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

Chapter 138 The Fusion of the Three Great Families

"This is the Ding Qin Sword." Ying Zheng explained.

"Ding Qin Sword? Your sword?" Lin Anlan asked in shock.

When she saw the sword, she gripped the armrests of the stool tightly with both hands, and her knuckles turned slightly white.

Ding Qin Sword, the legendary sword that gathers the destiny of heaven and earth, the supreme sword. It can suppress the dragon vein of the Qin Dynasty and is the best sword in the world.

There are many legends about the Ding Qin Sword. Some say it is the Qin Emperor's sword, which can command the people of the Qin Dynasty. Some say it is the divine sword of heaven and earth, which can gather luck and bless the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty.

But no matter what, this sword is a priceless treasure, symbolizing supreme power. It is no less powerful than the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops, and may even be more powerful.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this." Meng Yi and others knelt down and said quickly.

"What do you know? This sword should be given to girl Lin." Ying Zheng waved his hand and said.

Meng Yi and others stopped talking after hearing this. Ying Zheng was right. Only Lin Anlan was worthy of this sword.

"This gift is too expensive. I can't accept it." Lin Anlan shook his head and said.

"I never take back anything I give away. If you don't want it, just return it to the First Emperor in person!" Ying Zheng looked at her and said.

Lin Anlan couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing these somewhat contradictory words. It was not that Ying Zheng said the wrong thing because he was angry. Instead, if he told her not to take the Qin Sword, she should go to the Xianyang Palace or the Qilin Hall in person and return it in front of all the ministers.

But if she really did that, she would probably be drowned in the spit of all the officials!

At this time, Meng Yi looked at Lin Anlan and said, "Mr. Lin, just accept it."

"Since it is a reward from His Majesty, Mr. Lin should accept it." Feng Jie also advised.

"Please accept it, Mr. Lin." Zhang Han also echoed.

"In that case, thank you very much, Your Majesty." Seeing this, Lin Anlan had no choice but to accept it.

"You're welcome." Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan and said.

"Your Majesty, you gave me such a great gift today, and one day I will repay you with the whole world." Lin Anlan looked at Ying Zheng and said.

"It's a deal." Ying Zheng said with a smile after hearing this.

"It's a deal." Lin Anlan nodded heavily.

"Drink." Ying Zheng said, picking up the wine bowl.

"Let's drink." Several people picked up their wine bowls and drank them all.

Lin Anlan suddenly felt a stronger sense of belonging in her heart, and she had truly integrated into this world.

"Girl, do you know Meng Xibai?" Ying Zheng asked Lin Anlan.

Lin Anlan nodded: "Of course I know."

"Can you tell me about it?"

"The Mengxi Bai family is a noble family of the Zhou Dynasty. They have produced many civil and military ministers. They are one of the largest families today, or it can be said that they are a fusion of three major families." Lin Anlan explained.

"In that case, you are indeed a prominent family." Ying Zheng nodded when he heard this.

Lin Anlan said disdainfully: "They are just selfish people who are obsessed with profit."

"Why is this?" Ying Zheng asked in confusion.

"The reason why the Mengxi Bai family is prosperous is because our ancestors made great military achievements. Descendants have been able to thrive and multiply thanks to the blessings of their ancestors," Lin Anlan explained.

"But now, the Mengxibai family is no longer the Mengxibai family of the past. The descendants rely on the protection of their ancestors and do not engage in production. Instead, they bully the people in the village and oppress the common people. It can be said that they have fallen to the extreme."

"I didn't expect Mr. Lin to know so much about the Meng Xibai family." Feng Jie said to Lin Anlan.

"I not only know the Mengxi Bai family, I also know the Li Tang royal family, the Western Han Wang family, the Eastern Han Yuan family, and so on." Lin Anlan smiled and said, "These families were either royal families or powerful families. They were all extremely prosperous, but in the end they could not escape the fate of destruction."

"Why is this?" Ying Zheng asked in confusion.

Lin Anlan replied: "Because they only care about their own interests and never consider the lives of the people."

"So that's how it is." Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng suddenly realized.

"So, if Your Majesty implements land system reform, these big families will resist?" Lin Anlan looked at Ying Zheng and asked.

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, Meng Xibai came to the court a few days ago and hoped that I would give up the land reform, but I refused."

"Then they will definitely sabotage behind the scenes." Lin Anlan said affirmatively after hearing this.

"Why do you think so?" Ying Zheng asked puzzledly.

"Your Majesty, think about it, when they first implemented the Enfeoffment Order, did they say the same thing?"

"Yes, when I first implemented the Enfeoffment Order, these big families also wrote to me, asking me to revoke the order."

"But in the end they still did it, but they added a lot of tricks, right?" Lin Anlan continued.

Ying Zheng nodded again: "Indeed."

"This is the way for a big family to survive." Lin Anlan said with a smile after hearing this.

"What should we do?"

Lin Anlan waved his hand: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, leave this matter to me."

"I wonder how Mr. Lin plans to deal with Meng Xibai?" Meng Yi looked at her and asked.

Hearing this, Lin Anlan smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why you didn't deal with Meng Xibai is because of the old relationship between our ancestors."

"Yes, the Mengxibai clan has followed the Qin Dynasty for hundreds of years, and I can't bear to take action against them." Ying Zheng said with a sigh.

"But the Meng Xibai family doesn't think so. Relying on the influence of their ancestors, they are tyrannical and oppressive to the local people. Now they want to stop the land reform. They are really vicious." Lin Anlan said coldly.

"The reason why Mengxi Baishi does this is because they feel that they have made great contributions and the Qin Dynasty cannot do without them." Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng said helplessly.

Lin Anlan snorted disdainfully: "But your majesty has already given them enough things, it is they who are greedy."

"That's right, but this matter is quite tricky and requires long-term consideration." Ying Zheng nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, it is actually very simple to deal with the Meng Xibai family."

"Girl, what good idea do you have?" Ying Zheng asked Lin Anlan.

"The reason why the Mengxi Bai family is like this is that they own too many fiefs."

"That's right. The Mengxibai family has many fiefdoms, and the grain they harvest every year is piled up like a mountain." Ying Zheng nodded and said.

"These fiefs are what the Qin soldiers dream of. They fight bravely on the front lines just to get more fiefs." Lin Anlan explained, "But Meng Xibai got them easily, while the people worked hard for a year but could only get enough food and clothing, so they are naturally dissatisfied."

"Mr. Lin, are you saying that the Meng Xibai family violated the interests of the Qin soldiers?" Feng Jie asked uncertainly after hearing this.

Lin Anlan nodded: "Yes, the Mengxi Bai family has too many fiefs, which has seriously infringed the interests of the Qin soldiers."

"Then what do we think, Mr. Yilin?" Feng Jie looked at her and asked.

"It's very simple. Secretly support the Meng Xibai family and let them expand." Lin Anlan said with a smile after hearing this.

"What do you mean, girl Lin?" Ying Zheng asked puzzledly.
