The wealthy Persian merchant returned to his hometown with 300,000 gold dragon and tiger pills, and couldn't wait to start putting the goods in his own shop, and then walked on the upper route, with the help of the power of the upper class, to sell the dragon and tiger pills.

At that time, the Persians, that is, the Parthian Empire, were fond of food and cold, so they had a lot of stomach troubles. Of course, ordinary people can't afford to use Dragon Tiger Pill. Persian merchants gave officials of all levels a free gift of beautifully packaged dragon and tiger pills, boasting of their infinite usefulness.

A person tried it and said yes, and there were naturally many people following the trend, and slowly the Persian merchants' Dragon and Tiger Pill became more and more famous, and more and more people came to buy the pill. Persian merchants quickly opened the market at the price of one gold coin and one dragon tiger pill, and the dragon and tiger pill began to be popular in the upper echelons of the Parthian Empire.

After smoking the Dragon Tiger Pill for a long time, he gradually became addicted, and he did not smoke a few mouthfuls every day, and he felt uncomfortable, and the officials of the Parthian Empire and the children of large families began to frequently visit the shops of Persian merchants.

Seeing that he was making money every day, the Persian merchant smiled crookedly, looked at the inventory, the Persian merchant brought enough silver money, and killed the Western Regions.

Sima Yi is in trouble, the Persian merchant is sitting in the capital palace, urging him to ask for a thousand gold dragon and tiger pills every day, and the season is not enough, Sima Yi can't make it for him out of thin air.

Fortunately, when the Persian merchants arrived, it was already March of the seventh year of Wude, and although everything in the north had just recovered, the south had already entered the summer heat, and the poppy had already borne fruit, and the poppy juice should have accumulated partially. Sima Yi used the fastest means of communication and used the flying pigeon to inform Li Yi.

Li Yi secretly regretted that there were too few poppy cultivation last year, and when he received Sima Yi's letter, he also informed the various poppy planting bases by the fastest means, ordering them to ride fast horses and send all the poppy juice collected to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate.

For a time, there were countless fast horses entering and exiting Yumen Pass every day.

When Sima Yi received the poppy juice, he immediately ordered the craftsmen to start work and make the Qianjin Dragon and Tiger Pill overnight.

The Persian merchant waited for a month, threw down the silver, and hurried to his hometown, where the door of his shop had already been smashed by the angry crowd.

The Persian merchant howled: "Why have you smashed my shop?" ”

An arrogant young man said: "Damn Maxim, why has the Dragon and Tiger Pill you promised been out of stock for so long?" Master, I haven't drawn the Dragon Tiger Pill for three days! ”

The young man wiped a handful of tears and snot, punched Maxim, and said angrily: "You untrustworthy dog, come on, give him a hard beat." ”

Maxim recognized this young man, who was the youngest son of the great chief of his hometown, named Batis, who was arrogant and rampant in the township, typical of the second generation of officials and the second generation of wealth.

Batis roared, and his legs stretched out their fists and sleeves, about to give Maxim a full punch.

Maxim shouted, took something out of his bosom, held it high in his hand, and shouted: "Son Batis, come and see, what is this?" ”

Batis opened his eyes and saw a small lacquer box in Maxim, which was not the Dragon and Tiger Pill that he had been thinking about for a long time.

Batis burst out of courage in an instant, only to see him lift up his white robe, step away from his long legs, arch his front legs and kick his back legs, and rush to Maxim's side with an arrow step, stealing peaches with one monkey, oh, no, no, one-handed golden eagle bright claws, snatching the lacquerware box into his hand.

Maxim said loudly: "Son Batis, the Dragon Tiger Pill is not easy to get, the price has already increased, ten Dragon Tiger Pills, thirteen gold coins." ”

With a wave of his hand, Batise ran to Maxim's dilapidated shop, found a place, lit a cigarette lamp, and spewed clouds and smoke. A butler-like leg took out a money bag from his waist, counted thirteen gold coins, and threw them at Maxim's feet.

The people next to him saw Batis smoking the Dragon Tiger Pill, and the faint aroma wafted over, and they couldn't bear it anymore and surrounded Maxim.

Maxim said loudly: "There are a lot of Dragon and Tiger Pills, don't crowd them, come one by one." ”

Maxim raised the price by 30%, and the loss of his store naturally paid back.

Looking at the crowd leaving with the Dragon Tiger Pill in his hand, Maxim was confused in his heart, how could the charm of the Dragon Tiger Pill be so great?

………………

The scale of opium poppy cultivation has expanded more than 100 times, and when the harvest season arrives, there is an endless stream of vehicles sent to the Western Regions. Sima Yi was worried, his subordinates were short of manpower, how could he process so many raw materials? After thinking about it, ask the court for help.

Li Yi remembered the tide of part-time work in later generations, and the army of cotton pickers flocked to the western frontier every autumn, and an edict encouraged promising young people in the world to go west out of Yumen Pass and develop in the Western Regions, so that the vast world could make great achievements.

The Tang government's policy of encouraging business has greatly promoted the prosperity of commerce, and the prosperity of commerce has led to a sharp increase in the opportunities for small manual workers. Young people who are unwilling to stick to a few acres of land at home have gathered in groups to take a walk around the outside world, take a look, and look for their own opportunities.

With social stability, economic prosperity, and national unification, Li Yi's mind was on how to make the people under his rule richer and his territory larger.

Kou Zhun is worthy of being a famous minister through the ages, and in the position of prime minister, he is conscientious and does a very good job.

………………

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the seventh year of Wude, Li Yi held a banquet in the palace to entertain the ministers.

Kou Zhun, as the prime minister, waited for Li Yi to finish his opening remarks, stood up, raised his glass and said: "Your Majesty, now the country is unified, more than twice as large as the previous dynasty, and the society is stable; Sima Zhongda of the Western Regions has a good business, bringing more than one billion dollars in taxes to the imperial court every year; Liaodong's grain output has increased year by year; The northern grasslands are stable, with 50,000 hectares of wasteland, 30 million horses, and countless cattle and sheep; Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Sili, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou are increasingly multiplying and economically prosperous. The emperor has been on the throne for seven years, and the people of the Tang Dynasty have praised each other,"

Li Yi raised his glass to invite wine and said loudly: "The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty depends on the blessing of the ancestors and ancestors; There are ministers who are dedicated to their duties. Although the land is unified and the gold is perfect, how to make the people of the Tang Dynasty richer cannot only start with money. Born to be taught, there must be faith in the heart, if every day is muddy, I don't know why to live? Survive for whom? How is it different from The Walking Dead? I advocate a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending, with the intention that the people of the Tang Dynasty can choose their beliefs according to their personal preferences, and that various ideas will converge and collide, so that the Chinese civilization can flourish and flourish. "Sima Law" cloud: Although the country is big, the belligerent will die; Although the world is peaceful, it will be dangerous to forget the war. Therefore, my Datang should advocate the spirit of martial arts, strengthen my physique, and deter Yidi in all directions; It is also necessary to advocate the spirit of good literature, encourage the people of the world, be tireless in learning, and die at night. Now that the four seas are calm, it is still far from my grand plan of the Tang Dynasty, and I hope that Zhuqing will work hard to create a prosperous world. ”

Yu Dayou applauded, raised his glass and said: "The emperor's words are refreshing. For example, today, although the dust has settled, but there are still small people coveting the side, the minister asked the emperor to strengthen the power of the imperial history platform and the court governor's mansion, deter the small people, and find out the traitors, so that our government is politically clear, and the people are peaceful. ”

"My Tang Dynasty army far surpasses the Qin and Han dynasties, with many famous generals, brilliant stars, and invincible. The minister asked the emperor for orders and led the navy to the east. ”

Li Yi said: "Yu Qing has great ambitions and is very strong. The country, geography, and personnel distribution are not yet thorough, and Yu Qing should wait to familiarize himself with the situation before making plans. ”

Yu Dayou was a little dazed, and said with a smile: "The ministers have sent people to infiltrate the Dongwei to find out the news. ”

Li Yi patted the case and said: "Okay, you Yu Dayou, thinking about the long term is really long-term." In the morning of the coming day, I ordered you to supervise 100,000 soldiers and pass through the east. ”

Yu Dayou laughed and said, "The minister dares not to obey the order." ”

When the ministers saw Yu Dayou's heroism, they all admired him.

Kou Zhun, as the prime minister, waited for Li Yi to finish his opening remarks, stood up, raised his glass and said: "Your Majesty, now the country is unified, more than twice as large as the previous dynasty, and the society is stable; Sima Zhongda of the Western Regions has a good business, bringing more than one billion dollars in taxes to the imperial court every year; Liaodong's grain output has increased year by year; The northern grasslands are stable, with 50,000 hectares of wasteland, 30 million horses, and countless cattle and sheep; Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Sili, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou are increasingly multiplying and economically prosperous.
