Lin Anlan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Meng Er, who do you think I am?"

Meng Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and scratched his head awkwardly.

Lin Anlan said quietly, "Alas, it seems I can't stay in this place any longer. I have to run away quickly, or I won't know when I will be sold out."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly became anxious, and Ying Zheng hurriedly said: "Girl, don't leave, we won't let you go!"

Meng Yi also echoed: "That's right, with us here, Daqin is your home!"

Lin Anlan blinked, looked at Ying Zheng and Meng Yi cutely, and said crisply: "Really?"

Ying Zheng and Meng Yi nodded without hesitation.

Lin Anlan immediately smiled brightly: "That's good."

Ying Zheng suddenly said, "By the way, girl, aren't you looking for a maid? Leave this matter to me. I promise to give you a satisfactory answer in three days at most."

Lin Anlan was surprised and asked: "Really?"

Ying Zheng laughed: "One word is as good as gold!"

Lin Anlan jumped up excitedly and cheered, "Yeah! That's great!"

Seeing her so happy, everyone couldn't help but smile.

The few of them continued chatting, and the conversation turned to the Huns and the Great Wall.

Lin Anlan nodded and said softly, "The Great Wall must be built. After all, the Xiongnu is still a problem. If we don't build the Great Wall, the Xiongnu will move south. What will happen to the people in the border areas? The Xiongnu are a nomadic people. They have no fixed place to live and no fixed territory. They are very mobile. We build the Great Wall not to restrict the Xiongnu, but to protect our own people in Daqin."

Ying Zheng agreed with him and nodded repeatedly: "You are right, girl. His Majesty the First Emperor has also considered this matter, but he was busy with wars in the past few years and had no time to take care of it. Now is the time to repair the Great Wall again. I will discuss this matter with Meng Yi and others and then report it to His Majesty."

Lin Anlan was relieved and said with relief: "You are right to think so. Building the Great Wall is something that must be done."

Ying Zheng smiled, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Girl, how are the imperial examination system and schools being popularized in all parts of Daqin?"

Lin Anlan said softly: "These policies are being implemented slowly, but they are gradually becoming popular. These are long-term plans and cannot be rushed."

Ying Zheng nodded and sighed, "Yes, a century-long plan cannot be rushed."

Han Xin suddenly picked up a glass of wine, raised it to Lin Anlan, and said respectfully: "Mr. Lin, please drink this glass!"

Lin Anlan was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

"If Mr. Lin had not recommended me to His Majesty... Mr. Zhao, I would probably still be a commoner. I, Han Xin, am where I am today thanks to Mr. Lin's insight. I will never forget this kindness!"

Lin Anlan finally understood and immediately picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Han Xin.

"This is your own achievement. I don't deserve it. You are where you are today because of your hard work."

The two smiled at each other and drank the wine in their glasses.

Lin Anlan suddenly asked curiously: "Han Xin, what do you think of the current development of Daqin?"

Han Xin thought for a moment and said seriously: "It's changing with each passing day!"

Lin Anlan asked: "How is it changing with each passing day?"

Han Xin pondered and said, "Take the Xiongnu as an example. The strategy of the Qin Dynasty is actually cutting meat with a blunt knife. War is not a matter of one day or one night. It requires long-term planning. The Qin Dynasty could not capture the Xiongnu royal court, so it nibbled away at the surrounding areas bit by bit. This is also cutting meat with a blunt knife."

"In addition, there are the imperial examination system, schools, etc., all of which are weakening the opponent's power little by little. This is like playing chess, taking one step at a time. Although the progress is slow, it is steady and does not give the opponent any chance to take advantage. The development of the Qin Dynasty is also the same. Although the speed is not fast, it is steady and solid, step by step, and does not give the enemy any chance."

"This invention may seem ordinary, but it is actually extremely brilliant!"

After hearing what Han Xin said, Ying Zheng couldn't help but applaud.

"You are right. Your Majesty wants the Qin Empire to develop steadily and become stronger step by step!"

Lin Anlan looked at Han Xin, then at Long Qie, and chuckled, "Long Qie, you can't fall behind."

Long Qie was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said excitedly: "Don't worry, I won't hold you back!"

Everyone laughed, and before they knew it, the sun was setting. Ying Zheng stood up, stretched, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, and we should leave. Girl, I will take care of your business."

Lin Anlan said in a tender voice: "Then I'll leave it to you, brother."

Ying Zheng laughed loudly, and left the manor with Meng Yi, Han Xin and the other two in a carriage.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Meng Yi turned back, rubbing his hands and looking at Lin Anlan embarrassedly.

Lin Anlan rolled his eyes and said, "I knew you couldn't take it away, so I packed it for you."

Meng Yi laughed: "You still understand me."

The group went straight back to the Xianyang Palace. Long Ju and Han Xin did not dare to act recklessly and both sat upright.

"That's not necessary. We are not going to court now, so there is no need to worry about those empty formalities." Ying Zheng said.

Long Qie and Han Xin nodded.

"Meng Yi, tell them everything that Lin girl told us before." Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi.

Han Xin and Long Qie looked at Lin Anlan and Ying Zheng with confusion, not knowing what they meant.

Meng Yi nodded and roughly repeated what Lin Anlan had said before. There was a flash of shock in Long Qie and Han Xin's eyes. This idea was too bold.

"What do you think?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Okay." Han Xin said only one word.

"Long Qie, what about you?" Ying Zheng looked at Long Qie.

"It's feasible." Long Qie said.

Ying Zheng nodded: "In that case, I'll leave it to you two to do it when the time comes."

"We will definitely live up to your majesty's trust." Han Xin and Long Ju quickly knelt on the ground.

"Get up, no need to be so polite." Ying Zheng said.

Meng Yi took out a map from his bosom and handed it to Han Xin: "This is the world map that Mr. Lin mentioned. There is only one copy. Take a look."

Han Xin took the map, opened it, and was stunned instantly. It covered mountains, rivers, oceans and land, and was many times better than the maps he had seen before.

"Ambition, this is ambition." Han Xin sighed.

Everyone is puzzled.

"With this map, our Great Qin's ambition will not only be limited to the Central Plains, or even to the surrounding areas, but to the entire world."

"Han Xin, this map is handed over to you. Don't let me down." Ying Zheng patted Han Xin on the shoulder.

"As a minister, I will devote myself to the cause until my death." Han Xin immediately knelt on the ground.

"Get up. I ask you to do something. If you do it well, I will allow you to enter the court and be ranked as Grand Marshal. If you fail to do it well, you will be beheaded." Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty, please give your orders." Han Xin said.
