Chapter 256 Is this mathematics?

There was no need for daily relays; Ah Shan heard it himself.

It paused for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed, "That's right! How could I forget? Chaochao, you don't even need to speak. You can just talk to me in your head, and I can hear you."

Chaochao repeated Ashan's words, and Jian Yunsang was speechless.

She knew that Ashan was definitely a novice, and Chaochao was absolutely its first host.

Jian Yunsang let out a breath, "Alright, then you can communicate in your minds."

After giving his instructions, Jian Yunsang led Chaochao back to the classroom to continue proctoring the exam.

Chaochao was clearly in a much better mood. She remained in her original seat, her gaze still fixed on the book, but her mind was elsewhere, happily chatting with Ashan.

In this way, even the people of Daqi could not hear what they were saying.

Emperor Jingxuan was disappointed. He had been eagerly hoping that Ashan would wake up, but now that it had, he could see and hear even less.

Just as I was thinking about it, I noticed some movement in the classroom. Some students had already finished their test papers, checked them, and were handing them in.

Emperor Jingxuan couldn't help but peek over again, but still couldn't see what the questions on the exam paper looked like.

After collecting the exam papers, Jian Yunsang began grading them on the spot as soon as the students left.

She worked quickly, and by the time the next person came to hand in their paper, she had already finished grading them all.

She handed in quite a few more later on. Jian Yunsang didn't show any expression on her face, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Several students who were good at math two years ago have now seen their grades decline. No, it should be said that their overall math scores have fallen short of her expectations.

It seems that Teacher Cao is only focused on figuring out how to accept gifts, isn't she?

When the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class, more than half of the students were still sitting in their seats, either doing a final check, not having finished answering all the questions, or hesitating.

Jian Yunsang stood up. "Alright, hand in your papers."

After all the test papers were collected, sighs and groans soon filled the classroom.

"I still have two big questions to answer."

"This is so difficult, Ms. Jian. Did you really only change a few data points, or did you change a lot of major questions?"

Jian Yunsang gathered the test papers and smiled, "I was dragged here by the principal at the last minute, how could I have time to correct the big questions? Okay, the exam is over, I'll correct all the papers and then we'll review them together."

She called to Chaochao, "Let's go, the older brothers and sisters need to rest for a while before their next class."

Chaochao followed her out of the classroom and asked curiously, "When is the next class?"

"They started class in ten minutes."

Chaochao exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?"

However, the scholars of Daqi under the sky were extremely envious. They could actually rest, and during their rest time they could move around freely without teachers to restrain or manage them. Did they really study seriously?

Their class just now didn't even last half an hour, did it? Poor Daqi classroom, the teacher lectures for one or two hours at a time, and you have to report to the teacher even if you want to go to the toilet, let alone walk around.

Not only them, but even Emperor Jingxuan was eager to try it.

From the moment the school bell rang, he made sure everyone kept track of the time, so that by the time the bell rang for the end of get out of class, it was only a short 45 minutes.

Moreover, there is a ten-minute break after each class. These students sit or stand haphazardly, but they all look very relaxed.

One minister couldn’t help but step forward and said, “Your Majesty, I think that the class schedule arranged in this way in later generations seems more reasonable. Studying should be a combination of work and rest. Otherwise, it is easy to get tired and sleepy in the second half of the class, and the ability to absorb knowledge will be twice as difficult and half as effective.”

Please, please change Daqi's study schedule. His son comes home from school every day complaining, refusing to go to class, and is extremely averse to learning.

This time, Emperor Jingxuan nodded without hesitation. After all, when he was still a prince, his legs went numb from studying for too long, and he fell down when he stood up, which made others laugh and became a shadow over him for a long time.

“Alright, then let’s follow the schedule from the future. After years of experimentation, the future will surely have found the most suitable time for learning.”

The other ministers, "..."

So... that's the decision?

After finishing this matter, Emperor Jingxuan looked up at the sky again with a pleasant mood.

Jian Yunsang has returned to her office. She plans to finish grading the remaining test papers before going back.

Chaochao chatted with Ashan for a while, then sat quietly to the side drinking water. She didn't disturb Jian Yunsang, but still curiously went over to take a look.

Upon looking at it, the people of Daqi naturally saw the contents of the exam paper.

The scholars, in particular, crowded forward, and then one by one they began to frown.

"This is... mathematics?"

"I can't understand it at all."

"Aren't they our descendants? Could it be that they have completely abandoned our scholarship?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and even Emperor Jingxuan frowned.

Suddenly, he thought of Ah Shan, and quickly coughed lightly, calling to it, "Ah Shan, Ah Shan, could Miss Jian tell us about this mathematics, and whether it is completely unrelated to ancient mathematics?"

A-Shan conveyed his meaning. Jian Yunsang was taken aback upon hearing this and put away the test paper she had just finished correcting.

She didn't try to hide anything about this.

Since no one was in the office, she spoke to Chaochao as if explaining, "Of course it's relevant. Ancient mathematics was actually quite advanced. For example, the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art existed as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty. It's just a pity that only a few scholars studied this subject in ancient times. Most people had a dismissive attitude towards arithmetic, which led to the loss of much knowledge and stagnation in theoretical development. But actually, the equations, geometric arithmetic, and multiplication tables we learn now all existed very early on and are still the foundation of mathematics today. As for why the people of Daqi couldn't understand it, it's probably because the symbols were replaced."

Speaking of this, Jian Yunsang still harbored some resentment. If the Great Qi Dynasty were like the Ming Dynasty, with its examinations based on the eight-legged essay, it would be truly terrible.

She sighed, "Because our ancestors regarded mathematics as a minor skill, more and more scholars abandoned this hobby and could only be trapped in the framework, following the crowd to write articles and take the imperial examinations. As a result, mathematics has become less and less groundbreaking. Later, Western countries began to develop, and they valued mathematics. They were the first to embed mathematical formulas with their own symbols. If we wanted to learn more about mathematics, we could only use their formulas and symbols to calculate. Nowadays, mathematics has become a major subject in our studies, but many students who have been learning it since elementary school do not know what the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art is."

The people of the Great Qi Dynasty were all stunned.

The author will be quite busy in June, so updates will be very, very, very irregular. I apologize for that.
