Cheng Yu took a small sip of tea and smiled: "Wenruo, where did you get such a good and excellent tea? It's rare to see it here."

After hearing this, Xun Yu thought that even if the merchants made by Lu Ning came here to sell, there would be a consumer group. Of course, there would be no one here. "It was all given by Lu Ning when I was in Jinyang. I had the money to buy it. I couldn't afford it with my own income, and I couldn't afford it. This kind of tea is sold for ten silver coins in a shopping supermarket in Jinyang City."

After hearing this, Xun You asked in confusion: "Wenruo, why don't I know what shopping supermarket is in Jinyang City? What kind of place is it? I haven't heard of it when I went to Jinyang before?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "It was a place to buy things in recent years, which was opened by Lu Ning's wife. It has luxurious decorations and a large area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. It is sold in all kinds of things. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of varieties, which is very grand. When people go to the shopping supermarket to buy things, they go in and choose them themselves, pick them up whatever they want, and finally pay at the exit."

Dong Zhao asked in confusion: "Wenruo and Lu Ning also asked his wife to show up in public and open a shop, so he was not afraid of scholars saying that he was, and his officials did not care about his behavior. He was a magistrate and his wife was also very noble. He showed up in public all day long. What kind of words would be a shame for him!"

Xun Yu said: "What's the matter? Lu Ning's practices are contrary to the ancient teachings and etiquette. But I think the officials under his command do not object, and they are quite supportive. Even Fengxiao and others took out their money to Lu Ning's wife named Zhen Mi to help make money. Lu Ning didn't care about these things, but they were not allowed to betray the law and pay the tax as required. Otherwise, even Lu Ning's own wife would be punished, let alone the officials."

Liu Ye asked, "Wenruo, you are also given to you by Xiao and others. There are no such good tea-drinking utensils in our jurisdiction. These are all fine utensils and very exquisitely made."

Xun Yu said: "Yes, they all gave me filial piety and Changwen."

Cao Cao said: "Wenruo, let's take out some dictionary first and let us take a look. I'm so anxious. What kind of book is it that surprised Wenruo and admire him?"

After hearing this, Xun Yu went into the house and took out the "Chinese Dictionary" given to him by Guo Jia, and respectfully handed it to Cao Cao. When Lao Cao read the book, he read the book with Lu Ning's invention, edited by Guan Ning, Cai Yong and others. While Lao Cao was reading the book, his expression appeared with surprise expressions on his face.

As he looked at Lao Cao, he suddenly said, "It's so magical. I don't know how Lu Ning came up with it. It's really unbelievable. Lu Ning is a talented person, I'm better."

The civil servants under Cao Cao took turns to watch, and after watching, they were stunned, speechless, and looked surprised. They said they didn't believe that there would be such a magical method in the world, and they couldn't imagine how Lu Ning came up with it. This incredible method was actually a masterpiece of people who could not read big words. This made them, such great scholars, feel very uncomfortable and dare not believe it.

After reading it, Xu You said, "Wen Ruo, this book does not seem to be written by hand, but the handwriting is very similar to the handwriting of the great scholar Cai Yong. What's going on?"

Xun Yu asked helplessly: "I heard from Fengxiao and others that Lu Ning and Ma Jun invented a movable type printing method that can print books, saying that they can print tens of thousands of copies a day. The Jincheng Daily in their place has to print tens of thousands of copies every day, and other newspapers and magazines also use this method to print them."

Xun You said: "Yes, Lu Ning and his "Qingzhou Daily" is published every day, and one or two pure copper coins are sold to everyone. The content published is not restricted. Anything you want to say is fine. Even if you can comment on Big Xiong and others' policies and regulations, and you dare to expose the pros and cons to officials and the government. It is completely free, and as long as you do it is not illegal."

Ren Jun said: "What does it look like? Jincheng Daily? I heard many people say it, but I really haven't seen it."

Xun Yu took out a few more copies of the Jincheng Daily to watch for everyone. Cao Hong said while reading: "There is also a product introduction."

Xun Yu said: "That's called an advertisement in Bingzhou. I heard from them that manufacturers and merchants spend hundreds of silver coins every time they publish. It's not published by manufacturers and merchants."

Cheng Yu said: "That merchants and manufacturers all voluntarily paid for publication? Could it be that Lu Ning ordered a forced levy, right?"

After hearing this, Xun Yu shook his head and said, "No, it's all merchants, and the manufacturers are willing to pay for the publication. Guan Ning said that their advertisements cannot be published at all, and there are many manufacturers. The merchants take the initiative to ask for more money to publish them in advance."

Dong Zhao said: "Then Guan Ning and the others are not very profitable."

Xun Yu said: "Yes, I heard that when I first prepared, I lost money and rely on the financial support of the government office. Later, Lu Ning taught them how to make a lot of money after doing market-oriented actions."

Cao Cao was depressed. It was hard to understand how people who could not read big words could come up with these methods. "Who is Lu Ning? He can lead troops to fight, Wen Neng'an helps govern the country, and writes peerless works. He is so proficient in business and understands strange and lustful skills. It's really strange."

Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, Lu Ning is illiterate, but he is keen in thinking, can accommodate talents, and can pay more attention to talents, and give full play to the role of talents. He himself likes delicious food, is curious to dress up in strange clothes, and is better at those strange and lewd skills, is not subject to any customs and rules, and is not bound by any court laws, court rules, and etiquette. He is a person who does his own things, no matter how the world discusses him, he is a weird person, and I can't see through him."

Cheng Yu said depressedly: "A person who doesn't even know the word "big shoulder pole" actually manages Bingzhou so well. I really can't believe that this is true. Then we are not just reading books, classics, history, and collections of books."

Xun Yu said: "Lord, let's go to the table. Let's drink and chat. Please sit down."

After everyone sat down, they raised their glasses and took a sip. Xu Zhu said, "Wenruo, this is the first time I have drunk such a good wine. What a peerless wine. Why is the fairy wine I have drunk before that is not as good as this?"

Xun Yu said: "I heard from Fengxiao and others that this is a treasure of 'Xianjiu'. It was just launched and sold thousands of taels of gold per jar. This wine is only sold in the jurisdiction of Lu Ning, and only one thousand jars are produced per month. In Bingzhou, there are in short supply. Fengxiao and others only drink some ordinary 'Xianjiu'. This wine must be consumed when distinguished guests come."

After hearing this, Cao Hong said loudly: "Wenruo, do you think the civil and military officials under Lu Ning usually drink 'fairy wine'? No, 'fairy wine' is also very expensive, so how can you drink it every day."

Xun Yu said: "What's the matter? In Bingzhou, even ordinary people can drink 'immortal wine', and they can afford it. What's the big fuss? The wealth of the people in Bingzhou is not something that everyone can imagine."

Xia Houdun said: "Lord, we should grow stronger as soon as possible, so as to fight Lu Ning in the future, and rob him of money, and so good wine and supplies. It is really jealous. If we possess Bingzhou, then the things under Lu Ning will not belong to us. Who else in the world dares to mess with us at that time?"

Cao Cao sternly said: "Don't talk nonsense. It's so easy to have the idea of ​​beating Lu Ning."

Cheng Yu said: "Gongda, Wenruo, you both have been to Bingzhou. How do you think we will develop? How many years will it take to catch up with the Big Bear?"

Cao Cao also asked: "Yes Gongda, Wenruo, how many years will we have to develop to catch up with Lu Ning."

Xun Yu said: "My lord, it is not easy to catch up with Lu Ning. We are too restricted and dare not act like Lu Ning, nor dare to disobey the court and the law. Besides, even if we implement policies and regulations like Lu Ning, we cannot catch up. Unless we have the support of Lu Ning, it is unlikely that this is a whim."

Cao Cao said: "How is this possible if Lu Ning supports us?"

Xun Yu said: "Lord, Lu Ning will not give us too much time to develop. It will be a matter of time before the battle between us and Lu Ning. The lord should prepare for war early. It is not possible to rely on others. The iron must rely on himself. Only by being strong can we survive, otherwise the only thing waiting for us will be destruction."
