Xu Shu said to Tian Fan: "Boguang, I was taught today!" What you said today is very inspiring to me! Well, Boguang, what you said just now is virtue, so what do you think of it? ”

Tian Fan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Brother Yuan Zhi asked, Fan didn't dare not say it." Today I will talk about my views on talents! After saying that, he bowed to the three old men and said, "Ugly in front of the three gentlemen!" Seeing the three of them nodding, Tian Fan continued: "Cai! It's talent! There are many kinds of talents, including martial arts, literary talents, governing talents, Anbang talents, Wang Zuo's talents, and governing the world. If a country wants to be strong, it must make good use of all kinds of talents! A general with military talents, leading the sergeants to defend the country, one is to resist external humiliation, the second is to guard against internal disasters, and the third is to open up the territory! Talented scholars, reciting poems, recording historical changes, this is a symbol of a country's civilization and strength, and it is also a must! The ability to govern the country helps the monarch to govern the country, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the world is peaceful! Anbang's talents help the monarch to govern the local area and make the people live a stable and peaceful life! Wang Zuozhicai can help the monarch deal with all kinds of things, so as to achieve the purpose of peace in the world and smooth government decrees! The talent to govern the world is necessary for the rapid resumption of production and the stability of people's livelihood after the chaos! Seeing that everyone agreed, Tian Fan continued: "What I just said is just a common talent, that is, the talent of scholars!" In fact, there are some talents that we usually don't pay attention to, and these are the basic conditions for maintaining the normal operation of the country! ”

At that time, people were divided into four types, namely, scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants. But although it is said that it is so, only the scholars are really valued! The other three are often just words, most of the time, and no one cares whether they live or die.

Sima Hui said: "Oh? Boguang, please speak! ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "I'm talking about the talent of the people!" ”

Seeing the puzzled eyes of everyone, he continued: "The peasants have the talent to cultivate, and they cultivate to have our food and drink!" Merchants have the talent to communicate, and it is precisely because of them that we can buy Shu brocade from Yizhou, burning knives from Xuzhou, and horses from Liangzhou and Zhou in Jingzhou! Artisans have a lot of skill, and their hands provide us with everything we need to live! For example, the clothes we wear, the house we live in, the car we sit in, the armor we wear and the weapons we hold in our hands, and so on! In a word, these three kinds of human talents are necessary for our survival! ”

Several young people also have to agree that there are some things, if you don't think about them, you won't find their importance. Huang Chengyan and the three old men were also very interested in what he said, and Sima Hui asked, "Does Boguang value craftsmen very much?" ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Don't hide it, I value craftsmen very much!" To a certain extent, craftsmen are the fundamental force that truly promotes social development! ”

Cui Jun was not convinced, he said: "Brother Boguang, how can craftsmen be as important as you say?" And how do you promote social development? ”

Tian Fan looked at this unconvinced young man, uh, to be exact, people are not younger than themselves. He said, "Then I ask you!" Do you know what materials and weapons are used in the army today? ”

Cui Jun replied: "Of course I know!" The soldiers used iron weapons, and some generals could use fine iron weapons! "The so-called fine iron is actually steel! There's an old saying that steel is the essence of iron, and that's what it means.

Tian Fan nodded and continued to ask, "What about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?" Cui Jun replied: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, bronze weapons were used, and in the Warring States Period, most of them were iron weapons!" ”

"Then do you know what weapons were used before the invention of bronze weapons?"

Cui Jun shook his head, and Tian Fan continued: "You don't know? But I know! I'll tell you, before the invention of bronze, stones were tied to wooden sticks to make weapons! ”…,

After speaking, he looked around at everyone and asked, "I guess everyone knows that iron is better than bronze, and bronze is better than wood, right?" Seeing a few young people nodding, and the three old men also looked at him with concern, Tian Fan continued: "Who turned wood into bronze, and bronze into iron?" It's a craftsman! It is with these craftsmen that the tools we use will get better and better! The brushes we use for writing, the clothes and shoes we wear, the houses we live in, and the cars we sit in will all get better and better! ”

He looked at Cui Jun and asked, "Can you imagine the days without craftsmen?" Can you imagine what you wear and what you live without craftsmen? Seeing that he didn't speak, Tian Fan shook his head and said, "You don't know!" Before Yanhuang, our ancestors slash and burn, wore leaves and animal skins, and lived in cave tree nests! It is thanks to craftsmen that now you can wear silk clothes and live in a beautiful big house! Do you still say that craftsmen are not important? ”

After speaking, he stopped talking, he was very disgusted with people like Cui Jun, taking other people's, using other people's, and looking down on others, why? But he can't help it, because this kind of thinking is the mainstream of this era.

Sima Hui said happily: "Haha, Boguang, that's a good point!" Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong also said yes again and again!

Huang Chengyan said: "For many years, the things made by craftsmen will only be devalued by others, and the status of craftsmen is also low. Listening to Boguang's words today, hahaha, it's really a bad breath in my heart! "Lao Huang's mechanical skills are very powerful, and he was once said to be not doing his job, today I heard Tian Fan say this, how could he not feel open-minded?

Pang Degong said: "Yes! Boguang is talented! ”

Tian Fan saluted the three old men, and he said with a little excitement: "So that the three of them can know that the position of Fan in the lord's account is a craftsman's general, and I personally asked the lord to seal it!" I just want to lead a group of craftsmen to build a glorious Han Dynasty with the hammers in their hands! I want to do everything I can to improve the status of craftsmen, especially those who can improve or invent new things! I still want to run a school, and I want to train thousands of excellent craftsmen! Let's wear more gorgeous clothes, eat more delicious food, and sit more comfortably in the car! I want to give farmers better farming tools, so that they can produce more food, so that no one will starve to death in the world! I want my soldiers to use sharper swords and stronger armor, so that no one in the world dares to offend my strong men! ……”

Seeing that everyone in the hall looked at him with straight eyes, he suddenly realized that he was a little out of control, he didn't say any more, took a few deep breaths, and calmed himself down! Today, under the stimulation of these people, he heartily said the goal he had set after coming to this world, and he felt relaxed from the heart!

Feeling the backwardness of our country's science and technology in later generations, after he came to the Three Kingdoms, combined with his own ability, he determined the ultimate goal of first being reused by Liu Bei, and then subtly changing people's thinking, and finally changing the status of craftsmen.

Once upon a time, our technology surpassed that of the West for thousands of years, but after the concept of "everything is inferior, only reading is high" was formed, the development of science and technology was seriously hindered. What scientists invent and create can only be called "miraculous and ingenious" and do not deserve due attention at all. In the long run, the craftsmen have no passion for creation, and even the existing things are made shoddy, I don't know how many advanced technologies have been lost, so our technology is slowly falling behind!

The three old men looked at Tian Fan, and the corners of their mouths showed a smile that Tian Fan couldn't understand!

Tian Fan smiled awkwardly, clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, hehe, I'm a little excited!" ”

Sima Hui waved his hand and said, "Boguang, you don't have to be like this!" If you have this belief, I believe you can succeed! ”…,

Tian Fan hurriedly thanked him. Sima Hui smiled and said, "Boguang! I heard you call Chengyan an uncle, I don't know if you want to call me uncle? ”

Tian Fan saw the expectation in his eyes, and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed solemnly, and shouted: "Uncle is above, please accept the little nephew!" ”

Tian Fan knelt, he didn't see the shock and puzzlement in the eyes of Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong. Sima Hui is a special person, they have been friends for thirty years, and they have never seen him so affectionate to that junior, which can't help but surprise them.

Sima Hui laughed, took two steps forward, helped Tian Fan, he looked at Tian Fan, and said with some sadness: "I think I Sima Hui has no children and no daughters, and my wife left me early, and today I have this good nephew, and I am considered to have a successor!" After speaking, he adjusted his emotions and said to Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong: "You two are here as proof, from now on, Fan'er will be my son with a different surname!" The two hurriedly agreed, but they couldn't understand it, but they couldn't ...... They seem to be able to understand the old friend's thoughts, but it's hard to say whether the old friend's idea will work specifically!

Sima Hui said to Tian Fan again: "Fan'er, if you leave a few days late, I will get together with you for a few more days before letting you go!" Tian Fan replied: "Obey your uncle's order!" Sima Hui laughed happily and even said "good boy"!

Because of a few words from Tian Fan and Sima Hui, the group stayed in Lumen Villa. He asked his soldiers to send a message to Lu Zhong and Tang Yi in Xiangyang, and he lived with Xiaoqing, Xiao Qiao, and Lu Xin with peace of mind!

Tian Fan brought gifts to the three old men, each with a set of rocking chairs. On a sunny day, sitting in a rocking chair with a low table next to it, an urn of light wine, and reading a book while drinking wine, it feels ......! The three old men understood the beauty of this thing at a glance, and immediately liked Tian Fan's gift. In addition, three people were also given ten jars of wine aged for one year each, no way, there is no longer one, only to find one for a year. Several young people also had their own gifts, all of which were more elegant things, and they all liked them very much.

The furniture workshop of the joint venture between the Mi family and the Tian family has already started, and for the time being, it can only produce some simple tables, chairs and benches, but Tian Fan believes that it will be able to produce more complex furniture in the future.
