Three Kingdoms: Do you want me to get out of here? Liu Bei, you wait

Chapter 171: Qilin Newspaper, Card Collection and Lottery? The mechanism of the conspiracy, Sun Quan is confused

Look at how exhausted he is.

Zhou Yu immediately laughed and said.

"Xingba is here to tell us the good news too? Hahaha, no need for that. You are a step too late."

"Yes, Zhou Lang has already told me about this news. However, Xingba has devoted himself to the country this time. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard."

Sun Quan came back to his senses and thought of what Zhou Yu had just said, about Gan Ning besieging Cao's small boats at night.

He walked up and patted the other person on the shoulder, his face full of relief.

The way he spoke this time seemed to be as if he wanted to reward people based on their achievements right away.

And look at the reactions of the two.

Gan Ning's face was completely confused.

After coming back to his senses, he said anxiously.

"Merit? Hard work?"

"What do you mean, Grand Commander, Lord Wu? This is a very urgent matter, why should you be happy?"

"!!?"

"Xingba, what do you mean by that? Aren't you here for the matter of Cao's warships on the Nanxu River?"

"no."

“I came here for the newspaper!”

"newspaper?"

"This is a new item that the talented Qilin has invented in Jiangdong. Don't you know about it yet?"

Gan Xingba said.

He immediately took out the inaugural issue of Qilin Press and placed it in front of everyone.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this.

Especially Zhou Yu, after coming to his senses, he immediately rushed forward.

He picked up the newspaper in front of him and started flipping through it.

Sun Quan followed closely behind.

After quickly scanning the above content.

I couldn't help but sigh as I looked up.

"What a talented man... I thought he had stayed indoors the past few days since he came to Nanxu. He knew he had been tricked and there was nothing he could do to save himself, so he gave up on himself.

I didn't expect that he would use such a method in secret."

When he spoke, his excitement was gone, and instead his words contained a hint of frustration and dejection.

However, Zhou Yu clearly held a different opinion on this matter.

"But my lord, this is also a good thing for us."

"Good thing?"

“Can this be considered a good thing?”

Sun Quan was surprised.

I never expected Zhou Yu to say that.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu nodded calmly and added.

"of course."

"My lord, look at the material of this paper and the words on it. Haven't you noticed yet? The genius Qilin has mastered a new method of making paper! This alone is worth a fortune!"

"It is indeed worth a fortune, but is now the time to discuss this?"

Sun Quan frowned and reminded.

"Although we have strictly guarded this talented scholar and made him stay at home, the newspapers have spread all over Southern Xu. I am afraid that everyone knows that Sun Quan is going to marry his sister.

We agreed that this was just a plan! What should I do now? Do you really want me to marry my sister off?"

As a senior sister control.

Sun Xiaomei is the apple of his eye.

Naturally, he was not happy to let her marry Su Chen like this.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yu hurriedly comforted him.

"Not really, not really, my lord."

“Even if Su Chen has the ability to distribute this newspaper all over the city overnight, it will be useless.

After all, there are still only a few people who can read these days, and the more educated they are, the more they know the interests involved and will not spread rumors."

Zhou Yu had an expression that showed he had everything under control.

Gan Xingba, who was standing next to him, had a strange look on his face after hearing this.

He coughed twice and reminded again.

"No, Governor, most ordinary people know about this now."

"Ordinary people also know about this? How is it possible?"

"Xingba, stop talking nonsense. You were deceived by that genius. Who would be interested in the contents of such a newspaper?"

Zhou Yu frowned and said seriously.

Gan Xingba said helplessly, "Really? How dare I lie to the Grand Commander and the Marquis of Wu about this matter? They are indeed not interested in this newspaper, but they are very interested in the lottery event."

"Password? Card collection and lottery?"

"What do you mean?" "Xingba, can't you just say everything in one breath?"

"That's right. How can such an important matter be discussed twice?"

After hearing this, both of them were stunned.

He then turned to look at Gan Xingba in front of him, his eyes filled with a hint of resentment.

Gan Ning bowed and stopped defending himself.

Instead, he revealed all of Su Chen's subsequent outrageous actions.

It turned out that establishing the Qilin Press and distributing the newspaper with the news of Sun Quan's sister's marriage throughout Southern Xu was just the beginning.

What’s important is that Qilin Newspaper also announced a lucky draw later.

It was clearly stated that every copy of the first issue sold would come with a special card with a password.

As long as you collect all the passwords, you can successfully receive 10 taels of gold from Qilin Newspaper as a reward.

And the password is nothing else.

It was exactly the eight characters "Marquis Wu marries his sister, Su Chen marries his wife".

What is the most tempting thing in the world?

It is naturally a 'pie in the sky', a chance to get rich quickly.

It was seen that someone actually successfully took away ten taels of gold from the "Qilin Newspaper" by collecting eight cards.

How could others sit still?

Regardless of whether they could read or not, everyone rushed over and started grabbing newspapers.

For a time, paper was in great demand in Luoyang.

It wasn’t just Kirin Newspapers that sold out its first issue.

The most important thing is that these eight characters "Marquis Wu marries his sister, Su Chen marries his wife" were deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of Nanxu and even Jiangdong.

From the eighty-year-old man to the eight-year-old child, everyone knows it clearly.

Listen to what Gan Xingba said.

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, who had just been puzzled, were naturally dumbfounded.

This really thought that Su Chen would do something fancy.

No one could have imagined that his operation could be so amazing.

The key point is that you want to find fault with Su Chen because of this.

There is no way.

Because they were very polite throughout the whole process, even the lucky draw was done in the name of thanking Wu Hou for his kindness.

In plain words, it means that we are honored by the Marquis of Wu.

So some gold was given to the people of Jiangdong in advance, just as wedding candy or welfare.

Sun Quan was given a high hat throughout the whole process.

As a result, Sun Quan didn't dare to make trouble about this matter.

Otherwise, let alone Xuchang.

Even in Jiangdong, it is difficult to convince the people.

This is the ultimate in overt conspiracy.

"This... can you still play like this?"

"It's just a hundred taels of gold. You broke the trap we set up for half a month without any effort?"

At this moment, even Zhou Yu couldn't help but look up and sigh.

At this moment.

He once again experienced the fear of being dominated by a talented person.

But he still had some thoughts and feelings.

Sun Quan beside him could no longer sit still and said.

"Is this the time to talk about this?"

"Gongjin! All the people in Nanxu know about it. My little sister and the old queen... I'm afraid they all know about it too."

Zhou Yu came back to his senses.

When I heard this, my scalp started tingling.

After a while, he could only cough twice, with a helpless look on his face.

"Now that things have come to this... I can only speak openly to the old queen.

It's better to hear this plan from us than from others.

The old Queen Mother has always been loyal to the country and considerate of the overall situation. I think... ahem, I think she will understand the difficulties we and the Marquis of Wu are facing."

Be loyal to the country and take the overall situation into consideration...

You said that so easily.

It seems that the one who gets scolded later won't be you.

Look at Zhou Yu, he looks like it has nothing to do with him.

Sun Quan felt angry.

After thinking about it again, he came up with an idea and grabbed Zhou Yu's hand.

"Alright! In that case, Gongjin, you will go with me to pay respect to the old Queen Mother."
