My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 44 Do you really think that Old Li doesn’t understand?

"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..."

Old Zhu is farsighted, Li Han smiled. It's a common problem among older people. There's really nothing we, Old Li, can do about it.

But it doesn’t mean there is no way. Wouldn’t it be better to give Mr. Zhu a pair of farsighted glasses?
If I just want to wear glasses, I don’t know the degree…

easy to do!

Wouldn't it be enough to match them according to all possible degree ranges? Then let him try them one by one.

Let’s learn to be like Mr. Zhu, the domineering president, and have the same look!
Anyway, we, Old Li, are rich now, so we are so arrogant!
As he was thinking about it, he continued reading.

"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 am good at it, and I am also good at deploying troops. Old Li, you have to admit that!"

Oh, this was underestimated by Old Zhu.

We, Old Li, can see the pride in Old Zhu from the lines.

Li Han's brows were furrowed into an awkward shape.

I just wanted to be lazy because my hands hurt from writing, so I didn't write in detail about the development of future weapons and wars. Now you, Old Zhu, are really showing off?
Li Han's eyes rolled. It seems that Old Zhu needs to receive a shocking education about modern warfare!
By the way, in order to help Lao Zhu better understand the world, I have to mail him a few maps.

Walking out of the inner hall and into the store, Xu Nian was still sitting leisurely on the recliner.

"Lao Xu, hurry up and get up. I want to ask you something!"

Xu Nian crossed his legs, yawned, and asked without raising his head: "What's the matter?"

“Can you edit videos?”

"Yes? Why? You want me to help you make a promotional video and promote your shop online? No problem!"

Xu Nian continued to stroll leisurely while swinging his feet.

Li Han got angry when he saw him like that, so he went up and kicked him, and only then did Xu Nian become serious.

"Hurry up and help me make a video. The main content should reflect the modern war mode. The content must be popular, grand, and grand. It must reflect the great progress of our country's national defense!"

Xu Nian’s eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Li Han in astonishment.

"We must deploy all possible aircraft, tanks, and artillery, including missiles and nuclear bombs. We must deploy all destroyers, aircraft carriers, space stations, and satellites. The main goal is to achieve information intelligence in the integration of air and space!"

Xu Nian continued to be stunned.

“It would be best if there was also audio commentary throughout the video. By the way, the year should not be reflected in the video content.”

Seeing Xu Nian looking dumbfounded, Li Han asked again, "Can you do it?"

"No, no problem!"

"Also, go buy me another 100 radios, and equip each radio with 10 batteries. Let's talk about the price. Can you give me a lower price? I'll transfer the money to you when the time comes."

"No, it's not." Xu Nian finally came to his senses, "Lao Li, what are you doing? Are you preparing to play the S3 war at home?"

"Never mind me, stop wasting time and get it done!"

After saying that, Li Han picked up a bracelet made of top-quality Huanghuali wood and threw it to Xu Nian, "This is for you. A good brother will never treat you unfairly!"

Xu Nian almost dropped the bracelet with his trembling hands.

"Brother, you are my brother! This thing costs tens of thousands of dollars, be careful not to drop it. If it breaks, will it be yours or mine?
You can't treat your own things like this!"

The last time Li Momo took inventory, Xu Nian participated in the whole process, so he naturally knew the value of this Huanghuali bracelet.

But Xu Nian was still very touched. After all, Lao Li was his good brother, and he just gave him such a valuable thing without hesitation.

Mr. Li is so domineering!
After agreeing readily and saying goodbye to Li Han, Xu Nian left.

Li Han also closed the shop. He had to go get glasses for Lao Zhu first.

It didn't take long to get all the glasses fitted. Although the clerk in the optical shop was quite curious and wondered why the people who needed glasses didn't just be brought in to have their degrees measured, but instead were fitted with a complete set?

Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this, right? But when Li Han threw out a stack of red bills in public, the clerk immediately looked like he had seen his father.

What's wrong with customers liking to collect glasses? Such an elegant hobby needs to be cultivated!
Carrying a big bag of glasses, Li Han also bought a new laptop.

On the way home, Li Han received a transfer from Li Momo and opened his mobile banking app to check.

Wow, a full million!

I didn't expect that those old ginsengs are so valuable. Perhaps, there is some human sentiment involved.

Li Momo also sent a WeChat message, saying that the wild ginseng Li Han prepared for her must be the best of all gifts, and she was going to give her father a big surprise!

Li Han smiled and thought of what Xu Nian said.

No, I really have to pledge myself to you, right?
How is that possible? How could Li Momo, the COO of a large group, look down upon a small boss like me?

He shook his head, thinking that Xu Nian was just talking nonsense, and he was not stupid enough to really think that the rich lady would fall in love with him.

Get this thought out of your mind and focus on your work.

After arriving home, I began to prepare to write back to Lao Zhu.

"Old Zhu, how are you these days?
As for your eye problem, I have got you a good thing called glasses.

I just don't know the specific condition of your eyes, so I got a few more. You can try them one by one and use the one that works best for you.

The specific method of use is very simple, just try it yourself, I won’t say more. ”

Imagine when Zhu Yuanzhang went to court, he looked dignified and intimidating without even getting angry, and then when the court officials presented their memorials.

Lao Zhu took it and looked at it. Hey, I can't see clearly, so he took out his glasses from his pocket and put them on...

In an instant, he turned from the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty into a retired cadre.

Li Han couldn't help but chuckle.

"As for your concern that the princes and nobles will become a shackle that affects the Ming Dynasty, in the long run, there is indeed such a hidden danger.

But not all problems can be solved once and for all.

Moreover, everything has two sides, a positive side and a negative side.

It would be a positive thing if the princes and nobles could become pioneers of Ming Dynasty's maritime trade and lay the foundation for the development of Ming Dynasty's trade.

When they have accumulated wealth to a certain extent, they will try to monopolize. Of course, this is what you, Lao Zhu, mean by control. At this time, the interest groups formed by the princes and nobles will show their negative side.

Therefore, in order to minimize the negativity caused by the princes and noble groups, the best method is still checks and balances!

I will tell you the specific methods of checks and balances when you, Old Zhu, decide to embark on a great voyage of discovery.

By the way, I will send you a map. You can also refer to the map so that you can have a direct impression of the world before conducting overseas trade.

Finally, Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu, do you really think that our Lao Li doesn’t understand military affairs?

Well, I, Old Li, will give you another treasure, called a computer, which contains an introduction to the specific contents of the future war mode.

I have to state in advance that you have to be fully prepared before watching it, because it will subvert everything you know!
I will write the detailed instructions on how to use the computer and attach it to the letter."

After writing the letter, Li Han searched the Internet again and finally found a professional website that provides various types of maps.

Among the vast number of maps, I finally picked out a world nautical map marked with the names of countries in the 16th century. All the waterways and channels on it are clearly marked, and they are in traditional Chinese characters!
Li Han was also full of admiration for these map lovers, who were able to research the world's waterways and geographical information in such detail.

It is really hard to find world shipping maps from the 15th century or earlier. After all, the great voyages of discovery only began in the 15th century, right?
In addition, Li Han also found a surprise————

Detailed distribution map of minerals in Japan during the Edo period!

Of course, these are ultra-high-definition maps of hundreds of megabytes, and it cost Li Han hundreds of dollars to become a member!
I found a professional printing shop and had the map printed out in color at the largest size, which cost me several hundred dollars.

After preparing everything, Li Han did not send the letter immediately. He had to wait for Xu Nian to buy a walkie-talkie and then send it to Lao Zhu.

The errors related to Zhu Di and Yu Qian have been corrected. Zhu Di did not burn the drawings, and Yu Qian was only a minister during the Tumu Incident. He was promoted to Shangshu after Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne. Thank you for your corrections.
