For reasons of appearance, Cheng Jinzhou did not even visit his second uncle after arriving in Xia Jing for more than a month. And the person in charge of the Ministry of Personnel seemed to have no intention of inviting his nephew.

In this regard, it is impossible to say that Cheng Jinzhou is not dissatisfied, but it is not possible to say that he is resentful.

His impression of this cheap second uncle was, at best, only a few words from his mother. After all, he didn't expect to get much help in the capital. But this too-timely congratulatory post still made him a little funny - this letter was mixed in a series of standard congratulatory posts, which greatly reduced the sense of family affection among them, and the official clichés in a slightly urgent situation seemed too much. serious.

In view of this, Cheng Jinzhou was not prepared to abuse his own soul. He just put the congratulatory note aside and prepared to reply a letter when he returned.

But Shen Cong saw the seal on it. He knew the heraldry of nobles very well, and asked strangely: "Your family members?"

"The second uncle is the head of the official department." Cheng Jinzhou didn't hide it from him.

"Cousin?"

Cheng Jinzhou shook his head in embarrassment, but this was his biological uncle.

Shen Cong smiled as usual and seemed to be saying to himself: "The head of the Ministry of Personnel can decide the appointment of officials below the 18th level. To influence those above the 12th level, you have to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he can't help much."

"Oh? What do you say?" Cheng's father is a level 10 official and is closely related to Cheng Jinzhou. Of course, he has to ask clearly.

Shen Cong didn't dare to answer suddenly, and just said: "I'll go back and ask a few more questions."

Cheng Jinzhou became a one-star warlock, which naturally affected Shen Cong's judgment, and he took the friendship that had just begun even more seriously.

Shen Cong's father, Shen Zhecong, is an important minister in the court. It would be best if you are willing to help. Cheng Jinzhou immediately thanked him. He didn't realize it when he was in Shaonan. It was only when he came out that he realized that without the protection of the Cheng family, he would probably be a refugee. .

After dinner, they agreed with Zhu Lin on the time and place for delivery, and Cheng Jinzhou and others said goodbye and left. Although he can sell things directly to Jiezi now, that is obviously the worst option. Due to Xiao Cheng's indolent nature, he would never move anything that could save him effort, and he would avoid dangerous things whenever he could. Otherwise, sneaking into some barn at night would be a better choice - but, just like ordinary People find it easy to steal bags and rob them, but they don't do it either. Cheng Jinzhou doesn't think he has enough heads and arms to guarantee safety.

After going out and getting on the carriage, Xiang Xin finally couldn't hold back and said: "Let's go to the association now to have the stone belt certified."

"Bring it with me." Xiao Cheng has been carrying his authentication stone these days.

Shen Cong followed behind, asking the unknown boy to call for a taxi. He stared at Cheng Jinzhou and said, "I really didn't know that Star Warlock looked like this."

Xiang Xin also covered his mouth and laughed.

…

Star Warlock Association, Xia Jing Branch.

On the third floor, a group of star warlocks were noisy.

The star warlocks sitting on the east side had a white board in front of them, and they wrote and scratched: "It is of course possible to get a number by superposing a string of numbers in a limited way, but if you add an infinite number of numbers, you can get a number." It’s just ridiculous to add the numbers together and come up with a finite number.”

Another star warlock with a blue two-star badge frowned and said in a calm tone: "Star Warlock Jiang Huang and this child are really similar, and they both like this unit called infinitesimal quantity. "

Mr. Jiang Huang, the Royal Star Warlock, looks kind and kind, like a kind old grandfather, but after having been in a high position for nearly 10 years, others have never dared to look down on him.

At this moment, when he heard the waves of opposition, Warlock Jiang Huangxing had no expression on his face and just said calmly: "Warlock An Fengxing is a star magician. Those who agree with each other, why should we care about age and birth."

"I just want to ask about the usage of this infinitesimal quantity." An Feng whispered softly: "Why in some places, this infinitesimal quantity is equal to 0, and in other places, infinitesimal quantities can approximate each other."

If Cheng Jinzhou were here, he would immediately know that this is a classic calculus paradox and one of the mathematical crises of the year.

Warlock Jiang Huangxing, who had just started studying calculus, obviously could not answer such a question. He just said what he had repeated countless times and said: "It turns out that in many application fields, we can use the concept of limits..."

Jiang Huang did not actually begin to understand calculus in depth. He only began to apply tools such as limits as his research deepened. Therefore, he became more and more surprised when he heard Cheng Jinzhou's drunken remarks.

"It's not uncommon for wrong uses to lead to correct answers." An Feng Star Warlock continued to argue, allowing the other young Star Warlocks to continue attacking.

Other astromancers could hardly come up with a more threatening argument, but they had other methods. Some people who were familiar with Warlock Jiang Huangxing's research field actively attacked his bold definitions of limits and series, while others began to attack the newly obtained "Geometric Optics".

Because just two days ago in public, Warlock Jiang Huangxing mentioned Cheng Jinzhou and used it as an example to explain his new theory.

The opposing star warlocks have not yet studied Jiang Huang's theory in depth, but they can easily discover the omissions in "Geometric Optics" - especially when Cheng Jinzhou deliberately left holes.

In the academic world of any era, if you cannot attack the enemy head-on, then you can just point out the mistakes made by the enemy. For gentlemen who pursue rigor, one mistake is enough.

The star warlocks on the west side quickly began to defend Cheng Jinzhou. They have to do this. In fact, in the past few days, many astrologers have quoted Cheng Jinzhou's "Geometric Optics" many times in order to systematically refute Jiang Huang, and kept raising it as a model of error.

An attendant came in from outside and whispered a few words in Warlock Jiang Huangxing's ear. The latter immediately raised his head and ordered: "Go and ask him to come in. Everyone, the newly promoted one-star warlock Cheng Jinzhou has come to the association."

Several astrologers who commented on "Geometric Optics" stopped without knowing what to say.

An Feng looked at Jiang Huang thoughtfully. He heard Cheng Jinzhou's name from Liu Kuang, but he didn't know what the relationship between the two was.

…

Association level.

Cheng Jinzhou looked at the authentication stone in his hand in surprise. In fact, it was not just him. Xiang Xin and Warlock Xu Guxing next to him had their mouths opened wider than him.

Shen Congqi asked: "What is the concept of 26 association contribution points?"

"According to Mr. Cheng's preferred exchange method, it is 13,200 taels of silver." Xu Gu finally saw a lot of people in various situations and wiped his lips and said: "It's really amazing that you can get 22 association contribution points in three or four days. .”

"Thirteen thousand taels of silver..." Shen Cong coughed twice and said, "Isn't that 26 million yuan?"

In many formal occasions, people still like to use money as the unit.

Cheng Jinzhou himself was drooling with envy, and couldn't help but said: "Anyway, you still need dozens of contribution points to become a second-level star warlock, so why not..."

"It cannot be exchanged." Xiang Xin quickly interrupted him and said: "It must be that your recent article has been welcomed by everyone, and it may be that your previous article has finally been distributed to other regions. This does not happen often. Many stars When a warlock gets old, he just relies on a few articles to support himself."

In fact, what she said was understood by Cheng Jinzhou. Just like many scientists in later generations, when a person is most likely to achieve results, it usually takes a few years of hard work. After that, it is almost time to rest on his laurels. The so-called forever After all, the number of productive scientists is only a minority. For most researchers and professors, all they can produce in their lifetime are usually a few papers written in their youth.

However, Cheng Jinzhou's situation is completely different. Although he doesn't know why many people are reading his current paper, he knows in his heart that if he wants to attract attention, he has many ways, so he just rubs his chin and does not speak.

Shen Cong also knew the importance of the association's contribution points, but he couldn't help but calculate: "With 1,000 guan in the capital, you can buy a very nice house. If you still have 25,000 guan left, I'm afraid I can buy 250 girls." , it’s enough to build a brothel..."

Xiang Xin glared at him fiercely and said, "If you don't have 10 contribution points, your title may be taken away by the association."

"As for it?"

"certainly."

Shen Cong didn't dare to really argue with a star warlock, so he shrank his head and said nothing.

Cheng Jinzhou thought of what he had said before, pulled Shen Cong aside and whispered, "You said you want to end my father's affairs. Is it possible to go to the Minister of Civil Affairs?"

The Minister of Personnel was equivalent to the cabinet members in later generations, and because the centralization of power in the Great Xia Dynasty was not strong, senior officials often held huge power.

Regarding which positions have which rights, this is a required course for a son of a family like Shen Cong. He looked at Cheng Jinzhou and whispered: "Actually, I have asked my father about this before, and he said that he was not very good. help."

Cheng Jinzhou knew that it was actually difficult for most aristocratic children to have a harmonious relationship with their fathers, and even fewer of them talked about everything. Just like the prefect Cheng Yun'an, he would not let Cheng Jinzhou participate in various affairs before the accident, let alone Shen Cong's status as a concubine. He nodded understandingly and said, "I don't want to seek political advice if I'm not in my position. I just want to ask the Minister of Civil Affairs for help."

Seeing that he really didn't care, Shen Cong felt relaxed and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't take offense. In fact, this matter doesn't need to be so troublesome as asking the Minister of Civil Affairs."

"Can my uncle decide?"

"Of course not." Shen Cong said: "The refugees causing trouble must be investigated first, and the key is probably the Minister of Dali Temple."

"That is also the high position of a fourth-level civil servant..."

"It's one level behind, but I'm missing the Minister of Civil Affairs by an unknown amount. What do you want to do?" Shen Cong didn't think that Cheng Jinzhou would ask casually.

"I want to collect 20,000 taels of silver and sort it out, but I don't know if it will be enough." Cheng Jinzhou was not sure. His family must have sent someone to sort it out.

Shen Cong, who has a good family background, rolled his eyes and thought: "I'm afraid 20,000 taels of silver is not enough, but the Star Warlock's contribution points worth 10,000 taels of silver may be worth it."

Other than the word count: In the first month of the new book, although the book is not updated quickly, it is actually trying its best. The so-called steamed buns offered by the beggar to the Buddha are all the belongings of the whole body. If there is anything forgotten while everyone is chewing, it is dispensable.
