Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Three days later, the first group of officials who learned Arabic numerals had basically mastered the addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers, and could also write out numbers within ten thousand according to the counting rules of Arabic numerals.

Jiang Yueyang is very satisfied with her teaching results and is also very satisfied with the first batch of students learning Arabic numerals.

They are all smart and studious students. Many times she felt that she did not explain it clearly, but they did understand.

If it were a child who had just started learning, it would be impossible for him to learn to this level in just a few days.

In the garden of the second hall of the Supervisory Office, Kong Jijiu and his colleagues were taking an exam. The test paper was some addition and subtraction problems that Jiang Yueyang had made himself.

Jiang Yueyang paced slowly by the side, his eyes occasionally scanning their test papers.

Kong Jijiu was seen writing quickly with the pen in his hand. It was obvious that those questions were not difficult for him.

The other officials also had different expressions. Some were full of confidence and wrote as if inspired by God.

Some looked troubled and stared at the questions, thinking hard.

The questions Jiang Yueyang asked were not difficult except for the last big question, but the seemingly easy questions are often the easiest to lose points on.

Just a moment later, she saw the Minister of Rites and the Duke of England losing points where they shouldn't have.

When the exam was halfway through, Emperor Yuan arrived. Everyone stopped writing and stood up to pay their respects.

Emperor Yuan waved his hand, signaling them to continue the exam. He then walked over to Jiang Yueyang's seat and sat down, asking softly, "How have they been doing with Arabic numerals these days?"

Jiang Yueyang smiled and replied, "They have all learned very well and can now use addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers with ease. Once they finish their exams, Your Majesty will be able to see their results."

Emperor Yuan nodded, his eyes casually falling on the test paper on the table. Remembering that he had also been studying Arabic numerals with Confucius, he couldn't help but pick up his pen and began to work.

These days, after Kong Jijiu finishes his classes at Jiang Yueyang, he has to go to the palace to teach Emperor Yuan in the evening.

Jiang Yueyang was slightly surprised when she saw Emperor Yuan doing the test. "Little melon, have I lost my memory? Didn't His Majesty miss class?"

"You haven't lost your memory. Kong Jijiu taught you that." The system looked at Emperor Yuan with admiration. "The Emperor is busy with government affairs and doesn't have time to attend classes. He's also worried that his attendance would affect others."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueyang immediately looked towards the people taking the exam. As expected, several of them were visibly nervous, especially the Imperial College officials who rarely saw the emperor.

Not long after, Kong Jijiu and Duke Ying were the first to put down their pens and stopped answering.

Seeing this, Jiang Yueyang said, "The exam time is not over yet. Those who have finished their papers can check them a few more times."

After hearing what she said, those who had finished answering the papers did not become complacent, but checked their papers obediently.

The exam was over after Emperor Yuan finished answering the paper and checked it again.

Jiang Yueyang quickly corrected the test papers and calculated their scores and rankings.

"Nine people scored full marks in this exam, and the rest scored above 90, but below. Everyone's results are very good and deserve praise, but..." Jiang Yueyang's eyes changed, and she glanced at everyone with a serious expression, "But I want to criticize a few people in particular."

Everyone was startled when they heard this, and it was as if they were back in their student days and were criticized by the teacher in class.

Jiang Yueyang pulled out four test papers from the pile. "Duke Yingguo, Minister of Rites, Hu Xueguan, and Feng Xueguan, your test scores are 96, 94, 90, and 92 respectively. Are you satisfied with these results?"

The four of them remained silent.

Jiang Yueyang didn't force them to answer, and continued, "Putting everything else aside, just looking at the results, I think it's pretty good.

But what makes me unhappy is that you could have gotten full marks, but you lost points because of carelessness.

I reminded you during the exam that even after you finished answering the paper, you should check it carefully several times.

Especially the two academic officials, you are engaged in teaching and educating people, how can you teach students if you are so careless? "

The four of them were scolded by Jiang Yueyang so much that they lowered their heads lower and lower, their faces full of shame.

Especially the two academic officials of the Imperial College, they secretly glanced at Emperor Yuan, fearing that they would leave a bad impression on him.

Jiang Yueyang walked over and handed the four test papers in his hand to them respectively. The four of them immediately checked where they had made mistakes.

Seeing that they had all seen where they had lost points, Jiang Yueyang spoke again: "So, do you think you deserved to lose those points?"

Duke Yingguo and the Minister of Rites said "No". The two scholars showed dissatisfaction on their faces, but still followed suit and said "No".

Jiang Yueyang saw the discontent on the two officers' faces and sneered in her heart, "Officer Hu, Officer Feng, do you seem dissatisfied?"

Following her words, Emperor Yuan looked at the two academic officials from the Imperial College, and the others also cast their eyes over.

The two academic officials were indeed dissatisfied in their hearts, but because Emperor Yuan valued Jiang Yueyang, they replied "No" with a hypocritical tone.

Jiang Yueyang curled her lips and chuckled, "If you have any objections, just say it. I'm not that kind of bossy person."

Officer Hu gritted his teeth and pointed to a mistake on the test paper. "My answer to this question is correct. I just omitted a + sign in the calculation step. I think... no points should be deducted."

"I emphasized this when I was teaching you: be sure to include the plus and minus signs when writing calculation steps."

"But isn't the result important?" Hu Xueguan retorted.

Jiang Yueyang stared at him with deep eyes, "You came here to learn Arabic numerals mainly to use Arabic numerals for accounting.

These + and - signs are like income and expenditure. If you don't write them down, how can I know whether these numbers are income or expenditure?"

Hu Xueguan pursed his lips, unable to refute.

Jiang Yueyang withdrew her gaze from Hu Xueguan, glanced at everyone and said, "So what if the answer is right? If the process is wrong, the accounts will still be a mess.

If you had a stricter teacher, you wouldn't have gotten any points for the questions you got wrong."

As her voice fell, everyone stood up and bowed, saying, "We will definitely be more careful in the future!"

Jiang Yueyang said in a deep voice, "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. I've always thought this saying makes a lot of sense. So, those who didn't get full marks on today's exam, please copy the test paper 100 times and hand it in to me tomorrow!"

When those who didn’t get full marks heard this, they immediately looked bitter and wailed in their hearts, how could they finish copying it after copying it a hundred times?

Emperor Yuan secretly felt lucky that he did not attend Jiang Yueyang's class.

Just as he was secretly rejoicing, Jiang Yueyang turned his head and looked at him with a faint smile, "Your Majesty, since you are also participating in the exam, you must set a good example for everyone! A hundred times, not once less."

Emperor Yuan: “…”

[Finally, I have the chance to let them feel the fear of copying the test paper, hahahaha...] Jiang Yueyang laughed evilly.

She has been looking forward to this day ever since she started teaching Kong Jijiu and others.

System: [Host, you are so bad. ]

The next day, Jiang Yueyang, General Zhenguo and others waited outside the city on horseback, watching the army approaching in the distance.

The army returned triumphantly!
