Liu Hongye's skills were obviously not as good as Yuchi Huan. He was helped up by Xu Qilin and sucked the air conditioner and rubbed his butt. He pointed to the boy in thick clothes and said, "This guy is playing chess and cheating, and he is still daring to fight with him."

"You are just cheating." The young man stared at his eyes and retorted in a foreign accent: "I don't regret it. If you don't even understand this rule, why are you playing chess?"

"Someone is a fader." Liu Hongye argued in anti-verbal voice: "How can I make a decision if my hand is not irritated?"

"Fasts are cheating." The boy was not willing to be outdone and shouted: "You push and push, as long as you don't leave your hands, you're not finished pushing and pushing?"

"There is no requirement to play chess and no pushing is allowed, and no pushing is used to waste time."

"Working with chess is about taking root, is it about taking root?"

…………………

Xu Qilin understood that this was a bloody case caused by playing Go. One was a fader and the other was not allowed. When there was no exact rule at that time, it was really hard to say who was right and who was wrong.

Alas, go up and hit it a few times first. Otherwise, I can’t stand this face!

Xu Qilin felt that he had been exercising for such a long time and did not need to summon the soul to get on his body. He took two steps forward and was about to start fighting after posing.

But before he could do it, Xu Qilin was interrupted by an unexpected reminder.

A stingy boy crawled on the ground, looking seven or eight years old, was picking up chess pieces scattered on the ground from the wooden box. Just in front of Xu Qilin's feet, he raised his face and said to him, "Brother, you are stepping on my chess pieces."

Hey, this kid and that kid are in the same group?! Xu Qilin didn't pay attention just now, just staring at the boy who is quite capable of fighting.

But the group of people can't kick it up. It's a cute little brother, he's quite polite, and he knows he's called brother!

Xu Qilin hurriedly moved away, and the brat picked up the chess piece and crawled elsewhere.

This is all of a sudden, just like you can’t find glasses when you fight. The momentum is gone, and you have to re-boosting it.

Xu Qilin glared and inhaled again, and sighed helplessly when he was about to take action again.

Xiao Zhao actually ran up, picked up chess pieces on the ground, and gave them to the stinky brat.

This - little sister, you are not in the same way as me! I didn’t see my brother, I was lucky to use my ultimate move, but it was over again after disturbing me.

At this moment, amid the chaos, several Jinwu Guards arrived. Their main responsibility was to maintain public order, which was equivalent to the role of urban management and public security.

Xu Qilin frowned slightly, walked to Liu Hongye, and whispered: "Let's turn big things into small things for now, and small things into small things. The opponent is a monk again, so it's not good for anyone to make trouble in the yamen."

Liu Hongye nodded. As the censor, his father Liu Wei not only specializes in finding fault with others, but also has extremely strict family tutoring. If his father knows about fighting and making trouble in the yamen, he will never be able to ask for anything.

Yuchi Huan was still a little unwilling to give up, but he made a name for his family and asked the Jinwu Guard to ask for questions. It was hard to say in front of so many onlookers, and he was very bullying.

Gritting his teeth, Yuchi Huan pointed at the young Taoist priest and said, "I will let you go today. Do you dare to tell me your name and where you are? I will definitely go and ask for advice again."

"Xuandu Temple, Liu Zhenghe, are you afraid you won't come!" The young Taoist priest stared at him and replied cowardly.

"That-" the priest--" raised his face from the ground and said with a smile: "I'm called Pan Daoxin. If you want to play chess, come to me. Yes, don't lift the chessboard or throw the chess pieces again."

Seeing the cute appearance of the little Taoist priest, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Yuchi Huan stared at the little Taoist priest and rolled his eyes helplessly, and he had nowhere to vent his anger.

If this cute baby makes jokes, even if he didn't mean it, but was just in his original intention, it would also make the conflict disappear invisible.

Xu Qilin smiled bitterly and shook his head, stepped forward and briefly explained to Jinwuwei that it was the small dispute that occurred due to playing chess. Now it has been settled, so there is no need to bother them.

When Jinwuwei looked at the outfits of Xu Qilin and others, he looked at the Taoist priests and thought it was a good deal. If it was a big deal, who would know what kind of background background would be triggered?

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Xu Qilin hurriedly brought Liu Hongye, Yuchi Huan, and called Xiao Zhao and others to go to the tile house to watch the show together.

"Brother Lin, we have to go to Xuandu Temple to find the venue." Yuchi Huan moved his arms and said angrily: "I underestimated the enemy today. If I really fight, I may not lose to that foreigner."

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "If you want to fight, let's find out first. I think these two Taoist priests are not simple. If you go to Xuandu Temple to find a place, it would be inappropriate."

Liu Hongye agreed and said, "Qi Lin said it very well. Don't underestimate these two little Taoist priests because of their will."

Xuandu Temple is a famous Taoist temple in Chang'an. The Li family brought me as their ancestor and supported and respected Taoism. Although some Taoists did not have an official position, they had close contacts with royal relatives and dignitaries.

Therefore, Liu Hongye was not as resentful as Yuchi Huan. He just lost the game and was thrown away by someone to fight.

If you talk about Liu Hongye's personality, it is somewhat similar to Xu Qilin, and he insulted the title of playboy for nothing.

Seeing that these two people were both cautious, Yuchi Huan said he should be cautious, and his father was also closed to the door to thank the guests, so low-key that he was so angry that he agreed to investigate and make a decision.

"Is that kid's chess playing very well?" Xu Qilin asked with a smile: "I only realized that Brother Liu is good at talking."

Liu Hongye smiled and waved his hand and said, "I dare not say that he is good at it, but I am influenced by my father. As for the little Taoist priest, he only played more than a dozen moves with him, but he also saw that his chess skills are good, and he is probably going to lose."

"At this age, it's really amazing to be praised by Brother Liu." Xu Qilin pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Looking at his innocent and focused on chess, I think he is addicted to this path very deeply!"

"The plays of ancient and modern times are the most circulated, and the most long-standing ones are Go." Liu Hongye sighed: "It is no less confusing than wine and color, and the name of Muye Fox is worthy of it."

The "Zhenguan Governance" led to the rapid development of the Tang Dynasty's economy and the social culture becoming increasingly prosperous. The social environment of peace and peace, peace and peace in the country and the people also promoted the exchange and development of Go.

Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan and Emperor Taizong Li Er were both Go enthusiasts and often played Go while in power. His Majesty Li Er also wrote two poems "Five-character Singing Chess" to express his elegant Go interests.

Therefore, on such a good basis, Go in the early Tang Dynasty developed very quickly and spread it from the court to the people, making chess games not just activities monopolized by the gentry.

By the time of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, not only princes, nobles, cultural celebrities, but also folk peddlers and pawns were able to play chess, and playing chess in Chang'an was almost a custom.

However, at that time, the understanding of Go was limited to the entertainment level, so many people had a negative attitude towards Go, believing that playing chess was a plaything.

Therefore, Go is also called Muye Fox. People believe that Go, which is changing so many things that make people think, is like a beautiful woman transformed from a vixen. Once people are obsessed, they will be unable to extricate themselves and become intoxicated.

Xu Qilin did not completely agree with Liu Hongye's statement, but he didn't say anything. At that time, there were no professional chess players, and most of them had hobbies. If you had something to do, it would be inappropriate to be obsessed with Go.

Just like the official who "only one game of chess in the long run", if he spends all day long, how can he manage the local area and benefit the people?

Of course, this situation is actually very rare. If you can be obsessed with that level, you probably won’t even do it, so you will take chess tools around and look for people to get into trouble all day long.

"Does Qi Lin know how to talk?" Liu Hongye asked casually: "Although it is a battle for victory or defeat, it is also an elegant thing."

Xu Qilin shook his head and said, "I know that one person is placing one hand on the chessboard, but I don't understand the meaning, and it's no different from being able to steal."

Liu Hongye smiled and said, "Qi Lin is a busy person, so he is not as unemployed as a person."

"I'm just busy." Xu Qilin said humbly: "I envy Brother Liu for being able to be at ease and leisurely."

"You must have the ability of Brother Lin when you are busy!" Yuchi Huan interrupted, "I don't know what I can do or what I should do, so how can I get busy?"

"You can learn it with your ability!" Xu Qilin smiled and said, "I also learned while working. The difficulties here are not worth telling outsiders!"

As they were talking, they had already arrived at Zuixiao Tower. Everyone got off the horse and got off the bus while talking and laughing. Not to mention whether watching the show was pleasant, it would be a waste of food, drinking and drinking alone.

…………………

The Ullamban Festival has passed, Helan Chushi and others have left, Xiao Zhao and A Ke have also gone to Jiucheng Palace, and Xu Qilin's life seems to have returned to its original rhythm.

Xu Qilin couldn't explain clearly what rhythm he was, as if it was the same every day, repeating it constantly. If he didn't do anything, he would feel so irritating.

He is passionate, so he has to play from time to time. Especially in this work, he doesn’t make any innovations or achievements, even he himself finds it boring.

Today is a good day. What made Xu Qilin feel a little excited was the bellows and wind wheels placed in front of him.

One is to pull and push back and forth, the other is to move around, but the functions are the same - blowing. Whether it is steel and iron making or home fire burning, it is widely used.

Kudatta, Kudatta, Xu Qilin pulled the wooden pole, and with the familiar and monotonous sound, the wind blew out of the exit blew the dust on the ground.

Wu Song's hand was also very fast. He shook the wind wheel when he went up. He shouted, and the dust flew, which made Xu Qilin hurriedly dodge and turned his head to give the guy a blank look.

"Very good, He has made merits." Xu Qilin coughed dryly and said to Zhou Qi who was standing bent: "Go back and tell He that I will record this credit and will be rewarded later."

Zhou Qi hurriedly bowed and thanked him, saying, "My mother just created things according to the picture and didn't dare to ask for any reward."

"The rule of Dayingku is to distinguish between rewards and punishments." Xu Qilin said seriously: "I have also formulated a charter for accumulating merits and divesting my responsibilities. It can be promulgated and implemented only when your Majesty is grateful. You all do it well and strive to have a day to make a breakthrough as soon as possible."

"I thank Your Majesty for your mother's grace and Xu Cheng for his advice." Zhou Qi thanked him from the bottom of her heart, which was one step closer to her mother and her expectations.

"Stay working hard!" Xu Qilin took two drawings and said, "Go down and leave it to He. After studying and understanding, he will direct the craftsmen to step up the manufacturing."

"Yes." Zhou Qi stepped forward and bowed to take it, and retreated.

Make the bellows or wind wheels bigger, add a furnace to preheat the ventilation ducts, and use coke to reach the furnace temperature of liquid steelmaking, right?

Although Xu Qilin was not sure, he knew that this was a big step forward. If the furnace temperature was high enough, it would be only a layer of paper to smelting iron to steelmaking.

Of course, large-scale steelmaking also requires support from other technological innovations, such as refractory materials, such as removing impurities from iron, etc.

But the rice is eaten one by one, and the difficulties are solved one by one. Xu Qilin is not very anxious and is very confident that he will succeed in innovation.

Even if the temperature of iron smelting and steel making can not be melted into molten iron, it will greatly improve production efficiency and reduce labor.

Xu Qilin instructed the officials to hand over the samples to the woodworking workshop to create larger guys, and then the iron workshop will be tried.

Dayingku now has a relatively complete department, including carpenters, blacksmiths and kiln workers. The required machinery and equipment can basically be made by ourselves, and can even be sold to the outside world.

Back at the office, Xu Qilin summoned Wang Xun, an official from the Du branch who had been transferred to Dayingku. This was an official sent by the Du branch to be familiar with the grain transportation affairs through the decree of His Majesty Li Er.

That's right, Xu Qilin has already begun his plan for the reform of the canal transportation. Although it is still just a paper talk, it can also give him a more comprehensive and intuitive understanding of the canal transportation.

In the early Tang Dynasty, due to the sharp decline in population, the transport of canals was not particularly important in Guanzhong, and the transportation volume was only more than 100,000 stones. However, it was the general trend to maintain an increase every year.

Especially next year, the conquest of Gaochang will be mobilized, and more than 100,000 troops will be mobilized, without millions of stones of food and food, so there is no need to fight this battle.

What's more, after occupying Gaochang, if the imperial court wanted to manage the Western Regions, it would maintain a strong army in the northwest. Without huge amounts of food and food, how could it expand the Western Regions, fight against the Turks, and curb Tubo?

Well, this final idea is Xu Qilin's own judgment and his hope. As a Tang Empire, he is also honored as a Tang Dynasty man.

Furthermore, the prosperity of canal transportation is also related to the major plan of promoting trade, communicating with the north and the south, and comprehensive development!

Therefore, Xu Qilin must complete the major plan for the grain transportation reform before this year, and take advantage of the opportunity of conquering Gaochang and transporting large amounts of grain to make a fortune for Dayingku.

"Xu Cheng, this is the materials for the transportation of the canal that the officials have compiled." After seeing the ceremony, Wang Xun took out the documents he brought and presented them respectfully.

Hey, how did this guy know that I was going to inquire about the canal transportation? He also prepared the materials in advance.

Xu Qilin blinked in confusion. He originally wanted to meet and get to know each other and then ask him to collect and organize it, but he didn't expect that he would finish it without saying anything.

Wang Xun saw Xu Qilin's appearance, pursed his lips slightly, and bowed and said, "The officials are nothing else, they just know a little about the political strategy of the grain. He dared to guess that Xu Cheng was sending someone to the grain transportation."

Xu Qilin laughed twice and said, "You guessed it right, I am indeed quite interested in Caozheng."
