Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 149 Shen Wansan doubts life
What kind of chess move is this?
Shen Wansan stood not far away and silently watched Yang Xian playing chess with the child, but as he watched, his brows suddenly wrinkled.

Because he found that he could not understand the chess moves of the two people in front of him at all.

Is this chess game too advanced?
Before Shen Wansan came to Yangzhou, he had already inquired about Yang Xian. He knew that he was from the Han Dynasty and was Liu Bowen's disciple. You must know that Liu Bowen was a national player in Go.

Therefore, how can such a person play chess at a low level?

Shen Wansan is not proficient in Go, but only has a brief knowledge of it. Therefore, in his opinion, it is normal that he cannot understand Yang Xian's chess moves.

As for why, even the ten-year-old child couldn't understand the chess moves, so it was even simpler.

At a young age, he was able to play chess with Yang Xian.

This young man is simply a genius at Go. It's not surprising that he doesn't understand.

Shen Cheng, who was watching from the side, walked towards Yang Xian and the others. By the time Shen Wansan wanted to stop them, it was already too late.

Shen Cheng was watching chess quietly at the table with his chin in his hands, and suddenly said: "That's not how Go is played."

"Tong Yan Wuji disturbed Lord Shenhou's chess play. I apologize to Lord on behalf of my grandson."

Shen Wansan stepped forward and pulled Shen Cheng behind him.

Seeing that Shen Cheng was still mumbling, "That's not how Go is played," Shen Wansan glared at Shen Cheng angrily.

"How can a young boy like you take credit for Master Shenhou's Go skills?"

In fact, Yang Xian had already noticed their presence earlier, even before Shen Wansan and the other three entered the door.

It's just that the game of chess in front of him has not been played yet, and the opponent has not expressed his intention, so Yang Xian has not spoken.

But now that things have come to pass, he can no longer pretend not to see it.

Yang Xian stood up, looked at Shen Wansan, and said with a smile: "The old gentleman just said that Tong Yan Wuji was too naive, so don't blame him harshly. Besides, what he said is right, what I just played was not Go at all. .”

Not playing Go? !
Ten thousand grass and mud horses roared past in Shen Wansan's heart. No wonder when he watched Yang Xian and the others play chess just now, he felt that the game was a bit strange.

If they weren't playing Go, then everything would make sense.

Wouldn't it be weird to apply the rules of Go to another type of chess?

When he thought of what he had just thought, Shen Wansan felt a little ashamed and glanced at Shen Cheng.

Shen Wansan never thought that he was worse than his grandson.

"Teacher, we still have something to discuss. Let's wait until next time for this game of chess." Yang Xian looked at the students in front of him and said with a smile.

The student sitting opposite him stood up obediently, bowed to Yang Xian, stood up and left.

Before leaving, be polite and politely close the classroom door.

"The game you just played wasn't Go, so what kind of chess was it?" Shen Cheng asked curiously.

"Gobang."

Yang Xian glanced at it and easily memorized the chessboard position in front of him. Then he took off the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard one by one and put them back into the chess box.

"Gobang?"

"Well, it's a type of chess where whoever connects five pieces first wins."

Yang Xian said as he casually laid out the patterns on the chessboard, while explaining the rules of backgammon to Shen Wansan and the others.

The rules of backgammon are simple and easy to understand, and Shen Wansan and his grandson are all smart people. Yang Xian just taught them once and they already mastered them.

As Shen Cheng spoke, he was excited to step forward to ask Yang Xian for advice.

Shen Xia immediately pulled her aside, and with her small head, she ate a big chestnut.

"Don't delay Master Yang and Grandpa from talking about business." Little Master Shen Xia came online and began to teach her younger brother a lesson.Yang Xian looked at this scene and smiled.

He stood up, gave up his position, and said, "Why don't you two, brother and sister, go and talk to your grandpa?"

Hearing that he could finally try the backgammon, Shen Cheng sat down happily.

Shen Xia looked back at Shen Wansan, and after seeing her grandfather nodding, she followed him and sat down.

Yang Xian looked at the old man in front of him, smiled and asked, "Is the old man a businessman who came to Yangzhou to buy colored glaze? I don't know what to call him?"

"Young old man Shen Fu can't bear the words of Mr. Shenhou." Shen Wansan saluted.

"Your Majesty, I am a businessman from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I came to Yangzhou this time because I saw the notice posted by your Majesty."

Shen Fu? !
Yang Xian was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

My dear, the kind old man standing in front of me turned out to be Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

Shen Wansan, whose real name is Shen Fu, also named Zhongrong and nicknamed Wanshan.

Because he practiced three, the extremely wealthy people were called Wanhu at that time, so people in the world also called him Wansan.

Yang Xian never expected that a random notice about buying and selling colored glaze would attract Shen Wansan.

"Mr. Wan San can afford me, as long as he doesn't think I'm poor." Yang Xian joked.

the other side.

The chess game between siblings Shen Xia and Shen Cheng has reached a critical moment.

Shen Xia frowned, holding the chess piece, and seemed to be calculating where to play the next move.

Shen Cheng on the side was a little excited and said: "Sister, if you don't block this place, you will lose. I'm telling you this out of kindness."

"A small businessman only has a little money at most. Lord Shenhou said this, which really scares me." Shen Wansan saluted quickly.

Yang Xian waved his hand and said it was just a joke.

He called the other person "Mr." mostly because of his age and to show respect.

You must know that at the beginning, Yang Xian did not know that standing in front of him was the richest man in Ming Dynasty.

What's more, for Yang Xian, what about being the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

Businessmen in the Ming Dynasty could not even decide their own destiny.

Even if he reached the level of Shen Wansan.

This was true for Shen Wansan, and the same was true for Shen Yishi, later the richest man in Zhejiang and an official of the Weaving Bureau.

Shen Yishi thought about struggling and changing his destiny, but in the end, let alone his family property, he couldn't even save his own woman or his own life.

And Yang Xian was not only the prefect of a state, but also one of the few marquises in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Shen Wansan's behavior in front of Yang Xian at this moment was not entirely fake.

Those who do business really dare not offend officials.

You know, Shen Wansan almost died at that time.

"Okay, let's stop joking with Mr. Shen. Did Mr. Shen come to Yangzhou for the glassware?" Yang Xian said.

Shen Wansan nodded and said, "I wonder if you, sir, have heard of the legendary glass, the stain-free glassware."
