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

"Enfeoffment is not feasible." Lin Anlan decisively rejected the proposal. "The Zhou Dynasty is a bloody example. Enfeoffment will inevitably lead to fighting among the princes, and the people will fall into war again."

"Girl, do you have any good ideas?" Ying Zheng agreed with Lin Anlan's words. He also felt that enfeoffment was not a good idea, so he continued to ask Lin Anlan for her opinion.

"In fact, the fundamental reason for the enfeoffment is that the emperor could not control all the troops, so he divided them among the princes and asked them to manage them on his behalf. But over time, the princes became disloyal and rebelled," Lin Anlan analyzed.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Ying Zheng frowned. This was indeed a problem.

"It's actually very simple. As long as the military power is in the hands of Your Majesty, this problem can be easily solved." Lin Anlan expressed her thoughts.

"With the military power in my hands, I am naturally not afraid of rebellion." Ying Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

"In fact, the root of rebellion lies in the civilians. Civilians will have the idea of ​​rebellion only when they are dissatisfied with their lives. If they want to rebel, they must have military forces, and the military forces come from civilians." Lin Anlan's words made Ying Zheng's eyes light up.

"As long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, no one will rebel. Only when the Qin Dynasty becomes a truly prosperous era can the problem be fundamentally solved."

Lin Anlan's words made Ying Zheng suddenly enlightened.

"What the girl said is absolutely right. This is the way to fundamentally eliminate rebellion." Ying Zheng agreed with Lin Anlan's words.

"In addition, we can strengthen the legal system so that people have laws to follow," Lin Anlan added.

"Good, it's good to have a law to follow." Ying Zheng appreciated Lin Anlan's words. He didn't expect that Lin Anlan could come up with such a brilliant idea.

Lin Anlan suddenly changed the subject: "The common people are the most pitiful. Whenever there is a war, the common people will be displaced and eat each other's children."

"Why?" Ying Zheng was puzzled.

"Because no matter who becomes the emperor, he will not let the people starve to death. Only war will make the people starve." Lin Anlan's words made Ying Zheng a little confused.

Lin Anlan sighed and continued, "How many people died before and after the fall of the Shang Dynasty? How many people died during the Shang Dynasty? How many people died when the dynasty changed?"

"It is in troubled times that people are displaced." Lin Anlan's words were firm.

"Then what do you think should be done, girl?"

"Unify the world and prevent the people from suffering from war." Lin Anlan's words were loud and clear.

"This..." It was the first time that Ying Zheng heard such remarks, and he was a little confused.

Seeing Ying Zheng was hesitant, Lin Anlan counselled him: "Your Majesty, think about it, isn't it true that many people die every time a dynasty changes?"

"That's right." Ying Zheng nodded.

"Why? Because every emperor has different policies, and the officials are also different. Once the dynasty changes, the officials and emperors will inevitably be different, and the policies will also be different, and the people will have to go through a turmoil." Lin Anlan analyzed.

"But if the world is unified, with only one emperor and one policy, no matter who you are, you can live and work in peace and contentment without having to wander around. Isn't this protecting the people?"

Lin Anlan’s words made Ying Zheng fall into deep thought.

"The girl is so talented that I am ashamed of myself." After a long time, Ying Zheng sighed and expressed his admiration for Lin Anlan.

"Your Majesty is too modest. I am just standing on your shoulders." Lin Anlan said modestly.

"What do you think of Lu Confucianism?" Ying Zheng asked Lin Anlan for his opinion.

"The Lu Confucians are just a group of scholars. They can't cause any big waves, so we can spare their lives. Moreover, they can serve as a contrast to the Legalists, making the people believe in the Legalists more." Lin Anlan didn't care about the Lu Confucians.

"You are absolutely right. I think so too." Ying Zheng agreed with Lin Anlan's words.

"In fact, we can also use Lu Confucianism to divert conflicts and increase people's recognition of Legalism."

"Girl, have you read the book of Lord Shang?" Ying Zheng asked Lin Anlan tentatively.

"No." Lin Anlan shook his head.

Ying Zheng was somewhat puzzled: "Where did that girl get so many of her ideas to be similar to those of Shang Junshu?"

"Well... I learned it in my dream." Lin Anlan made up an excuse to get away with it.

Although Ying Zheng didn't believe it, he didn't ask any further questions.

"Sir, can you lend me some gold?" Lin Anlan looked at Zhang Han next to him.

"Okay." Although Zhang Han didn't know what Lin Anlan was going to do, he still agreed.

"Thank you." Lin Anlan looked at Zhang Han gratefully.

"I wonder how much you want to borrow, sir?" Meng Yi looked at Lin Anlan curiously.

"This is a secret, you will know it later." Lin Anlan said mysteriously.

……

The next day, Lin Anlan planned to travel far away and hired a few coachmen.

When Ying Zheng heard this, he was very surprised: "Where are you going, girl? Can you take me with you?"

"Your Majesty, you are busy with government affairs and cannot leave Beijing." Lin Anlan decisively refused.

"Oh!" Ying Zheng sighed and said nothing more.

"My goal this time is to make final preparations for the attack on the Huns." Lin Anlan looked at Ying Zheng and stated his purpose.

"In that case, girl, what else do you need? Just ask." Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan with trust in his eyes.

"So I just borrowed some gold from General Zhang." Lin Anlan turned and looked at Zhang Han.

"No problem. How much do you want to borrow?" Zhang Han was very straightforward.

"I will return the gold soon, General Zhang, don't worry." Lin Anlan expressed his appreciation for Zhang Han's straightforwardness.

Zhang Han waved his hand generously: "No need to pay it back. If it's not enough, you can come to me again."

"Sir, do you want a guard to accompany you?" Meng Yi asked hurriedly when he saw this.

"No need, I like to keep a low profile." Lin Anlan rejected Meng Yi's kindness.

"Now that sir is gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat." Meng Yi sighed, looking sad.

Lin Anlan's mouth twitched: "General Meng, you are a great general, you shouldn't be like this, right?"

Ying Zheng laughed: "Girl, you don't know, Meng Yi is reluctant to part with the food you cooked! After you leave, we should also study the thing called cement, and pave the road of the imperial city first."

"Well, Your Majesty is wise. Cement must be developed as soon as possible. I will be back then. Once cement becomes popular, its economic benefits will be immeasurable."

Lin Anlan fully agreed with Ying Zheng's words.

"I wonder if you are confident in going this time?" Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan, as if he wanted to get a positive answer from her.

"100%." ​​Lin Anlan was full of confidence.

"Sir, how should we deal with the Huns?" asked Zhang Han.

"Kill all the old, weak, sick and disabled, and leave the young and strong behind." As soon as Lin Anlan said this, he realized that what he said was a bit cruel.

"Sir, this..." Meng Yi felt a little reluctant.

"General Meng, I know you can't bear it, but you have to know that our Qin soldiers are also human beings. If we leave these Huns behind, we will need to allocate troops to look after them. If they rebel, the loss will outweigh the gain." Lin Anlan's words made Meng Yi silent.
