From eunuch to emperor

Entering the East Palace, followed He Ningxin to the study room, where the eldest princess Di Yuwei sat in front of the desk and read.

He Ningxin blocked Zhang Qian outside and refused to let her in.

Zhang Qian can't help it, this is where the eldest princess belongs, she can't make trouble.

At this time, Di Yuwei was not wearing court clothes, but casual clothes, with ink paintings on the clothes, which seemed to be an outsider.

"My subordinate, Long Cheng'en, pay my respects to the Eldest Princess."

Long Chen saluted slightly.

Di Yu put down the book slightly, looked at Long Chen carefully, and said, "Fourth sister, are you willing to let you come here?"

This is a light word, but the meaning is worth pondering.

Everyone knows that Emperor Luoxi protects the food and regards Long Chen as his own forbidden scorpion.

Di Yuwei once tried to win Long Chen over, but failed.

"The lower official is a member of the imperial court. The fourth princess understands righteousness, and ordered me to assist the eldest princess carefully."

"Is it to tell you not to betray?"

Di Yuwei knew very well who his younger sister was.

Long Chen was at a loss for words for a moment, unexpectedly he didn't know how to answer.

Sure enough, they are sisters, and they speak in the same style.

"Okay, time is running out, I'm going to the household department right now."

"Ningxin, is everyone here?"

Di Yuwei also found someone himself, and they were all experts in checking accounts.

"It's all ready, waiting at the door."

Di Yu got up slightly and walked to the bedroom, the maid followed behind, He Ningxin went to the door and told the maid to prepare the carriage.

Long Chen stood in the study, ready to go out, but was stopped by Di Yu's slight call.

"You come in."

Long Chen froze for a moment, but followed into the bedroom.

Di Yu walked slightly into the bedroom, behind the screen, there were many clothes hanging on the hangers, and two maids took the formal clothes from the hangers.

"Changing clothes for this princess, fourth sister won't mind?"

Di Yu stretched out his hands slightly, and the ink style clothes slipped to the ground, revealing a tall and fair body in front of his eyes.

The eldest princess Di Yuwei was tall and slender, with not much flesh on her body, very thin, but just right, not that sickly.

Di Yu looked back at Long Chen slightly, and motioned him to help him get dressed.

Long Chen's heart was full of shit, he had seen Di Luoxi, he had seen the empress again, and this time it was Di Yuwei again, did he want to watch their family of five all over again?

Long Chen stepped forward and saw the bellybands on the wardrobe, these bellybands were also ink style, silk texture.

"I don't know which one the princess will wear today?"

Long Chen dressed Di Yuwei for the first time, and he didn't know what kind of collocation she liked.

"I heard that you have a good eye for matching clothes. You can figure it out."

Di Yuwei discovered that after Long Chen arrived in the West Palace, his clothes and hairstyles were very stylish, and she wanted to try Long Chen's vision.

Long Chen picked out a plain silk apron, walked to the front and helped Di Yuwei put it on, and then went around behind to tie the belt.

That's right, Long Chen walked to the front on purpose just now, just to get a clear view.

After staying in the harem for a long time, Long Chen became more courageous.

After putting on the bellyband, he picked out another pair of trousers with the same ink style to help Di Yuwei wear them.

The last one is the formal wear, in order to match the ink style apron, Long Chen chose another matching one.

After putting it on, Long Chen said: "The princess's hairstyle can be changed, it will match better."

Di Yu sat in front of the dressing table, and Long Chen quickly made a new hairstyle.

Standing up and looking at the bronze mirror, Di Yuwei was very satisfied: "No wonder Fourth Sister regards you as a treasure."

After leaving the bedroom, Di Yuwei was in front, Long Chen was behind, and when they arrived at the door, He Ningxin led a dozen men and women, all of whom were good accountants selected from various yamen.

"Meet Her Majesty the Princess."

Everyone saluted in unison.

Di Yuwei ignored it, got into the carriage directly, and went straight to the household department.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Households, only Chen Hanying, the servant of the Ministry of Households, led the officials of the Ministry of Households to greet him at the door.

"Chen Hanying, servant of the lower official household department, pays a visit to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Your Majesty pays homage to Her Majesty the Princess."

The officials of the household department saluted together.

"Where is Jing Shangshu?"

He Ning was not happy.

Although Jing Heng's family is powerful, Emperor Yuwei is the eldest princess, and she is ordered to check the accounts of the household department. As the secretary of the household department, Jing Heng should lead his staff to greet her at the door.

Di Yu slightly signaled her to forget it, Jing Heng is used to being domineering, so it's useless to say it, it will only make him lose face even more.

Di Yuwei got off the carriage and led the people into the main hall of the household department. The account books of the household department for the past ten years were all placed on the floor of the main hall, and they were so full that they almost filled most of the room.

Seeing these ledgers, Di Yuwei's heart shuddered.

How to check with so many books?

"His Royal Highness, these were brought here by Lord Shangshu, and the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts are all here."

Chen Hanying, the minister of the household department, bowed respectfully.

This Chen Hanying was from the Jing family, and was surrounded by Jing Tianlie, so he was respectful but disrespectful to Di Yu's appearance.

"understood."

Di Yu said something coldly, then waved his hand, signaling Chen Hanying and the people from the household department to go out.

Chen Hanying took people out, and He Ningxin immediately said: "You guys start checking, and if you have any questions, bring them to me."

A dozen people immediately began to look at the ledger.

Long Chen also picked up the account book and looked through it, the accounting method used in it was very primitive and looked messy.

Di Yuwei led people from morning to night, and even ate meals at the household department.

Di Yuwei herself had also learned how to keep accounts, but seeing these accounts made her brain ache.

"Princess, these ledgers are messy."

He Ning rubbed her temples heartily.

Di Yuwei directly put the account book aside, and said angrily: "This account is so messy, how can we check it!"

The dozen or so people brought here were equally overwhelmed. These accounts were too many and too messy.

"Your Highness, these accounts haven't been kept for half a year, and we may not be able to sort them out."

said an old accountant.

It took half a year to manage the accounts, and the day lily was cold.

However, Long Chen was so absorbed in watching it that he would paint and draw from time to time.

Di Yu got up slightly and walked behind Long Chen, only to see some strange symbols written on another account by Long Chen: 12345...

"What kind of script is this? Barbarian script? Or pirate script?"

He Ningxin couldn't understand Arabic numerals.

Long Chen ignored it, but continued to make old accounts into new ones and calculate them bit by bit.

After sorting out a few accounts, Long Chen got up and said: "Your Highness, I have a new accounting method, I want all accountants to learn from it, according to this new accounting method, I can sort out all the accounts of the account department. "

Long Chen had good intentions, but when he said these words, he was ridiculed unanimously.

"I have been an accountant for more than 40 years, don't you know how to do accounts?"

"I'm old and I can't learn new things. If you think you can't do it with your old age, the princess should ask someone else."

"I'm old and dizzy, and I can't do anything else. If the adults think we can't do it, then that's all."

To put it bluntly, these people think that they can handle accounts, and look down on Long Chen's fiddling.

Seeing the reluctance of these accountants, Di Yu said, "Isn't there just one way of keeping accounts? There are new ones?"

Long Chen also saw the thoughts of these people, and said: "My bookkeeping method is called double-entry bookkeeping. Let me demonstrate it to you. If you think it's good, then learn it. If you think it's not good, then forget it."

After speaking, Long Chen picked up an account book and began to demonstrate the double-entry bookkeeping method to them.
