Chapter 256
Ten seconds later...
Su Chen didn't answer, Princess Changle raised her head and looked at Su Chen.
Princess Changle was familiar with Su Chen's behavior, and had done so before.
He must be thinking about something.
Therefore, Princess Changle looked at Su Chen quietly and didn't disturb him.
About five minutes later...
Su Chen smiled faintly and patted the desk lightly.
Princess Changle was frightened.
"Li Zhi, have someone find Li Tai!"
Princess Changle immediately stood up and walked straight out of the study without asking why.
Su Chen picked up a blank card and imagined what he wanted.
"Haha, it's done!"
"So this is the real purpose of this special paper!"
"Damn, playing cards?"
"I'm stupid!"
However, Su Chen then thought of a problem.
The Tang Dynasty did not have the Gregorian calendar, and usually used the reign titles of successive emperors to record the years.
"Hiss! It's not easy to solve!"
Su Chen touched his chin and thought about the solution.
"Let's wait for smart people to come and discuss it together."
Princess Changle walked out of the living room and asked Ma Han to find Li Tai, and then returned to the study.
"Su Chen, I asked Ma Han to find the fourth brother. Did you think of something?"
Su Chen nodded, "Yes, I have something to ask him."
"Can you tell me what it is?" Princess Changle was still very curious.
Su Chen was a little embarrassed. He didn't trust Princess Changle very much now.
He thought that Changle was just like himself, not very reliable.
"Uh, okay."
"Let me ask you first, for example, in the eighth year of Daye, what other ways can be used to express it besides the reign title?"
Princess Changle blinked her eyes and didn't understand what Su Chen meant at first.
"Oh, oh, wait a minute and I'll count."
Then, Princess Changle lowered her head and picked her fingers like she did last time when solving math problems.
After a few seconds, Princess Changle looked up and answered:
"The eighth year of Daye can also be called the year of Renshen, right?"
Su Chen could understand that the year of Renshen was the ancient method of recording years by the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, but he could not calculate it.
"What about the third year of Kaihuang?"
Princess Changle picked her fingers and calculated again, and soon she figured it out.
"The year of Guimao, right?"
Su Chen was very curious about how Princess Changle calculated it. Was she just guessing?
"Excuse me, how did you calculate it?"
"It's very simple! The second year of Zhenguan is the year of Wuzi, and you can just work backwards."
Princess Changle showed a teasing look on her face and asked:
"Su Chen, you don't know the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, do you?"
"Uh~"
Su Chen was speechless...
Just at this time, Li Tai came to the study.
"Su Chen, what delicious food do you have to share with me!"
As soon as Li Tai entered the study, he smelled a very unique fragrance, which was very fascinating.
Therefore, he guessed that Su Chen must have specially invited him to taste the delicious food, and he just happened to have not had lunch yet.
He was instantly moved.
"Fourth brother, listen to me, Su Chen actually doesn't know the calendar of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches."
Princess Changle said to Li Tai in shock, and at the same time expected Li Tai's shocked expression.
In the eyes of Princess Changle, this was a very incredible thing.
Su Chen was a little embarrassed when Princess Changle said this.
What surprised Princess Changle was that Li Tai was not shocked at all.
"What's the fuss about this." Li Tai said calmly.
Immediately, he moved a chair and sat down.
Just saw the little noodle soup left by Princess Changle after eating instant noodles on the desk.
"Su Chen, what is this meal?"
"That's instant noodles, but there is no more now. I'll give it to you to try later."
Li Tai stared at Su Chen for a few seconds and nodded.
He knew in his heart that Su Chen would not deceive him.
"What were you talking about just now?"
Princess Changle answered first: "Su Chen just asked me if there are other ways to record years besides the reign title, and then I said the stem-branch record."
Li Tai nodded when he heard it, and looked at Su Chen without saying anything.
He picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches.
"You should have heard of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, right?"
Su Chen nodded.
Li Tai asked again: "The heavenly stems and earthly branches are divided into yin and yang, you should know that?"
"Single is yang, double is yin."
"Have you heard of the sixty-one Jiazi?"
Su Chen immediately answered, "I know Jiazi, and the age of sixty refers to a sixty-year-old man."
Li Tai nodded and continued:
"The origin of Jiazi comes from here. The ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches, yang against yang, yin against yin, are matched in pairs, exactly sixty pairs.
The first pair is Jiazi, which repeats over and over again."
Then, Li Tai was very considerate and wrote down all the heavenly stems and earthly branches., exactly sixty groups.
Jiazi is the first and Guihai is the last.
"Please study it carefully. If you don't understand, just ask me." After writing it, Li Tai handed it to Su Chen.
Su Chen nodded and took it. After thinking about it, he calculated that the first year of Wude was the year of Wuyin.
"The first year of Wude is the year of Wuyin?"
"That's right!"
Su Chen suddenly asked, "What year, month and day were you born?"
"The 20th day of the first month of the year of Renshen."
"The 28th day of the ninth month of the year of Guiyou."
Immediately, Su Chen took out a blank card.
After a while, a second-generation ID card of Li Tai and Li Lizhi appeared in Su Chen's hand.
And Su Chen himself.
"Okay, okay, hahaha...
Brother is also a person of status!"
Li Tai and Princess Changle looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
"Here, your ID cards!"
Su Chen handed them two second-generation ID cards.
The national emblem is replaced by the flag of the Tang Dynasty, and the ID card number is not available for the time being, because the administrative district numbers have not yet been set for the various prefectures of the Tang Dynasty.
The other formats are exactly the same as the second-generation ID card.
Li Tai took a look at it and was not curious about the ID card.
But he was shocked by Su Chen's fairy-like skills.
Li Tai did not see Su Chen paint just now, so why did his "photo" appear on this card.
Li Tai suddenly stood up and asked in shock.
"Su Chen, are you an immortal who has descended to the earth?"
Li Tai had sufficient reason to suspect that Su Chen was an immortal, because Su Chen did not even understand some basic common sense of the Tang Dynasty.
But the people of the Tang Dynasty also could not understand what he did.
So Li Tai now thinks that Su Chen is an immortal.
"Alas! Since you have discovered it, I will not hide it from you.
I am the immortal Wuchen from the immortal world who has descended to the earth.
A mere mortal, you don't kneel down when you see this immortal!"
Su Chen nodded seriously and shouted at Li Tai.
"Tsk!"
"Fourth brother, just watch, I can do it too!"
Princess Changle saw Su Chen's charlatan look and picked up a blank card.
After a while, she conjured up Li Zhi and Xiao Sizi's ID cards.
Li Tai quickly grabbed it and looked at it carefully.
After a moment, he looked at Princess Changle and then at Su Chen.
There was a long silence...
Suddenly, Li Tai seemed to have thought of something and stared at the ID card for a long time.
"Su Chen, only you and Li Zhi can perform such a method?"
Li Tai also thought of using this as an 'ID card' at this time.
It's just that the name is different.
They call it 'photo sticker'.
