The last question of the monthly exam was indeed poisonous. Of course, Sun Zifan was not the only one who was poisoned. Everyone was dumbfounded, and eighty percent of the students got at least two answers.
On the podium, Li Zexuan took a deep breath and shook his wrist. In half a day's time, he had actually written a full twenty chapters. He couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. It was good to have martial arts! If one were to make a quantitative analysis of everyone's attributes, an ordinary person's Dexterity would be around five to six. Li Zexuan's Dexterity could reach thirty. Of course, writing novels would be much faster.
"Hey, look at them scratching their heads and frowning. Could it be that they have already reached the last question?"
Li Zexuan looked up at the students' current situation. After thinking for a while, he immediately understood the reason. He laughed in his heart.
This last question was a second-grade math problem in the modern era. However, it was not to be underestimated. It was said that even if it was done by adults, nine out of ten people would get it wrong. Basically, the wrong answers were also varied and varied.
Meng Wenhao was the most miserable because he had given five different answers to this question — 1760 copper, 1970 copper, 2000 copper, 970 copper, and 1000 copper. However, after careful consideration, he had already eliminated the first three answers.
"This question was deliberately set up by the teacher. You have to find another way to get the correct answer clearly and methodically. You can use the most basic relationship to analyze how much money Boss Wang lost in the end. First, I will analyze Boss Wang and his neighbor. Boss Wang first gave the neighbor a fake golden bean in exchange for a thousand copper coins. The value of the fake golden bean was zero, so Boss Wang made a profit of a thousand copper coins from the neighbor. Later, the neighbor found out that the golden bean was fake, so Boss Wang compensated the neighbor with a real golden bean. Now, Boss Wang paid a thousand copper coins. In addition to the thousand copper coins he made before, Boss Wang did not lose any money from the neighbor. Then, he was only left with the money he lost from the young man! "
"Then, between Boss Wang and the young man, Boss Wang gave the young man the change and lost seven hundred and ninety copper coins. After selling the gift, Boss Wang lost one hundred and eighty copper coins. So, the question is, after selling the gift, did he lose one hundred and eighty copper coins or two hundred and ten copper coins? After all, if this transaction was a normal transaction, Boss Wang could earn thirty copper coins! This was originally Boss Wang's labor. Now that it was gone, should it be counted as a loss? If that's included, then Boss Wang has lost a thousand copper coins! "
Meng Wenhao was struggling fiercely in his mind. He hesitated and hesitated. Finally, when he saw that time was almost up, he gritted his teeth and did something that left everyone dumbfounded …
.....
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The bell and drum signaling the end of the Imperial College finally rang, signifying the end of the monthly examination.
"Stop writing! Stop writing! Everyone stop writing! The last student in each row, please stand up and collect your papers! "
Li Zexuan stood up and shouted. All the students, whether they were done or not, put down their pens. There was no other way. They didn't want to be caught with a zero score because of this! If that was really the case, he would definitely suffer when he returned home.
After a while, Li Zexuan checked the test papers and nodded with satisfaction. "Done! Class was over! Ah, no, it's a holiday! Also, pray that you don't end up in the last five! I have already asked the craftsmen to prepare the honor roll and shame roll. They will be erected in front of the School of Mathematics in two days! I wish everyone a happy holiday! Haha! "
The students were originally prepared to cheer when they heard that it was a holiday. However, the second half of Li Zexuan's sentence made everyone wilt.
"Damn, since you said that, how am I supposed to spend my holiday? Happy holiday? Happy my ass! "
Cheng Chumo rolled his eyes and complained in his heart. This guy had been hanging out with Li Zexuan for the longest time. He had learned a lot of the modern words that Li Zexuan often said and could use them well.
Cheng Chumo's grades were not good, but he was a fast learner!
"Ah!! Sir, how can you do this!! "
"Yeah, how am I supposed to spend my holiday!!"
"Damn, it's over. I just checked the answers with Meng Wenhao. Only 40% of the answers are the same!! Damn, damn, damn, if I end up in the shame roll, I will be skinned alive by my old man when I return home! "
"Hahaha! Wang Meng, good job! Now that you said that, I feel a little more confident! "
"Bullshit! Sun Zifan, how good do you think you will be? You might not even score as high as me! "
.....
Li Zexuan smiled and did not bother about this bunch of cute idiots. He carried the test papers and got into the carriage to go home.
He was actually very happy. He had just finished his confinement period and returned to the Imperial College to "work for half a day". Then, he would be able to enjoy the wonderful weekend break. Life was still pretty good! Most importantly, now that he had a telegraph machine, he could chat with pretty girls anytime. He would not be bored anymore.
After lunch, Li Zexuan was about to start marking the test papers. After all, he did not like to drag things out until the end. At this moment, a servant came to report that Ma Zhou had arrived.
Li Zexuan hurried to the main hall in the front yard.
"Haha, Lord Jue!"
Ma Zhou, who was sitting on a chair, stood up and cupped his hands in greeting.
It was worth mentioning that Li Zexuan could not stand the stools at home. At first, he only made himself a reclining chair. Later on, he simply asked the craftsmen to replace all the benches at home with chairs with backs.
"Brother Ma, why are you here? Haha, take a seat, take a seat, don't stand on ceremony! "
Li Zexuan laughed and sat beside Ma Zhou.
Ma Zhou obeyed and sat down. He replied, "Lord Jue, I am here today for three matters. First, the shopkeeper of Chang 'an's number one bookstore, Ming De Bookstore, has sent someone to contact us. He said that he wants us to give them a batch of goods to sell on his behalf."
Li Zexuan nodded. "Didn't I mention this before? If they are willing to cooperate with us, they can do so if the conditions permit. Brother Ma, you can decide for yourself."
Ma Zhou shook his head. "Lord Jue, this bookstore is different. Ming De Bookstore's quantity is larger. Moreover, this bookstore's background is not small. Their shopkeeper came with a letter from the current Minister of the Ministry of Appointments. A few days ago, they came a few times. However, at that time, I saw that Lord Jue was in seclusion researching new things, so I sent them away. I did not expect them to come again today. This is a serious matter. I do not dare to act on my own. I am here to ask for Lord Jue's opinion! "
"Zhangsun Wuji?"
Li Zexuan frowned deeply. When he went to the imperial court for the first time, Zhangsun Wuji spoke up for him. He still remembered this incident. Logically speaking, he should have a good impression of Zhangsun Wuji. However, he did not. This was because from some history books, novels, and television dramas, Zhangsun Wuji was a scheming old fox. He was not easy to get along with!
"Give it to them! Satisfy them as much as possible! I owed Zhangsun Wuji a favor last time. This time, I will return it all. However, Brother Ma, you have to tell them that even if the price of the books they purchase from us is slightly more expensive than our Qi Qu Culture, it will only be 10% more expensive than our books! Otherwise, we will not cooperate with them in the future! "
Li Zexuan thought for a while and said to Ma Zhou.
"Yes, Lord Jue!"
Ma Zhou nodded in satisfaction. Li Zexuan was very considerate. He also heaved a sigh of relief.
