Li Si was a famous reform politician in Chinese history. The abolition of the feudal system and the establishment of the county system were certainly due to Qin Shihuang's foresight and awareness of the feudal system, and Li Si's contribution. It was precisely because he tried his best to disagree and stated the disadvantages of the feudal system that the county system was finally established. (Note: There are actually other hidden information in this, but the final result was good.)

In addition, Li Si made great contributions to Chinese culture. Although the famous "Shu of Admonition and Exile" discusses current affairs, his articles are written very well and have a wide influence, which has played a positive role in the development of ancient Chinese literature.

At the same time, Li Si was also a very excellent calligrapher, good at seal script. After Qin Shihuang unified the country, he ordered him and Zhao Gao to reform the writing and transform the large seal script into small seal script. It has been popular for hundreds of years. Small seal script is still used now, which is all Li Si's contribution. He was a celebrity under Lu Buwei, and Lu Buwei was naturally impressed by his fonts. When the King of Qin mentioned it, he thought it was him.

Li Si squeezed out of the crowd and bowed to him, "I have met the Queen Mother, the King, and the Zhongfu."

He was calm and composed, as if he was not facing the King of Qin who was in a guilty mood, but was in a good mood. He was also panicked at all, looking confident. Zeng Shuyao cheered him. If Zeng Shufa hadn't grabbed her, he would have rushed up to hug him.

"He has that kind of virtue. When he has no way to retreat, he will fight to the death, and his performance is admirable. In the book of "The Book of Exiling Guests", he has no choice but to retreat, and he writes it and finally becomes famous. He has a few words and makes a name for himself. However, after Qin Shihuang unified the country, he rose to a high position and became famous, and he began to have great selfish thoughts. He was thinking about how to keep his high position. His fighting spirit no longer exists, and his actions are completely different." Zhou Chong lamented in his heart Li Si's different performances.

The King of Qin seemed to be very satisfied with Li Si's calmness. After looking at him for a while, he said, "You are Li Si?"

"Return to the king, Li Si, the sect." Li Si answered without being humble or arrogant.

The King of Qin pointed to the couplet and criticized his faults, and said, "Is this what you wrote? People like you think they have read some books of sages and recognized some of the Zhou Gong's etiquette, but they think they are not worthy of right or wrong. They actually wrote biography for such a traitor who is dangerous to the country and harmed the people and said good things. This is the virtue of you scholars."

"If you said, aren't all oil manufacturers in modern society traitors? That's too many." Zhou Chong didn't agree with the King of Qin's question in his heart.

Li Si still looked leisurely and said, "The king blamed him, and the grass-roots people also thought that scholars did not distinguish right from wrong, and only knew that they were right from wrong, and that they thought that sages were good in everything, right from right or wrong, and that the wrong or wrong."

Although Li Si was learned from Xunzi, a Confucian scholar of a generation, looking at his lifelong remarks, he was actually a revolutionary figure who knew the times and achieved the changes in the times. He was not a pedantic person who only knew the words of sages. When the King of Qin said the words of the King of Qin, his words were also agreed from the heart, not to cater to the King of Qin.

"You have some vision." The King of Qin said in an approving tone, and then rebuked: "Why do you know the harm, why do you still say good things for a traitor like him?" He pointed at Zhou Chong, as if he was confirming that Zhou Chong was an unforgivable sinner.

Li Si is an eloquent and naturally knows how to speak in this situation, saying, "The King is wise! After hearing the King's words, Li Si suddenly realized what a good person is and what a bad person is."

His words were something in his words. The King of Qin was quite interested and said, "Say what you haven't finished."

Li Si continued: "Good people, the king is very clear, and the king understands it even if the grass people don't say it. Bad people, such as Zhou Chong, are one of them."

"You..." Zeng Shuyao never expected that the person she liked would turn against him at this time and betray Zhou Chong. She was so angry that her pretty face turned into Guan Gong's face. If Zeng Shufa hadn't pulled her hard, she would have questioned Li Si in person. Zeng Shufa also disagreed, but because of his composure, he endured and refused to speak.

Zhou Chong knew that Li Si was an eloquent lobbyist and was well-versed in the way of being a straitor. He said this that he must have a back, and his right hand was gently tilted behind him, indicating that Zeng Shuyao should not be irritated.

Sure enough, what Li Si said next was: "The king didn't know that the invention of tofu and oil was from a filial son. This filial son served the two elders in every way. However, the two elders lacked teeth and it was inconvenient to eat bean rice on the daily basis. This filial son grind the beans and made tofu for the two elders to eat."

"People should have a filial and fertile heart and good people." The King of Qin agreed: "As old, there are not many teeth, this bean rice is really not that delicious, which is a good idea."

Li Si gave a tribute and said, "What the king said is very much. However, although the filial son is filial, the two elders are greedy people."

"What do you mean?" King Qin pointed at Li Si and asked.

Li Si replied: "The king, the two elders were very happy to eat tofu. A few days later, the two elders became greedy and said 'no oil'. The king, eating is convenient and being able to eat enough, which is already very good. But they are so greedy, which is really unforgivable."

"Otherwise!" The King of Qin denied it and said, "You are a scholar and don't even understand this principle. In addition to food, there are oil and meat. This is the most basic living requirement of the people and cannot be denounced as greed, you must remember it."

Li Si looked respectfully taught and said, "Thank you for your teachings."

The King of Qin continued: "If I don't eat meat for a day, I will taste boring, and the people don't even have any oil at all. This is really difficult. This is all the heroes who rise up, the nations fight, and the world is in trouble. The people either die on the battlefield or are poor on the road. They have many tyrants and taxes, and there are many passes and cities, and the goods and exchanges are not connected, so the people suffer so much."

As the King of Qin said, during the Warring States Period, the people were unable to bear the suffering and lived in dire straits. In order to adapt to the needs of war, countries did not hesitate to fish in the lake, set up checkpoints and collect heavy taxes, so it was difficult for goods and exchanges in various places to be transferred. It was not until Qin Shihuang unified the country and ordered all these checkpoints to be destroyed. This was actually an enlightened political measure, but it was criticized by later generations. Jia Yi's famous "On the Over Qin Dynasty" accused Qin Shihuang of "devoting famous cities". It was so misleading.

The King of Qin sighed and then said, "So, this filial son tried every means to meet the requirements of the two elders and made Shizhong Oil. Is that true?"

Li Si's words were half true and half false, but in this case, it was no longer important. What was important was to arouse the interest of the King of Qin, which was enough.

"Return to the king, that's it." Li Si replied.

The King of Qin's tone was greatly relaxed and said, "Sir, since he knows this, he must know that this filial son is the world. If I want to meet this filial son, can I arrange it for me?"

"This filial son is far away from the sky and close to him. It is this Zhou Chong!" Li Si answered with confidence.
