The liveliness of the Go dojo was unexpected.
In Japan, Go has been given too much sacred connotation, so that many people who are interested in Go but have not received formal learning dare not touch Go easily.
The Japanese Chess Academy has given Go too many constraints and too many levels.
It even gives ordinary people the feeling that playing chess carelessly is a blasphemy against Go.
At the Honinbo Go Dojo, there are no restrictions. Even people who have never touched Go can try it out for themselves.
The dojo is also equipped with specialized teachers who are responsible for learning Go for people at different stages.
Players with different levels of chess will also be assigned opponents of the same level so that both of them can make progress together.
Honinbo Go Dojo aims to break down the barriers of Japanese Go in people’s hearts and make Go more approachable.
In the past, such a Go dojo might have been faced with many difficulties due to the obstruction of the chess academy.
Now that the Japanese Chess Academy has lost to the Tang Dynasty chess players, many things have happened that make the Japanese people lose face.
The status of the chess academy among the people has declined rapidly, which has even made some chess players feel dissatisfied.
The Honinbo Go Dojo has even issued a slogan, which is to train a new generation of chess players to challenge the Tang Dynasty. The loss of the chess academy does not mean that Japan has lost the game of Go.
With such slogans stimulating, the atmosphere for private chess learning has become more enthusiastic, and many children want to learn chess in the Go dojo for a long time.
The Tang Dynasty caravan said that it must be self-sufficient, and the tea in this Go dojo was Datang tea brought by the caravan as a special supply.
It is said to be a Go dojo, but in fact, under Bai Song's secret manipulation, it already had the prototype of a teahouse.
Tea is not expensive, but it changes people's living habits invisibly.
This is a double-edged sword. It not only promotes Go, but also promotes tea from the Tang Dynasty.
Just a few days after the third round of chess, it seems that the first Go dojo can no longer meet the daily demand for hospitality.
Bai Song has recovered from his injuries, and taking advantage of the opportunity, he is preparing to open a second and third Go dojo branch in other parts of Kyoto.
Accompanied by Bai Rou, Bai Song took to the streets for the first time in a few days.
The Honinbo Go Dojo was actually fully funded by Bai Song, but he was inconvenient to disclose it and could only operate it silently behind the scenes.
After all, the Japanese people's feelings towards the Go dojo must also be taken into consideration.
In the past few days, Bai Song was completely relaxed and ignored unnecessary things. Bai Rou took over his brother's work, and Bai Rou decided everything.
On the way to the Go Dojo, Bai Song asked about the recent situation.
The Chess Academy noticed the existence of the Go Dojo and seemed to be planning some actions.
Ji Zi never appeared in front of Bai Song again, and there seemed to be no movement in Donghuang Pavilion.
On the contrary, the second prince and the eldest prince of the Japanese royal family both wanted to approach Bai Song, but they were rejected by Bai Rou on the grounds that they did not give an explanation for the pirate incident.
The third prince has been staying in Bieyuan with the caravan. This man can avoid Bai Song, but there is nothing wrong with him.
Life in Japan seems to have become much duller because of three games of chess.
Bai Song nodded and didn't say much. No matter what the various forces in Japan wanted to do, he was waiting to take action. Since no one made any move, Bai Song focused all his attention on his own plan. superior.
When we arrived at the Go Dojo, there were tables, chairs and benches even outside. They were all serious about playing chess, and no one paid any attention to the guests coming and going.
The scene was more lively than Bai Song imagined, and the location of the dojo was also good. It covered an area of nearly ten acres, which was about the same size as the Chess Academy. It was filled with cherry blossom trees, and it was now the envoy of the cherry blossoms blooming.
Placing a pot of tea and playing a game of chess under the cherry blossom tree seems particularly poetic.
Bai Song came to visit for the first time. He was very satisfied with everything here. After wandering around in a hurry, Xiaokui discovered Bai Song.
"Sir, why are you here?"
"I heard from your grandpa that the current dojo is no longer enough to meet the needs of customers. I'm here to discuss with him about opening the next branch."
Xiaokui nodded: "Then I'll call grandpa over."
With that said, Xiaokui went to the dojo.
The old apprentice Mu Zhi looked radiant. He had his own Go career and looked ten years younger.
When Mu Zhi saw Bai Song, he invited Bai Song to an unmanned room in the dojo.
When there was no one around, Mu Zhi was a little excited and wanted to kneel down to Bai Song.
"What are you doing?" Bai Song was a little surprised.
Mu Zhilao's eyes were dim: "Thanks to my little master, I have an apprentice today. The apprentice thought that he would never be able to play chess in this life, but he didn't expect that now he can play chess every day, and he also has a group of disciples who really want to learn chess. These It’s all thanks to little master’s help.”
"Hmph..." Bai Song snorted coldly, but he was pretending to be serious, "Now don't you consider that I am from the Tang Dynasty and came to Japan with an unknown purpose?"
Mu Zhi lowered his head and felt a little ashamed: "My little master is right, Go does not distinguish between nationalities. As long as Go can be promoted, we cannot refuse change."
"Get up. I also have a personal purpose. I don't want you to help me sell tea. Now the dojo can no longer accommodate more people. Our next store and more stores need to be prepared."
Mu Zhi stood up, took out a map of Kyoto, and was about to show Bai Song the locations he had chosen to open a store.
Bai Song didn't look at it and said directly: "I have already chosen the location of the next store."
"Have you chosen?"
Bai Song nodded seriously.
Bai Rou was a little surprised: "Brother, when did you choose it?"
"On our way here."
"What is that place?"
"If I remember correctly, there is a sign for the Chess Academy in a prime location on the main street of Kyoto."
Xiaokui thought for a while and then interjected: "That is the place where chess players first try out to enter the chess academy."
“Our second store opened right next to that.”
"What?" Mu Zhi opened his mouth in surprise, "Open next to the Chess Courtyard?"
Xiaokui also frowned.
Isn't this a door-to-door provocation?
Originally, their Go dojo was opened privately without being restricted by the chess academy. If it were not for this special period, the chess academy would definitely come to suppress it.
Now that the Chess Yuan has not come to trouble them, they are eager to provoke the Chess Yuan. Will something happen?
"You don't have to worry. There will definitely be a conflict between you and Qi Yuan. Since it is inevitable, why not let the conflict break out earlier? This will save a lot of trouble."
"The Chess Academy is protected by Donghuang Pavilion, but we have no foundation at all."
"Your foundation is me." Bai Song pointed at himself, "In short, everything is subject to my arrangements. Now is a good opportunity to break the situation."
Seeing that Bai Song was already paying attention, Mu Zhi could only bite the bullet and agree. After all, the current dojo was all financed and supported by the young master, and he couldn't say anything.
