In the city of Zhengzhou in the Central Plains, where the Chief River Defense Envoy was stationed, a group of staff rushed in, just in time to bump into a frowning colleague coming out of the government office, and immediately greeted: "Master Li, what's wrong?"

Master Li who was stopped smiled wryly, and whispered in his ear: "The amount of Zhihe silver allocated by the superior is incorrect. It is said that it was used to transport the silver, and it seems that it was taken away by various road officials. Therefore, Lord Shangshu I'm in a bad mood today, so be careful when you go in."

The staff member who entered the door felt sorry for him, nodded his thanks, went in alone, and arrived at Lord Shangshu's office, and said to the sergeant who was guarding: "Please, sir, let me know, the next official has something to do with river regulation, and I need to see Lord Shangshu."

The sergeant nodded, entered, and came out after a while, "Mr. Zhou, go in."

The white-clothed staff member called Mr. Zhou entered, and saw an old man buried his head in reviewing official documents at the desk in the study, without raising his head at this time, his expression remained unchanged, and he asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter? "The bearded and slovenly Shangguan in front of him is Lu Henglu Shangshu who just took office as Minister of the Ministry of Industry and served as the general river control envoy. He was immediately transferred to Zhengzhou, Henan Province, to be in charge of flood control of the Yellow River.

Since arriving in Zhengzhou, Lu Heng has been walking along the river every day, inspecting along the river, and finally grasped all the key points of the river's troubles. Now he is arranging how to dispatch the migrant workers and soldiers who have just been conscripted from various places, but he finds that the bank assigned by the superior is wrong. How not to make him angry.

Mr. Zhou bent down and handed over a volume, "My lord, this is a collection of lectures that I got from someone else today. It is said that it was published by Dongcang Academy in Fuzhou. The first few articles of this collection are all about Neo Confucianism." , It’s not very unusual, but the last article is a strategy for treating the Yellow River published by a Confucian scholar, and his views are quite novel, and it may be helpful for adults to manage the river.”

Hearing this, Lu Shangshu, who was not in a good mood, immediately raised his head and became interested, "Oh, Zhou Sheng is the person who is most familiar with water control around me. I want to see what novel ideas can make Zhou Sheng feel better. If you are so cautious, please submit it.”

Zhou Sheng stepped forward and presented the book to him.According to what he said, Lu Heng read Xie Shi's lecture on the Yellow River Control Strategy. However, Lu Heng looked at the words for a long time, and then spread out the water engineering map, and carefully compared it with the water control map in the anthology, and found that it was roughly consistent, except that some river sections were drawn wrong, but this did not affect the brilliance of this strategy.

After a while, he put down the books and hydraulic diagrams, and asked, "Who is Xie Shi who wrote this article?"

Zhou Sheng replied: "He is a scholar from Le County, Fuzhou. He was born in a poor family. It is said that he was smart since he was a child, but unfortunately he is weak and sick, so it is difficult for him to take up a big job." Xie Shi has been keeping a low profile since he crossed. Knowing that his identity is now the head chef of the back kitchen of the academy, the news Zhou Sheng heard is relatively late, which is the impression given by Xie Shi in the past.

Lu Heng sighed and said, "Heaven is jealous of talents. If he is a good man with a healthy body, the old man still wants to recruit him under his command, but now it seems that it is not appropriate."

Zhou Sheng asked: "My lord, what is the strategy of 'constraining the water to attack the sand, widening the river to hold the sand'?"

Lu Heng only used eight words to comment, "Create a new way, amazing workmanship!"

Zhou Sheng was excited, and he stepped forward and asked again: "Then, can you revise the river control plan according to this plan?" According to him, this plan is more accurate and effective than their original plan, and if we meet again next time Floods can also be dealt with freely. Once completed, it will be a century-old benefit.

Lu Heng patted the table and said with a smile: "Since there is a good plan, why not use it? I will write to the prime minister and ask him to make a decision." After Zhou Sheng left, Lu Hengxin wrote a memorial, After thinking for a while, he finally asked Prime Minister Tuotor to agree to revise the plan with his official seal as a guarantee.

Xie Shi knew nothing about what happened in the court.During the period when Xie Shi was recovering from his foot injury, the servants sent by Han Ji worked diligently and supervised them all the time. If Xie Shi showed any thoughts of getting out of bed and walking around, Wang Jia and two servants from the Han family would persuade Xie Shi to give birth to a child. cocoon.This would be so boring that the moldy Xie Shi just started to think of ways to pass the time.

If in modern times, Xie Shi has a mobile phone, internet, and air conditioner, he can stay at home for ten and a half months without going out. Anyway, he doesn’t have any close friends to walk around and socialize with. After reading the conversation book, I put it aside.Nowadays, Yuan opera is popular in the market, and the themes of novels in vernacular are still rare. If it is not necessary, Xie Shiyi, a science student, is unwilling to embarrass himself.

After all, he read idle books to pass the time for entertainment, not to learn ancient Chinese.However, it turns out that when it comes to entertaining oneself, human beings are full of motivation to create. When Xie Shi was so bored that he started playing with his left hand and his right hand, he suddenly remembered the Hua Rong Dao game he played when he was a child.

He immediately asked his servants to help him get some wooden boards, knives and pens and inks, and cut the several wooden boards into five longitudinal rectangles with a small knife, and painted Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and Guan Yu with a Chinese ink brush respectively. Mark the small image with notes, and then cut four small squares of equal size to represent the four small soldiers, and finally occupy the four small squares on the chessboard. Cao Cao's square.

Xie Shi also used the largest piece of wood to make a chessboard with [-] small squares, put the engraved squares into the corresponding positions, and left two squares at the bottom for movement, so Huarong said And you're done.Xie Shi was fine anyway, and it took a whole morning to carve this little toy.

After it was finished, Xie Shi looked at the slightly rough wooden toy, feeling proud in his chest, saying that this is the world's first Huarong Road game toy, he must treasure it carefully, maybe it will become a cultural relic in a thousand years and enter the museum Mile.

The gameplay of Huarong Dao is simple and simple, complex and complicated. It is simple because the rules of the game are simple, and everyone can get started. Just move the squares on the board to help Cao Cao move from the initial position to the bottom middle of the board. Escaping from the exit is considered a victory, but crossing blocks is not allowed during this period.

It is complicated because the gameplay of Huarong Road is varied and requires the least number of steps to move the Cao Cao cube to the exit.The game of Huarong Road has been played by many people until [-], and many scientists have studied its gameplay.Xie Shi knew it because it was the first toy he received in his life, from the aunt of the Maternal and Child Aid Association. Although this toy was later snatched away by a neighbor child from a distant relative who adopted him, it did not hinder his love .

Xie Shi took the Huarong Road that he made and played the most classic "horizontal knife immediately" solution to practice his hand feeling. It took 81 steps to reach the exit of the chessboard.

Wanting to try the most difficult layout of "Turning the Wind" again, I heard an "Aiyo" outside the window, followed by the sound of people falling heavily to the ground. Xie Shi heard the sound familiar, put down Hua Rongdao in his hand, and walked towards the window look out.

At first, no one was seen outside the window, until a weak voice came from under the window, "Mr. Xie, we are here..." Xie Shi followed the voice and looked down, and found that one, two, three, four were squatting under the window of his house a little boy.Fu Yu chubby patted his head with a playful smile and smirked at him, Cai Hua and Gao Shu saluted him awkwardly, the young Han Ning pretended not to change his face, but in fact the blush from his face that was too white had already betrayed him.

Xie Shi smiled, "You guys don't have a good lunch, what are you doing here?" He looked at the noon sun, and hurriedly let them come into the mansion to talk.

A few young boys pushed me and pushed you into the mansion by Wang Jia. Xie Shi asked him to help him and entertained them in the breeze pavilion in the mansion. He did not forget to copy the Huarong Road that he made this morning .

Except for Fu Yu, who loves to eat, who is familiar with Xie Shi among the young boys, the other three don't have much contact with Xie Shi.Xie Shi first asked Fu Yu why they left the academy and went up the mountain.

At first, Fu Yu wanted to play haha, so he mumbled, "Mr. Xie, we didn't skip class, we took advantage of our lunch break to relax!"

Xie Shi showed the posture he used to train his brothers and sisters when he was a graduate student, and while playing with Hua Rongdao in his hand, the old god was making a killer move: "If you don't confess, I'll invite you, Director Cen, over here. "

Fu Yu and others: ...

Under the threat of Xie Shi, the young boys finally told the truth.It turns out that today is Han Ning's birthday. Maybe all male dolls have a dream of the jungle. The other three little bastards thought of it somehow, but they thought of going up the mountain to dig traps to catch rabbits, and secretly baked them for Han Ning at night. Birthday ideas!

Xie Shi gritted his teeth with a smile: ...these brats seem to be really underwhelmed.

Seeing that Xie Shi's expression was not right, Han Ning suddenly pointed to the chessboard in his hand, and changed the subject: "Sir, what is this?"

Xie Shi looked at him, Han Xiao's appearance was really outstanding, he was only eleven or twelve years old, and he could already imagine the demeanor of an adult in the future, and it was only from Fu Yu's "confession" that he could tell that today this bear boy's The idea of ​​"Jungle Adventure" was definitely not Han Ning's idea. At most, he just showed his loyalty and accompanied his friends up the mountain.

In addition, today is Han Ning's birthday, so when he thanked Han Ning, he looked at Han Ning in a much better way. He handed him the Huarong Dao chessboard in his hand and asked, "Does Brother Ning know the story of Cao Cao's defeat in Huarong Dao?" ?”

Han Ning replied: "Mr. know, it is said that in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Aman was defeated one after another by Liu Houzhu and Sun Zhongmou's "bitter tricks" and "iron chain boat", and was forced to retreat to Huarong Road, where he met Guan Gong on a narrow road. In order to repay Cao Aman's kindness to him in the past, Guan Gong let him go and helped Cao Aman escape from Huarong Road."

Xie Shi nodded in relief, the child learned history well, "This little toy is called 'Hua Rong Dao', and the gameplay is like this..." Xie Shi explained the gameplay, and asked, "Do you want to try it?"

Han Ning originally just wanted to change the subject to get a friend, but he didn't expect that when he thanked him for the explanation, the young boy's eyes lit up, obviously he was very interested in this novel game, and he wanted to pass it to himself to try when he thanked him. Looking at the childishness of these children, he asked in a low voice, "Can I?"

Xie Shi saw that he was looking at him with bright eyes, like a wet puppy, and said with a smile, "Of course, but it's something I do when I have nothing to do. I'm not good at crafting, maybe it's a little rough."

Han Ning took it with both hands, and when he heard that Xie Shi made it himself, his movements became lighter, and he said in a low voice, "Mr.'s craftsmanship is very good." Han Ning was smart since he was a child, and after hearing Xie Shi's explanation of the rules, he got started. There is only one Huarong Road, Fu Yu and the three of them have nothing to play, they surround Han Ning enviously, and each of them "instructs" him which step to take, but Han Ning goes his own way and completely ignores them.

In ancient times, there were almost no toys suitable for the juvenile stage. It was rare for a few children to come across a toy, and naturally they had a great time playing with it.Xie Shi saw that the young boys were all focused on playing games, so he called the cook and gave them instructions.
