The Liu family is also a common surname in the capital. Although it is not as deep-rooted as Qi Doulu, during the tenure of Emperor Lizong, it has become more and more famous as a royalist.

Conservatives have always been the stronghold of vested interest groups, and even the Astromancer group will circle outside the conservative camp from time to time. The clever thing about the Liu family is that while being in the conservative camp, they closely follow the footsteps of His Majesty the Emperor.

For this reason, they did not hesitate to offend great nobles, great families, and even star warlocks.

Ten years before Lizong, the Liu family faced dangers several times, but they always managed to escape due to the shifting battles. The key figure among them is the old man of the Liu family.

Today, although Mr. Liu has entered a state of semi-retirement, he still seems to be a representative figure of the royalists with many disciples and former officials. Every time before and after festivals, the emperor never forgets to send a gift, which is just written in his own hand. The Liu family has collected dozens of couplet poems and books, which is evident from their honor and favor.

In addition to this, another reason why the Liu family is attracted is the warlock Liu Kuangxing. Although five servers have been released, after many twists and turns, the Liu family finally found a way to contact them - the Liu family needed to borrow the reputation of the fourth-level star warlock, and Liu Kuang also hoped to have a strong support in the court. On the other hand, Although Liu Kuang never married a wife, his children and nephews still hoped to be cared for by some big shots.

Even though his own family was extremely weak, Liu Kuang's relationship with the Liu family was not like that of relatives but better than that of relatives.

Cheng Jinzhou held the invitation from Mr. Liu's family, and it felt like he was holding a red-hot brick. It didn't matter if he lost it or not.

"Have the people who come returned home?" Cheng Jinzhou unfolded the invitation, which only said, "Please tell me."

Just six characters, with flying dragons and phoenixes, steel and iron bones, and the writing is very heavy, giving a rather resolute look. It's just that there is not a single extra character in the middle of the entire invitation, which is extremely concise.

Cheng Jinzhou's teeth were itching from chewing, and he felt he had been discriminated against. But he didn't know that if an invitation like this from the Liu family was sent to an outside state or county, it wouldn't be difficult to become a county official.

How could the old man of the Liu family write the invitation to anyone else casually?

"The visitor has gone back." Shi Mo said, feeling secretly frightened. Such behavior that was not in line with noble etiquette did not give Cheng Jinzhou, his prospective grandson-in-law, face. As servants, they did not want to know about such things.

After a day, Cheng Jinzhou, who had been promoted to the first level Star Warlock, looked at the invitation calmly and was being rubbed back and forth by the maid. He thought to himself: Since the emperor's old man's urine is completely different, replacing the chamber pot with a toilet will not help.

Thinking of this, he said decisively: "I won't go see you. Bring me a pen and paper."

Shi Mo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to say a word. He went to the room to sharpen the ink very quickly, using only the water left after rinsing his mouth.

Cheng Jinzhou hung his arms slightly and wrote a line in extremely ugly handwriting: I'm a little busy, I'll talk about it another day.

After writing, he flicked the wolf hair and said: "Go and give it to the Liu family."

Shi Mo almost cried as he leaned over and looked at the note written by Cheng Jinzhou. Regardless of the writing style, who knows what the Liu family's attitude will be if I look back at this sentence.

Shi Mo swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Third brother, this is a letter written by the old man of the Liu family. Your reply will definitely be seen by the old man."

Shi Mo didn't dare to remind anyone that the errand of delivering the letter fell on anyone, but when it fell on him, he couldn't help it anymore. The second and third generation sons like Cheng Jinzhou may not care about the power of the Liu family, but they know it clearly as slaves. In fact, the servants of each family have always been the most aware of the changes in the hierarchy in the capital - when driving on the road, who gives way to who; You can't be confused and you can't be ignorant.

Cheng Jinzhou said firmly: "Go and deliver it to the Liu family."

He can clearly distinguish the priorities of things. Not only that, he was even more worried that the old man of the Liu family would not have the same idea as him - to put someone under house arrest in the house. For the royalists, it would not be too surprising to imprison an astromancer for several years with the tacit approval of His Majesty the Emperor. Although they may be under great pressure as a result.

Pressure is pressure after all.

Cheng Jinzhou got dressed and was ready to take the car outside.

Before the horse moved, Cheng's father appeared out of nowhere and stopped it personally. He waved his reply note in his hand, threw it on the ground, and said angrily: "How dare you reply to such a letter to the Liu family."

"That's how they sent it." Cheng Jinzhou looked for Shi Mo with his eyes, but the latter hid behind several attendants and did not dare to come out.

It turned out that this guy didn't dare to deliver the letter directly. He first went to the household department to find Cheng Yun'an who had gone to work early.

Cheng's father ignored Cheng Jinzhou's actions and threw the letter to him and said, "I will personally send you to the Liu family. The old man of the Liu family is also your elder. You must fulfill your filial piety."

If you talk to him about ethics and education, you won't be able to explain it clearly. Cheng Jinzhou pulled him and sighed: "Dad, are you really not afraid that I will be killed?"

Cheng Yun'an was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "He is your elder, how could he harm you?"

"If I were a stupid scholar, of course he would not harm me. I am a star warlock now." Cheng Jinzhou showed the useless star array on his left arm and said: "In case the Liu family leans towards the emperor, as soon as we enter, A group of swordsmen rushed out. Could it be that the Roujiang family set up a lobby for us to complain? The old man of the Liu family has never wanted to see me. Look, we have been in the capital for so long. Have your children and their relatives invited us into the house once? If so, They can play some role. You are going to be in charge of the household department. Why do you have to mess around? How can Hou Wenwu dare to touch me, a star warlock? He is impatient when he is attacked on both sides. "

He was alarmist, but Cheng Yun'an hesitated. On that day, Liu Bin got married to him. Apart from liking Cheng Jinzhou and finding a way out for his daughter, he was more or less excited - the Liu family is the Liu family, and Liu Bin is Liu Bin. When Liu Bin was alive, the Liu family naturally doted on his daughter, but if he was convicted of the land reform, his daughter's fate might not be much better than a life without a family. "

Cheng Jinzhou was familiar with his father's temperament. If he said, "I will be put under house arrest," Cheng Yun'an might say, "Then you go and try."

But when it comes to life and death, indecisive literati will become suspicious.

They don't understand mathematics, and they don't know that they can ignore the small probability. What they think about is, if it really happens...

Thinking about defeat before thinking about victory is really the best excuse and the panacea of ​​inactionism.

After appeasing his father, Cheng Jinzhou bent down to pick up the note, flicked it with his fingers, and beckoned: "Shi Mo, come here."

"Third brother." Shi Mo looked sad and didn't dare to say anything more.

"The letter is secure."

"Hold it tight." Shi Mo took the letter from Cheng Jinzhou and rubbed it hard on his clothes.

"Now you go to the Liu family to deliver the letter. You are not allowed to talk too much nonsense. When you come back, you can pick up 20 small plates by yourself. Remember?" Cheng Jinzhou's voice was cold and stern, with an unmistakable command tone.

Shi Mo didn't dare to say a word, so he knelt down and kowtowed: "Third brother, don't worry, I will definitely deliver the letter."

Cheng Yun'an looked at his son as if he didn't recognize him, and was a little surprised by his methods. 20 The small board was slapped on the back. If it was really hit, he would definitely not be able to get out of bed for half a month. He didn't really care about the punishment of a certain servant, but Cheng Jinzhou's behavior would inevitably affect him at home. authority is in conflict.

Before he could think clearly, Cheng Jinzhou had already said goodbye and left.

As a father, Cheng Yun'an also has a long way to go.

…

In the long-lost outer peninsula, people are healthy, living happily and having political stability.

There are no officials who do bad things, no officials who are corrupt, no officials who collect taxes, and no officials who spend money. The peripheral peninsula where residents are autonomous is almost the template of a small European country. If Rousseau saw it, he would probably drool with envy.

This is an island that cannot be replicated.

Cheng Jinzhou moved back into Liu Kuang's Star Warlock Tower.

Although Liu Kuang has a close relationship with the Liu family, he is fully confident that even if Mr. Liu Kuang, a fourth-level star warlock, does not support him, he will not cause harm behind his back.

There are no fools among the Star Warlocks - except for Lu Xu - and every action of the Star Warlocks representing the association must be in the interests of all Star Warlocks. The political help that the Liu family can bring is far from enough to make Star Warlock Liu Kuangxing betray the Star Warlock Group.

To some extent, the high costs and low benefits of betraying the group by the Star Warlocks make it almost impossible - just like robbing the Chinese government bank in the mid-20th century, which is probably a case of mental illness. The moment when a disciple shows his true self.

Before the people who came to congratulate and say hello arrived, Cheng Jinzhou opened the ring and said, "Mr. Ke, seeing that half of the money has been consumed, can you help me find a specific book?"

Among the books he has obtained, Brunnwick's "A Concise Manual of Distillation" and Appianus's "Astronomy" are both books that are very suitable for the times, especially the latter, which records in detail the determination of longitude during a solar eclipse. , the tail of a comet carrying the sun, etc. Although there are many restrictions, it is a type that can be used.

Judging from the previous choices, except for "Elementary Mental Arithmetic Tutorial", the quality of the cheated books is obviously higher.

Customer Service 010 said without any consideration: "You have more and more requests. It is impossible for me to meet your requirements for specific books. This is completely contrary to the rules of the system."

Cheng Jinzhou coughed, covered it up and said, "Mr. Ke, I'm in a very difficult situation now. I wonder if you know."

"Do not want to know."

Cheng Jinzhou chuckled twice and said, "Even if you don't want to know, it's okay. In order to raise 16 million star yuan, I ran all over the warehouses around Daxia. As a result, I was chased and killed, and I ended up here."

"oh?"

"If you can help me find a book about microscope making, then I can avoid disaster by asking for help. Otherwise, the next time you see me, it is likely that the person who helped me collect the body will be the one who helped me collect the body." Cheng Jinzhou Pretending to be pitiful, he really needed the help of Warlock Cao Fengxing.

Although the second uncle Cheng Yunxiang sent 15 servants, Cheng Jinzhou believed more in the combat effectiveness of the Star Warlock.

And last time, Hou Wenwu brought an unlucky star warlock. It is not impossible for people who do not know the truth to get involved.

Relatively speaking, he also believed more in the dull warlock Cao Fengxing. Who knows what other lively gentlemen would think when faced with his danger.

"You want me to get you a book and bribe others to get better benefits?" Customer Service 010 also put away his airs and counterattacked with harsh words.

Language is the least powerful when it is harsh.

What Cheng Jinzhou was afraid of was that customer service 010 would throw away his hands and leave. What would it matter if they started talking about it. Now it seems that there is indeed something wrong with customer service 010, which caused him to change dramatically.

Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng smiled softly and said: "You can also understand that I want to better serve the Star Alliance, so I need a little help. Of course, this book must be attractive enough."

He needs the help of Cao Fengxing Warlock, which is not the help that can be obtained by posting employment information in the Star Warlock Association. At the same time, he also has extremely high requirements for the quality of the book.

Customer service 010 wanted to refuse, but Cheng Jinzhou quickly said: "If the content of the book is satisfactory, I can buy 200 books directly."

"300 copies." This number is almost reaching the level 4 requirements of the Star Alliance.

Cheng Jinzhou wanted to hold the neck of customer service 010 for a while longer, and said with a smile: "250 copies, let's learn the language without listening."

"Okay, two hundred and five." Customer Service 010 agreed and said in a flash: "120,000 words, are you sure?"

"OK." Cheng Jinzhou was full of energy.

""Refractometry", German, whether to translate it."

Cheng Jinzhou immediately said: "Translate."

As a bad student of physics, Cheng Jinzhou knew he had found a treasure just by looking at the name of the author of "Refraction".

Kepler. This physicist, who was born in the late 16th century and flourished in the early 17th century, is indeed the most suitable choice for the astrologers of the 17th century level. His three laws of Kepler made him the top physicist of the 17th century.

His life experience is also very lucky and enviable. He studied at the oldest university in Germany - still very old compared to the era in which he was born - and received a bachelor's degree and then a master's degree, and then stayed at the school to teach. This was just the first step in becoming the envy of college students after the 1990s. . Next, Mr. Kepler wrote an astronomical book based on Copernicus. Like most Chinese students and young professors, the content of the book was completely wrong. To put it bluntly, it showed excellent performance. Mathematical ability.

So Tycho, who was weak in mathematics but had great astronomers, recruited him as his assistant in Prague - a new chapter in a standard academic career.

Then, the next best thing came, poor Tycho died the next year. Kepler, who had only been at the observatory for a few months, was appointed by the Roman emperor to succeed Tycho as royal mathematician, God knows how. The best thing is that the great astronomer Tycho was a very, very careful observer. Judging from his actions, if you are in the United States around the 21st century, most of you will be diagnosed with paranoid mental illness - in Without a telescope, he recorded the movements of the planets in detail for many years, rain or shine, which is extremely valuable. With decades of persistence and accurate astronomical work, it is no exaggeration to say that it is unprecedented and unprecedented. Mr. Kepler On this basis, the laws of planetary movement were explained using mathematics. There was some difficulty. The key point was to break the concept that the planet's orbit was a circle or a compound circle and use an ellipse to calculate the planet's orbit. But if you consider that there were so many talented mathematicians at the time, Other people's speculations are not supported by Tycho's records. Kepler's great achievements are almost as if they were picked up for free. After this astronomical research, which was definitely worthy of winning the Nobel Prize, Kepler's main research in his longer life was optics: he expounded the principle of refraction of light, laid the foundation for the refracting telescope, and built a The Kepler telescope, which is more advanced than the Galilean telescope...

Although the Galilean telescope was no different from the telescope assembled by monkeys, in the 17th century, the upgraded Kepler telescope still aroused Cheng Jinzhou's interest.

In fact, Cheng Jinzhou really didn't know where concave lenses and convex lenses were used.

He studied theoretical physics, not engineering technology.

Although he was very satisfied, Cheng Jinzhou said deliberately: "The main things in this book are telescopes, which are different from microscopes."

Customer Service 010 made a weird sound, and said with a cluck: "The first time the telescope produced a real image of inverted magnification, the second time it produced a virtual image of upright magnification; the first time the microscope produced a real image of inverted magnification, the second time it produced an upright magnified real image. Virtual image. Both are one upright and one inverted, one real and the other virtual. You should be able to adjust it yourself."

Cheng Jinzhou listened blankly. He never thought that customer service 010 could answer his questions directly.

It seems that the education of the Star Alliance really starts from an early age.

"Take the person who bribed you." Customer Service 010 said and disappeared.

Cheng Jinzhou giggled twice and went to see Warlock Cao Fengxing without mentioning it.

Kepler's era was an era when optical craftsmen were at the forefront of the world. Improving the distance between the objective lens and the eyepiece and rationalizing the optical path structure of the microscope were the focus of research at that time. The coarse and fine motion adjustment mechanism, lighting system and workbench carrying specimens are things that the astrologers have never considered.

There are naturally many ways to seduce Cao Feng into working for him wholeheartedly.

…

At the same time, Shi Mo handed over the note uneasily, waited for a moment, and seeing that there was no worse outcome, he hurried back to the house to get his little board, and bought gold medicine and other supplies.

In the Liu family, the delivered notes were handed over to the staff as usual. This gentleman, who had been with the old man for decades, was completely dumbfounded when he saw the seven characters "A little busy, we will talk about it another day".

Until the old man went out to bask in the sun, he was still sitting at the door, thinking over and over again.

Mr. Liu couldn't help but said in unison: "Old Nan, who is this incompetent person who bothered you again?"

"Dong Weng, I am your grandson-in-law." The two have had a relationship for many years, and Nan Huo, who is an aide, speaks very casually.

"Cheng Jinzhou? Have you made a date? If Qingshuang hadn't been begging me, there would have been no need for me to come forward. Look at the bunch of things he has caused, and he goes on a rampage with a little bit of ability. Isn't it true that Daxia can't control him? Mr. Liu said and paused with his crutch.

"It seems I can't control it anymore." Nan Huo shook his head and handed the reply to him, and said with a smile: "Take a look."

Mr. Liu, who had bad eyesight, read word for word: "I'm a little busy, let's talk about it another day!"

For a moment, he was really speechless.
