Fantasy: Starting out as a gigolo, born a Confucian sage

"Although you are not from the Mohist family, your understanding of the Mohist family is far beyond that of ordinary Mohist disciples."

"Just go and join in the fun. Well-known people from Zhongshan and several nearby state capitals will be there."

"It's not like they are all disciples of the Mo family. It doesn't matter if you go. If that doesn't work, just stay with me."

Cao Juyu even resorted to coquettish tactics and spent a lot of words, but Shen Wuming was still uninterested.

"Are you going or not?" Cao Juyu's eyes widened and her cheeks bulged, looking like she was going to be angry.

"I'm not going." Shen Wuming rolled his eyes, who was he not hers? Why are you being coquettish with yourself?

If it were my own wife, it would be almost the same.

Cao Juyu really had no choice but still held his hand and refused to let go, "Is this okay? You make a condition."

"No matter what conditions you make, I agree, so you can always accompany me."

Shen Wuming sneered, "So generous, okay, I'll go with one thousand taels."

One thousand taels of silver is equivalent to one million copper coins, which is not a small amount even for Shouting Hou Mansion.

Shen Wuming made this condition with the intention of blocking Cao Juyu.

After Cao Zhuyu heard this, she smiled sweetly, her eyebrows curved, and she put one hand into her huge lapel.

He quickly took out a thick stack of bills and stuffed them into Shen Wuming's hand.

"Now, is that enough?"

Shen Wuming looked at the three-inch-thick bills in his hand. Each one was worth one hundred taels, and he was suddenly stunned.

"This... do you really have it?" Shen Wuming was stunned for a moment, then coughed lightly, "I'm talking about the golden ticket."

"This is the golden ticket." Cao Zhuyu pointed to the mark on the ticket, "Didn't you pay attention?"

The gold and silver tickets issued by the Northern Han banknotes were not similar to the banknotes of later generations, but were vouchers for withdrawing money.

There are anti-counterfeiting signs and various words on the top of the ticket number, and then you can withdraw money with the ticket.

Gold tickets and silver tickets look similar, but everyone generally uses silver tickets, and the denomination of gold tickets is still too large.

Shen Wuming didn't pay attention just now, but now he saw that all the gold tickets in his hand were gold tickets.

Moreover, there is a stack of three inches thick, and each one is worth one hundred taels. A rough estimate is that it is at least three to five thousand taels!

"No, sister... I'm playing abstract, are you serious?" Shen Wuming was stunned.

Isn't this fake?

"This little money is nothing." Cao Zhuyu waved her hand nonchalantly.

"I only have this much pocket money. If you need more, I'll ask my father for it."

"May I ask your Majesty..." Shen Wuming asked tentatively.

"Cao Zijing." Cao Zhuyu replied.

Shen Wuming was immediately in awe. Cao Zijing's name could be said to be known throughout the four countries of the Central Plains, even on the grasslands.

Cao Zijing was originally from the Northern Han Dynasty, but his business spread all over the Central Plains, Western Regions and grasslands.

Moreover, among the hundreds of schools of thought, there was one named Shang, who practiced business as a way of doing business. The more wealth he had, the higher his cultivation level would be.

Cao Zijing is the leader of contemporary businessmen. He is the richest in the world and can stand up to the emperors of the four kingdoms.

The emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty once asked him how much wealth he had. Cao Zijing only said one sentence, "Pearls are like earth and gold are like iron."

And everyone believed that Cao Zijing was not bragging, but that he really had this strength.

So you can imagine how terrifying the Cao family's wealth is?

It's no wonder that Cao Zhuyu is so generous. With such a father, nothing is surprising.

What's strange is that Cao Juyu didn't inherit the Cao family's wealth, but instead practiced Mohism?

This is how a young lady experiences life.

Under the money offensive, Shen Wuming finally succumbed.

With a few thousand taels of gold tickets in hand, he promised to accompany Cao Zhuyu to attend the Mohist sermon tomorrow.

"Then I'll take you to buy some clothes!" Cao Zhuyu pulled him outside.

Shen Wuming was helpless, "I have clothes."

After all, he is also the uncle of the Hou family. Chu Pingshan and the others have not abused him, and he has a lot of silk and satin.

It's a pity that in the eyes of the eldest lady of the Cao family, she looks a bit shabby.

I was stunned and dragged him to the street, insisting on making some clothes for him.

Shen Wuming had no choice but to go with him.

…

"Are you ready?" Cao Zhuyu poked her head in from the door, and then everyone was stunned.

Shen Wuming stood in front of the bronze mirror, wearing a brand new white Shuiyun brocade robe, and the light reflected it like water ripples and gold.

Her hair is braided together, and then tied up with a purple gold crown. Her face is handsome, elegant yet sharp.

In the past, Shen Yun always looked unkempt, with an unkempt beard, and his clothes were crookedly worn.

Apart from being a bit bohemian, he was not obviously handsome, but at this moment, he discovered that Shen Wuming was also a handsome man.

At least looking at the entire Zhongshan County, there is no one that can be beaten.

"It'll be ready soon."

Shen Wuming adjusted his clothes and nodded slightly. Not to mention, he still looked like a dog wearing a soldier's uniform.

After walking out of the room, he found Song Nanzhu standing next to Cao Zhuyu. He couldn't help but be surprised, "What are you doing?"

"Why can't I go? You can go." Song Nanzhu said matter-of-factly.

Shen Wuming shrugged, it didn't matter, he just wanted to make money anyway.

There were several thousand taels of gold tickets for such a trip. Yesterday he went back and looked and found that there were more than 4,000 taels.

If converted, it is 40,000 silver, which is more than 40 million pieces of money.

And Cao Zhuyu said that this Mohist gathering will not only include Mohist disciples, but also officials from nearby prefectures.

As the host, Governor Ma will naturally not be absent, and there will probably be trouble at that time.

With Princess Taiping, Shen Wuming immediately felt much more at ease.

No matter what kind of monsters and ghosts, who can stop Song Nanzhu's two beautiful legs?

"Get up."

When he walked outside the Marquis's Mansion, Shen Wuming found that there was a car parked at the door... not a carriage.

The shape is almost the same as the carriage, but the front is not a real horse.

Shen Wuming had seen the war horses used by the Marquis' Mansion before. When standing upright, they are taller than people, and there are spiral horns on their heads.

It is a bit similar to the unicorn in Western fantasy legends, named Longma, and is said to have a thin dragon bloodline.

Travel thousands of miles a day.

However, outside Cao Zhuyu's carriage, there are two metal mechanical beasts, one black and one white.

"This is a good thing." Shen Wuming touched it, the surface is smooth, and it seems to be plated with some metal.

"How is it driven? Is it all powered by Mohist magic?"

Hearing Shen Wuming's question, Cao Zhuyu hurriedly said: "You can use Mohist magic or inkstone."

Then Cao Zhuyu explained it, and Shen Wuming was thoughtful. It seemed to be coal!

There is a special incineration chamber inside the mechanical beast, and then the energy after the coal combustion is drawn to drive the mechanical beast.

It can be seen that the Mohist school of this era has developed to a good level.

But when Shen Wuming arrived at the Mohist gathering place, he really gained some knowledge.

All kinds of mechanical beasts, wooden puppets, and iron puppets, from small pets to large carriages and horses, are all made of machinery.

Even the guards of the gathering manor are puppets similar to robots, which makes Shen Wuming a little confused.

The word "sense of technology" inexplicably emerged in his mind.
