Chapter 36: , The misfortune and the cloud of revolution

Joseph submitted the "four-color problem" to the Academy of Sciences, and he really baffled the guys, including Laplace. Everyone studied for a while but couldn't come up with a solution, even a feasible solution. , For the time being, neither. And everyone, including Laplace, has their own research, and it is impossible to spend all their time on such topics. So in the end, just like Joseph said, the Academy of Sciences simply revealed the topics to the world. Call for answers.
　　 Joseph originally raised this question because he wanted to pit his horse. Based on Joseph's previous life experience, generally speaking, the folk sciences are more in physical chemistry, but very little in mathematics. But what he didn't expect was that the reason why there were fewer people in mathematics in later generations was because the mathematics problems of later generations were no longer understandable by those in people, so the people in mathematics in later generations Less, it's not because they have any awe of mathematics, but because they don't even understand the questions!
　　 But the "four-color problem" is a problem that everyone-of course, including people like Marathi-can understand. So as soon as the announcement of the reward came out, the Academy of Sciences immediately received a paper from Marathi, which is said to be a perfect solution to this problem. Then Laplace just glanced at it and saw seven or eight errors. Then, the paper naturally went where it should be.
　　 However, Mara did not give up, and sent this "paper" to Joseph. He also stated in the letter that he believed Joseph would definitely see the value of his paper. At this moment, Joseph realized that he was self-defeating, dug a hole, and buried himself in it.
　　Mala’s "papers", like all "civil science papers", are full of various problems, ranging from derivation errors to conceptual errors, which can be said to be everything. Joseph also found seven or eight problems with just one glance.
　　 "If Napoleon wrote this, or any of my other students, I must have his open!" Joseph cursed while gritting his teeth, and had a headache as to how to reply to Mara.

It’s really not easy to find the
valuable things
in this
paper
. If you have to say there is something
valuable
in this
paper
, it must be fearless courage. After all, the ignorant is fearless.
Joseph couldn't help but complain in his heart.
　　 "But in the reply, you can't always praise his'courage', right? Mara is indeed a folk, but he is not a fool. If he praises him like this, he will definitely think I am mocking him."
So Joseph had to turn over Maratha’s flawed "thesis" and studied it for a long time, and finally found something worthy of praise: "Well, although the derivation of this paragraph is not rigorous, but some The idea is still interesting. Ah, let's blow this paragraph hard first."
　　 So Joseph began to write a letter to Mara. In this letter, Joseph used two entire pages to praise Maratha's short analysis. The tone of compliment even made him get goose bumps all over himself.
"I am so nauseous, I am about to catch up with the king of digging lotus roots? Unexpectedly, I will be like this for the sake of the meal. Alas, earn money, business, not shabby." Joseph spit on himself while continuing to write reply.
"Now it's time for a turning point, but it's time." Joseph thought so, and wrote under his hand: "But there are still some minor problems with this paper. For example, in... Mr. Laplace believes that There are logical loopholes in the argument, and I overlooked... You may not know that people who do mathematics are a little bit paranoid. Mr. Laplace is very paranoid about this type of problem, so he believes that this paper did not successfully prove this. I guess..."
　　 wrote "but" in a few sentences, and led the disaster to Laplace. Then Joseph completed his reply. Then he carefully absorbed the excess ink on the letter paper with blotting paper, sealed the letter and sent it back. As for how Marathi will hate Laplace after receiving the letter, it doesn't matter to him. Considering that Laplace used his set of things in his previous life and caused him many headaches, Joseph felt that his conscience would be better all at once.
This trick did work. Soon after, Mara sent a reply again, thanking him for his affirmation, and expressed anger at the "conventional guys" in the Academy of Sciences, and it faintly revealed that one day I will come back. After entering the station, we must drive these guys out of the Academy of Sciences, and then let young pioneers like Joseph take charge of the Academy of Sciences. I believe it will definitely make the science of France shine.
　　 "Is this ‘if I am the Qing Emperor in his year, I will bloom with peach blossoms’?" Joseph couldn’t help laughing.
　　Mara does have the day to get up, but that is still a future. And for the moment, he climbed up, and he wouldn't have too much malice towards Joseph. So for the time being, the matter of Mincomara can come to an end. Now Joseph's attention can be focused on his younger brothers again.
　　 Napoleon no longer needs Joseph to bother now. He has returned to Corsica and will not be back for a short time. As for Louis, who is still young, Joseph Tho found a good elementary school and let him study in it. As for Lucien, Joseph arranged for him to enter his alma mater, the School of King Louis.
　　 Lucien’s performance at the Louis Grande School is certainly not as conspicuous as Joseph’s, but he is also good academically, and he performs well in speech and performance. Joseph has now removed the screenwriter of the Dragon and Rose Troupe, but his connection with the Troupe is still there. Relying on this relationship, he also allows Lucien to appear in guest roles in the theater from time to time. According to the head of Thenardier, "He is a born good actor". It's just that Joseph hadn't seen Lucien's performance with his own eyes, so he didn't know how much exaggeration there was in Thenardier's words.
　　 In addition, Joseph also invited an Austrian musician named Fraser to teach Lucien piano. According to the musician, Lucien is a little late to learn piano, but he has good talent. If he is willing to work this, he will not have the chance to reach the level of performing on stage in the future.
　　 Actually, Joseph did not require Lucien to reach such a level. In his vision, Lucien would be responsible for literary and artistic propaganda in the future. He does not need to be proficient in various arts, as long as he has a little knowledge.
　　 However, Lucien seems to be really talented in these aspects. He even wrote a few small scripts recently and wrote a few small tunes himself. Joseph has seen and heard these works. To be honest, they are not very good, but they are still passable.
　　Because of his performance, Amon simply pulled him into his "Spartacus" creation group, and often pulled him out to discuss scripting issues on weekends.
　　 Time just flows away gradually. It was 1789 in a blink of an eye. In the past two years, France’s finances have reached an unsustainable level, and King Louis XVI had to propose tax increases to avoid total bankruptcy of the Royal Government. French society is divided into three levels, namely priests, nobles and commoners. The first two classes occupy a large amount of social wealth, but do not bear much tax. These two levels naturally resolutely oppose tax increases on them, and with their political power, they do have the power to oppose it. Therefore, the only goal of tax increases is naturally the third level.
　　 In order to increase taxes, the king had to reconvene the three-level meeting that had been suspended for 175 years to find a solution to the financial crisis.
"The King of France is an idiot. He would come up with a stupid way of convening a three-level conference at this time!" Napoleon mocked the King of France mercilessly in a letter to Joseph. Do you know how much dissatisfaction and resentment the third level has buried against him? If he does not hold a third-level meeting, these anger is only hidden, and there will not be much danger for the time being, but what kind of third-level meeting he has called! Does he not know that this will give those who oppose him a chance to organize? Individual people are always timid, and they are weak, even if they have resentment in their hearts, they dare not do anything. But Once they get together and organized, they have the courage and strength to fight with lions or even dragons. People are like locusts. When they are not in groups, they are just unworthy grasshoppers. That's it, but once it becomes a swarm, it is an unstoppable locust. And the fool gave those who opposed him such an opportunity, a chance to unite them from grasshoppers to locusts. This fool must be I thought that the third-level guys would pay the money obediently, or at the most, even if they refused to pay, there would be no trouble, but there are still people watching it..."
　　 Joseph completely agrees with Napoleon's judgment. In fact, as the third-level representatives gradually concentrated in Paris, the entire Paris was in turmoil. Some pamphlets became popular among citizens. Some of these pamphlets introduce the knowledge of the three-level meeting to the citizens. Most of these "knowledge" have a certain direction. On the one hand, they are introducing what taxes the king plans to increase and how to further exploit everyone. Such propaganda makes Paris civilians who are already living a difficult life worrying.
At the same time, because of the widespread spring drought in the northern provinces, and out of concerns about possible large harvest failures, starting with grain merchants under the command of a few large nobles, almost all grain merchants began to resort to the practice of reluctance to sell and sell them on the market. There is less and less food in China, and prices have naturally risen. The rise in prices further stimulated the trend of hoarding and reluctance to sell, and the continuously rising food prices made Paris complain. At this moment, Amon found Joseph again.
