This year's Confucius is as ordinary as before. No! It can be described as obscurity.

Because he didn't curry favor with him, he also enforced the law impartially, which angered Ji Pingzi and others, and was "laid off". Ostensibly "paid leave". In fact, it is a "lifelong non-use system".

Seeing this, Lu Zhaogong had no choice but to recruit him under his command and manage animal husbandry for his family. In modern language, it is a "cowherd".

It's a cowherd, not a cowherd.

No! It should be a herd cowherd, which is equivalent to Sun Wukong's "Bi Ma Wen".

There is no way! In order to establish a private school and receive a salary to support his family, he had to endure it. Anyway! This official position is also very leisurely, "9 to 5", go to the work unit to have a look, assign tasks, check the work, make a report and then go home.

The career is not smooth, but in the establishment of private schools, it has accumulated a certain reputation.

The first batch of students of the "Confucius Kindergarten" has entered the "Kindergarten Class". A Mao and a few other older students, Confucius directly transferred them out and entered the "first grade" to receive formal education.

Other than that! Every year, we can recruit a few new students.

Anyway! At this time, almost all the school-age children in the village came to Confucius's house to go to school.

Other than that! Wealthy families in neighboring villages also sent their babies over. Due to some of the journeys, families who generally do not have cars and servants cannot afford to go to this school. Although Confucius's tuition fees were very low, the cost of "accompanying students" was too high. So! There are not many students in the neighboring villages.

When Fang Jishi returned, the number of students in the Confucius family had reached nearly thirty. When he left, there were only fifteen students.

Confucius's teaching method was exactly what he envisioned: he only disciplined Ah Mao and others. And then! The students in the lower grades were all handed over to the two concubines of the Qi Guan clan and Fang Jishi. Furthermore! Ah Mao can also be a "substitute teacher" to help students with their homework.

The kindergarten curriculum is like that, teaching children to read and write, and then playing, and learning new knowledge imperceptibly in play.

In order to facilitate Fang Zhong and Fang Shu to go to school, the two concubines moved out of the Lu Palace.

Of course! The home in the Lu Palace was not lost, and the two often took Fang Zhong and Fang Shu back. After all! They used to be the maids of Duke Lu.

In order to prove it to Ji Pingzi and others, Lu Zhaogong often took Fang Zhong and Fang Shu to the Lu Palace, so that they could be entertained, proving that his relationship with the great god Fang Jishi was just. Such! can deter Ji Pingzi and the others, and dare not do anything to him.

The two concubines took advantage of their relationship with the student's parents to buy a courtyard in the village, which was larger than Confucius's house. On the side of Confucius's house, because Kong Carp is still young, it can't be too noisy. So! moved the kindergarten to Fang Jishi's house. On the side of Confucius's family, there are only a few "college students" left such as Ah Mao and other already sensible "college students".

Historical records do not record the process before Confucius set up a private school, but only speculate that Confucius founded a private school around the age of 525 BC, the seventeenth year of Lu Zhaogong, and Confucius was 27 years old.

Not really! Since Confucius returned from the Song Dynasty's marriage to Qi Guan, he opened a private school.

It's just that because of its small size, it didn't go unnoticed.

Furthermore! Confucius became a petty official in the Lu Palace.

Since he said goodbye to the past and stopped blowing the trumpet for others, his life has entered a period of emptiness. There is no source of income and no new job.

This period of emptiness was the greatest test for Confucius.

In the face of the test of survival, his mind has become more determined and mature.

It is also possible that because the kindergarten was moved to Fang Jishi's house, there were few "college students" in Confucius's family, so it did not attract the attention of the outside world.

Anyway! Since Confucius founded the kindergarten, he has officially opened a private school.

Maybe? Historians have based on the record that Confucius recruited disciples who later became famous, and believe that it was Confucius who officially opened a private school at that time.

Confucius did not stipulate exactly how much to charge students, but! The actual return is also quite good. In gratitude to Confucius, the parents of the students were willing to share their food.

In particular, the hunter was very righteous, and every time he caught a large animal, he had to share the rest of the sale to Confucius's family. Outcome! Although he did not pay the official tuition, he paid more than anyone else.

Of course! There are exceptions! Those who like to take advantage unconsciously, still take advantage. They were sloppy and compared Confucius and others to fools. If others say that he is unconscious, he is still anxious with you.

But! In order to appease the people's anger, they still have to pay some "tuition" to some extent.

It's just that! Every time I pay the tuition, I have to make a big fanfare, for fear that the people around me will not know.

Confucius doesn't care, I will collect the "tuition" you send, this is my duty. If you don't send it, I won't ask for it. For teaching, we treat everyone equally, and we will never treat the baby because the baby's parents did not pay the tuition.

How I should teach me or how to teach, it's up to you whether you learn or not.

Qi Guan's worries at the beginning, but she had nothing to say in the face of reality. The family has more than 20 students, and the tuition fees paid are enough for their family to live. Other than that! The income obtained by Confucius as a commissioner and Tian Cheng's official position is all surplus.

So! The life of the family is still very rich. Therefore! It has not been mentioned again that the specific tuition fees for students will be charged.

Other than that! The Qiguan clan bought a piece of land in the village with Confucius's money and previous savings, plus money "borrowed" from Fang Jishi's two concubines. In her spare time, she took Ah Mao and others to work in the fields.

Confucius rebelled against Qi Guanshi to do this, but the opposition was invalid, and he acquiesced. Let's teach! Rural babies, learning to farm is also the right place.

Anyway! He doesn't go to work in the fields. He was a soldier and could not do farm work.

The status of a scholar is not allowed to do farm work.

Exactly because of this! He decided not to do Confucianism anymore.

And if he doesn't insist? If he had been a Confucian scholar, his life would have been equally rich. His income as a Confucian scholar and blowing the trumpet for others' funerals is also quite rich.

But! He just didn't want to do it anymore.

Because! He's a taxi!

That's why! Later history recorded: Confucius did not distinguish between grains. Of course! Maybe it's an exaggeration. But! He couldn't tell the difference between leeks and wheat that had just grown.

Because! He's a taxi!

In this hierarchical society, you are in this hierarchy, and you have to engage in this hierarchical career. Just like in modern society, if you are a college student, even if you are a college student from a third-rate university or technical school, you cannot engage in the profession of a migrant worker and go to a construction site to move bricks. Otherwise! You will encounter other people's jokes and ridicule, and be looked down upon.

When Fang Jishi returned to Lu, he did not go directly to his "home", the village of Confucius's family. But! met with Lu Zhaogong in a high-profile manner.

After the smooth transition of power on the Jin side, Jin Zhaogong was very effective and managed very well, and it didn't matter if he wanted him or not. He also accepted it when he saw it, and said goodbye to Jin Zhaogong, so as not to shock the lord with high merit. Or! Encounter the suspicion of others.
