My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 42: Lao Li, there are things you don’t understand too

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang could only worship Li Han in his heart!
This guy Lao Li has controlled the situation to an incredible degree, and his control and exploitation of people's hearts is even more jaw-dropping.

If anyone becomes Lao Li's enemy, Lao Zhu can only pray that he can keep his body intact.

Fortunately, Lao Li is on our side. As long as he is there, the Ming Dynasty will be invincible!

Zhu Yuanzhang was grateful again in his heart that he had received help from Li Han, which showed that he was indeed a man with great luck!
After calming down, he picked up the letter again and continued reading.

"The iron must be strong before it can be forged. Whether it is foreign war or trade, it must be based on the strength of the Ming Dynasty itself.

One of the most intuitive manifestations of strength is military power!
As pioneers of overseas trade, princes and nobles checked and balanced the landlord and aristocratic groups. The imperial court used taxation to regulate the distribution of wealth. At the same time, they also had to control the guns!

The barrel of a gun is a musket!

The musket is a major invention that can change the form of war. The Ming Dynasty should focus on the production and improvement of muskets. In the future, muskets will be the dominant force in wars!"

Musket? Do you mean a firearm?

The idea of ​​a fire stick popped up in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

Just that thing, can it change the form of war?
What else can that thing do except make people look black? Scare elephants?
Last year, when I ordered Fu Youde, Lan Yu, Mu Ying and others to go on an expedition to Yunnan, I did bring a musket team with me. But that thing seemed to have no other use except to scare elephants.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang became secretly proud.

Hehe, Lao Li finally doesn’t understand something too, hahahaha.

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely proud, his eyebrows were beaming with joy, and he couldn't stop smiling. He looked like an old man who had not won a game of chess for many years and finally defeated his old opponent.

At the end of the letter, there were some words of greeting, but Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little dizzy after reading it.

As I get older, my eyesight gradually deteriorates, and reading memorials and official documents becomes more and more troublesome. Sometimes, I have to hold the paper farther away from my eyes in order to see it more clearly.

I have to ask Lao Li if he has any good ideas.

After a short rest, Zhu Yuanzhang began to write back to Li Han.

"Lao Li, the radio handheld transmitter you sent is truly a magical device!

You didn’t see it. Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and others were stunned after seeing the radio handheld station. It was really funny.

The radio handheld radio was indeed a magical weapon that could bring about major changes in the Ming Dynasty's government and military.

I even think that if this thing can be popularized throughout the Ming Dynasty, it will bring profound changes to the entire Ming society!"

Having written this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh. It would be great if Lao Li could send more radio handheld stations.

As a god-like figure like Old Li, he should be able to understand my little thoughts, right?
Hehe, I see through it but don’t say it out loud. I see through it but don’t say it out loud.

"I have thoroughly understood what you said about overseas trade and currency. As the pioneers of overseas trade, the princes and nobles have grown into a new bourgeoisie, and they can indeed effectively check and balance the landlord and aristocratic class.

But we have a question. If the princes and nobles completely control overseas trade, will they use it to control the Ming Dynasty's economy? Will it become another shackle for the Ming Dynasty?
I hope you, Mr. Li, can help me solve my doubts."

Li Han's comprehensive explanation of the landlord and aristocratic class had already begun to change Zhu Yuanzhang's ideological concepts.

He now considers problems in the same way as Li Han. Although it is still a bit far from socioeconomics for him, it has produced a small sprout.

"Recently, when I was reviewing memorials or reading letters, my eyes always felt blurry. The closer I got, the blurrier it became. But when I was farther away, I could see more clearly.

I know that my eyesight is not good enough as I am getting older, but I just want to ask, Mr. Li, do you have any good ideas?"

As he wrote, Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his sore eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that time really is not forgiving.

"Finally, Lao Li, although you have extraordinary talent, there are things you don't understand.

Firearms are only useful for shooting down birds or scaring elephants or insects. They are not suitable for fighting wars.

"When it comes to fighting, I'm good at it, and I'm also good at deploying troops. Old Li, you have to admit that!"

Having written this, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer hold back his laughter with triumph. He had finally managed to get back at Old Li.

After writing the letter, he did not rush to the Buddhist temple, but called the palace steward to carefully select several hundred-year-old top-quality wild ginseng and brought them to the Buddhist temple.

Mr. Li said he doesn’t need it, so do we really not want to send it?

How could I, Old Zhu, be the kind of pedantic person who doesn't understand the ways of the world? Old Li gave me a divine weapon, this friendship is too great, and I can't repay it with anything!

These few ginsengs of ours are just like a gift from afar, a gift of goose feathers, which is a token of sentimentality.

These things should be useful to a carefree person like Lao Li, right?

As for the thousand-year-old ginseng...

Is there anyone who really believes that scam?
If I really send the so-called "millennium ginseng" to Lao Li, people will laugh at me.

……

Business has been good these days and almost all the wooden artworks on display have been sold out.

Now Li Han has become a millionaire.

Hehe, nowadays, Old Li can achieve "partial retirement" at a young age. He is truly a winner in life.

All this is thanks to Li Momo. She just brought a few girlfriends over and bought out all the wooden artworks in no time.

Without blinking an eye!
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. The circle of rich people is full of rich people!

What is a network?

This is called connections!
Of course, these wooden artworks are genuine and priced fairly, and such precious materials are almost impossible to buy in China.

Because the precious trees in the country, such as red sandalwood and Hainan huanghuali, were almost all cut down as early as the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Well, this is more or less due to the fault of Old Zhu.

However, this evil fate has come to Li Han again.

Even the red sandalwood from Indonesia and the huanghuali from Myanmar have long been the target of domestic wealthy merchants and have long been in great demand.

Therefore, whoever buys these wooden artworks will truly make a profit.

It's a win-win situation.

only……

"Li Momo, you are the CEO of such a big company, why do you hang out in my small shop every day?"

Li Han looked at Li Momo who was occupying his recliner and said helplessly.

The Li Momo in front of him no longer had the demeanor of the overbearing CEO that night.

At this time, she was wearing very casual shorts and T-shirt, lying on a recliner, with her pair of slender, white legs casually crossed and swaying.

He was holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand and fanning himself slowly. He looked like a retired old man, as leisurely as he could be.

This image is so contrasting!

Could it be that his true colors were revealed in front of Old Li?

Li Momo replied seriously: "I'm not the president, I'm just the chief operating officer, COO."

Li Han said angrily, "I don't care if you are a COO or a UFO. Don't you have to go to work?"

Li Momo continued to answer seriously:

"As long as I make a plan, my subordinates will take the initiative to help me execute it. I only need to coordinate and don't need to worry about the details."

Okay, you win. I, Old Li, am impressed by your sincerity.

So Li Han turned his target to Xu Nian who was occupying another recliner.

"What about you? You're a new employee who just joined the company and you don't have to go to work?"

Xu Nian had a sad face and said, "I have no choice. I finally got a vacation and was doing well at home, but Li Momo snatched it away from me!
He said his dad was having a birthday and we were looking for a birthday present for him, and ended up finding you. "
