After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the school starts.

In the first class, Fang Ruixuan asked Liu Kui, the class monitor, to put away the homework, and then checked the reciting situation one by one.

During the holidays, except for a few days of relaxation during the Chinese New Year, these children are earnestly completing the homework assigned by Fang Ruixuan or increasing the amount of practice for themselves. Fang Ruixuan asked for advice.

This made Fang Ruixuan very satisfied, and the students were relieved. He didn't have to deal with so many chores, and he could concentrate on teaching.

"Last year's issue of distributing things and giving gifts, how are you thinking this winter?"

"People who have a good relationship get more gifts, and those who have a bad relationship get less." Cao Yuheng said, finally there was a question he knew the answer to, so naturally he had to speak actively.

"That's a bad relationship, why did you give him something?" Fang Ruixuan asked back.

"Well, this is because, because we are relatives." Cao Yuheng stammered.He really didn't think about why his relationship with his grandma's family is not good, and his father and dad still send things over every year.

"Okay, sit down."

"The value of a gift given to a high-status person is higher than that given to a low-status person. This is to express respect for a high-ranking person or a person with high morals. Gifts given to a person with a low status or poor family are also a kind of gift. This kind of respect is for the convenience of them returning the gift, and at the same time, it will not make them feel uneasy because they think we have other plans." Shen Huiming said.

"My mother said that giving things to brothers and sisters should be according to what they like, but when distributing things to them, it should be fair. When the servants in the family are paid, they should be based on their positions and the work they do. How much is the contribution to the master's family."

"Ming'er spoke very well." Fang Ruixuan nodded.What I said earlier must have been taught by Shen Haihai, and what I said below should be taught by Mrs. Shen.

But in the school where most of the rural students were, there was a sense of hatred. Fang Ruixuan didn't comment on his answer, but asked other students one by one.

"Everyone is very reasonable. However, there is no specific answer to this question. It should be analyzed according to the actual situation at that time." Fang Ruixuan simply analyzed to the students when to be equal and when to be uneven.

The people do not suffer from scarcity but inequality, but absolute averages are impossible to achieve, and only relative averages can be used to appease the people.Unequal distribution of resources according to work The participation of production factors in the distribution is the driving force of social development.

Afterwards, Fang Ruixuan sent them a new book, planning to spend two months explaining the two enlightenment books he learned last year before starting to learn new content.

And these new books were all copied by Fang Ruixuan's enslaved Steward Kong. When Steward Kong was the shopkeeper in his early years, he had practiced good calligraphy. After Fang Ruixuan saw it, he made the best use of it.

In the Fang family, Kong Lixiang was to be both a housekeeper and a treasurer, and he also helped Liu Sheng take care of tenants, pay rent and manage servants. Fang Ruixuan wanted to get new books and reading materials for the students, so he just got a sample and the rest All of them were thrown to Butler Kong, and asked him to copy them.

One person does the work of several people, and occasionally has to run errands for Master Juren to handle things. It is he who ran back to handle the household registration for the old man Zhu and the two of them.According to Butler Kong's contribution, half of the profit of Fang's Braised Meat Shop is used as wages, which is actually not much at all.

Fang Ruixuan was a little complacent, having bought such an all-round labor force with very little value.

But Butler Kong didn't feel wronged by doing more things. He was full of energy every day. Since Fang Ruixuan agreed to help him find someone, the only thing he thought about was to do more work, save a sum of money, and wait until he found his wife and daughter. When it's time, it's good to be prepared.Whether it is to redeem people or arrange their future lives, money is required.

"Master, some big families from several counties have brought some young masters here, saying that they want to enter our school. The housekeeper will entertain them in the main room. Let me call you."

Fang Guang, who had been waiting outside the school for a long time, quickly winked at Fang Ruixuan after he finished his lecture.

Of the four students who came this time, two were transferred from Wang Juren, and two of them were attending classes in other Confucius schools, so they came here just because of their reputation.Fang Ruixuan has a reputation as a person who is fair and fair, and the reputation of treating merchants and students equally has spread. In comparison, those merchants who are willing to make progress all want to come to Fang Ruixuan to study here.

There are actually two or three well-to-do students from Wang Juren who wanted to transfer to the Fang family, but they were either rejected by their parents, or they were going to take part in this year's boy's exam. Very unfavorable.

Among the four, the oldest is 13 years old, and the youngest is eight years old and Shen Huiming is the same age.

Fang Juren, who had solved the livelihood problem, couldn't help feeling a headache when he saw the four plump parents who were as plump as Shen Haihai and the bookish children.

He thought that the targets at the banquet were local literati bullying students, and his indifference to fighting poetry and composition angered them.Later, when Shen Dahai told him that it was because he robbed other people's business, he felt that he was not good.

When he reduced Shuxiu back then, he said that he wanted to repay the Liu Family Village for taking him in. It was all nonsense, but he came up with such an argument because he was afraid that he would not be able to recruit newcomers.

Accepting Huiming and Huiqing was only because they fell in love with each other at first sight, and they really liked them.

In the end, he was regarded as a scheming man who was blind to money and would not hesitate to hurt the enemy a thousand and hurt himself eight hundred in order to rob students.

Fang Ruixuan had the urge to throw all the heavy gifts from the students' parents.

Today, if he accepts these children, he will definitely offend many teachers who teach.If he doesn't accept it, it seems to go against his original intention of running the school.

After all, he came here for fame, which means that he has already started to become famous.

And the first step of becoming famous, if you don't take it well because you are afraid of this and that, how can you talk about the future.

"I accept the person, everyone's kindness, Fang accepts it, please take these things back." Fang Ruixuan said after thinking.

He just inspected the knowledge of the four of them, and they all have a solid foundation. The two older ones are a little bit reluctant in the children's entrance exam this year. They need urgent training, and they may be able to take the exam next year.

"A mere gift is not enough to pay respect, so please accept it with a smile," said the owner of the silk and satin shop surnamed Xia.In his heart he wanted his son to worship Fang Juren as his teacher like the two brothers of the Shen family, so he naturally wanted to please Fang Juren.

Although his family is not as rich as the Shen family, it is still well-known in Baishui County.

Moreover, his son is smart and eager to learn, and his respect for teachers is no worse than that of Shen Huiming.

"Master Juren, don't refuse. This is the etiquette that should be paid for a door-to-door visit. If I take these things back later, what will it look like?"

But this is too expensive!

Xia's family gave Duan inkstone worth a hundred taels, and Mi Xingling's family gave sandalwood Buddhist beads consecrated by eminent monks. God knows how much he wanted to buy them for his wife!

"This is really too precious. If you don't get rewarded for nothing, Fang deserves it."

"Master Juren insists on not accepting it, but he thinks that the gift I waited for is too thin." Seeing Fang Ruixuan's love for Buddhist beads, Boss Ling said deliberately.This time, his old lady paid a lot of money for her grandson.

Boss Ling's mother doted on her grandson very much. Knowing that her grandson was often wronged by Wang Juren, she thought about changing her grandson's school.It's just that Boss Ling is not allowed. After all, if you want to take the imperial examination, it is difficult for Baishui County to have a better-qualified gentleman than Wang Juren, and Wang Juren has taught for ten years and every few years will produce a scholar.

And Mrs. Ling was reluctant to part with her grandson, and she didn't want the child to study in an academy in Fucheng.Boss Ling had no choice but to teach his son to be patient with Wang Juren and study hard.

He also went to the hot pot banquet that day, observing Fang Ruixuan the whole time.After discovering that he loved his apprentices as if they were his own children, he decided to change the teacher for the children.

His actions this time had already offended Wang Juren, so he could only bring Fang Ruixuan's path to the dark.In order to increase her grandson's bargaining chip with Fang Ruixuan, Mrs. Ling gave away the Buddhist bead bracelet that had been cherished for several years.If Fang Ruixuan doesn't accept it, they will always feel uneasy.

"Fang has no such intentions, these children are clever..."

"Master, Husband has been bullied!" Before Fang Ruixuan could finish speaking, Xing'er broke in and asked for help.

"Walk slowly, Mr. Fang will go check it out." Hearing that Liu Sheng was being bullied, Fang Ruixuan couldn't sit still, and didn't care about pursuing Xing'er's lack of discipline.

Who else in Liujia Village is so reckless and dares to bully his wife.

Fang Ruixuan handed over the matter here to Butler Kong with the ears and grains, and the two nurses followed Xing'er away.

Seeing that he was walking towards the inner courtyard, Fang Ruixuan was a little puzzled.He thought Liu Sheng went out to relax and didn't bring anyone to be bullied and blocked, and he was going to take someone to find him back, but looking at the direction Xing'er is leading the way now, is his wife being approached and bullied at his home?

What is Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Cao doing?Fang Ruixuan frowned, a little dissatisfied.

Except for the three apprentices in the inner courtyard, the two nursing courtyards would never let outsiders in.Aunt Gu and Aunt Cao are both upright and middle-aged, with a strong body and great strength. Who can bully their daughter-in-law under their hands.

"Who came to see Fulang today." Fang Ruixuan said to Fang Liang.

"Master, a woman surnamed Liu said she was looking for her husband for something important. I passed the news to Miss Xing'er. After Miss Xing'er told Fu Lang, Fu Lang asked her to be put in."

Fang Ruixuan was thoughtful after listening to Fang Liang's words.
