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

Chapter 35: The Qin Empire’s treasury is empty?

"This is..." Ying Zheng took a look and his eyes widened immediately, his face full of shock. "Did you really come up with this?"

"Your Majesty, these are all proposed by Mr. Lin Anlan, and I just wrote them down." Zhang Han replied respectfully, "In addition, there are some other ideas, which I have also written down. Please have a look at them, Your Majesty!"

He presented his clothes to Ying Zheng, who took a look and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Lin Anlan..." Ying Zheng muttered to himself, with a gleam in his eyes.

"The girl's talent is comparable to that of Shang Jun!"

Shang Jun is the famous reformer, Shang Yang.

Zhang Han also sighed: "If Ms. Lin was not a woman, I would really think she was someone's disciple."

"So what if she's a girl?" Ying Zheng smiled and said unconcernedly, "Her talent is probably even better than Shang Jun's!"

"Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely right." Zhang Han agreed deeply.

Ying Zheng looked at the former and asked, "How do you plan to do this?"

"I think it should be implemented as soon as possible." Zhang Han thought for a moment and replied, "If anyone dares to obstruct, I will definitely take him down!"

"Ah."

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "You just said, is there anything else?"

"Exactly!"

Zhang Han quickly took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Ying Zheng: "This is the picture drawn by Ms. Lin. According to her, this is called a saddle, and this is called a horseshoe."

"Oh?"

Ying Zheng took the picture and looked at it carefully, frowning slightly. He looked at the strange pattern, a little puzzled: "What is this?"

Zhang Han explained: "Your Majesty, you don't know that this saddle is placed on the horse's back for riding, and this horseshoe is nailed on the horse's hoof to protect the hoof from wear and tear."

He told Ying Zheng what Lin Anlan said in detail.

After hearing his words, Ying Zheng's face suddenly changed: "Are you serious?"

"Absolutely true!" Zhang Han nodded seriously.

"This……"

Ying Zheng's hands were shaking as he held the blueprint, and his eyes were filled with shock. He had thought that Lin Anlan was only good at politics and military affairs, but he didn't expect that she was actually a craftsman!

Such a genius is truly a gift from God!

"Pass on my orders."

Ying Zheng put away the blueprints and ordered solemnly: "After the reform of the Shaofu, immediately start mass production according to the blueprints. I want to see the finished product within ten days!"

"Send it to the frontier!"

"Here!"

Zhang Han responded loudly.

The next morning, Ying Zheng announced a series of orders at the court meeting: "From now on, the Qin Dynasty will implement a distribution system based on work, and no private hoarding is allowed! Light industry should be vigorously developed, and the status of craftsmen should be raised to the same level as farmers! Anyone who invents a sharp weapon can report to the Shaofu, and once it is adopted, there will be a huge reward!"

Ying Zheng's loud voice echoed throughout the hall, and all the ministers were delighted when they heard it.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

The Qin Dynasty is now in a state of disrepair and needs such talents to promote development. These orders are exactly what the ministers have always wanted.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Right Prime Minister Feng Jie stepped forward and congratulated: "Nowadays, the Great Qin is full of talented people. It is a blessing for your Majesty and the Great Qin!"

"That's right!"

Other ministers also echoed.

In Qilin Hall, the court meeting is still going on.

"The Shaofu system was reformed from a craftsman system to a recruitment system."

"The imperial examination system is included in the assessment, and both the civil and military examinations are included in the assessment."

"..."

Ying Zheng issued one order after another, and his ministers discussed it a lot, all of them believed that this was a reflection of the great Qin's national strength.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." At this moment, Feng Jie stood up.

"What do you want to say, my dear?" Ying Zheng looked at him and asked puzzledly.

"Your Majesty, I want to remind you that the Qin treasury... is empty!"

As soon as Feng Jie finished speaking, the whole hall fell silent. The smile on Ying Zheng's face froze, and the ministers lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

"The Qin treasury is actually empty?" Ying Zheng's voice was cold. "What on earth is going on?"

Feng Jie was relieved to see that Ying Zheng did not blame him, and he slowly explained: "Your Majesty, you don't know that over the years, the six kings have been fighting for hegemony, and the long-term wars have led to huge expenditures for the treasury. In addition, Daqin has a series of projects, such as the Great Wall, Afang Palace, etc., which also cost a lot of money. And those alchemists, the cost of refining elixirs is even more expensive."

"Therefore, the national treasury has already been depleted greatly, coupled with the recent military supplies to the Great Wall..."

Feng Jie didn't say anything else, but glanced at Zhang Han. Obviously, all this was because of the latter.

"Bastard!"

Ying Zheng was so angry that his face turned blue. He knew that the alchemists' way of refining elixirs and seeking immortality was simply a trick. At the beginning, he was helpless and could only try his best, but he didn't expect the cost to be so huge.

But that guy Xu Fu, who took 300 boys and girls to sea to search for the elixir of immortality, has not returned yet, and has wasted so much money in vain.

But even so, the national strength of the Qin Dynasty can still be maintained.

But now it seems that is not the case!

Ying Zheng looked at everyone and said, "My dear ministers, is there any way to solve this problem?"

The ministers were silent. Ying Zheng rubbed his forehead with his hand and felt a headache. Any strategy needs economic support.

It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!

"Your Majesty, I have a plan." Meng Yi suddenly stood up and whispered, "Perhaps we can ask Mr. Lin for help in this matter!"

"Lin girl?"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up: "Okay, then go find her!"

After the court session, Ying Zheng and Meng Yi changed into casual clothes and took a carriage to Lin Anlan's residence.

At this time, Lin Anlan was busy in the farmhouse. There were many black granular objects, a big pot, etc. in front of her. She was studying how to purify coarse salt.

"Mr. Lin!"

Meng Yi greeted him outside the door.

Lin Anlan looked up and was immediately surprised: "Mr. Meng, why is it you? Come in and sit down!"

"This time I came here because I want to ask you something." Meng Yi and Ying Zheng walked in and said with a smile.

Lin Anlan invited them warmly: "But it's better to come at the right time than to come early. I'm going to cook too. Let's eat together."

"Thank you very much, young lady." Meng Yi nodded with a smile.

"It's okay." Lin Anlan smiled and said as he cooked, "It's not anything special. They're all grown at home."

"You're welcome, girl." Meng Yi and Ying Zheng sat down.

Lin Anlan asked, "I wonder why you two are here?"

"Alas." Ying Zheng sighed and said faintly, "I am poor."

poverty?

Lin Anlan was stunned and a little confused.

"Cough cough..."

Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and sighed, "Girl, you don't know that the treasury of the Great Qin has long been empty. Today, the Great Qin is powerful, but it doesn't even have enough food to feed the army. I am very worried about His Majesty the First Emperor!"

"So that's it!"

Lin Anlan had a look of understanding.

Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at her in surprise: "Why, girl, do you think this is a small problem?"
