"Zhao Gao, go make a pot of tea. Dad, it’s true. I’ve said so much here, but you don’t know how to make me a cup of tea. My throat is about to smoke, you know?

You are abusing children. Be careful, I will tell your mother and concubine."

Ying Zheng was speechless again. Why is this kid always so unruly?

"Servant, go now!"

Zhao Gao put down his pen and went out to make tea.

"Brat, Gu is very curious. Gu’s other sons are too scared to speak in front of me, but you don’t have this in mind. Aren’t you afraid of Gu?"

"What's so scary, can you still kill me? You are my father, even tiger poison cannot eat its seeds?"

"Haha, that’s good. This is why Wei Gu loves you so much. Father and son should treat each other the same way as father and son. If you can do this, Gu will be very happy."

Ying Zheng laughed again. To put it bluntly, he still cares about family ties.

"Your Majesty, please have tea"

"Sir, please have tea."

Zhao Gao made tea for the two of them.

Zhao Chen picked it up and took a sip.

"It tastes so bad. What kind of tea is this?"

"I'm sorry, sir, this is... this is……"Zhao Gao was so frightened that he immediately knelt down to apologize.

"Fortunately, Chen'er, you are too mouthy."

"Zhao Gao, get up. I don’t mean to blame you. Bring the tea leaves and boil a pot of water."

"Servant, go now."

Zhao Gao didn't dare to neglect and went to do it quickly, feeling relieved. He came back soon, carrying a kettle, and behind him were two maids carrying tea and utensils.

"Sir, everything is ready"

"Why are the leaves still green? This is not good. Zhao Gao brings a pot over."

"yes!!"

Zhao Gao ran out again without any complaints. He was even very happy. At least he was still useful.

"Chen'er, tea leaves are all green leaves, is there anything else? What exactly do you want the pot to do?"

"Dad, you'll find out soon. Maybe this can increase Da Qin's income."Zhao Chen smiled mysteriously

"Sir, the pot has been brought"

"Put it up!"

"Master, please forgive me. I forgot the firewood. I will go and get it now."

"No, just add the pot!"

Zhao Gao put the pot in place with words!

Zhao Chen stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and flames appeared out of thin air under the iron pot!

"this……"

"Chen'er, did you also learn this skill from the Yin Yang family? very nice!"

"Hehe, these are all trails"

"Put the tea leaves into the pot and start stir-frying! Just like stir-fry."

Zhao Gao put the tea leaves into the pot and began to stir-fry.

Soon a fragrance filled the hall.

The tea leaves also changed from green to gray withered leaves under the stir-frying.

Fortunately, Zhao Chen controlled the heat well. The tea leaves were fried quickly.

No one understood why? But they didn’t dare to ask or say.

"Okay, it’s done. Zhao Gao, please bring out the tea!"

"promise!"

"Dad, come and taste my tea."

Zhao Chen picked up the tea leaves and put them into the teacup, then brewed them with a kettle and placed them directly in front of Ying Zheng.

"???"

That's great. Are you drinking tea?

Seeing Ying Zheng's confusion, Zhao Chen smiled slightly:"Dad, take a sip and see."

Helpless, Ying Zheng picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Um?"

With just one mouthful, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Chen'er, how did you do it? The tea leaves are bitter at first, but after entering the throat, the aftertaste is endless, and the mouth is full of saliva, retaining the fragrance and mellowness of the tea leaves.

Yes, it's really good. I didn't expect that such a simple roasting of tea leaves would be so delicious. It seems to have a refreshing effect. It's really magical.

It seems that the way I drank tea before was wrong!"

"Hey, what do you think? This is how tea should taste! How about simply insulting the tea leaves like before?"

Zhao Chen chuckled

"What do you think, dad, by roasting the tea and selling it, will Da Qin be able to make a fortune?"

"Yes, I believe that the so-called princes, nobles and refined people will like the fragrance of tea, and tea will be their favorite thing."

"Zhao Gao, you have seen the speculation method just now, right? Next, make tea in this way. Remember that the tea must be stir-fried over a warm fire so as to lock in the aroma of the tea and keep the tea longer."

"Slave understands"

"Also, do you know that the method must be kept secret now?"

"promise!!"

"Okay, let Zhao Gao take care of the tea. Let’s drink this. Let’s continue talking!"

"Ah, I have to say more!"

"What, are you willing? Then I'll leave the punishment to you."

"Then I’ll keep talking! By the way, where did you say it? Oh, I remembered it."

"The king constructed by Shenzi's proposition must be as wise as you, dad."Zhao Chen flattered Ying Zheng a little.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly, obviously it was very helpful.

"But what about Confucianism? Their king, Hou Jian, is a super wise king. He must have high moral standards and infect his ministers and people with love. If they make mistakes, they will punish them for big mistakes and small ones. If they use the heart of a saint to persuade and forgive them, they will be grateful; so the ministers and people will be grateful. The people will follow the example of the saint and do good deeds.

This shows that even with this ideal framework, Legalism is more feasible than Confucianism.

Shen Dao's"rule by man" is aimed at the king alone, but this king is the main axis of the country. If the king governs indiscriminately, how can the country not perish?

During the Shen Dao period, King Wei of Qi ignored government affairs in his early years, which resulted in internal chaos, corrupt officials, and bullying by foreign powers. Therefore, King Qi Wei later worked hard to govern, starting from himself, inspecting corrupt officials in the country, and enforcing strict laws.

Dad, do you still remember what happened between King Qi Wei and the two doctors?"

"Naturally, I remember that there were two doctors. Many officials in the court said bad things about Dr. Jimo and good things about Dr. A.

After King Qi Wei secretly found out, he learned that Dr. Jimo was an honest man, not good at sociability, and the people he governed had no complaints.

On the contrary, Dr. A is good at communication, and the place he governs is where people's livelihood is boiling.

So King Wei of Qi rewarded Dr. Jimo heavily and cooked and killed Dr. A.

At this point, the state of Qi was greatly revitalized, and its politics gradually became clear."

"Yes, that’s right, and at first glance, it looks good!

The state of Qi became stronger.

But this laid the foundation for disaster. Although King Qi Wei was a wise king, he did not conduct a public trial and did not give Doctor A a chance to defend himself. This was a disaster.

Why do we still have to conduct a public trial process, list the charges, and then deal with the criminal even though we know that this person is guilty of a heinous crime? This is to reflect the principle of fairness and openness in law enforcement before the law.

Let everyone be well documented.

Maybe there are other unspeakable secrets in the place that Doctor A governs?

The monarch has ignored government affairs for many years. What if a disaster occurs locally, or the local natural conditions are not as good as Jimo City?

Many objective factors can also shape people's opinions on people's livelihood.

Therefore, it is unknown whether he was killed unjustly, but at least there must be a trial process.

There is no such thing with King Qi Wei. It is very dangerous to judge based on the king's subjective consciousness. King Qi Wei may have done the right thing, but it does not mean that future kings can be so sharp.

During the period of King Qi Min of the State of Qi, it was because of King Qi Min's power that many ministers did not dare to give advice hastily. Even if the king made mistakes, they did not dare to mention them.

Therefore, the first failure of Legalism was the system of potential.

Although the legalist system emphasizes governing the country according to law, its core is still to have a wise king"

"Um!!"Ying Zheng couldn't agree more with this.
