Highlighting some of the 'key contents' and weakening the other part of the 'less important contents' may be quite difficult for Dongfang Shuo and Sima Qian.

For Yang Chuan, it's just a little hairy.

After experiencing the baptism of the advertising wave in later generations, it is naturally a piece of cake for such a trivial matter.

So, in just three or five days, a brand new "New Interpretation of the Analects" was freshly baked-

The original text of the Analects, in small five-size fine black characters, looks quite delicate; Dong Zhongshu's annotations, exegesis, and indexes use the small No. 7 imitation Song style, which not only looks delicate and pleasant, but at first glance, it is also quite a bit eye-consuming, if it were not for Sima Qian, Dongfang Shuo, and Zhang Tang's good eyes, they would almost not be able to see the content clearly.

As for the part of the 'half-talk'.

Well, since it's an important point, of course it needs to be bolded, enlarged, and placed in a prominent position as much as possible, as if it were ...... Ah, it's like a 'little poster' of some toilet culture in later generations, not only illustrated and illustrated, but also accompanied by dozens of extremely wild illustrations.

It is nothing more than Confucius punching the town of Guanxi, Confucius stepping on both sides of the river, Confucius tearing the tigress alive, and Confucius angrily rushing to the crown for a red face...... Ahem, the last one is crossed out.

"Look, how is the new interpretation of the Analects arranged and printed by Ben Hou himself?"

Yang Chuan lay flat on the mazhazi, comfortably enjoying the shoulders and legs of Cao Xiang and Huo Quai, and hummed comfortably: "It just so happened that Sang Hongyang helped us purchase a batch of pulp trees from the south, and Benhou asked people to deal with them on the spot, and they were transported to Shuofang County in one go, which just came in handy, and the rice paper produced was called an authentic!" ”

Dongfang Shuo, Sima Qian, and Zhang Tang listened with their eyelids jumping wildly.

Huo Quzhi laughed and said: "Dong Zhongshu of the dog day still wants to bully my brother, as long as the reader of Dong Zhongshu's lineage wants to print books in the future, he will do all of them." ”

Cao Xiang skillfully kneaded Yang Chuan's calves, and said with a very doggy smile: "Yes, yes, yes, just do it!" ”

Liu Man, Zhiniang, Naren Tuoya and Zhang Anshi, the four 'students', did not dare to bury their heads in their homework, and their faces were more ugly than the other, obviously, this was a 'unit test'......

"This one is just a sample book, if you think it's good, then print it."

Yang Chuan turned his head to look at Cao Xiang: "I've been a little tight lately, why don't you borrow another three hundred catties of gold?" Don't worry, when the wheat yellow is in June, I will pay you back with interest, how about it? ”

Cao Xiang said with a bitter face: "You owe me 1,258 catties of gold, 4,000 stone of grain, 150,000 catties of refined iron, and more than 900 carts of refined salt...... Finish! ”

Yang Chuan pushed Cao Xiang away and scolded angrily: "It's not just borrowing and not repaying." ”

Cao Xiang: "Have you returned?" ”

Yang Chuan laughed twice and muttered and scolded: "Even if I borrowed your money and grain from Pingyang Hou, wouldn't it be upside down to your uncle's house after all?" It's really not good, I'll write a letter to the emperor, and you go to him to ask for an account? ”

Cao Xiang: "Get out!" ”

A few people laughed.

"After all, laugh and laugh, I really don't dare to be careless about the matter of Tuntian," Yang Chuan rubbed his cheeks vigorously and said very seriously: "Print a few books by hand, this is all a gesture, not enough to worry about, in the final analysis, the main task of our few people is Tuntian;

You see, in ten days or so it will be the wheat season in June, will there be enough manpower? Is there a sickle for harvesting wheat? Has the site for stacking and drying grain been leveled?

Also, how is the warehouse being built? How much grain can it hold? Is it rat-proof, moisture-proof, and rain-proof?

Crucially, but has the training of the Yulin Army kept up? Recently, how many men and horses did the small force of the Huns touch in? What equipment? How is the combat power? Can it be wiped out in one fell swoop? ”

Yang Chuan raised a series of questions, and Cao Xiang and Huo Quzhi answered them one by one, but there was no sluggishness, and obviously they had corresponding solutions to these key problems.

Yang Chuan nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "A few days ago, I personally went to the field to see it twice, because our wheat seeds come from too many sources, and the wheat in the field is uneven, some wheat seeds have higher yields, and some have lower yields, which doesn't matter; The biggest problem is that the ripening is still out of sync, some wheat can be harvested, and the rest will take more than ten days;

Problems like this must be solved.

By the way, Mr. Dongfang Shuo, you can organize a group of women and children to sort wheat seeds, Weaver Niang is quite experienced in this area, you can go together. ”

Dongfang Shuo arched his hand and said, "Okay." ”

Yang Chuan thought about it sideways and continued to settle down: "The selection and cultivation of wheat seeds often require detailed figures, and you must not be careless, and you must do your best;

Mr. Dongfang Shuo, although your official rank is not high now, the key is that you have no military merits, even if my mother, Princess Pingyang, recommends it with all her might, you will not be able to get a decent title and official position in the court;

As long as the selection of wheat seeds can make achievements this time, all the credit will be yours. ”

Dongfang Shuo laughed: "Marquis Changning, you think of me Dongfang Shuo too much, just a title, official rank, can ask for the best, it doesn't matter if you can't ask for it, as long as you can increase the production of a pound of grain in our big man's field, even if you bury my Dongfang Shuo's old bones in the soil as fertilizer, it will be ...... Nope! ”

Everyone laughed.

This Dongfang Shuo, from time to time, comes to a cold joke, often makes everyone squirt, and is really a rare 'laughing star' in the Han Empire.

It's just that after this period of experience, there is no chance to perform.

After settling down in Tuntian, Yang Chuan and Huo Qubing walked into the back hall and planned the affairs of the Yulin Army, and the work of this morning was basically completed.

It's time for lunch.

Yang Chuan's food is as delicious as ever, even because of the recent 'life difficulties', only a few catties of lamb, cold salad seven or eight kinds of wild vegetables, plus a large pot of sour and pleasant slurry water, everyone still eats very fragrant; Especially Cao Xiang and Huo Quzhi, they even ate and drank with their bellies open, and each of them ate at least one or two catties of mutton and three bowls of slurry.

"Oh, only in your Yang Chuan's house can you have a full meal," Huo Quzhi stroked his bulging belly, and lay down on Ma Zazi very comfortably, "When I take a breath, I have to rush back to the barracks to ......"

At that moment, a man came in from outside the door.

But it's Dong Zhongshu.

"Pingyang Hou, Changning Hou, Huo Xiaowei, the three little masters, Mr. Dongfang Shuo, Sima Qian, Zhang Tang, are you all here?"

As soon as he entered the door, the old thief was a singer, and after greeting everyone, he wanted to sit down and eat in a serious manner.

Yang Chuan suddenly spoke: "Dong Gong, Ben Hou said that you will not go to my Yang family's door in the future, what, do you want me to break my word?" ”

Dong Zhongshu smiled, waved his hand indifferently, and said: "Haha, Changning Hou said that he laughed, the threshold in this world is the highest, but it is not as high as the threshold of the emperor's family, I, Dong Zhongshu, can enter if I want to, and go out if I want to......"

Before the old thief's words were finished, Yang Chuan turned his face directly: "Come on, withdraw from the table!" ”

"Zhang Tang, immediately send an order to send five hundred county soldiers to protect the Taishou Mansion, in the future, without the consent of the Marquis, no one is allowed to enter the mansion at will."

"Those who violate the order, regardless of their title, official rank, or reputation, will be killed!"

After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Dong Zhongshu with no chance to reason at all.

Is it, really when he, the Marquis of Changning, is muddy?

People say that the scholars of the Han Empire are the best at reasoning with people, and what they pay attention to is a 'convincing people with virtue', waving their fists at every turn to teach people, then send 500 county soldiers over, you go and reason......

……

The third day of the sixth lunar month.

Pinch your fingers and count, and then there are ten heads and eight days, which is the beginning of the 'dog days' in the lunar books of later generations, and a round of white flowers and flowers of the sun hangs high in the sky, and the heat is unbearable.

The wheat in the area of Shuofang County is about to ripen.

On both sides of the river, more than 100,000 people looked at God, for fear of floating a few cumulonimbus clouds; At this juncture, if a few rainstorms fall, most of the year's hard work will be in vain.

But fortunately, the sky was beautiful, and with the scorching sun for seven or eight consecutive days, there was not even a trace of cloud shadows in the sky, and the large fields of wheat soon turned from yellow to green, and then turned to gold.

In three or two days, the wheat will be harvested.

In the early morning of the tenth day of the sixth month, Yang Chuan, who had been closed for more than 20 days, finally walked out of the Taishou Mansion.

He looked up at the blue sky, felt the gentle breeze, and turned his head to look at the three little women behind him, including Liu Man, Zhiniang, and Naren Tuoya, as well as Sima Qian, Dongfang Shuo, Zhang Tang and other subordinate officials of the Taishou Mansion, and said with a smile: "The wheat is ripe, today, I will show you a new thing." ”

As he spoke, the father of the cousin strode over with a few half-sized sons, who carried a very strange 'machine' with four wheels and two small inclined troughs, as if they could be pulled by cattle.

"Xiao Langjun, what is this?"

Liu Man's personality jumped out, and he couldn't help but run over to check it at first, and his mouth was full of sighs: "Tut, these four wheels also have gears on them, and the gears are connected to the gears, driving the two iron saws in front of them to quickly intersperse left and right...... It should be a new machine for harvesting wheat, right? ”

Everyone stepped forward to check, and after listening to Liu Man's words, they naturally nodded yes again and again.

Sure enough, it's a 'harvester'.

Yang Chuan looked at this machine with a smile, and looked sideways at his cousin's father and the half-grown sons: "Have you tried it all?" The result? ”

Tangyi's father bowed down and said: "I've tried it, this harvester, pulled by two large animals, and a small group of six people take turns to cooperate, and nearly 100 acres of wheat can be harvested in one day and one night." ”

Harvesting nearly 100 acres of wheat in one day and one night?

The people present were taken aback and looked at Yang Chuan one after another.

Yang Chuan just waved his hand and said: "Since the debugging is appropriate, then it will be fully promoted, and the assembled 3,000 harvesters will be sent to the counties as soon as possible; Remember to match some more parts, and be sure to ensure that they can be repaired and replaced anytime and anywhere;

Let those craftsmen follow and give on-site guidance to ensure that every military household can master it. ”

Tangyi's father and others bowed: "No! ”

They carried the harvester into the Taishou Mansion and went to get busy.

Yang Chuan circled around the harvester a few times, chuckled, and said, "Who is that, Mr. Dongfang Shuo, you read a lot and are well-informed, why don't you give our harvester a name?" ”

Dongfang Shuo laughed, and turned his head to look at Sima Qian and Zhang Tang quite proudly: "Look, it's still Changning Hou who knows the goods, and knows that naming new things is my Dongfang Shuo's forte, unlike you Zhang Tang, who has a face all day long, as if I once bullied you, it's boring;

And you, Sima Qian, as Lang Jun of the Historian's Family, actually read a lot more than me, and his vision is much higher, but what's the use?

You historians, in fact, you are not as good as a fart, not to mention that the emperors of later generations secretly revised the history books, even a lot of historical documents under the nose, not a word from the emperor, what kind of bullshit do you want to dress up, what kind of look, can you bite someone? ”

Zhang Tang and Sima Qian were teased by Dongfang Shuo, and their faces changed slightly in anger, but they didn't say anything after all.

Who made Dongfang Shuo tell the truth?

However, including Yang Chuan, several people present did not dare to pick up the stubble, this Dongfang Shuo said nonsense without concealment, and some words reached the ears of the emperor, and he didn't know what trouble would happen.

"Changning Hou, in fact, what kind of harvester the full moon princess said is good, everything in this world has several names, only one is the most correct."

Dongfang Shuo walked up to the harvester and said in a deep voice, "However, we can find a way to make this name more beautiful and easier to remember; At present, it is the Yuan Shuo period of the Han Dynasty, the Marquis of Changning is in Tuntian, Shuofang County, and there is a Shuo character in my Dongfang Shuo name, so I have to take one of the "Shuo" words;

However, the original meaning of this Shuo is the first birth, the north, the first day of the lunar month, the rebellion of all peoples, the appearance is obscure and dark, the image is not beautiful, grand, and it is not very compatible with such good things as harvesters;

In this way, let's call it Dongfanghong Harvester...... How is it? ”

After listening to Dongfang Shuo's 'tracing the source' evidence, the others were still carefully calculating, deducing, and verifying, one by one's brows were tightly locked, and their faces were solemn.

Only Yang Chuan.

Well, a 'Dongfanghong harvester' that makes his knees slam off......

Even though he had known for a long time that Dongfang Shuo's mouth seemed to have been opened, and a few eye-shattering words would come out at every turn, but this 'Dongfang Hong' still made Yang Chuan feel a little unbearable.

Well, Dongfang Red is Dongfang Hong.

Who made this name so nice and domineering, and it is also full of connotation, just three words are enough to express Yang Chuan's state of mind at the moment: "Dongfang Shuo, you have a very good name." ”

Yang Chuan stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Dongfang Shuo's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You guy's mouth is really amazing, go back and find a few little women for you, hurry up and give birth to a few little Dongfang Shuo, just think about it!" ”

Dongfang Shuo rolled his strange eyes: "I, Dongfang Shuo, marry a wife, what do you Yang Chuan bring?" ”

The crowd laughed.

As a result, the name of 'Dongfanghong Harvester' was finalized......

……

It was the year, the fifth year of Yuanshuo, and the summer.

The wheat of Shuofang County is ripe.
