Chapter forty-ninth grand occasion

In any case, after the battle between the Imperial Army and the Ye Family, the marching chess boom in Danyang was completely ignited. From the next day, the schedule of the three sets of grand strategy gameplay of Yi Zhanlou was booked. And those who registered to participate in this competition would no longer be the teams that were randomly gathered together. Those marching chess enthusiasts who were interested in this event spontaneously organized and formed teams of large and small. Through the previous three games, everyone understood how complicated but challenging it was to participate in this competition. To run a command team, there should not be too few people, but not too many to be called "bloated institutions". The twelve-man-equipped Ye Family Army and the eight-man-combined combination of the Imperial Army was widely accepted by everyone.

Of course, it is one thing to be interested in marching chess and grand strategy gameplay, but it is another thing to be able to form a team with some combat effectiveness. Enthusiasts, as well as those who are interested in this activity, want to form a team and establish the leadership of each team. The simplest way is to see the true chapter on marching chess. As a result, even the hall of the Yi Zhan Building and the chess tables in the private rooms used for two-person battles were full.

Membership system? Ye Tao never expected that the three thousand metal membership cards that originally thought were sufficient were used up in just a few days. Although the membership cards were not valuable, just by registering a name and registering the address, it suddenly became a symbol of urgent love for marching chess. The rights of chess tables, private rooms, and even game rooms where only members can register for grand strategy gameplay have made these members suddenly become the central figures among marching chess enthusiasts.

The sales of Yi Zhan Shop has also become popular with this craze. Yi Zhan Tower is indeed a good place to make friends with chess, but since it is difficult to find a place, playing games with friends at home is a helpless move. Although the gameplay of the grand strategy requires a large number of objects, just chess pieces means that there are a large number of models of terrain and building. In addition, at least three rooms must be freed up for both sides of the battle and staff who conduct intermediate calculations for the two sides' engagements, and even those workers

The staff also need to have considerable mathematical knowledge, and at least four mixed operations cannot make mistakes. The various conditions required are not affordable by ordinary people. However, Danyang is Danyang after all, just like any capital, with many rich people and playboys, and Danyang is no exception. What's more, marching chess, especially the grand strategy gameplay, is definitely not something that is depressed. Complete sets of things were sold out one after another. If Ye Tao had not hoarded some goods in advance, he might have been sold out.

Teams began to focus on the homes of members who purchased complete sets of chess pieces and related objects as the center of activity, and divided them into A and B to fight each other, and also evaluated the abilities of members from each other, selecting personnel who are suitable for formal battles in all aspects of ability and personality, so as not to show off their bad luck when the Yi Zhan Tower is fighting with other teams. The game room with grand strategy gameplay was established in some people's homes, greatly dispersing the pressure of the only few game rooms in Yi Zhan Tower, but also invisibly highlighting the authority of all the battle records held in Yi Zhan Tower.

In the "exercise" conducted at home, both sides can fully play, but those staff, especially those who play guest roles, have caused more misunderstandings. The formulas of the wrong generation are just small problems, which are reversed, the feedback data is wrong, the troops and other elements are everywhere. As for the errors occurring during the four mixed operations, the entire Danyang is almost every minute. In this chaos, Ye Tao was not very sure about the fairness of the formulas he designed, and he was still waiting for someone to propose a recommendation to modify the formula. It seems unlikely that it will appear in a short time. Instead, Ye Tao needs to find some calculation methods that make it difficult for everyone to have problems.

"Is it fun?" In Ye's workshop, Tan Weixin looked at the anxious Ye Tao with ridiculous sneer, "What a glorious father of the game industry."

There is almost no place in Ye’s workshop that is completely clean, so clean that everyone will think it is suitable for the princess’ identity. The wood chips and metal debris in the workshop are just small problems. Ye Tao, who cares very much about fire prevention, has extremely strict regulations on the management of debris in the workshop, and even Ye Tao’s own “office” is in chaos. Every time he comes to Ye’s workshop, the maids Sisi and Qiaoer, who know that the princess is not durable, always ask the guards to install a comfortable chair and soft cushion in the car. Ironically, the chair is still produced by Ye’s workshop, and the authentic “IKEA” products are also produced by Yicheng.

Sitting on this comfortable chair, Tan Weixin paid attention to Ye Tao's writing and painting on paper, her face full of melancholy, as if she had encountered some very difficult problems. She seemed to have no time to pay attention to the princess's ridicule.

"What's wrong? What's up? What's going on to stump you?" Tan Weixin was a little curious.

"I compiled a quick search manual for some simple formulas and let them deal with them. What should I do if I have a slightly more complicated thing? I want to make a simple mechanical function computer, but... it seems very difficult." Ye Tao scratched his head and said.

Tan Weixin is very sure that if she was put in the comics, she would have a dark expression on her face now. When could this guy Ye Tao come up with something simple and easy to understand? Mechanical computers? Tan Weixin remembers that she probably saw this thing on TV. It seems to be a scene that records that China was going to carry out large-scale calculations when nuclear weapons were developed in the 1950s. When conditions were not allowed, a large number of people used mechanical computers to perform calculations and check calculations. It seemed that it was only less than half a minute. It was hard for her to imagine that if Ye Tao made a mechanical computer at this time, even a mechanical computer that could only perform simple function operations, she should have a look.

After looking at Sisi and Qiaoer who were confused on the side, Tan Weixin asked timidly: "I remember there should be something called a calculation ruler or a function ruler. Is that not easy to use?"

Ye Tao frowned and said, "But... there are many formulas. If you make a function ruler, wouldn't you have to make a lot of things? Unlike mechanical computers, making a dial on the side will basically be a complete one."

"Ahhh!" Tan Weixin said spitting: "What's the end?... Besides, what about many kinds of function rulers? With a quick lookup table, you will reduce a lot of errors. Just make the appearance and logo of the function ruler more clearly. If you make mistakes, it's a pig. Many function rulers are used anyway, and they will be sold in packages. They asked you to make this thing and sell it. Do you want it?"

When talking about these purely technical and profound things, the two of them were not very concerned about the presence of others. Because even if they were present, they couldn't understand. Nouns such as mechanical computers and function rulers were really unfamiliar to maids like Sisi and Qiaoer. Although they had to learn a lot about Tan Weixin, they did not include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division that exceeded the sum of the number of fingers and toes...

After thinking about it, Ye Tao said, "It's right..." Ye Tao, who is used to pursuing perfect solutions, really didn't expect that function rulers could be sold like this.

In less than two days, Yi Zhan Shop launched a new product "at the request of many customers": a large-strategic calculation rule set, and a quick check manual was provided for purchase. Considering the acceptance of this era, Ye Tao finally chose a calculation rule instead of a function rule as the name. The calculation rule set is not sold, but for customers who purchased the set, if some of the things are lost or damaged, they can provide supplementary services. Speaking of which, it is quite in place. Although the calculation rule set is a thousand miles away from the cheaper one, those who have purchased the entire set of marching chess strategy have bought at least one set. Some simply bought three sets. In addition to the staff, the two sides can also have some general understanding of the possible results before submitting the data.

The popularity of Yi Zhan Tower soon attracted more curiosity. At a friend's cocktail party, Huang Wan asked curiously: "How much did Yi Zhan Tower earn? Apart from buying those chess pieces, boards, and calculating rulers, it seems that playing chess there is very cheap. You should not lose money."

Tan Weixin immediately turned her head and covered her mouth and laughed secretly, while Ye Tao began to talk about him, which aroused everyone's curiosity. Ye Tao, who was not too taboo about profit, was so entangled that he finally revealed a number that surprised everyone. In less than a month, excluding Yi Zhan Shop, Yi Zhan Tower's profit was a full hundred thousand taels...

"It's not really a big money. Everyone doesn't care too much when they put it in their hands, put it in their pockets, or even take it out and spend it. However, there are too many people." Ye Tao scratched his head and said helplessly: "The rent of chess tables and chess pieces is just a small expense. However, the tickets to the interpretation hall are just a small expense. If you stay in the Yi Zhan Building for a long time, you have to drink tea and eat? Although there are many restaurants and teahouses around, you can play with them. There are also many people who lie in front of the chess table for a day. When they close every day, they still refuse to leave. However, the revenue in this area is quite considerable. Not that crazy, but there are also people who like the open-air teahouse in the small square outside. There seems to be a lot of people sitting and chatting and drinking tea. As long as the weather is good, it is difficult to have empty seats during the day."

The business could be done like this. Unexpectedly, this seemingly inconspicuous business, which was a little bit of money that made everyone careless, could actually generate such amazing returns under the tower of sand. With a profit of 100,000 taels of silver per month, less than three companies in Danyang could reach this number. However, Yi Zhanlou had to occupy such a seat explosively.

"Next month, the king will take Princess Bailian as the princess. When Danyang is lively, I am afraid that the business of Yi Zhanlou will not be so good." Ye Tao looked at everyone's surprised and envious expression, laughed and said.

"Even if the king gets married, he will only take care of Chunnan Kingdom's face for two or three days. Although everyone here is among the invited guests, it will only be one day at most. What impact will it have?" Chi Yun's younger brother Chi Lei has always played with them recently, and said unstoppable: "It's not that the great demise is that the whole city is not allowed to entertain for a month."

Well... Tan Weixin snorted dissatisfiedly, then picked up the teacup, and deliberately rubbed the lid against the edge of the cup to make a sound.

Chi Lei suddenly realized that he was saying something very taboo, and quickly slapped himself and said, "Child words are not quarrel..."

Everyone burst into laughter. Huang Wan and others were more familiar with Tan Weixin than Chi Lei. They knew that Tan Weixin actually didn't have so many taboos, and even half of the taboo jokes circulating in the circle came from her. However, maybe she had a bad idea. Everyone quietly waited for Tan Weixin's later statement.

"Tell your father, it's a bit harsh to chop your head. What do you think will happen if I tell you what you just said?" Tan Weixin said with a sneer.

"Your Highness Princess, don't. I told my father that I'm going to beat me again. I've been beaten this month. If you do it again, half of my life will be gone." Chi Lei hurriedly begged for forgiveness.

"Oh...so that." Tan Weixin waved her hand pretentiously and said, "Then you can help me with something. Even if this matter has been exposed, I won't mention it anymore."

Chi Lei quickly said, "Please give orders to His Highness the Princess."

...It was easily blackmailed by Tan Weixin again. In fact, as Tan Weixin's identity, people really asked these friends to help do something, and no matter what. However, Tan Weixin rarely did this. She didn't like to use her princess' status to ask others to do anything, but she always threatened and blackmailed when she found an opportunity. Maybe it was not a big deal, but after some days of getting along, everyone understood that the princess was really good at blackmailing...
