What does "early management" mean in classical Chinese?

First of all, contact the context, which is what the king and others discuss. You have translated the first sentence, so the first half of the sentence is easy to understand theoretically. beginning of spring was waiting for the weather in the third year of Kangxi, that is, when beginning of spring was in the third year of Kangxi, so what was the weather like?

[Li Houlai, an astronomer in the Tang Dynasty, recorded another method of waiting for the weather in the Book of Jin: "The cloud is buried in the room by law, or it is flat with the ground, and it is filled with bamboo poles, covered by law, and blown away by air." Small moves are peace; Fighting, weak monarch and strong minister; If you don't move, you will, and if you are strict, you will be violent. That is to say, in a house, there are twelve pipes buried in the positions of Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Noon, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai, so that the top of the pipes is flush with the ground. Then, fill the inner membrane of bamboo in the tube and cover the nozzle with gauze. When the weather arrives, the bamboo chips in the corresponding pipes will fly out, and the gauze covering the nozzle will also move with it. ]

So looking down at this point, we can understand it as first, front and front. Period, scheduled period or legal period with calendar. We already know how to wait for the air, so the pipe is ringing. The whole sentence is translated as the pipe is ringing before the scheduled time in the calendar. It is wrong to contact other people to participate in the discussion. It is a great sin to choose Rong's burial time.

I hope everyone will still pay attention to this issue and not ignore it.
