According to the statistics of the receiving cabinet, buyers from the capital - called lottery players according to Zhao Ran, accounted for one-third, South Zhili and Zhejiang accounted for another third, and the remaining one-third
Then in other provinces.
Pei Zhongze was a little regretful and was not very satisfied with his publicity work, but Li Dayin was very excited. He said with confidence: "When the sales in so many provinces are not ideal, the first issue can reach nearly 80,000, which is really unexpected.
My expectation, originally I didn’t dare to expect a sales amount of 100,000 per issue, but now it seems that the prospects are very optimistic. If it is done well in the future, it will be more than 100, 150, 000, or 200,000! It has never been a problem!
Have you ever thought that the people of Ming Dynasty are so wealthy!"
On the first day of October, the first round of the winter competition of the Xiuxianqiu Competition officially kicked off at the Yuanfu Palace Purple Mountain Xiuxian Stadium. Under the operation of Li Dayin, King Yu attended on behalf of the emperor. When he announced the opening of the competition, the whole place was filled with gongs and drums.
, colorful flags fluttered, and everyone cheered, which made the young prince feel great satisfaction, and his face flushed.
The competition starts with the Huang Guan group, followed by the Golden Elixir Mage, and finally the Archmage.
The first person to play was Yan Shifan, and his opponent was Su Junshang from Xianyuan Pavilion in Henan.
Zhu Xianjian, who was accompanying him, said to Yan Song, who was sitting in the VIP table and came all the way to watch his son's first battle: "Master Ge, don't worry, Shi Fan is good at this and has a greater chance of winning."
Yan Song looked calm, smoothed his beard and said with a smile: "Let's see, if we can win, it will be because the great master taught us well."
Facts have proved that Zhu Xianxian's prediction was correct. In the regular 18-hole match, Yan Shifan led the opponent by eight strokes and ended the match seven holes ahead of schedule. When he threw the club into the leather bag gracefully,
, the audience burst into applause and praise from thousands of people. Yan Shifan raised his head and looked around, couldn't help but stretch his arms, enjoying this honor, and seemed to have found the meaning of life for a moment.
Yan Song and Zhu Xianjian looked at each other and stood up and gave high fives at the same time.
King Yu was a little excited, pointing to the left and right of the field and saying: "What a good shot at the end! What a good shot!"
The first prince passed away in March this year. The emperor ordered King Yu and King Jing to study in the Wenhua Hall and were taught by Zhan Shifu. This actually showed that the next prince would be born between King Yu and King Jing. After one becomes the prince,
Another kingdom will come soon.
Zhao Ran summoned Zhang Juzheng, the chief secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion, who was accompanying King Yu, and quietly asked him about King Yu's daily life. Logically speaking, such questions could be asked by a real master like Chen Shandao, or by a great monk like Shao Yuanjie.
It's not easy to ask, even in the general Void Refining Realm. But what is the relationship between Zhao Ran and Zhang Juzheng? Zhang Juzheng explained it one by one.
After he finished speaking, he asked Zhao Ran: "Abbott, are you talking about King Yu's body and bones? He is indeed a little weak, and his waist and legs occasionally feel weak."
Zhao Ran nodded and said nothing. The emperor's heir is the most important person in the world. He cares about it casually when he sees it today. He doesn't have much thought. He just feels that under normal circumstances, with the body and bones of King Yu, I'm afraid it's...
The possibility of the prince is unlikely."
Zhang Juzheng said again: "Prince Yu, who is a thousand years old, still admires the abbot. If the abbot is free, he can go to Prince Yu's palace to preach to His Highness. At the same time, can you ask the abbot to diagnose and treat Prince Yu's health? After a while, His Highness may not be able to do this.
What a blessing."
In a few days, the emperor might announce a new heir, and King Yu will either enter the East Palace or leave the country. It will indeed be difficult to meet him. But what is the benefit of meeting King Yu? He glanced at Zhang Juzheng, who
Zhao Ran nodded slightly to him and understood a little bit.
Could it be that Gan Shu and others wanted to support King Yu in the East Palace? But what did they mean by inviting him? Do they already have the ability to intervene in the succession of the throne? Zhao Ran was not very confident in this and hesitated: "
Let’s see if we have time…”
The game continued. Sun Wenhu of Chongming Island drew with Zuo Zhicheng of Yongfu Hall. Both sides scored 49 strokes. Doctor Chu of Surabaya played against Jin Yuqiao of Xiangjishan. Doctor Chu won with a three-stroke advantage, making Jin Yuqiao, a beauty with a yellow crown, lose on the spot.
Tears provoked many people to shout that Mr. Chu did not know how to show mercy to women, which made Zhao Ran feel wronged by Dr. Chu. This is a competition, could he deliberately fail for the sake of showing love to women and cherishing jade? Then Mr. Chu would probably be even more criticized.
Come on - this must be a lustful person!
The biggest upset of the Huangguan Group came in the last game of the game. Zhang Tengming of Longhushan, who was unanimously disliked by lottery players, once again performed extraordinary skills. He faced Yu Tenglong of Tianningguan, who was six strokes ahead.
From great joy to sorrow, he played a trick on the eleventh hole and accidentally broke the club he was using. Tragedy later unfolded. Changing clubs was like changing hands. Yu Tenglong was unable to adapt to the characteristics of the spare club, and his level dropped seriously.
Defeated by one shot and lost the first round.
This result stunned many people. Zhao Ran said to Li Dayin and Pei Zhongze: "The broken club needs to be inspected by someone." The two nodded immediately. What they feared most was that Zhang Tengming and Yu Tenglong reached a private agreement.
Deliberate conceding of the ball occurs, which is a category that will be severely punished in the competition.
Li Dayin immediately ordered to go down. Not long after, Junior Brother Li Dayin, who was the chief referee, and the referees Fang Qing and Fang Zheng reported to Li Dayin and Pei Zhongze that they had seen the club and there were no signs of manipulation in advance. Moreover, when Yu Tenglong came off the court,
, both Fang Qing and Fang Zheng heard, Zhang Tengming sarcastically mocked the other party without mercy, and the two sides were reluctant to fight on the spot.
If no problem could be found, he had no choice but to admit his fault, so Zhang Tengming won the precious three points in the first round.
After four games in the Huangguan group, the competition in the Jindan Mage group began. In terms of level, the Jindan Mage group was definitely higher. The practice balls were fiercely chased in the air, collided with each other, and exploded in the air at every turn, attracting the attention of the audience.
There were bursts of exclamations on the stage.
What Zhao Ran paid most attention to was the match between Lingshan Gu Suiyuan and Lingxu Pavilion Du Xingyan. Both of them were acquaintances, so this kind of match was more interesting. In the end, Du Xingyan won by a big score and scored three points.
Zhao Ranfei and Rong Niang reported the battle situation: "Rong Niang, I regret to inform you that Du Xingyan won, and the Gu Suiyuan you bought was not an upset. I told you earlier, Gu Suiyuan will definitely not be able to do it."
Rong Niang replied: "It's boring to guess that everyone else can guess right. I just want to guess the outcome of the upset. That's fun."
"Since you want to guess the unpopular, why not guess Zhang Tengming?"
"No way, he can actually win? Did you do it behind closed doors? Or is he really just lucky?"
"You can doubt our character, but you can never doubt our integrity... Are you really not going to come to the capital to watch the game?"
"Isn't this what you're looking for for my family? My bank still has branches in more than 80 prefectures, and I'm very busy. I'll come to you after I finish setting up the stalls."
