"The ancients said: To accompany the king is like to accompany the tiger. It is said that the king's intentions are difficult to guess, and it is moody, which is really reasonable. This King of Qin is really unexpected. It is obvious that his attitude has improved greatly. Why did he immediately face his face when he heard that it was me who invented it?" Although Zhou Chong is familiar with history, he can't find the reason why he was so unkind to the King of Qin.

The King of Qin then said, "You have made a good fortune to make the two elders filial piety. I want to reward you well. But you use it to make money, accumulate wealth, and harm my great Qin country. I cannot forgive you no matter what."

It turned out that he was still worried that if this invention was spread, the huge reduction in Qin's food would endanger Qin's food storage strategy and would not be conducive to fighting for the world. His concerns were not redundant, and ensuring food storage under the current circumstances was the most important thing. Although Zhou Chong was accused of this, he should not admire the foresight of the King of Qin.

This is a crime that cannot be more serious. If it is confirmed, it will be sent to the border either by beheading the head. In that case, there will be very few opportunities to survive, and Zhou Chong has to be moved to life.

At this time, Li Si was still very righteous. Knowing that the matter was urgent, he hurriedly said, "Your Masao, Cao Min still has something to say, so please listen to Cao Min's speech."

"You can tell me the source of the oil in Shizhong, and I want to reward you; but you say good things to such evil people, and I want to punish you. I think you have made merits and made mistakes, so I won't ask about this matter, and you must be content." The King of Qin said to Li Si with a calm face.

Li Si was unmoved and resolutely said: "The king clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments, and the people are convinced."

"Li Si, stop when you are happy." Lu Buwei indeed cherished his talent and intentionally excused him, saying, "You have done your best to be kind and righteous, and you don't need to mix it up."

Li Si bowed to Lu Buwei and said, "Thank you Zhongfu. However, it is Caomin's idea to ask Zhou Chong to promote Shizhong Oil. If the king wants to punish him, Caomin will never refuse. If the king can listen to Caomin's words, Caomin will die without regrets."

His performance was indeed amazing. It was rare that King Qin was not afraid of being angry. Zeng Shuyao called out in her heart. If it weren't for the current situation that she would have rushed up to hug her.

Zeng Shufa was very satisfied with the performance of the future son-in-law, and kept touching his beard with a look of satisfaction.

"You are still a little brave, I admire you very much." The King of Qin praised him and said, "Okay, I will listen to you and ask you to convince me."

Li Si bowed and said, "Thank you, the king. The king, the grass people dared to ask the king for advice, and ask the king to fulfill his wishes."

"Tell me. I will answer you if I can answer." The King of Qin asked according to his request.

Li Si continued: "The Qin Dynasty owns Guanzhong, Bashu, and the land of Guanzhong. The king is wise and the people are rich and the family is enough. Therefore, the Qin Dynasty is the strongest in the world and the king's business will be successful." After the opening remarks, the tone changed and said: "Can the king know the lives of the people?"

"A modern person, I eat oil every day, and I don't know the benefits of oil. I will ask you to tell me about it." Zhou Chong was amused in his heart. Out of politeness and inconvenience to interrupt Li Si, he had to listen quietly. He made up his mind to see what the eloquent Li Si would say.

"You said, what the people lack, what they lack." The King of Qin encouraged him to continue.

Li Si came from the lower class and knew the lives of ordinary people, saying: "There are three things that ordinary people lack the most. First, the world is turbulent, the people cannot be at peace, and they are extremely willing to rest with the people; second, the lack of oil, and third, the lack of salt. The world is uneasy, the king cannot stop, and the people dare not do it. Only this oil, Zhou Chong obtained by clever thought, is of great benefit to the people's lives. The people encouraged Zhou Chong to promote it and benefit the people. If this is also a mistake, please ask the king, what is the right thing?"

He actually dared to question the King of Qin like this. He was really brave. When the King of Qin got angry, his life must have been lost. Lu Buwei's face changed, and Zhao Ji began to worry about him.

However, what is unexpected is that the King of Qin did not angry and laughed, applauded, and said, "Well, the world is in chaos and the people are not at peace, and resting with the people is the king. I also know that oil is the tool for health care that the people need very much, but this will consume a lot of food. If the food is insufficient, the world will not be at peace. In order to restore peace to the people, I have to ban oil. I know that Mr. Zhou was complaining in his heart, but for the sake of peace in the world, I have to let Mr. Zhou surrender to the end. The person who came, pulled Mr. Zhou out and chopped him up, and passed it to the middle school to warn the people." He bowed to Zhou Chong and said, "Mr. Zhou, please!"

Qin State has clear rewards and punishments. The prince’s crimes against the common people often make people applaud. Zhou Chong once sighed that he did not expect that the King of Qin would use it on himself. He knew that he was very wronged and wanted to surrender to the end. Don’t mention how depressed Zhou Chong was.

Think about it, so many time travelers were either wearing gold and silver or holding beautiful women in ancient times. They could live and wait for death. But they were not lucky enough to get home. As soon as they came, they hit the knife and did something that was inconsistent with the Qin King's plan. They wanted to beheaded. They were both time travelers. How unfair God treated him!

"Slow!" Li Si hurriedly said: "The king, Caomin has something to say."

King Qin said: "Wait first, you can tell me."

"Oil is a must-have for the people to nourish themselves. With oil, the people's lives will be better and their health will be great. So, the people dare to ask the king, what will the army of the Qin Dynasty be like?" Li Si became more and more excited and said: "The army of the Qin Dynasty will become stronger because of this. In the past, the Qin Dynasty won the Changping War, but was defeated at the city of Handan; the six countries attacked Qin and stopped at Hangu Pass. The Qin Dynasty's army only knew how to defend according to the gate, so why didn't they go straight in and defeat the army of the six countries?" These two things were shames in the history of Qin. They could win the Changping War, but they were defeated at the city of Handan. They were also very miserable.

The King of Qin raised his eyebrows and said, "Military and national affairs shall not be discussed without any objection."

Li Si was unmoved and continued, "Otherwise, only the people can have an army. If there are no people, where can the army come from? If the people are weak, unable to run, and unable to wield weapons, can the Qin army still be invincible?"

"The reason why the Qin army was invincible is not only because the people live a prosperous life and have a good body, but more importantly, the Qin Dynasty has a good military system with clear rewards and punishments. If you have any merits, you will be punished. "The Qin King explained the reason why the Qin army was able to conquer the world in one sentence, saying: "The population of the six countries in Shandong is much larger than that of my Qin, and their iron tools are better than that of my Qin, but they have been defeated by my Qin, so here is the reason."

His words were a fact that no one could deny, and Li Si was speechless for a moment.
