Chapter 341: Abacus, Calculation, and Calculation

Yue felt that his body was instantly surrounded by a powerful embrace.

She smothered into Yuan Chenhao's arms, and suddenly lost her mind and forgot to break free from his arms.

However, after Yuan Chenhao caught her, he gently pushed her away, lowered his head and asked, "Are you okay?"

And Yue looked at the dragon pattern embroidered with silver silk on his chest, in a daze.

She suddenly found that Yuan Chenhao's clothes were a little familiar.

She remembered the one he wore under his robe when he was in the camp that year.

Yuan Chenhao found that her eyes were a little distracted, and he quickly shook her arm, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" and then reached out and touched her forehead, "Did you hit your head?"

When his hand was about to touch the moon, she subconsciously bent down and dodged, retreating three steps away from him.

Yuan Chenhao looked at his empty hand, shook his head self-deprecatingly, and then bent down to pick up the account books one by one.

Yue found that she was a little out of shape, and also squatted down to help pick up the account books.

There was a strange silence in the study.

Yue felt a little embarrassed, so she took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, why are you wearing this dress today." ”

Yuan Chenhao said lightly: "I've been busy reading the account books these days, and I don't have time to bathe." However, when I wanted to see you again, I had to take off my outer robe, and when I understood this, I went to bathe and change my clothes. ”

He picked up the account book on the ground, took the account book in Yue's hand again, and put it back in the corner according to the name.

"This house was just cleaned up before you came, so I'm waiting for you in the garden. ”

"Oh. Yue Ari understood, Yuan Chenhao was actually equivalent to wearing pajamas, and she didn't feel a little red on her face.

At this moment, Yuan Chenhao suddenly looked back at her and asked, "Wen Yue, why do I think we have known each other for a long time!"

When Yue heard this, her brain was buzzing, and this question made her not know how to answer for a while, so she had to say perfunctorily: "Know? ”

She pretended to be naΓ―ve and ignorant and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

Yuan Chenhao stared at her intently for five seconds, then sighed and said, "It's nothing, I just think you are a little like an old man." ”

Yue felt a little chill in her back when she heard this, and faintly felt that things were not good, and in this hurry, she suddenly felt some distension and pain in her lower abdomen.

"I'm afraid the emperor has admitted his mistake. Yuexin retreated, and she said to Yuan Chenhao: "Your Majesty, these account books, I think it will be a waste of time to continue reading." As... ”

"Why not as good as what?"

Yue suggested: "It's better to let the people from the household department take it back, and in a few days I will ask my people to go to the household department to help them copy it again." ”

Yuan Chenhao listened, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the moon, and asked unhurriedly, "You... What the hell do you want to do?"

Yue smiled, "My plan is for them to do these account books all over again according to my method, which is a more professional method." ”

Yuan Chenhao sighed, "If it's just a simple transcription, then it's simple, the key is that it also involves calculations, which is too time-consuming." ”

Yue thought about it and felt that his concern was not unreasonable.

The current bookkeeping method in the British account is very backward, similar to how she used to play five chess with her friends and count by writing the word "positive".

The counting method here is called arithmetic.

Counting chips here, in fact, it is a stick of the same length and thickness, generally made of bamboo, but also made of wood, animal bones, ivory, metal and other materials, about more than 200 pieces for a bunch, put in a cloth bag, tied around the waist to carry around. These are the essentials that the bookkeeper has with them, and when they need to count and calculate, they take them out, put them on the table, and start using them.

Arithmetic is also a decimal calculation method, and it can be done addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. However, Yue only watched Xu Chengchang operate a few times, and she didn't learn this method herself, but she faintly felt that this method was a bit like an abacus.

There is a problem with arithmetic, that is, there will be problems when encountering calculations with a large number of digits.

Just like we do equation calculations, you have to write a long list of equations, and it's easy to get dizzy. Not to mention the chips, in fact, put those wooden sticks on the table and put them all over again.

When you don't have a computer or a calculator, you can use an abacus to calculate, but it wastes a lot of time.

And now in Great Britain, there is not even an abacus, only a calculation.

Yue remembered that when he was studying, there must be a CASIO calculator in each student's school bag, which is the standard configuration for economics students, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and square operations can be used.

And the bookkeeper here, everyone has a bag of calculations, and it's too backward to think about it.

However, she may not be able to conjure up a computer or a calculator, but she can still make an abacus.

"Your Majesty, so I just said that the officials of the household department still need to study professionally, so that they can work more efficiently. ”

"What to study?" said Yuan Chenhao curiously.

Yue thought for a moment and said, "Learn how to complete the modern ledger and the modern counting method. ”

"A new type of book, the kind of book you just gave me a lot of time to eat?"

"Yes, yes. ”

"And what's the new way of counting?"

Yue smiled and said, "I've come up with a new gadget that is much more useful than arithmetic." ”

Yue finally knew why Yuan Chenhao took off his coat, he must have calculated some of the data in the account book, and he should have used the floor of the imperial study as a table for counting.

If he wears too much, he probably won't be able to fiddle with it.

"Really, can you show me?" Yuan Chenhao heard this and looked at her curiously like a child.

Yue shook her head, "I haven't made it yet, I'll present it to Your Majesty when I do." ”

"Yes. Yuan Chenhao nodded, and then he said: "I thought about it for a while, if you have something to find me, it may be a little inconvenient, I will still give you a vacant position and give you a palace card, so that it will be more convenient for you to enter and exit the palace." ”

Yue thought that this happened to be her headache, and every time she was waiting for him to summon her, she didn't have the initiative at all, so she asked, "Then what kind of idle position is Your Majesty going to give me?"

Yuan Chenhao seemed to have been prepared, he walked to the big case, took out a holy decree, and said: "I am going to make you the historian of the living note, I don't know what you think?"

"Chronicle of the living notes?" she had never heard of this official name, and she asked, "What do you want to do when you are an official?"
