Fox of France

v1 Chapter 412: , Fooled

So a big conspiracy against Joseph, organized by Joseph's brothers, began. This also verified one point, that is, any poisonous vegetable is unpopular. The great Eastern philosopher Mensius once said: "Those who want to go their own way will lose the support of most people. Even his relatives will betray him." This sentence is really the most reasonable saying.

Lucien shook his head after reviewing the plans of the gang of the Academy of Sciences, mainly the gang of the Paris Normal University. He said that in addition to the good ideas at the beginning, the later plans are simply full of loopholes.

"Oh, so, this kind of thing should be done by professional people. Well, for example, by inviting the British Academy of Sciences to visit and then arranging a return visit. This design is completely nonsense. A great Eastern strategist said However, victory can only be guaranteed by understanding the enemy and yourself. You don’t know anything about my eldest brother.

In politics, Britain is still our enemy. Although we don’t say that, they don’t say that either-we all call each other "friends" with a smile, but we both want to strangle each other secretly. For an important person like Joseph, it is impossible for our country to allow him to go to areas controlled by enemy countries. He himself is a very...very cautious person, and he will certainly not go.

Therefore, any invitation must come from the closest, most reliable, and true friend with us. In addition, you don't need to discuss this matter anymore, and you don't need to do anything. The more you do, the easier it will be for Joseph to notice. So, in the future, you will treat it as nothing. Understand? It is not allowed to discuss this matter anymore. Um, if there is no leak, regardless of the final result, the first ruling will agree to increase the funding for Paris Normal University by 15% next year..."

So the guys from the Paris Normal School happily withdrew from the conspiracy. Don’t say that you can make money by doing this. Even if you don’t have money, the less involved the better, isn’t it? After all, Dean Joseph must be back. If you let him know that this conspiracy still has his share, he can't deal with Lavoisier and can't bully you?

The next thing is to convince Lavoisier. After expressing his intention to Lavoisier, Lavoisier immediately said:

"Lucien, don't you know the relationship between me and your elder brother? I think at the beginning, your elder brother saved my life when I was the most dangerous; when I was the poorest, he took me to make a fortune. And your elder brother still My niece, you actually want me to cheat him with you? How can it work? You have to add money!"

Then the two men joined together to bargain, and finally Lucien used the shares of a Moroccan phosphate mine still in the hands of the Barbary pirates to obtain the support of Lavoisier.

Then came the formal performance. According to Lucien’s arrangement, the invitations to the French Academy of Sciences were several universities in Italy. Including the University of Bologna, the University of Padua, the University of Naples Federico II, the University of Siena and other prestigious universities.

Among them, the University of Bologna is the earliest university in the world that has a complete university system and has been developed to this day. It was established in 1088, and it has cultivated many famous people and has quite high academic honors. Dante, Petrarch, Dürer, Erasmus, Goldoni, Copernicus, etc. have all studied or taught here, and they are called the "mother of the university". Today this university is also the seat of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Northern Italy. Therefore, its invitation actually represents the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Northern Italy and even the government of the Republic of Northern Italy.

And now the whole of Italy is almost under French control, and safety here is also guaranteed.

When these Italian universities jointly sent invitations, out of political considerations, Joseph, the dean of the French Academy of Sciences, immediately made a decision: "We must send a delegation with sufficient weight and sincerity."

So he immediately appointed several of his students and assistants, such as Gauss, such as Ohm, and went to visit Mr. Lavoisier himself, hoping that Lavoisier could lead the team as the leader.

"Joseph, why don't you go by yourself?" Lavoisier asked.

"Ah, Fanny is pregnant again, I can't leave at this time." Joseph said.

"How many months has Fanny pregnant?"

"Two months."

"Well, then you need to help take care of her." Lavoisier said.

"You take care of her, what can you take care of her?" Madame Lavoisier suddenly said, "Which one of you men will take care of others?"

Joseph really couldn't refute this, because he really didn't know how to take care of others.

"Oh, Fanny is pregnant, so who is carrying Alice now?" Lavoisier asked.

"Fanny took her." Joseph answered honestly. Fanny's mother has passed away, and his father, Lavoisier's younger brother, has been in poor health, so he can't help.

"Look, I'll just say. You men, don't say anything about taking care of women. Maybe, it's mainly Fanny taking care of you now. Oh, is Alice still as naughty as before?"

"Ah, Alice is much better than before, and more quiet, like her mother." Joseph replied.

"God bless, she looks a bit like her aunt, that's okay, but don't have a personality like her." Mrs. Lavoisier has always spoken directly.

"Oh, Fanny is pregnant, and I have to take care of Alice. Well, otherwise, when I go to Italy to play, I will take Alice Ribbon over to play and let Fanny relax." Lavoisier said.

Joseph knew that Lavoisier liked his daughter very much. In the past, Fanny would sometimes take Alice to Lavoisier’s vineyard for several days. But Alice hadn't been too far before, so he hesitated a bit.

"Why ~lightnovelpub.net~ I'll go back and discuss with Fanny?" Joseph said at last.

Back home, Joseph told his wife Mr. Lavoisier's suggestion.

"It would be reassuring to go with Mr. Lavoisier. Well, Fanny, what do you think?" Joseph asked.

"Ask our Alice, right?" Fanny said.

So the two called Alice, who was chasing butterflies in the garden, told her about it, and then asked her: "Alice, do you want to go?"

"Italy? Well, is there the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa where Galileo lost the iron ball, the story of Romeo and Juliet, and Venice where there are rivers and boats everywhere? I thought about it a long time ago. I went to play. Aunt said, it's fun there!" Alice slapped her hands.

Thus, Lavoisier's plan to take Alice to Italy to travel was finalized. In order for his daughter to take this opportunity to increase her knowledge, Joseph even took the time to explain to her daughter all kinds of fun and special things in Italy. It made Fanny a little jealous.
