    Luo Xiahong was leaning against the window and looking at the starry sky. Originally, he had no intention of coming to Chang'an, but he couldn't stand Zhuo Junchen's teasing, and finally reluctantly agreed to come to Chang'an with Zhuo Junchen.  Along the way, he also heard Zhuo Junchen talk about many little-known deeds about Huo Guang, and he also had some expectations for this young general.  However, seeing Huo Guang today he didn't pay much attention to it, so Luo Xiahong thought of returning to Langzhong again. He had decided to leave and go back to his hometown in two days if Huo Guang didn't summon him.

    "Junior Huo Guang pays homage to Mr. Changgong. I have been neglectful today. I hope you will forgive me!" Huo Guang suddenly bowed to Luo Xiahong outside the window, his body almost forming a right angle.

    "Thisgeneral, please come in quicklyyou're such a bad guy!" Luo Xiahong was startled by Huo Guang's sudden move, and heard Huo Guang introduce himself as a junior.  Self-proclaimed, even more flattered.

    When Chao can worship the name, the generals who are in power and the world will be flattered for himself.

    Luo Xiahong quickly walked to the door, opened the door and welcomed Huo Guang into the house.  At this time, he also discovered that Huo Guang didn't even wear shoes.  Just at this time, Zhuo Junchen also hurried over, holding Huo Guang's shoes in his hand.

    "This" Luo Xiahong looked at Huo Guang and Zhuo Junchen in confusion.

    "It's so rude I just heard about Mr. Chang Gong's deeds, and Guang was yearning for it, so he came here in a hurry Look at this" Huo Guang took the shoes from Zhuo Junchen with an embarrassed look on his face.  As he said that, he stood outside the door and put on his shoes randomly.

    "Haha the name of the eldest son can make the general drop his boots and greet him. This incident is a story that will last forever!" Zhuo Junchen said with a smile at the side.  He was also happy that his old friend, who was like a heavenly being, could receive such attention from Huo Guang.

    "I heard that Sir can increase rice production by 20%. If this is true, it will be a blessing for the great man and a blessing for all the people!" Huo Guang couldn't wait to talk after entering the room.

    Huo Guang was not familiar with the name Luo Xia Hong, and he did not even have this person in his memory. However, today Zhuo Junchen said two things about Luo Xia Hong. This was more exciting for Huo Guang than for him to meet a famous person who has been famous for many years.  Huo Guangdu had never been so excited.

    "It's not Lao Cai's fault, but actually the disadvantage of the calendar. Lao Cai just asked the farmers to sow at a suitable time. If the general wants to promote it, he only needs to reset the calendar!" Luo Xia Hong smiled, a little understated.  said.

    "Reset the calendar" Huo Guang repeated in a low voice.

    "How do you say this?" Huo Guang continued to ask. Perhaps no one in this era can match Huo Guang in terms of overall vision, but in some professional fields Huo Guang is also a layman.

    Luo Xiahong twirled his beard and said slowly: "The calendar used in the world today is still the Zhuanxu calendar of the pre-Qin Dynasty. In fact, there are serious deviations and errors. Nowadays, the astronomical phenomena and the calendar can no longer correspond. In fact, it is urgent to revise the calendar!"

    Huo Guang nodded slightly when he heard the words. He basically understood the meaning of Luo Xia Hong's words.  Today's celestial phenomena are no longer consistent with the celestial phenomena calculated from the calendar. In the words of this era, it is called chaos of the heavens. It may feel a bit mysterious to say it. In fact, in this era when the imperial power is mandated by the sky, chaos of the heavens is indeed a major matter, and may even cause chaos.  directly affect governance.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty was unable to maintain astronomical institutions. The heroes of the Warring States Period began to formulate their own calendars, and various countries set up private astronomical institutions. This phenomenon was regarded by the people of the world as a disorder of heaven, and an era of great strife came into being.  Although today in the Han Dynasty, the princes have not blatantly decided on private calendars and observed stars with great fanfare, many people have realized that the calendar does not match the celestial phenomena.

    "I was negligent. Mr. Tomorrow, he followed me to Changle Palace to meet His Majesty. Even His Highness Taisun and I cannot make our own decisions on such a major matter as rebuilding the calendar. But there is one thing that I don't understand. This calendar does not match the celestial phenomena. How could it happen?  What's not good for farming and mulberry?" Huo Guang said to Luo Xia Hong solemnly. When he calmed down, he realized that the importance of the calendar is also the foundation of the country in this era. These are things that he had neglected before.

    In the past, Huo Guang only led the army to fight or govern a place, and did not need to consider many things. Now that he has taken charge of Chang'an, he has discovered that there are actually too many things to consider in order to govern this huge country. Those so-called experiences of later generations are in  It may not be useful in this era.

    "Because people sow and harvest according to the calendar, but now the calendar is deviated, the sowing time has actually missed the best time, and the difference between these two days will affect the changes in climate and rain in the following months. Grain  Reduced output is naturally unavoidable!" Luo Xiahong can be called an all-rounder of this era, and he is the kind of all-rounder who is proficient in everything.  Through several years of observation, he found that if crops miss the best time for planting, the yield will naturally decrease, or the growth cycle will be too long, or the grains will begin to wither before they are full.??.

    "So that's it" Huo Guang suddenly realized that he knew that the planting time of various crops in later generations of agriculture was very strict.  And if the calendar itself is wrong, the initial deviation of one or two days may not have any impact, but as time goes by, the deviation will become larger and larger, and the impact on crop growth will naturally be greater.

    Originally, the farming population of the Han Dynasty was getting smaller and smaller. If coupled with the reduction in grain production due to calendar deviation, it is no wonder that the Han Dynasty was not as good as each year.

    "I heard that Mr. Changgong also made an armillary sphere and an armillary elephant. I wonder if he brought it to Chang'an? I really want to open my eyes!" Huo Guang only knew that there was something called an armillary sphere in ancient times, but he did not know the origin of this object.  It had already appeared during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it was made by an unknown person.

    "Actually, the Armillary Sphere and the Armillary Elephant can be integrated into one, and it can also be called an Armillary Sphere. However, this object is still in Langzhong, which disappoints the general!" Luo Xiahong also said quite proudly. The Armillary Sphere is the crystallization of his life's hard work, and even more  It was an artifact that he created based on the Huntian theory and completely negated the Gaitian theory. In his heart, it was a true sacred artifact.

    "By the way, can this armillary sphere calculate when there will be a lunar eclipse? When will the next one be?" Huo Guang suddenly asked inexplicably.

    Both Luo Xiahong and Zhuo Junchen were slightly startled by Huo Guang's question, because lunar eclipses during this period were also considered to be warnings of natural disasters and regarded as ominous omens.

    "What? The general seems to be looking forward to the lunar eclipse? Isn't the general afraid that this is an ominous sign?" Luo Xiahong looked at Huo Guang and asked seriously for the first time.

    "Actually, my teacher once said that the stars in the sky all go their own way, and they come and go again and again. It has been established for a long time, and it is not changed by the changes in the human world. I was just a little curious when I thought of my teacher!" Huo Guang is already very good at telling lies, especially when it comes to this topic.  The mysterious teacher who appears to be a non-existent person comes at your fingertips.

    "Haha The general is indeed a very good person. I also had an occasional experience a few years ago, and I thought that the eclipse of the sun and moon was just a normal change in the celestial phenomena. It goes back and forth like the four seasons. It is really a normal celestial phenomenon. Dear Lord.  The teacher is very knowledgeable and has long understood the principles of heaven and earth. Luo Xiahong just regrets that he was born at the wrong time. It is really a pity in life that he cannot ask his seniors for advice in person!" Luo Xiahong suddenly became interested and felt that he was late to meet Huo Guangda.  a feeling of.  Then when I thought of that miraculous master who had long been known to the world, I felt filled with regret.

    "ActuallyI once calculated that if there will be a lunar eclipse this year, it should be a few months later. But I have forgotten the specific date and time." Luo Xiahong did not forget Huo Guang's question, which was very common.  said.  When it comes to these professional fields, Luo Xiahong looks like a scientific madman.

    "Sir, do you mean in a few months? Or even accurate to the specific time?" Huo Guang asked eagerly, the look of anticipation on his face becoming more and more obvious.

    "Indeed, I dare to ask, I wonder why the general is so concerned about this matter?" Luo Xiahong's expression straightened. He could feel that Huo Guang was so concerned about the lunar eclipse. It was definitely not just curiosity and interest, but seemed to be related to something.  Earth-shattering event.

    When Huo Guang heard Luo Xia Hong gave a clear answer, his face was filled with joy. Then he stood up solemnly and bowed to Luo Xia Hong.

    "This matter is of great concern, sir, please forgive me for not being able to tell you the details, but if you can really calculate the date of the next lunar eclipse, this achievement will be regarded as the greatest achievement in pacifying the Xiongnu in ancient and modern times, especially above my uncle and brother.  "Huo Guang looked serious. At this moment, he was not talking about astronomical calendars, nor any hobbies, but real military affairs. As a general, he was talking about a major event related to the fate and turning point of the Han Dynasty.

    "This" Luo Xiahong was at a loss. He never thought that his lifelong research career would be linked to the fate of this country.  He was the first to conquer the Xiongnu in ancient and modern times. This title is too heavy, and his achievements surpassed those of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.  Luo Xiahong couldn't understand and didn't dare to think about it, but he was sure that Huo Guang, the most powerful general in the Han Dynasty, was not joking with him!

    Luo Xiahong has been speechless for a long time, but in his professional field, he can confidently say that he can.  But Huo Guang asked so solemnly that Luo Xiahong didn't dare to promise lightly.

    "I will first make a model out of bamboo strips, and then I will need the best blacksmiths to build the components of the armillary sphere. I will also need a hundred craftsmen who can make the arrangements at my command. If the general needs the most accurate time, he will also need a spacious place.  , the height of this armillary sphere will be no less than three feet, and the circumference will be more than ten feet." After a long time, Luo Xiahong said solemnly, and he made many requests, as if what he was planning to build was an instrument that surpassed the technology of this era.  .

    "Okay, I will meet all your requirements, and I will also dispatch the best Mohist disciples to assist you. In addition, I will send the Sifang Pavilion toA vacant land next to it is allocated to you. I wonder how long it will take to complete the construction?  "Huo Guang agreed without hesitation.

    "It would be great if there are disciples of the Mohist family to help. As long as everything goes well, it can be completed in more than a month." Luo Xiahong regained some confidence. He already knew the news of the birth of the Mohist family. To say that the best craftsmen are naturally not from the Mohist family.  Disciple is the only one.

    "In that case, let's just wait and see for Mr. Changgong's good news. Calendar matters can still be postponed, so please take this seriously!" Huo Guang bowed solemnly again. In his opinion, nothing could be predicted from the lunar eclipse.  Importantly, even the calendar reset needs to be postponed.

    "Of course I won't disappoint the general. In factBrother Junchen and I brought something this time. This thing may be able to defeat the general's armored cavalry" Luoxia Hong bowed  She responded, but the last sentence shocked Huo Guang again!
