Chapter 314 Self-certification
At the podium, Ji Qingqing stood up in disbelief.
She screamed, "No way, there must be something wrong with you, how could she get such a high score?"
She raised this question not without reason.
In all the previous Canglang Poetry Talks, there were only a handful of people who got full marks, no more than five at most.
And all those examinees were among the top students in the academy or the Imperial College.
Basically, as long as someone mentions it, there is no one in the capital who has not heard of this name.
Secondly, the reason why Ji Qingqing didn’t believe it was.
Luo Jingshen had clearly promised her that he would give Ji Yuntang a low score when he saw the answer sheet.
Even if other referees gave high scores and he alone gave a low score, it would lower Ji Yuntang's overall average score.
There was no way she would get full marks anyway.
She couldn't figure out what went wrong.
Xie Liuzheng glanced at Ji Qingqing sideways and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Miss Ji, you don't have the ability to get full marks, but you question others' full marks. It seems that you are really a rotten fish crawling out of the sewer. You speak so meanly."
Ji Qingqing's face was full of anger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you, Master. Principal Cheng has said that we can question the candidates' scores."
"My sister got full marks. As her younger sister, I am naturally happy for her. But I'm sure you understand what full marks mean."
"I believe that everyone here must be as curious as I am about my sister's results. Why did she get full marks when no one else got full marks for the same questions?"
Mei Zhuyu chuckled and glanced at Cheng Rushan.
"President Cheng, since some people have questioned Ji Yuntang's results, why don't we ask Ji Yuntang to tell us about her solution to this problem?"
When Cheng Rushan heard this, he knew that Mei Zhuyu also wanted to know, so he nodded and said, "Then do as Master Mei said."
Like Ji Qingqing, he was also scratching his head with curiosity.
However, as a teacher, he has already mastered the ability to control his emotions and will not easily expose his inner desires.
Ji Yuntang listened to the conversation between several people, smiled slightly and stood up.
She said slowly: "Actually, it's very simple to solve this problem. You just need to know the multiplication formula."
"What is the multiplication formula?" Mei Zhuyu asked curiously.
"To put it simply, the multiplication formula is a new way to check multiplication, division and square root in arithmetic. It is much faster than counting with sticks, mental arithmetic, and even using an abacus."
After Ji Yuntang finished speaking, she asked someone for some rice paper and wrote down a multiplication table on it.
"I just used the multiplication table to calculate the length of the 900-li Qinchuan."
"Take nine hundred and multiply three hundred and fifty and then five hundred, and subtract the five cents that it takes for the chestnut to roll one circle, and you get thirty-one million and a half million circles."
As Ji Yuntang spoke, he used a brush to list the vertical formula and each step of the solution.
After reading it, Mei Zhuyu felt like he had been enlightened.
He praised: "Great! It's wonderful!"
"I wonder if this multiplication table was invented by Miss Ji?"
Ji Yuntang shook his head and said truthfully: "No, I read this from a book. I thought it was very practical so I memorized it. But I can't find that book now!"
Mei Zhuyu was a little disappointed. He was just about to ask Ji Yuntang which book she had seen it in and who wrote the book, but then he heard her say that the book could not be found!
Ji Yuntang smiled and said, "No matter who wrote the multiplication table, his original intention was to enable thousands of students to use multiplication more flexibly to solve arithmetic problems."
"If Principal Cheng and Master Mei don't mind, you can copy down this multiplication table and use it to instruct more students."
Mei Zhuyu's eyes lit up, and then she asked in shock.
"Miss Ji, are you really willing to share the multiplication table?"
Ji Yuntang smiled and said, "I am willing to do so. Cultural knowledge knows no boundaries and no gender. Since I have come to participate in this competition, I am willing to use the knowledge I have mastered to help more people."
"I can't guarantee anything else, but if everyone here learns this multiplication table, then in the future, whether you are doing a problem, counting, or calculating, you will be able to accurately calculate the answer within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."
Mei Zhuyu smiled and said with great satisfaction: "It is true that the waves behind push the waves ahead. Miss Ji's broad-mindedness really makes me admire her."
There are no books on the market that contain the multiplication table mnemonics.
Ji Yuntang could obviously take the credit for herself, tell them that the multiplication table was created by her, and then sell it to make a fortune.
But she did not do so. Instead, she willingly shared this multiplication table for students all over the world to use.
Ji Yuntang is a woman, but how many men can match her demeanor?
Luo Junhe raised his thin lips slightly, and the gloom in his heart was swept away, and his peach blossom eyes unconsciously showed a hint of smile.
"My Atang is so amazing that both Pavilion Master Mei and Shanzhang Cheng look at her with new eyes. This king has married such an amazing princess!"
Chen Hu immediately said in a flattering tone: "The princess and the prince are family. If the princess is powerful, it means the prince is powerful. If the princess is equal to the prince, it means the princess is more manly than the prince."
Luo Junhe: "..."
He gave Chen Hu a cold look, and Chen Hu immediately covered his mouth with his hands and stood in the corner to draw circles.
He slapped himself on the mouth again.
We agreed not to talk, why can't you help yourself?
Luo Junhe ignored him and turned to look at Ji Yuntang again with a gentle look.
Today's Ji Yuntang was within his expectations, yet also beyond his expectations.
On the competition stage, she was as dazzling as a star in the night sky, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
Xie Liuzheng raised her eyebrows slightly and said loudly to Ji Qingqing: "Second Miss Ji, my sister got full marks in math, do you have any objections?"
"If you have any, please speak up quickly, otherwise you will spread it around after it's over, saying she cheated and ruining her reputation."
Ji Qingqing: "..."
She really wanted to tear Xie Liuzheng's stinky mouth apart. He was really talking about things that were irrelevant.
Dean Cheng and Master Mei had already said so, so how could she dare to have any objections?
Ji Qingqing took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth: "I have no objection."
After the arithmetic competition, there was a half-hour break and then the second round of carpentry competition began.
The invigilator came up and read out the rules of the competition.
"There is no set topic for the woodworking competition. Candidates can freely use their imagination to draw woodworking drawings on paper."
“The design direction revolves around the four aspects of “food, clothing, housing and transportation”, and its purpose is to “be convenient and beneficial to the people and bring benefits to the people”.
