Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

Tang Yu wants to reform!

He never imagined that what Tang Yu was doing was actually a reform!

It should be noted that although the term "reform" appeared in the other six states, its significance was definitely not as special as that in the Qin state!

However, for the Qin state, the term "reform" itself represented far too much.

One of these is killing and death, as well as the alternation between old and new powerful figures.

Wang Jian looked at Li Si and found that the other man's expression remained unchanged and he did not say anything.

"Is Li Si not reacting?"

He was even more shocked, realizing that Li Si must have known about this news beforehand.

Otherwise, as the leader of Legalism and the most loyal supporter of Qin law, Li Si would never have been so indifferent.

Chunyu Yue, standing beside him, remained calm, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Only the Right Chancellor, Feng Quji, had a look of utter astonishment in his eyes.

"Reform? The Grand Preceptor actually wants to implement reforms?"

"Your Excellency, why do we need to implement reforms?"

"Is our Qin law bad? Or is the Grand Preceptor dissatisfied with the Qin law?"

These officials were discussing it incessantly, as if reform were a heinous crime in their minds.

Seeing the officials whispering among themselves, Ying Zheng, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"I wonder what method Mr. Tang intends to change? What is wrong with the laws of Qin?"

Alright! You two, just keep up the act!

Wang Jian glanced at Ying Zheng on the stage, and simply couldn't bear to look at him.

He couldn't believe that Ying Zheng, who was practically inseparable from Tang Yu, wouldn't know about Tang Yu's reforms.

Everyone present turned their attention to Tang Yu.

They were curious to know exactly how Tang Yu, this supposed genius, planned to implement reforms in the Qin Kingdom, and what kind of reforms he intended to implement.

Similarly, they were more concerned about whether they, who were originally high-ranking officials in the Qin state, could continue to live as they did after the reforms.

Feeling the strange looks around him, Tang Yu sorted out his thoughts and said:

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Qin laws are far too harsh..."

"Your Majesty, the Grand Preceptor is spouting nonsense. He is not a Legalist, so how could he understand the law?!"

"That's right! The reason why our Great Qin was able to unify the six kingdoms was because of the Qin laws. Now, the Grand Preceptor's words are simply an insult to our Great Qin!!!"

The speakers were two officials from the Legalist school, who were also disciples of the Legalist school!

At this moment, they stared wide-eyed at Tang Yu, their eyes filled with anger.

For Legalists, the Qin law was the most important thing, even more important than their own lives.

Tang Yu looked at the two of them, pondering how he should explain his story to them.

After all, these two were officials of the Qin state and were extremely loyal to it.

If it were someone like the troublemakers from before, Tang Yu could easily find a pretext to kill him, but not this time.

“What you two say makes sense. I did not say that Qin law is wrong.”

"The Qin laws played a crucial role in helping the Qin state unify the world."

"However, different laws need to be applied at different times. Do you two gentlemen agree?"

"Impossible! If Qin's laws could help my Qin state grow from a remote border region into the mighty Qin it is today, then they must be the best!"

"Yes, the laws of Qin will surely endure for ten thousand generations, so why should we change them?"

Under such scrutiny from those in the court, Tang Yu thought for a moment and then said:

"My lords, may I have a word to say?"

Seeing that Tang Yu had been benign all along, the two naturally didn't want to be so aggressive.

Even though Tang Yu's ideas differed from theirs, they still bowed respectfully.

"Please speak, Your Excellency, Grand Preceptor!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, we all eat every day. Although our appetites are generally similar, they can change due to our physical condition."

Food? How did we suddenly get onto the topic of food?

Without exchanging a glance with the minister, he seemed somewhat puzzled.

"If we are feeling unwell and have a poor appetite, we may eat less than half of what we usually eat."

"But if we did a lot of training and labor that day, we probably ate more than twice as much as usual. I don't think anyone would deny that, would they?"

"Yes, after training, I have to eat at least two meals a day when I get home. My wife even calls me a glutton!"

The speaker was a military general, and he was rubbing his stomach as he spoke.

At this moment, the Legalist official who had come out to refute Tang Yu stepped forward and said:

"Your Excellency, we are discussing reform, not eating. What does this matter have to do with reform?"

"What's the connection? You'll find out soon enough."

A smile appeared on Tang Yu's lips, and then he spoke.

"As you all know, different physical conditions require different amounts of food, which is the best for the body."

"Does this mean that when you gentlemen are ill, eating more than twice the usual amount of food will not cause health problems?"

"Or do you gentlemen eat only a small bowl of rice when you are starving, and that makes you feel full?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tang Yu glanced at Ying Zheng and continued speaking.

"Since each of us adjusts our food intake according to our different conditions."

"So if we imagine that our Great Qin Dynasty is a person."

"The agricultural and military merit systems established by Shang Yang in the laws of my Great Qin were the same food rations that my Great Qin used when it was hungry!"

"But now, my Great Qin has conquered the six states! We no longer need such harsh laws!"

"In other words, we in Great Qin are already full, but if we don't change our food intake now, I'm afraid our bodies will have problems if we continue eating like this, right?"

Suddenly, many people looked at Tang Yu with flickering eyes, clearly having their own ideas.

Tang Yu didn't speak, but looked at Li Si and said:

"Your Excellency, do you find what I've said to be reasonable?"

I'm coming!

Tang Yu versus Li Si!

Everyone was watching Tang Yu and Li Si.

Tang Yu is now trying to reform the law, and as the leader of the Legalist school, this is undoubtedly a silent declaration of war against Li Si!

How will Li Si handle this?

The Legalists all looked at Li Si with admiration.

Based on their understanding of Li Si, Tang Yu's actions had hit a brick wall, and he would definitely be severely reprimanded by Li Si!

But to their surprise, Li Si simply nodded after a moment's thought.

"The Grand Preceptor is absolutely right. Different situations require different amounts of food, otherwise it will be really bad for your health."

"Lord Li, this..."

"Lord Li Si!!!"

All the Legalists looked at Li Si, their pupils filled with astonishment, while Tang Yu smiled slightly.
