The next day, as soon as Lin Anlan got up, he heard the sound of a carriage outside the door.

She put on her clothes and walked out quickly, only to see a carriage parked outside the yard, which was piled with black things.

"Mr. Lin, this is the coal you asked for."

Zhang Han stood beside the carriage and said with a smile: "Please check if it is enough. If not, I will have someone bring a few more."

"That's enough." Lin Anlan nodded repeatedly, "This is more than enough."

"That's good." Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief, "I was worried that it might not be enough."

"Mr. Lin, it's time for us to go." Meng Yi stood beside the carriage and waved to Lin Anlan.

"Ah."

Lin Anlan responded and watched everyone leave.

Before leaving, Meng Yi secretly stuffed a bunch of lychees into his pocket and took a bunch of grapes with him, which looked a little funny. Lin Anlan smiled and didn't say much.

Ying Zheng returned to the Xianyang Palace, sat in his study, and began to review memorials.

After reviewing the last memorial, he put down his brush and looked up at Meng Yi.

"Meng Yi, go to Huaiyin County and bring Sima Longju and Han Xin to me."

"promise!"

Meng Yi bowed and accepted the order.

"Remember, observe their personalities secretly before making a decision." Ying Zheng thought for a moment and gave another reminder.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do it properly."

Meng Yi bowed and accepted the order, then turned and left the study.

"Zhang Han."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han again.

"The minister is here."

Zhang Han stepped out and saluted.

"You need to pay more attention to Lin Anlan."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Give her whatever she wants, and never neglect her."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will do my best." Zhang Han bowed and accepted the order.

"Okay, all of you go down."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and drove everyone out.

Nowadays, rebellions and wars are constantly happening in Daqin. They must be quelled as soon as possible. As for Lin Anlan...

Ying Zheng touched his chin and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This girl does have some abilities. If she can be used well, she will definitely be a great help to Daqin!

……

After breakfast, Lin Anlan sorted out all the fruits in the fields, including potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, corn, sorghum, and cotton. Then, she picked all the fruits from the fruit trees and piled them up in a corner of the yard.

Looking at the yard full of fruits, Lin Anlan fell into deep thought.

With so many things, she definitely can't take care of them all by herself.

Or... should we find a maid? But... why did Meng Er and the others say that women are a scourge?

Lin Anlan was hesitating when suddenly a shout came from outside the door.

"Mr. Lin, I'm here to bring you coal again."

Lin Anlan quickly opened the gate and saw five horse-drawn carriages parked outside, piled high with black coal.

"so much?"

She checked and found that in addition to coal, there were also various precious ores and a large number of bronze utensils. With so many things, it should be no problem to use them to study the metallurgical technology of the Qin Dynasty.

After all, Daqin's iron ore is quite abundant, at least much more than bronze.

However, the main weapons of the Qin Dynasty are bronze artifacts. This is because the smelting technology is not up to standard and the iron ore cannot be melted into molten iron.

Lin Anlan decided to try making a dagger himself.

She directed the two big men to start a fire in the open space next to the field, then crushed the ore and threw it in.

Lin Anlan didn't know how to smelt, but she knew the general process. She hit the ore with a hammer, then added coal, and dissolved the ore into liquid through high temperature.

During this process, some other chemicals must be added to completely melt the iron ore.

After Lin Anlan dissolved the ore, he poured it into the mold that had been made in advance.

A moment later, a pitch-black dagger appeared in the mold.

"not bad."

Lin Anlan picked up the dagger, looked at it carefully for a moment, then walked to the stone table, picked up a bronze jar, and chopped it down with force. With a crisp sound, the bronze jar was instantly chopped into two pieces.

"Sure enough, this iron ore is much sharper than bronze."

Lin Anlan nodded with satisfaction.

Now that we have iron ore and iron smelting technology, the next step is to promote this technology throughout the Qin Dynasty. As long as all weapons are replaced with iron, the military strength of the Qin Dynasty will be greatly enhanced.

Lin Anlan put the dagger into the box, put it aside, and then began to draw the blueprint.

She planned to make a few sets of equipment and let Brother Zhao see the effects.

"Mr. Lin, I have brought you everything you wanted."

At this time, Zhang Han suddenly came over with a group of soldiers. Two soldiers each carried a large box, and they brought dozens of boxes over in succession and placed them neatly on the ground.

"This is?"

Lin Anlan looked at the big boxes, his face full of confusion.

"Sir, these are all iron ore."

Zhang Han smiled and explained: "Didn't you say you wanted to do research? Then let's do it."

"alright."

Lin Anlan shrugged helplessly. She really had no intention of doing research, but looking at the situation, she couldn't do it even if she wanted to. With so much iron ore, she couldn't consume it by herself. It seemed that she could only rely on the help of Brother Lao Zhao, Zhang Gan, Meng Er and others.

She sighed and began to think, she definitely couldn't accomplish this task by herself.

"Mr. Lin, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Seeing Lin Anlan lost in thought, Zhang Han couldn't help but urge him.

"Oh, okay." Lin Anlan came back to his senses and nodded.

"Oh, right." She suddenly remembered something and looked up at Zhang Han, "Can you help me find a maid?"

"what?"

Zhang Han's expression suddenly became strange when he heard this: "Mr. Lin, what do you want a maid for?"

"Of course she's here to wash my clothes and cook for me." Lin Anlan rolled her eyes. "Why else would I need her to do that?"

"This one……"

Zhang Han hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Mr. Lin, you don't actually need a maid. If you're willing, I can arrange for a few servants to serve you."

"forget it."

Lin Anlan shook his head repeatedly. Thinking of the tone of Meng Yi and others that day, Lin Anlan couldn't help but shiver.

These guys clearly don't want me to find a maid!

"Then... that's fine."

Zhang Han sighed, turned and left.

Lin Anlan sighed and continued her research. She was almost omnipotent now and could even do blacksmithing.

Really...

Lin Anlan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and continued his research.
