MTL - The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven-v3 Chapter 37 mathematician mendel
【War court and knee pillow, Austria's destiny】【】
Three years ago, Old Mendel, who had successfully bred high-yield wheat, received the 20,000 florin bonus promised by Franz, freeing his family from their long-term poverty.
Old Mendel will repay all the 1,700 Florin debts he borrowed for his wife's medical treatment. He also bought two hundred acres of land in Heinzerdorf Village in his hometown, hired two servants, and saved the rest of the money in the The bank can be regarded as the fulfillment of his simplest dream as a farmer.
And his son Gregor Mendel also benefited from it.
This great biologist who will be famous all over the world in the future gave up his plan to save money to study at Olmitz University. Instead, relying on the spirit of assiduous study and his excellent ability beyond ordinary people, he was finally admitted to the whole university with excellent grades. The best institution of higher learning in the Austrian Empire - University of Vienna.
But unexpectedly, he did not take biology as his main subject, but chose mathematics as his major.
Soon the future elder of the biological world showed surprising talent in mathematics, which made Franz feel very embarrassed after hearing the news.
Although you are familiar with the life experience of this giant of science in history, you can’t go to a math genius and tell the latter solemnly, “Mathematics is not for you, biology is your real destination. Of course, in your spare time Remember not to forget to plant peas..."
Three years later, when Franz met little Mendel again, the black, thin and reserved boy had grown into a little white and fat man. The passing of the years did not in the slightest diminish his gratitude to the Grand Duke.
After all, if there was no generous help from the latter, their family would have been struggling in the quagmire of poverty just like in history, and his father would have accidentally broken his leg during a job, causing the family to lose their source of income. Instead, they can only rely on the help of others to survive.
Although old Mendel earned the 20,000 florins with his ability, he, like his son, is still very grateful to Franz for giving him this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and helped him recover the one that was hacked. Sixteen thousand florins.
In addition, the earth-shaking changes in almost all aspects of Austria over the years made old Mendel have a great impression of this empire and its rulers, the Habsburg family.
"Your Highness, it is my honor to see you again!" Little Mendel said sincerely after taking off his hat and saluting.
"Hi, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Mendel."
Franz's words flattered the other party.
"You know my name! What an honor! …"
Franz has become used to accepting crazy compliments from others almost every day after time travel, but he is still a little embarrassed to accept such a respectful attitude from such a scientist who plays an important role in human history, so he took the opportunity to change the subject.
"You don't have to, I'm here to ask you a few questions."
Mendel withdrew his hand and said respectfully, "It is my honor, Grand Duke Franz."
"Can you tell me honestly what you think of this country?"
"The Austrian Empire is a great country. Although it is somewhat autocratic and conservative, I think it has its reasons." Little Mendel suddenly realized that he might have said something wrong, so he immediately changed his words.

"I'm talking about authority, yes, the authority of the empire is very strong, which is very good, I love it very much! Long live the empire! …"
There is no doubt that he is a very strong desire to survive.
It's just that what Franz didn't expect was that certain concepts had already become so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It seems necessary to take some measures in advance, otherwise it may be too late to wait until 1848 comes.
"I know, don't worry, this is a secret conversation, no one will record it, and no one will hold you accountable."
Franz originally intended to appease the restless genius in front of him, but it was just the opposite. At this moment, little Mendel became even more panicked.
He felt that this was really too abnormal. He was obviously just an unknown college freshman. Even if he met the Crown Prince a few years ago, it was impossible for the other party to remember him.
[To be honest, I have recently followed up, changed sources, and have many voices for reading aloud, .yeguoyuedu Android and Apple are both available. 】
"The only explanation is that the incident was exposed, and as expected, you still have to do your duty." Little Mendel thought so in his heart.
It was naturally impossible for Franz to know the inner activities of the other party just now. At this time, he just wanted to divert this embarrassing topic. After all, the university campus is a place where various thoughts gather, and it is not unusual to hear anything.
"Do you like mathematics?" asked Franz.
"I like it very much, because mathematics is truth." Little Mendel replied without thinking.
"Very good. Please persevere. The empire needs a great mathematician to open the sky and let people know what is truth, not those relative and uncertain theories created by people."
Little Mendel nodded ignorantly. Although he was not sure what Archduke Franz was referring to, he was definitely right to continue on the road of mathematics.
"That's good. If you have any difficulties, you can ask me for help. If you are interested, you can also go to the Royal Society of Science to communicate with those seniors."
The so-called Royal Austrian Academy of Sciences at this time was not so much a scientific organization as it was a club like a weekend salon. In a nutshell, it is a platform for a group of big names in academic circles from various countries to communicate together.
Those who can be invited are all experts in a certain field at this time. Of course, some exceptional participants were specially recommended by Franz, and they are all figures who will leave a mark in the history of human science in the future.
So when he handed over the invitation letter of the Royal Society of Science to Little Mendel, the latter felt extremely heavy.
"yes!"
After listening to Franz, he just nodded politely, then turned and left. After walking a few steps, he turned his head and said again.
"I forgot to mention, occasionally you can also try to raise a few pots of green plants~www.novelbuddy.com~ For example, peas are very good."
This sentence echoed in the ears of little Mendel for a long time, which made him puzzled. Why did the Grand Duke ask him to raise peas?
On the carriage returning to Schönbrunn Palace, Ajani asked a little puzzled.
"That little fat man just now, no, it was the young scholar just now. Is he really qualified to enter the Science Society?"
"You mean Mr. Mendel, I've read it, and his grades are indeed excellent, without any problems." Franz said perfunctorily.

"He is very powerful, but there are not one thousand but eight hundred people like him in Vienna."
Seeing that Adjani seemed a little dissatisfied, Franz just spread his hands indifferently, "There are hundreds of smart people, but there is only one Mendel."
"But he's just a little-known freshman in college, just like Mr. Doppler, who you've been entrusting with, but a less-than-successful middle school teacher.
Don't you know that many of your actions have confused some real authorities in the scientific community? They are just afraid to give you an opinion because of your position. "
Seeing Adjani's anxious and angry look, Franz couldn't help laughing in his heart.
"What should be the standard for judging a scientist? Qualifications? Or age? No, neither. Miss Adjani, you should understand that blindly believing in authoritarianism is not a good phenomenon, even for me."
"You still know the dangers of authoritarianism?"
