Han Xizai, Gao Yuan, and Xu Qingwan listened to Su Chen's remarks, with a slightly stunned expression, all showing a meditative look.

These words are rough and not rough. They are all people who are familiar with the classics and history. After a little combination, they can understand the profound meaning behind Su Chen's words.

However, the division of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce has been limited in thinking since ancient times, making people respect scholars who read books, thinking that craftsmen and merchants are both untouchables and have a low status in society. In many dynasties, even the colors and fabrics of clothes were required, and merchants were prohibited from walking on the streets in luxurious clothes.

At the banquet, the Xu family father and daughter, Gao Yuan and others were all well-read people, so it was normal to despise work and businessmen. If it were not for the veterans of Han Xizai of the three dynasties, they had some analysis of the situation in the court, and believed that the Tang Dynasty was too popular and pursued luxurious articles, and lacked practical talents to prosper the country.

He thought of it, but Han Xizai had been suffering from no one available. Now that he discovered Su Chen, a unique scholar, seemed to have solved the many hesitations and confusions in his heart.

Han Xizai felt that this was the hard-working talent he needed to find!

If you use this person correctly, you may be able to change the situation in the Tang Dynasty.

Xu Qingwan raised her concerns and said, "But these are skills after all. Business cannot form a theory, allowing more people to learn and promote it. The purpose of the country is limited to the richness of the product, and it is difficult to form a new atmosphere for a country. Reading and literacy, educating the world, so that the people know honor and disgrace, understand ethics, and know writing, and pass on it from generation to generation. Even if the dynasties change, their knowledge will not be cut off. This is the way."

In fact, this is also the way of all scholars and the way of Confucianism!

The reason why society puts "scholars" first is because the inheritance of civilization is that the scholars study knowledge and pass it on from generation to generation, and are not affected by the change of dynasties, are not limited by the north and south, teach and solve doubts, read poetry and books, cultivate sentiments, and improve their literacy, so that society can make progress.

Su Chen nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is indeed the role of reading. The reason why we leave the primitive era of eating raw meat and drinking blood is no longer as ignorant and living in caves as primitive people is because we have words, education, knowledge, etiquette and education mature and social order is stable. But social development is promoted by the spirit and material aspects. If we do not invent textile fabrics, the people will still wear tree bark; if we do not invent fire, the people will continue to eat raw meat; the ceramics, tables, chairs, oil and salt in life are all industrial and commercial things."

"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various schools of thought contend, including Mohist schools, miscellaneous schools, etc., who studied the necessary items for investigation and survival. However, the later generations did not pay attention to it, and there was no systematic knowledge. If our Tang Dynasty could establish an institution and standardize and systematic the learning of craftsmen and merchants, then the court would gain more practical talents, proficient in arithmetic, water conservancy, construction, iron smelting, medicine, shipbuilding and other systematic knowledge, and pass on the generations to form scientific and technological power, and society would make greater progress."

Everyone at the banquet was silent, and they never thought that these things could be analyzed so carefully, and that they could establish an institution to impart knowledge, form knowledge, and allow scholars to learn these skills in detail. This is indeed a precedent.

The scholars who have studied hard for ten years have all their eyes higher than their tops, and they have a noble mentality of "everything is inferior, but only reading is high". It is obviously unlikely that they will learn the skills of craftsmen again, and they may even criticize them.

Xu Qingwan smiled beautifully, graceful and beautiful, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's it. Qingwan will come to Su's Mansion tomorrow and ask Mr. Su for advice."

Su Chen nodded slightly, the smile on his face was a little reluctant and dry.

"The wine has been poured, let's have a drink first!" Han Xizai held up his small wine glass and began the wine culture of the banquet.

Han Pei is a foil, Gao Yuan, Xu Yonghua is a distinguished guest, Su Chen and Xu Qingwan are juniors, and the six people are a strange group of people at the same table. They raise their glasses and drink together and talk freely.

Su Chen's alcohol capacity is average, but fortunately, the turbidity is not high, which is similar to the potential of Northeast Old Snow Beer. He could barely drink three bottles when he was in college, but he would not be embarrassed to pour one cup at this time.

Xu Qingwan only drank a glass and stopped drinking. She sat beside her and watched Su Chen communicate with Han Xizai, Gao Yuan and others. Su Chen could answer the questions properly, but she never mentioned poetry and articles. Even if she was asked about the way of poetry and why he could write so exquisitely, he would humbly say that he was lucky, but in fact he didn't understand it very much.

If Xu Qingwan hadn't seen him with his own eyes writing poems to suppress Hou Shijie and others at the Xu Mansion Poetry Conference, and defeated Ye Tanhua with a pair of words, she would have really believed the lies of the young man at the table, thinking to herself: If you don't understand poetry, other men would not be worthy of understanding.
