When the popularity of the newspaper was in the ascendant, the Keju Tournament was ready, and with the construction of the venue, coupled with Wu Liren's vigorous publicity, more and more people have expressed their desire to see the Keju Competition.

This Keju tournament adopts a knockout system, random grouping, two pairs of battles, two games a day, and it only takes half a month to end the game. And these players, after Gao Yu started practicing according to the rules newly formulated by Wu Liren, so they can be regarded as roughly mastering the rules of the game.

At the beginning of the first game, there were thousands of onlookers, all looking forward to this grand Keju competition.

With the sound of the order, the players on both sides began to run wildly, and Keju was also flying around the field. Less than two minutes later, one side's goal was beaten by the opposing side.

Wu Liren shook his head, smiled, and continued to watch, only to realize that something was wrong, and the two sides started a big battle against each other, constantly scoring goals. Wu Liren has not yet set the concept of offside in the game, so it is common to see players from both sides rushing up and running around Keju together, so when one side attacks, the other side cannot defend at all.

After the first half of the first game, the score of the game was fixed at 11:10, which was jaw-dropping, and the football score was kicked into a table tennis score, which was also the first time in history, right? If the prize money is paid according to the goal, I don't know how much money will be paid in this game.

However, the response of the audience was indeed very impressive, shouting and screaming and cheering, as if they were more excited than they were kicking themselves. Kemari has always existed, but there has never been such a competitive nature. What's more, so many people watched the game together, which also made the people of Xiapi completely discover the excitement of this game.

"Uncle, today's game has begun, have you placed another bet?"

At this time, Lu Xun looked at Lu Fei, who was watching the game beside him, and said with a smile.

Lu Fei has always liked gambling, Lu Xun knows it, in the previous Wushu tournament in Xiapi, Lu Fei bought a lot of bets, although the result was not ideal, but Lu Fei's hobby was still retained.

"Of course I bought it, today I bought the Shenhua team."

These sixteen teams are all named by Wu Liren himself, although all the players don't know what these Shenhua and Shide mean by leading the troops, but they are not bad.

"That uncle's luck is not very good, Shenhua is still one point behind!"

Before the second half began, Lu Xun began to pour cold water, and Lu Fei snorted: "What do you know? Although Shenhua is lagging behind now, I think their physical strength is much better than Luneng's, and they will definitely be able to beat Luneng. ”

Lu Xun nodded, Lu Fei's vision is still good, although the Shenhua team is one point behind, it can be seen on the field that the physical strength of the Luneng team is indeed relatively large, if the second half is still so intense, Shenhua has a great chance of turning the tables.

"To be honest, watching them play so exciting, I want to go up and try it."

Lu Xun laughed, "Uncle, your strength is so great, if you accidentally kick someone and kill someone, it will be more than worth the loss!" ”

The one-day game was over quickly, although the game was very rough, many rules still needed to be slowly improved, and many details needed to be re-polished, but Wu Liren was already very satisfied with the popularity brought by this Keju competition. As for how it will develop in the future, Wu Liren is ready to defend and let Gao Yu get it, and he only needs to put forward some opinions and suggestions.

At this time in Yecheng, Liu Bei held the first "Da Zhou Times" issued by Wu Liren in his hand, frowned and finished reading "Asking Liu Bei" published in the newspaper, snorted coldly, handed it to Yao Guangxiao beside him, and asked him what he meant.

"This article is written with some literary style, Wang Cang is indeed a great talent." Yao Guangxiao said with a smile.

Liu Bei asked Yao Guangxiao to pass the newspaper down and show it to others, and at the same time asked, "Mr. Yao, do you know how much this newspaper is worth?" ”

Yao Guangxiao shook his head.

According to the report of the spy, the price of this "Da Zhou Times" has now been speculated to the point of thousands of dollars, and this king really can't figure out why this mere piece of paper is so expensive? Could it be that there is still some mystery hidden in it? ”

Although the text was impassioned, Liu Bei didn't care at all; It's just that he cares about the price of the paper. The war between the two sides, to put it bluntly, is a struggle for manpower and economy, if a newspaper of Wu Liren can be sold at such a price, it is really more powerful than turning a stone into gold.

"King Wei, don't worry, his subordinates think that Wu Liren's strange and obscene skills are unknown to the world, so they feel that it is fresh, and it will be so expensive. This kind of thing is like an antique, and it is rare to be expensive. If Wu Ming continues to print, the price will not be like this in the future. ”

Liu Bei smiled and nodded, at this time, Xu Shu frowned, stepped forward and said: "If Wu Ming can really promote such a thing, then Wu Ming's reputation will definitely be in the sky!" He only needs such a newspaper to get the hearts of the people of the world into his hands. ”

If the newspaper is published, it will spread all over the world at that time, and then Wu Liren will easily publicize all his good things, which is equivalent to mastering the power of public opinion.

"Yuan bluntly says it is reasonable! If you see the newspapers issued by Wu Ming in the future, they will all be burned and you will not be allowed to enter the country! Violators will be punished severely! ”

Liu Bei also realized that such a propaganda force would definitely affect the people under his rule, and if the people's hearts were scattered, he would really be finished.

"My subordinates have a word, please think twice about King Wei."

Liu Bei followed the prestige, it turned out to be Li Hongzhang, he smiled slightly, and motioned for him to continue.

"The so-called strange and obscene skills cannot wait for the hall of elegance; But this kind of technology, not only can print newspapers, but also print books, I'm afraid it won't be long, then under Wu Ming's rule, everyone can read, can be literate, so it seems that this kind of printing thaumaturgy will inevitably spread for thousands of years, can be said to have a far-reaching impact. Rather than taking it as a poison, why not let someone learn its mysteries and use them for my own use? ”

Li Hongzhang's words made Liu Bei suddenly realize, and nodded again and again: "Hongzhang's words are very reasonable, I don't know what the two military advisors think?" ”

Li Hongzhang's words did make several other people deeply agree, such a technology, even if Liu Bei used the strictest law to restrict, it was also more important to prevent the people than to prevent Sichuan, where could it be stopped. And if you can really learn how to print and make paper, you can not only use the same method to counter Wu Liren, but also make your rule develop rapidly.

"It's just that this technology, Wu Ming will definitely keep it strictly secret, so it must not be easy to learn it secretly now."

Xu Shu's words, everyone can also understand, this kind of thing will definitely be top secret.

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "As long as people participate, then we must be able to find a breakthrough, because people have desires." ”

"Da Zhou Times" returned to Liu Bei's hands again, he squeezed it hard, and secretly said in his heart: Newspaper, newspaper!

And at this time, in Qingzhou, Donglai County, Yangqiu Mountain.

There is a bandit's cottage on Yangqiu Mountain, and the current leader of the village is Mu Guiying, who was born before, and he also holds a copy of the "Great Zhou Times" in his hand.

"Sun Erniang, this is the treasure you said is worth ten thousand gold?"

Mu Guiying frowned, very displeased, before Sun Erniang reported to her that now a merchant passed by with a treasure worth 10,000 gold, so Sun Erniang intercepted it at the bottom of the mountain, but there was only such a newspaper all over the body, which made Mu Guiying feel a little deceived.

"The owner of the village was angry, and his subordinates also heard that yes, but he didn't expect that there was only this thing. Rong subordinates woke up the merchant and tortured him. ”

Then Sun Erniang splashed a big scoop of water to wake up the unlucky businessman, the merchant opened his eyes, and saw the fierce thief beside him, he was frightened, and then quickly got up and knelt down and shouted: "The king spares his life!" What a man spares his life! Heroes spare their lives! ”

Sun Erniang was reprimanded by Mu Guiying, and she was in a very bad mood, she took out a knife in her hand, swung it at the merchant, put it on his neck, and yelled: "Tell me, where did you put your treasure worth ten thousand gold?" ”

The merchant replied tremblingly, "I, I, I don't know, my lord...... I've been carrying it with me since the beginning......"

But before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the newspaper in Mu Guiying's hand, and then his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "That, that, there, this is this "Big Week Times", this newspaper that the villain spent all his money to buy!" King, give it back to the villain! ”

Sun Erniang and Mu Guiying both looked at the newspaper in disbelief, but the businessman didn't look like lying at all, even his life was in danger at this time, and he didn't forget to ask for the newspaper back, which shows how precious the newspaper is.

Mu Guiying got up, walked over with a newspaper, and said with a smile: "You just need to tell me, why is this newspaper so valuable, and I will return it to you, how about it?" ”

After hearing this, the merchant was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to Mu Guiying, and kept shouting: "Thank you, King!" ”

"Don't call me king, call me the lord of the village!"

"Yes, yes, king! The villain got it! This newspaper is called "Da Zhou Times", and it is from the Xia Pi of the king of Zhou. I heard that King Zhou had developed a printing technique that could produce printed paper products on a large scale, and this newspaper was also the first printed matter issued by King Zhou. There was a lot of news in the newspapers, and because it was a treasure of ingenuity, only 500 copies were printed, so it was very precious, and now it is even more difficult to find. The villain was originally from Liaodong, and when he heard about such a treasure, he scattered all his wealth and bought one, as long as he went back and dedicated it to the king of Liaodong, he would definitely be able to earn more money. ”

Mu Guiying only understood at this time why this small piece of paper was so valuable, she picked it up again and walked back, and the merchant was so frightened that he continued to beg after seeing it: "The king, you can't be untrustworthy!" ”

The Pu knife in Sun Erniang's hand suddenly hit the merchant's neck again, and said viciously: "If you dare to shout again, be careful of your head!" ”

Mu Guiying read all the words in the newspaper, and then laughed and said: "It turned out to be such a treasure, I didn't expect that this Wu Ming not only has the name of benevolence and righteousness, but also has so many wonderful ideas, he is really a strange person!" If you have time, you must go to Xiapi to see it yourself! ”

After speaking, he folded the newspaper a few times and threw it at the merchant, and at the same time said coldly: "Call me king again, I will definitely let you lie down and go out!" ”

The merchant picked up the newspaper and thanked him: "Thank you, big ......" The big characters have not yet been exported, and he quickly covered his mouth, and then changed his words: "Thank you to the owner of the village!" ”

"Hurry up and throw him down the mountain!"

Mu Guiying was thinking something in her heart at this time, and she didn't want to let the person in front of her annoy her anymore, at this time, Sun Erniang smiled and arched her hand and said, "Village master, why do you have to return the treasures you have arrived?" What we are doing is such a business, if it keeps like this, then the brothers will have to drink the northwest wind in the future! ”

Sun Erniang was a little puzzled by Mu Guiying's approach, this person was finally held by Sun Erniang, and it was really incomprehensible to put it like this.

"Leader Sun doesn't need to say much, I know it in my heart. This kind of treasure is actually not valuable in itself, just because it is a rare thing. If you put it in our hands, you won't be able to exchange anything for food and drink, so it's better to let him take it back. Besides, the merchant also said that this is something made by Wu Ming, the king of Zhou, and if you want it, there will definitely be a lot of it in the future. ”

Mu Guiying's words, although Sun Erniang was a little unconvinced, but after all, Mu Guiying was the owner of the village, and she couldn't say anything.

At this moment, another person suddenly ran in and shouted, "The owner of the village, take another person!" ”

Sun Erniang looked back, her face showed joy, she hurriedly greeted her, and said with a smile: "Dead ghost, you finally got someone, how much oil and water is there?" ”

It turned out that this person was Sun Erniang's husband, and it was also Zhang Qing, the vegetable garden child she carried out, Zhang Qing nodded, and said to Mu Guiying: "The owner of the village, my subordinates got a scholar this time, I wonder if the owner of the village wants to leave him behind?" ”

It turned out that among Mu Guiying's cottage, there were many people who were taken up by her from under the mountain, although she is now a coward, but she also knows that if she wants to survive, she needs a lot of talents, so Zhang Qing got a scholar, and she was also very happy.

"Bring him up to me!"

Mu Guiying smiled, very happy.

After a while, I saw several thieves walking in with a disheveled young man, and when Mu Guiying saw it, he immediately got up and scolded: "How can you be so rude to a scholar? Apologize to Mr. ”

The minions hurriedly arched their hands to the man and said, "Sir, don't blame a few of us, we are all acting on orders!" ”

Zhang Qing hurriedly asked a few of them to go down, just looking at the scholar: "Sir, this is the master of Mu Zhai, the master of Mu Zhai is now inviting heroes from all over the world, in order to achieve something great, I wonder if Mr. is willing to go up the mountain to join the gang and conspire for great things?" ”
