Hong Chengchou was only thirteen years old at this time, and he was really a little frightened by Guo Zhiyuan, who looked like he was crazy, and he threw Guo Zhiyuan's hand away in some horror, looked at Guo Zhiyuan with a vigilant face, and asked vigilantly and suspiciously: "This brother, Xiaosheng and Brother Tai have never met, why does Brother Tai seem to know Xiaosheng for a long time?" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan wants to intercept Hu Hong Chengchou, the "first hero of the Qing Dynasty", naturally he wants to take advantage of Hong Chengchou's young age to "fool and lame", and now show his "flickering skills", and smile mysteriously: "This house knows astronomy, knows geography, and can predict the future. ……”

Hong Chengchou is known as a "genius" in the township, and even his enlightenment teacher Hong Qiyin (Hong Qiyin: Wanli has been a member of the imperial examination, once served as an envoy in Yunnan, and set up a museum in his hometown to teach after leaving office) also praised him for "thousands of miles of family horses, and ten thousand stones of the country", naturally he is not so good at "fooling", and immediately regarded Guo Zhiyuan as a charlatan, pouted and said: "Xiaosheng's family is poor and has no long things, so Brother Tai doesn't have to waste his energy on Xiaosheng!" ......" Suddenly, his heart moved, and he noticed that Guo Zhiyuan called himself "Benfu", his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with wide eyes: "Benfu? Could it be that you are Guo Zhiyuan, Lord Guo, who defeated the Japanese Saint and conferred the title of Uncle Dongfan?! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan's identity was revealed, and he had to pay more attention to his image, so he coughed majestically and said: "It's this official, little brother, don't get me wrong, this official can indeed predict the future, what Fang Cai said is not a lie......"

Before he finished speaking, Hong Chengchou had already "pounced" and knelt on the ground, bowed his head, and said excitedly: "The kid has eyes but no beads, and he doesn't know adults, so please forgive your sins!" My lord is Marshal Qi alive, and he is omnipotent and omniscient! ……”。

Guo Zhiyuan touched his nose a little embarrassed, he knew that as long as he showed his identity, he would not have to bother so much to make Hong Chengchou bow down, in the final analysis, this is also due to his status, it was naturally not easy for Guo Zhiyuan to recruit talents, but now Guo Zhiyuan is holding a heavy fist and holding Dongfan alone, and his reputation in Fujian is skyrocketing, and it is natural to recruit talents. Hong Chengchou was originally a person who was eager for fame, and he was a teenager, and regarded Guo Zhiyuan and other young and promising officialdom upstarts as idols, and his blood boiled when he heard Guo Zhiyuan's deeds in his hometown, so he made a special trip to Dongfan to study.

Not only Hong Chengchou, but also those Mengsheng scholars around him heard that the person in front of him was the famous Dongfan Bo Guo Zhiyuan, and they all fell to their knees in panic and excitement, Guo Zhiyuan had to help everyone up one by one, and encouraged everyone with kind words, and especially told Hong Chengchou to study hard, he would pay attention to his academic status, and then left quickly in the eager and admiring eyes of everyone.

Guo Zhengyu was also very pleased to see that his son had such prestige among scholars, and advised: "The young man surnamed Hong is indeed extraordinary, he is a talent that can be created, Yuan'er, since you want to run a academy, you should do your best, and don't mistake people's children......"

Guo Zhiyuan knew that Guo Zhengyu also cherished his talents, but he didn't know if he would value him so much if he knew that Hong Chengchou would be a traitor to the Ming Dynasty in the original history, but now Hong Chengchou should have no chance to be a traitor, so he hurriedly said: "Dad, now that Dongfan is just starting, his son is really unskilled, it's better for you to stay and teach him personally, so that you won't mislead people's children!" ……”

Guo Zhengyu finally relented, and said with a long sigh: "That's it, that's it, my father has planned to return to the mountains and forests for the rest of his life, it's rare that you have this heart, and set up a college, and my father will reluctantly help you, if you can teach a few talents that can be created, it can be regarded as a spare effort for the country......"

Guo Zhiyuan was overjoyed, and took Guo Zhengyu to the opening ceremony, Xu Guangqi and others, who were in charge of the preparations at the scene, also came to meet Guo Zhengyu, and learned that Guo Zhengyu agreed to stay to help Guo Zhiyuan manage Dongfan Academy was also very happy, with Guo Zhengyu in charge, the pressure on them was much less, and it was also very helpful to start the reputation of Dongfan Academy!

The opening ceremony was held in the large playground of Dongfan Academy, which was completely designed in accordance with the modern school playground, with a circular track, horizontal bars and parallel bars, a long jump sand pit, a football field, a basketball court, etc., which made the inland scholars who had never seen it feel fresh and curious, and they had enthusiastically discussed what the purpose of these strange instruments was.

At this time, there were groups of soldiers from the New Army who came to maintain order, commanding the soldiers to line up in a neat queue phalanx, although the soldiers were a little uncomfortable, but they felt the fierce killing atmosphere of the soldiers of the New Army, knowing that these were heroes who had killed the Japanese Invaders, so there was not much rebound, they were very obedient to the command to line up in a phalanx, and the chattering playground quickly quieted down.

Looking at the soldiers who were lined up in a neat phalanx under the rostrum, Guo Zhiyuan was also proud, picked up the iron megaphone he specially asked craftsmen to make and walked to the center of the rostrum, ready to start his opening ceremony speech, for this speech Guo Zhiyuan has been carefully preparing for a long time, because he knows that these scholars are the backbone of his future training, he must put his own mark on them, this first opening speech is very important.

The scholars in the audience are also looking at Guo Zhiyuan on the stage with eager eyes, Guo Zhiyuan is less than ten years older than them, but he is already the prefect of Wupin, and the legend about Guo Zhiyuan has long been spread among the people of Fujian.

Guo Zhiyuan looked around at the scholars in the audience, and shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are welcome to work tirelessly to cross the ocean to study at Dongfan Academy, where you will start a new life, but this government advises you to be psychologically prepared, the teaching method of Dongfan Academy may be completely different from what you have learned before, in Dongfan Academy you are not only learning the Four Books and Five Classics, but also learning Gewu, learning martial arts, learning riding and archery, and learning farming...... Studying at Dongfan Academy will be very hard for you, because you have to use not only your brain, but also your hands, not only sweat, but even blood! ……”

The scholars who were full of excitement in the audience were suddenly in an uproar, learning riding and archery, learning martial arts, they can still understand, the six arts of the gentleman, etiquette, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, mathematics, some academies also have archery and equestrian courses, but what the hell is this learning to farm? Isn't that insulting? And reading books to sweat and even bleed? Isn't that too ruthless? We're here to read, not to die, right?
