Although the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods and the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties were two troubled times, they were indeed two eras of large-scale development of wasteland. The Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were from west to east, while the Southern and Northern Dynasties were from north to south. They were not just occupied but developed.
If you just occupy it, it won't produce any economic effects. Instead, you will lose money every year. Only developed land has economic value and can continuously generate wealth.
If it cannot be developed, it will be useless, and it will be a pity to discard it if it is tasteless. But development requires costs. Generally speaking, it takes at least several years from development to revenue. There are various natural and man-made disasters lurking in the whole process, and the cost is more than a war. Therefore, by the time of the Ming Dynasty, they would basically not destroy other countries, because it would be useless if they were destroyed, and they would soon be restored. The valuable areas that have been developed in small countries are like oases in the desert. They are not one area, but dots one by one. They cannot be connected into one area at all, and the cost of governance is too high.
By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was basically managed through the trade system. Small countries came to pay tribute and do some business. The Central Plains dynasty recognized your status. You can go back and play in the desert oases by yourself.
The developed areas in the wilderness are scattered one by one, with inconvenient transportation and difficult management. You control one point, and another point rebels. Taking control of another point, this point also rebelled. But if you want to control everything point by point, then spend the money.
Between points in the wild areas are either mountains or no man's land. For the areas developed by the Central Plains Dynasty, it is really difficult to control every point outside.
The colonists in the Age of Discovery actually encountered this problem, that is, the developed area was just a small point on the vast land. Without the developed city-state, the outside was all wilderness. Therefore, the colonists could only control ports one by one in the coastal areas, and then build railways to connect each point for plunder. Not to mention developed, they can't even completely control it, and they have to rely on local forces.
The same is true for the Central Plains Dynasty when it attacked peripheral areas. The level of development was too low. It can be said that the more it fought, the more money it lost. Therefore, as the trade matured, it stopped fighting. You lose money by fighting, but you make money by not fighting, so as long as the surrounding small countries are honest, there is no need to fight them. Even if you conquer a small country, it will still be a loss-making business, because more money will be spent on development.
Now is the first year of Zhenguan. Although the unification war is over, foreign forces are still eyeing them. Li Shimin will definitely not spare them. This requires money. Fortunately, the economy within the Central Plains is very good, and the two Silk Roads are also running. In addition, the whole country advocates frugality, so as long as it can win, the Tang Dynasty will be stable and can enter into great development. period.
It¡¯s really a rare opportunity. Yunyao said that if you don¡¯t make money and don¡¯t upgrade now, then this store will no longer exist in this village. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun saw that Yunyao had made her own opinions at a young age and were well-founded, so it was difficult to stop her. They even looked forward to what kind of upgrade Yunyao could bring.
But before the upgrade, the power of the invincible elixir frightened Li Shimin, because Chang'an would be hard to find the elixir in a short time.
Because the effect is very good, older men immediately become energetic after taking it, so they buy it at a high price. The prince was surrounded by a group of playmates every day, asking for more secret medicine from the Western Regions. Obviously they earn more than Prince Edward and Yunyao, so they are more motivated. Yunyao sets the wholesale price, but has no control over their retail price. Because the elixir is extremely effective, the retail price has increased tenfold. One pill is still hard to find. As expected, no matter what era, men always want to show their prowess during exercise.
Some shameless ministers even asked Li Shimin directly for the secret medicine of the Western Regions. Since the prince got it from the warehouse, Li Shimin must have it too, and they even suspected that Li Shimin had used it too.
?? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????(?A?Little Pill Can Have Such Magical Power, Isn¡¯t It? Li Shimin was dumbfounded and could only say that his daughter could bring surprises. However, he had to emphasize to the officials that he did not need to take medicine.
Yunyao saw that people in the Tang Dynasty were also obsessed with foreign goods, and she could only say that the human race was the same no matter what era or region. People in the Tang Dynasty believed that there was a paradise in the west, and the west also believed that there was a paradise in the east. It was the same.
The secret medicine of the Western Regions has made a name for itself in Chang'an under the name of the Magical Western Regions. Even some Tianzhu monks were harassed, not to mention businessmen from the Western Regions. They were all asked if they had the magical secret medicine that all men knew. These guests from far away looked confused, not knowing what these Tang people were up to.
?The supply exceeds the demand? Then purchase raw materials, optimize the production process, transform the Imperial Medical Office into a pill production workshop, train the Imperial Physicians into workers, and carry out large-scale production.
Of course, these all require money, so Yunyao completed the first fund-raising in the Tang Dynasty and found the princeling to raise the first amount of funds. They allAfter receiving the benefits, they took out money from home one after another. Of course, they still don't know that this is actually Princess Zhu Yun's invention. The entire production process is highly confidential. After all, there are no patents these days. If the technology is stolen, the money will be lost a lot.
Fortunately, I chose to give birth at the Imperial Medical Office, so it can still be kept confidential. It is precisely because of the large-scale purchase of herbal medicines that the prices of these herbal medicines on the market have soared.
But these costs are nothing compared to the money earned.
The prince found his sister and wanted to increase his income. Because his playmates invested more than him, they got more money than him. The prince was greedy. The prince is still on the first floor that Yunyao promised him at the beginning. Although he is only eight years old, he has already realized the benefits of money. He was just a little coy, after all, he was asking his sister for money.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off to the main topic, after all, it was taught by a great scholar, this is too unpleasant.
"Brother Emperor, please become the agent of Chang'an District. From now on, the elixirs in Chang'an will be sold by you. The prices will be unified and don't mess up the prices. Then tell everyone that the sales area will be based on the ten roads of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Divide and find an agent for each road. Get the goods from us and sell them." Yunyao's strategic arrangement is very detailed, not only Chang'an, but the entire Tang Dynasty, and even radiate to the surrounding areas.
The prince was stunned. He was still thinking about petty profits, while his sister was already thinking about the future. He couldn't help but ask: "Can we produce so many elixirs? Can we satisfy the entire Tang Dynasty?"
Yunyao laughed confidently and said grandly: "What's not to be satisfied with? As long as we see the effect, people will naturally invest money, and we will grow our own raw materials and expand production. We can even upgrade products and research other elixirs. , and finally we have to improve Tang Dynasty medical treatment and develop medical skills"
The prince opened his mouth and said that he should first obtain the agency power of Chang'an. After listening to his sister's explanation, he realized that the so-called agency right meant that only he could sell the elixirs in Chang'an, and the revenue from the money spent on buying medicines in Chang'an, after deducting the cost, would be all his own. How much does that cost? Certainly a lot.
So the prince went to find other people and talked about the agency matter, which immediately triggered a fight. Everyone wanted to act as an agent in wealthy areas. After all, only rich areas can make a lot of money, while poor mountains and remote areas have less money to begin with, so you can¡¯t make much as an agent.
The prince said: "The richest Jiangnan Road, Huainan Road, and Lingnan Road are auctioned, and the one with the highest price gets it." He had to admire his sister's intelligence. He knew that these guys would keep an eye on the rich roads, so he had already sold the richest ones. The three lanes are taken out separately for auction, and the one with the highest price wins. The money won't go to them in vain. If the one with the highest price gets it, then Yunyao will make more.
Li Shimin couldn¡¯t help but high-five after hearing Yunyao¡¯s shrewd arrangement. This kid is indeed smart. Not only does he have unique ideas, he is also experienced and thoughtful. Especially the arrangements for the future are methodical and step-by-step, and you still use other people's money to make money for yourself. This is the most tricky trick. This is your skill.
To be honest, Li Shimin was moved, because according to Yunyao's business blueprint, the future of Invulnerable is bright, and it will definitely cover the entire Tang Dynasty in just a few years. However, Li Shimin was still calm. He knew that to succeed, he needed to promote the cultivation of herbal medicines. Only by solving the problem of raw materials could the elixirs be sold to every corner of the Tang Dynasty.
