Chapter 627: Give up a lot

Fantastic? Jinrong's brow furrowed.

Jiang Yifan knew that the world Ye Xinyan said could indeed be defined by the unbelievable for their current world.

He explained to Jinrong: "Ye Zi probably said that if there are talented people in the world, not all of them will be crowded into the road of the imperial examination, but there will be a group of people who will study the skills of craftsmen. Then in this world, there will continue to appear such exquisite appliances as rail transportation, chain hoists, and thread lathes, and even on the basis of the skills of predecessors, more exquisite and unexpected appliances will be made. At that time, every move of the world, what they see and use, are such magical utensils, and the world will probably be really incredible. ”

Jinrong tried to look at what kind of world it was, and said in confusion: "People all over the world use unimaginable exquisite utensils? ”

Jiang Yifan nodded and said, "Yes." If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, would the sixth master have thought of a small iron lump that could actually pull up a thousand gold weights? Can you imagine a length of iron bar that can be evenly threaded and bite tightly with just one table? Can you imagine that it only took one day to transport Jiwang's military rations to the important town of Liaoyuan County?

If this continues, it will not be possible to say that in a few hundred years, the world will think that heaven on earth will appear. People all over the world are well fed and clothed, and ordinary people can ride in speeding vehicles when they go out; The clairvoyance and the ears of the wind in the fairyland are all things that people can use at their fingertips......"

"What day can there really be?" Jin Ronghu was suspicious, but thinking about the things that Qinghe Village had made, if the talented people of the whole world were to devote themselves to their ingenuity, maybe after years of immersion, there would really be that day.

"Ye Zi thinks that by increasing the wages of craftsmen, the situation of craftsmen can be changed, so that people in the world are willing to devote themselves to handicrafts?" Jinrong asked.

Qi Younian nodded and said: "There is an old saying that people die for money, birds die for food, and the people of the world work all their lives, most of them are for food and clothing." If you are engaged in the craftsman trade, you can have a good salary, and live a life without food and clothing, I think there will be more people willing to be craftsmen, and more people will be willing to study in this area.

And if it is those who have made great contributions or outstanding achievements, and can enjoy the honor and fame of famous and famous people, I think there will be more intelligent people who are willing to work hard to earn this honor. ”

Jinrong heard some feelings, but then thought about it, where is this so simple, something that can be done overnight, he shook his head and said: "What the old man said is too simple, learning the craft is not so simple, it is to be passed on from master to apprentice." The words of bringing out apprentices and starving masters to death are widely spread in the craftsman world, which shows that the skills are not so easy to learn. ”

In order to make himself more like an idle prince who does not do his job, Jinrong has worked hard in mechanisms and skillful tools, and has more contact with craftsmen, and understands the rules of the craftsman world and the state of mind of craftsmen better than others around, so he has these remarks.

Qi Younian paused, looked at the burning gazes of the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and said, "What if it is brought forward by the imperial court and the yamen of the government at all levels?" Collect all kinds of folk skills, and if individual craftsmen have outstanding skills, the government can also buy them at a high price. Then it is divided into categories, organized into books, and preserved and distributed by the official, so that there will be fewer situations like the sixth master. Those craftsmen who like to study have a basis for studying with books in hand.

Or you can teach the craft in a classroom way. Today's school is for scholars to take the scientific examination, and the technical school is to learn the craft to make a living, if you do the extreme, you can also get honor, I think there should be many people willing to go to school. That one...... If you want to learn a craft, hands-on ability is very important, and you can implement part-time work and study, even students from poor families can be able to enroll. ”

This method was said by Ye Xinyan, but it involved the imperial court, the government and the school, and Qi Younian was a little unsure whether there were any taboos about this method, so he didn't mention Ye Xinyan.

Jinrong's eyes flickered for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, and then lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Saying goodbye from the courtyard of the Qi family, Jinrong said to Jiang Yifan as he walked: "Ye Zi's view of things is still so novel and accurate, and the role of craftsmen in this world is also well analyzed, which is very desirable. ”

Jiang Yifan hummed, and silently thought about it. If there is a small number of talented people in the world who are willing to use the hard work of ten years to study the craftsmanship, will they be able to reach the height of development in the previous life of the leaf one day?

Jinrong continued: "It's quite an obvious thing, but no one has mentioned it before. Could it be that because the people who can speak out in the court are all scholars and have a sense of superiority, they unconsciously resist and look down on people who make a living by hand? Or is it for the sake of their own group interests, deliberately erasing the role played by craftsmen in the course of history? ”

Jiang Yifan glanced at the guards around them, near and far, and said softly: "So let's work harder, the Sixth Master can change this situation, under the governance of the Sixth Master, let the craftsman industry no longer be despised by others, so that the whole world can get the benefits of craftsmen, and let our Great Xia Dynasty look down on the world one step earlier." ”

Jinrong squinted her eyes and cast her gaze into the distance. When he was a child, he fought for that supreme position for his mother's concubine. As he grew up, he was not only for his mother, but also for the realization of his ambitions. And at this time, he knew that he could also do it for the people of the world and the whole world, whether they were scholars, craftsmen, farmers, or merchants.

The two walked out of the alley in silence, and when they were about to break up, Jinrong suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Jiang Yifan.

Jiang Yifan stopped at the same time, turned his head to look at Jinrong in surprise, and saw that his face was never heavier, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Sixth Master, but there are other things to explain? ”

At this time, shouldn't everyone go back to their own home? This is in the capital, he is a prince of the assistant ministry, so it's not good to drink and talk secretly with a small official in the household department, right?

Jinrong's face was still serious, and said, "I don't have a chance." Therefore, you must treat her well, if you fail her one day, I will bear the notoriety of the whole world, and I will not be able to spare you. ”

He wants to fight for that position, and he is destined to have no chance. He had to give up many, many things, and that woman was one of them.

Jinrong didn't specifically say who this "she" was referring to, but he and Jiang Yifan both knew it in their hearts.

Jiang Yifan looked at Jinrong with a firm gaze, "The sixth master can rest assured, I won't let the sixth master have a chance to bear the notoriety." ”

Jiang Yifan didn't ask Jinrong what she meant by treating her well. But he knows and dares to guarantee that he can treat Ah Yan well in all aspects, and he will not give anyone a chance to accuse him.
