The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 68 The National Essence of Mahjong
"Lang Jun, I also want to go in and play."

Seeing the joy of the children going in to play, Liu Yiyi on the side was also eager to give it a try. Li An smiled: "You can go if you want, but please pay attention to safety and don't touch the children."

"Hey slave, I know." After saying that, Liu Yiyi happily entered the amusement city.

Just after Liu Yiyi entered, Liu Xiatian came over with a smile: "Langjun is so kind to Yiyi. Thank you, Langjun. If you hadn't said hello to Chang'an County, Yiyi might have been sent to the police station." Officially married."

"Yiyi's life is hard, I will take more care of it. The official media is also speechless. He actually found a cripple for Yiyi to marry. If it were normal, I would not stop it. It is really annoying." Li An shook his head slightly, you know How old is Liu Yiyi? A few days ago, the official media in Chang'an County actually found a 40-year-old widowed lame man for Liu Yiyi, and also forced him to come to Lijia Village to arrest someone for marriage. Li An took out the Nine Dragon Jade Pendant and found it. The matter was settled after a visit from the Chang'an County Magistrate.

Because of this, Li An treated Liu Yiyi better, because Li An felt that this little girl's life was still very hard, and she became a widow without getting married, and she was still a widow.Where to reason.

"That's it, that's it!" Liu Xiatian smiled meaningfully and said: "Lang Jun, during this period of time, our rock candy in Lijiacun has been earning 230 yuan a day. It was originally very good, but recently we have But I found that someone has started snooping around us. I am worried that there will be trouble, so I hope Mr. Lang can get us some weapons."

"Someone is spying. Do you know who it is?" Li An asked warily.

"I don't know. These people are very hidden and always far away. As soon as our people get close, they will leave quickly. So I think these people should be people from various aristocratic families who want to spy on our rock candy making method." , I have now asked everyone who knows the rock candy method not to go out, and even if they go out, they must go in groups of three.

If you encounter danger, there is hope of escape, so I hope you, Lang Jun, can ask His Highness King Jin for some more weapons. Our weapons are obviously insufficient. We want more bows and arrows, the more the better. "

"Okay!" Li An nodded: "I will talk to Zhimu about this when he comes over next time. I think he won't refuse, but during this period of time, we must be careful, by the way. Liu Uncle, you are soldiers, that is to say, you all have comrades who have fought together in the past. So can you call your comrades over? If they are willing to come over, man, I can give each of them six guans. , I can give a woman four strings to one person, and in the future I can also build a school for their children so that they can go to school for free.

I wonder if they are willing to come here under such conditions? "

"Hey, I'm not willing to come here under this condition, of course I'm willing to come here, and it's not easy for us comrades-in-arms. If Mr. Lang needs people, we can go back and recruit some people." Liu Xiatian Said a little excitedly.

"That's great. I'll leave this matter to you, Uncle Liu, haha..." After saying that, Li An said a little embarrassedly: "Uncle Liu, as a husband, I have to rely on you for everything. Really. I'm sorry, but you must bear with it."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Lang? When Mr. Lang leaves the matter to me, he believes in me and affirms me. It's too late for Liu to be happy, so what else can he do?" Liu Xiatian waved his hands repeatedly.

These words made Li An smile: "Uncle Liu will be responsible for more things from now on. By the way, have you started making the furniture sketches and mahjongs I gave you?"

"It's already started!" Liu Xiatian quickly replied: "According to Lang Jun's wishes, I have gathered all the carpenters in our village, a total of 20 people. Each person will receive five guan per month and three meals a day, with meat and rice." vegetable.

These people work very hard, but there is something wrong with our wood! "

"What's wrong with the wood?" Li An asked with a slight frown.

"The wood in Chang'an is basically in the hands of Duke Lu and the Cui family. Only a small amount flows in from outside. Some of our wood, you specifically told us, must be huanghuali and mahogany. This huanghuali and mahogany wood is sold in the market outside. There is very little inflow, almost none, and we have to go to the Cui family or Lu Guogong to get the most amount of wood. However, this may be a little difficult, because the Lu Guogong family and the Cui family are also in the furniture business."

"So that's it!" Li An nodded. He had never thought that Cheng Yaojin and the Cui family actually had a monopoly on Chang'an's lumber and even engaged in furniture business. However, Li An didn't need such good lumber for the time being. , Li An should build some furniture for himself now, such as beds, desks, chairs, rocking chairs, etc. The main reason is that the furniture of the Tang Dynasty is really ugly. As for the low table and the kneeling seat, Li An doesn't like it very much. Wrong yourself.

Outside, Li An had to follow the local customs, but when he returned home, Li An didn't want to wrong himself, so Li An wanted to make some furniture. Here, Li An also wanted to give some to Li Zhi and Li Mingda. If they were in the palace If Zhongneng likes it, then this business can also be done. If it can make more money, Li An will definitely do it.

If the palace rejects and doesn’t like these furniture, Li An will use them himself. The furniture is all old Ming Dynasty furniture. Li An personally likes Ming Dynasty furniture, so he knows the design of Ming Dynasty furniture. This time, the main production is the bed. Desks, official hat chairs and rocking chairs. When I have time in the future, I will make some other items, such as bookcases, coffee tables, incense tables, etc.

"How about the mahjong production?" Li An asked.

"Oh, more than ten pairs of mahjong have been made. If you need it, I can help you get it." Liuxiatian replied.

"Okay!" Li An nodded with a smile. Li An remembered this mahjong when he was instructing him to make building blocks. , You can’t go to sleep as soon as it gets dark, it’s too deadly.

Li Duoduo, who is tired from playing during the day, just goes to bed at night, but Li An can't do that.

Master Confucius once said: "If you are full all day long and have no intention of using it, how can it be that there is no one who can play games? For this reason, you are especially virtuous!"

It means, "It's impossible to do nothing after eating all day long! Isn't there a game of throwing and picking? It's better to work than to be idle."

Haha Confucius always played games when he was bored, of course Ang Lee also wanted to play. The popular games in the Tang Dynasty were Azalea and Shuanglu. The so-called Apocalypse is similar to the current flying chess. It is made of pineapple, so it is called Aipu.

There are five dice in each group of Aipu, so it is also called Wumu, or the play of Wumu.

Among the five dices of Aipu, three dices have no words, and two dices have words. The white side has "pheasant" written on it, and the black side has "calf" written on it. There is a cup to catch several dices for the game.

There are also some levels set up in the layout of the chessboard. Each player holds six horses. The rule of the game is that the first six horses in hand to reach the end is the winner.

Shuanglu determines winning or losing based on the movement of chess pieces and the number of electrons rolled out by the dice. The first player to move all their chess pieces off the chessboard can win.

Achieving victory is not only about luck in throwing dice, but more importantly, you need to have a certain game strategy. Every time you throw the dice, you must strategically plan the route of the chess pieces and choose the best move.

The models were all fixed, and Ang Lee was not very interested, so Ang Lee directly invented Mahjong. Of course, there are many ways to gamble in Datang now, and Ang Lee did not promote the gambling culture in Datang.
