In the Book of Qi Yao Min, Jia Sixie repeatedly mentioned the concepts of "diligence", "diligence", "strength" and "merit", and combined with the specific situation, deeply analyzed the relationship between these concepts and their relationship with agricultural economy, which is another aspect of Jia Sixie's agricultural thought.
In Jia Sixie's view, agriculture is the main economic sector that provides social wealth, and all social wealth provided by agriculture is created by labor. In the preface, he quoted Zhong's eldest son as saying: "Heaven is instantaneous, but I don't plow, so I can't get it." He also quoted Zi Qiao as saying: "If you stay in the morning, you will be full of food." And if you have no feathers, don't knit and don't wear clothes; You can't drink water like grass, plow, eat or stand on your own feet.
Therefore, he strongly agrees with the views that "people are diligent, and diligence is not lacking" and "strength can overcome poverty, but we can overcome disaster", and clearly puts forward that "diligence can not be poor, but we can avoid disaster."
"This clearly shows that Jia Sixie attaches importance to labor and that he has a vague concept of" labor is the source of wealth ".
