After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

All matters in the harem were originally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but since the founding of Tianxuan, there have been few queens who could reign for ten years.

It can be said that in Tianxuan, being a queen is also a high-risk job.

Therefore, the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs was in relative chaos. When Yun Zhou set out to rectify it, he realized how much trouble he had brought upon himself.

But the words had already been spoken, and Su Qingluo had ordered her to change it, so Yun Zhou had no choice but to do it.

After this statistics, Yun Zhou realized that there were more redundant personnel in the palace than she had imagined.

Taking into account shifts, backup personnel, etc., there is still one-third excess.

No wonder the inner court’s monthly expenses are so huge.

Yunzhou’s reform can be said to have overturned half of the existing rules.

The workload cannot be small.

It is comparable to a group of tens of thousands of people. The workload is no joke.

Fortunately, she was able to find many capable female officials in the harem who could assist her in managing harem affairs, and her changes were supported by most of the lower-level palace maids.

With Su Qingluo backing her up behind the scenes, everything went smoothly.

Yun Zhou was very happy because at least no concubine dared to stop her. At most, they were dissatisfied and made a few sarcastic remarks.

This is not a big problem for Yun Zhou.

But she lacked management experience after all. Although she could ask Su Qingluo for advice on many things, she felt that some things were not easy to ask.

I always feel that asking too many questions makes me seem particularly stupid.

Su Qingluo had finished her work for the day, and on a whim she decided to visit Yun Zhou's office, the general manager.

Yun Zhou was checking the accounts. Su Qingluo saw many strange characters written on the paper in front of her. She seemed to be checking whether the accounts were accurate based on those characters.

"It's annoying. Why didn't I learn how to use an abacus back then? This thing is more useful with an abacus." Yun Zhou was concentrating on calculating and complaining as he went along.

She was facing the window, so her back was to Su Qingluo.

Su Qingluo told people not to inform and walked quietly behind Yun Zhou.

She watched Yunzhou's calculation speed. Although she couldn't understand it, she could roughly know whether she had figured it out or not based on what Yunzhou was muttering.

It’s a stupid method, but it’s not as slow as she imagined.

But it is indeed a bit worse than the abacus.

Before he knew it, Yun Zhou had finished checking today's account books.

She was still mumbling: "If you can give me an Excel, I still need to calculate? I can just draw a table for you."

"What is that?" Su Qingluo suddenly asked.

Yun Zhou heard her voice and turned around stiffly. Facing Su Qingluo's smiling face, Yun Zhou felt uneasy. Why did she come? When did she come?

Yun Zhou's mind was full of question marks, and she was so surprised that she even forgot to salute. It was not until Su Qingluo had sat down that she remembered that she had not saluted.

"Sit down and check the accounts?" Su Qingluo took the account book and took a look at it.

"Yeah." Yun Zhou really didn't like doing this kind of thing. She didn't like math, so when she was catching a little girl recently, she accidentally discovered that the little girl had a good memory and was very sensitive to numbers.

So Yunzhou planned to train her so that she could be a worker in the future.

Of course, the daily accounts will be checked by a special agency, but Yun Zhou still wants to check it again by himself to avoid being deceived.

"What are these red circles?" Su Qingluo asked curiously.

"I feel like something is not right. I'll go and ask about it tomorrow." Yun Zhou answered seriously.

Su Qingluo put down the account book and looked at her, feeling that she seemed to have lost some weight recently.

"How is the progress?"

"Everything went well, there were no major problems. But there was a lot of turmoil, so I thought it would be better to check many things myself to minimize the mistakes caused by personnel changes." Yun Zhou answered obediently.

Su Qingluo nodded slightly: "Very thoughtful."

Yun Zhou didn't know how to answer for a moment. She replied politely and obediently, "Thank you for the compliment," and that was all.

"How did you get this method of calculation?" Su Qingluo was quite curious about her method of calculation.

After hearing this, Yun Zhou quickly began to explain.

The multiplication table is not difficult, Su Qingluo also knows it, but many ordinary people are illiterate and may not know how to write every word even if they can recite it.

The vertical form is also easier to understand, and when replaced with more concise numbers, it seems to be really good when combined together.

In general, it is an easy-to-understand way of recording and calculating.

Su Qingluo thought for a while and said, "Can this method be promoted?"

"Ah? If Your Majesty wants to promote it, I will just teach it to others." There is nothing wrong with promoting this.

"But this method is not as useful as an abacus for calculating accounts."

Su Qingluo smiled and shook her head: "It's not for those merchants, but for ordinary people. These symbols are easy to understand, and there are only ten symbols. It's easy to learn. If it can be promoted, it will be much easier for ordinary people to simply keep accounts."

Yun Zhou finally understood: "I understand."

At this point, Yun Zhou's eyes suddenly turned again: "My queen, there is a lot of snow this year, I am afraid there are many abandoned orphans in Xuandu, why don't we find someone to run a girls' school to teach these girls some knowledge? Not the kind that teaches girls virtues and precepts."

"Maybe these people can be of use to you in the future?" Yun Zhou said cautiously.

Su Qingluo heard her words and nodded slightly: "That's fine."

"But why do you suddenly want to open a school?" Su Qingluo didn't believe that she was just acting on a whim.

"A few days ago, a maid who had just entered the palace begged me to take her in. She said she didn't want to be abandoned and frozen to death in the cold like her three-year-old sister."

"After asking around, I found out that in some villages or towns outside Xuandu City, because of natural disasters, many families cannot afford to support so many people, so they either sell or abandon the girls." Yun Zhou said cautiously.

Su Qingluo listened, her expression slightly unhappy: "I know."

"What about the school?" Yun Zhou asked again tentatively.

"If you have suitable people to help run the school, go ahead and do it. I can provide the funding." Su Qingluo poured herself a cup of tea and said lightly.

Yun Zhou quickly agreed: "I think Zhuang Xiaoman, who is well-known in Xuandu City, Baihe Jushi is quite suitable."

I have heard of this White Crane Hermit Su Qingluo.

"You can do whatever you want. I will only give you one hundred taels."

One hundred taels is also very high.

After taking a sip of tea, Su Qingluo asked casually, "Do you think I am immoral and derelict in my duty?"

Yun Zhou didn't know why she asked that, and his eyes were filled with confusion and puzzlement as he looked at her.

"Xuandu is the imperial capital, at the feet of the emperor, but there are so many children freezing to death outside Xuandu. Isn't this a dereliction of duty?" Su Qingluo sighed after she finished speaking.

Who knew that Yun Zhou would just shake his head seriously.

"It's not your fault, ma'am."

It's impossible to blame the Queen entirely for this kind of thing.
