Fox of France

If he could pass the test easily in this way, then Napoleon would really have to go back and thank God sincerely. But there is nothing so cheap in the world. Sure enough, Joseph spoke again:

"Napoleon, in order to get the support of those guys, you spent a lot of money from the family, right?"

As soon as he heard this, Napoleon knew that something was wrong. When Joseph is involved in money, he seldom has a good time to talk.

"Joseph, I..."

"The guys at the École Normale Supérieure may just want to give you a queen from the École Normale Supérieure de Paris, they won't ask you for money directly. But Mr. Lavoisier, hehe, I know him very well, based on your relationship with him Is it possible to ask him to help you like this without money? Besides, Mr. Lavoisier has made a lot of money over the years, and his vision is much higher than before. Hehe, it didn’t cost much to bribe him before. If you want to buy him off now, the price must not be low, right? Tell me, how much benefit have you given him?"

Napoleon knew that the eldest brother was in charge of the family's finances, and these things could not be hidden from him. As long as he went to investigate, he would definitely find out. Therefore, Napoleon never thought of hiding Joseph in this matter. Now that Joseph asked, Napoleon had no choice but to confess honestly. Although Napoleon also understood the truth of being frank and lenient, and sitting in prison.

"What? You prodigal son! You gave him so many benefits? The old bastard is so greedy now, he should really be fed to the guillotine. Well, Napoleon, and you, you are too shameless, I am so mad Class! Why are you so stupid, can't you even bargain? If it were me, the price could be cut by at least half, and if it were an Indian, it could be cut in half! God, you really can't Bargain, and Lucien is better than you!"

"Lucien refused to participate, he was worried..." Napoleon said.

"Lucien, if you don't report the conspiracy, you are complicit. You have worked in the Ministry of Truth for so many years, don't you even understand the most basic truth? Either tell me immediately when you discover this conspiracy; or try your best to help Napoleon No matter which option you choose, it’s better than this! You’re such an idiot!” Joseph scolded.

Lucien looked at the eldest brother and the second brother, but did not dare to speak.

"Lucien, you have to write a self-criticism, 5,000 words, to touch the soul, and give it to me tomorrow!" Joseph said.

"Oh." Lucien immediately agreed, anyway, he has already prepared many sets of review templates, what is this?

"Napoleon, you have caused huge economic losses to the family, so you will also be punished. From today onwards, half of your dividends will be deducted as a fine until you make up for this loss."

Napoleon thought about it in his mind, and felt that although the general dividend was cancelled, although the amount was quite large, it would not have any impact on his living standards, so he quickly expressed his willingness to accept the punishment.

"As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem." Napoleon said to himself silently in his heart.

"Also, Napoleon, since you are already a member of the French Academy of Sciences, you can't just take the Academy's allowance for nothing. So you have to participate in some of the work of the Academy of Sciences," Joseph said again.

"No problem, no problem." Napoleon said quickly.

"Originally, according to the rules, you should still be in the probationary period. But you broke the rules and made you a full-fledged academician—I was a probationary all those years ago!" Joseph was a little dissatisfied when he said it, "I Regardless of whether you are official or not, you have to do some things that should be done by trainee academicians!"

An important job of the "trainee academician" is to review papers. Every year, many papers are submitted to various affiliated journals of the Academy of Sciences. Reviewing these papers is a heavy and difficult job. Therefore, most of the formal academicians are unwilling to do such things. Of course, considering that there are many trainee academicians in the Academy of Sciences, and that if Napoleon is really too busy, he can still arrest those people from the Paris Ecole Normale Supérieure as substitutes for him, so Napoleon thinks that this matter should be nothing to deal with.

"That's no problem. Being able to serve the Academy of Sciences is something I've always longed for." Napoleon hurriedly said.

"Okay then, I'll arrange for you to review the paper in the journal Mathematics." Joseph said.

Napoleon was still very satisfied with the result of the night. He felt that although Joseph was annoying at times, he was still his brother after all. Today, this can be regarded as a typical example of picking it up high, putting it down gently, and punishing it with three glasses of wine.

Joseph moved quickly, but two days later, Napoleon got a large stack of papers to be reviewed that had been sent to him.

Anyway, Napoleon has nothing to do at the moment, just treat it as another kind of leisure and relaxation. So Napoleon really read the paper seriously.

Looking at it, Napoleon understood why no official academician was willing to do this, and only "trainee academicians" would take care of this kind of thing. And the "apprentice academicians" would definitely not want to do this job if they didn't want to become a full-time member as soon as possible. Because the level of these papers, how to put it, most of them are really not very good. The so-called "papers" of many guys are so full of loopholes that Napoleon felt that such things should be thrown into the joke column of "The Sun".

"This is completely a civil science!" Napoleon threw a paper on the table, then picked up a pen, and wrote comments.

"This 'paper' has the problem of using other equivalent propositions as axioms in the first paragraph. There are obvious logical loopholes at the beginning of the label 1, 5, 7, etc., and even 6 in the label 3. There are also glaring calculation errors.

Audit result: failed.

Suggestion: The author should retake elementary school mathematics. "

Finished the first paper. Napoleon picked up the second article, read it for a while, and then began to write comments:

"There is no problem with the argumentation process. Although it is a bit long-winded and cumbersome, at least there are no mistakes. The argument is also a very important issue, and the conclusions drawn are also very correct. But, is it meaningful to re-invent the wheel? It took a huge amount of space, Is it necessary to prove a theorem that the ancient Greeks proved in one-fifth of the space?

Audit result: failed.

Suggestion: After completing the compulsory education, the author should continue to study. "

Basically, most papers are something like this. After looking at it all day, Napoleon didn't find anything eye-catching, but his stomach hurts from laughing.

He conveniently threw aside another paper on civil science, and Napoleon saw the following very thick paper. The title of the paper was "A Strict Proof of the Principles of Geometry and the Theorem of Parallel Lines". As for the author, it was a A little-known man named Lucien Evans.
