Chapter 169 Beginning to Compile ([-] Begging to Subscribe)
A group of people walked to the back of the mansion and came to a small courtyard. It is estimated that everyone will be busy here in the next few days.

Huo Shan asked people to move all the things they needed into this small courtyard.

Entering the room, four desks are arranged on both sides, with one desk on top.

All the pens, ink, papers and inkstones were placed neatly on the five desks.

There are many bamboo slips and cloth on a large table in the middle, which are all materials.

Huo Shan stepped forward, picked up the cloths he took out from the dark room, and put them directly on the desk above.

After turning around and sitting down, he looked at the four people who were already seated:
"Let's get started, uncle will host, and the other three will fill in the gaps."

"promise."

Huo Guang nodded, and the other three saluted and agreed.

Huo Guang glanced at Huo Shan, he was already busy with his own affairs, Huo Guang glanced at the three of them again, took a deep breath and was about to speak, but was interrupted directly, and almost lost his breath.

"and many more!"

Several people looked over the low table in the middle and looked at Dong Tzu, even Huo Shan was no exception.

Dong Tzu picked up a piece of paper with two characters written on it, "Zi Yue", he asked curiously:

"What is this?"

Huo Guang and Sima Qian hadn't noticed yet. After hearing the words and taking a look, they picked up one on their desk and looked at it.

Huo Shan gave Zhang Anshi a look, and then worked hard with his brows.

Zhang Anshi received the gaze and began to explain:
"This thing is called paper. It is a writing thing. The little gentleman improved it from straw paper. The battle report was written with this thing."

Speaking of this, Huo Guang and Sima Qian thought about it and nodded again and again.

And Dong Tzu didn't read the battle report, so he just sighed again and again:
"It's a good thing, it's much more convenient than the bamboo slips. I don't know how much it costs?"

Zhang Anshi glanced at Huo Shan, saw that he didn't respond, and continued:
"The cost is very low, and it is made of bamboo, bark, straw, etc."

Hearing this, the three of them couldn't sit still, their faces were stiff, and their eyes were full of shock!

They were lamenting the convenience of paper. They thought that such a good thing should be very expensive to make, and it might be able to replace cloth if it is cheaper.

But I didn't expect that it was just made of some bamboo and bark.

What does this represent?
Bamboo slips are bulky and hard to carry, cloth is expensive and cannot be afforded, but with paper...

The biggest feature of paper is its convenience and low price.

Convenience can be replaced by cloth, and cheap bamboo slips can be used, but what about combining the two?

Not to mention that paper is more convenient than cloth and cheaper than bamboo slips, this...

Several people looked at each other and keenly discovered the point.

No way, you have to be shocked, this is the effect of a bolt from the blue for every scholar.

After Huo Shan finished writing a sentence, he raised his hand and looked at the crowd and said:

"This item is still being kept secret. I hope everyone can strictly guard it. When this "Annotation to the Analects of Confucius" is completed, it will be the day when paper was born. Let's print a hundred thousand copies and release it."

After speaking, Huo Tan picked up the pen, dipped it in ink and continued to write.

The three first saluted and agreed, then Sima Qian looked at Huo Shan and asked:

"Print [-] copies?"

Seeing that Huo Shan was silent, Sima Qian turned his attention to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said:
"Little Junhou has developed a printing technique. With paper, let alone [-] copies, even millions or tens of millions of copies can be printed."

The three of them stood there dumbfounded as if they had been struck by a thunderbolt.

Huo Guang couldn't help thinking:
'With paper and printing, it is complete! '

At this moment, Zhang Anshi felt very refreshed. Looking at the faces of Huo Guang and the others, he remembered that he was the same as them when he heard Huo Shan's introduction paper for the first time.

When the three of them reacted, Huo Guang stroked his beard and started laughing, while Dong Tzu and Sima Qian looked at Huo Shan warmly.

Dong Tzu thought of Dong Zhongshu's book "Spring and Autumn Fanlu", and Sima Qian thought of his unfinished history book.

If it can print a million copies, let alone a million, it will be a hundred thousand, then...

Huo Shan wrote dry ink, looked up at them again, and said lightly:
"Let's get started!"

"promise."

The three responded, Zhang Anshi had a normal attitude, Dong Tzu and Sima Qian were very loud, and they were full of enthusiasm at the moment.

Sima Qian grinned from ear to ear. From his point of view, based on his relationship with Huo Shan, when his history books are written, can Huo Shan not print them for him?

But Dong Tzu felt ruthless in his heart, and he was ready for sleepless nights. He was ready to start a fight to the death.

As long as Huo Shan can agree to help his father print "Spring and Autumn Fanlu", then even if he dies here, it's no big deal.

And they never doubted the authenticity of Zhang Anshi's words in their hearts.

The paper is here, and if Huo Shan said he had the printing technique, then he must have it. Is there still not much that Huo Shan has brought out?

And Dong Tzu had the idea of ​​dying because Huo Shan didn't speak, and his father's book couldn't be printed!
This is something you know when you think about it.

Moreover, he never had the idea of ​​papermaking and printing, and he didn't even dare to think about it.

Because I dare not!

Don't mention Huo Shan's strength, just talk about the top man, Emperor Liu Che.

What they can see, Liu Che can't see?
If you want to play these two things, it is no different from courting death.

And Huo Shan really had this idea.

Huo Shan never thought about making paper and printing techniques public, at least not in a short period of time.

Because mastering these two things is equivalent to mastering the lifeblood of a scholar.

The world is bustling, all come for the benefit, and the world is bustling, all go for the benefit.

This is something that [-]% of people can't escape!

As for fame and fortune, fame comes first and profit comes later!
For scholars, or for ninety-nine percent of scholars, fame is something that they can never give up in their lives.

Do you want to be famous all over the world?Do you want to leave your name in history?
And Huo Shan holds something that can make them famous all over the world and leave a name in history.

If you still want this name, then you have to come and beg me.

If you don't come, someone else will come, and others will make a name for themselves, you can only watch.

Even if you just look at it, how can you not have a few enemies in your life!

That's why Huo Shan felt that paper and printing were enough.

If you have these two things in your hands, then you are considered a dandy, and those scholars can blow you up as a great Confucian.

Being arrogant and domineering is equal to being chivalrous and righteous, with a heroic demeanor; disrespecting etiquette is equal to being free and easy, being a celebrity, and there are many ways.

And if you want to say that the happiest person in this room is of course Huo Guang, everyone is laughing from ear to ear.

The first classics recorded on paper, as long as you don't write like stinky shit, it is inevitable for that generation of great scholars and famous scholars to be famous in history.

.........

Huo Shan secretly glanced at the crowd, seeing their different expressions, coughed lightly, and everyone woke up.

Huo Guang took several deep breaths in a row to calm down, and then asked with a smile on his face:

"Everyone, shall we begin?"

The three nodded, and slowly calmed down their emotions.

To do something, you have to act like you are doing something, especially for this kind of book writing, you don't dare to be sloppy at all, otherwise it will be a disaster for the world.

Huo Guang saw that everyone was ready, and the waiters around him had also polished the ink, and said:
"The Master said: Learning and learning from time to time, isn't it easy to talk about it? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends come from afar? People don't know but are not stunned. Isn't it a gentleman? What's the explanation?"

First Dong Tzu spoke:
"Isn't it very pleasant to review and practice frequently after learning the knowledge? Isn't it very pleasant to have like-minded people come from afar? I don't resent or get angry when others don't understand me. Isn't it just a virtuous gentleman? ?"

Huo Guang looked at Sima Qian and Zhang Anshi again, and they both nodded.

"can."

Then the four of them took the paper and wrote it down.

At this time, Huo Shan raised his head and asked with a surprised face:

"End?"

The four nodded, and the annotation was like this in their eyes.

Read the original text once, then explain it orally, and then memorize it in ancient Chinese with your own words.

Then add some of your own insights, and then focus on explaining some difficult points, and then it's over?

Huo Shan was a little speechless, and waved:

"let me see."

Xiao Lizi brought over the four people's paper, Huo Shan scratched his head and looked at it, and it was exactly as he expected!
The four of them have their own way of notation, they have not escaped the scope of the past, they are still written in ancient Chinese, the simpler the better, the fewer characters the better.

Huo Shan frowned and thought for a while, then thought for a while and said:
"It's my fault, I didn't make it clear to everyone, this commentary is for beginners.

Moreover, what you commented is too thick, so it needs to be thinner. "

The four of them looked at Huo Shan without speaking.

Huo Shan paused for a moment, then continued:

"What I mean is, one sentence in the original sentence, an explanation of the difficult points in the original sentence, a sentence of spoken language after that, and an opinion at the end.

And you can't add your own personal feelings, you can write whatever you want, which is no longer applicable to the knowledge of this era, and you have to indicate it. "

All four of them frowned. They could understand the original sentence, difficult points, and insights.

Even if the latter can't add personal feelings, they agree very much.

But if you have to add spoken language and the indication that it is not applicable at this time, they will not be able to accept it.

Sima Qian frowned and asked:
"Why do you want to add spoken language? Not to mention the space, but..."

Sima Qian didn't continue, but Huo Shan understood what he meant.

It's just that no one has done this before, and the spoken language has lowered the grade, so the writing should look like writing.

Huo Shan looked at Sima Qian and continued:
"As I said just now, this commentary is for beginners, in a word, it is suitable for both old and new.

Beginners can understand what they have learned, and old masters can also verify what they have learned.

Moreover, with this thing, what does it matter if it is long or not? "

Huo Shan finally picked up the paper and shook it.

The four of them loosened their frowning brows and lowered their heads in thought.

After a while, the four of them responded one after another:
"can."

Because it's a good thing, they have no reason to disagree.

In the past, when writing books and biographies, the shorter the length, the better. I wish I could condense a dozen sentences into one sentence.

This kind of thing is not because everyone wants to specialize in the advanced level, and thinks that the higher the depth, the better.

Most of the reasons are due to carrier limitations.

A volume of bamboo slips is only so big, you can write 30 to [-] characters, and a book is as big as a small mountain of bamboo slips, there is no desire to read it at all, and it is not easy to spread.

So I started to concentrate, and gradually it became a habit.

Now, as Huo Shan said, with paper, these are no longer a problem, and it is a good thing that with spoken language, it is easier to understand.

"Then are there any other questions?"

Dong Tzu glanced at the three of them and saw that they didn't mean to speak, so he said:

"Little Junhou, this knowledge mark that does not adapt to the times, what is the explanation?"

Huo Shan guessed that they would ask this question, and he had already thought up his words just now:

"When did Confucius live?"

"The end of the Spring and Autumn Period."

Huo Shan nodded, looked at him and said:
"It's almost 400 years ago, the sea has changed, and the times have changed. Do you think the concept of governing the country of that era is still suitable for this era?"

Dong Tzu let go of his frowning, as did the other three.

Dong Tzu nodded, and cupped his hands at Huo Shangong:
"I understand."

After all, Dong Tzu is not an old master who follows the ancient system, he is a "new era" scholar.

His philosophy is inherited from his father Dong Zhongshu, and the most important point of Dong Zhongshu's philosophy is great unification.

This point conflicts with Confucius's philosophy of governing the country, so he is very persuasive.

The same goes for the other three, Sima Qian also inherited from Dong Zhongshu.

Huo Guang was self-taught, and so was Zhang Anshi, but they were all deeply influenced by Huo Shan, and their thoughts and ideas were more advanced than Sima Qian's.

Not to mention that the two grew up in the concept of unification since childhood.

"And I didn't say to eliminate it.

Although this knowledge is not in line with this era, there are also many reasons and righteousness in it, so we only need to mark it as not applicable, and the annotation should still be annotated. "

Then everyone nodded with wide smiles.

Huo Tan picked up his pen, took a piece of paper, stood up, and walked to the table in the middle where the materials were placed.

Xiao Lizi quickly brought over the inkstone, and everyone got up and came over.

Huo Shan looked up and glanced around, then said:

"I'll set a template standard first, how about you take a look?"

"Template Standards..."

Sima Qian bowed his head and muttered. It was a new word, but it was easy to understand.

Huo Shan smiled and glanced at him:
"what happened?"

Sima Qian waved his hand:

"nothing."

"Okay, let's start."

Huo Shan picked up the pen and wrote down the original text of the first sentence of the first article:

"The Master said: Learning and practicing it from time to time, isn't it also said?..."

After Huo Shan finished writing, he pointed to the long string of words without punctuation and said:

"This is the original text."

The crowd nodded.

Huo Shan didn't plan to show the punctuation at this time, he will definitely show it in the future, but let's talk about it later.

"The next step is to explain the difficult points, for example, what does 'zi' mean?

It means a person with status and knowledge, and sometimes refers to men in general.

What do you mean by learning? What do you learn?What does Shixi mean? "

The four opened their mouths wide and looked at Huo Shan.

You can be more detailed, but this is too detailed, you are explaining word for word!
