Chapter 167 Selecting "The Analects of Confucius" (for subscription and reward)
The next morning, Huo Shan got up early and came to the study.

Huo Shan found a box from a shelf in the study, and took out a bunch of keys from it.

Then he walked to an inconspicuous corner of the study, pushed the wall, and then a darkroom passage opened.

Huo Shan stood outside and waited for the ventilation.

After waiting for a while, Huo Shan walked in directly with the lamp.

A downward passage, the steps are not long, two steps into the dark room.

There is no gold or silver property in it, all of it is knowledge.

There are only two bookshelves in total, and there are precious solitary bamboo slips on them.

All the classics of Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, military strategists, etc. are available. A small part was collected by Lao Huo, and most of them were stolen from the palace by Huo Shan.

Here are some precious ones, which can be looted by everyone if taken out.

Although there are many books in the study room above, they are also very precious, but they are all transcribed, not as precious as the original or lonely copies.

Lao Huo doesn't like to read books, what he plays is talent.

Huo Shan often looked at them, so Huo Shan picked out these things and put them in the dark room. He likes these things very much, they are all treasures!
Of course, you don’t read the original books, these are collections.

Huo Shan took out a cloth bag from his bosom, and then took out a cloth bag from a box in the corner.

Then he opened the cloth bag, and packed the three copies of the Xiongnu Covenant of different materials printed with the eight characters of "Designed by Heaven, Longevity and Yongchang".

Then he picked up the key in his hand, found an empty sandalwood box and opened it with two keys, then put the cloth bag in, and then closed it again.

After finishing all this, Huo Shan clapped his hands and showed a smile.

This is his honor box, and he plans to put all the covenants, military exploits records, reward edicts and other things in it, and pass it down from generation to generation.

Old Huo's Huo Shan also prepared a box, but Huo Shan didn't plan to put the two together, he wanted to get a new one.

Then Huo Shan picked up another key, walked to the left shelf, then squatted down, and took down a rectangular low box from the penultimate shelf.

Then Huo Shan picked and picked, found a few keys and opened the box, which was full of cloth.

Huo Shan currently has three such boxes, and the one he opened now contains classic annotations and classics of famous masters of later generations.

The other two boxes, one of which is box No. [-], contain various skills, such as papermaking, steelmaking, etc., as well as various tool-making techniques.

The other No. [-] contains all kinds of laws and regulations that can be used in this era, as well as knowledge such as the law of doing business and the application of mathematics.

The knowledge in it is very messy, basically Huo Shan just memorizes what comes to mind, and he hasn't sorted it out.

Although his brain is very useful now, he is afraid that one day he will forget it, so he wrote it down and put it here.

To be on the safe side, Huo Shan also used simplified characters and various symbols to write, among which there are certain rules and disordered arrangement.

Huo Shan can guarantee that only he can understand this era.

.........

Huo Shan reached into the box, picking and choosing:

"From "Spring and Autumn"...from "Mencius"...from "The Analects", I found it!"

Huo Shan found a stack of annotations for later generations of "The Analects of Confucius", and then Huo Shan took out the whole thick stack and put the rest back.

Then lock the chest and put the chest back in place.

Then I took out the No. [-] box, picked it up inside, took out two pieces of cloth, and put them together with the annotations of "The Analects of Confucius".

After locking the box and putting it back in place, Huo Shan picked up the stack of cloths, then picked up four or five paper notebooks from the table in the corner, hugged them in his arms and left the dark room.

After walking up to the top, Huo Shan put the cloth on the table, and put the paper notebook on his left.

Then I went to a bookshelf, took down all the annotations of "The Analects of Confucius" on the third floor, and put them on the table, which I already had.

Huo Shan looked at the bamboo slips and cloth piled up half the table and sighed:
"In the next few days, some people will be busy!"

These include the annotations of the sages of various schools, as well as the annotations of "The Analects" of the later masters in his memory.

As the saying goes, there is no perfect annotation, and it is impossible to have one in the future.

Looking at the annotations of later generations, some of them are vague and lofty, but the meaning is vague.

Some impose the ideas of later generations on the heads of sages, and some deliberately distort the facts in order to hit others.

What Huo Shan has to do is to take the essence of these things and discard the dross, and compile them into a book.

Just like a history book, it cannot be mixed with personal emotions and factional struggles.

At the same time, the writing should be vivid and interesting, not rigid.

But Huo Shan couldn't do this alone, and he couldn't do it alone, so he planned to recruit some friends.

Zhang Anshi and Sima Qian are very good candidates.

As for Huo Guang, this book was originally placed on his head, so he naturally wanted to participate in it.

As for Huo Shan and the others, just add their names after Huo Guang.

Huo Shan originally didn't intend to add his name, but when he thinks about giving in vain, he always feels uncomfortable.

So it's good to add a name and get some light!

As for why Zhang Anshi and Sima Qian were recruited, there was no other meaning, it was just because they were knowledgeable in their studies.

The "Analects of Confucius" of this era is different from that of later generations. He in later generations has not memorized all of them, let alone the part that has not been lost today.

Since you want to write, of course you have to write the whole thing, so you need helpers.

Zhang Anshi has read a lot of book thieves. As long as it is a book, he only needs to read it two or three times, and it will be deeply engraved in his mind. He is equivalent to a library.

And Sima Qian was able to compile "Historical Records". Although his father prepared a lot of work, can you say that he is not knowledgeable?

At this time, there is no famous scholar who is not knowledgeable!
And it can't be cheap for outsiders anyway.

Huo Shan tapped his head, thinking in his heart:

"Should I call Dong Tzu?" '

Dong Tzu is the fourth son of Dong Zhongshu. He is now a doctor of Taixue and the head of Taixue.

Pulling him can be said to be of great benefit, the Gongyang Confucian behind him...

Moreover, Dong Zhongshu has passed away, taking care of his heirs can also give Huo Guangbo a good reputation.

And after the last "Thousand Characters" cooperation, Huo Shan has a good impression of him, he is a pure scholar, and his character is not bad.

Huo Shan decided to pull him in. To be honest, Huo Shan just fell in love with Gongyang Ru behind him.

If Huo Guang can join in and become its principal, the benefits will be really great.

As for Huo Shan, in fact, he doesn't have to do anything, just one "Thousand Characters", Huo Shan is a generation of sages.

Huo Shan planned to name this operation "Operation Sunshine" in his mind.

Sunshine, promote light, promote Huo Guang!
After thinking about this matter, Huo Shan picked up the two pieces of cloth from the No. [-] box.

It is written with Arabic numerals and Chinese abbreviated numbers, from one to ten thousand, as well as the nine-nine multiplication table, the application of the table, and the method of making and using the abacus, as well as the matching abacus mental arithmetic.

He prepared this for Shao Fu and Da Sinong.

Huo Shan didn't really want to use Arabic numerals, but this thing is really convenient, so Huo Shan used it.

All in all, if you are afraid of trouble, you can use it directly if it is convenient.

As for how to explain, there can be many reasons, such as brought back by the Huns, such as found in classics from the West.

Only characters are used. As for the multiplication tables, they are all Huo Tan's.

Huo Shan took these things for no other purpose than to increase the efficiency of the country.

It takes a few months to pay taxes every year, let alone other things.

And never underestimate the wisdom of the ancestors. At this time, there are also formulas equivalent to multiplication tables, and chess skills similar to abacus, counting chips, but they are all lost to later generations.

Although these things are learned, they are not much worse than the nine-nine multiplication table and the abacus, but it is difficult to learn!

So in comparison, the multiplication table and the abacus are better to use.

.........

"I'm really a hard worker by nature, and I can't rest for a moment."

Just at this moment, Huo Ping reported outside the door:
"My lord, Zimeng Gong is here, and he is in the front hall."

Huo Shan showed astonishment: "Mr. Meng?"

Huo Shan guessed it was Huo Guang, but the name Huo Ping, um...

"If you go to attract them, they are all from my own family, so I won't go to welcome them."

Only acquaintances like Huo Guang knew Huo Shan's temperament, so they didn't take offense too much.

In this era when great men rule the world with filial piety, uncles and nephews do not welcome them when they come. If word of this gets out, it is inevitable that Huo Shan will be scolded.

He cleaned up the table and put the messy bamboo slips and cloths in order. After a while, Huo Guang was brought here.

As soon as Huo Guang came in, he glared at Huo Shan:
"No big or small!"

Huo Shan immediately showed a bright smile and stepped forward:
"Uncle, come in and sit down!"

Huo Guang gave Huo Shan a white look, Shi Shi ran in and sat down, waiting for Huo Shan to serve him tea.

Unexpectedly, Huo Shan yelled directly outside the door:
"Huo Ping, make tea!"

"promise."

Huo Guang rolled his eyes directly.

After the tea was brewed, Huo Shan held Huo Ping and began to order:
"Huo Ping, let Sun Shang go to the camp and bring Zhang Anshi here, and then go to the palace and bring Xiao Lizi.

Then please invite Sima Qian, the Taishi Ling, and then go to Taixue, and invite Dr. Dong Tzu to come! "

"promise."

As for the whereabouts, there is no need to order, Sun Shang will naturally arrange it properly.

"Zihou is preparing..."

Huo Shan smiled faintly:
"Preparing to make a commentary on The Analects of Confucius."

Just after hearing Huo Shan's words, Huo Guang was startled and asked quickly:

"Are you sure? Such classics cannot be annotated at will."

Huo Guang is indeed right, annotating classics, people without qualifications really can't annotate casually.

No reputation, no strength, no matter how good your annotation is, it is inevitable to be scolded and ridiculed by others.

Of course, with the reputation of Huo Shan and Huo Guang, there is no need to worry about this.

But if you are not sure, it is better not to comment.

Those old masters and great Confucianists will praise if the annotations are good, and if they are not good, they will also scold them, so they don't care who you are!
