The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 158 Principal Fang's Night Patrol (Part ) Punishment
Fang Yu came into contact with many scholars here, and he had long discovered a strange phenomenon.

The less famous and the less able people are to read the books of sages, the more they like to talk about trivial things. They always mention the teachings of sages. On the contrary, people like Sun Chuanting, Yang Wenyue, Min Wengong and Empress Zhang speak very realistically - three out of the four of them were Jinshi graduates (Sun Chuanting and Yang Wenyue were Jinshi graduates in the same list), and Empress Zhang, as a student of Ye Xianggao, Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion and Chief Minister of the Cabinet, was also very knowledgeable.

The principal's office has received dozens of suggestions.

They were all written by teachers in the school, that is, scholars and students. They wrote earnestly and heartfeltly in the letters, asking Fang Yu to allow him to teach "The Meaning of the Sages" in the school. Among them, Mr. Wang wrote three.

Fang Yuren had already appeared at the door, but the people inside were unaware.

They were noisily surrounding Mr. Wang, the old student. In order to reduce his homework, they did not care that the class had ended outside, and no one turned back to look at the door.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Fang Yu glanced at A Xiu.

Ah Xiu was very aware of being a lackey, and immediately became very excited and shouted loudly: "Principal Fang is here, Principal Fang is here..."

When the people inside suddenly heard the "bad news", all the noise stopped abruptly.

They turned back hurriedly and saw the young master holding Ah Xiu standing at the door. The young master's face was gloomy and he seemed very unhappy. Ah Xiu was just the opposite. She laughed so hard that her eyes could not be seen.

Now no one dared to surround Wang Lao Tongsheng anymore. They walked down the "stage" angrily and sat down in their "seats". They were very careful not to make any unnecessary noise. The bravery and indignation they had previously surrounded Wang Lao Tongsheng were all gone - at this time they didn't know that Wang Lao Tongsheng was actually playing a fishing game. He had clearly seen Fang Yu and could get away by just shouting "Principal Fang is here".

Fang Yu entered the classroom and walked up to the podium.

He first looked at the people below and was silent for fifteen seconds... Seeing that they all had uneasy expressions, he began to speak.

"I heard that apprentices in the county workshops have to spend three years trying to please their masters before they can learn. Only after the masters see their sincerity can they really learn. Respecting teachers and valuing education is the premise of all teaching. So these four words are written on the school wall and on the cover of your homework books so that you can see them all the time and be reminded all the time. But how do you treat Teacher Wang?"

The classroom was incredibly quiet, so the sound of Mr. Wang fluttering his clothes was particularly obvious. After tidying up his clothes, he began to tidy up his hair, as if he had just been beaten up by a group of students.

The students below could only endure his "slander" silently, and no one dared to say a word.

Fang Yu knew that Mr. Wang was putting on an act, and he also knew that it was time for the get out of class to end, but he still had to stand up and punish the student to protect Mr. Wang's dignity. If the students in a class no longer feared their teacher, then the class would be completely ruined in terms of both discipline and learning.

"In order to reduce their homework, the sixth class of the night school abused Teacher Wang with words and imposed a blockade, which violated Teacher Wang's personal wishes. This behavior is rude and bad, and has a very bad influence. The entire class of six will be given a serious demerit, and a black and white plaque will be hung at the door for one week (indicating the worst class | department | dormitory | family). The entire class of six will be fined half a month's labor wages, and the class monitor will count and pay the full amount, and it will be delivered tomorrow..."

Old Student Wang felt his spirits lifted and his eyes lit up.

He is the victim, so who else can the confiscated money be given to if not him?

“Send it to the foundation at the (new) city gate, in the name of a donation to the school.”

Fang Yu looked down at the audience. The people didn't care much about the demerit (expulsion from school was also acceptable), but when they heard about the salary deduction, they all showed a painful expression. Half a month's salary was not a small amount. Their salary was five cents higher than that of the county's temporary workers. Two cents a day, half a month was three taels of silver. Three taels of silver was enough for a family of five in the county to eat well for a month (of course not white rice), and also to go to Lichunyuan with their wallets tight. In the end, it was just lost in vain. Alas, it was really not worth it.

They felt pain in their hearts but dared not utter a word of dissatisfaction. Only one person opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

Fang Yu frowned and said to the man, "Chen Agui, if you have any opinions, stand up and speak!"

Chen Agui didn't actually want to speak, it was just that his mouth was a little big and a little crooked, and he couldn't close it.

He quickly stood up and tried to explain, but the young master didn't give him a chance, "Don't say you don't have any opinions, I know you have some thoughts in your mind."

Chen Agui's words were retorted, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and give his suggestions.

"Um... Sir, can you not fine us? If you are unhappy, can you beat us with a stick?"

These people had crawled out of a pile of starving people, and they attached great importance to food and silver. If they could get back the three taels of silver by being beaten with a stick, they would be very willing to do it.

You can tell from the expectant expressions on the faces of the other students in the class after they heard what Chen Agui said.

Fang Yu thought about it and felt that Chen Agui had made a good suggestion. After all, he came from later times and had forgotten that in ancient times, the first punishment for people who made mistakes was beating with a stick.

Spanking with a stick is very painful, but it can make a deeper impression, so he quickly nodded and said, "Okay, then add another punishment. Tomorrow you will all go to the security team's training ground and each of you will receive ten sticks."

Append?

No no no, I meant replacement!!

Chen Agui was in tears; not only did he not get his money back, but he was also beaten with ten more boards for no reason. He heard that the boards that Li Shun made for the security team were particularly painful.

Fang Yu asked him again: "Chen Agui, if you have any other opinions, you can speak up."

Chen Agui felt that many eyes were focused on him, some were complaining, some were nervous (you bastard, watch your words! Don't hurt us), Chen Agui couldn't care less, as the saying goes, it's better to let my friend die than to let me die, he wanted to get himself out of this situation first.

"Sir, we did something wrong, and you should punish us. But since you are new here, you may not know that according to the (mortal) custom, we cadres have some preferential treatment, such as the punishment of a board or silver... Can you reduce one of them?"

He also added: "I am the fire committee member of Class 6."

Like school, night school has four student leaders in a class, namely the class monitor, the study committee member, the discipline committee member, and the fire committee member - there are many candles lit in the classroom, so of course there must be a fire committee member. The fire committee member's duty is to bring two buckets of water before class, guard the buckets during class, and always pay attention to fire hazards.
