My Brother Daqin No. 1 Dude

Chapter 220 The meaning of the thirteen vertical and horizontal paths
"It's not just blacksmiths that are out of control."

Zhang Liang took a white piece from the chess jar in front of Lu Buwei and put it between his index finger and ring finger.

pop~
There was a clear and loud falling sound.

Pressing Baizi with his ring finger, he said under the gaze of Lu Buwei's shrunken pupils: "There are also the people of Han."

There are countless blacksmith shops in South Korea, with a steady stream of pig iron injected every day.It is because of the many iron mines controlled by the Handi family, which rotate endlessly day and day.

Lu's Chamber of Commerce has already consumed all the pig iron left by the Han family, and now the blacksmith's pig iron is newly mined every day, and there is nothing left.

The pig iron hoarded by the Lu Chamber of Commerce was accumulated in South Korea for 200 years, which is an unimaginable astronomical figure.

Eating so much pig iron is enough to consume 20 years even for Qin, the war madman who consumes the most ordnance.

After discussing with the Handi family, they judged that Lu's Chamber of Commerce should be full soon, and it would not take too long to collect iron ten times.

The aristocratic Han family, devoured by greed, cast all the servants and subordinates in the iron ore mining army, which increased the pig iron mining rate by more than three times in a short period of time.

This is not enough.

I don't know when the Lu's Chamber of Commerce will stop buying the Handi family of pig iron.

In order to enjoy the bonus of ten times the price of iron, they offered a much higher commission than before to hire people to mine iron ore for them.

Compared with ten times the price of iron, this commission is nothing at all, and this transaction is not difficult to calculate.

The remuneration for iron mining has been greatly increased, directly defeating the Korean professional ecosystem.

Planting land for one month and selling meat for one month is not as good as others mining iron for two days. Of course, the people choose to mine iron.

Lu Buwei will not stop ten times the iron harvest, and there will never be an upper limit on the number of people employed by the Handi family.

Nowadays, all industries in Han are ruined, and almost all the people in Han are hired to mine iron. Farmers leave their farm tools, hunters leave their hunting tools, and everyone picks up hoes and goes to the iron mines to dig iron.

Even the brothels that never had a low period had no customers, and the business was so sluggish that those girls who used to sing and squat all wanted to try the iron mine.

"There is a severe drought in South Korea this year, and the people are relying on reserves from previous years to support them. If there is no such accident as Mr., they should be able to survive this year. Now they are burdened by Mr., and they are employed by a family to mine.

"The daily physical exertion is increasing, and the food consumption has increased sharply. The food reserves will definitely not allow them to survive this year. When they finish eating the food at home, they have to buy food.

"At that time, they will find that the price of food has increased tenfold in silence, and they can't afford it. People can't live without food for a day. Under the choice of life and death, there will be chaos in Han."

pop~

"color!"

Lu Buwei slapped his palms three times, looking at Zhang Liang in amazement with an incredulous expression on his face.

"The old man admires your majesty's vision even more now. He only met you once, so he dubbed you a 'wise man'. Knowing people is as good as knowing Ma Bole."

Zhang Liang's breathing rate fluctuated for a moment.

You don't praise me for being smart and intelligent, but you praise Ying Chengxun for his understanding of people?what do you think?

Lu Buwei put the tea soup in front of him, took a sip, suppressing his shock.

"This step of the old man was taken by you, and you should go next."

Swallowing the tea soup, he tapped the corner of the chessboard with his index finger, looked at Zhang Liang who had picked up a sunspot, and said with a light smile, "One more word, if this piece falls on the corner, there is no need to play any more. If you are intercepted by the old man, before you and I win the game in Handi, not a single grain of food from the outside world will arrive."

Zhang Liang was startled suddenly, and stared at Lu Buwei carefully, as if he wanted to judge whether Lu Buwei was bluffing or telling the truth.

half an hour.

"Believe it or not."

He said word by word.

"Then you can make a move and see if it will be eaten by the old man."

Lu Buwei said with a smile.

This game of chess has been played until now, and the game has not exceeded Zhang Liang's expectations.

It was so easy to see Zhang Liang making a mistake in judgment, and he was very happy.

"Sir, I'm not curious. Liang has never been in business, how did he know what he wants to do?"

"Not curious."

Lu Buwei shook his head.

"Either you have read "The History of Qi" and "Guanzi", or you have heard others say that Guanzi made Lu with clothes and Chu with deer."

If he couldn't figure out such a trivial matter, then he would be ashamed to mess around in the Chang'an Lord's Mansion.

Zhang Liangdao: "The custom of the people in the southern Liang of the state of Lu is to weave tidy clothes. Guan Zi asked Duke Huan of Qi to take the lead in wearing tidy clothes, and ordered Duke Huan of Qi to order all the ministers to wear tidy clothes uniformly, and also forbade the state of Qi to weave tidy clothes.

"Duke Huan of Qi did the same, and the ministers of the Qi State did the same. The people of the Qi State saw that the monarchs and ministers were all wearing Ti clothes, and they also wore Ti clothes. There is no Ti clothes in Qi. If you want to get them, you can only buy them from Lu Nanliang.

"Guanzi said to the merchants in the Southern Liang of Lu State: 'If you bring a thousand horses to Qi, I will reward you with three hundred gold. If you bring ten thousand horses, you will be rewarded with thirty gold for every ten horses.'"

"When Lord Feng of Nanliang of the State of Lu heard the news, he asked the people of Nanliang to stop farming and go to weaving rice. One year later, Guan Zi asked Duke Huan of Qi not to wear silk clothes, and sealed off the country of Lu to prevent food from entering Lu.

"As above and below, the king does not wear rice clothes, and the people of Qi do not wear them. Nanliang of Lu State hoarded hundreds of thousands of rice rice and could not sell it. Weaving rice rice for a year without farming, and a famine broke out in Nanliang.

"The Lord Feng of Nanliang in the State of Lu ordered the people to stop weaving and turn to farming, but food is a quick thing? The people of Liang in the State of Lu have to spend thousands of dollars per pot to buy grain.

"The price of food in Qi State is ten qian per pot, and the people of Nanliang abandoned Lu and joined Qi in order to survive. Nanliang became more and more withered. Seeing this, the king of Nanliang of Lu State submitted to Qi State."

Lu Buwei patiently listened to Zhang Liang's narration, and said: "There are very few people in the world who can read the words of merchants. You can know that Guan Zhong used clothes to control Lu, not bad."

Zhang Liangdao: "Chu is rich in deer. Guanzi spent a lot of money to buy deer from Chu. He asked the people of Chu to go to the mountains to buy deer with hunting gear. One year later, Chu had a lot of money and food shortages. Guanzi no longer bought deer. And ask all countries not to transport grain to Chu. Chu is very hungry, and he is a minister to Qi."

The black stone in his hand did not fall on the chessboard, and he stared at the latest white stone placed on the chessboard, which represented the famine in Han and the chaos among the people.

"Guanzi's two business wars were successful because Qi was a powerful country in the world. He wanted to blockade Lu and Chu, and no one in the world would dare not obey orders. Believe it or not, Mr. Lu's Chamber of Commerce can be broken like Qi. I am the bread of Korea."

I live in the land of the Four Wars, the wartime was not good, but at this time it couldn't be better. It is adjacent to Zhao, Wei, Qin, and Qi with well-developed transportation.

You, Lu Buwei, are not Duke Huan of Qi, and your Lu's Chamber of Commerce is not Qi, so how can you cut off our grain in Han.

Duke Huan of Qi, one of the Five Overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period, was also the king served by Guan Zhong.

When he was alive, Qi State was the most powerful country in the world.

Therefore, the Qi State should target the Lu State and the Chu State, and do not want other countries to transport food to Lu and Chu, and other countries dare not refuse.

Lu Buwei stroked his beard and said: "This old man is rich. I will cut off the grain that is transported to Han land halfway. If the grain from Han land is one stone and one gold, this old man will be ten gold for one stone. The world is not only powerful to have power, but also money." This principle is not in "Guanzi", but it is in "Lushi Chunqiu·Commercial Warfare". You return to Qin with me, and I will give you a copy, so you can study business warfare."

Zhang Liang's breathing rate was disrupted again, and he recovered after three breaths. He was a little bit shocked.

Such an unreasonable style of play, such a rogue style of play, the businessman is really despicable!

"Have you figured out where this one falls?" Lu Buwei urged softly.

It's useless for you to see through what the old man wants to do, you still can't break the situation.

"Watching Guanzi's two business battles taught Liang a truth."

Lu Buwei frowned.

He didn't feel negative emotions such as depression and loss from Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang was the same as when he first came in, taking it indifferently, holding the attitude that everything is under control.

At this time, he didn't like such Zhang Liang very much.

pop~
The sunspots landed on the top of the latest white stones, and landed in the central area of ​​the chessboard.

"All business wars end with food. If foreign aid is absent, they will seek internally. When Mr. Han entered Korea and collected iron for three times, the Zhang family began to hoard grain, and asked all the major families to hoard grain to prepare for Mr. Now the Han land The food in the hands of the aristocratic family is enough to wait for the next year's food to regenerate. This game of chess should be won by the boy."

It doesn't matter if the food can't be shipped from outside, there is food in Korea.

As long as there is sufficient food, there will be no chaos in Handi, and it will still be under the control of the Handi family.

Zhang Liang doesn't know how to do business wars, but he has grasped the core of business wars in this era - food.

Lu Buwei was in a daze, staring at Zhang Liang's latest sunspot without saying a word for a long time.

Zhang Liang didn't bother. For him, the end of this game is the real beginning.

He called Lu Buwei not simply to review the confrontation between the two in Han, but to win Lu Buwei to fight against Qin.

Lu Buwei launched the Qinian Palace Mutiny, and had already caused a rebellion against Qin, so naturally he should be a member of the rebellion against Qin.

"color."

Lu Buwei praised lightly.

"You are stronger than your eldest father Zhang Kaidi, and stronger than your father Zhang Ping. If you were the Xiangbang of the Qin Kingdom ten years ago, you have already lost this game, and you abandoned your son and surrendered."

There was no joy in Zhang Liang's eyebrows being praised, and his pretty face, which was already a little relaxed, tensed up again.

"Mr. implies that this game of chess is not over yet."

"good."

"Don't you think Mr. Liang still has a son to settle down?"

"Then let's try."

The two looked at each other, not giving in to each other.

Zhang Liang said in a deep voice: "Mr.'s last move, is it going to fall on the paper held by Liang?"

Lu Buwei frowned deeply, and said: "The old man is old, I don't have time to guess and guess with you, and explain clearly."

"Didn't Mr. Liang give all the paper on purpose? There are so many coincidences in this world."

Lu Buwei stared closely at Zhang Liang's eyes, and what he saw in them was firmness, certainty, certainty.

Not lying to me.

This kid really guessed it.

But how did you guess that?
Scientists are the most cautious and never let the handle slip.

Lu Buwei didn't say a word, the solemn look on his face was like a deep eye, unable to see the end.

"Although I don't know what the master intends to do, but the green paper left by the master that day, the boy has already burned it. Now, none of the paper used by the boy is green."

If it is not green paper, it is not completely made of moso bamboo according to the manufacturing plan left by scientists.

Zhang Liang asked the old craftsman to use the principle of making green paper to replace the objects and make paper with bark and other materials.

"I really don't know, or pretend I don't know." Lu Buwei said in a deep voice.

He no longer dared to underestimate the weak young man in front of him.

Zhang Liang sighed lightly.

"Guess some, but I'm not sure. Mister has some masters who imitate handwriting. Mister wants to imitate Zhang Liang's handwriting and write on green paper, and then pass it on to the hands of the big aristocratic families? At a critical moment, this can indeed determine everything in one fell swoop. "

In this world, how can there be such a young man whose wisdom is close to that of a demon...

"If the old man hadn't buried everything in his heart and never talked to others, the old man would definitely regard the insider as your partner. Yes, this is exactly what the old man thinks."

Zhang Liang smiled.

tuk tuk ~

Tapped the chessboard twice.

"Sir, is this chess still going to be played? Is there still a piece left?"

Lu Buwei lowered his head, Zhang Liang could only see the lower half of his face, the corners of his mouth curled up.

He smiled silently.

The corners of his mouth opened a little.

"Ha ha."

Laugh out loud.

The corners of the mouth are completely grinned.

"hahahahahahahahaha!"

Lu Buwei raised his head and laughed, like a great joy, as if it was Lu Buwei who won the chess today, not Zhang Liang who was sitting in front of him!
Zhang Liang didn't interrupt Lu Buwei's laughter, and looked at Lu Buwei without a smile as if he had gone mad, laughing wildly.

He didn't understand why Lu Buwei laughed.

Everything has not escaped his calculations.

Every step of Handi's confrontation was within his expectation.

Why, how can you, Lu Buwei, still laugh?
After a long time, Lu Buwei stopped laughing.

"Sir, please settle down." Zhang Liang said.

Lu Buwei said nothing, put his hand on the bottom of the chessboard and lifted it vigorously.

wow~
The black and white pieces were first scattered on the ground, bouncing and running around.

Bang~
The back of the chessboard fell to the ground, and there was a slightly dull sound.

Zhang Liang got up to dodge when the chessboard was lifted, he looked at Lu Buwei who overturned the chessboard.

"Sir, the chessboard can be lifted, and the Han land can be lifted?"

You can overturn the chessboard, but can you overturn the Han ground?
This chess game, you lost!
"Your chessboard is too small, and the piece that the old man wants to move cannot fall."

Lu Buwei got up slowly with a smile on his face.

"The game between the old man and the king is nineteen ways."

"Nineteen ways?"

Zhang Liang's face darkened, and he glanced at the chessboard with thirteen vertical and horizontal lines on the front.

"Liang has never heard of the Nineteen Ways of Chess."

During the Qin Dynasty, there were thirteen ways of Go.

As time goes by, the number of Go vertical and horizontal has been accumulating, fifteen, seventeen.

It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that Go appeared with nineteen vertical and horizontal paths, and it has continued to modern times.

According to calculations, the highest difficulty of Go should be 29, before 29, as the number of vertical and horizontal moves increases, the number of variables increases and the difficulty increases.

"Your Majesty invented this, so of course you have never played it before." As he spoke, Lu Buwei suddenly smiled even wider.

"When you enter the mansion, you can play with Junshang. Although he has created nineteen vertical and horizontal paths. But apart from Prince Daqin, the princesses can win chess games, and he has never won against the old man and others."

Zhang Liang didn't want to play chess, thirteen moves and nineteen moves were meaningless to him.

The crux of the problem is that Lu Buwei set up thirteen moves on the chessboard, and wanted to play nineteen moves against him, to show something.
