Chen Mazi sighed, "Forget it, it's useless even if we're qualified. Can you even read?"

Everyone shook their heads.

These people quickly calmed down, realizing that jobs that are both cheap and profitable are truly difficult to find.

Back then, they said, "We're just peasants, we can't take the imperial examinations, why bother with all that nonsense?"

Instead of wasting time, you might as well make a couple more bamboo pens to earn money.

At most, they could only do fifty a day, their backs and necks aching, for which they only earned fifty coins. That's just a little over one tael of silver a month, and even with rest, they wouldn't earn that much.

But look at other people now, sitting comfortably in their rooms, earning ten taels of silver a month, and that will only increase in the future.

Lin Jinyue also said that there are twelve days off every month.

They're so sour they're sick of it.

Lin Shucheng helped Lin Jinyue grade the test papers. These questions weren't difficult; in modern times, even a junior high school student could solve them.

But this is ancient times, and people here have a low level of education.

I learned it all by taking a break from work and stealing some time from my busy schedule.

A test paper with a score of 100 points has 50 participants, and only 8 people can pass.

They were mostly just barely touching the line, around 61 or 62 points.

Lin Jinyue saw a test paper, and wow, it had a score of seventy-five!

Looking at the name again, it was the exam paper of Jiang Zuo, the third son of Jiang Shou.

Jiang Zuo is only twenty years old this year and has just gotten married. Her two older brothers help Lin Jinyue with chores and are already her right-hand men.

People in Jiangzuo usually herd sheep.

Lin Jinyue saw him lying on the grass reading a book several times, and sometimes he would write and draw on the ground with a stick.

He hasn't been here long, yet he's been able to answer so many questions correctly.

At this moment, Lin Shucheng said, "Hey, here's a perfect score test paper... Who is Lin Yuan? Is there such a person in our village?"

Lin Jinyue was also taken aback; one of the questions here was an Olympiad math problem.

Let alone adults who are too busy to learn, even those in schools might not be able to do it.

Lin Jinyue asked again, "Who is Lin Yuan...?"

Is this chicken-scrambled character the character for "far"?

She saw a person with their head down.

Just as I was about to ask, I saw Lin Fugui rush over.

Lin Fugui cursed, "The teacher said you skipped school again! Look at you! You even put on a fake beard to pretend to be an adult for the exam!"

Lin Gou Dan weakly raised his hand, "Lin Yuan is a name I just wrote down. It's just that... I don't want to study those classical Chinese phrases. I just want to be an accountant and do accounting every day..."

Lin Gou Dan was almost in tears: "Er Ya, am I not your best brother? Look how much older I look from worry. I really don't want to memorize my lessons, I can't do it..."

Lin Jinyue glanced at him. "Did you come up with all of this yourself? Did you do this question before?"

Lin Gou Dan honestly shook his head: "I've never done it."

Lin Jinyue thought about it and realized that since she had already transmigrated, her teaching should be well-rounded and she couldn't just focus on humanities.

Moreover, she wants to make some complex things in the future, like the blueprints for that juicer, where the dimensions of many parts can be calculated.

However, Lin Jinyue didn't remember all the formulas, and the small parts were too complicated, so Li the blacksmith had to try them out one by one.

This is just a simple juicer.

There will be even more areas to calculate later, including accounting, construction, and more.

Although she may not need it now.

But if we wait until we need to train these kinds of talents, it will be too late.

Lin Jinyue thought that perhaps she could try offering more courses, with everyone required to learn the basics and able to choose the more advanced ones.

Lin Jinyue's study contains many relevant books. She has never lost any of her teaching materials, and they can also be exchanged in the system shop, but it depends on luck.

If there were such a person who could become self-taught...

She thought Lin Gou Dan was quite talented in math.

As far as I remember, Lin Gou Dan was the best at math in the school; he could basically solve all the math Olympiad problems correctly.

Lin Gou Dan felt a chill run down his spine under her gaze, and said weakly, "Er Ya, you, you can't look at me like that. If it's not right, then, then forget it..."

Lin Jinyue was amused by his cowardly appearance.

Lin Jinyue said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? I was thinking that since we're dividing the subjects, we need a math teacher, and I think Brother Gou Dan would be a good fit."

Lin Gou Dan was taken aback. "Me, the teacher?"

Lin Jinyue nodded.

Lin Gou Dan was stunned again: "I can sit on equal footing with Old Tan?"

Ouch!

Lin Gou Dan got slapped on the head by his father.

That poor kid.

Lin Fugui felt that his son was still too young, so Old Tan, who had come to watch the commotion, spoke up, "I think Lin Gou Dan is very good at math."

Mr. Tan was a little embarrassed and said jokingly, "Sometimes the problems Yueyue gives me are solved with Gou Dan's help, otherwise I would embarrass myself in front of these kids."

Lin Jinyue then said, "Then let's arrange it like this, but Brother Gou Dan, you still need to study culture every day."

Lin Gou Dan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "As long as I don't have to memorize it all day long, that's fine."

At this moment, Lin Shucheng couldn't help but speak up, "Oh no, daughter, don't you think the name Lin Gou Dan... doesn't sound like a teacher's name?"

Lin Jinyue remained silent.

Oh dear, she's almost been assimilated.

If you keep chanting it every day, it will eventually become natural.

Lin Shucheng whispered, "What if Gou Dan really masters it? Future historical records will say: Mathematician Lin Gou Dan..."

Lin Jinyue thought about the scene and almost burst out laughing.

Old Tan, who was originally a rather serious old man, also laughed happily along with them.
