"Your Majesty, today's sales were very successful. I believe the people of Xianyang City will be very willing to plant these seeds. And Meng Yi, whom you sent to me today, has been a great help. If it weren't for him, I might not even be able to speak to Your Majesty right now."
"You have done a good job in this matter. When the production of other seeds comes out in a few days, I will personally grant you an official position." Ying Zheng glanced at her and said lightly.
"What? Your Majesty, you want to give me an official title?"
Zhao Jun shouted in surprise.
She originally thought that at most she would be rewarded with some gold and silver, but she didn't expect that she would be given an official position.
It was really because she was too deeply influenced by the film and television dramas in the past. She thought that it was rare for women to attend court in all dynasties, and even if there were, they would be officials in the harem like she is now.
"Are you so surprised? It's not natural to be given an official title for doing a good job."
Ying Zheng didn't understand why she was so surprised. In his understanding, merit should be rewarded. If one made merit in the military, he would be promoted. She made merit in literature, so of course she would be given an official position in the court.
"Nothing. I didn't expect the king to be so wise. I'm so touched. I thought I couldn't attend court because I was a woman."
"How is that possible? This has nothing to do with whether you are a woman or not. I only look at your contribution. You deserve a reward for your meritorious service."
Ying Zheng said with a straight face, wondering why she would have such an idea.
"Really? Your Majesty, don't you think that men are more important than women?"
Zhao Jun had come back to her senses by now. She really wanted to know what Ying Zheng thought about the eternal problem of favoring boys over girls.
"No one is inherently more important than anyone else. I look down on women who belittle themselves, but I also look down on men who belittle themselves. If women can have the same ambitions as men, then my Qin State will certainly welcome them."
Ying Zheng's words were so powerful that the King of Zhao was stunned for a moment.
No wonder this man can be called the greatest emperor of all time. His thoughts have surpassed many modern men.
If a woman had such ambition, would he welcome it?
If his reign had lasted longer, the future might have been very different.
