"You always say that other countries are good. Could it be that you actually wanted to go to Jinlin Country a long time ago?"

"..."

Emperor Xia listened to the court officials below arguing and expressing their opinions to each other.

Regarding the affairs of Jinlin Kingdom, they are roughly divided into two camps.

One believes that this is a great opportunity, while the other believes that a country led by a woman cannot cooperate with them.

However, he just watched them quarreling. Anyway, he had already made his decision.

Cooperation with Jinlin Kingdom is imperative.

The Jinlin Kingdom can drive the development of their entire Daxia Kingdom. He will definitely not give up such a great opportunity because of some old guys' decadent ideas.

After listening to them arguing for a while, Emperor Xia finally spoke.

"Okay, you don't need to argue about this matter. I have already made the decision."

Emperor Xia's gaze fell directly on Fu Rong.

"Prime Minister Fu, this mutual trade with Jinlin Kingdom is a very important matter. I hope that Prime Minister Fu can go there in person."

He didn't trust anyone to take care of this matter, but he felt at ease handing it over to Fu Rong.

The emperor of Jinlin Kingdom was a female emperor. Her prime minister was not only outstanding in appearance and literary talent, but also had very open-minded ideas and foresight.

If Prime Minister Fu were to go and negotiate, he should be able to gain more benefits for the Great Xia Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, this cannot be done!" The Minister of Rites stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Jinlin Kingdom is ruled by women, which is against the ancestral etiquette and laws. It is good enough that our Great Xia Kingdom does not attack the Jinlin Kingdom. How can we cooperate with them?"

"If we cooperate, how will the neighboring countries view our Great Xia Kingdom? Will they think that our Great Xia Kingdom will also have a female emperor like the Jinlin Kingdom in the future?"

"Women have always been supposed to obey men. If it were the other way around, wouldn't that mean that they don't care about the people of the world?"

Emperor Xia looked slightly unhappy.

He had already made up his mind, but this old bastard actually dared to stand up and challenge him.

Qin Hao couldn't help but frowned when he heard this: "Minister of Rites, what you said is wrong. Although ancestral etiquette is sometimes important, the ability of the empress of Jinlin Kingdom is also obvious to all."

"In fact, what difference does it make whether it is a man or a woman in power?"

"As long as it can make the country more prosperous and the people live a richer life, isn't that enough? Or is the Minister of Rites actually afraid of those women, fearing that they will snatch your resources in the future?"

He smiled and said, "Minister of Rites, you are a little unconfident. If men are strong enough, then men will naturally be in power in the future. But if men are not strong enough and want to attack stronger women for their own self-esteem, then they are really confused and don't care about the people of the world."

Emperor Xia looked at Qin Hao with some surprise.

Unexpectedly, his third son actually had such general knowledge.

I have to say that in some cases, Qin Hao's ideas really coincide with his.

As long as it can help the Great Xia Kingdom develop better and allow the people to live a better life.

In fact, he didn't mind having more female officials in the court.

After all, sometimes, some old guys are just too annoying and too inflexible.

Once, he had met several talented women and wanted to have them serve as officials in the court. However, countless court officials opposed this, so he had to give up the idea.

For example, Qin Yan, who discovered the method of purifying glass, was not his biological daughter. If there was a system of female officials, then he could directly appoint her as an official. Why would he adopt her as his adopted daughter?

To be honest, Qin Yan has a lot of talents, and he has always felt that it is a pity that they are not used for the people's livelihood.

He suddenly felt that perhaps this cooperation with Jinlin Kingdom was an opportunity to start the female official system.

If we can really select more talents, it will definitely be better for the development of the entire Daxia Kingdom!

The Minister of Rites was about to say something to refute Qin Hao, but Emperor Xia stopped him directly: "Minister of Rites, that's enough. I think what Hao'er said makes a lot of sense. As the saying goes, those who are capable should be given the position. As long as the Great Xia Kingdom can be more prosperous and the people can live better, then cooperation with the Jinlin Kingdom is very necessary."

After a pause, he looked at Fu Rong and asked, "Minister Fu, are you willing to go?"

Since Emperor Xia said so, how could Fu Rong dare to refuse?

He immediately knelt down and said, "Of course I am willing to go. For the Great Xia Kingdom and the people, I will not refuse even if I die!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Xia was particularly satisfied with Fu Rong's words, and he issued an imperial edict with a stroke of his pen.

At the same time, Qin Hao took the initiative to speak: "Father, I also want to go to Jinlin Country with Prime Minister Fu, hoping to learn more."

Of course, Emperor Xia would not refuse this request: "Okay."

After deciding these things, Emperor Xia directly announced the end of the morning court session.

……

Because we have to leave for Jinlin Kingdom in a hurry.

So, after Fu Rong finished his court session, he told the housekeeper to pack up, and then he went straight to find Qin Yan.

"Dad, are you going to Jinlin Country?"

Qin Yan was surprised.

"Yes."

Fu Rong quickly told Qin Yan what had happened.

"I will be leaving in about three days. When that time comes, I will not be in the capital, so you..."

"I also need to go!"

Qin Yan's eyes lit up with excitement.

"You're going?" Fu Rong was surprised: "Of course there is no problem with me, but can His Majesty agree?"

This is a matter concerning the trade routes between the two countries and is very important.

As a princess, can Qin Yan really go with him?

"I'll try."

She expressed 200% enthusiasm about going to Jinlin Country.

He went into the palace immediately.

Fu Rong didn't even have the chance to say a few more words to her.

So, he could only helplessly go to find his eldest son Gu Shuyan again.

He should be more stable...

"Oh, we can go to Jinlin Country! But, Dad, come over and help me look at this water conservancy map I made. I have almost planned it, but it feels like there is something missing and I can't figure it out."

When Gu Shuyan saw Fu Rong, his eyes lit up, and then he pulled him into his study.

Show him the drawings you drew.

In fact, he has always been a infrastructure fanatic and really likes things like infrastructure.

Therefore, in his previous life, he made outstanding contributions to the country's people's livelihood and water conservancy.

Speaking of which, as a pure science student, he studied liberal arts for five years and wrote articles for five years in order to pass the imperial examination and become an official. It was really not easy for him!
