Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

"Why aren't you coming? What are you standing there for!" Mo Xiaohu shouted back when he noticed the person hadn't followed.

Xiao Letian loudly said, "Teacher, you're not allowed to step on the grass. There's a sign here."

"Not allowed to step on it?" Mo Xiaohu suspiciously turned back.

Looking down, it really wasn't allowed!

After pondering for a moment, Mo Xiaohu suddenly kicked out, sending the sign flying several meters with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

He muttered and cursed, "It must be some idiot landscaper who put up this sign! Isn't the ground meant to be stepped on? Moron!"

"Never mind him, let's go!"

Xiao Letian's face was filled with horror at the sight, and a trace of regret suddenly arose in his heart.

What kind of teacher is this! So violent, cursing people right off the bat... Was he just pretending before?

He doesn't act like a teacher at all!

Mo Xiaohu sensed the change and quickly forced a friendly smile: "Oh... I'm just a straightforward person, I say what's on my mind, don't mind it! We who are doing science should be like this in the future, say what you have to say, eat when you should eat, and whore when you should whore, don't get caught up in all the complexities, understand? There aren't that many complicated interpersonal relationships, if the sky falls, the principal will hold it up, let's go."

Xiao Letian responded hesitantly and followed, stepping onto the lawn.

In the square, the platform had already been set up.

Li Yuanzhao propped his cheek, listlessly surveying the surroundings.

Fang Zheng was observing the new students in the distance with binoculars, a hint of a vein throbbing on his forehead.

What's wrong with this bunch of sons-of-bitches students? They're all stepping on the lawn!

I spent a lot of money to fix it, what a damn waste!

The sign was put up for nothing, there's no discipline at all, I have to educate them properly later!

Fang Zheng sighed and finally put down the binoculars, quietly waiting for the students to enter.

After a noisy half hour, all personnel were ready.

Six hundred teachers and students sat neatly below, waiting for Fang Zheng to speak.

Fang Zheng put on a smiling face, picked up the loudspeaker next to him, and cleared his throat: "Everyone's here, right?"

"I, Fang Zheng, will be your principal from today onwards. Everyone will have more opportunities to meet in the future."

"Without further ado, let's welcome the new students, applaud!"

The people from Taoyuan County took the lead, and applause gradually rang out.

Fang Zheng pressed down with both hands and said: "Respected teachers, dear students, good morning everyone!"

Applause rang out again.

"Dongjiao University has just been established, and our first batch of new students have all entered the school! For you new students, this is a moment full of anticipation, full of hope, and a little bit of trepidation. First of all, on behalf of Dongjiao University, I would like to express my warmest congratulations and welcome to everyone for being admitted to Dongda, joining Dongda, and becoming a Dongda person!"

The applause continued.

"I want to keep today's opening ceremony speech brief. But I feel that I must say the following to you, and it can be regarded as a few heartfelt words."

"As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and a good start is half the battle. Both speak to the importance of the beginning. Whether teachers or students, they must pay attention to the first day and the first time of school. So, how to pay attention to it? First of all..."

Xiao Letian sat under the stage, staring at Fang Zheng with admiration.

This is the biggest official he has ever seen, and Fang Zheng is known to everyone in the capital.

Is this the demeanor of a high official? No wonder he can achieve such great achievements at a young age.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, a good start to learning, seize all the time to learn. Learning is a hard thing, it requires effort, it requires the will to overcome difficulties, and the will to overcome laziness..."

Fang Zheng was talking eloquently on the stage, and the students below already had stars in their eyes.

How well said! Listening to it makes my blood boil, I have to study myself to death!

However, the teachers from Taoyuan didn't think so.

Each of them looked like they had lost their parents, occasionally looking at the students behind them with pity.

It's over! Judging from this posture, this new student welcome ceremony will not end without an hour or two...

Foolish new students... You can still listen attentively now, but I guess you won't be able to hold on for long.

"The school hopes that all teachers will unite more closely, seek truth and be pragmatic, pioneer and innovate, and comprehensively improve..."

"Strive to have goals in your heart, see actions every day, and be able to persevere every day; have a peaceful attitude, and a balance between work and rest; face difficulties..."

An hour and a half later, under the shade of the platform, Fang Zheng was still spewing saliva.

The people under the stage were about to die of dehydration... Each of them wished they were dead.

Xiao Letian's eyes had already changed from excitement to despair.

How can this Master Fang be so talkative! Are all the people in the court so talkative? No wonder I can't pass the imperial examination.

"...Let us work together, use diligence and perseverance, and write the most magnificent movement of youth with fortitude and self-confidence, realize the dream of youth, and jointly create a new tomorrow! Finally, I wish the teachers success in their work, and the students progress in their studies and all their wishes come true!"

After another half an hour, Fang Zheng pursed his somewhat dry lips and finished with lingering interest.

Looking at the crooked and distorted crowd below, he cursed in his heart.

Damn you, I'll let you step on my lawn!

Li Yuanzhao sat beside him, swinging his body for an hour, and didn't let go of his clenched fist until the end.

He leaned close to Fang Zheng's ear and whispered hatefully: "Lao Fang, I really want to strangle you! Didn't you grow a mouth in your last life!"

Fang Zheng smiled: "Your Highness, this will be a school tradition in the future."

Then he shouted loudly to the stage: "Next, the teachers will take the new students to visit and introduce the campus, let's disperse! Mo Xiaohu, come over here."

The crowd dispersed, and Xiao Letian wanted to follow along.

But Mo Xiaohu said he would take him on a tour, but he was called away at this time.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to wait and sat back in his original position.

On the platform, Mo Xiaohu wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, panting, and walked up to Fang Zheng and said, "Master, you spoke really long this time! What are the arrangements?"

Fang Zheng glanced at him: "What, is my speech unpleasant to listen to?"

"No, no, I can't wait to hear you speak every day." Mo Xiaohu rubbed his hands and chuckled twice.

"Alright, let's get down to business. The first project for the establishment of the new school will be handed over to you. You have to show some results for others to see."

"What project!" Mo Xiaohu said excitedly.

"Hot air balloon."

"Lao Fang, what is a hot air balloon?" Li Yuanzhao interjected.

"Your Highness will definitely like it when it's made, don't ask now."

Mo Xiaohu's face fell: "Ah? Isn't that the abandoned project in the county?"

Recalling that he had tried to make a hot air balloon after listening to Fang Zheng's concept, but was called to a halt halfway through, so he always thought this thing was hopeless, but he didn't expect to restart it this time.

Fang Zheng nodded: "Yes, it was certainly not appropriate to take it out in the past, but now it is appropriate to take it out. Stop talking nonsense, take your people to do it."

Mo Xiaohu was also unsure, and hesitated: "Master, whether this thing can be done or not... The manpower of the ordnance department has always been insufficient, and now many people have to teach, so the manpower is even more..."

"You take the lead! There are so many new students, find a few clever ones to assist you, work-study program!"

"Uh.. Okay! I'll go arrange it now!"
