The first county magistrate in history

"The Empress is here!"

The onlookers suddenly knelt down.

The empress's golden carriage appeared in the field of vision.

Since ancient times, the emperor's travels have always been grand, but Xia Mochu only brought a few eunuchs, palace maids, and a team of imperial guards in shining armor and awe-inspiring appearances.

An Dehai and Li Qiuhan rode tall horses on both sides of the carriage.

Grand Tutor Wei Xuelin followed behind in a sedan chair carried by eight people.

Xia Mochu was very surprised to see the neat lines of court officials and teachers from a distance.

But when he saw Qin Zheng standing at the front of the team of role models, he understood everything.

Xia Mochu raised the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, this guy has some tricks up his sleeve.

When Xia Mochu stepped down from the carriage, everyone knelt down and kowtowed to him, even Xia Bitu was no exception.

"My people, please stand up!" The empress first said to the people.

The people were shocked.

This was the first time that an emperor took the people into consideration.

Throughout the dynasties, when the emperor traveled, he would ignore even the kneeling common people. Moreover, common people were not allowed to look up at the emperor, otherwise they would be charged with assassination and beheaded on the spot.

Although the empress would not kill civilians at will before, she would ignore them. What happened today?

He actually ignored his ministers and instead let the people level themselves first.

Even the court officials and teachers were surprised!

At this moment, Xia Bitu glanced at Qin Zheng casually. This kid has too much influence!

Qin Zheng knelt on the ground with his head lowered, not looking at him.

The empress spoke and the people all stood up.

Xia Mochu then said to all the officials and teachers, "My dear ministers, please stand up."

Everyone stood up.

Xia Mochu said, "I rule the world, with both civil and military talents complementing each other. The founding of the new academy today is a great event for the nation and a blessing for culture and education. Since ancient times, all sages and wise men have studied and advanced to officialdom. The path of learning is endless. The key is to study the world and gain knowledge, be sincere and upright, cultivate oneself and manage one's family, govern the country and bring peace to the world. We should uphold the teachings of the sages, cultivate talents who can apply knowledge to the world, promote Confucianism, and educate the people. May our dynasty produce many talents, flourish its literary fortune, and continue its glory."

"Thank you for your grace, our emperor is wise and holy. Long live the emperor!"

Everyone kneel down to express gratitude!

Qin Zhenghe sighed, these people are really talented, they actually know what to say and when.

Just like now, everyone was in unison, no one said anything wrong, except him.

He dared not speak, for fear of saying something wrong!

"My dear people, please stand up." The empress said with a smile.

At this moment, Grand Tutor Wei Xuelin said, "Your Majesty, please move to the academy!"

Xia Mochu nodded: "Let's go in and take a look."

He walked in front, with An Dehai and Li Qiuhan following closely.

Prime Minister Xia Bitu and Grand Tutor Wei Xuelin followed behind, and all civil and military officials followed behind him.

Qin Zheng stood there without moving.

"Vice President, it's time for us to leave!" someone said anxiously.

They just like to compete with each other, and at this moment they wish they could leave all the civil and military officials and even the prime minister behind.

Qin Zheng shook his head: "We are teachers and should be humble. How can we be competitive?"

The teachers blushed and felt ashamed.

At this moment, Xia Mochu turned around and looked at Qin Zheng in confusion: "Qin Aiqing, what are you doing?"

Qin Zheng saluted and said, "Your Majesty, we are teachers and we respect the wise and humble. There are too many people, so we will go in last!"

Xia Mochu's eyes flashed with admiration: "My dear ministers, you respect your teacher and honor the wise and humble yourself to others. You are worthy of being my teacher. I am very pleased!"

Suddenly he said to the officials behind him: "Teachers are like this, how can we blaspheme their nobleness? Teachers, please go in first!"

As he spoke, he took a few steps to the side, clearing the middle road.

Civil and military officials also quickly made way.

Qin Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, how can this be allowed?"

"My dear Qin, teachers, there is no need to be so modest. Think about it, who in my Daqian Dynasty has not received education from teachers? Please come in!" Xia Mo Chuxin said, don’t I know you yet?

Isn't that what you want?

Don't you just want to capture these teachers who are very knowledgeable but extremely pedantic?

"Thank you for your grace!" Qin Zheng then walked over and thought to himself that the empress really gave him face.

"Thank you, Lord!" The teachers hurriedly followed, each of them delighted.

They actually have no bad intentions and are very simple.

But he thinks he is noble and what he wants most is to be respected.

At this moment, everyone was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling.

Xia Bitu looked at Qin Zheng, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This guy is better at playing than me!

It took the group nearly an hour to complete the tour.

The empress led everyone into the classroom.

The classroom is very large and can accommodate thousands of people.

There were no low desks and cushions typical of the Daqian Dynasty schools, but instead a trapezoidal classroom.

This was Qin Zheng’s first time here, and he was confused when he saw this. Even this was copied and imitated?

Everyone was curious about the classroom, looking at it, touching it, and discussing it. After all, it was different from the previous classrooms!

The empress looked around and sat in the center of the first row.

Officials and role models sat on both sides behind the empress.

The literati and officials were divided into two camps.

Qin Zheng also sat down, thinking that the empress was tired.

Suddenly, the empress looked at Qin Zheng with a smile: "Qin Aiqing, today we are all your students, and we can start the class now!"

"Ah?" Qin Zheng was shocked.

lecture?

today?

he?

Didn’t you receive any notification before?

Wasn’t it agreed that he would be responsible for the teaching materials?

Qin Zheng looked at Xia Mochu and said, "Can you please stop doing this to me? I'm not prepared!"

There was a smile in Xia Mochu's eyes. I like it. What do you want to do?

Qin Zheng looked at Xia Mochu and said, "You are so cruel!"

Although Qin Zheng was not prepared, it didn't matter.

He could drown all the scholars in Daqian just by sprinkling some water.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qin Zheng said, walking to the podium.

The podium is also modeled after the one in Hongtong County, with a desk and a blackboard.

What the hell!

Qin Zheng hadn't noticed it before, but now he discovered that there was actually... a box of white chalk and a chalk eraser on the desk.

The words "Yingcai Brand" and "Made in Hongtong County" are printed on them.

Qin Zheng was confused at that time.

Qin Zheng looked at Xia Mochu and asked, "You even stole the chalk and the blackboard eraser?"

Xia Mochu smiled proudly and said, "We have it between us, so it can't be considered stealing!"

Qin Zheng was defeated directly and looked at Xia Mo Ning with dissatisfaction, saying that you must be a participant.

Xia Mo Ning smiled like a little fox, Master, it’s not me, it’s Uncle Yuan.

Qin Zheng stepped onto the podium and everyone's eyes were on him.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Since you are going to continue your studies, you must reach a higher level. The teachers here are all outstanding. I believe our courses will not be difficult for you. Our courses do not cover the usual content such as poetry, geography, and history!"

As he spoke, with a rustle, an abacus came out of his sleeve.

The whole thing is made of mahogany!

Qin Zheng thought to himself, luckily I wanted to settle the accounts with the Empress for the agency products today, so I brought an abacus.

Everyone looked at the rare object in Qin Zheng's hand.

Xia Mochu and Xia Mo Ning narrowed their eyes slightly. What is this?

How come they haven't seen it?

Qin Zheng bowed to Xia Mochu and said, "To be fair, Your Majesty, please give us a few math problems. The harder the better. I will work with you to solve them. Let's see who can answer faster and more accurately."

Xia Mochu immediately became interested, and she also wanted to see Qin Zheng's true talents.

She knew that Qin Zheng's arithmetic must be different, otherwise there would be no need to open this advanced training class.

But, she couldn't let this guy die here, and she couldn't let people see that she was letting him win.

So he said, "How long can you spend on addition and subtraction within ten thousand?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's just addition and subtraction of over a million. It's too simple, it can't be called a teacher training college."

It was only after Qin Zheng traveled here that he realized that this world only had addition and subtraction, but no multiplication and division.

Moreover, many of the systems of the Daqian Dynasty seemed to have integrated elements from many dynasties, but were different from each other.

In the eyes of a modern man like him, it is just chaos, a hodgepodge!

However, education followed the ancient path and was limited to the Three Virtues and Six Arts: Supreme Virtue, Mindfulness, Filial Piety, Rites, Music, Archery, Charioteering, Calligraphy, and Mathematics!

Xia Mochu was shocked when he heard this. Addition and subtraction of more than one million?

laugh!

Someone among the court officials laughed out loud: "Vice President Qin, won't that last until dark?"

Even as a teacher, some people echoed: "Vice President, it doesn't matter to us, but we can't keep His Majesty waiting for too long."

Qin Zheng smiled faintly: "If you find it difficult, I will answer it on the spot, and you can go back and verify the answer."

Everyone looked unhappy.

You are too arrogant. Aren't you looking down on us?

Especially the teachers, they no longer had the good impression of Qin Zheng for the glory he had brought to them.

Who do you look down on?

Xia Mochu went to see the tutor.

Wei Xuelin's old eyes were sharp as he whispered, "Your Majesty, it's harder to make a debut. This kid is hiding his abilities!"

"Oh?" Xia Mochu was speechless. Is this hiding his incompetence?

If he doesn't hide his shortcomings, he will be in trouble.
