After dealing with the Vietnamese Guard, Zhao Fu returned to Qin City. Just as he was about to discuss the next step with Bai Qi and the others, Zhang Baishu came to find him and told him that the Hundred Origin Pills had been refined.
Unknowingly, the Hundred Origin Grass had been planted on a large scale, and with the help of the Flower Spirits, it was finally time for them to be used on a large scale.
The Hundred Origin Pill was a Stage 2 medicinal pill that could increase one's cultivation speed by four times. With this medicinal pill, Zhao Fu's soldiers would be able to cultivate even faster. At the very least, their cultivation speed would not be any slower than that of soldiers from main cities. This made Zhao Fu feel quite happy, and he received the first bottle of Hundred Origin Pills that Zhang Baishu had refined.
The Hundred Origin Pills were as big as soybeans and were a dense green color. They didn't smell like medicinal pills but like a type of grass, and they gave off a faint fragrance.
Zhao Fu consumed one and felt a large amount of spirit energy spread out in his abdomen. The effects were quite good, and he smiled as he said in a cordial tone, "Baishu, go back and refine more. Go back and refine it so that the entire army can use it. "
Zhang Baishu looked quite delighted, and he felt quite flattered by Zhao Fu's tone. He was already quite satisfied that Zhao Fu was satisfied, so he obeyed and began to refine a large number of Hundred Origin Pills.
Following this, Zhao Fu discussed with Bai Qi and the others about the strategic direction for the future, as well as some other matters. After making these decisions, Zhao Fu went to talk to Ba Qing.
After all, conquering the outside world required money, and exchanging equipment for soldiers required even more money. There were many other things that required money, and after the Ghost Festival, Qin City was quite short on money.
"Ba Qing! What do you think of the business side? " Zhao Fu sat on a chair and looked at Ba Qing, who gave off a virtuous aura.
Ba Qing smiled and lightly nodded as she replied, "Your Majesty! I do indeed have some ideas. "
When he heard this, Zhao Fu motioned for Ba Qing to continue.
"Your Majesty! With the chaotic situation right now, equipment and medicinal pills would be the most profitable, and they would increase the enemy's strength. If Your Majesty doesn't want to sell them, we can only look at traditional business.
"Most countries' economies are based on a certain type of economy, such as agriculture, animal husbandry, or the current industry that Your Highness has mentioned."
"First, all of the factions have plenty of food, but some of the Outlanders don't have enough. A region is so big, and it's not just the system main cities that have commercial value. The other regions also have value, so we can consider trading with them."
"Next is animal husbandry. The commercial value of this isn't very high, because no one seems to lack meat. However, it can still be developed, and there are still some profits to be made."
"I suggest that Qin City should develop its breeding industry. Now that Qin City controls more than 500 miles, we can set aside a piece of land to breed some animals. Not only can it supply the residents of Qin City, but it can also be sold in large quantities."
As for industry, it would not appear in this era for the time being, so he could give it up completely and turn his attention to business itself. Now, Qin's main source of income was running restaurants and selling all kinds of special products.
"As the system develops, many people have become Barons and set up shops in the system main cities. Under my management, the profits of the restaurants have continuously decreased, and now, they only make about half of what they used to.
"However, this is already the highest they can make. The competition for the restaurants is incredibly intense, and they only make half of what they used to because of their reputation and special dishes. As such, the restaurants' business has stabilized.
"As such, the restaurants' business cannot be changed, and they can only increase their profits by selling more regions. The more regions they open, the better.
"At the same time, the special products' profits have stabilized, and they no longer make as much money as before. However, this can be changed through business methods.
Using a wholesale model, he would no longer be able to operate on his own. Instead, he would be able to sell them at a slightly lower price. He would be able to maximize the sales volume and obtain profits.
"There are also special products, such as East Green's freshwater fish, Red Plum Plains' red plums, and Hundred Bamboo's Bamboo Rats. These can be farmed, so they don't have to spend money to buy them. Instead, they can set up their own farming regions in different regions. This way, they can make even more profits, as there are no costs.
"It's a pity that most people are self-sufficient in the Heaven Awaken World, or else they would be able to make even more profits."
After hearing Ba Qing's words, Zhao Fu felt that there were still many things that he had not taken care of. Ba Qing was indeed a genius in this area, and she was able to immediately see so many problems.
The restaurants' business caused Zhao Fu to sigh. The restaurants' business was Qin Town's first pot of gold, but as other people's statuses rose, Zhao Fu's advantage no longer existed.
"However, how are we going to do this?" Zhao Fu asked. Some of the things that Ba Qing said could be done, while others couldn't. For example, there were hundreds of times more people in the wilderness than in the system main cities, so there was indeed a lot of profit.
"However, how are we going to do this? The wilderness is so big, and the villages are scattered all over the place, so how can we trade with them? This seems impossible. "
If their location was exposed, Zhao Fu wouldn't just be doing business with them.
Indeed, this was a world where good and evil coexisted, and there were some benefits to living in villages. As such, Zhao Fu's methods could be gentler!
What Zhao Fu needed was people. No matter what method he used, the more people he had, the better. However, he didn't want to put his soldiers in danger. After all, this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.
It had been said before that Zhao Fu's faction was neutral, and it leaned towards evil. After all, completely good people wouldn't live for long in this world.
Apart from this, there were other things that could be done, such as developing agriculture, animal husbandry, and establishing their own farms in the various regions. In the future, they would be able to expand and consolidate the area that they controlled.
However, this would require a lot of manpower, and it would take at least a few hundred soldiers to ensure their safety. Zhao Fu could only carry out this plan after exchanging equipment for a large number of people.
"I understand, I'll take care of this matter." Zhao Fu was quite pleased with Ba Qing's ideas, as they would be of great help to Qin Town's business.
Ba Qing happily smiled – Zhao Fu was willing to listen to her ideas.
Following this, Zhao Fu took out a map of Qin Town's territory. This map had been drawn up by Qin Town during his conquest, and it was incredibly detailed. Although the area of a few hundred kilometers seemed quite large, it was actually quite small. Zhao Fu wondered when he would be able to restore the Qin Empire to its former glory.
Zhao Fu found a relatively flat area and planned to go there later to see if he could develop animal husbandry there.
