Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

#915 - Chapter 903: Visit to Yucai Completed

The genius child personally endorsed it and even swore a poisonous oath that he would be struck by lightning if he was lying.

Naturally, the crowd didn't dare to disbelieve him. Someone silently nodded a couple of times to indicate their agreement, then flipped through the other teaching materials.

Since Fang Zheng agreed, what was there to disbelieve? After all, it was just elementary education. Even if the child learned something wrong, it wouldn't be too far off.

Why not trust him this once? Maybe it would have miraculous effects?

Seeing this, Fang Zheng thought to himself, this academic prodigy persona is really useful. It can fool people anywhere. No wonder a degree is a stepping stone.

While everyone was looking at the books, Fang Zheng walked to an empty desk again.

Pointing to the desk, he said, "This set of desks and chairs is also specially customized for students. It uses high-quality wood, and the wood fragrance can refresh the mind. Also, the curvature of this chair back can perfectly fit the human waist, avoiding problems such as back pain from prolonged sitting."

"Forgive me for speaking frankly, but when I was in court, I observed that many people had backaches. The reason for this is certainly due to aging, but another part is because the design of the chair is unreasonable. Sitting for a long time will cause chronic diseases over the years."

"So we considered many angles and designed this ergonomic chair. It was personally and repeatedly polished by more than a dozen orthopedic experts in the capital to find the best angle."

Ergonomic chair?

Fang Zheng's new words stunned everyone, but they did sound very reasonable.

Usually, the chairs everyone sits on are mostly straight up and down. This one with a curvature that can support the waist will obviously be much more comfortable.

Li Yansong stroked his beard and praised, "Prefectural Military Advisor Fang is indeed extremely attentive. He even considered such details."

Fang Zheng smiled, "This is nothing. It is right to put more effort into the next generation of the motherland. I think everyone would be willing to contribute to these children if they were in my place, am I right, Duke Li?"

"That's right, Prefectural Military Advisor Fang is right. Everything is for the children."

"Okay, I've shown everyone the classroom. The most important part left is the cafeteria inside our Yucai Elementary School. No matter how good the education is, it's better to take care of the children's health, so diet is the biggest feature of our elementary school! Everyone, please follow me."

After Fang Zheng finished speaking, he led the way out of the classroom. After walking out the door for about a hundred steps, he arrived at the cafeteria.

The cafeteria is also decorated in a quaint style. One side is set up with food serving windows, and the rest of the tables and chairs are standard four-seater tables and chairs. The overall style is not much different from the cafeterias of later generations.

At this time, the cafeteria was filled with fragrance, and a row of chefs had already prepared the meals and were waiting in full battle at the food serving windows.

Wearing snow-white chef's uniforms, the hygiene was reassuring at a glance.

Obviously, this scene was also extremely novel in the eyes of everyone.

Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed, "Everyone has been walking for so long and should be hungry. I specially ordered people to prepare meals. The food you eat in the cafeteria today is the same food that the students will eat here in the future, without any difference."

"Everyone can now line up along my left hand side and select the dishes at each window, which will be served to you by the chefs. Please do what you can and don't waste it."

After walking until now, they were indeed a little hungry, and the food here seemed to taste quite good. Just smelling the aroma made people's appetites open.

Listening to Fang Zheng's arrangement, everyone obediently and tacitly lined up in a long queue according to their official ranks.

At the front of the line near the food serving window, you can pick up chopsticks and tableware such as porcelain plates.

The rest didn't need Fang Zheng to give more instructions, the ministers naturally knew what to do.

Li Yansong and others had already started taking plates and serving food.

The people still queuing behind felt a little strange and couldn't help but ask, "Lord Fang, is this way of serving food... a little unrefined?"

It was indeed a bit unrefined. The students who came were all young masters and young gentlemen who were waited on to eat. They had never experienced this kind of form.

Fang Zheng naturally knew this in his heart and explained, "Everyone, there are many benefits to serving food like this. First, it can save a lot of time. The students go to and from class at the same time. It is difficult to prepare for dozens of people in the cafeteria one by one. On the other hand, there are many dishes to choose from, and students can also choose their favorite dishes, and they can also arrange how much to take, according to their needs. Finally, they can also cultivate their ability to do things themselves."

"So that's how it is. Even the cafeteria is designed with such care. Truly amazing!"

There was nothing to be entangled about on this point. Everyone was not a pretentious person. Once it was explained, no one would get caught up in this trivial matter.

Before long, everyone had served their meals, four people per table, and they were silently eating while calling out to friends.

Fang Zheng stood in the cafeteria and continued to introduce, "Children's growth is very important. We provide three meals a day here, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are thirty dishes for each of the lunch and dinner, with meat and vegetables for students to choose from. And breakfast is even more not simple. I specially spent a lot of money to set up a dairy farm outside the city, and students can drink a glass of fresh milk produced in the dairy farm every morning."

A glass of fresh milk every day! This is luxurious.

The cafeteria became noisy again.

Milk is a good thing. Many nobles actually have a habit of drinking milk, but the price is quite expensive.

Although some liars in later generations often promoted all kinds of bad things about milk, and nonsense such as people should not drink milk.

But in nature, it seems that nothing is born specifically to be eaten by people.

The subjects of Da Jing were obviously not so stupid. They all knew that milk was a good thing, but they didn't expect that they could be so extravagant as to give children a glass of milk every day!

After all, there were no dairy cows yet, and the yield of ordinary cows was really touching.

"Prefectural Military Advisor Fang, you spent a lot of money to open a dairy farm, right?"

Fang Zheng waved his hand with a smile, "Why mention money? It's vulgar to mention money. Everything is for the children!"

Again for the children? That's right!

Everyone laughed and continued to enjoy the food while discussing privately.

Li Yansong hinted to the old men at the same table with his eyes, don't be confused by Fang Zheng's little tricks.

Today is not to find a school for the children, but to do serious business!

Zheng Qiao nodded and touched the envelope in his sleeve without showing any emotion.

Fang Zheng, this fellow, is pretending to be generous... I'm afraid he's going to be ruthless. It has to be said, Yucai Elementary School really made his heart flutter, but he didn't know how much money this form he filled out could save him.

With so many people here today, I'm afraid more than half of them will be tempted.

When the host and guests were happy, Fang Zheng said, "There are still many places in the school that I haven't taken everyone to visit. Everyone can move around freely for the rest of the time. If you have any confusion or opinions, you can raise them now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Dongxiang, who had not reacted much, stood up and said, "Yes, this old man has also watched all the way. The facilities in the school can be called perfect. However, there are too many things inside that are prepared for fun. Wouldn't this be indulging in pleasure and losing ambition? Although it is elementary education, it should also adhere to the principle of suffering the mind and laboring the bones. Also, what about the most important teacher?"

Fang Zheng smiled slightly: "Well asked!"
