Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

That night, Xiao Letian was assigned to a dormitory and fell into deep thought.

He had an excellent impression of Mo Xiaohu, who was enthusiastic and spoke frankly.

However, choosing a major was something that needed careful consideration.

He had already made a mess of his studies before, and if he switched to a new path and still ended up the same way...

Then he would have no face to go home and see his own father again, and might as well find a rope and hang himself.

The new roommates were all enthusiastically discussing what majors to choose, but no one mentioned the Ordnance Workshop... that special name.

After thinking about it until midnight, Xiao Letian tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and finally drifted off to sleep in the dormitory.

The next morning, someone came to inspect the dorm.

The inspector glanced around the room, vigorously woke up a few people, and shouted, "Get up! Go out for morning exercises, and after that, eat and go to class! Those who don't pass the basic courses can go straight home! Everyone, pay attention."

Xiao Letian rubbed his sleepy eyes and slowly got up.

The other roommates also woke up.

They all looked at the inspector, who pointed to the trash can in the dormitory and said, "Who ate chicken bones! No trash is allowed in the trash can from now on, understand? Get up, no more allowances next time, deducting points will affect your further education."

Having said that, the inspector turned and left.

Already not having slept well, hearing someone say such stupid things, Xiao Letian's stomach suddenly churned with anger, but he quickly suppressed it.

His mind inexplicably recalled the scene yesterday when Mo Xiaohu kicked away the sign protecting the small grass.

I wish I could be so carefree...

When one is under another's roof, one must lower one's head, this thought was only fleeting.

After getting up, dressing, and washing up with water from the well outside, Xiao Letian followed the crowd to the square for morning exercises.

On the square, people with loudspeakers were waiting solemnly, and there were also teachers teaching the exercises.

Suppressing his shame, Xiao Letian successfully learned the first set of national fitness exercises.

【Rising Sun】

After finishing the morning exercises, it was time to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Breakfast was very cheap, only a few coins to fill up, with steamed buns, white porridge, side dishes, and everything else.

It was much better than eating at home, and he ate with great satisfaction.

The reason why the cafeteria was so cheap was due to Fang Zhengyi's subsidy out of his own pocket.

After breakfast, it was time to go to class. The classes had been divided a day in advance.

Students with exceptionally weak foundations were taught knowledge of writing and numbers, while those with a foundation were directly taught 'common sense'.

When Xiao Letian walked into the classroom with trepidation, the teacher had already prepared the blackboard writing.

The blackboard was densely covered with words and some simple drawings.

Once everyone was in place, the teacher immediately began to lecture, pointing to the circle on the blackboard and saying, "This is the world we live in..."

The students below slowly opened their mouths wide.

Peach Blossom Spring's lecturer is teaching the new students...

Half an hour later, class was dismissed.

The students in the basic class walked out of the classroom like zombies, dejected.

Xiao Letian was no exception, his face pale.

He couldn't accept the things taught in class at all... his worldview had been shattered.

What that the earth under our feet is a sphere revolving around the sun, vomiting blood oddities, the truth of the heavenly dog eating the sun... and a series of simple natural phenomena.

Of course, the courses were all pieced together from the common sense in Fang Zhengyi's head and years of watching "Approaching Science."

There were too many superstitious ideas among the people of Great Jing, and all basic courses were designed to dispel charm, break superstition, and initially cultivate staunch materialistic warriors.

Although the people of Great Jing didn't seem to have any fixed beliefs, believing in any god, believing in whatever they needed... that was far from atheism.

Therefore, scientific brainwashing was quite necessary.

There was no fear that no one would learn, anyway, these questions would be tested, and those who failed would have to go home.

Fang Zhengyi, as the textbook creator, was actually quite unsure... after all, he couldn't explain the things on his own body!

However, as a pragmatist, he didn't bother to think too much.

After all, productivity is the hard truth!

During the break, people could be seen everywhere in the teaching building arguing red-faced.

Most of them were discussing the knowledge they had just learned in class, after all, deeply rooted concepts from childhood were shaken, and no one could accept it.

The teachers in the building didn't stop them, and even actively participated in the discussion.

They didn't understand very deeply either, and at most, after asking one or two steps further, they wouldn't know how to explain it.

At this time, the teachers always looked at the students with kind eyes.

"Science requires self-study, if I tell you everything, would that still be called learning?"

The students were ashamed and dared not ask any more questions after hearing this.

The reason why the teachers from Peach Blossom Spring could have such good patience was naturally inseparable from Master Fang's teachings.

These people in the county had also done a lot of popular science on weekdays, and good patience was developed in the process.

Popular science is something that is anti-human, anti-intuitive, and anti-common sense. From a communication point of view, things that are too logical and evidentiary are extremely difficult to spread.

In addition, people who engage in science are too rational, look down on people everywhere, and think everyone is like a fool, making things even more difficult.

Some superficial superstitious ideas that have evolved from Buddhism and Taoism are very different, requiring no brainpower and conforming to imagination.

The communicators also carry compassion for the mediocre, believing that they hold the truth of the universe in their hearts, saving the common people from fire and water, with a great mission on their shoulders, and are even more tireless in spreading the gospel.

In contrast, cold popular science must at least take out ten times the enthusiasm of preaching to possibly catch up with their level.

In view of this situation, Fang Zhengyi's stick education, coupled with performance encouragement, took several years to successfully reverse the style of these people to some extent.

Now the teacher's attitude in Xiao Letian's eyes is as warm as spring.

The previous teachers were not like this... they would often slap people!

He had to be cautious when asking a question.

Standing for a long time, Xiao Letian still decided to ask about the major.

He walked carefully to the teacher and whispered, "Teacher, I want to ask if there is an Ordnance Workshop in the school?"

The teacher was chatting happily with others, paused when he heard the question, and said, "Yes! But the Ordnance Workshop hasn't been built yet, it's very special, how did you know?"

"Teacher Mo told me, recruiting me to the Ordnance Workshop."

The teacher nodded after hearing this: "That's a good thing, the Ordnance Workshop has more miscellaneous things to learn, it's not the same as other majors, and it often requires experiments and manufacturing."

"Mo Xiaohu is in charge of the Ordnance Workshop, listening to him is right. We are now...."

"Thank you, teacher." After listening to the explanation, Xiao Letian's eyes shone with brilliance.

......

In the next two days, Xiao Letian found several teachers to learn more details, and he already had an idea in his mind.

The basic class exam was naturally passed smoothly, the content of the exam paper was very simple.

Until the end of the exam, without waiting for Xiao Letian to find Mo Xiaohu.

Mo Xiaohu had already taken the initiative to look for him, smiling and saying: "Little Xiao, how have you considered it?"

Xiao Letian took a deep breath and said seriously: "This student is willing to follow the teacher to study in the future!"

"Good!" Mo Xiaohu clapped his hands and applauded, "Then come with me to sign the contract later, the Ordnance Workshop hasn't been built yet, you need to go to Taoyuan County to work, you should pack your things as soon as possible, we shouldn't delay."

Xiao Letian nodded heavily.

Mo Xiaohu smiled mysteriously: "There are two other newcomers, when we get to the county, we will first give you a welcome ceremony and take you to drink tea."

"Uh... drink tea? What kind of tea?"

"White peach... oolong tea."
