In the old house of the Cheng family, the servants stood on tiptoes, transporting boxes of ice cubes.

From the cellar to the yard of each house, servants lined up in a long line to deliver the ice cubes stored last year to the hot houses.

The housekeepers in each room also stared wide-eyed, counting the quantity and calculating the quality.

The ice cubes that have been stored for more than half a year are worth a lot of money. Not every room can be allocated a full amount, and there are also differences in quality - although the cooling effect of large pieces is not necessarily better than that of small pieces, large pieces can be divided into smaller pieces. Blocks are used, but small pieces cannot be combined into large ones. The smaller the difference, the easier it is to be magnified by nobles who like to compare.

In addition, there is a difference in price between original ice cubes and ice cubes re-condensed with water. Ice cubes with added flavoring pollen are more popular with women and literati. You can judge the status of a family member just by looking at the ice cubes they use in summer.

Not only that, Daxia's law also prohibits civilians from using large ice bricks exceeding 2 meters, and some special fragrances are also among the prohibited sequences.

Shi Mo smiled happily and directed the servants and servants to sort out the ice cubes belonging to the third room.

In previous summers, even though Mr. Cheng Yun'an was the magistrate of the state, the ice cubes he took were not much larger than those in other rooms. But this year, because Mrs. Cheng didn't need much ice for her cool Taoist temple, all the large ice bricks that were supposed to be allocated to her were sent to the third room. Even so, the second housekeeper kept saying: Our family didn't save enough ice bricks last year. If you forgive me, I will forgive you.

Shi Mo smiled reservedly. He had met too many high-level figures with Cheng Jinzhou. Compared with the second housekeeper who stayed in Shaonan all year round, his horizons were much broader. At this moment, he also learned Cheng Jinzhou's habit and gently patted the second housekeeper on the shoulder. He said: "It's okay, but you have to prepare enough quantity. Third brother has been studying very late recently."

"Definitely." The second housekeeper didn't care about Shi Mo's actions. The third housekeeper was about to become the direct descendant of the next generation, so it wouldn't be surprising if he abdicated in favor of someone more worthy. Having been a housekeeper for many years, what he has practiced most is his eyesight.

After counting the ice cubes, Shi Mo led the way, followed by a dozen handymen carrying the ice cubes.

The status of handymen is lower than that of servants. They are usually performed by powerful villagers or tenants, mostly young people in their twenties, who do some strenuous work.

After passing through the second gate, Shi Mo sent someone inside to say hello before leading the servants through. The female family members and maids inside the door have been hiding for a long time, and they will not come out until the ice cubes are carried. Only the maids with higher status were commanded by all parties, and most of them scolded in a soft voice.

In Cheng Jinzhou's house, the one who shouted was Mr. Yisu.

Isu, who had put on a new body, struggled to stand up on his two legs, and then swung his tail desperately to maintain balance. When in the tree, the koala can use its weight-like tail as a seat cushion, but when it stands up, its short and fat tail cannot reach the ground even if its fur is extended.

After practicing for 30 minutes, Yisu could barely stand up, but he was still not satisfied. He got a wicker stick from somewhere as a pointer, held it with his tiny paws, and waved it in front of Cheng Jinzhou's eyes from time to time: "Quickly. Think about it, or be careful."

He wanted to act cruel, like one of those passionate coaches in death training, but the physical limitations of the koala made him stutter terribly every time he was enthusiastic, held his chest high, and shouted loudly. .

Therefore, what Ys used most was still the wicker held in his stubby little hands, not his favorite language.

He was swaying on the table, walking with his little feet, waving the wicker, and occasionally falling down, practicing very happily.

In contrast, Cheng Jinzhou studied very hard - judging from his past study status.

Of course, his results are also very remarkable. It is much more comfortable for him to study in depth again than for a newcomer. What's more, during the time he came to Daxia, he had a lot of contact with modern mathematics, especially their origins and development.

Communicating with a star warlock like Jiang Huang is like talking to a true Lagrange figure. Maybe on the podium, graduate students like Cheng Jinzhou have taught the same content to undergraduates on behalf of their tutors, but it is actually different, and it cannot even be called teaching - a retelling is almost enough.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced scholar, the role of a master is significant. Just look at the gentlemen who passed the imperial examinations and you will know that almost all of them are taught by famous teachers. As far as investment is concerned, instead of spending money on cosmetics, beautiful clothes and When it comes to plastic surgery, it’s more worth spending money on expensive schools.

If you can find a master for this.

In Daxia, the mathematics here is basically an era behind Xingzhou.

Among the Xingzhou people of the previous generation, Warlock Jiang Huangxing was one of the best, and before that, Warlock Gaomu Enxing could be traced back.

The lack of a successor is the main problem currently faced by the Daxia Star World. In fact, it is also a problem that the Star Warlock World outside the Star Continent often faces.

For Xingzhou’s large number of excerpt journals, it is natural to choose a thriving market and pay focused attention. Most of the time, Daxia was noticed from the corner of his eye.

Therefore, being able to publish articles in Xingzhou is very difficult for the Star Warlocks in Daxia. Whether it is "Journal of Xia Jing", comprehensive journals such as "Journal of Teachers", or professional journals such as "Navigation Science", fewer and fewer of them are selected by Xingzhou's excerpt journals.

Star Warlocks are worried that if things go on like this, the emergence of high-level Star Warlocks will become slower and slower, and it will become more and more difficult to obtain contribution points. As for original contribution points, many Star Warlocks have already regarded them as flying immortals from the sky and have given up their imagination. In fact, their worries are coming true. The citation rate of Daxia's own journals is also declining, which in turn reduces the influence of domestic journals, forming a vicious circle.

"Science" intentionally or unintentionally opened a channel, or in other words, calculus opened a channel.

Although "Analytical Theory" no longer guarantees that it will publish articles from "Science", they will continue to care about it for several months. During this time, Cheng Jinzhou can complete the article and submit it. Others, such as "Nature", "Journal of the World", "Mathematician", "Extensive Function", etc., will continue to patrol in Daxia's journals until Xingzhou's research in calculus can catch up. Summer.

Normally, Daxia's lead can be maintained for two or three years, but with Cheng Jinzhou's participation, the distance between the two sides is gradually widening.

In the process of learning, papers are not only the best form of expression, but also the best learning method.

Writing a complete article can help the author clarify his ideas and make it easier to integrate his thinking.

In addition to writing his newly learned things into papers and storing them in categories, Cheng Jinzhou also did not forget to correspond with his original team members.

Shi Mo specially sent 7 people to shuttle back and forth between De'an and Shaonan, and use fast horses to deliver mail from the two places at any time. The roads Cheng Jinzhou worked hard to build between Nanling, De'an and Shaonan also played a great role. A journey of several hundred miles can be reached in half a day by horseback, almost reaching the standards near Gyeongsang Province.

Cheng Jinzhou's fast writing not only helped the team members, but also stimulated De'an's star warlocks.

Due to the small number of Star Warlocks and their noble status, the result of cherishing feathers is that they can share their achievements more openly with each other. Astrologers such as Cao Feng, although they will not directly tell others about their research content, are willing to make small-scale reports at a certain stage - in fact, modern mathematicians also have similar habits Gauss is one of the typical figures. Many of his studies were not made public until people examined his relics and found many amazing conclusions in the popular letters.

The outer star warlocks cannot see the research process of Cheng Jinzhou's team, but they can see that many puzzles of calculus appear, solve, and disappear during their research process...

The world's puzzles are endless, but what people have access to is limited. If one person solves the puzzle, the person who also studies it will waste all their research time.

From the beginning, the study of mathematics has had a competitive connotation.

Even Warlock Jiang Huangxing was inevitably involved in the study of calculus. He was even worried that if he stayed with Taiyu for another month, he might lose all his advantages.

However, his joining not only failed to catch up with Cheng Jinzhou's footsteps, but also concealed Cheng Jinzhou's rapid progress, making him copy more and more vividly-perhaps under the current circumstances, it is better to use the term review.

By the time Taiyu raised enough silver and rushed back to Shaonan, Cheng Jinzhou had saved eight articles and published three of them publicly.

Of the three articles, two were in his own name, and one had Lu Guandao as the second author - the latter did participate in the experiment, although not to a profound extent. But no one would discuss this with Cheng Jinzhou. If an ordinary three-star warlock cheated, the Star Warlock Association might intervene in the investigation. But in the case of Cheng Jinzhou, who could be sent to investigate? Liu Kuang simply pretended not to have seen it.

Cheng Jinzhou, who submitted the results report, looked very calm and did not change at all when meeting Taiyu. He even said without looking at the tens of millions of taels of air tickets he handed over: "You are really relieved to be in Daxia." There are 10 million taels of silver in the vassal treasury?"

Taiyu had not yet fully woken up from Cheng Jinzhou's new achievements. He was stunned for a moment before reacting, and said with a smile: "How dare ordinary people's political power take advantage of the star warlock's money?"

"Anything can happen. If it were me, I would rather have 10 million taels of silver."

"It would take thousands of people to transport it." Taiyu was frightened.

Cheng Jinzhou shook his hand and said without pursuing further: "I'll find a way. I'll try my best to get first-class cotton fruit."

He didn't fully agree.

Taiyu naturally thanked him profusely. At the same time, he paid attention to the work of Jiang Huang and others and said: "Then, I will also join your team and do research together while waiting."
