Chapter 184: Pumping Music
In the early morning, the weather was clear and the breeze was blowing. In the suburbs of Kaifeng, in a manor, young heroes were about to embark on a treasure hunt.
Li Li stood on the platform and saw that his carefully designed "treasure hunting maze" was ready. The sons were all ready to go, and were very happy and nodded to the side.
On the side, Feng Xiaolian, holding a flute in his hand, blew the song he had just learned.
The tune is exciting, as if it is an accompaniment of a fierce battle.
The name of the song is unknown, because Li Li, the "first creator", has never been said, but only said that the inspiration for this flute song is from the "Will of Fire".
When time comes, the young heroes stand at different entrances of the maze and move forward in the center of the maze to harvest treasure chests along the way and at the center.
However, before taking the steps, dice must be rolled.
Determine your own "advance grid" based on the number of points of the dice, and the "grid" has been drawn on the road of the maze.
This is a typical "monopoly game". The number of action steps is determined by the number of dice points. There are various "treasure chests" on the way, just staying on the "grid" where the treasure is located, and you can "open the treasure chest".
Or various events.
If you unfortunately walk into the "trap" grid, or encounter bad events, the player will be beaten back to the starting point.
When rolling dice, there must be dice. Each prince must draw lots first and draw dice of different "quality", and there are seven types of dice.
Wooden dice, twenty-eight sides.
Stone dice, twenty sides.
Copper dice, twelve sides.
Silver dice, eight sides.
Ivory dice, six-sided, that is, normal cube dice.
There are also the highest level of gold dice, four sides, that is, triangular pyramid-shaped dice.
No matter which kind of dice, there are only four numbers on it, namely one, two, four, and eight.
Except for the golden dice, there are more than four sides of the other dice, and there are no numbers in the number (more than four).
Therefore, the probability of throwing the number by the person who gets the wooden dice is one-seventh, that is, about fourteen percent.
The probability of casting the number "eight" is one in 28, that is, about four percent.
Only those who hold gold dice will definitely take at least one step each time they roll the dice.
The holder of silver dice, ivory dice, stays in the "trap" grid and can return to the nearest "memory" grid instead of returning to the starting point.
The holder of the gold dice can stay in the "trap" grid and can "no damage" and even the "memory" grid is not necessary to go back.
There is no doubt that the gold dice is the best dice, but only one.
After the lottery draw, the prince who drew the gold dice smiled and looked happy, because he was highly likely to be the final "champion".
The prince who drew silver dice and ivory dice was a little disappointed, but his face was calm because he still had hope of winning.
Those princes who drew copper dice or even wooden dice wanted to stop playing on the spot: What's the effort to do if they could not win?
But when Li Li glared at him, he could only hold back his tears and silently walked towards his starting point.
The treasure hunt began and the princes began to roll dice.
The difference in "game progress" is immediately revealed.
The prince holding the gold dice "steps like flying" and moves forward without any scruples, opening treasure chests, stepping on traps, and walking on flat ground.
The prince holding silver dice and ivory dice, staggering, but generally moving forward.
The prince holding wooden dice, stone dice, and copper dice either stayed in place for a long time, or was unlucky and stepped on a trap and was beaten back to the starting point.
This extremely unfair game quickly led to the prince holding the "bottom dice" breaking down and crying, "Don't play anymore."
However, this game is an educational class, and it is not possible to not play it. Every prince follows people, supervises the results of dice rolling and becomes a "military supervisor".
Li Li had a tiger face and was patrolling back and forth with a rattan, and forced his sons to play the game to the end:
The game ends when all those holding silver dice and above dice reach the end.
There is no doubt that the princes with empty hands and red eyes crying.
Originally, a good treasure hunt game was made like this, and Zhao Mengniang, who was watching, felt uncomfortable with several other mothers.
However, the game is not over yet, lunch time is up, and the princes have to "draw cards" to have a meal.
All kinds of food include drinks, and are divided into grades in the form of set meals. If you want to eat, you cannot take it directly. You have to draw a card and get the food by drawing a card.
Food is divided into five levels, which are five stars. The higher the star rating, the higher the level of the set meal.
What card do the princes draw can enjoy the corresponding food and drinks according to the card's star rating. The higher the card's star rating, the lower the probability of winning.
It costs 70 cents to draw a card, and each prince has 10,000 cents.
If you don’t draw one by one, but draw ten cards at a time, there will be a “discounted package”: the package price is 648 essays.
Drawing ten cards in a row can be much more cost-effective than drawing ten cards one by one.
The princes all understood this principle. They held ten thousand words (used paper coupons instead, not real copper coins) and started to draw cards.
It is easy to get a one-star diet, but the food is wild vegetable soup (which also includes drinks), and no one wants to eat it.
I kept drawing cards, and as I was smoking, the money was gone.
And there are very few princes who can get a normal diet (at least three stars, you can swallow it).
The card in your hand is either a one-star wild vegetable soup (full vegetarian), or a two-star "little fish and shrimp porridge" (with a little meat).
The Samsung set meal is steamed buns, white porridge, and fermented tofu, and only a few people get it.
The four-star set meal, white rice, fresh meat soup, and sour plum soup, only one person can get it.
As for the five-star "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" package, none of them won.
The young princes who were "depressed" when they were playing treasure hunts, got such a set meal when they were hungry, and they all had bitter faces, and they didn't know how aggrieved it would be.
Li Li sat next to his sons with a large bowl of "small fish and shrimp porridge", asking his son if these two "smoking fun" today were fun.
The princes shook their heads like rattles: It’s weird if you’re fun!!
In the first treasure hunt, everyone uses the same six-sided dice, stepping on the trap and returning to the starting point, or remembering the point, which is interesting!
The second game is that you have to draw a card for a meal and take 10,000 yuan to see what the draws are!
"Ten thousand yuan, ten cents, you can have a big meal if you find a decent restaurant or a restaurant." Li Li said slowly, looking at his sons.
"Take a card, ten cents, and find a roadside food stall to buy some snacks, which can also fill your stomach. What's the result?"
"Is it interesting to play games, the categories and privileges of dice, which directly leads to the fact that the game is meaningless to most participants? It's definitely boring."
After laying the groundwork, Li Li led the argument: "So, unreasonable rules must be changed, otherwise, they will be unfair!!"
The princes nodded vigorously. Today, these two things made them deeply understand how unfair the unreasonable rules of the game are to the "competitors".
"We regard the treasure hunt game as the journey of becoming an official and becoming an official, and the dice as qualifications for entering the officialdom. So, who do you think of the participants in the game holding different dices?"
A prince raised his hand and asked Li Li to give a speech: "This is the high-ranking family, ordinary gentry, common people, and the bottom civilians!"
"That's right." Li Li was very satisfied with his son's reaction. "The type of dice, privilege, and the entire set of game rules, similar to the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, is extremely unfair to the common people, let alone civilians."
"If the common people's children enter the officialdom according to the convention of the previous dynasty, they will basically be foreign officials. Except for a very small number of people, they will be officials for life, that is, foreign officials."
"And civilians are not even officials in the vassal state, they are just officials."
"Children of the gentry, they are officials who are in the inner circle. After entering the high-ranking family, they are all noble and noble, with few affairs and good reputations."
"If you do things, you are prone to making mistakes. Do more mistakes, do less mistakes, and do less mistakes. If you don't do it, you will naturally not make mistakes. Therefore, these noble officials have a smooth career and are leisurely."
"Even if they make mistakes, there are elders who will protect their relatives and in-laws. They don't have to bear any responsibility. If they are ordinary gentry, they will have to change their responsibilities and avoid the limelight."
"Once an official from a commoner makes a mistake, he has no way to hide and bear the consequences. All his previous efforts will be wasted. Even if he wants to bear the fault of his chief officer."
"When you are playing games, after you get low-end dice, you always can't throw numbers, you always stand still, or finally take a few steps, but accidentally step on a trap and are driven back to the starting point..."
"Is there any irritation in my heart? Are there any unfair rules to curse?"
The princes nodded vigorously: Of course there is!
Li Li asked again: "When it comes to eating, even if the price is clearly marked, diners can eat the corresponding food at a reasonable price, but the store doesn't."
"What are you doing to draw cards? What's the point of eating based on probability? Is this fair? I spent 10,000 yuan and even ate wild vegetable soup or small fish and shrimp porridge?"
The princes were "deeply harmed". Thinking of this, grievances surged out in their hearts, and a few of them burst into tears again.
This is the effect Li Li wants. He wants his sons to remember it and remember it unforgettably how corrupt and hateful some systems since the Wei and Jin Dynasties are now.
"The imperial examination is to re-establish the rules of the game. Everyone's dice is a normal six-sided dice. What numbers are thrown depends on the performance of the exam room."
"No one can have any privileges. If you step on a trap, you have to retreat. Considering that it is not easy to study hard, you just return to the 'memory point', everyone is like this."
"The relationship between credit and corresponding promotion of titles cannot be determined by the probability, and the price must be clearly marked, that is, the strict military merit and title system!"
"The title and the general's name are dishes with clear prices. Diners are soldiers in the army. As long as they make corresponding military achievements, they can exchange for the corresponding title and the general's name!"
"If there is no military merit, you cannot be granted titles or promoted titles. If you do not lead troops to fight and kill the enemy, you must not have a general's title!"
"There is no reason why those weak scholars who can't even ride horses and have never really brought soldiers have started their careers as middle-level generals and above, and they can be awarded titles without making military achievements!"
Li Li used this metaphor to let the young princes understand what he wanted to say.
He has always educated the prince in this way, and several princes who have grown up or are about to become adults.
Once the ideas he instilled take root in his sons' hearts, they will directly affect their three views and accompany them throughout their lives.
