"It is precisely because of this reason that I also want to communicate and learn with French scholars."

Lavoisier was stunned for a moment. After all, he was not an old political fox like the Duke of Richelieu, so he did not realize what Lawrence meant.

Lawrence was not impatient and continued to hint:

"If there is a gathering place for the most knowledgeable scholars in France, then it is the Royal Academy of Sciences. Oh, I almost forgot, you are an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences."

"This... do you want to hold a salon with the academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences? I should be able to arrange it..."

Lavoisier said hesitantly. He vaguely sensed what Lawrence meant, but he didn't dare to confirm it, so he had to give a rather conservative answer.

After hearing this, Lawrence could only chuckle and shake his head. If it were the Duke of Choiseul or the Duke of Richelieu, they would definitely know what he meant from the first sentence.

"I mean..."

"To communicate with them for a long time, of course, it is best to be one of them."

"You want to join the Royal Academy of Sciences?"

Lavoisier suddenly realized it, but then he said with some worry:

"However, I have to say that this is a bit difficult. Of course, I am not boasting. You need to have some well-known academic works and have joint recommendations from three academicians. Then you have to go through a vote by the committee. After all this, you can

Will be awarded the title of academician."

Lawrence listened to Lavoisier's explanation and nodded without surprise. This recommendation system was still widely used in later generations.

However, for Lawrence, although he is confident that he can join the Royal Academy of Sciences through formal procedures with the scientific knowledge in his mind, it will undoubtedly take a long time.

Let’s not talk about publishing influential academic articles. Just finding three academicians to jointly recommend it will cost one (this chapter is not finished yet!)

After all, Lawrence did not come from university. He had neither the recommendation of his tutor nor the connections in the academic circle.

Therefore, if Lawrence wants to become a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences as soon as possible, he still has to rely on the famous young man in front of him.

This is why Lawrence deliberately accepted Lavoisier’s letter of visit among many visitors.

"Ah, it does sound difficult."

Lawrence took a sip of coffee, moistened his throat, and suddenly changed the subject and said:

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Lavoisier, what are you going to do when you visit me today? We were so happy chatting just now that we almost forgot about it."

"Here..."

Lavoisier stared. No matter how slow he was, he could tell what Lawrence wanted at this time.

Lawrence glanced at Lavoisier, who was hesitating and hesitant, and added intentionally or unintentionally:

"I will talk to the Duke of Choiseul recently about the tax issues in the areas around Paris. It would be best if I could help you."

After hearing this, Lavoisier could not hide the surprise on his face. He had no idea how Lawrence guessed that he was here to ask him to expand the scope of his tax package.

"Ha ha..."

Lavoisier laughed twice. He also knew that with his current channels, it would be a blessing to meet someone like Lawrence. If he misses this opportunity, who knows how long he will have to wait, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just some trivial matters about the tax concession area under my name. Compared with this, I am more concerned about Monsignor Bonaparte's joining the Royal Academy of Sciences."

"Oh? Really? Didn't you just say it was a little difficult?" Lawrence asked with a chuckle.

"Well, actually..."

After Lavoisier thought for a moment, he forced a smile and said:

"You have just demonstrated your excellent academic abilities. I think there will be several academicians including me who are willing to recommend you."

"This is really great." Lawrence nodded with satisfaction, and then added:

"What about influential academic works? Although I have some wonderful experimental ideas, unfortunately my official duties prevent me from doing so."

Lavoisier replied fluently:

"No, the suggestion you just gave me is very important. I think I must list your name as a co-author in the next few articles, including this one that has been published. I will also list your

What do you think about adding the name...?"

"Oh! Mr. Lavoisier, you are so well off."

Lawrence relaxed and leaned on the sofa, nodded slightly and said:

"In this case, I think your request for the expansion of the tax concession area will definitely be taken seriously by the Duke of Choiseul."

"That's good...that's good..."

Lavoisier smiled awkwardly.

Although the two had reached an agreement and Lavoisier got what he wanted, he was not happy at all at this moment.

"Can I ask a question that might offend you?"

Lavoisier stared at Lawrence for a while and asked hesitantly.

"Please do it." Lawrence waved his hand and said.

"I feel that you are indeed knowledgeable and have entered the Royal Academy of Sciences openly. Why did you use this...shameful method?"

Lavoisier observed Lawrence's face and said as tactfully as possible:

"I think this is a bit insulting to the scholar's demeanor and ethics."

Lawrence picked up the coffee cup and took a long sip. He didn't care about Lavoisier's somewhat sarcastic words and said directly:

"Mr. Lavoisier, I'm sorry if your conscience has been condemned by our transaction. It's just that for myself, I consider myself more of a profit-seeking politician than a scholar who insists on integrity."
