Helping Qin Shi Huang Bring Peace to the Realm

The protagonist of this story is a farmer who takes life easy and raises children, but she does not give birth to any children in this story. Xu Lan and Tang Qiyang live a peaceful, comfortable life together, grow old, and then live again in the late Warring States period, an age when human life is worth less than grass. The Battle of Handan has only recently ended. The wilderness is strewn with bones, and the land is full of the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, widows, and orphans. The world is even crueler than the apocalypse in their first life. Tang Qiyang lost his left hand in the war. After getting a sense of society's condition, the couple exchange a bitter smile. They hadn't studied history in depth in their previous lives. Their first life was about fighting, and their second was about farming and business. They don't understand politics. They know a few famous historical figures and the general course of history, but even if they have some ability, they can't change the times. Kill a foolish ruler and another may take his place. Kill a corrupt noble and another will rise to replace him. What can they do? They can only farm and raise the displaced orphans. But when those children grow up, they'll still be sent to war. After Qin unifies the realm, there will be forced labor on top of that. Just thinking about it is despairing. They can also improve society's productive capacity, cultivate better grain varieties and increase yields, establish academies that recruit students from ordinary commoners, teach them to read and think, train all kinds of talent, spread new ideas... Wait, Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, the man who will unify the six states, seems to be a child right now, and he's in Handan. Wait, isn't the boy living next door to them called... Zheng'er? Zhao Zheng remembers his mother's warning not to associate with commoners. But Lan Congmu's smile is as warm as sunlight, and Uncle Tang makes delicious food and fun toys. He teaches people to read and write, tells stories, knows swordsmanship, can improve farming tools, and teaches people how to farm... He's a man of great talent! He wants to learn to read, learn swordsmanship, and eat delicious food... He can't resist. What should he do? Later, Zhao Zheng discovers that Lan Congmu knows everything Uncle Tang does, too. Years later, King Zheng of Qin asks Uncle Tang, who is not his teacher in name but is one in truth, "Uncle, I wish to march east and conquer the six states. Do you have any good strategies?" Tang Qiyang replies, "I have no clever strategy for conquering the realm. I don't believe the greatest achievement is sweeping across it as quickly as possible. Conquering and governing are not the same. Take one city and govern it. Win the hearts of its commoners and let them live in peace and prosperity. That's the foundation of a great nation!" The two protagonists were born in the 1950s in their previous life and aren't experts on history. Theme: Develop the productive forces, promote cultural growth, and bring peace to the realm
