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

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little tipsy. Han Xin and Long Ju, who were a little reserved at first, were now much more relaxed. Meng Yi, who was standing by, was not idle either. He held the wine jar in his left hand and kept taking meat from the grill with his right hand. While eating, he also provoked others.

"Meng Yi, your appetite is amazing." Feng Jie said to Meng Yi.

"We haven't finished eating yet." Meng Yi said incoherently while holding the roasted suckling pig.

Xia Wuqi couldn't help but complain. "You eat too much."

"How come I didn't know you were such a big eater?" Ying Zheng also said to Meng Yi.

"I don't dare to do that on normal days, but today is different." Meng Yi said confidently.

"You are really wronged." Lin Anlan couldn't help but tease when he heard it.

"That's right." Meng Yi said proudly.

Zhang Han handed a wooden box to Lin Anlan, his face flushed as he said, "This was made by the Shaofu. He said it was made according to your design."

"What is this?" Lin Anlan took the wooden box and asked puzzledly.

"Seismometer." Zhang Han explained.

"Can you measure the direction of the earthquake?" Lin Anlan asked in shock.

"Okay." Zhang Han nodded.

"I didn't expect that the Shaofu actually made it." Lin Anlan said excitedly as he looked at the seismometer in his hand.

"Thanks to Mr. Lin." Zhang Han glanced at Lin Anlan and said with his head down, "This was made by the craftsmen of the Shaofu. It is made of brass. There are eight dragons with their heads facing eight directions. Each dragon has a ball in its mouth, and below are eight black tortoises."

"This instrument is called a seismograph. Once the beads fall in a certain direction, it indicates that an earthquake has occurred somewhere."

Lin Anlan took the seismometer, touched the patterns on it and said.

"Mr. Lin, how do you know this thing is called a seismometer?" Zhang Han asked in shock.

"Has Mr. Lin seen this thing before?" Ying Zheng also stared at Lin Anlan and asked.

Lin Anlan shook his head and said, "I've never seen it, but I've heard of it."

Zhang Han sighed deeply: "This is something that the craftsmen of the Shaofu have just invented. Mr. Lin is the first person to see it."

"I was negligent. I didn't expect that the ancients were so smart that they could make this thing." Lin Anlan said in a low voice after hearing this.

"What do you mean, Mr. Lin?" Ying Zheng asked in confusion.

"The seismometer that I know of was invented by a man named Zhang Heng...well, that was hundreds of years later." Lin Anlan explained perfunctorily.

"How does Mr. Lin know what will happen a hundred years later?" Meng Yi asked in surprise.

Lin Anlan did not answer but asked: "Do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe it." Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan and said.

"Mr. Zhang, these craftsmen are the precious wealth of the Shaofu. They must be trained well. Each of them should take two apprentices and record the invention process to avoid the interruption of the inheritance." Lin Anlan looked at Zhang Han and said.

"Yes." Although Zhang Han didn't understand what Lin Anlan meant, he still nodded.

Lin Anlan then looked at the others and said, "You may not know how much help this thing will have in the future, but this thing can indeed become something that changes the world. Within ten years, the world will be very different."

"What do you mean, girl Lin?" Ying Zheng asked with a frown.

"You will know later." Lin Anlan did not explain, but kept it a secret.

Although Ying Zheng and others were curious, they did not ask any more questions when they saw that she was unwilling to say more.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin." Zhang Han bowed deeply to Lin Anlan.

"General Zhang, you are embarrassing me." Seeing this, Lin Anlan hurriedly helped Zhang Han up.

Zhang Han waved his hand and said, "Mr. Lin deserves it."

"This is the mansion I specially found for Mr. Lin. It covers an area of ​​100 acres." At this time, Meng Yi took out a land deed, placed it in front of Lin Anlan and said.

"This..." Lin Anlan looked at the deed in front of him, a little hesitant.

Meng Yi stuffed the deed into Lin Anlan's hand and said, "Mr. Lin, keep it. It will look more presentable with a mansion."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Meng." Lin Anlan no longer refused and accepted the deed.

"I originally wanted to introduce my daughter to Mr. Lin as sworn brothers, but now is not the right time." Meng Yi said to Lin Anlan.

"Mr. Meng is joking." Lin Anlan said with a smile when he heard this.

"When the time is right, I hope Mr. Lin will not despise me." Meng Yi said to Lin Anlan.

"Okay." Lin Anlan nodded.

Then Feng Jie took out a box and handed it to her: "This is a gift from me, sir."

"What is this?" Lin Anlan asked as he took the box.

Feng Jie explained: "This is a sword from the previous dynasty. Although it is not as sharp as the sword you wear, it is also quite sharp."

"Prime Minister Feng, you actually hid such a good thing." Meng Yi heard this and glared at the former.

"This is what I asked someone to find for me." Feng Jie said hurriedly after hearing this.

"Thank you." Lin Anlan thanked Feng Jie.

Hearing this, Feng Jie quickly shook his head: "You're welcome, sir."

Seeing that several people had given their own gifts, Zhang Han was not to be outdone and took out a brocade box from behind: "This is my gift, please accept it, Mr. Lin." Zhang

"What is this?" Lin Anlan took the brocade box and asked puzzledly.

“This is thousand-year-old ginseng.”

Xia Wuqie also came over and said, "Mr. Lin is still growing, so this thing is very good for him."

"Thank you." Lin Anlan said to the few people.

"Mr. Lin, you're too polite." The three of them said in unison upon hearing this.

Everyone's eyes turned to Ying Zheng, wanting to see what their Majesty would take out.

Ying Zheng took out a box from his sleeve and placed it in front of Lin Anlan.

"What is this?" Lin Anlan took the box and asked puzzledly.

"Guess." Ying Zheng kept it a secret.

"Cloth?" Lin Anlan asked tentatively.

Ying Zheng shook his head.

"Agate?" Lin Anlan asked again.

Ying Zheng shook his head again.

"Jade?" Lin Anlan continued to ask.

Ying Zheng still shook his head.

"Then I can't guess." Lin Anlan shrugged and said.

"This is a promise." Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan and said.

Lin Anlan became interested after hearing this: "I'd like to hear more details."

"If you perform well in the next war, I will confer you the official position you have always dreamed of and you will be able to command millions of soldiers and horses." Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan and said.

Unexpectedly, Lin Anlan shook his head: "I don't want to."

"Why?" Ying Zheng asked unhappily upon hearing this.

Lin Anlan explained: "Being an official in the court and commanding a large army is not a good thing for a woman."

Ying Zheng did not get angry but laughed: "Are you a woman? Well, I mean, do you look like a woman?"

"I..." Lin Anlan was about to retort, but suddenly stopped. Her actions really didn't seem like a woman's. It wasn't that she was conceited. Throughout the entire Qin Dynasty, even among men, there were few who could compare to her.

Suddenly, she glanced at Ying Zheng's feet: "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

"This is actually the gift I want to give you." Ying Zheng took out a larger box from under his feet, placed it in front of Lin Anlan and said.

"What is this?" Lin Anlan asked puzzledly, looking at the box in front of him.

Ying Zheng motioned for her to open it: "Open it and take a look."

"Sword?" Lin Anlan opened the box and asked while looking at the things inside.
