Time Travel: The First Female Imperial Teacher of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 43 The Great Wall Reaches Fuso Island

Lin Anlan smiled and said, "Please sit down first. I'll go cook for you."

Xia Wuqi nodded blankly. After he sat down, Lin Anlan turned and walked into the kitchen.

Xia Wuqie looked at her from behind, his face serious: "Your Majesty, are you sure you didn't bring me to the wrong place? Is that girl the Mr. Lin you mentioned?"

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded: "That's right."

"But...but isn't this too young?"

“Isn’t it good to be young?”

Xia Wuqie wanted to say something, but Meng Yi beside him had already hugged him: "Old Xia, just wait and see! Mr. Lin's medical skills will definitely open your eyes."

He looked at the former doubtfully, but ultimately said nothing.

As soon as the mutton was put into the pot to cook, Lin Anlan started to prepare other dishes. Xia Wuqie watched from the side and was amazed. He slowly began to believe that Lin Anlan was a man of real ability.

The mutton hotpot was ready quickly. As soon as it was served, the whole courtyard was filled with fragrance.

Ying Zheng swallowed his saliva and said, "Sir, what kind of meat is this? Why does it smell so good?"

Lin Anlan smiled and replied, "Mutton hotpot, you guys eat first. There are still many dishes in the kitchen. I'll go get them."

Ying Zheng nodded: "Okay."

As soon as Lin Anlan left, Xia Wuqi couldn't wait to pick up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth.

The mutton melted in the mouth and tasted delicious. He was shocked: "Isn't this mutton too delicious?"

Meng Yi laughed loudly: "How is it? I told you, the food cooked by Mr. Lin will definitely surprise you."

"I didn't expect that this girl is not only good at medicine, but also good at cooking. I am really ashamed of myself."

The few of them ate and chatted. With the mutton hotpot as a base, Xia Wuqie and Lin Anlan soon became brothers.

Lin Anlan also had a good impression of people with Xia Wuqie's personality. Most of the people she had met before were people with personalities like Ying Zheng and Meng Yi. This was the first time she had met someone with such a straightforward personality as the latter.

As they chatted, they somehow brought up the topic of the uprising.

Ying Zheng pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Girl, what you told me before about the uprising in Daze Township is true, but how did you know about it? Don't try to fool me with some immortal."

"Don't be anxious, just listen to me slowly." Lin Anlan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

She knew that what the immortal had told her before would not fool Brother Zhao, but she had already thought of how to fool him, so she slowly said, "In fact, this uprising was not a real uprising, but a chaos created by the remnants of the six kingdoms in order to undermine the stability of the Qin Dynasty. These people did everything they could to overthrow the Qin Dynasty. But they never thought about what kind of life the common people were living while they were enjoying wealth and glory."

Ying Zheng's eyes were gloomy: "These remnants of the six kingdoms, for the sake of their own glory and wealth, actually disregarded the lives of the people. How hateful!"

Lin Anlan nodded: "They revolted because they believed that the Qin Dynasty's tax laws were harsh and that the First Emperor was a tyrant. But think about it, if you delay reporting for conscription labor, the most you will get is a beating, how can you be executed?"

"Mr. Lin, do you mean that those people said this on purpose? They just want to cause panic?" Meng Yi said with a frown.

"That's right, and they also used the saying, 'How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?' Ordinary civilians can't read, and they have no chance to come across this saying, so as soon as this saying came out, everyone knew they were lying."

At this point, Lin Anlan changed the subject: "In fact, it is a good thing to have an uprising army. The uprising army just shows that the people are very dissatisfied with their current lives, and it can serve as a warning to our First Emperor. The people's lives are very hard now, and they are used to it. If suddenly one day, they find that their lives are much better than before. They will naturally have a sense of belonging to the Qin Dynasty. Only those who have a sense of belonging will make sacrifices for the country."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was silence in the yard and the three of them widened their eyes.

What Lin Anlan said were things they had never thought about at all. If she hadn't said it, they might never have thought in this direction.

After a long while, Ying Zheng slowly spoke: "So that's how it is."

His eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Lin Anlan: Such a wonderful woman actually appeared in our Great Qin, it is truly a gift from God!

Meng Yi was also shocked. After so many things happened before, he had doubted himself. Now no matter what shocking actions Lin Anlan made, he thought it was normal. After all, in his heart, the other party had long become a god-like figure.

On the contrary, Xia Wuqi was completely dumbfounded. He had previously heard Meng Yi talk about how powerful Lin Anlan was, but he was a little skeptical.

But now it seems that this lady is even more powerful than Meng Yi said.

He let out a long sigh: "A master is a master. I have lived in vain for so many years."

Lin Anlan smiled and said nothing.

Ying Zheng thought about it, but in the end he couldn't help wondering, "Girl, is there any way to completely eradicate the remnants of the six kingdoms?"

Lin Anlan chuckled: "Although these people are few in number, they are like a thorn in the flesh. It is almost impossible to eliminate them all. But we don't have to eliminate them. Isn't Daqin building the Great Wall now? We can capture those people and send them to the construction site to do hard labor. Anyway, these people are idle anyway, so why not make some contributions to Daqin."

"As time goes by, the remaining people will be assimilated by the Qin Empire, and there will no longer be any remnants of the Six Kingdoms."

Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Then do as you say, girl. I will report to His Majesty the First Emperor when I get back."

He had heard Lin Anlan say before that the enemy should be enslaved. Thinking about it now, every word of those words was true.

Lin Anlan stood up and said, "Okay, stop talking about these unhappy things. Brother, I'll take you to see the newly planted potatoes and red beans."

Ying Zheng also became interested. He stood up and followed behind the former like a little follower.

Looking at the potatoes and sweet potatoes that were planted in a larger area, Ying Zheng laughed: "Girl, I actually have a dream. I think if our Great Qin built the Great Wall to Fusang Island, then we could continuously transport gold to the Great Qin, as well as all kinds of strange things in the sea."

Lin Anlan had a look of astonishment on his face, and looked at the former as if he had seen a ghost.

Ying Zheng was stunned: "Lin girl, do you think my idea is inappropriate?"
