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

"You have a point. Well, I will spare Li Si's life for now. However, I still have to go to war against the Xiongnu!"

Meng Yi had long guessed the Emperor's intention, so he took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to fight against the Xiongnu."

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi, thought about it, and then shook his head: "You can't."

Meng Yi wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Feng Jie. The Imperial Censor walked into the Imperial Study, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Please stand up, my dear Lord Feng." Ying Zheng did not expect Feng Jie to come.

The latter stood up, thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have considered it, and what you said makes sense. It is better for us to establish contact with the Donghu. However, Your Majesty is thinking about how to conquer the Xiongnu. If you want to establish contact with the Donghu in a peaceful way, I do have an idea."

Ying Zheng didn't expect Feng Jie to say that, so he became interested.

"Oh? Tell me!"

Seeing that the First Emperor was interested, Feng Jie told him his ideas one by one.

After listening to Feng Jie's idea, Ying Zheng touched his chin, thought for a while and said, "It is a good idea, but it is not urgent. The reason why I am so anxious to attack the Xiongnu is because the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is too high. If these two crops are planted in the Xiongnu, the harvest is estimated to be higher. Therefore, what I want is not the Xiongnu, but the entire northern desert and grassland!"

"Your Majesty, what are potatoes and sweet potatoes? How come I have never heard of them?"

Feng Jie stroked his beard, unable to figure out what the potatoes and sweet potatoes that the First Emperor was talking about were.

Ying Zheng smiled when he heard this and said, "I can't explain this to you clearly at once. So, you go back and wait for my notification. I will take you to a place where you will see the potatoes and sweet potatoes I mentioned!"

"Well, I'll wait and see!"

Seeing Feng Jie leave, Ying Zheng thought for a moment and ordered someone to call Wang Ben and Shaofu Zhang Han.

Soon, the two of them arrived outside the imperial study and waited.

"Your Majesty, Wang Ben and Zhang Han are here," said Meng Yi.

Ying Zheng nodded, stood up and walked out. When Wang Ben and Zhang Han saw him and Meng Yi coming out, they immediately knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

He walked straight ahead without saying anything. Meng Yi and Wang Ben looked at each other and immediately followed him.

"Zhang Han, do you feel that the position of Shaofu is unfair to you?" Ying Zheng suddenly asked.

Zhang Han was shocked and shook his head quickly, saying, "I dare not!"

"Don't dare?" asked the First Emperor in an unhappy tone.

"Yes, I dare not." Zhang Han lowered his head, not daring to look at the Emperor who had unified the world.

Ying Zheng suddenly stopped, looked at the one in front and said, "Since you don't dare, it proves that you still have this idea. I understand that you all think that the position of Shaofu is useless. But today I want to let you see what it means that there are always people better than you."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Wang Ben asked cautiously.

The First Emperor glanced at Wang Ben and said, "You'll know when you get there."

Meng Yi looked at Wang Ben and Zhang Han with puzzled expressions, thought for a moment, and approached them and said, "Just pretend that you don't know your Majesty and me. Remember, don't reveal our identities. Also, this girl's surname is Lin, so you can just call her Mr. Lin."

Wang Ben and Zhang Han were confused and a little surprised, but they still nodded.

Arriving at Lin Anlan's farm, she was tending to potato and sweet potato seedlings. After meeting Wang Li, she smiled and said, "Brother Wang Li, thank you so much today. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to finish it so quickly. How about staying and having a couple of drinks with me tonight? It happens that I have some snacks to go with the wine."

Wang Li was about to say that it was inconvenient for him to stay the night when he saw the First Emperor and Meng Yi not far away. He shouted in surprise, "Father?"

Lin Anlan followed his gaze and saw the First Emperor and Meng Yi and their group of four walking towards this side. She wondered, why are these two people here at this time? Who are the other two?

Lin Anlan put down what he was holding, walked over to greet them and asked, "How come you have time to come to my place today?"

"Could it be that you want to try my cooking again?"

Hearing this, Meng Yi smiled and said, "The one who knows me best is Mr. Lin!"

Lin Anlan smiled and was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of Wang Li's shocked expression. Then she realized that these people might be of high status. She cautiously asked, "Brother Wang Li, is this your father?"

"Yes, this is my father." Wang Li nodded.

Lin Anlan didn't expect Wang Li's identity to be so complicated, so he looked at the others and asked, "Who are these two..."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Miss Lin, these two are my friends, Wang Fen and Zhang Gan. Today we heard that you have delicious food here, so we came here specially to satisfy our appetite."

Hearing this, Lin Anlan quickly said, "Don't dare!"

"Since you are my brother's father and my brother's friend, please come in."

Ying Zheng and Meng Yi greeted Wang Ben and Zhang Han to sit down in a very familiar manner. He also poured tea for everyone skillfully, as if he was the host here. However, Wang Ben and Zhang Han were shocked. His Majesty the First Emperor personally poured tea for them. It was unique!

Well, I have to drink this cup of tea slowly, it may only happen once in my life!

Seeing this, Lin Anlan didn't say much, but brought the dishes up with Wang Li.

Ying Zheng and Meng Yi frowned when they saw the table full of dishes. Why was it different from before? Wang Ben and Zhang Han were even more confused and didn't understand what was going on.

"Mr. Lin, what delicious food have you made?" Meng Yi asked curiously, looking at the dishes on the table.

Lin Anlan smiled and pointed at the copper pot: "This is called hot pot. After the food inside is cooked, just dip it in this sauce and eat it. Come and try it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, several people couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and start eating the meat.

"Wow! Delicious! It's really delicious!" Meng Yi praised while eating.

"It's really delicious!" Wang Ben and Zhang Han couldn't help but praise.

Ying Zheng was much calmer, and seeing that Lin Anlan was taking care of them and had no time to eat, he kept picking up food for her. Lin Anlan had no choice but to take another bowl and eat quickly.

For a moment, the dinner table was filled with the clinking of glasses and the lively atmosphere!

After eating and drinking, Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan and said, "Girl, is there anything I can help you with?"

Lin Anlan smiled sheepishly: "To be honest, I do have a favor to ask of you."

"Just tell me, girl!" Ying Zheng said seriously.
