Chapter 213

Seeing Zhang Taisu constantly praising him, Shen Wuming felt a little embarrassed.

He had never studied painting seriously.

It was when he was in Cangzhou that he got some insights from watching the old painter painting portraits.

It was because of watching Zhang Taisu paint that his painting skills were improved.

Speaking of which, it was all thanks to the golden finger.

In front of a serious painting master like Zhang Taisu, he didn't dare to pretend.

After being humble for a long time, Zhang Taisu still kept flattering him.

Then he asked many questions.

Shen Wuming had benefited from others, and the relationship between the two sides was not bad.

So all the answers that could be answered were answered at this time, and Zhang Taisu's expression changed.

Then the breath on his body continued to stir, like boiling water, magnificent.

"Boom!"

Above the sky, it was originally sunny and bright, but suddenly a cloud condensed.

There was a breath rolling up from Zhang Taisu's body, and his divine aura was so strong that the dark room was illuminated.

Shen Wuming quickly retreated a few steps, distanced himself, and quietly waited for his breakthrough.

"Boom!"

The invisible shackles of cultivation were instantly broken, and the aura on Zhang Taisu's body changed again, as if the world was one.

In a trance, Shen Wuming even felt that Zhang Taisu had merged into the whole world.

Shen Wuming had a deep understanding of the state where the rules of heaven and earth were extremely compatible with his own cultivation.

"Sixth realm!"

Zhang Taisu slowly restrained his breath and bowed to Shen Wuming, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for helping me achieve enlightenment."

"No need to be polite, no need to be polite."

Shen Wuming quickly helped him up, "You are a senior, you really embarrassed me."

"But I am a little confused. Aren't you a Taoist? How can you break through by painting?"

Zhang Taisu smiled, "Although painting is a branch of Confucianism, it is not only Confucianism that can practice it."

"I combine Taoism and painting, and verify each other. My paintings carry my Tao!"

"So when my paintings break through, my Tao also breaks through!"

In short, Taoist practice is to comprehend the world, and this process can be done with the help of various media.

Zhang Taisu used painting as a medium to carry his understanding of the world.

"It makes sense. After all, all the schools of thought are essentially about comprehending the rules of the world."

Shen Wuming was thoughtful. Could he also verify Mohism and Confucianism?

In that case, wouldn't I be able to break through the seventh realm quickly?

…

"…I have introduced the car to you all, I believe you have a general understanding of it."

"But whether it is good or not, you still have to use it to experience it."

Zhongshan County, Cao's workshop.

The Cao's workshop, which was originally used as a factory, has now built a huge platform.

The platform is full of tables, chairs and benches, and those sitting in front are all dignitaries near Zhongshan County.

Even Gao Gan, the governor of Dingzhou, is sitting below at this time, and is very respectful to attend here.

Even the guests in the back are all gentry, or wealthy merchants.

On the high platform, Cao Zijing pointed at the car on the poster behind him and introduced it to everyone.

"Just the cost of various materials, each car costs more than a thousand taels of silver, not including labor costs."

"The technology in the middle was provided by our Dingzhou Jieyuan, Yong'an County Zi Shen Wuming Shen Qiaocui."

"And after countless Mohist masters in our workshop polished and perfected it, it was finally produced."

"The cost alone is more than two thousand taels of silver, so the price may be a bit expensive."

After Cao Zijing finished the preparation, he suddenly sighed, "So at the beginning, we wanted to set the price at three thousand taels!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone suddenly became excited, the voices were noisy, and it was impossible to hear what they were saying.

But there is no doubt that they think it is too expensive.

Cao Zijing was silent for a while, letting the atmosphere brew for a while, and then spoke again.

Under the operation of the merchant's magic power, his voice overwhelmed all the boiling present.

"But Shen Qiaocui told me that he didn't come up with this technology to make money."

Cao Zijing shouted loudly.

"He wanted to allow ordinary people to have their own car, a cheap car."

"Two thousand taels of silver is already a price that many people cannot afford, which is not appropriate."

"So after discussing it, we finally decided to show our sincerity."

"Not only did we exempt Shen Qiaocui and the masters of the Mohist School from the R&D expenses, but we also lowered the cost."

"I worked day and night to negotiate the price with the supplier, and finally reduced the material cost to 700 taels of silver."

"And I saw Shen Qiaocui's sincerity, so I decided to show my sincerity."

"So our Cao family workshop is subsidizing everyone with 200 taels of silver, and the final price is-"

When Cao Zijing said this, he felt his face was red, this rhetoric was too shameless.

Even though he had used some tricks in doing business before, he had never deceived customers like this.

However, Shen Wuming and Cao Zhuyu repeatedly emphasized that this set of rhetoric must be used.

Regardless of whether the process deceived everyone, the final product did not deceive everyone.

Cao Zijing took a deep breath and his voice resounded throughout the room, "The final price is five hundred taels!"

"Shen Qiaocui said that this price may still make many customers stay away."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Because this is only the first generation of cars, what we sell is not just a car, but also a hope."

"A hope to change the current way of travel, like a spark, it will surely set the prairie on fire."

"As long as we can get everyone's support, one day, this price can be compressed further."

"Shen Qiaocui said that he has a dream, that is, to let everyone have a car."

"So that everyone doesn't have to get their clothes wet in the rain, and don't have to get their skin sunburned in the summer."

"So that everyone doesn't have to pace in the middle of the night, and don't have to run anxiously when their family members are sick."

"So, here, I, Cao Zijing, beg everyone, and hope to get everyone's support."

"I hope those who can consume can support it, and those who can't consume also hope to get everyone's praise."

"Please!"

When he said the last three words, Cao Zijing bowed deeply, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Even Gao Gan, the governor of Dingzhou at the front, couldn't help but look surprised.

Who is Cao Zijing?

He was the leader of the merchants today, and he could stand up to the emperors of the four countries.

But now, he actually bowed to a group of customers who hadn't spent any money yet?

Everyone was moved.

The boiling scene fell silent for a moment, but just a moment later, it was like a volcanic eruption.
