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

"See Your Majesty."

As soldiers, they had only seen the First Emperor a few times in their lives. Now they could actually have a meal with him. What an honor it was!

"No need to be so polite. Today, the girl will treat everyone to seafood. Don't be restrained." Ying Zheng waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the soldiers hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

"You're welcome, eat." Lin Anlan also walked over at this time, patted the shoulder of the soldier in front, and said with a smile.

"Yes."

The soldier nervously picked up the skewer and began to eat with trembling hands.

"Relax." Lin Anlan patted his shoulder and encouraged him.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin." The soldier thanked.

Soon, the group started eating. Lin Anlan, Ying Zheng, Meng Yi, and Zhang Han began to build relationships with these soldiers.

Lin Anlan patted the shoulder of the soldier next to him and said with a smile: "Brothers, we are all one family from now on. You can just call me Anlan."

"We dare not." The soldiers shook their heads.

"We are all brothers from now on, there is nothing we dare not do." Lin Anlan said unhappily.

"Yes."

The soldiers nodded quickly, and one of them suddenly said, "An Lan, can you teach us a few words of Fusang language?"

"Fuso language?" Ying Zheng and his companions were slightly stunned when they saw this.

Meng Yi said directly: "It's better not to learn this bird language."

"Brother Meng Yi, in order to prevent our future generations from learning bird language, we must become strong." Lin Anlan said seriously.

"Well said." Ying Zheng nodded in agreement. This is the reason to conquer the world!

"Girl, what do you think of Fusu?"

Lin Anlan was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Master Fusu, I guess you know this in your heart, right?"

Ying Zheng frowned and nodded slightly: "I am deeply influenced by Confucianism and am a little pedantic, but it's not a big mistake, it's just that my stance is wrong."

"That's it." Lin Anlan explained, "The Confucianism he learned is not entirely wrong. If he were in the Zhou Dynasty, it would be an excellent concept for governing the country."

"But times have changed. The trend of unifying the world is already set, and we can't go back." Ying Zheng obviously understood this.

"Your Majesty sees further." Lin Anlan smiled, "Daqin does not have enough land. If it is divided into fiefdoms, it will greatly increase the burden on the court. Your Majesty sees further, so he chose not to implement the division of fiefdoms."

Ying Zheng, Meng Yi, Zhang Han and others nodded slightly, they seemed to have understood.

Lin Anlan said slowly: "Prince Fusu, a few years ago, he was indeed a good minister, but... definitely not a good emperor."

"Why do you think so?" Ying Zheng asked expressionlessly.

Lin Anlan sighed: "His heart is for the people of the world. He is too soft-hearted, so people think well of him, but he cannot be a good emperor."

"What do you mean?" Ying Zheng frowned.

"To be an emperor, one needs to be ruthless." Lin Anlan's eyes were sharp, "He is not ruthless enough."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned and began to re-examine the issue of Fusu.

"Your Majesty, do you remember that you asked Fusu to supervise the construction of the Great Wall? Why do I dare to assert that Fusu would do such a womanly thing?" Lin Anlan handed Ying Zheng a jar of wine with a smile in his eyes.

While thinking, Ying Zheng took the jar of wine and put it aside.

"I met Fusu once before," Lin Anlan recalled. "At that time, he was helping the people, providing porridge and food, and he was quite famous among the people."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "Yes, Fusu is deeply loved by the people, this is a good thing."

"But this is exactly why he is not suitable to be an emperor." Lin Anlan shook his head. "He cares too much about the people's feelings, which hinders him from doing things. At the beginning, you asked him to supervise the construction of the Great Wall because he cared about the people's feelings and didn't want to see the people suffer, so he did such a thing. But you are determined and ruthless. For the eternal foundation of the Qin Dynasty, you will do anything at all costs."

"That's the difference! Of course, I'm not saying Fusu is bad. On the contrary, if he can overcome this, he will be able to become a true king."

"Then according to your opinion, what should I do?" Ying Zheng asked thoughtfully.

"Continue to observe. The Qin Dynasty has just pacified the world and has a lot of work to do. We need to stabilize the people's hearts and the government. Only when the government is stabilized can we conduct a more in-depth observation and test of Fusu."

"As for now..." Lin Anlan smiled slightly, "Of course I'm drinking."

At this time, everyone was already a little drunk. Lin Anlan, Ying Zheng, Meng Yi and Zhang Han stood on the deck, looking at Minzhong County in the distance, feeling a little emotional.

"A few years ago, I couldn't imagine that there would be a time today when I would cross the sea to fight and return to the Central Plains." Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery in front of him, and sighed.

"I dare to think." Lin Anlan looked into the distance with a deep gaze, "Next time I go out to sea, I will plant the flag of the Qin Dynasty in America, that is, the southern continent. This time we crossed the sea and climbed the mountain, we only conquered some countries in East Asia and South Asia."

"According to your idea, the next step is to continue expanding southwards?" Ying Zheng thought for a while.

"No." Lin Anlan shook his head. "Next, we will conquer Asia and develop steamships at the same time."

"Steamship?" Ying Zheng was slightly stunned.

"Yes, the current ships are still too small." Lin Anlan explained, "If we can develop steamships, we can reach America in less than ten days."

"So magical?" Ying Zheng and others were shocked.

"Well, it's just that developing steamships will take a lot of time. It should be ready after we conquer Asia. By then, we can open up colonies in America and incorporate America into the territory of Qin."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng and others showed anticipation and excitement on their faces.

Lin Anlan was also thinking that after conquering Asia, he could study steam engines and steamships in this world. Compared with Blue Star, this world was still a little backward. According to the original historical trajectory, it would take nearly two thousand years for steam engines and steamships to appear.

She intends to bring this process forward significantly.

Once the steamship is developed, we will be able to travel to America more quickly. At that time, we will be able to transport supplies to America continuously and truly incorporate America into the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

Although many good things were brought back from this cross-sea mountaineering trip, they were all disposable consumables and could not be mass-produced or form an industrial chain. But America is different. America has rich resources and land, and is a treasure land that can truly form an industrial chain and continuously provide resources to Daqin.

Before that, what Lin Anlan needed to do was to conquer Asia first, then establish a research institute, mass-produce red mud bricks, build houses, and then develop steam engines, steamships, etc.

When we go out to sea next time, we can prepare a retreat plan. We don't have to succeed like this time. If we fail, there will be no retreat.
