Qi Younian was a little hesitant, according to common sense, of course, the road that the sixth master said was more promising, and there were high-grade officials, which in the eyes of ordinary craftsmen, was tantamount to a pie in the sky, and it was a rare opportunity.

However, he remembered what Ye Zi had said, to be one of the best construction companies in the world, and to let craftsmen earn the wages they deserve, get the respect they deserve, and live a prosperous life.

Wang Qiao, a child with aura in construction, if he falls into officialdom, he will be a petty official who barely enters the stream for the rest of his life. If what Ye Zi said is really realized one day, then Wang Qiao's stay in the construction industry is the most valuable and promising.

He thought for a while and said, "Ye Zi once said to Xiao Lao'er that if the Qi family construction company wants to be good enough, it must have craftsmen with good craftsmanship. In the future, as long as you meet a craftsman with good craftsmanship, you must spend a lot of money to hire in the construction industry. She also said that after the Qi family construction company gained momentum, and it was like this to treat craftsmen, and other families would inevitably follow suit. In this way, the craftsmen will be able to get the treatment they deserve, be respected, and live a prosperous life. ”

Jin Rong was stunned when he heard this, in his opinion, the status of a craftsman is good, at least much higher than that of a businessman.

Needless to say, the wealthy merchants are a very small number after all. Merchants struggling at the bottom can earn three meals a day, but the restrictions imposed on merchants by the imperial examination make their descendants have no chance to get ahead at all, and they can only live by looking at people's faces in a small business.

In contrast, the artisan is much better. Although the income of ordinary craftsmen at the bottom is not much, they are better than farmers who work hard but do not have enough to eat. And the top craftsmen have the opportunity to get ahead and even hold official positions, so it's not glorious!

Jin Rong asked in surprise: "Looking at the world, craftsmen with craftsmanship are not worried about food and clothing, and ordinary people can make a family not worry about food and clothing, how difficult it is." Craftsmen are different from scholars and farmers, and scholars are those who have read books after all, and they know books and etiquette. The harvest of the land is the foundation of the world, and the life of the peasant family who has been working on the land for generations is the most difficult. However, the craftsman can earn a living for his family by just cleverness. Why is the leaf just holding grievances for the craftsman? ”

Jin Rong thought of the identities of Qi Younian and Zhang Wusi, and asked again: "Is it just because Uncle Qi is a craftsman, so Ye Zi only has this idea out of family affection?" ”

"How so?" Qi Younian said with a smile, "How can my leaves be so ignorant? ”

"Why is that?" Jiang Yifan also felt strange.

Zhang Wusi and Wang Qiao looked at Qi Younian. They had heard Ye Xinyan say that if there were good craftsmen and they would spend more wages to hire them, it would improve the prestige of the construction shop and the quality of the workmanship. As for making craftsmen respected or something, it was the first time he had heard such a statement.

Qi Younian thought about it for a while, Ye Zi just said her opinion of the craftsman, that is, it was a little inappropriate, and it was not elegant, and it was okay to talk about King Yu and Lord Jiang. Moreover, he felt that Ye Zi was right.

"That's right. Earlier, Ye Zi said that farming is important, but if you only know how to plow your head, it is just planting seeds, to see if God is willing to give gifts, and then to see what the harvest will be. This has been the case for generations, and there will be no improvement. ”

Jinrong nodded, "Yes, that's what happened. However, it still cannot change the foundation of the people's food as the sky, and agriculture is still the top priority in the world. ”

Qi Younian smiled, it turned out that he also thought so, and felt that God had treated the farmer poorly, and the farmer had worked hard for a year to lay down a lot of grain, but he couldn't eat his family's belly.

He continued: "There's nothing wrong with the sixth master thinking like this. But Ye Zi said this: If the imperial court of the past dynasties can value craftsmen, the number of people engaged in the craftsman industry will also increase, and many beautiful people are also willing to study in the craftsman skills. Not much, each generation of craftsmen can produce one achievement, and the effect on this world is more beneficial than ten generations of scholars. ”

Qi Younian said, looked at Jiang Yifan, and said with a smile: "Ye Zi said that the most useless person in this world is a scholar. ”

Uh, Jiang Yifan was stunned. Do you want to show such blatant contempt for him? I don't know when Ye Xinyan said this, could it be because he doubted her identity, and then she became angry?

Jin Rong nodded at Qi Younian, "Go on, what else?" ”

Qi Younian said: "Ye Zi is not unfounded, she said, just like the books recorded, many places in the south used waterwheels, a lot of farming tools, if the craftsman is willing to work these things, than thousands of farmers to work hard and do not know the changes, more effective."

Just like rail transportation, if it can be used successfully, it can not only increase the transportation of materials, but also save a lot of labor, and these laborers are engaged in farming, which will have an additional harvest guarantee. For example, agricultural tools, just like pears, are recorded in agricultural books, pears have also been changed many times, and many of them are craftsmen.

If an imperial court has a large number of outstanding craftsmen, it is far more powerful than having several times more students who are rich in learning and five cars. Outstanding and innovative craftsmen can lead the progress of a dynasty in all aspects. ”

Jinrong's gaze moved away from Qi Younian's face, and he was silent for a long time before asking, "Then what's the matter with the reader?" If there were no readers, where would anyone record this? Isn't Wang Qiao also making a difference because he can write, write, and count? ”

Qi Younian was confused by Jinrong's silence, and thought for a moment before saying: "Ye Zi refers to a scholar who aims to be an official, who has been cold for decades, but is useless in practice. ”

Jinrong turned his head and asked Jiang Yifan: "What does Yuanfan think?" ”

Jiang Yifan's face was not very good-looking, and he said: "Although the words are not good-looking, there is some truth in them. Then he shut his mouth and refused to speak.

Qi Younian was secretly annoyed in his heart, how could he talk about this? Speaking of which, he was careless, is Ye Zi's remarks suspected of discussing current affairs?

Qi Younian coughed dryly and explained: "These are just the gossip of our grandfather and grandson, and they don't involve anything else, and they haven't been mentioned to others. If the sixth master and Master Jiang think it's inappropriate, we won't mention this in the future. ”

Jinrong waved his hand, "It's nothing, the imperial court is not strict enough not to let people speak." Master Jiang and I have just never heard of such remarks, and we are a little surprised. ”

Jiang Yifan said with a straight face: "In this case, after all, it is not in line with the current trend, just talk about it yourself, it is best not to mention it to others." As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Wusi and Wang Qiao seriously.

Zhang Wusi and Wang Qiao are not as clear as Jinrong, and they can associate a lot. They just listened to the general meaning and seemed to understand it, but in many places they didn't seem to understand it very well. Seeing Jiang Yifan's eyes looking over, he nodded hurriedly: "I'll wait until I understand what the adults mean, so I won't mention it in the future." ”

Zhang Wusi also added with a wry smile: "Actually, the little old man didn't understand the meaning of the eldest brother too much. I wonder if Ah Qiao understands? ”

Wang Qiao also shook his head, "I don't understand too much, anyway, it's just that the craftsman has done it, and it can be of great use."
