He paced slowly before the massive wagon, his dark robes sweeping the dusty floor. "I wish to actively promote the undeniable truth that women are a vital, equal part of this society," Lie Fan declared. "They possess minds as sharp, and spirits as fierce, as any man who holds a brush or a sword. Look to the highest echelons of my own household for the proof."
Lie Fan raised his hand, pointing a finger toward the sky. "My beloved concubine, Lady Lu Lingqi, the daughter of the Flying General, rides into battle alongside my finest cavalry. She swings a halberd with terrifying precision and has shed blood to secure the borders of this empire."
"My Empress, Ying Yue, did not content herself with silk and poetry. She spent years studying the most complex medical texts under the tutelage of the legendary Master Hua Tuo and Master Zhang Zhongjing. She possesses the knowledge to cure plagues and save thousands of lives."
Lie Fan turned his piercing gaze back to the young inventor. "If the women of my own family can ride to war and heal the dying, why shouldn’t Lady Yue Ying design the infrastructure that will carry us into the future? Why shouldn’t the women of this dynasty be permitted to serve the state, if they possess the undeniable talent and the burning desire to do so?"

Their Emperor was not merely rewarding an eager inventor, he was actively preparing the groundwork for another massive, groundbreaking societal change. He was preparing to systematically dismantle centuries of rigid, patriarchal Confucian norms.
Jia Xu’s mind was already racing, calculating the inevitable pushback from the deeply conservative, traditionalist aristocratic families, and simultaneously planning the ruthless political maneuvers required to crush that dissent.
