Chapter 120 It would be better if Mr. Lin was a man
In the small place of Pei County, Liu Ji was the underground emperor. Although he was not as good as the emperor, he was still a local emperor.
If the uprising was really successful, who knows how many people would be killed or injured. Liu Ji did not want to see the people of the world suffer for his own selfish interests.
The Great Qin of today is no longer the Great Qin of the past.
The First Emperor worked hard to govern the country, built water conservancy projects, constructed roads, and enlightened the people. Although the people today cannot be said to have enough food and clothing, at least they are not starving like before.
Coupled with the advent of the Qin crossbow, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army increased sharply, and the people of Qin began to be proud of being Qin people.
With such a country and such an emperor, what reason did Liu Ji have to rebel?
……
On the other side, in the carriage, Lin Anlan was thinking about how to squeeze out Liu Ji's last surplus value.
There are no available talents in Pei County today.
As for Xiao He and Zhang Liang, Lin Anlan planned to meet them first.
She did not hold much hope for Zhang Liang. Like Xiang Yu, he had strong personal beliefs and it was difficult for her to use him. But she could meet Xiao He and use him if she could. If not, forget it.
After all, with Feng Jie and Feng Quji, the Qin Dynasty's civil service team is not short of people.
Thinking of this, Lin Anlan couldn't help but sneer. She knew Liu Ji very well. He was lazy and greedy. He loved wine and women. It was ironic that such a person could become the Emperor Gaozu of Han in history.
However, Lin Anlan likes this point about Liu Ji very much. The more hopeless he is, the more she likes him.
Because such people are often the easiest to control.
Then she thought in the carriage about how to make Daqin achieve epoch-making development.
At the current speed, it will only take five to ten years for Daqin to reach the level of development in later generations. The next step is the industrial revolution, and Lin Anlan plans to build an arsenal within two years.
But it's all based on the production of electricity.
However, Lin Anlan was not worried about this problem at all. With the help of the craftsmen in the institute and the memories in her mind, manufacturing the machine was not a big problem.
"As long as Daqin has a steam engine, the road ahead will be much easier."
Zhang Han on the side said, "Of course, with your current reputation in the court, everything will be easy for you to do."
Lin Anlan nodded. She naturally knew why this was the case. In fact, this was all thanks to Meng Yi and Ying Zheng.
Her biggest disadvantage was that she didn't like trouble, which was why she didn't want to enter the court. But after Ying Zheng and Meng Yi understood this, they pushed all the affairs in the court onto her.
Lin Anlan suddenly remembered something and looked at Meng Yi with a smile: "Mr. Meng, I remember you still owe me a meal, right?"
Meng Yi smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Lin is right, I do owe you a meal."
Lin Anlan smiled and said, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. I think the weather is good today. Why don't you, Mr. Meng, invite me and General Zhang to have a meal together?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yi turned to look at Zhang Han, who also nodded.
Seeing that the two had no objection, Meng Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's have a meal outdoors today."
Lin Anlan nodded: "In that case, I will roast a whole lamb, General Zhang will go hunt some pheasants, and General Meng will catch a lamb. As for Your Majesty, of course, just wait to eat!"
The three of them had clear division of labor and quickly found their respective prey.
Lin Anlan took out the barbecue grill and the prepared seasonings from the system space.
"Mr. Lin, your seasoning is so delicious." Meng Yi drooled.
Lin Anlan smiled and said, "This is an exclusive secret recipe. I won't tell anyone else about it."
"Hahahaha." Meng Yi laughed, "Looks like I'm in for a treat today."
Lin Anlan smiled, sprinkled the seasoning on the lamb legs, and started turning the grill: "General Zhang, take care of your pheasant, I'll grill it together."
Zhang Han nodded, waved his hand, and cleaned up the pheasant.
Lin Anlan took the pheasant, put it on the grill and started roasting it. She took a whole sheep from Meng Yi, skinned it, washed it, put it on the grill and started roasting it.
Four people sat around the campfire, roasting a whole lamb, chatting and drinking.
Half an hour later, Lin Anlan stood up and took out two bottles from her arms. She sprinkled the powder in the bottles on the roasted whole lamb and roasted chicken.
Suddenly, a strange fragrance hit his nose, and Meng Yi couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Mr. Lin, what is this? Why does it smell so good?"
Lin Anlan smiled mysteriously: "You will know if you try it."
Meng Yi impatiently tore off a chicken leg and put it in his mouth to chew.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Mr. Lin, this chicken is so delicious, right? There are even king snakes and old ginseng in it?"
Lin Anlan smiled slightly: "How about my exclusive secret recipe?"
Meng Yi nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious indeed."
Zhang Han on the side also tore off a leg of lamb and put it in his mouth to chew.
"Mm, it's delicious."
Seeing that the two were eating so happily, Lin Anlan tore off a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth to chew.
"It's really plump."
Meng Yi took a big sip of wine and couldn't help but sigh: "It would be better if Mr. Lin was a man."
Hearing this, Lin Anlan almost choked to death on her mutton. She looked at Meng Yi in confusion: "What do you mean, Mr. Meng?"
Meng Yi smiled innocently and said, "Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand me. What I mean is that if you were a man, I would definitely help you become a matchmaker and make you a prince consort."
"Cough cough cough..." Lin Anlan was choked by the mutton and kept coughing.
"Hahaha, Mr. Meng is cursing Mr. Lin." Zhang Han finally found an opportunity to tease Meng Yi.
Ying Zheng stood behind, shaking his head and laughing.
Lin Anlan glared at Meng Yi and quickly changed the subject.
"General Zhang, how long will it take us to Pei County?"
Zhang Han thought for a moment and said, "It's still about a hundred miles away. We should be able to arrive by noon tomorrow."
Lin Anlan nodded and said, "I heard that there is a Lingqu Canal near Pei County. It was built by His Majesty in order to go deep into the land of Baiyue. We can go and take a look this time."
Meng Yi smiled and said, "Yes, your majesty's achievements may be beyond the reach of future generations."
"Future generations can only read about it in history books." Lin Anlan smiled. "Your Majesty is indeed a famous emperor throughout the ages. If it weren't for him, the Qin Dynasty wouldn't be so powerful, and the people wouldn't be able to live and work in peace. Of course, if Liu Bang, the head of Sishui Pavilion, doesn't perform well, I don't mind throwing him to the border to build the Great Wall."
Hearing this, several people smiled.
"Mr. Lin, I will keep this in mind."
Lin Anlan nodded, took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Han: "General Zhang, this is my idea, you can try it first."
Zhang Han took the paper in confusion, opened it, and was stunned.
"This is?"
Lin Anlan said in a serious tone: "A brand new weapon."
When everyone heard this, they all came over to take a look, and saw a long sword with a sheath drawn on the paper.
