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

Late at night, after Ying Zheng finished dealing with government affairs, he asked someone to call Zhang Han and Feng Jie to the imperial study.

"How's Long Ju doing?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Three thousand cavalrymen have been recruited and are currently undergoing training," Feng Jie replied.

"Quality of soldiers is more important than quantity. Well done." Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Feng Jie bowed to express his gratitude.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han and asked, "Zhang Han, if I need a large number of carpenters and blacksmiths, how many can I summon from all over the country?"

"Your Majesty, the official slaves and private slaves in various parts of the Qin Dynasty add up to about 500,000 people. There are also many slaves without household registration, and these people add up to about one million. In addition, there are craftsmen among the people, and various criminals. These people add up to about one million people, so Your Majesty can gather a maximum of two million people." Zhang Han said with a bow.

A gleam of light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes. Are there so many slaves in the Qin Dynasty?

"With so many slaves, why not give them household registration and make them civilians?" Ying Zheng asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that most of these slaves are descendants of the six kingdoms. They are unruly and difficult to discipline, so they can only be treated as slaves." Zhang Han said with a wry smile.

"Feng Jie, how many of these slaves are the most outstanding carpenters and blacksmiths?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty, among these slaves, there are about 20,000 to 30,000 carpenters and blacksmiths. The 100 most outstanding ones have been sent by me to serve as assistants to Mr. Lin." Feng Jie replied.

"Very good, bring a dozen of the best carpenters and blacksmiths to see me." Ying Zheng said.

"Yes!" Feng Jie bowed and did it immediately.

The next day, Ying Zheng looked at the dozen people kneeling below and was very satisfied.

"Now I am going to establish a Daqin Research Institute, and you will be the first batch of members."

"Research Institute?" Everyone looked confused.

Ying Zheng explained: "The Research Institute is a place dedicated to the research of various technologies. Each of you can get a salary of ten taels of gold every month. In addition, once you have an invention, I will reward you greatly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." More than a dozen craftsmen kowtowed in thanks.

Ying Zheng waved his hand and let them go.

"Feng Jie, this is classified as top secret by the Research Institute. Make sure no one copies it."

"Yes!" Feng Jie bowed quickly.

Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "Also, protect the safety of these people and don't let some random people harm them."

Feng Jie quickly assured: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. If anyone dares to take advantage of the Research Institute, I will kill him without a burial place."

"Zhang Han, you also assist Feng Jie to set up the research institute as soon as possible." Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han and said.

"Yes!" Zhang Han also bowed quickly.

"Also, what has Lin Anlan done recently?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Lin is teaching mathematics, physics and chemistry. He is also teaching Huang Yuan and others how to smelt iron and make cement, etc." Feng Jie replied.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smack his lips. That girl's contribution was really huge.

First came the curved plow, then potatoes, and then mud red bricks.

Now she has even provided me with iron smelting technology and cement, and has also helped me train talents. With such a great contribution, what gift should I give her?

Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.

At this time, in Xiaxiang County, in a mansion, Xiang Yu finished his morning training and was about to go to eat when a graceful woman came towards him.

"Yu Ji." Xiang Yu smiled.

"Brother Yu." Yu Ji gently hugged Xiang Yu.

"Yu Ji, what are you doing..." Xiang Yu was a little confused.

"Brother Yu, I just hope you can take care of yourself." Yu Ji said softly.

Xiang Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. Yu Ji would never say such words for no reason. Could it be...

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu nodded and said, "I know."

"Brother Yu, then you go eat first." Yu Ji smiled softly and left.

Looking at Yu Ji's back, Xiang Yu clenched his fists.

"Yu'er, your uncle is looking for you." Xiang Liang said in a deep voice, standing not far away.

"Uncle." Xiang Yu bowed respectfully.

"Follow me." Xiang Liang put his hands behind his back, turned around and left.

Xiang Yu hurriedly followed him. In the room, Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Yu coldly: "Yu'er, don't be distracted by a woman."

"Please rest assured, uncle, I won't." Xiang Yu said gritting his teeth.

"That's good." Xiang Liang's expression softened.

Xiang Yu asked, "My uncle asked me to come here, why?"

"Even if there are only three households in Chu, it will be Chu that will destroy Qin." A cold light flashed in Xiang Liang's eyes.

"Uncle, are we going to start an army?" Xiang Yu asked excitedly.

"Yes, now we are surrounded by many righteous men from various countries, led by the nobles of Chu. If we don't rebel now, when will we rebel?" Xiang Liang laughed.

"But... the current Qin Dynasty..." Xiang Yu hesitated. The people now live a pretty good life, and the Qin army is quite powerful. Do they really want to rebel?

"That's why we must rebel even more." Xiang Liang said with a serious expression.

"Before the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms, many people believed that the six kingdoms would be restored, because everyone was used to the Qin Dynasty being the Qin Dynasty and the people of the six kingdoms being the people of the six kingdoms. However, now that the Qin Dynasty has implemented the land system and the household registration system, and with the completion of the two roads, commerce is flowing everywhere, and people from different countries are marrying each other, it won't take many years for the people of our Great Chu to completely become the people of the Qin Dynasty."

"Who will resist the Qin Dynasty then? So we must take advantage of now and start an army immediately."

Xiang Liang's words were so powerful that Xiang Yu couldn't help but nod his head.

"Uncle is right! Then what is the reason for starting a rebellion now?"

……

In the imperial study, Ying Zheng looked at Feng Jie and Meng Yi below.

"Feng Jie, what gift do you think I should give to Lin Anlan?" Ying Zheng asked calmly.

"This... I don't know." Feng Jie shook his head, he was a little puzzled, isn't it just a gift? Why are you asking him?

"Meng Yi, what about you?" Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi.

"Your Majesty, are you testing us?" Meng Yi scratched his head.

"What are you being tested on?" Ying Zheng was stunned.

"Your Majesty, although I am simple-minded, I am not stupid." Meng Yi chuckled.

"Okay, I have already thought of a gift for Miss Lin." Ying Zheng was very calm.

Feng Jie’s face was full of question marks. When did you think of the gift? Why didn’t he know?

"Feng Jie, how are the preparations going?"

Feng Jie quickly replied: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "In that case, let's set off."

"Ah?" Feng Jie was confused again.

"What?" Ying Zheng glared at him in dissatisfaction.

"Yes!" Feng Jie bowed quickly.
