The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 716: The Autumn Examination Begins
Yun Jiao was just about to speak when Lady Wu said, "Don’t rush to decline. I know you have many things to do, and now you’re going to set up a White Medicine Workshop, which will only increase your workload. However, I won’t completely let go. When you’re busy, just leave it to me."
When Lady Wu said this, Yun Jiao had no way to refuse.
However, she didn’t plan to sit in the room all day like Lady Wu, listening to reports from handmaidens and stewards.
That would be a waste of her time.
With two to three hundred people in Duke Mansion, it’s comparable to a small to medium-sized enterprise. As long as the system is perfected, the chairman only needs to make some major decisions.
Moreover, the management at Duke Mansion isn’t as complicated as an enterprise, at least there is no need for external dealings.
The main focus is on managing money and people.
After agreeing, Yun Jiao first found Housekeeper Lin and understood the operation mechanism of Duke Mansion. After returning home, she wrote a project plan.
She made some changes to the current personnel and financial systems at Duke Mansion.
In this way, not every expenditure needs to go through her; she only needs to check the accounts every ten days or half a month.
Lady Wu was quite easygoing, as Yun Jiao could make any changes without her questioning. Yun Jiao spent over a month and soon got everything in the mansion on track, with everyone performing their duties more orderly and efficiently than before.
Duke asked Housekeeper Lin to handle something one day, expecting it would take a long time, but it was done quickly.
Jiang Zhongxing was surprised and asked Housekeeper Lin, only to learn that things in the mansion were now handled according to the processes set by Yun Jiao.
The efficiency was greatly improved.
Jiang Zhongxing couldn’t help but praise, "Yun Jiao has great talent."
Not long after, Yun Jiao’s White Medicine Workshop started operations, and the first batch of White Medicine was supplied to the Ministry of War.
The Beijing Military Department also placed an order, but it had to be further down the list.
Yun Jiao ran around various places every day. Although busy, the feeling of satisfaction when counting money until her hands cramped at the end of each month was worth it.
The days passed quickly until August, and the autumn exams were about to start.
During this period, Yun Jiao also reduced the time spent at the two workshops, only visiting occasionally to add materials, focusing her main energy on preparing Jiang Youzhi for the exams.
Yun Jiao prepared everything she could think of for Jiang Youzhi.
In addition to the necessary items like pens, ink, paper, inkstones, teacups, bowls, blankets, fans, oil cloth, and mosquito repellent, Yun Jiao also brought him flower dew, Huo Shui for discomfort, and all sorts of peculiar medicines she deemed useful.
On the morning of August 9th, a carriage set off from Duke Mansion.
The carriage stopped near the examination hall.
Jiang Youzhi, dressed in a sky-blue robe, got out of the carriage and then helped Yun Jiao down.
Jiang Youzhi glanced at the throngs of people ahead, "Don’t go any further, there are too many people and you’ll get squeezed."
Yun Jiao nodded obediently, "Mm, I won’t go. I’ll just watch you go in from here."
Jiang Youzhi wanted to kiss her, but with so many people around, he just reached out to touch her cheek and withdrew, "I’m going."
Yun Jiao nodded, "Take care of yourself. I’ll be waiting for you to come out." After saying this, Yun Jiao felt something was off about her words.
Jiang Youzhi nodded and walked forward, with Du Ruo carrying the exam basket behind him.
Long queues had already formed at the entrance of the examination hall. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Officers at the entrance were searching each scholar for any hidden items.
