.
"If this person cannot serve the Great Tang, it will be my loss and the loss of the people of the world!”
"Old Fang, let's go!"
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling walked towards the thatched hut, ordering the plainclothes guards not to follow them.
