During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, although they were two chaotic times, they were indeed two eras of large-scale development of wastelands. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they were from west to east, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties were from north to south, not just occupied, but developed.

If it is just occupied, it will not produce any economic effect, but it will have to lose money every year. Only the developed land has economic value and can continuously generate wealth.

If you can't develop it, it's a waste of money. It's a pity to eat it. But development requires costs. Generally speaking, it will take at least a few years from development to profit. There are various natural disasters and man-made disasters in the whole process, and the cost is still above a war. Therefore, by the Ming Dynasty, it will basically not destroy other countries, because it is useless to eliminate them, and they will soon be restored. The valuable areas that have been developed in small countries are like oasis in the desert, not a piece, but a point by point, and cannot be connected into one piece at all. The cost of ruling 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, and you can go back and play in the desert oasis yourself.

The developed areas in the wilderness are all point by point, with inconvenient transportation in the middle and difficult management. If you control one point, the other point will rebel. If you control another point, this point will also rebel. But if you want to control all points by point, then spend money.

There are either mountains and ridges between the points in the wilderness or uninhabited areas. For the large-scale development areas of the Central Plains dynasty, it is really difficult to control points and points outside.

The colonists actually encountered this problem in the Age of Discovery, that is, the developed areas were only a small point on the vast land. Without the developed city-state, there were wilderness outside. Therefore, the colonists could only control ports in the coastal areas, and then build railways to connect points one by one to plunder. Not to mention development, they could not even control points, but also rely on local forces.

The same is true for the Central Plains dynasty to fight the surrounding areas. The level of development is too low. It can be said that the more you fight, the more you lose money, so as the trade matures, you stop fighting. You lose money in wars and make money. Therefore, as long as the surrounding small countries are honest, there is no need to fight with them. Even if you conquer the small countries, it will be a loss-making transaction, because more money will be spent on development.

It is the first year of Zhenguan. Although the War of Unification has ended, foreign forces are still eyeing them, and Li Shimin will definitely not spare them. This requires money. Fortunately, the economy within the Central Plains is very good, and both Silk Roads are also operating. In addition, the whole country advocates frugality, so as long as it can win, the Tang Dynasty will be stable and can enter a period of great development.

It is really a rare opportunity. Yunyao said that if you don’t make money now, you won’t upgrade, so there will be no such store after passing this village. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun have made suggestions when they saw Yunyao at a young age. It is reasonable and well-founded, so it is difficult to stop her. They even look forward to what kind of upgrades Yunyao can bring.

But before the upgrade, the power of the Golden Spear Unstoppable Pill scared Li Shimin because Chang'an would have to be a medicine in a short period of time.

Because the effect is very good, older men are excited after taking it, so they are looking for purchases at high prices. The prince is surrounded by a group of playmates every day and asks for more secret medicines in the Western Regions. Obviously, they earn more than Prince and Yunyao, so they are more motivated. Yunyao sets a wholesale price, but they cannot control their retail price. Because the elixir is very effective, the retail price has been increased ten times. One pill is always a pill, and it is still hard to find a medicine. As expected, men in any era always want to show their magnitude when exercising.

There were even thick-skinned ministers who directly asked Li Shimin for secret medicine in the Western Regions. Since the prince took it from the warehouse, Li Shimin must have it, and they even suspected that Li Shimin had it.

Is the little pill so magical? Li Shimin was stunned and could only say that his daughter could bring surprises. However, he had to emphasize to his ministers that he did not need to take medicine.

When Yun Yao saw that the people of the Tang Dynasty were also fascinated by foreign products, she could only say that the human race in any era and region were the same. The Tang people believed that there was a Pure Land in the West, and the West also believed that there was a Pure Land in the East, and the whole thing was the same.

The secret medicine of the Western Regions was named the magical Western Regions and made a name in Chang'an. Some Indian monks were even harassed, let alone the merchants of the Western Regions. They were asked if they had the magical medicine that men knew. These guests from afar were confused and didn't know what the Tang people were smoking.

Is there a shortage of supply? Then purchase raw materials, optimize the production process, and transform the Imperial Medical Department into a elixir production workshop, train the Imperial Medical Doctor into a worker, and carry out large-scale production.

Of course, these all require money, so Yunyao completed the first fundraising in the Tang Dynasty and raised the first fund with him. They all tasted the benefits and took out the money from their families. Of course, they still didn't know that this was actually the invention of Princess Zhu Yun. The entire production process was highly confidential. After all, there was no patent right these days. If they were stolen, the money would have to be made much less.

Fortunately, I chose to produce it in the Imperial Medical Department, so it is okay to keep it confidential. It is because of the large-scale acquisition of herbs, which has led to the soaring prices of these herbs on the market.

But compared to the money you earn, these costs are nothing.

The prince found his sister and wanted to increase his income. Because the playmates invested more than him, he also distributed more money than him. The prince was jealous. The prince was still the first layer that Yunyao promised to give him. Although he was only eight years old, he realized the benefits of money. He was a little hesitant, after all, he was asking his sister for money.

After being stumbled for a long time, I couldn't tell the topic. After all, it was taught by a major student, which was too unpleasant.

"Brother, you go and be an agent in Chang'an District. In the future, the elixirs from Chang'an will be sold to you at a fixed price, and don't mess up the price. Then you tell everyone that the sales area will be divided according to the ten roads of the Tang Dynasty, and each road will be found to find an agent. Get the goods from us and then go to sell it." Yunyao's strategic arrangement is very detailed, not only Chang'an, but the entire Tang Dynasty, and even radiates to the surrounding areas.

The prince was stunned. He was still considering small profits, while his sister had already thought about the future. He couldn't help but ask: "Can we produce so many elixirs? Can we satisfy the entire Tang Dynasty?"

Yunyao smiled confidently and said proudly: "What can't be satisfied? As long as you see the effect, people will naturally invest money. We will plant raw materials ourselves and expand production. We can even upgrade products and study other elixirs. Finally, we will improve the medical care of the Tang Dynasty and develop medical skills..."

The prince opened his mouth and said that he would take the agency rights of Chang'an first. After hearing his sister's explanation, he knew that the so-called agency rights were the only one who could sell elixirs in Chang'an. After deducting the cost of buying medicine in Chang'an, the revenue was all his own. How much money would it cost? It must be quite a lot.

So the prince went to find someone else and talked about the agency, which immediately triggered a struggle for strength. Everyone wanted to act as an agent. After all, only wealthy areas can make a lot of money. There is little money in the poor and remote areas, and even if the agent is not much, it won’t make much money.

The prince said: "The richest Jiangnan Road, Huainan Road, and Lingnan Road are auctioned, and those with the highest prices are rewarded." He had to admire his sister's intelligence and knowledge that these guys would stare at the wealthy road, so he had already taken the three richest roads to auction separately, and those with the higher prices are rewarded. The money will not be made in vain. If the higher prices are rewarded, Yunyao would also make a lot of money.

After hearing Yunyao's smart arrangement, Li Shimin couldn't help but slamming the high fives. This doll was indeed smart. Not only did it have a strange idea, but it was also very experienced and thoughtful. Especially for the future arrangements, it was orderly and step by step, and it was also used by other people's money to make money for himself. This trick is the most tricky, and this is a skill.
