Chapter 319 Simplified version?
Although Li Shimin and the ancients never thought of making the sand table more refined, it does not mean that they cannot hear the huge use of combining the new sand table and the military chess described in Li Anran's words just now.
It’s fun to be fun. In the field of training new soldiers and generals, there was no way to compare with modern time and space in ancient times. To cultivate a famous general who is not only talking about military affairs on paper, in addition to reading more military books, it also requires a lot of practical experience.
But the question is, let alone whether there are so many wars for you to fight. Even if there are, who would be willing to hand over the future of an army or even a country to a military "Brother Chu"? The risks here are so great that no one dares to take risks.
As for the method of starting from low to low with the army, it has been around since ancient times, but this method is too slow for cultivating famous generals. Moreover, if you are not careful, you may very likely die halfway through the talented generals.
But if Li Anran said that this new sand table and military chess can really be made, even if Li Shimin and others cannot resemble the detailed settings of such games in later generations, they also know that even if the final effect can only be folded in half, that would be enough.
"Listen to what the real person said, it turns out that the sand table can be so useful." Li Shimin, who had already figured out all kinds of possibilities, couldn't help but poke the sand table in front of him, and his expectation for the new sand table became more and more urgent.
Although Cheng Yaojin and the others were not speaking out of their identity as Li Shimin, everyone's eyes shone at Li Anran and Sand Pan. It is estimated that if Li Shimin hadn't been present, Li Anran's identity was quite special, so they would have done it long ago.
In fact, Anran Li can also say more and more valuable content, such as establishing a military academy, and then using the new sand table and the generals and even veterans who have been fighting for a long time to cultivate a new generation of military talents.
Unfortunately, although Li Anran still did not intend to attack the Tang Dynasty after weighing the pros and cons. However, considering that he still had to develop in this time and space, if the Tang Dynasty developed too strongly, wouldn’t it be a shooting stone in the foot, so he didn’t say it.
If it weren't for the fact that the sand table appeared in the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin and the others could see something. Li Anran didn't even intend to tell the story of the new sand table and military chess.
Anyway, the Tang Dynasty was originally powerful in history, otherwise it would not have created the prosperous era of Zhenguan. What's more, the Tang Dynasty is now stronger than the one in history. The huge improvement in agriculture alone is enough to support a stronger military force in a direction. Even if these are not mentioned, it will not have any adverse impact on the development of the Tang Dynasty.
Fortunately, I have said it, and regret is meaningless. In addition, Li Anran originally planned to throw out some good things appropriately and continue to maintain a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty. Of course, it would be even better if this relationship could go further.
Therefore, after seeing the eyes of the famous generals led by Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin looking at him full of desire, Li Anran did not hide it, but continued: "In fact, this sand table is not only limited to the needs of wartime."
"Oh? I hope to hear it carefully." Li Shimin, who was originally longing for someone to take out the new sand table, was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then pressed the ecstasy in his heart and asked barely calmly.
"Although the Sand Table can be used for virtual deduction, it really means that this thing has many uses. For example, the Ministry of Works has a sand table in terms of building and maintaining cities, major transportation roads, rivers, etc. With this sand table, it is easy to have an intuitive understanding."
"At that time, whether it is repairing or renovating a local area, or planning the entire city, roads, and rivers, isn't it more convenient than before to rely on so-called data, and it is not easy to make mistakes."
I really didn't expect that the sand table, which has always been used for military purposes, would have any other uses. But after hearing what he said just now, the eyes of Li Shimin and a group of historical generals suddenly became brighter.
The old saying goes well, it is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to defend the world.
Although Li Shimin has already been on the throne of Emperor Tang, and after a series of government orders and various arrangements after taking office, this position has become more and more firm, as an emperor, he will still have a headache about building the Tang Dynasty.
But according to what Li Anran just said, a city and a river can be planned with a sand table. What about a continent? One road? Even the entire Tang Dynasty, can it also be planned with a sand table?
At that time, wouldn’t you have to worry about not knowing the following situation? Once something goes wrong, you just need to deduce it based on the information on the corresponding sand table. Can you find out the real situation in the local area and reduce the behavior of lying and concealing it?
Once war starts again, wouldn’t it be better to plan and win a thousand miles away?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's look at someone was even more "wrong".
"Real person, I don't know what kind of sand table you are talking about? Can it be..." Although he didn't finish speaking, the meaning of Li Shimin's words was clear at a glance. Cheng Yaojin and others on the side were also looking at someone with anticipation.
Facing the eyes of these innocent men who seemed to be the grey wolf when they saw the Pleasant Goat, Li Anran was really a little uneasy. There was no way, the feeling of being surrounded by "pack of wolves" was too graceful, which really made people feel creepy.
"Sage, I don't have enough things on hand to make the sand table in the upper realm, and I can't make it." Li Anran, who spread his hands and looked regretful, said.
"This..." Faced with such an answer, the expressions of the ancient people, including Li Shimin, suddenly collapsed.
Seeing that a group of famous Tang generals and dignified Tang emperors were "teased" by themselves, Li Anran, who satisfied his own evil taste, said: "However, although I can't make that kind of sand table, I can use some of the existing things to make a simplified version."
"Great kindness! True man, what do you need but it's okay to say it, I'm responding!" Li Shimin, who had just been sent to hell from heaven and now saw Li Shimin returning to the hope of the world, quickly patted his chest and said.
Li Anran, who had originally planned to throw out the bait in exchange for some benefits, pointed and said, "There is no need for anything special. Some sand, some wood, and some thatch that are the same as those in the sand tray. Besides, some water is added. By the way, if there is cement, you can also get a little, and if there is a carving knife, you can also get a handful."
Li Shimin, who originally thought he needed something extraordinary, saw that it was just some ordinary items, but he didn't ask much questions while wondering. With a wave of his hand, he handed over the matter to Cheng Yaojin, who was the master's family, to do it.
I have to admit that the efficiency of the big family is really unspeakable. There was not much work left, and all the things that Li Anran wanted were sent to this room.
After the things were all arrived, Li Anran was not polite and flattened the original sand table. Then he recalled the terrain of his own villa to the south gate of Chang'an City in his mind. It took a while before he started to take action.
With the original sand table at the bottom, Li Anran easily formed the area of Chang'an City, Xiaoyao Villa, Commercial Street, and Gewu Academy with clear water and sand, and even pulled out the riverbed.
After the sand table had a rough look, Li Anran took out the fine grass that was obviously just picked and laid out the woods, grasslands and other environments in her memory. Although the materials were relatively simple, the effect was still clear at a glance.
In addition, Li Anran also used a carving knife to roughly carve the wood delivered a few times, then cut it down, put it on the sand table. Although it was just roughly carved, Li Shimin and the others could still see pavilions, pavilions, bridges, houses and other buildings at a glance.
