Gold escape plan

All the priests looked at each other.However, no one stood up and said that he wanted to take over this job.

In the ancient Maya, the achievements in astronomy were mainly based on the results of accumulated observations, which had always been difficult in science and technology. Even in modern times, they were all top-notch achievements.

Moreover, most people here are the same as modern people, shrinking back when encountering things. Astronomy is so difficult, and everyone has things in their own hands, so no one is willing to pay more attention to it.

Huo Qin seemed to have expected such a situation long ago, straightened his clothes and continued: "Those who are capable will work harder, and those who are capable will get more. If anyone is qualified for this job, then the high priest and I will not mind doing it again." Give him a project raise."

When the priests below heard this, they began to whisper.

Money is a good thing with great allure.

However, after the whispers passed, no one stood up to take over.

Ma Xiaorui raised his eyebrows, and leaned his face to look at a group of frowning priests who shook their heads.

Hmm...understandable...understandable...

If you don't know all about it...

After all, learning things is painful, and researching things is even more painful. Ma Xiaorui has a deep understanding of this.If a person is allowed to study a certain field thoroughly, it will take a few years at least.Even if it is not thorough, to the extent that it can be used flexibly, it takes a lot of effort underneath.

The priests sitting here are all people who are not short of money.Although money is a huge temptation, if you want to spend more time, you would rather not.

This is probably the result of their discussion...

If you have that time, why not eat, chat, climb mountains and swim, let your body and mind relax, and relax yourself...

In fact, having said that, looking at Huo Qin's awkward expression on the other side of the table, he doesn't mind helping his boyfriend...

Although he has no research on astronomy.

So far, the only thing he remembers about astronomy seems to be the "binary star system" he learned when he learned "circular motion" in physics in high school?It seems that there is such a thing coming, right?

However, he only remembered the name, and he didn't remember all the internal things such as formulas, rules, ideas for ending questions, and skills.

It's been five or six years, who the hell is still remembering these things in their minds?

The memory of the brain needs to be emptied in time to load new things, right...

But he remembers the gossip about those astronomers clearly.

For example, there is a god-man named Kepler who proposed the three laws of planetary motion. His teacher Tycho was unlucky. Because he did not accept any idea of ​​earth motion, he observed the beautiful starry sky on the top of the mountain for many years, but he always No pattern was found.In the end, unshaven and poor...

Ma Xiaorui still remembers how his teacher described Tycho's misery and misery back then, and the listeners were sad and the hearers shed tears...

However, the old man Tycho worked hard for many years and finally left some information. Kepler used the many observation data he left behind to figure out the laws of planetary motion...

It's just that these gossips...are they useful?is that useful?God, it's useless!

He still can't think of any formula!

He raised his eyebrows, wanting to see how the other priests would respond.

"Uh... this," a senior priest said: "My lords, it's not that we don't want to take it, but that we are, we can't do it..."

"Yeah, I also want to double my salary, but I study mathematics and have never been involved in astronomy. I can't do it well..."

"That's right, that's right... Priest Yu was the only person in charge of astronomy before. His illness, alas... This is true, no one can take over his job..."

"Yeah, I went to see him two days ago. He is indeed old and not in good health. I just hope that he will get better soon..."

"Hi," said an agricultural priest hesitantly: "Actually, if you want me to tell you, hasn't Brother Yu just observed how the stars move over the years? In fact, this thing is very simple if you say it, but it's not easy if you say it." , it's actually quite difficult..."

The priest touched his head and said: "The simple thing is to look at the trajectories of the stars—isn't it just drawing them on paper—the difficult thing is to see their laws... Hey, let me tell you, this is the real thing." Difficult, Big Brother Yu has been researching for almost a lifetime and has not researched it..."

The rest of the priests nodded in agreement.

Ma Xiaorui peeked at Cook who was sitting in a corner.

This person seems to have not recovered from being slapped in the face a few days ago. Just like in the work report meeting that day, he didn't say a word, just bowed his head on the side, and didn't know if he was listening.The other priests were also unwilling to talk to him, as if there was no such person as him.

But... not all the time.

For example, there are always priests who can't understand Cook's usual "what can you do to me if I have money", and they will seize the opportunity to find fault at this time.

"Hey, Mr. Cook, you are also a high priest anyway, please give me some advice, don't always sit there stupidly."

Cook was obviously taken aback, raised his head, looked around, and saw that everyone was looking at him, even Huo Qin and the high priest were no exception.

"That's right, we've all spoken, so you can talk about it too. What do you think?"

Cook is actually in charge of the military.There used to be a merchant in his family's ancestors who sold swords.However, Tikal later issued a decree to prohibit the circulation of fighting swords in the market for safety reasons, so their sword sales business could not continue, but it allowed him to obtain military duties.

But although he is "in charge of the military", Cook might as well be said to be "in charge of the economy".

It's just that Tikal's business prosperity in recent years has become less and less dependent on the Cook family, and even now it is almost zero.Therefore, Cook's high priest is actually just an empty hat.

There is a saying that if you are in this place, if you can't contribute to it, then what's the use of staying in this position?

Cook is obviously on such a brink, and Ma Xiaorui is very willing to see him fall.

However, a suitable opportunity is needed.A conspicuous, eye-catching opportunity.

"I think..." Cook looked around at the crowd, seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he rolled his eyes and said, "Since no one wants to temporarily take over the position of Priest Yu, and Tianwen has to continue to study, why don't we recommend it?" Let's choose."

Cook paused again, and quickly scanned everyone around: "I recommend him!"

Ma Xiaorui's heart trembled.

Because Cook's finger was pointing at him.

huh?

Relying on being a high priest to suppress people?But isn't that too fucking blatant?Cook, you are very courageous. After all, Huo Qin and the high priest are still sitting here.

Everyone was stunned.Huo Qin narrowed his eyes suddenly.

Everyone knows that Huo Qin's official business is private, and the division of land is very open.During the meeting, he was a wise man above everyone here, while Ma Xiaorui was just a low-level priest.

Although the two of them might hug each other and hug each other when they left the door of this conference room, but here, the relationship between them is not a couple, but a superior and a subordinate.

It seemed that it wasn't enough for him to clean up the ground before.It's time to let King Aheka know that Kuk Yagur and the two "have a deal with the Karamok people"...

But now...Xiao Rui is in charge of agriculture and art, and she is already very tired, so she must not add astronomy!

He opened his mouth to refute, but was preempted by the high priest next to him.

"Why?" asked the High Priest.

"Everyone present knows that Ma Xiaorui has extraordinary abilities within three months of his inauguration. The wise man also said just now that those who are able work harder." Cook looked at Ma Xiaorui and said, without looking carefully in his eyes. You can tell the deep malice.

"I don't agree." Huo Qin said.

Everyone was shocked.

The wise man still spoke!He made an exception!At this time, what the wise man should do most is to avoid suspicion, not to say a word!

Everyone was very excited, but what Huo Qin said afterwards made them even more excited——

"Xiao Rui has a lot of things at hand, and he is very tired now. So I don't agree with him adding one more."

Ah, this enviable love!

Only Cook felt the opposite.He expected that Huo Qin would not say a word!However, he doesn't know that the relationship between Huo Qin and Ma Xiaorui can surpass everything, so what does a mere rule that was set before matter?

"Are you afraid that he will not be able to do well if he has too many things to do, or—"

"I feel sorry for him!"

Everyone's adrenaline surged to 180.

"Hey, baby," Ma Xiaorui said, holding his forehead helplessly, "I'm going to be hard when I hear you say that, but why didn't you ask my opinion?"

Everyone blushed with embarrassment at Ma Xiaorui's previous sentence, and was stunned by his next sentence.

"Master Cook," Ma Xiaorui stared into Cook's eyes and smiled slightly: "Actually, I really didn't want to take over Tianwen, but since you trust me so much, I have no choice but to accept it reluctantly..."

He straightened his clothes, stood up, and humbly bowed to Huo Qin and the high priest: "My lords, please give me this opportunity to temporarily take over the position of Lord Yu."

After that, he turned to the other priests, neither humble nor overbearing: "My lords also please trust me. If there is no result within a month, I will voluntarily resign as a priest."

"However, my energy is also limited," he said with a smile: "So, the arts and agriculture in this month may have to be worked hard, my lords..."

Everyone waved their hands and said "no problem".

After the meeting was over, Huo Qin walked over immediately.

"Why?" he asked.His eyes were full of concern that he was afraid of being too tired, and even puzzled accounted for a small part of it.

"I lack an opportunity to become a high priest," Ma Xiaorui looked at him and took his arm: "And, I'm going to swell Cook's face again!"
