After meeting Queen Ma, Lu Ning led Zhu Di to his county palace and showed Zhu Di the thunder he invented.

"The fourth brother is now insisting on fighting overseas, and there must be a lot of robbers and pirates encountered in the picture, and this thing called thunder should be able to bring you a lot of security."

Zhu Di looked at the iron rod in his hand and felt that it was no different from the rod they made in the army.

"Is there any use for this ordinary short rod?"

Lu Ning turned on the switch, only to hear a crackling sound endlessly, and blue sparks immediately appeared from the other end of the thunder stick.

"I don't know if you know the power of thunder and lightning in the sky? Once it hits a person, it will scorch the whole body of the person and die, and I have this power too! ”

It is not uncommon for lightning to kill people, and it is estimated that I have not only heard of it, but also seen it.

Naturally, he was very happy, so he said.

"It would be nice if someone could try it."

Knowing that this prince was arrogant, Lu Ning hurriedly stopped him and said.

"Fourth brother, be careful, if you want to test, you should also test it with pirates, after all, they are enemies, and when they fight in close combat, they will know the power of this thing."

Zhu Di naturally nodded and asked.

"Brother, don't you know who my brother is? When did you see me brutalize the people of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Lu Ning thought to himself, in history, you have done a lot of things to kill ordinary people, otherwise why would you change the record of Taizu three times?

It's just that now it's another time and space, with his time travel, and the advance of the time to go to the West, the brutal Zhu Di in the past will be gone forever.

He very politely apologized to Zhu Di.

"It's me who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I take back that sentence and ask the fourth brother for forgiveness."

Zhu Di laughed and didn't take it to heart.

"Make amends, it's not okay to say with just your mouth, how many of these things do you say are worthy of our Ming fleet?"

Lu Ning looked embarrassed and said.

"How long has it been since I invented this electricity, and by now, two or three thousand of this thunder stick have been produced. Or I'll give you 500 sticks. ”

Zhu Di glared at him and said.

"There are only five hundred, and what about those who ask for food? At least two thousand five hundred. ”

"If there are more, six hundred."

"Two thousand."

Lu Ning stood up, also a little speechless.

"At most 800 roots, love or not, the main thing is that I don't have so many supplies!"

"Deal."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and invariably blamed each other.

"Profiteers!"

Zhu Di got the order from Thunder, and just wanted to leave, when he suddenly saw Lu Ning smiling.

"I said you kid, shouldn't you bury mines for my brother somewhere."

Lu Ning smiled incomprehensibly and said.

"Anyway, the dry battery in this thunder needs to be charged at any time, if there is no wind turbine to power it, even if you take it, it can only be used as a burning stick."

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said.

"Say, what price do you want the fourth brother to pay?"

Seeing that the fourth brother was really in a hurry, Lu Ning poured him half a cup of tea.

"This is Longjing tea that just came, you try it first, don't be in a hurry to listen to me."

"If you don't give me a complete explanation of this, my brother won't leave, eat you, drink yours, you just don't have a problem with me!"

Seeing that the fourth brother was in a hurry to play tricks, Lu Ning said with a smile.

"If you find diamond mines and gold mines in that continent, you must leave one for me each, and our brothers will partner up to open a big company, what do you think?"

Zhu Di immediately came to the spirit.

"What company?"

Lu Ning said with a smile.

"Let's open a diamond handicraft company, diamonds are eternal, one will last forever, do you say romantic or not?"

"In addition, our Ming Dynasty will soon implement the gold standard, and all currencies will be converted at the price of gold. Wouldn't it be easier to move this forward with a gold mine? ”

Zhu Di frowned and said, "This matter is a little difficult to do. ”

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Di explained.

"Those countries led by the Black Tooth Country are particularly concerned about their gold, as long as outsiders dare to get involved, no matter what tribe it is, they must unite to drive away foreign enemies, my father has a famous training, and the heavenly soldiers go outside to help the needy, and they must not invade those weak and small countries for no reason."

"Do they have gold there?"

Zhu Di shook his head in disappointment and said.

"The smelting technology there is quite backward, and only gold dust can be scooped up, and even made into gold dust, which is used as a material for decoration, and other uses have not been heard of, not to mention, there are some blond and blue-eyed foreigners who go there to carry out slave reselling activities, where the war is in full swing, and it is impossible to carry out the smelting work you mentioned."

Lu Ning lowered his head and pondered, and finally said.

"Since those blonde and blue-eyed people have gone there to be pirates, we will do the opposite, and contact the chiefs of the various tribes there, and help them to fight the invading pirates together and restore peace and stability to their country."

Zhu Di nodded approvingly and said.

"I came back this time for this purpose, and I want to ask for His Majesty's holy decree, only in this way can we get the support of the local tribes, and only then can we be allowed to smelt gold there and have a win-win situation with them."

Lu Ning gave Zhu Di some suggestions, and about three days later, the imperial court issued a will.

approved Zhu Di's recital, telling him that he must have a good relationship with the local tribe on the side of the Black Tooth Country.

After sending Zhu Di away, someone suddenly came to report.

"Lord Qiqi, the envoys of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions have arrived at Yingtianfu, and now they are staying in the Wanguo Pavilion, and it is estimated that they will go to the court tomorrow, see Your Majesty, special purpose, I ask you to go and talk to them first on behalf of the Ming Dynasty."

Even Lu Ning himself didn't know how many ministers Zhu Yuanzhang had caused opposition when he approved Lu Ning to serve as the ambassador for this reception.
