Joseph knew that Kulun was actually quite skeptical about his so-called independent research on "painting geometry". Perhaps Meng Ri, the real pioneer of "painting geometry", was Meng Ji, because he was a prodigy, so he was less suspicious about other prodigy creating similar techniques at the age of similar to his back then.

Joseph did learn how to draw geometry in his previous life. He believed that after hundreds of years of development, the painting geometry in later generations must have developed more than the painting geometry at this time. However, he did not know how far Mengri's original painting geometry developed. Joseph thought about it and felt that some techniques of projection transformation were mostly developed in later generations, so he recalled it carefully in his mind, then added some of this content and explained it in detail.

The Duke of Orleans listened with interest, and did he ask Monge until Joseph finished part of it and stopped for a while, "Mr. Monge, how is Joseph's method compared to yours?"

"It's roughly the same," said Mengri. After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone and suddenly realized that his words might suggest that Joseph did not mean that he had drawn the geometry of the drawing method, so he quickly added: "But there are still some different places. For example, the projection transformation he used in how to deal with the map is very interesting, which I had never thought of before. The map drawn in this way would be better. Although the method created by Mr. Bonaparte is the same as mine in principle, it is even better in practicality than mine. Mr. Bonaparte, you are really a genius in mathematics!"

Mengri's geometry has always been confidential, so even the people next to him had not been exposed to much before. At this time, everyone heard Mengri say this, so naturally they dispelled their doubts.

"Joseph, I really didn't expect that you were a math genius. Well, last time I seemed to hear you were still in middle school? At..." Duke Charles suddenly couldn't remember which middle school he was in.

"It's the School of Louis the Great, His Highness the Duke. Joseph and my nephew Armand are classmates." Lavoisier added with a smile.

"Yes, yes. The last time I saw him with Armand." Duke Charles looked at Joseph with admiration and said, "It is really France's happiness to be able to keep such young people coming out. However, it is too unfair to have such achievements but not get the honor he deserves, and even live in poverty. I think we should give Joseph some compensation for this."

Condosse nodded and said, "I think this paper by Joseph is at least very discussion-oriented and should win this victory and win a prize of 600 francs."

Because the Duke of Orleans mentioned compensation, even Cullen and Monge did not object.

"This is too little." Duke Charlie was not very satisfied.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry that such people will not be buried." Condorce said. "When this paper is published and the light speed experiment is completed, I think Joseph can get a teaching position at the University of Paris, or even a position here. Well, Joseph, I heard you are about to graduate. How about it, are you interested? I can give you a letter of recommendation."

Before Joseph could speak, Monge rushed forward and said, "Joseph is very talented in drawing geometry, but this is a secret skill. If he goes to the University of Paris, he will not be able to study these easily. That would be a pity. The Paris Officer School is looking for a teacher who can teach geometry, and they entrusted me to recommend an expert to them. Why not, together with Mr. Laplace, I recommend him to teach mathematics at the Paris Officer School. I think it is better. And I can also get more allowances for him, and in terms of income, it is definitely more than at the University of Paris. Joseph, what do you think?"

In terms of fame alone, the University of Paris is of course more famous. But in terms of income, it is indeed as Monge said, that teaching at the Paris Officer's School will be higher. In addition, Joseph knew that the revolution was about to break out. During the revolution, all kinds of forces were finished singing and going on stage. Today there was a royalist party hanging on the street lamp pole, and tomorrow the guillotine was today's revolutionary faction. The University of Paris is where various political schools gather. If you get here, you may be uncontrollably involved in the political struggle for some reason. In contrast, the Paris Officer's School is much safer. And after entering the military system, you can also make some necessary preparations for the future.

Thinking of this, Joseph said to Monge: "Mr. Condorcet, thank you very much for your recommendation. But I think I am more inclined to Monge's advice. My father just passed away and there are a few younger brothers in the family to study. I need money very much now. And my younger brother Napoleon happened to be in the Paris Officer's School. He is a troublemaker. I think I can look at him better when I get there."

After hearing this, everyone laughed. Duke Charlie laughed and said, "It seems that all brothers always think that brothers are all troublemakers. Well, I can imagine what it feels like when a brother enters the classroom and finds that the teacher above is actually his brother..."

"Let's go back to the light speed experiment." Lavoisier said.

"Okay, let's continue..."

...

Two days later after this visit, Joseph received a letter from the French Academy of Sciences from the messenger, informing him that his paper had won a prize of 600 francs.

These bonuses made Joseph's life much more abundant. Two days later, he received another letter from Monge. In this thick letter, Monge told Joseph that the Academy of Sciences had completed the preparation of the speed of light experiment and prepared to conduct the experiment in a castle of the Duke of Orleans ten days later that night.

At the end of the letter, Monge told Joseph that he and Laplace recommended him together. I believe that in a few days, he will receive a letter from the Paris Officer's School. As soon as he graduates, he will be able to report to the Paris Officer's School.

Joseph was very proud when he got the letter. It was a pity that Napoleon was not around and could not show off to him. However, it would be even better if he could suddenly appear in Napoleon's classroom in class. Well, he could also click Napoleon on the blackboard to do difficult problems. This is really, it makes people happy to think about it.

In addition, with living money in his hand, Joseph immediately remembered the classic line from Master Lu in "Water Margin": "Neo faded out of his mouth!" Joseph calculated that if he went to the restaurant and spent two francs, he could have a big meal with a good meal, and he was full of oil. But considering that Napoleon was not there, and he left his brother and went to eat alone. Joseph could not do such a thing. So he had to continue to endure it, and fortunately there were not a few days next weekend. By the weekend, he could take Napoleon out for a big meal.

It was just a coincidence that there were several restaurants along the way to school. Those restaurants were not of high quality and were not particularly expensive at least. In today's pocket, Joseph, who has hundreds of francs in his pocket, seemed like this. In the past, when Joseph passed by here when he was in school, he often smelled the aroma of broth that floated out of these restaurants. But at that time, Joseph didn't even have a coin in his pocket, so the temptation of the broth did not seem to be particularly great. At most, Joseph swallowed a mouthful of saliva and held his breath.

, and speeded up. But this time, the situation was a little different. With money in your pocket and the possibility of actually having a meal, the aroma of the broth became more and more irresistible. Joseph tried to speed up, but the broth seemed to have become elastic ropes, tied him up, and tried to pull him back. Joseph took a lot of effort to break free, but when he arrived at school, he was late for the first time in his life. Fortunately, the teacher was too myopia and did not notice him, so he gave him a chance to sneak into the classroom.

In this way, it was finally easy to get through the weekend. Generally speaking, Napoleon would hike to Joseph after school, which would save money. Considering the walking distance, when he arrived, he should be around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and he could go to the restaurant for a meal. Joseph told Father Jeanjac early that when Napoleon came tonight, they would go out for a meal together, so today, including Father Jeanjac, there was no need to eat black bread.

However, it was not until almost seven o'clock that Napoleon slowly came to Joseph, and at this time, all the restaurants on the street had closed. This was not an era of rich nightlife. Father Jacques was too hungry to wait, so he got half of the leftover dry bread and ate it with water.

"Why did it come so late?" Joseph asked in respite his unhappiness.

"A guy invited me to a meal," said Napoleon.

"Damn it, you actually had a meal?" Joseph, who was hungry, could hardly suppress his anger. "Wait... someone actually invited you to dinner? I heard that you have a very poor popularity in school?"

"I helped him complete his math homework." Napoleon said proudly.

"But I'm still hungry..." Because of hunger, Joseph couldn't even be interested in showing off his bonus to Napoleon.

"Are you waiting for me to finish your meal?" Napoleon was surprised. "Isn't it just two black bread? Is it a good idea to wait?"

"Okay, you'll eat black bread tomorrow!" Joseph said gritting his teeth.
