This is like the Treaty of Chanyuan in the previous life.

The Song Dynasty paid tribute to the Liao Dynasty every year in exchange for peace, which was recognized as a shame by later generations.

However, the Treaty of Chanyuan maintained peace between Song and Liao for a hundred years!

The benefits that the Song Dynasty gained from business far exceeded the tribute!

The Liao Kingdom must have regretted it deeply, but it couldn't tear up the contract.

Emperor Zhenzong of Song was quite proud of the Treaty of Chanyuan, and probably did not expect that later generations would evaluate him so badly.

So sometimes, face is more important than actual interests.

"I'm going to leave them alone for a few days!"

"What are your chances of winning the contest between Zhang Biao and Chi Lie?" Emperor Jing looked at Fang Zhengyi and continued without waiting for him to speak: "No matter what method you use, you can only win this battle, not lose!"

"Since you have taken the initiative to agree to this, then fight well. According to what you said, the people of the capital will also go to watch the battle. If we lose, you should also understand how big the impact will be."

Fang Zheng nodded: "We will definitely win this battle!"

Emperor Jing smiled with satisfaction: "I have always trusted you to do things well." Then he added: "Although Heishan Chilie is tall and strong, fighting is not just about size and strength. If I were twenty years younger, I might not be his opponent!"

Fang Zhengyi nodded silently, whatever you say is what it is!

"No matter what, Beirong will always be a concern for Dajing."

"Dajing has just rested for a few years, and the people are suffering. I don't want to start a war lightly."

"Isn't the prince always willing to fight? Let's leave Wutu to him."

"By then...gunpowder should be ready for use in war, right, Fang Qing?"

Fang Zhengyi immediately became alert: "Gunpowder, we will definitely be able to research it in the next two years!"

"Two years... You told me two years a year ago! How many two years do you want?" Emperor Jing's expression was deep: "I often think that this thing is really a weapon of war. If it can be mass-produced, it can at least make Dajing invincible, if not invincible in the world!"

"It can not only attack the city, but also scare the Mark cavalry... With this thing, the Northern Rong will not be a threat! You still need to work hard on the research of gunpowder."

Fang Zhengyi sat upright.

Give me your daughter and I will send you the gunpowder tomorrow!

Of course I didn't dare say that...
