In the original plot, Qin Xuezhen also used this method and promised to raise the family status of these merchants after she became successful.

However, after she really established her own kingdom, she forgot about this matter.

Because at that time, most of these businessmen could not escape disaster as their country was destroyed and their families were ruined.

However, after some thought, Yao Guangyue felt that the children of these merchants might also have this problem.

If we could put aside those hierarchies and give them a path to the imperial examinations, elevate their own status and position, and tie them to the court, then at a critical moment, if the court is in danger, they will definitely not sit idly by.

After thinking of this path, Yao Guangyue gave the third prince this idea.

However, merchants can also cause great harm when serving as officials. These merchants are not short of money, and once corruption and fraud appear in the court, it will be troublesome.

"Little sister, you know these merchants are not short of money. If their descendants become officials in the court and use money to open up their own careers, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Don't worry, Third Brother. I've already thought of this, so I've focused on you. I can let their descendants become military commanders."

The third prince suddenly realized that to be a military general one must rely on real ability to go to the battlefield, and anything could go wrong if one is not careful.

Many people were unwilling to send their sons to the military camp, but the court did make concessions, so they had nothing to say.

And even if there are one or two who can become outstanding, they cannot decide the national affairs of the court unless they speak in the court.

In this way, there is no need to worry about them committing favoritism or corruption. As for those who bully others by taking advantage of their power, they will be dealt with according to military orders and regulations, which will be stricter than the law.

At the same time, the army is a very money-consuming place, and tying together with these merchants and the army is indeed a good idea.

"Little sister, you really helped us brothers find the solution! That's great, now we have a way to solve the problem."

"Wait a minute, Third Brother, it's not just that. Seeking fame and reputation may sound unpleasant, but it's what everyone pursues. How are you going to deal with those who don't want their descendants to become military commanders?"

These words stumped the Third Prince, but he also knew that his younger sister would definitely have a way.

"Little sister, you are so smart, don't keep me in suspense, tell me now, Third Brother!"

When it comes to this, Yao Guangyue is actually very embarrassed. This is the only solution she can think of. Either it will benefit her descendants or it will bring honor to the clan. But she really doesn't know how to do it specifically.

After all, Qin Xuezhen in the original plot did not give any real benefits to these merchants.

"Anyway, Third Brother, just remember to seek fame and reputation. If that doesn't work, go ask Second Brother. I can't handle the rest either!"

After saying this, Yao Guangyue slipped away in a panic. The Third Prince woke up from his dream, still in a daze.

"Seeking fame and reputation? How do you do that?"

Yao Guangyue here also woke up from her sleep. It was already the late night and everyone around her was sleeping.

Yao Guangyue sighed deeply and tried to communicate with the system.

[System, are you asleep? I can only think of so much, and the original plot doesn't give much clues. Can this problem be solved?]

[Host, don't worry. Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. We've figured out a solution. The rest depends on what the two princes do.]

Yao Guangyue sighed and could only plead in her heart that her two royal brothers could understand her thoughts.

That night, the third prince did not sleep at all. He rushed directly into his second brother's room and jumped onto the bed.

The second prince was so frightened that he thought someone was committing suicide and almost kicked him down.

"Who is so brave?"

"It's me, brother, stop hitting me, ah!"

The second prince was so frightened that his soul almost flew away. After realizing that there was someone on top of him, he launched a series of punches at the person.

The third prince was caught off guard and was beaten by his second brother, leaving him with a panda eye!

Half an hour later, the servants brought two boiled eggs. The two brothers peeled an egg each and then used them to reduce the swelling in the third prince's eyes.

"You're not sleeping in the middle of the night. It's fine if you just rush into my room, but why did you even crawl into my bed?"

The third prince is also feeling aggrieved. Isn't he extremely excited?

"I didn't expect you to hit me so hard. Luckily you didn't hide a knife under your body, otherwise I would have died here today."

"Be content. I put away my knife today because I thought that with General Mu here, no one would dare to attack."

The two brothers almost killed each other, but fortunately there was the power of General Mu.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Can't you wait until daybreak to discuss your matter?"

"Isn't this exciting? I just saw my little sister."

When the second prince heard this, he couldn't help but poke his eyes again with his hand.

"Hey, second brother, stop poking my eyes, what are you doing?"

"You have no memory, why did you go to the Imperial Concubine's place? The Imperial Concubine is your son-in-law, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

When the third prince heard this, he knew that his second brother had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained.

"No, I didn't go to her place. My little sister came to me in a dream. In the dream, my little sister looked like a little Qilin, red and very cute. Those picture books in the market draw Qilins as tall and mighty, but that's not the case at all. My little sister is soft, cute and warm."

The second prince felt itchy after hearing this. He didn't expect his little sister to be so cute. But she was so young now. Even if she was a divine beast, she should still be in her infancy.

"My little sister is still young, probably in her infancy. Did she tell you anything in your dream? Today I heard her asking for some gloves. It seems to be related to the dream. And the focus is on you."

The third prince nodded repeatedly and told his second brother what his younger sister had just said.

"She just left me these four words: 'Seeking fame and reputation.' I don't understand what she said. She told me to come find you, and here I am, and you beat me up."

When the second prince heard what his younger brother said, he instantly caught a glimpse of his idea.

"Seeking fame and reputation, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lowest class. These merchant families either want their descendants to escape merchant status, or..."

The second prince thought about it for a long time and suddenly understood the meaning.

"I understand. My younger sister wants us to ask our father for permission to confer titles on these merchants."

"Ah? How do they enfeoff merchants? They can't give them too much power, otherwise people will abandon farming and go into business, which is much easier than being an official."

The Second Prince shook his head and explained, "It's not about enthroning a living person, but a dead person. Enthroning their fathers and ancestors, giving them a good title, to satisfy their desire for fame and reputation."
