Quick Transmigration: Losing All Standing and Reputation - Chapter 82

[Chapter 82 Glory Recovery (14)]

It took Thomas a long time to react, and he asked, “So what are you doing today?” When it

came out just now, Rhine felt that the divination business that he had not developed was basically cold, or don’t harm these naive students For good reason, after thinking for a while, he said, “I want to invite a student to visit Blandings Castle and share afternoon tea.”

The eyes of the students surrounding him lit up, waiting for Rhine to name this candidate.

When Rhine looked at it, he had a headache. He would never directly invite promising students. Otherwise, when the Holy See arrests a person, wouldn’t it be possible to grab all his pens, and if there is no one left, he will still have to fight, and he will not be able to eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Rhine said: “Well, each person writes a small note with their name on it, and puts it in the empty box. I draw one with my eyes closed, and whoever draws it is whoever gets it. In the future, I will use this method every Saturday to invite When a student is a guest at the castle, everyone has a chance.”

Those students who felt that they were outstanding and had a good chance of being selected were a little disappointed, and they had no special advantage in this method of invitation. In contrast, the academically mediocre students were noticeably excited. Although it was not selected based on strength, it was an extremely honorable thing to be able to visit the Earl’s castle as a guest.

Thomas was also one of the disappointments, and he hoped that he would have the opportunity to discuss partial differential equations with the Count alone. After several discussions, although he did not find that Rhine was intentionally leading them to an answer, he was keenly aware that the Count was very talented in this regard. Creativity and plenty of room for development. He wanted to be the first to share his results with the count.

Thomas wrote a note and threw it into the earl’s box with everyone. When the earl stretched out his hand to take it out, he couldn’t help but craned his neck and wondered with some jealousy who the lucky one was.

He thought that it would be the square-faced George next to him, and he also thought that it might be James with a long neck, but the only thing he didn’t think would be himself would have this luck.

It wasn’t until someone else pushed him jealously and reminded, “Hey, Thomas, if you don’t want to go, let me go.”

Thomas reacted from the shock of hearing his name and looked up at Rhine’s smiling eyes. .

Rhine was a little overjoyed at the fact that he was able to draw such a good lottery. Wouldn’t it be a pity not to go with the flow? From the very beginning, Thomas has kept looking at him with a small look that he wants to talk about. This young man is a mathematician he has always been optimistic about. Rhein is inclined to have some research results on the other side. Just take this opportunity to invite afternoon tea. chat.

In the envious eyes of everyone, Thomas boarded the earl’s carriage and sat with the earl.

Thomas is the son of a farmer. In addition to his excellent grades, he has a chance to go to university. Originally, according to his family’s thoughts, it was the best way for him to go to the church and become a priest after graduation. He never thought that he would be able to sit with an earl now.

Thomas was a little nervous, fiddling with his hands on his knees.

Rhine took the initiative to ask, “How have you solved a few differential equation problems recently?”

The group of them only discussed ideas together, and there was no concrete answer. Arranged ideas.

Speaking of this, Thomas’ eyes lit up and he forgot to be embarrassed, and said, “Sir, I was just about to tell you this, I have written all these questions, although I don’t know if there are any logical loopholes, but from now on It looks relatively complete.”

As he said that, he went to his bag to look through his manuscripts, and took out a large stack of manuscripts. This stack of manuscripts was in a mess, and Thomas was a little embarrassed when he saw it. He pushed on his glasses and was about to sort them out.

Rhine didn’t want him to organize documents in the bumpy carriage, the poor student’s glasses were thick enough, and he said, “Don’t worry, wait until you get to the castle, and then you can organize it slowly, now tell me about your home situation. ”

When Thomas heard this, the smile on his face froze and gradually disappeared. He raised his eyes to look at Rhine, and couldn’t help wondering in his heart whether the Count would despise him because of his background.

Rhine just wanted to find a topic so that the young man would not be so nervous, and after listening to his family situation, he only nodded gently, and soon realized that talking about family in this era is not relaxing, and instead asked: “Your personal Where is your ambition? I know there are a lot of people in the school who want to go to church, do you too?”

Thomas was a little embarrassed and didn’t know what to say. It had been an option in the past, but the more he read, the more he felt that being a priest wasn’t something he really wanted to do. Combined with the fact that Gertrude was burned to death, he actually had a personal sense of distance from the church. The environment of his childhood told him that for a person of his status, if he wants to live a good life, he must work hard to enter the church. It’s hard for him to hate the church because of one or two things, but that strong feeling of wanting to join the church has long since disappeared.

Thomas said: “My lord, I actually don’t know. I used to want to join the church, but now I have changed my mind, and I don’t know where to go for a while. It would be nice to have a position specializing in mathematics.”

He He sighed, obviously feeling that his wish was too ridiculous.

Rhine smiled and said, “Do you really like math that much? Even if you have a long-term job, you won’t get tired of it?”

Thomas smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, “Although it’s very distressing when I don’t have a lot of ideas sometimes, I’m a lot of trouble. I lost my hair, but most of the time, it did make me feel happy and fulfilled, as if I was doing something meaningful. I know a lot of people get headaches when they see math, but I think math is a very faithful subject It pays you back how much you pay. It is very attractive to deduce an unknown result from the known conditions. The fact that I like mathematics often makes me look weird in the eyes of others, but I think this It’s just a matter of personal preference, some people like potatoes, some people hate it, it’s a common occurrence.”

Rhine admired the young man’s attitude of not being afraid of baldness. In modern times, there are not many such talents, and he is very willing to provide him with a job.

During the conversation, Blandings Castle arrived. During the conversation, Thomas’s nervousness finally dissipated for the most part. As a result, when he saw this magnificent castle from the carriage, he immediately became nervous again.

Rhein patted him on the shoulder and asked, “Do you think this castle is beautiful?”

Thomas stammered and replied, “My lord, I didn’t take Aesthetics and Introduction to Architecture, and maybe my answer was not rigorous or not. Correct, but I think your castle is beautiful.”

Rhine subdued the young man.

“I also think it’s pretty, but it’s too cold. You said that if we figured out the principle of heat conduction and then applied mathematics, can we build a warmer house?”

Thomas fell into thinking when he heard the question, and immediately stopped nervous.

Rhine looked at the young man and rubbed his temples.

John informed the housekeeper early in the morning, and the housekeeper was also used to the master’s character, so he didn’t panic when he suddenly changed his schedule and came back to entertain guests, and immediately asked the cook to prepare simple refreshments.

John added another sentence next to it: “Master said, don’t do it too well, we are poor, we don’t do this kind of work…”

Joseph’s eyes twitched imperceptibly. Every time at this time, he was very helpless to Rhine , but after a long tangle, let someone tell the cook that they don’t need to prepare too finely.

Joseph sighed three times.

Over there, Rhine took the thinking Thomas to the place where he used to have afternoon tea, and Thomas sat down with Rhine.

Rhine did not interrupt his thinking, but waited for the simple afternoon tea to come out before speaking: “There is nothing good in the house, but the chef’s craftsmanship is really good, you can try it.”

Thomas recovered and was stunned when he saw the tea. stunned. Without him, this refreshment looks very simple, not to mention the earl, even the children of the slightly wealthier merchants will make this type of refreshment. Thomas didn’t dislike this refreshment, he just couldn’t understand why the Earl would eat such a thing.

Rhine saw his doubts and explained generously: “You seem a little surprised by the crudeness of the refreshment.”

Thomas waved his hand awkwardly, wanting to deny it.

Rhine said with a smile: “I don’t mean to blame you. The refreshments are indeed a bit rudimentary, mainly because the funds are limited. I don’t want to spend it on this kind of place.”

Thomas was a little curious, why would an earl fall into such a poor situation? ?

Rhein looked at him and said: “I have a funding plan. Provide funding for those students who want to do research in specialized disciplines, so that they don’t have to worry about their livelihoods and can do research in a down-to-earth way. If the research needs additional funding, it will also be funded by I’ll take it together.”

Thomas was stunned, he put down the cup of hot tea in his hand and looked at Rhine.

Rhine’s eyes were black, but at the moment, under the influence of the sunlight outside the window, they turned into a warm light brown.

Thomas asked incredulously: “My lord, may I ask why you do this?”

In Thomas’ view, this is a thankless thing for Rhine, and for nobles like them, The significance of this event may not be comparable to making a unique refreshment to show off the family’s accumulation.

Rhine said: “Because it’s worth it. You may not know how valuable this knowledge is. If I say, because of this knowledge, one day we can have safer and faster transportation than horse-drawn carriages, and we can explore the secrets of the depths of the sea, We can also go above the sky. Do you believe it?”

Thomas didn’t know what this had to do with mathematics, and he opened his mouth and stood there for a while.

Rhine said to himself: “Not only. We can also grow crops with better variables, and use machines instead of manual labor to do some complicated and tiring work. At that time, everyone can eat enough and wear warm clothes. Although it may be possible at this time It won’t come so soon, but it will come one day.”

Thomas will always remember this day. There seemed to be light in the eyes of Count Palatinate, as if he had really seen this beautiful picture. This certainty was passed on to him and became his lifelong belief. He never realized that he was doing such a meaningful thing.

Rhine looked at Thomas in deep thought, thinking that his Amway should be sold well, and scientific researchers are valuable assets these days.

“If you have systematic theoretical results and want to publish your own book, I can also help you, but you have to protect yourself.”

Before Thomas could get excited about publishing a book of his own, he listened to To the last piece of advice: “You mean…”

Rhine nodded and said: “We don’t know how the church views these things, and it’s better to be careful. I will contact others who are as talented as you and need help. students, but to be on the safe side, don’t contact each other.”
