Reborn to be replaced? Remarried to the royal palace, raising children and training husband

After receiving the emperor's smile, he turned to Meng Yu and said calmly: "Mr. Meng is wrong. Our Western Wei has the food they urgently need, and they also have the treasures our country needs."

"For example, the sturdy war horses of Goryeo, the exquisite iron casting skills of Dongling, the rare medicinal materials of Beizhai, and the seafood specialties of Nantang are all lacking in our country."

The reason why the Goryeo cavalry was invincible was that their war horses were strong and could travel thousands of miles a day.

Dongling’s iron casting technology is so advanced that their weapons are extremely sharp and always superior to ours.

As for Northern Zhai and Southern Tang, each has its own characteristics and is coveted by our country.

However, due to years of war, all countries strictly control these specialties and are unwilling to outflow. But this does not mean that my country does not desire these treasures.

Zheng Fenghui paused for a moment, then continued, "If we set rules during the transaction, such as those who want to buy our grain, cloth, cotton, etc., must pay 50% in gold and silver, and the remaining 50% must be exchanged for special items."

"In this way, we can enrich the national treasury and obtain high-quality war horses and weapons. If our country has the scarce treasures, wouldn't it become a true Celestial Empire? By then, other countries will come to pay tribute to us in no time!"

Zheng Fenghui's voice was resounding. In comparison, Zheng Fengyun's shortcomings were perfectly made up by him, adding a bit of appeal and charm.

Everyone present listened to Zheng Fenghui's words, with yearning and admiration in their eyes.

Even His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster and his breathing becoming rapid at this moment.

In fact, when the emperor first read the policy essay written by Zheng Fengyun, he was already deeply moved.

After the two Zheng brothers had complementary discussions, the emperor felt even happier!

The emperor burst into laughter, stood up suddenly, and said loudly to Zheng Fengyun and Zheng Fenghui:

"Great! I didn't expect that you guys, at such a young age, could come up with such a clever strategy! This is a blessing for our country and for me! Zheng Fengyun wins this debate today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.

No one expected that Zheng Fengyun actually won the debate!

And it is so open and aboveboard that it makes people convinced!

Although only the emperor had read the essays of Zheng Fengyun and Yuan Jinbin, everyone present could hear their wonderful debate clearly!

In the Imperial College, there were also some children from aristocratic families who were deeply dissatisfied with Yuan Jinbin's strategy of "buying an official position with silver".

They are descendants of aristocratic families and are studious and inquisitive. They are fully capable of obtaining honors through their own talents. Why would they need to rely on money?

Those who are really willing to pay money to buy an official position are often just the playboys in the family, rather than the backbone of the family.

Even if these playboys were lucky enough to buy official positions, what benefit would it bring to the family?

However, the strategy proposed by Zheng Fengyun not only shocked and convinced these children from aristocratic families, but also made them feel greatly relieved.

If the emperor adopted Zheng Fengyun's strategy, then these noble families would not have to hold on to their purse strings every day when traveling!

After all, who can resist having their pockets coveted day after day?

After a moment of silence, I don't know who started clapping first, and then one after another, until the whole scene was filled with warm applause!

Zheng Fengyun stood there, dazed for a moment. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but smile brightly and confidently. The bright light was dazzling.

Gu Qinlan sat in the audience, looking at Zheng Fengyun's high-spirited figure on the stage, with a gentle smile in her eyes.

From then on, no one in the world mentioned the little tyrant of the Zheng family anymore. Everyone only knew that the second son of the Zheng family was extremely talented and no one could match him!

Zheng Fengyun giggled a few times, turned to look at the emperor, scratched the back of his head shyly, and asked:

"Your Majesty, well, since we have won, you said before that the winner can make a request. Is this true?"

After hearing this, the emperor burst into laughter.

If these words came from any minister, the emperor would probably suspect that he had bad intentions.

But when Zheng Fengyun said this, the emperor found it very cute, and immediately replied with a smile:

"Of course. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

A hint of joy flashed in Zheng Fengyun's eyes, and then he turned around and waved to Zheng Fenghui, Zheng Huiyi, Dou Qianqian and Shi Zhao.

Everyone was slightly stunned, but eventually walked over to Zheng Fengyun.

Zheng Fengyun gave the emperor a flattering smile and said, "Your Majesty, let's discuss it first and then tell you, okay?"

The emperor looked at these five clever little guys and couldn't help laughing. Then he said jokingly:

"There were only three of you in the debate. Why are there two more when you're collecting the reward?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fengyun immediately responded seriously: "We are brothers who are as close as brothers! We share the same hardships and happiness! Your Majesty, you can rest assured that we only make a modest request and will not ask for more."

"No matter how much you ask, I will not agree to it."

The emperor was in a good mood at the moment and enjoyed having a little fun with these young men.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fengyun revealed a flattering smile, and then hurriedly pulled everyone together and put their heads together.

The five little guys huddled together, whispering to each other for a long time.

Finally, they seemed to have reached a consensus. Zheng Fengyun turned to look at the emperor, bowed respectfully, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, we have already discussed it!"

"Oh?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder what kind of surprising request Zheng Fengyun would make.

Zheng Fengyun seemed a little embarrassed. He glanced at the emperor cautiously, then asked seriously, "Your Majesty once said that you can make any request, right?"

"nature."

"Then...if Feng Yun wants to become a small general, will the emperor agree?"

As soon as Zheng Fengyun finished speaking, everyone around him was stunned.

At such a young age, he actually dared to ask the emperor for an official position? This was beyond everyone's expectations.

The emperor was also a little surprised for a moment, and as if to confirm, he asked:

"You mean, you want me to grant you an official position?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fengyun immediately nodded vigorously and explained shyly:

"Feng Yun's father joined the army early and was promoted to general when he was young. Feng Yun hopes to surpass his father. If I can become a general at the age of seven, wouldn't it be awesome?"

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

If this matter were to get out, the seven-year-old general would not be respected but would become a laughing stock!

Zheng Fengyun is so bold that he fearlessly makes such a request to the emperor. Isn't he afraid that the emperor will be furious and chop off his little head?

The emperor took a deep breath. Although there was a smile on his face, the smile did not reach his eyes. He slowly said:

"Your father gained the honor through military exploits. What do you think you can rely on?"

After hearing this, Zheng Fengyun scratched his head in confusion and asked:

"Isn't it because of His Majesty's favor?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor, whose originally serious face was, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zheng Fengyun blinked innocently and looked at the emperor, as if he didn't know where he went wrong. He said flatteringly:

"Your Majesty, you are the supreme ruler of the world, and your words are as good as gold! You must not deceive Feng Yun. Moreover~"
