Afternoon.
The warm sun shone on the earth, but no one could feel the slightest bit of warmth.
No one knew who cut the thin leaves, but the spring breeze in February was like scissors!
If the spring breeze in February was like this, what about the spring breeze at the end of January? When it scraped against the face, it was still like a knife cutting.
On the sports field of Yanhuang College, more than 600 students from 16 classes stood neatly on the grass, waiting for Li Zexuan to speak.
The students didn't have to wait for long. At three in the afternoon, Li Zexuan, dressed as a scholar, walked up to the "rostrum" with steady steps.
When the students below saw Li Zexuan on the stage, they couldn't help but stand up straighter. Clearly, after spending the entire winter break together, Li Zexuan's reputation among the students had become even more resounding!
"At the beginning of the New Year, first of all, in the name of the Yamachō of Yanhuang College, I wish all the students and teachers of the college a happy New Year!"
Every time he saw these youthful faces, Li Zexuan felt that what he was doing was so meaningful. He was changing a group of young people, and in turn, changing the entire Tang Dynasty. In a few years, these children were bound to spread the seeds of engineering across every inch of Tang Dynasty!
Clap clap clap ~!
The students and teachers below the stage couldn't help but applaud.
Li Zexuan pressed his hands down. When silence was restored, he spoke again. "Last year was the first year of Yanhuang College's establishment. You are the first batch of students of the college, and you are also very outstanding students. In last year's final exam, out of 500 points, 402 students scored 400 points and above, and 95 students scored 450 points and above. I am very satisfied and gratified that you were able to achieve such results in such a rushed preparation!
"Especially those students who ranked in the top ten of the grade. You are very outstanding, but please don't be arrogant, because that is only your past glory. The road ahead is still very long!
For those students who did not perform well, don't be discouraged. No matter how good the road is, there will be times when it isn't smooth. No matter how smooth life is, there will be moments when it isn't as you wish. You must firmly believe that you can face difficulties head-on. You must establish the belief that you will win.
Setbacks and hardships were only stepping stones for the strong. For capable people, they were wealth. For the weak, they were a bottomless abyss! Whether you are strong, capable, or weak, it all depends on your own choice! But as your Yamachō, I hope that all of you will be strong!! Are you willing to become experts? "
Li Zexuan's voice was very low, and his voice was also very moving. Although there were no flowery words in his words, nor were there any heroic words, when he said it, all the students in the audience, whether they were previously complacent or dejected, now had solemn and resolute expressions, as if they had been given a new lease of life!
This was especially true for those students who did not do well in their exams. At this moment, their eyes were filled with fighting spirit. They could not wait to go into battle and take another exam!
"Yes!!"
As soon as Li Zexuan finished speaking, a tsunami of cheers erupted from the crowd!
Li Gang and the others looked at each other and sighed in relief. This was because in the morning, they were still thinking about how to cheer up those students who did not do well. Now, after Li Zexuan's speech, the students were revived. There was no need for them to worry about anything!
Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said with satisfaction, "Good! Next, I will personally give out awards and scholarships to the top ten students of last year's final exam! "
"Scholarships? What's scholarships? "
Most of the students knew about awards because they had worked at the Warm Tang Foundation last year. Every time a citizen donated a sum of money, they would be presented with a certificate. The students guessed that an award should be similar to a certificate, but this was the first time they had heard of something new!
Li Zexuan smiled and explained, "As the name suggests, these scholarships are specially set up for students with excellent academic performance. From today onwards, the top ten students of each semester's final exam will receive the Yamachō Scholarship. The first place will receive 500 strings of cash, the second place will receive 400 strings of cash, the third place will receive 300 strings of cash, and the fourth to tenth place will receive 100 strings of cash each. The Yamachō Scholarship will be funded by me personally, and it will be evaluated every semester. I hope that everyone will continue to work hard and win this scholarship!"
"Wow ~!"
Knowledge could change one's fate. This was what it meant to change one's fate! Just by passing an exam, they could receive 100 strings of cash and completely change the fate of a poor family. This was even faster than the imperial examination!
Sure enough, as soon as Li Zexuan finished speaking, the audience immediately went into an uproar.
Although there were corresponding rewards for the previous monthly exams, they were given out in the form of footballs and copper coins, so the audience did not feel much about it. However, this time, Li Zexuan directly and crudely used copper coins as the prizes. The shock it gave was on a completely different level!
"Quiet, quiet! Next, the students whose names are called, please come up in order! "
Li Zexuan suppressed the noise of discussion and read, "Last year's final exam's first place, Jia Jiayin. Second place, Li Ke. Third place, Li Tai …"
After the names of the top ten students were read out, Jia Jiayin and the others hurriedly went up to the rostrum and stood in order.
Li Zexuan started from the first place and gave out the certificates. Speaking of which, although this certificate was similar to the charity certificate issued by the Nuan Tang Foundation, the production was much better than the charity certificate. The words "Certificate of Honor" were embossed in gold on the cover, and there was also Li Zexuan's personal signature and personal seal. It was not only classy, but it was also a great symbol of honor!
The moment they received the certificates, Jia Jiayin, Li Ke, and Li Tai were all shocked. Obviously, they did not expect Li Zexuan to make such a beautiful certificate. If they had also transmigrated from the modern world, they would have only said the words "high-end, classy, and classy" at this moment!
"Your scholarships will be collected from Mr. Yan later with the certificates. If anyone wants to send the money home, the academy can also send someone to escort them!"
After giving out the certificates, Li Zexuan said again.
After all, a few hundred strings of cash could be considered a "huge sum of money". If there was no escort, it could easily attract the attention of bandits.
"Thank you, Yamachō!"
Other than Li Tai and Li Ke, the two second-generation rich people who "treated money like dirt", the rest of the students bowed to Li Zexuan and thanked him sincerely.
"Okay! You can all go down first! Next, we will officially award the six new professors for Yanhuang College! "
