Zhao Yanhuan trusted Yan Hua very much, so as soon as Yan Hua came up with the accounting, Zhao Yanhuan asked Yan Hua to take charge, and then she would just take one last look.
But Yan Hua sighed helplessly and said: "Master, although I also want to take responsibility, our Qipai Village lacks an accountant who can settle the accounts. It is too time-consuming for one of my subordinates to do the accounting."
What Yan Hua was worried about was really nothing to Zhao Yanhuan.
She said directly: "In our Qipai Village, every village and village has a school to teach everyone reading, literacy and accounting."
"Since there is a shortage of people, let's put up a notice and ask those who are good at quick calculation to come and take the accounting examination, so that there will be no one to use it."
Yan Hua and Zhao Yanhuan had this in mind when they talked about this matter.
However, Yan Hua can decide other things by himself, but he cannot overstep his authority in matters like selecting talents.
This matter seems to be just to find a few auditors, but in a bigger picture, if Zhao Yanhuan were the emperor, this would be the selection of officials.
If he even dares to take care of this, he is simply infringing on the emperor's authority and seeking death.
A smart person like Yan Hua would naturally not make such a stupid mistake.
Now that he had received Zhao Yanhuan's correct words, Yan Hua still said: "Then I will be responsible for the previous assessment. The last level is still up to you, my lord, to be the final check."
Zhao Yanhuan did not refuse this. It was her responsibility as the lord to give her the position.
"Okay, I'll come in person when the final test comes."
Yan Hua worked very efficiently and posted the notice on the day he informed Zhao Yanhuan that he was going to take the assessment.
The people under Zhao Yanhuan, except for the newly joined refugees, all knew the common words as long as they had joined Qipai Village for more than half a year.
So the notice was posted, and a group of people gathered around to look at it. Those who felt they were good at arithmetic enthusiastically signed up.
Everyone knows that working for Zhao Yanhuan has good benefits and a lot of money, so everyone is gearing up.
In order to pass the exam, many people cram themselves and study hard with quick calculation textbooks.
The exam started early the next morning.
In line with the principle of erring on the side of failure rather than excess, Yan Hua set up seven assessments. It was simple at first, but each assessment became more severe than the last.
Only those who have passed the seven assessments can come to Zhao Yanhuan and accept her final assessment.
Arithmetic is different from literature. Whether one is number one or not is vague. Personal preference and popular tendency will all lead to the evaluation of a person's talent. This is the reason why literature is number one.
But arithmetic is different. Every question has a correct answer. There is no opportunism. The examiner's personal preference cannot affect the score. As long as there is no cheating, it is absolutely fair.
There were three tests on the first day, two tests on the second and third days, and on the fourth day, Zhao Yanhuan took the test in person.
After these seven rounds of exams, more than 10,000 people signed up at the beginning, but now only 30 people are left standing in front of Zhao Yanhuan.
Not that Zhao Yanhuan had more than 100,000 people under his command, but only 30 of them could pass the test.
The main reason is that Yan Hua's requirements are too strict and abnormal. If he dares to sign up for the assessment, he can pass the math test. At least he can do the calculations clearly.
But Yan Hua not only requires calculations to be clear, but also to calculate quickly and well, and to do mental calculations without paper and pen.
Just mental arithmetic. In the final seventh level, not only do you have to do mental arithmetic, but you are also given only a little time to answer a complicated question. If you fail to answer it, you will be eliminated immediately.
Yan Hua even went so far as to make an hourglass, and the hourglass time was one hour, and then he asked questions directly. In this hour, he asked 500 questions.
These 500 questions are not even simple questions. Many of them are very complicated. Coupled with the question-setting method of chicken and rabbit in the same cage, even Zhao Yanhuan dare not say that he can do it.
The thirty people selected by Yan Hua were the best among the best. Zhao Yanhuan asked questions casually and was able to answer them immediately.
What surprised Zhao Yanhuan was that among the thirty people, there was one Yu Zi.
Yan Hua didn't know that Zhao Yanhuan knew Yu Zi, but seeing her look at Yu Zi, she even introduced Yu Zi to Zhao Yanhuan.
"This girl's name is Yu Zi. Her mental arithmetic is the best among them. She ranks first in every exam."
Obviously, Yan Hua was very optimistic about Yu Zi, and Zhao Yanhong was a little pity. Yu Zi had such a good talent, and it was a waste of her talent to get married and drop out of school before.
After Zhao Yanhuan passed the assessment, she only ranked these people. They had all passed Yan Hua's rigorous examination and came to her. They were all talents, and Zhao Yanhuan was not willing to waste them.
After accepting Zhao Yanhuan's assessment, these people got down to work.
Yan Hua only took away twenty-nine of them. Yu Zi, who ranked first in the exam, was left by Zhao Yanhuan to help her deal with the accounting issues.
After half a month of busy work, arrangements were finally made for Qipai Village, but Zhao Yanhuan did not immediately ask everyone to go to Yi'an Prefecture together.
Instead, he ordered three thousand young men and women to go to Yi'an Prefecture to take over the Wang family's land, and let Yan Hua and his mother Li Qing take their people and things slowly.
The three thousand people led by Zhao Yanhuan were dressed in fancy clothes, and both men and women looked very tall.
Yes, the female soldiers under Zhao Yanhuan are also very tall.
Most women are not as strong as men, but some women are actually as strong as men because they are tall.
Although Zhao Yanhuan wanted to train female soldiers so that women could improve their status in all aspects, she did not let women go to the battlefield to die.
Therefore, Zhao Yanhuan's only requirement for selecting female soldiers is that their strength must be high and must not be inferior to men, so as to ensure that they will not be suppressed by men during battle.
Most of the women with strong strength are also tall. Of course, there are also women who are not tall but have strong strength, but they are a minority.
In terms of training, Zhao Yanhuan trains men and women together. She does not give preferential treatment to female soldiers because she hopes that female soldiers can save their lives on the battlefield.
With these two requirements, there are very few women who can meet the standards. However, every female soldier who meets the standards can defeat the male soldiers in single combat, and they are the elite in Zhao Yanhuan's hands.
On this trip, Zhao Yanhuan weighed the pros and cons and brought a thousand female soldiers. The reason why he brought these female soldiers was to prevent the powerful and wealthy households in Yi'an Prefecture from being too afraid of her.
