Slacking Off and Gossiping: The Court Officials Are Not Amused

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.

She then...

Chapter 478 Examination

Three days later, the first group of officials who learned Arabic numerals had basically mastered the addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers, and were able to write 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 didn't explain it clearly, but they did understand.

If it were a child who had just started learning, he would not be able 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 that Jiang Yueyang had made himself.

Jiang Yueyang paced slowly by the side, glancing at their test papers from time to time.

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

The other officials also had their own 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 questions that seem easy are often the easiest to lose points.

Just a moment later, she saw that the Minister of Rites and the Duke of England lost 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, and then walked to Jiang Yueyang's seat and sat down, asking softly: "How have they learned 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. Your Majesty will be able to see their results after they finish the exam."

Emperor Yuan nodded, his eyes inadvertently falling on the test paper on the table. Thinking of how he had been learning Arabic numerals with Kong Jijiu these days, he couldn't help but pick up the pen and start working.

These days, after finishing his classes at Jiang Yueyang, Kong Jijiu 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 paper. [Little melon, did I lose my memory? Didn’t His Majesty not come to class? ]

[You didn't lose your memory. Kong Jijiu taught you.] The system looked at Emperor Yuan with admiration, [The emperor is busy with government affairs and has no time to attend classes. He is also worried that his attendance will affect others.]

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang immediately looked at the people taking the exam. As expected, several people became visibly nervous, especially the academic officials of the Imperial College who didn't often see the emperor.

Not long after, Kong Jijiu and Duke Yingguo 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 already 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 graded the test papers and calculated their scores and rankings.

"In this exam, nine people scored full marks, and the rest scored above 90 points or below full marks. 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, as if they were back in their student days and were criticized by the teacher in class.

Jiang Yueyang took out four test papers from the test papers, "Duke Yingguo, Minister of Rites, Hu Xueguan, and Feng Xueguan, the test scores of the four of you 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 aside other things, 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 lost points because of carelessness.

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

Especially the two school 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 until their heads lowered 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 all saw where they lost points, Jiang Yueyang spoke again: "So, do you think you deserved to lose those points?"

The Duke of England and the Minister of Rites said "No" in response. The two academic officials looked dissatisfied, but still followed suit and said "No" in response.

Jiang Yueyang saw the dissatisfaction on the faces of the two school officials and sneered in his heart, "School official Hu, school official Feng, 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 school officials were indeed dissatisfied in their hearts, but because Emperor Yuan valued Jiang Yueyang, they replied with a hypocritical "No".

Jiang Yueyang curled her lips and snorted, "If you have any objections, just say it. I am not that kind of tyrannical person."

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

"I emphasized this when I was teaching you. When writing down the calculation steps, you must include the plus and minus signs."

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

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

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

Officer Hu pursed his lips, unable to refute.

Jiang Yueyang retracted 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 been replaced by 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 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 have always felt that this saying makes a lot of sense. Therefore, those who did not get full marks in the exam today should copy the test paper 100 times and hand it in to me tomorrow!"

Those who didn’t get full marks immediately looked bitter when they heard this, wailing in their hearts, how can they finish copying 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 test papers, hahahaha...] Jiang Yueyang laughed evilly.

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

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!
