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

After a while, Lin Anlan went to the blacksmith shop again and bought two new hoes. Now, her potatoes have grown almost to maturity, and it won't be long before they can be harvested.

She counted the time every day, waiting for the potatoes to ripen.

On the other hand, Lin Anlan was still considering how to deliver the medicine to the First Emperor. This matter was very complicated and many factors had to be taken into consideration.

Firstly, the identity of the First Emperor was too sensitive and ordinary people could not have access to him at all; secondly, the First Emperor was in a high position and had seen countless good things, so he would definitely not look down on ordinary gifts; finally, and most importantly, if the gifts given could not have any effect on the First Emperor, then all her plans would be ruined.

Fortunately, Zhao Gao has been eliminated and the prestige of the First Emperor has been restored.

This created favorable conditions for her plan.

During the following period, Lin Anlan has been busy with movable type printing. Now, movable type printing has been completed for more than half, and only the final paper production is left. She plans to borrow the organization of the Shaofu, one of the Nine Ministers, to help her find some craftsmen to speed up the progress.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Is Mr. Lin here?"

It was Meng Yi's voice! They had indeed arrived as promised!

Lin Anlan raised her lips slightly and hurried out, only to see Meng Yi stepping on the hoe she had deliberately placed at the door. Then the hoe fell and hit her calf.

With a scream, she sat on the doorstep, covering her calves.

Meng Yi hurriedly put the hoe away, stood at the gate of the yard with an embarrassed look on his face, and asked carefully: "Mr. Lin, is your leg okay?"

Lin Anlan frowned and shook his head: "I'm fine."

"Is this true? It's all my fault. I wasn't paying attention and accidentally tripped." Meng Yi felt very guilty.

Lin Anlan waved his hand: "Mr. Meng, don't blame yourself. No one would have thought of such a thing."

Meng Yi sighed and said, "I'd better go find a doctor for you."

“No need!” Lin Anlan quickly stopped him, “Really, please wait for me for a while, I will finish digging these pieces of land.”

"Girl, you should take a rest first." Ying Zheng advised.

Lin Anlan gritted his teeth and said, "No, we must finish digging today!"

Ying Zheng had no choice but to stand aside and wait quietly.

Lin Anlan was seen limping to the ground with two crutches and continued to dig. Meng Yi couldn't bear to watch it anymore and walked over: "Mr. Lin, let me do it."

"No need!" Lin Anlan dodged stubbornly.

Meng Yi said in a deep voice: "I am a man, and I have better physical strength than you!"

Lin Anlan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help."

Meng Yi took the hoe, jumped into the ground and started digging. Lin Anlan gave instructions and told him how to dig. Ying Zheng's face was uncertain, and he suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a trap set by the little girl.

But now that things had come to this, he had no way out and had to join in the digging.

"Yes, that's it, just pull it hard. Yeah, not bad, keep it up." Lin Anlan sat on the edge of the field, crossed his legs, and played with a dogtail grass in his hand, looking like a real landlord.

While digging potatoes, Ying Zheng asked, "Girl, can this potato really yield 5,000 kilograms per mu?"

In fact, when he asked this question, he already had the answer in his mind. After all, how long had he and Meng Yi been digging? There were already several hundred kilograms of potatoes. The reason why he asked again was nothing more than to confirm it again!

Lin Anlan thought about it and answered with certainty: "It will be no less than 5,000 kilograms, unless there is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, I promise you!"

Ying Zheng and Meng Yi looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes: Five thousand kilograms! This is comparable to three thousand kilograms of rice! Moreover, this is just a conservative estimate!

The two of them worked again, even harder. Soon, they had pulled up dozens of potato plants. One of them had more than a dozen potatoes. Ying Zheng carefully picked up a potato and took a look at it, and couldn't help but gasp.

"Girl, this potato must weigh about one pound, right?" Ying Zheng said in shock.

Meng Yi also picked up a potato and weighed it: "At least one pound!"

"Yes, this is the first time I've seen potatoes this big!" Lin Anlan exclaimed.

Meng Yi suddenly remembered something: "Mr. Lin, you just said there is another crop here?"

Lin Anlan pointed to a small piece of land next to him and said, "Look, right there. That's the sweet potato I mentioned before."

The two looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a few green plants growing on the ground.

Looking at the limp sweet potato leaves clinging to the ground, Ying Zheng asked with some doubt, "You said before that the yield per mu of sweet potato could reach 5,000 kilograms?"

Lin Anlan thought about it and shook his head: "Probably more than potatoes."

"What?" The two were shocked again.

The yield per mu of potatoes is already scary enough, but I didn’t expect that the yield of sweet potatoes is even more exaggerated!

The two of them couldn't wait to run over and start digging. As expected, the sweet potatoes were huge, one sweet potato was worth several potatoes!

Ying Zheng picked up a sweet potato with trembling hands and couldn't help but sigh: "Girl, you are really the benefactor of the Great Qin! With these two artifacts, the people of the Great Qin will never go hungry again!"

Lin Anlan smiled slightly: "Brother, I plan to give these two crops to the First Emperor."

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan seriously: "Girl, please accept my greeting!"

Lin Anlan dodged quickly: "Brother, you must not do that! According to age, you are my elder, you are embarrassing me! And according to the saying in my hometown, if the elders pay respect to the younger, the younger will be struck by lightning!"

However, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "This is what you deserve! Struck by lightning? Let it come to me!"

After saying that, he bowed down directly.

……

When I finished everything, it was already dark.

Lin Anlan, Ying Zheng and Meng Yi sat by the fire, ready to enjoy today's harvest. She started a big fire and threw a few large sweet potatoes into it. Because she had learned wilderness survival skills in her previous life, starting a fire was not a difficult task for her.

Ying Zheng and Meng Yi sat aside to rest.

When the sweet potatoes were almost done roasting, Lin Anlan returned to the kitchen, took out two jars of wine and some stir-fried dishes, and said with a smile, "Are you hungry too?"

Ying Zheng nodded: "I am indeed a little hungry."

"That's good, let's eat this tonight!" Lin Anlan pointed to the sweet potatoes in the fire and said with a smile.

"Okay!" Meng Yi swallowed his saliva. He had been craving for it for a long time.
