"This is probably the case. The Kong family's invitation will take a while before it can be delivered to you. Don't be impatient."

After Chen Zhi arrived at Zhongzheng Prefecture, Zuna took the initiative to talk about the invitation, which also made Chen Zhi understand why no one came to him to send the invitation.

"Some news spread slowly, especially from north to south," Zuna asked Chen Zhi to sit down, put people in tea, and then smiled, "There is still a barrier between the north and the south, and news from the north often does not pay attention to the south."

Chen Zhi nodded, not interrupting, but knew in his heart that this was actually a manifestation of the contradiction between the north and the south.

Over the past few days, he has visited Zuna many times, sometimes even for several days.

Sometimes he plays chess with Zuna, and sometimes he just talks. When he talks, Zuna plays chess and talks a lot.

As a Zhongzheng official, he seemed to have little concern. At first, he only introduced the situation of the township and gave the court a rank of the third rank of Chen Zhi. He vaguely revealed some of the reasons why the emperor had appreciated Chen Zhi and the fact that all the dukes in the court heard about Chen Zhi's name.

This also made Chen Zhi understand why the famous gold liquid that the hundreds of companies signed on to the box suddenly soared.

However, since the surge that day, the growth of the famous gold liquid in the lottery has returned to normal.

When the surge, Chen Zhi took the opportunity to draw a lottery. After a few days, the lottery box filled three boxes again, but the growth trend did not expand further. Seeing this, Chen Zhi did not draw lots again, but kept it in case of emergency needs.

He also judged from this that his name had not spread widely in the court, and should be controlled within a limited range of people who knew it, which was consistent with Zuna's narrative.

But on the other hand, seeing that Zuna could even know these news, Chen Zhi couldn't help but wonder whether Zuna's background was unique or his identity as Zhongzheng official was at work.

In fact, Zuna knew a lot. From the original third-rank reason, he would go off topic as he talked about it. Sometimes he would talk about the government affairs, but more of it was about the conflicts between aristocratic families.

Through Zuna's words, along with some of the collected information, Chen Zhi vaguely discovered that there were quite a few conflicts between the gentry of the north and the south. The origin was due to the inability of effective integration of the gentry of the south and the north after Xuanwu unified the world.

After the unification of the world, the nine-rank system was further strengthened. One of the main reasons was to accept the northern aristocratic families and give them the ninth-rank position according to their family background and origin, so as to prevent unnecessary resistance from occurring. When conquered aristocratic families knew that there would be no accident in their family, and they could continue to be officials and hold power, so they would naturally not have the idea of ​​living and dying with their homeland.

However, conflicts inevitably occurred. As the place where the new Han Dynasty started, the aristocratic families naturally had advantages and believed that they were superior to others, which inevitably intensified the contradictions.

"Listen to Zuna's recent narrative, we can roughly find that the dispute between the north and the south has already shown internal friction. Judging from Zhuge Yan's issue, there are probably other contradictions within the New Han Dynasty in addition to the dispute between the north and the south."

Summarizing the current situation, Chen Zhi shook his head silently in his heart.

On the other side, Zuna said a few words about the dispute between the Kong family and the North and the South, and then mentioned the trivial matters from the previous few days.

As he listened, Chen Zhi noticed the expression of the Zhongzheng official, understood a little, and smiled and said, "Zhongzheng asked me to come here, probably not just about this."

"Well," Zuna paused slightly and smiled, "It's true that I can't hide it. Well, I won't hide it anymore. Let's see these..." He waved his hand, asked Chen Zhi to take a few steps closer, and took out a stack of paper from the side.

Chen Zhi took a few steps closer and saw a chessboard drawing on the paper, chess dots, and it was a stack of chess notes.

"Zhongzheng, is this?" Chen Zhi had already guessed in his heart, but he still asked on the surface. He knew that the hobby of this Zu Zhongzheng was the black and white technique. When he came to visit him in the past, Zuna had played many chess games with Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi's chess skills can only be said to be middle and upper-middle, and he has also learned it in his previous life. With his outstanding memory, he is considered excellent, but compared with an old chess player like Zuna who has been immersed in for many years, it is a bit inferior.

But in Zuna's view, Chen Zhi is a rare opponent that can be fought, and has made rapid progress, which is why Chen Zhi can often visit. Otherwise, a Zhongzheng official would not be too close to the local gentry in order to avoid suspicion.

"These are several chess scores I have summarized, and I can't think of a way to crack them for the time being. Your chess skills have improved very quickly. You can take them back and take them to take a look. Maybe they can be solved." Zuna said, handing over the stack of chess scores.

Chen Zhi took it with the situation.

Chen Zhi's chess power has indeed been very fast. When he played against Zuna, he often felt a whole new look after playing again one day. Zuna felt a whole new look since he won more than he lost, but now he has won and lost. The key here is actually the Spring and Autumn Pillow.

The spring and autumn pillows allow Chen Zhi to spend a few more hours every day thinking, not only reading in his dreams, but also playing chess and thinking about the chess game in his dreams.

This board player talks about memory, strategies and experience, etc. Chen Zhi has the ability to remember everything he sees. His strategy has experienced war experience, vision and judgment are all the best choices, and he has the ability to make up for it. As for this experience, repeated deductions over seven or eight hours every night are enough to fill it.

With so many conveniences, the chess power has soared.

However, Chen Zhi knew very well that the chess scores Zuna not only wanted to comprehend themselves, but also had other purposes, so he asked: "Who do you want to show these chess scores to anyone?"

"I can't hide it from you." Zuna laughed, "I'm going to go to the Kong family invitation next, and I really want to go, because there will be a hundred schools of thought in Xingtan, and I can discuss the chess with people from various schools of thought. This time I invited the chess saints from other races. Unfortunately, I have the responsibility and it's hard to get over it, so I thought of sending a few children to go there, but this child is not my personal visit after all, and I can't understand the means of those chess masters, so..."

He showed a kind smile to Chen Zhi, pointed to the stack of chess scores, and said, "I have to worry about you and bring these chess scores over to the people over there."

"Zhongzheng is so sure, can I go there?" Chen Zhi was a little surprised. Logically speaking, such a thing must be taught to his own children and those close to him to be at ease.

Zuna smiled and said, "If you can't go, the Pengcheng family will be dissatisfied. Now that you have reached the third rank, you are a stolen person in Pengcheng County and your face here. Don't say that you have learned a talent. Even if you don't have talent and only have family background, the Kong family will send invitations. But it's a matter of time. As for this chess record, only you are suitable. My juniors in the family have limited achievements in the chess field and cannot match you. Only by taking it with you can remember the way those chess players responded."

He looked at Chen Zhi's chess record and said, "If you take it back, you can take it first. There are a few games of chess in it, which is made up of my hard work. Even if my people have not passed, it is enough for these few games of chess record to pass." There was a sense of arrogance in his words.

After listening to it, Chen Zhi looked around for a few more times, and planned to go back tonight and first understand it in his dream. In recent times, he developed a lot of interest in chess. After all, entertainment in ancient times was limited, and playing chess like this is the ideal choice.

Then the two of them said a few more words, and Chen Qian came over and had to report to Zuna if he had any official business. When Chen Zhi saw him, he greeted Chen Qian, and then said goodbye.

After leaving Zhongzheng Mansion, Chen Zhi glanced at the chess record in his hand, but he was thinking about the Xingtan discussion.

This theory of Taoism was not available in the previous life. At that time, the war was in chaos. Even if there were masters of Confucianism, most of them would be won over by the princes from all sides, or decorate their presence or protection, or they would be forced to be officials and could not allow them to wander around the world.

"However, even when it comes to peace, it is really surprising that there are people from other races coming. Is it really effective in the previous life's strategy? The connection between the Four Barbarians and the Central Plains has been strengthened? It is not very similar. Judging from the current understanding, the core strategies I left in my previous life have been almost distorted, or as the times develop, there are disconnections and unrealistic aspects. Maybe there is something inside the story of Xingtan this time."

Chen Zhi left some legacy strategies in his previous life to confine his surroundings. Although it is relatively rough, it combines many experiences from later generations. However, there are no laws that are difficult for generations in this world. Even if it is appropriate at the time, new problems will arise under the governance of new strategies over time.

What's more, Chen Zhi died in his previous life and his plan was left to others for implementation and supervision, so there are inevitably differences and distortions. Judging from the little information he has collected so far, many problems have been found.

As he thought about it, Chen Zhi wandered in the city.

Since I came to the county town, I naturally had to go to my house to take a look. Since the old house was repaired, Chen Zhi could count the number of times he went there with both hands.

But after he took a few steps, there were suddenly a few figures on the road ahead, blocking the way forward.

Chen Zhi stopped and looked at it intently. The preconceived man dressed in a monk. He was folding his hands together, smiling at Chen Zhi, with a peaceful expression.

Next to the monk, there was a handsome man in white, who was also smiling, and the eyes looked at Chen Zhi with a hint of curiosity.

The rest are all behind the two.

"This is Mr. Chen. I have heard of the name of the great name for a long time. I am a monk who knows the Dharma and is polite." The man dressed in the monk bowed slightly and greeted with a smile.

"Master Mingfa is here waiting for Chen?" Chen Zhi returned a greeting, "I don't have many temples in Pengcheng. I have never seen a master in the past. I don't know where it came from?"
