Mu Chun of the Mu Prince's Mansion talked a lot with Zhu Yunwen, and he felt that he had benefited greatly from chatting with Zhu Yunwen.

Because he can learn a lot, such as developing Yunnan's specialty products and selling them nationwide through the repaired cement roads.

He had never really thought of this before. Of course, he didn't understand Zhu Yunwen's advanced concept of "building roads first, then getting rich."

Therefore, it's normal that Mu Chun hadn't thought of these things.

Zhu Yunwen reminded him that the reason why the living standards in other parts of the Ming Dynasty had suddenly improved was not only because the court had provided a strong tax exemption policy.

It wasn't just because Zhu Yunwen ensured that all the people in the land received fair land.

It's not just that they all solved their food problem.

What's truly important is that Zhu Yunwen repaired and paved roads throughout the country, and even created bicycles and tricycles as convenient means of transportation for people to travel to various places.

Therefore, it has made it more convenient for people to do business on a daily basis, and the transportation costs have been reduced.

It's important to know that in the past, some local specialty products were difficult to sell nationwide.

For example, in a county in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang region, there is a very famous snack called Jinhua ham.

This thing used to be popular only in a small area. If you wanted to transport it to other places, it would take a long time, it was easy to break on the way, and the transportation cost was high, so the price was also high.

Therefore, it is difficult to expand the business to other areas.

But now that the road is repaired, even if it's across provinces, it only takes three to five days, just three to five days.

As long as the ham is properly sealed, it will absolutely not spoil. Moreover, if you use a tricycle to transport some ham within these three to five days, you will only need to pay a labor cost.

Once they arrive at the destination, they can be sold and make a lot of money. With low costs and convenient transportation, business is easier, and that's how it develops, isn't it?

Therefore, Yunnan can follow suit and sell its specialty products to other parts of the country.

As long as there is trade, it can stimulate the local economy. Stimulate the local economy, and the people will have work to do. With work to do, they can earn money.

Then you can use the money to buy food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

Wouldn't that immediately revitalize the economy? Wouldn't that give people a livelihood and allow them to live a better life?

So after talking with Zhu Yunwen, Mu Chun knew what to do next.

But at this very moment, he was in a bit of a dilemma, and looking at Zhu Yunwen, he said:

"Speaking of specialties in Yunnan, we seem to have Xuanwei ham, a famous food from Xuanwei Prefecture in Yunnan. Could we perhaps sell this ham all over the country?"

Zhu Yunwen said, "Since you say it's a relatively famous local specialty, then it must taste good. As long as it tastes good, selling it all over the country shouldn't be a problem."

You could easily give these better-tasting items to officials you have good relationships with in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, letting them try them. Wouldn't that be like giving them free advertising?

If they find it delicious, they will surely have someone buy some for them. Knowing that these high-ranking officials and nobles enjoy it, it will inevitably create a craze.

If all else fails, I'll publicly promote it for you when I get back, wouldn't that be better? Of course, Yunnan isn't just about Xuanwei ham, is it?"

Na Muchun was very excited, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"By the way, we also have fresh flower cakes here. I think this is extremely rare in other parts of the Ming Dynasty."

However, in Yunnan, some women make flower cakes that are exceptionally delicious.

Zhu Yunwen immediately nodded and said, "Yes, that's good. This is also a very good thing. In addition, we can put some labels on these flower cakes."

For example, it's made with fresh flowers, like those of a beautiful woman. Women who eat it will have a beautifying effect. Men who eat it will feel refreshed and have a pleasantly fragrant breath.

In short, we could have more promotional materials like this. Of course, as I mentioned before, Yunnan has a great industry: abundant medicinal herbs.

Moreover, when ordinary people have no food to eat, they often go into the mountains to gather some herbs to eat.

Fortunately, I have a book here that was compiled from some edible herbs and herbs with very good medicinal effects, which was recorded by Zhu Su, the Prince of Zhou, when he was exiled here.

I'll give you this book for now. Take a good look at it and copy down its contents.

Then let the people search for these herbs and sell them to herb collectors in other parts of the Ming Dynasty.

Mu Chun was overjoyed. After Zhu Yunwen's guidance, he suddenly realized that Yunnan had great potential.

But that's not all. When Zhu Yunwen mentioned medicinal herbs, he thought of a very famous medicine used in later generations for treating bruises, stopping bleeding, and healing wounds, called Yunnan Baiyao.

So he said, "Does your Yunnan region also have a medicine that is very effective in treating sprains, bruises, and other external injuries?"

Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Mu Chun immediately exclaimed excitedly:

"It is indeed a white powdery medicine. When we attacked Yunnan, we were often injured. We obtained this medicine locally, and it was very effective, almost miraculous."

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said:

"Isn't this something that can be developed? If we manufacture Yunnan Baiyao in large quantities and sell it all over the country, wouldn't we be able to penetrate the pharmaceutical market?"

At this moment, Mu Chun's hands were trembling. He felt that what Zhu Yunwen said was absolutely right, completely right.

Xuanwei ham, flower cakes, various medicinal herbs, and Yunnan Baiyao (a traditional Chinese medicine)—all these can be marketed as Yunnan's specialty products throughout the country.

All of these can bring a lot of income to Yunnan and provide a very good source of income for the people.

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen's train of thought was so focused that it was impossible to stop him, and he continued speaking to Mu Chun:

"Besides these things, I remember that the tea from Yunnan is also quite good, like Pu'er tea. You can also grow this kind of tea in large quantities."

These kinds of black teas can be labeled, and if the tea is grown to a higher quality, they can be sold all over the country. Isn't it easy to create a product?

In addition, as far as I know, Yunnan is a region with relatively developed mineral resources. Jade can often be mined in some mines, so you could also start a jade business.

Aren't these all very profitable things?

Mu Chun almost wanted to kneel down and worship Zhu Yunwen.

He only regretted not meeting Zhu Yunwen sooner. If Zhu Yunwen had come to the people of Yunnan sooner, wouldn't they have been able to escape their miserable lives sooner?
