A gentle-looking woman stood at the side of the boat and looked ahead. She could not help but lightly recite, "The river is like a belt, and the mountain is like a jade hairpin."
The person who had come was indeed a talented person, and he was someone who liked poetry. Hearing the woman recite the poem, everyone looked at the woman, and everyone's attention turned to her as if nothing had happened.
A handsome young man next to her laughed and said, "The willows are like the green river, and the beauties are like the upper reaches of the river."
A scholarly young man looked at the mountains in the distance and smiled as he also recited, "The green mountains are endless, and the flowing water is endless."
Sitting at the side of the boat was a woman in a palace dress. She rested her chin on her hand and looked a bit worried as she looked at the river and softly recited, "The red flowers are easy to wither, and the boundless water is like sorrow."
Now that someone had started, everyone else looked at the beautiful river and thought about the poem and began to recite.
Zhao Fu felt that he had come to the wrong place. Facing this group of scholars who were reciting poems, he was an oddity because he did not understand poetry very well. It would be impossible for him to compose a poem.
However, Zhao Fu listened by the side and found that these people were quite talented.
"Sir, are you not used to it?" Nalan Ruo asked with a trace of a smile when she saw how out of place Zhao Fu was.
She could tell that Zhao Fu did not have a scholarly aura at all and was most likely a General in the Imperial Court. His aura was quite sharp and noble, and she did not believe that Zhao Fu was just a minor Official. After all, a minor Official would not have such an aura.
However, she could not confirm Zhao Fu's identity and felt that he was not simple. As such, she wanted to make friends with him. Perhaps he was a major figure in the Qin Empire.
Moreover, a General held military power, and his words were much more powerful than those of a Minister. Normally, Ministers would not make trouble for a General for no reason.
Hearing her words, Zhao Fu smiled and nodded.
Nalan Ruo smiled and said, "If Young Master is not used to it, there are private rooms in the boat. Young Master can also stay there and enjoy the beauty of the riverside."
Zhao Fu shook his head and refused. He did not descend to admire the scenery. Instead, he was very concerned about the fact that his talent was not recognized. Was he really that mediocre and incompetent ruler who was manipulated by others without any foresight? Was he really that incapable ruler who would not put talented people in an important position?
Although Zhao Fu didn't think that he was a wise ruler, at least he wasn't a fatuous one!
Nalan Ruo felt quite surprised and couldn't understand why Zhao Fu wanted to stay with this group of poets and scholars even though he wasn't used to it.
However, Nalan Ruo soon understood the reason.
Zhao Fu said to the green-clothed youth, "I can give you a chance. If you're really talented, I can introduce you to His Majesty. You can discuss all your thoughts and words with His Majesty face to face."
Zhao Fu wanted to understand the fact that his talent was not recognized. Seeing that everyone was focusing on reciting poems, he didn't hide anything and directly spoke.
Immediately!
There was an uproar. The scholars in the surroundings also recited poems and looked at Zhao Fu in shock. The people who had been in the boat also walked out and looked at Zhao Fu in shock.
This was because the person in front of them said that he could introduce them to the Supreme Ruler of Qin City, Qin's Majesty. This was like ascending to the heavens in a single step and saving them a lot of time.
In the previous imperial examinations, only the top ten candidates were qualified to meet His Majesty. No one else had the right to do so.
Nalan Ruo looked at Zhao Fu with her beautiful eyes and a look of shock on her face. She never thought that Zhao Fu's identity would be so terrifying. No wonder he gave off such a noble aura. So he was someone close to His Majesty, someone who stood above tens of thousands of people.
"Is that true?"
Because this matter was simply too big, the azure-clothed man looked quite incredulous as he looked at Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu smiled as he said, "Of course it's true! Who do you think would have the guts to say such words in Qin City? "
Hearing this, everyone thought about it and started to gather.
A woman wearing a red dress was the first to speak, "Sir, I want to change the current situation of women in Qin City. I want to change the current situation of Great Qin's women. Even though His Majesty advocates equality between men and women, in actuality, women are still at a disadvantage and are discriminated against or even punished. "
Zhao Fu nodded and smiled as he asked, "And then? What will you do to solve this problem? If you were a Minister, you would do the same. "
The woman in the red dress said, "If I was a Minister, I would increase the severity of the punishment. Only by making the commoners feel fear will they remember this principle.
"Also, continue to spread the word so that women do not have to feel inferior and that they can enjoy the same rights as men. If this goes on, equality between men and women will soon be achieved."
Zhao Fu smiled and nodded before asking, "Is Qin City not doing enough?"
The woman in the red dress replied, "Of course! Right now, Qin City is not doing enough, which is why the current situation is like this. "
Zhao Fu said seriously, "I think that Qin City has already done a lot. Even though your idea is quite good, it lacks practicality. The Heaven Awaken World's system is still in the ancient era.
"The idea of men being superior to women is deeply ingrained, and it involves geography, culture, and beliefs. If we make too much reform, it will cause chaos. If we want to achieve true equality, we will need to slowly change the commoners.
"Moreover, we will not be able to achieve true equality. For example, if we let women join the army and do heavy labor, not many women will be willing, and if we let men cook and take care of children at home, we will be discriminated against.
"Qin City needs a stable situation in order to have the energy to face the dangers of the outside world. Perhaps the perfect Qin City that you think will not appear."
Hearing Zhao Fu's words, the woman in the red dress understood that perhaps her idea was too idealistic and lacked practicality.
The people in the surroundings started to seriously consider this matter, wondering if they were thinking too simply. Even though some things could be raised, they could not be solved.
Everyone looked at Zhao Fu and could not help but feel admiration for him. As expected from someone by His Majesty's side, his way of thinking was completely different from theirs.
The green-clothed man bowed to Zhao Fu and said, "Sir, your idea is indeed brilliant. I also have a question about Qin City's laws being too strict, as well as some literature books. "
