"Ah Guang, if we go to see Aunt Sima like this, how should we explain if she asks?" Li Yan's current identity is Huo Xian, but Zhuo Wenjun is clear. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa" (Pingnan Romance)

"Don't worry, Aunt Sima's heart is dead, and she doesn't care about everything in the outside world." Huo Guang said with some regret that since Sima Xiangru's death, Zhuo Wenjun's heart has indeed died.

Li Yan nodded, and didn't say anything more, compared to Yu Huoguang, Li Yan knew Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun better, and she knew the relationship between the two better.

In fact, about Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, there is another diametrically opposite understanding in later generations. In order to satisfy the public's curiosity-hunting mentality, some so-called scholars look for some vague and biased records in history books, and then describe Sima Xiangru as a negative man who has been chaotic and abandoned.

Originally, in the memory of later generations, Huo Guang also agreed with this view, but after the time, with the familiarity and understanding of this era, Huo Guang found that the so-called scholars in later generations were completely grandstanding. Although Sima Xiangru did want to take a concubine twice in history, he was moved by Zhuo Wenjun and gave up, of course, this has become a place where some people in later generations criticized Sima Xiangru.

And the reason why Huo Guang is so disgusted with the so-called scholars and experts in later generations is because Huo Guang finds that these people's interpretation of history is completely detached from the historical period and looking at problems. Regarding Sima Xiangru's concubine, later generations of people will demand Sima Xiangru from the social form and moral standards of later generations, but these people ignore the most basic point, that is, Sima Xiangru is a person from the Western Han Dynasty. You must know that in this period, marrying a few concubines is like buying a few more clothes, a man with a prestigious status and no concubine room is abnormal, and even if Sima Xiangru has the intention of marrying a concubine, he still does not have a concubine in the end, which not only does not show that Sima Xiangru is unkind, but it is the best proof of his relationship with Zhuo Wenjun.

To look at historical events and figures in isolation from historical periods is in itself a misunderstanding of history and extremely irresponsible.

"Yan'er, if my brother wants to marry me a few concubines in the future, will you be angry?" Huo Guang sat in the carriage, ignored Zhen Youcai and the old seven, and asked Li Yan directly.

"Why be angry? Not to mention that in the future, even with Ah Guang's current status, you should have a few concubines. How can I alone ensure the continuation of the Huo family and the prosperity of the heirs? Do you want to exhaust me? Li Yan asked puzzled, if her words were placed in the future generations, it is estimated that no woman would be able to say this, but Li Yan took it for granted.

Huo Guang nodded and smiled, this is the difference in history, the huge difference in people's moral standards and thoughts. Even if Huo Guang's thoughts in the future life are dedicated to loving Li Yan alone, there will be no other women in this life, even if Huo Guang thinks so, Li Yan herself will not agree.

"Listen? It's the sound of the green Qiqin, and Aunt Sima is at home. Unconsciously, Huo Guang's carriage came to Zhuo Wenjun's house, and Huo Guang heard the melodious sound of the piano from a distance.

"It's indeed the sound of the piano, but why is this sound different from before?" Li Yan listened attentively, looked at Huo Guang with some confusion and said.

"Stop, don't go over yet." Huo Guang also looked puzzled, and at the same time ordered Lao Qi to stop the car.

After the carriage stopped, Huo Guang continued to listen to the sound of the piano coming from Zhuo Wenjun's courtyard, indeed as Li Yan said, the sound of the piano today was very different from what Huo Guang had heard before. The first time Huo Guang saw Zhuo Wenjun, he appreciated her piano sound, and Huo Guang also praised Zhuo Wenjun's piano sound for three days, so that people can perceive the artistic conception in the piano sound, and listen to the piano sound to emerge in their minds.

At that time, Zhuo Wenjun's piano sound was emotional, and it was a smart picture, but today Huo Guang heard only a simple piano sound, empty and godless. This obviously shows that Zhuo Wenjun's heart is indeed dead!

"Ah Guang, it seems that it is really as you said, since Uncle Sima died, my aunt has been like ashes!" Li Yan could also feel the change in the sound of the piano, and said worriedly.

At this time, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Huo Guang and Li Yan looked at each other. Lao Qi, who was driving, was a rough man, and he didn't understand how much to say in the sound of a piano, so he asked.

"Forget it, it's not good for us to go now, let's turn around and go back!" Huo Guang thought about it for a while, now that he and Li Yan are going, it will only make Zhuo Wenjun miss Sima Xiangru more, it is better not to see him for the time being, and come back when there are good countermeasures to open her heart knot in the future.

On the way back to the city, Huo Guang and Li Yan were not in a good mood, they didn't talk much along the way, and the main purpose of this trip Huo Guang didn't mention a word, as if he had completely forgotten Li Cai's field in Yangling.

It's just that after entering Chang'an City, Huo Guang said to Zhen Youcai: "Youcai, do you remember the Lu Shu we found when we were in the Sanjue Temple?" Go find him, and take him to the county office to see me early tomorrow morning. ”

"Well, remember. He seems to live in Nanli, so I'll go and tell him now, and let him come to the county office early tomorrow morning. Zhen Youcai nodded and replied, this Lu Shu is the person who once praised Huo Guang's papermaking process after seeing the papermaking process in Sanjue, and praised this as a way to make money.

"Remember to be polite to him, if it was I who invited him." Huo Guang added that he had actually had the idea of letting this Lu Shu build a papermaking workshop as early as Sanjueguan. Lu Shu is just an ordinary person, in case Zhen Youcai doesn't make his words clear, it is not beautiful to make Lu Shu worry all night.

Although Huo's family is not short of money, no one will have too much money in any era, and Huo Quzhi's industry is not Huo Guang's own after all, with the improvement of his status, Huo Guang will definitely have a lot of places that need money in the future, which makes him have to open up his wealth early.

And this first financial road Huo Guang chose to make paper, because paper is still a scarce resource, and with the promotion of paper, there are huge changes to the entire social culture, the simplest is that the spread of book knowledge will be accelerated. And this can not only bring money to Huo Guang, but also earn him huge prestige.

You must know that before the improvement of papermaking, books were almost unique in the entire society, and even now a large number of classics only exist in the Tianlu Pavilion of Weiyang Palace. In this era, many people are even proud of reading classics, although books like "Spring and Autumn" and "Zuo Chuan" have also been circulated in the upper class, but places like Wu Di Shu Di are far away from Chang'an, and the collection of books in those local wealthy families is just that someone in the family once copied in Chang'an, or re-carved it from memory.

Once the paper is used on a large scale and reaches the level of being registerable, I don't know how much shock this will have in the upper class, because the number of books is also a measure of whether a family is strong. Even if printing has not yet appeared, even hand-copying is much faster than burning bamboo slips, and it is more convenient to transport and disseminate paper books.

Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as Huo Guang arrived at the gate of the county yamen, he saw a man in sackcloth standing at the yamen and looking around. When Huo Guang saw this person, this person also saw Huo Guang, and then hurriedly ran to Huo Guang, bowed down and said, "Xiaomin Lu Shu meets the county commander." ”

"Hehe, excuse me. I didn't expect you to come so early, but I made you wait for a long time, so follow me in and talk. Huo Guang looked at Lu Shu with satisfaction, this person is quite clever, and more importantly, he is from a humble background, and such a person is easier to control.

Lu Shu respectfully followed behind Huo Guang, and behind Huo Guang, Zhen Youcai and the old seven and eighty-three people were still holding a small wooden box in their arms.

"Put down the things, you go out first, I have something to talk to him." Zhen Youcai and others put three wooden boxes in Huo Guang's room, and then Huo Guang left Lu Shu alone.

The first time he entered the county office, he still entered the room of the county office, Lu Shu looked very nervous, kept his head down, and kept groping his hands on his body, as if he was very uncomfortable.

"Hehe, you don't have to be nervous. I came to you today to pay you back, and the official wants to ask you for a favor. Huo Guang walked into Lu Shu and said in a relaxed tone.

"The little people don't dare, as long as the adults tell them, the little people are sent to go to the soup and the fire!" Lu Shu had been excited all night last night, and he knew that it must be a good thing for Chang'an Ling to find him, but when he really got here, he still lost his senses.

Huo Guang smiled slightly when he saw this, he was naturally clear about Lu Shu's mentality, and continued disapprovingly: "It's not that serious, remember the paper made last time, this official opened a papermaking workshop, and then he will build a commercial house to do papermaking and selling paper." I want you to help, and if you agree, you'll be solely responsible for the matter. ”

"Yes, 10,000 grass people are willing to ......" Lu Shu was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down to pay respects. He didn't expect Huo Guang to be so generous, and he actually handed over the entire papermaking and sales industry to his own management, and this trust made Lu Shu suddenly have the intention of swearing to serve Huo Guang.

"Very well, I hope you don't disappoint this officer. This box is the flow chart of papermaking, and the other two boxes are fifty catties of gold, a total of 100 gold for your start-up capital. Do you see any problems? As Huo Guang spoke, he opened three wooden boxes, two of which were indeed full of golden cakes.

"No problem, no problem. Your subordinates will not disappoint your adults! Lu Shu said without hesitation, he was a person who had participated in papermaking, and knew that Huo Guang's method of papermaking did not require too much money. A hundred catties of gold, Lu Shu didn't know what a huge papermaking workshop he could build. At this time, Lu Shu naturally changed his name, originally calling himself a grass man, but now he has become a subordinate.

"Well, that's fine. This is just the initial funding, I will give you some more in the future. But I also have a request that you improve the papermaking process, with the goal of making paper that can be written in ink. If you can complete it within three months, you will be rewarded. Huo Guang did not doubt Lu Shu's ability in this regard, and finally made a request.

"This ...... The subordinates will not let the adults down, and in three months, they will make paper for the adults to write in ink! Lu Shu thought for a moment, and then replied firmly. Mo is not unfamiliar to the Western Han Dynasty, because this thing has existed in slave societies as early as before. It's just that paper didn't appear, and there was no good carrier for him to become a raw material for writing, and there were not many uses for ink until now.
