Chapter 172
Cai Yan didn't know why she had to read "Xunzi" so seriously. When she came to her senses, she was almost memorizing most of the content of "Xunzi".
Close your eyes and the content will emerge in your mind. Then, as a professional habit of proofreading books, she will slowly proofread and annotate, and then understand the contents more and more deeply.
"It seems you like it very much?" Liu Tao's voice came, which scared Cai Yan, who was reading carefully.
"You..." Cai Yan looked at Liu Tao, who seemed to be putting Zuo Chunqiu back, "Have you finished watching?"
"I barely recited it, but in fact, it is based on the "Spring and Autumn Classic". Whether it is Gongyang or Chunqiu, it is actually similar in events." Liu Tao said casually.
Just like reading two fan novels of the Three Kingdoms at the same time, historical events are actually the same, it is nothing more than the things the author wants to show differently, so the focus of historical events and the author's own views on this matter are different.
He understood that those who teach "Spring and Autumn" are all excellent novelists and older predecessors who are worthy of admiration.
After all, when later generations wrote a fan-travel article, they could make at most money. As for fan-travelers, these predecessors who wrote "Spring and Autumn" were basically all made a single official position.
"With that being said, the length of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn"..." Cai Yan couldn't believe how long it took.
"You can casually excerpt the content of a year and ask me, how about I recite it?" Liu Tao planned to satisfy her curiosity.
"Forget it, your time to read books is limited... Let's wait, when is it now?" Cai Yan shook her head. Lan Tai's chance to read books was very rare. She didn't intend to waste too much time on Liu Tao, but then realized a serious problem.
"It's less than an hour, and there's more than an hour left before going to the Yaya." Liu Tao replied.
"Oh, I still have something to do..." Cai Yan quickly put down the book in his hand and hurried to work.
"Since that's the case..." Liu Tao looked at the bookshelf, "I have to make up for the time I wasted on "Zuoshi", so I have to make up for it in other books as soon as possible, otherwise I will lose money today."
An hour later, Liu Tao challenged himself, and he was able to memorize about four books. But it is certain that four books are already the limit. After all, the memory is a bit blurry, not as sure as yesterday.
Just shorthand, that's it... Give him enough time to read and memorize it slowly, let alone ten or a hundred pieces.
When I left Lantai, I didn’t meet Cai Yan, and I didn’t know if she had completed her work. There should be no saying that she worked overtime in this era, at least it was not good to stay in the palace, and the guards of the guards were not easy to provoke.
When he returned to the military camp again, Liu Tao had already seen that Lu Yan had bought a lot of wooden boxes and came back.
"A corner of our camp was almost filled with wooden boxes." Liu Tao sighed. He had specially laid a tent specifically for installing these wooden boxes, which shows how many.
"There are many books to be copied, and there is no way, how many have I recited?" Lu Yan stepped forward and asked.
"The Six Strategies, Grandson, Three Strategies and Zuo's Spring and Autumn." Liu Tao replied immediately.
"There are actually four copies, so you have to copy them quickly... By the way, don't your brother dislike "Zuoshi"?" Lu Yan was a little confused. Could it be that his brother changed his nature?
"I just look at "The Ram". To be honest, I admire Zuo a little." Liu Tao sighed.
"The Spring and Autumn Classic" is 1,800 words, and "The Spring and Autumn Period" is more than 250,000 words. I didn't know it before, but I could understand it carefully. It was probably like expanding the "Three Kingdoms" into "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and 350,000 words into 640,000 words.
Luo Guanzhong expanded the famous battles of the Three Kingdoms, and added some private goods at the same time, writing 290,000 words. "Zuo Shi Chunqiu" also expanded the classic events in "Spring and Autumn Classics", adding private goods, and then expanded 240,000 words.
Compared with the 30-volume "Zuoshi Chunqiu", which has only 11-volume "Gongyang Chunqiu", which has a far inferior in terms of readability and excitement.
It’s no wonder in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu reads the Spring and Autumn Period in his spare time, and he really savors it as a novel.
"Why do I think my brother's admiration... and my admiration should not mean the same as my impression?" Lu Yan looked at Liu Tao suspiciously, and then complained without hesitation.
"Because your guess is correct..." Liu Tao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go eat, wash and start copying! I'll put some effort into copying "Six Strategies" tonight."
Just looking at the pinyin, Liu Tao is the same as him, Liu Tao. Maybe he has a fate with him, so he simply copied it himself. Of course, the most important thing is that the "Wen Tao" chapter was copied yesterday.
"Let's forget it, just my brother's word. I'm afraid I'll copy it again in the future." Lu Yan refused.
"Anyway, I have to change something to copy in the future. If I don't practice calligraphy, the problem will be even bigger." Liu Tao shook his head and signed a document in the future. As a result, it would be too bad to give it to the officials below.
"That's it... then brother is casual." Lu Yan thought about it and felt that his brother's words were still very reasonable. Besides, it was really too tiring to copy the four books. It would be nice to copy multiple people, but it would be ugly.
"Slowly, brother, there is no need to copy "Zuo Chunqiu"?" Lu Yan suddenly thought of something, "My father sent a set of "Zuo Chunqiu" and we don't need to copy this."
"Okay, I've been in vain..." Liu Tao suddenly looked sad.
Lu Yan was about to say something, but he didn't expect that there were soldiers outside to report, and a scholar came to find Liu Tao.
Liu Tao and Lu Yan were stunned when they heard this. What scholar would come here at this time? Lu Yan looked at Liu Tao, who shook his head, and finally walked out of the camp to see who was the sacred place.
"Is it you?" When Liu Tao saw the beauty in men's clothing in front of him, he was a little disbelief.
"Can I stay here for one night?" Cai Yan said embarrassedly.
"Why?" Liu Tao was very confused. The main reason was that the relationship between the two was not as good as this. It can't be said that Cai Yan is the type who can take the initiative to throw herself into her arms after meeting her twice, right?
Uh... Actually, it's nothing. It's great to think about it carefully. I don't suffer any loss anyway...
"The palace ban has passed... I can't get out... If I am caught by the Weiwei, it will be difficult to deal with." Cai Yan said with a little twisted attitude.
Lan Tai Lingshi called her over to help because of her father. But as a woman, even if she is a proofreader, she was formally organized and found out that she would be unlucky, let alone her, Lan Tai Lingshi would be in trouble.
When she left the palace under the ban, the inspection was much stricter than usual. She was worried that something might happen, so she could only find a way to stay overnight. Lantai was definitely not possible. She thought about it and had no place to go. Suddenly she thought that someone was a general of the Yulin Central Army and had a camp in the palace.
"If you are not afraid, then of course I will have no problem." Liu Tao smiled at her and said slowly.
