Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

"Mother, do you have any other instructions? If you don't have a son, go back first."

Xie Huaijin thought that Ruan Qing came to him mainly to talk about the Women's Association. Now that the matter was over, he still had a bunch of memorials to deal with and was going to go back to the imperial study.

"Wait a moment, I have something else to talk to the emperor.

Liang Fan, go and get the Arabic numeral accounting form you have been thinking about recently. Ruan Qing glanced at him and turned his attention to Liang Fan.

Liang Fan subconsciously wanted to say that he hadn't sorted out the form yet, but the words slipped to his lips and he shrank back.

That's all. If the Queen Mother wants to see it, just show it to her.

There happened to be some parts that he didn't quite understand.

The Queen Mother came up with the method. She must have known the shortcomings at a glance and asked her to give some pointers.

Arabic numeral accounting table? What is that? Xie Huaijin looked at Ruan Qing suspiciously.

"Don't worry, I'll understand when I see you soon.

You, you can't even hide the fatigue between your brows, and you are still in a hurry, refusing to rest for a moment.

I will ask Dr. Hu to check your pulse later, and also teach you a set of Baduanjin. You can do it morning and night. It will not only help you sleep, but also your energy during the day will be much better.

I practiced with him for half a month, and I felt much better.

Don't rely on your youth and ignore it when you are busy. It will really make your body exhausted, but the gain will outweigh the loss. Ruan Qing looked at him a few times and said.

"Yes, my son listens to his mother. From now on, my son will practice Baduanjin with Dr. Hu every morning and evening." Xie Huaijin did not argue with Ruan Qing, but nodded obediently.

When he was the prince, he practiced martial arts with others every day.

After becoming the emperor, he was exhausted mentally and physically by all kinds of court affairs every day, and he had no time to exercise at all.

Recently my mental and physical strength has indeed become worse than before.

The mother and son talked for a while, and Liang Fan came back with the half-finished account sheet.

"These are Arabic numerals. Each number corresponds to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven..." Ruan Qing pointed to the Arabic numerals above and explained to the emperor.

"Well, these characters look much simpler than our Daxi's characters. Where did the queen find them? Why haven't she seen them before?"

Xie Huaijin's eyes fell on those numbers, and his curiosity was suddenly aroused.

“The characters were found in an orphan copy collected by the Ruan family when I was a child.

Later, I gradually forgot about them. When I was making sketches two days ago, I suddenly remembered them and marked them out.

After Liang Fan saw these figures, he felt that it was much more convenient to do accounting than the current accounting method.

I just let him try it and he's already halfway there.

After reading this table, I also feel that using Arabic numerals to do accounting is much simpler than the current method, especially if it is a double-entry account, it is less prone to errors.

Nowadays, there are some words in the account books. Adding one or two strokes will have completely different meanings.

As for Arabic numerals, except for very few, there is no way to add or subtract them.

It will not be so easy for some officials with evil intentions and corruption intentions to falsify accounts in the future.

Of course, this is just my idea. Mr. Cui, the Minister of Household Affairs, is an expert in this field. Show it to him and listen to his opinion. "Ruan Qing replied.

"That's true, but the accounts in the household department are very complicated. There are only ten of these characters in total..." Xie Huaijin's eyes lit up.

However, when I think about the complexity of the accounts in the household department, I worry that I won’t be able to do it with just ten characters.

There were some two-digit and three-digit number combinations on Liang Fan's form. Ruan Qing did not explain them, but Xie Huaijin could only understand them.

"Liang Fan, go get a pen and paper." Ruan Qing didn't say much and directly ordered Liang Fan to get a pen and paper.

"Queen Mother, I'll go, I'm fast on my feet." The magpie left quickly, and soon came over with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Ruan Qing walked to the table, picked up a pen, and wrote each digit in Arabic numerals: tens to hundreds, thousands to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands...

Then he put down the pen, pointed at the numbers on the paper and said, "Did you see it? The first one is 5, the second one is 15, the third one is 215, the fourth one is 3215, the fifth one...

By analogy, these 10 numbers can be broken up and combined in various ways. Does the emperor think these 10 numbers are not enough for everyone?"

"Enough, of course, my son will give it to Cui Shangshu." Xie Huaijin was ecstatic when he heard this.

Liang Fan, who still didn't understand some things, suddenly realized it at this moment.

The Queen Mother had told him some combinations of Arabic numerals before, but she didn't explain them so clearly and intuitively.

Jiang Yuan's eyes also brightened up. If this accounting method could be extended to the military, it would be much more convenient than it is now.

Many people in the army are rough and not very literate.

Some arrogant grain and grass officials will try their best to make the accounts unclear in order to line their own pockets.

Those generals whose educational level was not high to begin with could not understand those accounts at all, and in the end they could only listen to their nonsense.

"Well, show it to the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. If there is anything you don't understand or if there is anything that needs to be corrected, ask him to come to me at any time."

Ruan Qing obviously knew what he was thinking, so he pushed those accounts in front of him.

When Liang Fan saw that he was about to give the half-finished form to the emperor, he was afraid that the emperor would take it away and not return it to him, so he suddenly became anxious.

Ruan Qing looked at his appearance and couldn't help but smile. She turned around and told the emperor: "Bring this manuscript paper over after reading it. This is what Liang Fan did with great difficulty.

If the Account Department wants to use these numbers for accounting, let them reset the table themselves. "

"After knowing my mother, take your son back now. If you have any questions, let Cui Shangshu come to you."

Xie Huaijin was so excited that she didn't want to wait for a moment. She took the form, told Ruan Qing goodbye, got up and ran away in a hurry.

The emperor is really impatient, but if she is so diligent, she will surely be able to govern the country well if she gives him some experience summed up by countless people in later generations from time to time.

Her dream of being the queen mother of Xianyu may not take long to come true.

But if she wants to be a salted fish queen mother, she must ensure that the emperor is in good health.

Look at the emperor's hard work, if no one is keeping an eye on him, he may really suffer from physical exhaustion and die young.

This is not possible, the emperor does not even have a child.

After thinking about it, Ruan Qing turned to Que Yue and said, "Que Qi, go and find Dr. Hu."

After Queqi left, Jiang Yuan walked up to Ruan Qing and said hesitantly: "The Queen Mother, I would like to ask if this Arabic numeral accounting method can be extended to the army?"

"Of course. After Cui Shangshu has read it and summarized a more suitable accounting method, your Majesty will definitely promote it nationwide." Ruan Qing replied.

Cui Shangshu is a capable person, although he has never seen Arabic numerals and double-entry accounting.

But with his ability, he can understand it as long as he explains the concept a little bit.

Ruan Qing plans to use him to promote the double-entry accounting method as soon as possible.
