Chapter 8: Getting to know famous officials for the first time (1)

This young man is very handsome, seven feet long, and he is really a dignified man. It is even more rare that he has a unique aura that is beyond the reach of a person. When he walks, his steps are steady and powerful, which gives Zhou Chong the impression that every step he takes is like a nail and cannot be shaken.

The young man patted Zeng Yao's shoulder lightly and said, "Sister Yao is fine?" He was very happy.

When Zhou Chong heard the word "Yao Mei", he suddenly realized that no wonder Zeng Yao looked like a woman no matter how he looked. It turned out to be a little girl. Zhou Chong never expected that when he came to Qin, he actually met a beautiful lady dressed as a man. He worked with her for so long, but he didn't realize that his heart was thicker than a bucket.

"Sgow, look at you. As soon as you come, I will expose the identity of others and ignore you." Zeng Yao's real name is Zeng Shuyao. In addition to being quick-talking, there is another unique feature, which is that she likes to dress up as a man. She says she ignores the young man, but her body leans on him, looking like a little bird dependent on others.

Although the etiquette system was founded in the Zhou Dynasty, especially after the Zhou Gong made rituals, it was prevalent since the Han Dynasty. The etiquette system of the Qin State was relatively rough, and things like men and women who did not give relatives to each other have not been taken seriously.

Zeng Shufa shouted softly: "Yao'er, don't be rude. Mr. Li has not been welcomed yet, so please forgive me."

"Brother Zeng, please don't say that." The young man said in a little panic: "Brother Zeng has lived for Li Si, and is Li Si's rebirth parents. Mr. Zeng said this to destroy Li Si."

Zhou Chong's heart was beating and thought to himself: "He is Li Si! He is the one who has experienced the different situations of rats in the toilet and rats in the warehouse. He has become a famous minister who has become a teacher, learned imperial skills, and assisted Qin Shihuang in unifying the world. "Suddenly, he realized: "No wonder Zeng Yao is obsessed with his rat theory, is excited about the times and caring about the world, and is influenced by him."

Li Si made significant contributions to Chinese history, which is true. His historical achievements are mainly reflected in two aspects. One is the "Letter of Admonition and Exiting Guests", and the other is to resist the opposition and suggest that Qin Shihuang abolish and divide the feudals and establish counties. Especially the establishment of counties has a very far-reaching impact on China, which is still in use today.

But this man’s shortcomings are that he is too utilitarian and kills Han Fei. He is talented but timid. Especially when he was bewitched by Zhao Gao and tampered with Qin Shihuang’s will, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed because of this and was criticized by later generations. The words he commented on were: Talent but not virtue are very important!

When Zhou Chong first saw a famous master in Chinese history, he never dreamed of it. He was really scared. Li Si clasped his fists and bowed to him, saying, "Li Si has met Brother Zhou."

Zhou Chong, who was in shock and suspicion, woke up and hurriedly bowed his fists and returned the favor: "Zhou Chong met Mr. Li." Li Si's life can be divided into two parts. One part is that before Qin Shihuang unified China, he worked hard to assist Qin Shihuang, which was selfless and worthy of praise. The other part is of course after unifying China, he changed and became too selfish. But now Li Si is still in poverty, and what he said and did is in a proper manner and cannot find faults, which makes people have to accept it.

The reason why Zhou Chong called him Mr. Li instead of Brother Li was because Li Si's behavior is still correct and worthy of admiration, rather than knowing that he would be rich and noble.

"Mr. Li, please sit down." Zeng Shufa enthusiastically invited Li Si to sit in. It was obvious that he was very happy with his daughter's concern for Li Si and was very satisfied with this future son-in-law.

Li Si thanked him and sat down. Zeng Shuyao moved over the stool and sat next to Li Si, looking happy.

Zhou Chong is a tactful person. He knew that they must have something to say, but he was not good enough to be present. He stood up and said, "Uncle Zeng, Mr. Li, please tell me slowly, I'll go and see what's going on."

"The nephew is too concerned." Zeng Shu laughed and said, "The nephew is just asking Mr. Li for advice on what he is thinking about." It can be seen that he respects Li Si very much. Of course, if Zhou Chong had not known what he had done before he knew about what he had done, he would have felt good about him as soon as he saw him.

How to deal with the government? Zhou Chong, who was a business official, wouldn’t know. At worst, he could give some money or let him take some shares. What’s more hidden is to give some money during festivals, or birthday parties. Isn’t this what modern society does to win over officials? However, there is a new hidden profession in modern society, which is to give gifts to officials. For example, if an enterprise wants to give gifts to a certain agency department, it will never give directly. Even if it is given directly, the officials will not accept it, and they will also call you an idiot in your heart. Instead, they will find another person and hand over the red envelopes to officials. Even if it is above, it is difficult to check. It’s so clever!

However, Li Si is very talented, and it would be nice to listen to his ideas. Zhou Chong clasped his fists at Li Si and said, "Then it's a blessing for Mr. Li."

Zeng Shu laughed and said, "What Mr. Wei means if we attend the three-day meeting, what do you think Mr. Li thinks?"

Li Si replied: "Li Si came for this matter. Zeng Bo was very kind to save Li Si. Li Si should know everything and say everything. Li Si thought that the three-day period of the Great Qin Dynasty was to facilitate agriculture, industry and commerce, currency exchange, and to have the effect of strengthening the country and the people. All skills could be sold and understood. Brother Zhou's magical means of producing oil in stone wands and boiling water and snowflakes in boiling water have not been in the Great Qin Dynasty. If he could participate in the meeting, it would cause a sensation. In addition to increasing income, it could be promoted to strengthen the people and the country."

"A skill can be sold and learned the family. Can you really say that Lao Ai's affairs are considered to be sold and realized the family?" Zhou Chong was very funny when he thought of that historical gay scene. He had to admire Li Si's opinion. It was just a three-day meeting, but he analyzed it so thoroughly and told him the benefits of the people and the country. He was worthy of being a historical figure planning the world. He smiled and said, "Mr. Li is very insightful, Zhou Chong admires it."

Zeng Shu smiled and said, "Young Master Li is very clear about the country and the people, which makes people feel enlightened. You young people should think about these things. I just want to make more money and make more money."

Zeng Shuyao immediately expressed disagreement and said, "Dad, what you said is wrong. As a citizen of the Qin Dynasty, it is our duty to do something for the Qin Dynasty. Dad, you forgot what Sgow said? Sgow said that the world is united today! The Great Qin Dynasty has no choice but to change the world. As long as the king is determined, the Qin Dynasty will be successful!"

Zeng Shu pointed at Zeng Shuyao and said, "You, you know how to blame Dad, Dad spoiled you." Yan Lai was very happy.

"Li Si's sudden appearance makes my uncle laugh." Li Si apologized.

Zeng Shu said: "Mr. Li, how should I deal with it? Please come up with a good plan."
