"Sir, I think the existence of other chess pieces is not completely consistent, but they can be related to the troops on the actual battlefield. Yanran, for example, does not understand what kind of cannon exist, and why is the middle of the chessboard called Qinling and Huaihe River?"
Ji Yanran was slightly confused and looked at Wang Li with beautiful eyes.
Listening to Ji Yanran's question, Wang Li thought that there were many people who played this chess now, but no one asked this question. The last time General Lian Po asked about the meaning of cannons, Wang Li looked at Fang Ming with him, and the others were just playing.
As for the Qinling Mountains and Huai Rivers? There was no Chu River and Han boundary in this era, and Wang Li directly cited this group of nouns.
Wang Li glanced at the chessboard: "The cannon is a large wooden siege equipment that can shoot stones below a thousand kilograms and other heavy objects away from 500 steps. This kind of equipment can not only siege the city, but also miniaturize it to destroy the enemy formation in formation battles."
"So that's the case, but this kind of cannon has never appeared before. I guess it was created by Mr. Ji Yanran's beautiful eyes were both clear and bright, full of curiosity and admiration, completely different from the lazy look he used to treat others.
Listening to Ji Yanran's question, Wang Li smiled but said nothing, but stood up, took out a long roll of paper from the cabinet behind, and then unfolded it in the doubts of Ji Yanran and the girls.
"Sir, what is this?" Wu Tingfang asked frowned at the picture on the paper. The other girls also reached over to look at it. Feng Fei suddenly saw a familiar name on the drawing, and then looked elsewhere in surprise: "Is this a map of the countries of Jiuzhou?"
As soon as the map was taken out, Ji Yanran looked at the names on the map in shock, as well as the mountains, rivers and rivers of different colors on the map, and the boundaries of various countries.
"I call this picture the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period." Wang Li smiled and pointed to a mountain range on the map from the west to the east to the Jianghuai area of Chu: "This mountain range is called Qinling, and this is the Huaihe River east of the Qinling Mountains."
"The Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River, which run across the east and west of Jiuzhou, divides Jiuzhou into two areas, with this boundary as the boundary. The climate and terrain of the north and south are completely different, which also leads to great differences between the south and the north and the north."
"This is the dividing line between the north and south of the Jiuzhou region, this chess. I am fighting between the north and the south."
"So that's how it is." Ji Yanran and the girls all realized it, and then her eyes fell on a piece of land in the south, which was the land of her ancestors.
After a little explanation, Wang Li put away the map and then played chess with this girl Ji Cai. Wu Tingfang watched from the side, waiting for the "good news". This time she found Wang Li but was looking for a place.
In about a minute, Jiayin came out. "General", Wang Li moved the cannons into the middle, and the two cannons were together. The general could not move left and right in the camp. Ji Yanran lost in surprise.
Wu Tingfang said that Ji Yanran was so powerful, but Wang Li Yi was only at the level of a beginner, she knew the rules, but lacked experience. She was just much better than Wu Tingfang's confused moves, and Wu Tingfang's level. That is, the level of a chess in the lower half of the chessboard, no wonder she was tortured to death by her.
As a result, when Ji Yanran met Wang Li today, Wang Li was careful not to cannon her, guarding the army. Wang Li then went over and moved another cannon to the boundary.
Ji Yanran was trying to step on the cannon standing in the central military position at this time, but Wang Li came up with a double cannon general. The game was closed, and he was really bullying the novice and won it with just a few moves as fast as possible.
"That's great, sir, win." Wu Tingfang smiled from the side, Ji Yanran frowned slightly, then she was solemn and said unconvincedly: "Come again."
The chessboard was reset. This time, Ji Yanran learned from Wang Li's previous game of the center of the game. Wang Li jumped to guard the horse and guarded the pawn. A new game began again. He had the first experience of being crushed to death by double cannons. Ji Yanran was always paying attention to this game, but two minutes later, he was crushed to death by Wang Li, one horse and one cart.
That's it. Ji Yanran was killed by Wang Li in various ways in the next five or six games, but after losing a lot, it became more difficult for Wang Li to win. By the seventh game, Wang Li could no longer easily win her like before.
"General!" Wang Li looked at Ji Yanran opposite him with a smile. Ji Yanran frowned slightly, and the soldiers blocked her. Wang Li moved the car and put it on the same road as hers. The bottom line cannon was set up again, but it was a draw, and it was about to remove her only car in the end.
"Come again." Ji Yanran didn't even look at it. She stopped struggling to death. She directly gave up and prepared to set up the market again.
At this time, the carriage slowed down slightly, and Wang Li raised his head and looked out the window: "Wu Zhuo, where have you been?"
"Sir Sili, you have arrived at the brick yard in the north of the city."
"Meet the Li Li." Wang Li's carriage had already been welcomed before it arrived.
"Get up." Wang Li got off the carriage, waved his hands with the welcomer first, then greeted the girls one by one, and then looked around at the surrounding situation.
This is in Handan City, not far from Wujia Castle to the north. When it was established, it was the address that Wang Li personally pointed out after designing the craftsmanship and related tools. There are rich and suitable clay resources here, which is the most suitable for making and transfer.
"Sir! How many bricks?" Wu Tingfang was shocked by the bricks being made on the flat ground in the field. He saw rows of bricks neatly tidy on the huge flat ground. Just looking at the scale is unprecedented.
There were also brick burning in this era, but due to various tools and other reasons, even the largest scale was not as large as that of Wang Li and the royal princes. Otherwise, there should be many bricks and stone buildings, rather than only the nobles who could use them in small quantities.
Like some other doctors, many of them are just a brick house or a wooden house. The brick house is not very beautiful, so use lime to paint the wall once.
Wang Li once saw a time travel novel that traveled through the past to create lime. In fact, lime was found in the pre-Qin period, but it was limited to technology, and its quality was slightly worse than modern times, and it was not so white.
Even if it is concrete, the West has begun to have simple things in this era.
In the east, the three-combined soil made of clay, fine sand and lime are widely used in the construction of important city walls and major buildings such as tombs. Many of the main bodies of the King of Zhao's palaces are mostly made of three-combined soil, which is very sturdy and durable. Later, the king of the Great Xia Kingdom, Helian Bobo, built Tongwan City, known as the city of steel, and also built a city with three-combined soil.
"This is just acres of bricks. To be able to be used, it has to be fired. Look there, the brick buildings piled up everywhere are bricks waiting to be fired."
Under Wang Li's guidance, everyone went to the center of the brick field. Seeing the extremely grand scene in summer, hundreds of people were working hard here.
This brick factory is not a brick factory in later generations. There is no soil shoveling machine, and there is no brick machine to make bricks.
How to make bricks? In the modern 1900s, when building a house in rural areas, bricks and stones were prepared. If it is appropriate, it is often opened at the doorstep. Once the house is built, there is a small pond at the doorstep.
At this time, the brick factory shoveled soil, mixed clay, and a canal specially brought in. Water can be released when needed. There are dozens of brick makers who have molds, plates and eyes, made bricks and handed them out to the people beside them to stack and dry. Dozens of people were constantly carrying firewood to pile them down the bricks.
"So many bricks, can you use them all? Sir, I mean so many people bought them at least?" Wu Tingfang looked at the whole scene and then at the brick buildings piled up high in the distance.
"Of course, we can use it. There are so many people in Handan. There are so many people in Zhao State and so many people in Jiuzhou. We can expand the scale by hundreds or thousands of times. As for whether to buy it or not, our bricks are relatively cheap. The official purchases of the country are needed by the nobles and nobles. We also use it ourselves, and a little rich merchant can afford it."
"Now, as long as they can afford it, it's enough." Wang Li looked at the serious Ji Caiwo who was staring at the whole scene, and continued: "We relied on various goods to collect the money of the entire Handan, especially the rich people, every day."
"It is not like storing the money in the cellar and rotting it. It is better not to collect it if you collect it."
"We want to invest again, and this brick yard is one of the investments. In addition, the recent projects in Handan include our and the young masters' new manor, a monument to comfort the spirit and a martyr's cemetery."
"I am also planning to build a musical theater, and improve the roads and water conservancy facilities in Handan. If the money is enough, I will repay the society, build nursing homes and orphanages, adopt those who are helpless and helpless, and cultivate orphans who have lost their parents due to war. When they grow up, they can create more value for us and the entire society."
"Our investment can support hundreds of people in a brick yard, allowing them to earn more money than they used to do. In the end, we still have to go around and start more factories and projects to support more people."
"We spend money, but we can earn more money, and then invest in creating more value and feeding more people. In the future, those who work for us will be much richer than in the past, more people will work for us, more people will be richer, and all people in the whole society will be richer."
"Making money at home will only rust and mold, but it will keep circulating, and use various means to make it operate reasonably and create wealth endlessly. I think in the future decades, people in Handan will be able to live in brick and tile houses."
"In the land of Jiuzhou, people are busy every day, and there is actually not much value created, and everything is not circulated just because the value created cannot be circulated."
"Maybe it is consumed while creating, or the value created is enough for you to use, and it is buried in the cellars of the ministers and officials, rotting and moldy, and not being able to move, you cannot invest in re-creation. If you encounter natural disasters and wars, you will not be able to do so."
"So, my tables, chairs, furniture and luxury goods are sold to rich people, and take their money out of the cellar to avoid rotting."
"More people will naturally join in when we see us making money and creating infinite value. If we do this, the whole world will be alive, instead of living day after day as in the past, people will numbly live day after day, and maybe thousands of years later."
"This brick factory is just a microcosm of my planning industry. Look at them, are their faces numb? None of them is energetic, full of longing for the future, and yearning for happiness."
"With this hope, they will create more carefully and exert unprecedented power. If the entire Zhao State is like them, it only takes decades for Yanran to realize most of the benefits in the world."
Wang Li said with great emotion. In the early 1980s, the gap between China's vast rural areas and the rural areas of this era was not big. In other words, in the feudal era for thousands of years, the development of the entire social was almost stopped in place if it was a large unit. The value created by modern society every day can exceed that of ancient times for thousands of years.
Wang Li finished speaking with emotion, and finally concluded to Ji Yanran: "Yanran, the first lecture I talked about last lecture was creation, and the second lecture in the future was value."
"Any creation has value, and what reflects value is currency and coins. What I am talking about here today is a simple and basic value operation of value, using value as leverage to mobilize the power of creation."
