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

Chapter 39 This guy likes to confiscate property

At the court meeting, Zhang Han proudly showed Ying Zheng the horseshoes and saddles he and a group of craftsmen had developed. These two things greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

After seeing it, Ying Zheng was also very satisfied, and immediately ordered him to make it as soon as possible and then transport it to the border.

At this time, Wang Ben stood up and said: "If the soldiers work overtime, the daily output can be doubled!"

Ying Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to say a few words of praise when he suddenly heard the minister next to him stand up.

"Your Majesty, the national treasury is now overwhelmed. I am afraid..."

As for the problem that had troubled him a few days ago, he could now look at everyone with a smile and said softly: "I have found a way to solve the problem of the treasury deficit."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers present pricked up their ears.

Yesterday, His Majesty the First Emperor mentioned the deficit in the treasury, which made them panic, fearing that His Majesty would ask them to contribute money. But now His Majesty Bi said that he had found a way, which made them all relieved.

Feng Jie asked cautiously, "I don't know, Your Majesty, what good plan do you have?"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. Since someone has embezzled my money, I will just confiscate their homes!"

Feng Jie was shocked: "Ah? Your Majesty, this..."

Ying Zheng's face darkened: "Why, do you have any objections?"

Feng Jie's face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down and said, "No, no objection!"

"That's good." Ying Zheng snorted coldly, he stood up and waved his sleeves, "In two days, I will let you see the results."

After returning to the palace, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a little proud.

In fact, after he came back from Lin Anlan's place yesterday, he had already anticipated what Feng Jie would say today. So, he specially consulted the girl and got this answer.

Of course, this was just something Lin Anlan said casually.

After all, this guy’s favorite thing is to confiscate people’s homes. When he bought wine from Lin Anlan, Lin Anlan mentioned it many times.

As for the consequences of this sentence, Ying Zheng himself will have to bear them.

As expected, the day after Ying Zheng said this, countless officials knelt down and begged for mercy, willing to confiscate all their wealth, just asking Ying Zheng to spare their lives.

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded, indicating that he could give them a chance.

Immediately afterwards, he issued an order to promote the spirit of integrity throughout the Qin territory.

At one time, countless wealth was sent into the national treasury.

Feng Jie was stunned when he saw all these gold and silver treasures, while Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "This is just the beginning, there will be more later. Moreover, the merchants will also send a lot of money."

Ying Zheng did not forget what Lin Anlan told him about the merchant.

She once said that merchants were the richest group of people, and they controlled most of the wealth in the world. However, because merchants had a low status in Daqin, few people were willing to become merchants.

But even so, this does not mean that businessmen have no means.

As long as they operate properly, merchants can also bring considerable income to Daqin.

Ying Zheng handed the matter over to Feng Jie, and asked him to work with Meng Yi. On the one hand, it was because Feng Jie was in charge of the Qin Dynasty's purse, and on the other hand, it was because Feng Jie was smart enough.

He came from a noble family and had no aversion to businessmen, so it was most appropriate for him to handle businessmen's affairs.

In the next few days, Ying Zheng asked Feng Jie to send money to the Shaofu to urge the production of light industry, while he arranged an identity for Xia Wuqie and made him his imperial physician.

Now in Daqin, everything is on the right track.

According to Lin Anlan, the next thing to do is to wait. Wait until the national strength of the Qin Dynasty becomes stronger, wait until the people's lives get better and better, wait until the right time comes, and then the Qin cavalry can flatten everything.

Ying Zheng was very confident about his plan. The only thing that worried him was his health.

Just now, Xia Wuqie told him that he only had ten days left to live. Even though he looked much better now than before, his life span was almost over...

This conclusion was drawn by the former after observing him for a long time. Although he was prepared in his heart, he still found it hard to accept the news.

On the other side, in the small manor, ten days had passed since Ying Zheng last came to the manor. Lin Anlan was sitting on a stone bench in the yard. On the stone table were a bowl of millet porridge, a few side dishes, and a plate of pastries.

She ate her breakfast slowly while waiting for the system prompt in her mind.

This was the instruction she had given to the system before. Once the emperor's body was able to take the medicine, she would give the cefuroxime capsules to Lao Zhao and let the emperor take it. It should be about the same date. After all, the conditioning medicine given by the system before was very powerful and had the side effect of overdrawing qi and blood.

This is also the reason why Xia Wuqi felt that the First Emperor still had ten days to live.

Although she was a little nervous, Lin Anlan relaxed when she thought about her plan. She was not worried at all that the system would not give her any prompts.

She has been busy these days, which is a good time to perfect her plan.

The last time Lao Zhao came, he accidentally mentioned that he had a doctor named Xia Wuqie, so Lin Anlan thought of passing on the acupuncture knowledge in his mind to him. After all, Xia Wuqie was the doctor beside the First Emperor, and with the help of acupuncture, the cure would be more certain.

"Mr. Lin, what are these weird things of yours?"

Ah Zhu asked as she looked at the yard piled high with wooden boards.

Lin Anlan smiled slightly, "This is a good thing."

She had recently researched movable type printing, which she had studied before when she was in academy, but she didn't have the tools at that time, and the printing technique had long been lost, so she could only rely on the written records in her memory to restore it.

Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded.

Lin Anlan understood what kind of changes would be brought to the Qin Dynasty once movable type printing was invented. The imperial examination system was about to be implemented, and with movable type printing, it would be easier for the people to read.

Today is the tenth day. After breakfast, Lin Anlan sat in the yard waiting.

She has been thinking about her future these days. Now she has been in Daqin for eighteen years and has been staying in the small manor, planting flowers and grass, drying and decocting medicine every day. Her life is quite leisurely.

But Lao Zhao and his friends came often, and every time they tried to persuade her to join the court.

Lin Anlan was quite helpless about this. She had always been a person who liked freedom. If she entered the court, wouldn't she be bound? But if she didn't enter, her brothers and the others were her friends. She felt a little embarrassed to refuse them again and again.

"Never mind. There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain."

Lin Anlan shook his head and continued to organize his movable type printing technology.
