On the playground of Caijiaxiang Primary School.

Cai Yimu and his classmates, under the command of the teacher, came to the stage one after another to receive their graduation certificates.

He was at the top of his ranks, and he stood at the top. It wasn't long before it was their turn.

Ichiki took a deep breath and walked nervously behind his classmates to the stage, standing in a row facing the audience.

Zhao Gongzi smiled and stood behind the wooden table on the side, picking up a hard-shell booklet with a green silk cover and the size of a book.

On the cover, the three gilded characters of 'graduation certificate' are eye-catching.

"Cai Yimu!" Zhao Hao read out the name on his graduation certificate.

Ichiki was stunned for a moment before he responded loudly: "Here!" ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Principal Zhao Gongzi Zhao according to the teacher's request.

Zhao Gongzi handed him the graduation certificate, Cai Yimu hurriedly took it with both hands, and stammered: "Thank you, thank you, principal." ”

"Congratulations on graduation." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.

Cai Yimu bowed deeply again, and then walked off the stage like stepping on cotton.

When he stood in the audience, he didn't bother to open his graduation certificate and take a look.

I saw that inside was a delicate and sturdy pale cyan mulberry paper.

In the upper left corner of the page is the school emblem of Caijiaxiang Primary School, with a circular seal 'Cai' character.

In the upper right corner is a vivid sketch of him...... Before graduation, the school specially asked a painter to draw for each graduate.

In the middle is 'Caijiaxiang Primary School' six eye-catching italic characters.

In a slightly smaller font, it is written that 'Student Cai Yimu, a native of Shangyuan County, Yingtianfu, is now 16 years old, from October 20 of the first year of Longqing to October 28 of the second year of Longqing to study in the first crash course of the school, the study period is completed, the examination is passed, and he is allowed to graduate. ’

In the lower right corner, there is the signature of 'Principal Zhao Hao', as well as the time of awarding the certificate, and the seal of the school and the name of Zhao Gongzi.

There is also a square red seal in the lower left corner, with six large characters written on it: 'Science is Power'.

~~

Not only Yiki, but also the rest of the graduates are also looking at the treasure, and they have just received their graduation certificates.

In addition to being good-looking, the gold content of this certificate is also very high.

Except for the 30 people who are going to go to Kunshan to study in middle school, the remaining 220 graduates have all signed long-term labor contracts with Jiangnan Group.

On the first day of next month, they will go to the training base on Xishan Island to receive a one-month group training, and then be assigned to various companies under the group for internships.

The salary of the internship period is as high as 22 or 2 months, which is more than the monthly salary of a skilled weaver. It is said that the salary will be doubled after becoming a regular employee, but the details will not be known until the training.

After all the certificates were issued and the students returned to each other, Zhao Gongzi took over the tin microphone from the hands of Director Yu, congratulated all the graduates again, and then delivered a graduation message titled "Science is Power".

"Today, you're going to get out of school. May you always remember this day, for from today you have embarked on a path that is different from that of others. In the future, whether you are continuing your studies or devoting yourself to various work, I hope that you will not forget that our school motto is ......"

"Science is power!" The students shouted out the motto of Caijiaxiang Primary School in unison.

"Yes, knowledge is power. This power can break down barriers, not only allow you to live a better life and leap to a higher level, but also allow you to see a wider world, increase the length and width of your life, and let you have a life that is ten times more colorful than ordinary people! ”

"Students, what I want to tell you is that you are in the best era, the great ship of science is about to set sail, and you will ride the wind and waves, travel to fields that mankind has never reached, obtain knowledge that mankind has never mastered, and may even become the creator of a certain kind of knowledge and the inventor of a certain great invention. This is an opportunity that your forefathers never had. ”

Bursts of applause rang out, and Zhao Gongzi could only keep stopping and wait for the applause to pass before speaking.

"But at the same time, you are also in the worst era, the Ming Dynasty has serious land annexation, corrupt officials are rampant, the rich have no land, and the people have no place to stand. In a small way, knowledge can help you to take good care of your own family. To put it mildly, knowledge can make the world a better place - many seemingly unsolvable problems in the Ming Dynasty, if you have enough knowledge, can be easily solved. ”

"It's like saying that the people I just mentioned have no place to stand. If you have enough geographical knowledge, you should know that in addition to the Ming Dynasty, there is still several times the fertile land of the Ming Dynasty, waiting for us to develop. So many, many problems seem to be unsolvable, but in fact they are due to ignorance. ”

Zhao Hao said earnestly to the graduates: "So I hope that even if you leave the school, you will not interrupt your studies." To this end, Yufeng Middle School will cooperate with Jiangnan Group to open correspondence courses, so that everyone can have the opportunity to continue to improve themselves in addition to work. ”

Hearing this, there was a round of warmer applause from the audience. Cai Yimu slapped his slap even more, and it was his greatest wish to continue studying.

Finally, he raised his voice and said, "Trust me, science is power!" If you are dissatisfied with your situation and the world, continue to learn knowledge, and you will definitely find a solution from it! And the scientific knowledge you have will eventually become the manifestation of this world! ”

The tidal wave of applause lasted again.

~~

After the ceremony, the school held a graduation dinner to entertain the graduates and their parents for lunch.

This morning was a certificate and a speech, but Zhao Gongzi was tired. He refused Yu Jiachang's graciously retained him, and did not attend the noisy dinner.

He was going to go to the first room in front of him, eat quietly, and go back to rest.

Who knew that under the greeting of the shopkeeper Fang and Siya, when he entered the founding store of Weijixian, he saw a scene of depression.

I saw that only seven of the ten tables on the first floor sat down, and only two of the four private rooms upstairs had guests to eat.

Since the opening of Weijixian for a year, it has been a record of being full, and in this way, the golden body has been broken.

How can Zhao Gongzi, who is accustomed to full guests, accept it?

He went into the box called 'Chun' with a dark face, sat down and asked in a muffled voice, "What's wrong?" Where did my guests go?! ”

Tang Siya's eyes were red, and she lowered her head and didn't know how to explain to her son. I only feel that my conscientious operation in the past year has lost all meaning......

Shopkeeper Fang poured tea for Zhao Hao, and said with a wry smile: "Don't get angry first, this is something that can't be helped." ”

"How?" Zhao Hao asked coldly.
