As dusk settled and the sun began to set in the west, darkness descended.
Just as Liang Yu was about to lead everyone away, a young man dressed in shorts, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, hurriedly ran over from deep within the factory.
"Manager Yu! Manager Yu!" the young man called out from afar, his voice tinged with anxiety.
Hearing this, Liang Yu turned around and nodded slightly to him: "Is it urgent?"
The young man rushed over, panting, and said, "Manager Yu, the accounting department is really short-handed!"
“A new factory is also under construction in Yunzhou. The factory has a lot of accounts to report, and the other managers are almost overwhelmed. They would like you to come and help.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Yu finished the last piece of watermelon in her hand, carefully wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and gently smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Having said that, he was about to walk towards the factory's accounting office.
Upon hearing this, the group of veteran officials exchanged bewildered glances, and then their eyes flashed with a sharp light!
An opportunity!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to demonstrate one's value in front of the "future crown prince"!
Grand Tutor Xi was the first to step forward, trembling, and said excitedly, "Your Highness... Steward Yu, why do you need to trouble yourself with such a trivial matter as accounting?"
He almost called out "Your Highness" again, but thankfully he corrected himself in time.
"Although we are old, we still have some knowledge of mathematics and accounting! We are willing to share the burden for Steward Yu!" Grand Tutor Xi said earnestly.
"Yes, yes, yes! Grand Tutor Xi is absolutely right!"
"This old minister is also willing to go!"
"We are unworthy, but we are willing to serve Manager Yu!"
Immediately, the other senior officials also spoke up.
They all rushed to participate, afraid of falling behind and missing this opportunity to impress the future crown prince.
Liang Yu's clear eyes swept over them, a fleeting smile playing on her lips.
She pretended to hesitate for a moment before slowly speaking: "I am deeply grateful for the kindness of you esteemed elders."
"However, accounting is a complicated and demanding job, and once you take it on, you have to deal with it every day."
"It will be difficult to leave easily again."
"Gentlemen, have you thought this through?"
“Leave? We’re not leaving, we’re not leaving!” An old minister immediately waved his hand.
His Majesty's secretly groomed successors are all working tirelessly here.
How could these veteran officials be content with a life of ease?
Of course, we should share weal and woe with "Your Highness" and work together to support the nation! This is a golden opportunity!
Grand Tutor Xi was the first to speak, his tone firm and resolute: "Don't worry, Steward Yu! Since we've spoken, it means we've thought it through clearly!"
"From now on, I am willing to serve the barren mountains like a dog or a horse, even unto death!"
"We are willing to serve you like dogs and horses!" The other old ministers echoed in unison, their expressions solemn, as if they were reciting some sacred oath.
Looking at their excited expressions, which seemed to be on steroids, Liang Yu nodded inwardly, but her face remained calm and composed.
Very good, your imagination is spot on.
These old guys, despite their white hair and frail appearance, are not to be underestimated.
Those are all ruthless characters who fought their way out of the bloody battles of the imperial examinations and the imperial court!
Which one of them isn't the most shrewd of all?
Asking them to do the math is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Of course, settling accounts is just the beginning. In the future, these people will be placed wherever there is a need, just like the Grand Preceptor Ling.
In this barren, fledgling area, everything is in need of rebuilding, and what we lack is this kind of experienced and highly capable free labor!
You can't force a relationship to work; you have to get them to willingly jump in on their own to maximize efficiency!
In the future, it won't just be about accounting; it will also include engineering planning, legal revision, and public welfare management...
They're busy enough!
Seeing that the group of people seemed to be on steroids, Liang Yu said no more and simply nodded slightly: "In that case, please follow me."
Having said that, he led the way, leading a group of vigorous old ministers, and marched in a grand procession toward the accounting office deep inside the factory.
The accounting office was not far from the factory; it was a row of newly built brick and tile houses, about ten in total.
This shows just how complicated the accounts at the barren mountain are.
The windows are all made of glass, allowing excellent light that makes the room bright and clean.
Inside the room, several young men and women wearing blue cloth sleeves were engrossed in a mountain of account books.
The abacus beads clicked and clattered, occasionally punctuated by low murmurs of discussion and calculation.
The air was filled with the scent of ink and the unique aroma of paper.
As soon as Liang Yu entered, the busy young men immediately stood up: "Liang Yu, you've finally arrived! Come and see the new mine we discovered in Qingzhou. It's an iron..."
They stopped abruptly halfway through their conversation, realizing there was a large group of people behind them.
They looked at each other, then quickly sat down and swallowed their previous words.
Liang Yu smiled at the group and said, "It's alright. These people will also be working in the accounting office in the future. Let them get to know the industry in the barren mountain first, and then they can work together."
Anyway, these people can't escape now.
Even if you try to escape secretly, you'll get your legs broken and be thrown back.
Some secrets don't need to be hidden at all.
While she was internally considering various methods of threatening, she remained outwardly calm.
He even nodded slightly and said softly to the group of old ministers, "My lords, the mountain is newly built and the accounts are complicated. Please bear with us."
Then, she began to assign tasks in an orderly manner.
"Grand Tutor Xi, you are a man of high moral character and great prestige. Would you please take a look at the general ledgers compiled from all the factories and check for any omissions or deficiencies?"
Grand Tutor Xi stroked his beard and nodded: "As you command, Steward Yu."
