Go Legend

  Chapter 589

   "Brother Ding'an, let me ask you, in your Qing Dynasty, is there still a Hanlin chess to be ordered?"

"The chess is pending? How could we still have it then? This official position was first established in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and reached its peak in the Tang and Song Dynasties. However, in the previous dynasties, Emperor Hongwu cancelled this official position, so no, we didn't have it at all at that time. Hanlin chess is waiting for the edict."

   "Hehe, then, Brother Ding'an, let me ask you again, does the Aisin Gioro Hongli you are courting with know how to play chess? If so, what is his level?"

   "Who are you talking about?"

   "It's the Qianlong Emperor who you boasted to yourself as a perfect old man."

   "He? Hehe."

Li Xiangping was amused when he heard it: "Oh, brother Ding'an, it's not bad now, you have even learned "hehe", I guess this person doesn't like chess at all, right? Even if he occasionally plays a game or two, he will definitely It's a stinky chess basket."

   "Huh? How could you guess this?"

   "It's very simple, because this person also writes poetry," Li Xiangping said with a big laugh:

"That guy actually wrote more than 10,000 poems in his life, what is the concept? It's like writing poetry as a diary, and I told you long ago that writing a diary is really not a good thing, it's easy to expose For example, Emperor Qianlong of yours, in his more than 10,000 crooked poems, is there any description of Go? It seems to be rare, or even close to nothing, then think about it, Brother Ding’an, if he He is really a chess lover, how could such a phenomenon occur when he wrote the crooked poems as a diary? So from this point alone, I can infer that this person must not love chess, and must be a stinky chess basket.”

   "Hahahaha," this time it was Lao Shi's turn to laugh: "Not bad, Xiaoyou Xiangping has a unique perspective, but the inference is reasonable. Ding'an admires it. This person really doesn't like chess, and his level is very low."

  Old Shi paused, then continued in a lower voice:

   "This person not only doesn't love chess, but may even hate Go. My ancient chess has changed from prosperity to decline, and this person is really the culprit."

   "Middle-aged chess? Haha Ding'an brother, why do you call yourself middle-aged chess now?"

   "Didn't I hear you say this every day, so I followed along? By the way, little friend Xiangping, why did you suddenly talk to me about this person today?"

  Li Xiangping did not answer immediately, but asked with great interest: "The culprit, you also think this person is the culprit? How did he harm Zhongguqi?"

   Lao Shi was silent for a while, and then simply spit out a few words: "The case of the malpractice of the Lianghuai salt trader".

   When he said this, he suddenly seemed to think of something: "Huh? I heard you say "also" just now. Did anyone else say that this person is the culprit before this?"

  Li Xiangping smiled, and then he took a moment to explain to his cheater: In fact, in the modern academic world, some people have analyzed the reasons for the decline of medieval chess.

Of course, for those more metaphysical reasons, such as "prosperity in the country and prosperity in chess", Li Xiangping didn't bother to talk to the older Shi. In the Braid Dynasty, there were two specific major events, which were a blow to the ancient chess. huge.

   The first thing is the "Lianghuai Salt Merchant Malpractice Case" mentioned by Lao Shi just now. In particular, the "Lianghuai Salt Merchant Malpractice Case" initiated by Emperor Qianlong after his middle age and vigorously engaged in more than 10 years, has a huge impact on the ancient chess.

Of course, everyone knows that a project like Go requires a certain amount of economic support, and in the Braid Dynasty, the biggest economic support for Go was, of course, from the Lianghuai salt merchants at that time, and the actions of Emperor Qianlong at that time, In fact, it is equivalent to directly eliminating the gold master father of Go.

  Well, in fact, in ancient China, there were usually two kinds of fathers who were the gold masters of Go. They were always like the Lianghuai salt merchants, and the other was the dignitaries at that time, or directly the powerful people at that time.

However, in the Qianlong Dynasty, because he himself didn't like chess or even hated Go, he did not like chess. Apologize for the roasting of the chicken

   Speaking of this, Li Xiangping wanted to say more. He really is not a lover of Wujiwu. He thought that Emperor Qianlong's cleanup of the "Lianghuai Salt Merchant Malpractice" affected Weiqi, so he thought about this matter.

   In fact, the "Lianghuai Salt Merchant Malpractice Case" itself is a very disgusting and bad thing.

   In fact, the so-called "salt class" of the Braid Dynasty implemented a tax system, um, similar to the very primitive tax system in the late Middle Ages in Europe.

   So here comes the question: You make all the rules, and after you see the salt merchants make some money, you can't stand it? Are you upset? Are you going to get rid of them?

   The beacon country of later generations, isn't that how they deal with our country?

  Emperor Qianlong’s approach to dealing with salt merchants in the two Huaihe Rivers at that time was exactly the same as that of the Lighthouse Kingdom.

The only difference between the two is that they are looking for different reasons. The lighthouse country of later generations is looking for the reason for the "free world". As for our old man Shiquan, of course he doesn't understand the free world, so he basically It is to find reasons for corruption and to rectify those salt merchants in the name of punishing corruption.

   There is no doubt that although they are all wool in nature, Emperor Qianlong's approach is definitely more confusing, and it is easier to stand on the commanding heights of morality.

   So from this point of view, the lighthouse country of later generations seems to be inferior to this old man who is perfect as shit?

  The second major event that led to the turn from prosperity to decline in medieval chess was the later Taiping Rebellion.

how to say? If it is said that the "Lianghuai Salt Merchant Malpractice Case" initiated by Qianlong turned the medieval chess from prosperity to decline, then the later Taiping Rebellion Movement had a devastating blow to the medieval chess.

After all, for Go, although the father of the gold master is important, Li Xiangping personally thinks that this is not the most important, because Go is a kind of culture. As long as its cultural heritage is still there, there will be fewer fathers of the gold master for a while. A devastating blow to Go.

   The Taiping Rebellion in the past caused such a devastating blow to Go.

Li Xiangping remembered that in his previous life, he had seen a statistic made by a senior **** chess player. The statistic was as follows: Go has been developed and passed down in China for thousands of years, and in modern times, it is still preserved. , How many ancient books are there related to Go?

   It may be difficult for many people to believe it. There are only more than 200 copies.

   And among the more than 200 ancient Go books, there are also purely theoretical articles such as "The Thirteen Chapters of the Chess Classic" and "Go Fu".

   In other words, even if these are added, there will be less than 300 copies.

   Obviously, in the real ancient times, there could not be so few books related to Go, so when will other books be destroyed? Basically it was destroyed in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period.

Because at that time, the Jiangnan area was an important town of Go, and the local literary style was prosperous. There were many private libraries. This is an important part of the company's development.

One of the more typical examples of this is the death of neodymium.嫠dong            颛 颓 少 cutting blowing sword  screen        cough  muscle  apricot Xing 陗 cover  觥.

   This book, Lao Shi himself said he had read it.

   As for Li Xiangping, he knew the existence of this book from other sources, but it was impossible for him to see this ancient book, because this book should have been destroyed during the Taiping Rebellion.

   After Li Xiangping told his plug-in the reasons for modern people's analysis, Lao Shi was silent for a long time. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said:

   "By the way, you didn't answer me just now, why did you suddenly ask me about it today?"

  Li Xiangping smiled and replied: "Why, of course, it is for the "big national player"."

   "Big country player?"

"Yes, you heard it yesterday, and now I'm going to send a film and television drama related to you. Brother Ding'an, let me tell you, this drama has already appeared in my previous life, and it was in that drama. Among them, there is Hanlin chess to be ordered, haha, your Qing Dynasty's Hanlin chess to be ordered."

   "Ah?! How can this be so fabricated?"

Li Xiangping said: "It's still a trivial matter to wait for an edict. After all, this official position has really existed in real history, so it's harmless to make up films and TV dramas here. Brother Ding'an, let me tell you, the former "big national player" "The old man Shiquan is a very important character. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the big boss of the whole work. It seems that all the plots and all the dark lines are driven by this person. "

   "Ah?! This, this, that, what does the little friend Xiangping want to do now?"

  Li Xiangping didn't immediately reply to Lao Shi's words, he stood there for a while, and then answered nonsense:

   "Brother Ding'an, I told you just now that there are only less than 300 ancient Go books left in China. Do you know how many ancient Go books they have in Nadongying and Goryeo?"

   "How can I know this, how many of them are there now?"

  Li Xiangping smiled: "It is also based on the statistics of senior **** chess players. Modern ones are not counted. Only 100 years ago, in Nadongying, their original ancient Go books were only 34."

   "Ah, so little?"

Li Xiangping continued to laugh: "Why is Brother Ding'an still too little? I told you that there are already quite a few. After all, although there are few ancient books in the Dongying chess circle, there are still great works such as "Fa Yang Lun", which is really fascinating. It's the Korean chess world, do you know how many original Go books they could have by 100 years ago?"

"How many?"

  Li Xiangping stretched out three fingers: "Three books, ancient books that are really related to Go, there are only three books in Korea."

"hey-hey."

   Hearing Lao Shi's "hehe", Li Xiangping sighed:

   "It's just that although they have few ancient Go books, they are completely ahead of us in the production of Go film and television dramas."

"Oh?"

  Li Xiangping nodded. At this time, he did not continue to explain to Lao Shi.

In real history, in the three countries of China, Japan and South Korea, they have actually filmed film and television dramas with the theme of Go. Japan is the famous "chess soul" and South Korea is "please answer 1988". This is a TV series based on Da Li. It is similar to a biopic of Lee Chang-ho.

   China is a bit more, with "Wu Qingyuan", "Go Junior" and "Big National Player".

It's just a pity. As far as Li Xiangping's personal point of view is concerned, he thinks that the quality of Chinese Go-themed film and television dramas is the worst, especially the "big national player", which is simply too bad. bad movie.

   If this is still in the previous life, then Li Xiangping may just complain, and even as a non-film fan, he may not even bother to complain.

   But in this world it is different.

  After all, the old man has become his own plug-in, so after getting along for so long, Li Xiangping has long had a very wonderful feeling, or a unique feeling that only transmigrators can have. ​​​

   He now has an inexplicable "sense of substitution", feeling that he and Lao Shi are no longer separate from each other. If anyone insults Lao Shi, it is no different from insulting himself.

   Obviously, Li Xiangping thinks that the "big national player" in real history has insulted Lao Shi.

   It not only insulted Lao Shi, but also insulted Fan Xiping chess master, and also insulted the ancient chess.

  Since this is the case, of course Li Xiangping can't be indifferent now, he decided to take care of it.

  No, the word "handling" may be a misnomer here. For Li Xiangping, the word is too big. It should be said that he now decides to mix this matter.

   But how to mix it? Now he can't say one, two, three, four, or even have any clues.

   After all, in his previous life, he was not involved in the entertainment industry, not even a movie fan. More than 90% of all his knowledge about the movie and television industry came from gossip on the Internet.

   Obviously, a knowledge reserve like his is definitely not qualified to be involved in the production of a film and television work. Now he only has two favorable conditions:

   One, he is also the golden slam in the world chess world. He is the leader and representative figure recognized by almost everyone in the Chinese chess world and even the world chess world.

   Now that you have this identity, it seems that there is always something to do with making a film and television drama about Go.

   At least say two words by yourself, and then express your opinion, no one should feel violated.

The second and more important advantage: because Zhao Daokai's father Zhao Jiadong, in real history, he came out to open a media company by himself from next year, and I heard Zhao Daokai say yesterday that Zhao Jiadong also seems to be involved." The production of "The Great National Hand".

   So Li Xiangping decided to find a time to chat with Zhao Jiadong and see what happened.

   Of course, this matter can't be rushed now, because in a few days, it will be the "Fujitsu Cup" final with Gu Dali. Li Xiangping has to finish the game first.

   "Brother Ding'an, after a week, when we come back from Japan, I will take you to visit my Uncle Zhao, okay?"

"Ha ha."

  August 2005 came soon. On the first weekend, Li Xiangping boarded the flight to Tokyo, Japan again, and competed with his teammate Gu Dali for this year's "Fujitsu Cup" championship.

   It seems that there has been a change in the personnel affairs of Reading. The editor-in-charge of Seventh Uncle has been replaced, and the consequence of changing the editor-in-charge has led to the long-term streaking of this book.

   The current results have been stagnant for a long time, and the subscription has not increased for a long time. Uncle Seven urges everyone to support, thank you!

   Once again feeble asking for a monthly pass, please!
