After listening to Cao Yunxi's words, Zhang Wei understood that this was the biased understanding of scholars now. He shook his head and asked back: "The four people's sayings are said by Guan Zi. How did he say it?"

Cao Yunxi blurted out: "The four people of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the stone people of the country!"

"Miss Yunxi is knowledgeable and knowledgeable!" Zhang Wei picked his thumb and said, "This is the original meaning of Guanzi!"

"That's it?" Cao Yunxi was still puzzled and said, "Isn't this the order of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce since ancient times. It has been passed down in all dynasties. Why did the young master break the rules?"

Seeing that she didn't understand what she meant, Zhang Wei laughed a little: "But Guan Zi only talked about the four people, and did not say that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were in sequence. The order was just a later generation, and was forced to be added for the convenience of rule. In my opinion, these four are originally parallel, and there is no distinction between high and low, and it can be said that neither of them is missing!"

This can be said to be a collision between Zhang Wei's knowledge that has been ahead of thousands of years and the traditional education that Cao Yunxi received since childhood. With the influence of her royal daughter, how can she accept Zhang Wei's statement?

"The order is uncertain, isn't it a collapse of rituals and music?" Although she was a little admiring to Zhang Wei, she was indeed convinced of the education she received, saying: "English and commerce are all cheap businesses, how can we compare with scholars and farmers?"

Zhang Wei naturally disagreed and directly retorted: "Not to mention what the taxi you mentioned originally defined, I only talk about industry and commerce. If there is no craftsmanship, can there be gorgeous clothes? If there is no craftsmanship, how can there be boats and chariots? If there is no craftsmanship, how can there be ritual instruments? If there is no ritual instrument or musical instrument, how can there be ritual music?"

"Ah this! But..."

Cao Yunxi wanted to interrupt, but Zhang Wei waved his hand and continued, "Let's talk about business, if there is no business, how much tax is there? If there is no business, how will the materials be operated? Will all citizens be content with poverty and enjoy the talk?"

Seeing that Cao Yunxi seemed to be angry, Zhang Wei ignored it and continued, "I know that it is not the case that I am happy to talk about, but I believe you can understand what I mean, right?"

Cao Yunxi reluctantly nodded and naturally understood what he meant. "Poverty" that is content with poverty is extended to being in adversity, but Zhang Wei only refers to poverty here, which makes sense, so Cao Yunxi naturally would not pick on words with him here.

Zhang Wei nodded when he saw her and continued, "That's great! Without farmers, where does the food come from? Without workers, where does the tools come from? Without merchants, how can the materials be exchanged in various places? Then what about there are no scholars?"

Cao Yunxi replied stubbornly: "Without scholars, rituals and music will not prosper! The country will not be a country!"

"Okay, even if you are right!" Zhang Wei laughed again and continued, "Since that's the case, then I say, no farming is not stable, no labor is not strong, no business is not rich, no scholar is not prosperous, so the four people are indispensable! What I'm right?"

"This..." Cao Yunxi felt something was wrong because it was not the same as what she had learned, but she didn't know how to refute it. In the end, she could only nod and admit, "Of course it's right!"

"Since that's the case, how can there be a distinction between high and low? And it's said that business is a cheap businessman, so why is Zigong a famous businessman in the world?" Zigong is a disciple who controls his disciple, but he is also a famous Confucian businessman in the world. Can't he be said to be humble, right?

Zhang Wei asked and answered: "It is because during the Warring States Period, wars in the world were frequent, and countries first needed to ensure food cultivation, so they rewarded farming wars, suppressed merchants, and prevented resource loss. However, the times have changed now and should be determined according to the actual situation!"

"Should we still focus on industry and commerce?" Cao Yunxi felt that his concept was shaken and said in disbelief.

"The great Yan is so prosperous now, why? It's nothing more than a developed business and sufficient taxes!" Zhang Wei nodded and said, "But the four people still need to be balanced. They cannot just suppress them or indulge them. No matter which one is the same! It should suppress one of the strong ones, and the weak ones, they should support ones!"

Cao Yunxi fell into deep thought: Yes! Times change, and nothing will last forever, so how should it change?

"What I want in Crescent Island is to develop rapidly, and naturally reward all crafts and develop trade!" Zhang Wei saw her fall into deep thought, paused, and continued with some meaning: "What Da Yan wants to do at this time is to support all craftsmen, appropriately suppress the gentry, and suppress land annexation!"

Cao Yunxi suddenly realized that, especially the last sentence to curb land annexation, is a must-pass path for the royal dynasty. Those who have endured it will usher in a prosperous era, and those who have lost will have to change their dynasties.

"Young Master's words are enlightening, what a pity!" Cao Yunxi pursed his lips slightly and said, "I am no longer the eldest princess of Da Yan. Of course, even if I can't participate in the government, it's a waste of the young master's efforts!"

Cao Yunxi thought Zhang Wei wanted to use her mouth to convey something, but she had already strengthened her desire to retire and could not contact the capital. Otherwise, what was waiting for her would not be anything else, and she would only be used as a tool for marriage.

"Miss Yunxi misunderstood!" Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "I just said it casually. No one understood these words when I said them to others, so I just talked to the girl a little, and had no other purpose."

After a moment of "letting", Cao Yunxi's face turned red. After all, a man and a woman talked about her heart either because of her confidant or as a body. No matter which one it was, it made her heart beat faster.

Zhang Wei finished speaking and felt a little rogue, and hurriedly said, "Miss Yunxi, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that only you know about the affairs of the government and the others on the island don't care about these things, so I am like this, not just being frivolous!"

"Young Master doesn't need to explain, Yun Xi will understand!" Cao Yunxi blushed, his voice trembled slightly, and he said softly: "Sometimes I have some things, and they don't understand them even if I tell others. For example, the profound artistic conception of poetry, I think only the young master can understand it!"

This is actually the meaning of being a confidant. She was able to say such words because she was moved by Zhang Wei's poems before. Later, Zhang Wei wrote poems on the spot, which amazed her again with his talent.

This time the debate between scholars, farmers, industry and commerce also refreshed her. When Zhang Wei's meaning was obviously a lone person, and it was all lonely, which was no one understood. This was consistent with her thoughts, so she boldly confessed.

Unfortunately, Zhang Wei didn't understand what she meant. Maybe he felt it a little, but he didn't think deeply. After all, he just responded casually, but these words really couldn't be said to anyone. Only Cao Yunxi could argue with her and understand his meaning.

At this time, Zhang Wei only thought that Cao Yunxi wanted to talk to him about lyrics and poetry, so he waved his hand and said something that made Cao Yunxi admire even more.

"The poem is a little doy. A strong man will not do it!"

It's a good friend's heartbeats fast,

How can the path of poetry be entangled in my heart?
