At that time, "Yuan History" was written by Song Lian as the head, and it only took nearly a year to complete the writing, with a total of 210 volumes.It took less than a year to write a dynasty, which is not hasty, but very hasty, so there are inevitably too many shortcomings.

What was the situation like?

The war has just gone through, the world has just settled down, the information the court has is very incomplete, and even if the information it has, there are many inconsistencies, the same place name, the name of the person has inconsistencies, and the rush of time has caused the content to be incomplete. Duplication of content and other shortcomings.

In short, "Yuan Shi" is full of problems.

All Hanlin knew that "Yuan History" should be rebuilt, and after 200 years of collection in the Ming Dynasty, the corresponding materials are already very complete, but why has it not been rebuilt?

Because this is a cumbersome project, it will take a long time.If there is no ten or eight years, don't try to rewrite "Yuan Shi".This is to put Luo Xin in the Hanlin Academy and prevent him from participating in government affairs. Luo Xin understands Xu Jie's psychology very well in his heart.

Zhou Yu and Xu Shixing are also learned people, so they naturally know the difficulty of rewriting "Yuan History". How many decades are there in life?After ten years have passed, I don't know how many opportunities will be missed. The hearts of the two of them are full of haze. They only feel that the sun and the moon are dark and the future is bleak.Zhou Yu was already used to looking at Luo Xin. Although Xu Shixing didn't have this habit, he admired Luo Xin's knowledge very much in his heart, so he couldn't help looking at Luo Xin.

Luo Xin accepted the task calmly, and waited for the three of them to leave Zhang Juzheng's room. On the way back, Xu Shixing hesitated to speak, but Zhou Yu, who was familiar with Luo Xin, couldn't help it anymore.

"No, how can you take on this task? Don't say there are only three of us, even if all the people in the Imperial Academy are gathered together, it will be impossible to complete this task within three to five years."

Luo Xin pondered for a while, and gave a deep salute to Zhou Yu and Xu Shixing.Zhou Yu and Xu Shixing quickly stepped aside and said:
"No, what are you doing?"

Luo Xin said softly, "It's the two elder brothers that I got involved with."

Both Zhou Yu and Xu Shixing knew about the affairs between Luo Xin and Xu Jie. In fact, no one in the court did not know about it. Hearing Luo Xin's words at this time, two such smart people naturally understood the cause and effect in an instant.

"Then you shouldn't agree." Xu Shixing said angrily: "Could it be that Xu Jie can cover the sky with one hand?"

"But..." Luo Xin showed a smile on his face: "It is a great honor to be able to complete "Yuan Shi", and it will be remembered in history. Don't you two brothers want this honor?"

"Of course I want to, but... ten years! No, it will take at least ten years! How many decades do we have?"

"It won't take that long!"

Zhou Yu and Xu Shixing paused in their footsteps, and looked at Luo Dao with burning eyes: "No, you... what do you mean?"

"Let's make a promise first." Luo Xin said with a mysterious smile, "We'll know when the time comes."

Xu Shixing didn't know Luo Xin well enough, but Zhou Yu knew that Luo Xin never lied, so he asked with bright eyes:

"No, how much time do you think we need?"

"One year." Luo Xin said confidently.

"One year..."

Xu Shixing opened his mouth wide, and his eyes were full of disbelief.But Zhou Yu's eyes were shining brightly, he believed Luo Xin without any doubt, if Luo Xin said it was a year, it was a year.

"Really?" Xu Shixing asked worriedly.

"Don't worry!" Luo Xin said confidently, "You will know in a month."

"Why does it take a month?" Zhou Yu also asked curiously.

"Because I need to send someone to Yanglin County to collect some materials."

Zhou Yu and Xu Shixing reacted immediately, and they asked almost in unison: "You have already prepared to rewrite "Yuan History"? To what extent?"

"We will know when the time comes!" Luo Xin said with a mysterious smile: "Starting tomorrow, we will sort out the Yuanmeng archives in the library first, and then we will be able to speed up."

"it is good!"

Zhou Yu and Xu Shixing immediately cheered up. If the three of them can really rebuild "Yuan History" within a year, it will not only be an honor that will go down in history, but also a legend that will be praised by future generations.It is of great benefit to their future career.

Therefore, when they arrived at the Hanlin Academy the next day, they took dry food and water and got into the Yuanmeng archives in the archives.There is a special storeroom for Yuanmeng archives. When three people opened the door, there was a musty smell coming from inside. The three stood outside the door for a full quarter of an hour before walking in. Except for the tables and chairs, the bookshelves that almost filled the warehouse were full of old and yellowed books and scrolls, giving the three of them a feeling that they were about to uncover the dusty history.

"hiss……"

All three of them gasped, even Luo Xin was no exception.Even if Luo had been prepared in confidence, he was a little silly at this time.

Luo Xin was indeed fully prepared. When he was still in Shanglin Village, he began to transcribe the articles in his memory. These articles included the Qing Dynasty's supplement and revision of Yuan History.It was written by generations of people for decades, with fruitful results,
Such as Shao Yuanping's "Yuan History Leibian", Wei Yuan's "Yuan History New Edition", Hong Jun's "Yuan History Translation Zhengbu", Zeng Lian's "Yuan Shu", Tu Ji's "Mongol History Records", etc.; "Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty" compiled in "Da Dian".These books have made many additions and textual researches to "Yuan Shi", but there are still many omissions.It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China that Ke Shaomin wrote "Xin Yuan History".

With these achievements, Luo Xin has sufficient confidence to rebuild "Yuan Shi" within a year, because he is standing on the shoulders of giants, and he is not yet a giant.

However, the materials obtained by these giants at the beginning must be different from the materials in the current Ming Dynasty archives. What Luo Xin and the others have to do is to make further supplements, and then synthesize the classics of those giants into a "Yuan History". This is much simpler.

Luo Xin took a breath and said: "One month, we only have one month to classify the classics here in detail, to ensure that we can find any information we want to find at that time. After one month, we will start to rebuild "Yuan History."

After returning home yesterday, Luo Xin had asked Lu Zhonglian to go to Yanglin County today to bring back his big box. Lu Zhonglian had already left the capital early this morning.Therefore, in one month, I am afraid that Lu Zhonglian will return to the capital in less than 20 days, leaving little time for the three of them.
