These hundreds of millions of taels of business are beckoning, even Zhu Cihong is not calm, you must know that Daming's tax revenue is only more than 30 million taels a year at this time, and after removing military spending, officials' salaries and expenses for improving people's livelihood, there is not much money left in a year, and now, there is a business that can earn hundreds of millions of taels in a few years, can he not be excited.

He said excitedly: "Master, then let's sell it quickly, it just so happens that it takes a lot of silver to improve people's livelihood in recent years." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Bin shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, we can't be in a hurry." ”

"Ahh Zhu Cihong was puzzled: "Why is this? Not to mention too much, it shouldn't be anything to sell the Zhenyuan cruiser to them in the same way as the Weiyuan battleship, right? ”

Zhang Bin nodded and said: "It's nothing to sell the Zhenyuan cruiser to them for more than 100 ships like the Weiyuan battleship, but there are still many things we have to consider, for example, now our Fuguang Shipyard can produce fifty super battleships a year, if we build everything and sell it to them, then our sailors will have to stand still within five years." Also, a Weiyuan battleship is one million taels, fifty is fifty million taels, even if we are willing to sell them all, they don't have so much money, they only have about 20 million taels a year when they are normal, and now they can take out 10 million taels a year is the limit, and let them owe the remaining 40 million taels first? This is not good, they are used to relying on their debts, and when the time comes, how can we maintain this alliance relationship? Therefore, we must sell weapons and equipment according to their purchasing power, and we cannot exceed 10 million taels a year, and in terms of warships, we must reduce the number of shipments and sell them a maximum of ten ships a year, so that their strength will never be able to catch up with the Ming Dynasty. ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he thought about it carefully, and then nodded: "I'm a little in a hurry, master, what do you think this business should do?" ”

Zhang Bin said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has already negotiated with King Philip IV of Spain, and will first provide them with equipment for 200,000 foot soldiers, worth about 18 million taels, which will be delivered in two years, and as for the warships, they will not be sold to them until five years later." ”

Zhu Cihong was puzzled: "Master, why wait five years, this year is tens of millions of taels of income, don't we want the next three years?" ”

Zhang Bin explained: "This is also a decision made by Weichen after comprehensive consideration, because in recent years, we have to make every effort to produce Zhenyuan cruisers to help the major merchants develop and grow as soon as possible, and at the same time to accumulate for the development of the sailors, and we can also make the European powers mistakenly think that we can produce more than ten Weiyuan battleships or more than 20 Zhenyuan cruisers in a year, so that they will not panic too much, so as to join forces to deal with our Daming." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded again and again: "Well, the master is still thoughtful, so what should we do next?" ”

Zhang Bin said confidently: "Your Majesty, Weichen suggested that a new musket factory and a cannon foundry be built near Dagu Port to meet the needs of Portugal and Spain, as for the shipyard, because the Zhenyuan cruiser and Weiyuan battleship are too difficult to build, and ordinary craftsmen can't do the work above, we can only slowly develop the shipyard in Fuguang and gradually increase the output." ”

Zhu Cihong still nodded again and again and said, "Okay, that's it." ”

After saying this, he subconsciously picked up the brush, which seemed to mean that he was going to continue to review the folds.

Zhang Bin suddenly asked: "By the way, Your Majesty, I don't know how the matter of Nanyang Cheng's announcement of the political envoy is arranged?" ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he put down the brush and said with interest: "Master, don't you say that I have forgotten about this, there was a twist and turn in Nanyang a few months ago, but they just said that Master You want to set up the Nanyang Cheng Announcement Political Envoy Division, and set up the area near Malacca as the Xingang Mansion, and the rest, there is no other in the Tribute, so I just asked the Ministry of Officials to arrange the officials of the Xingang Mansion, as for the situation of the Nanyang Cheng Announcement Political Envoy Division, I am not very clear, so I can only wait for the master to come back and discuss it." It just so happens that there is still some time tonight, or we will discuss the matter of the Nanyang Chengxuan Political Envoy. ”

Zhang Bin was not in a hurry to discuss with Zhu Cihong about Nanyang Cheng's announcement of the political envoy, he said this just to persuade Zhu Cihong to let go of power, and sure enough, Zhu Cihong subconsciously said that it was a matter of time, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for your courage, what do you mean by having a little time tonight?" Are you not going to sleep tonight! Your Majesty, you can't do this, no matter how good your body is, you will be dragged down if you forget to sleep and eat like this. ”

Zhu Cihong touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "Usually I sleep for about two hours a day, but in the past two days, Zhen'er was born, and I spent some time with their mother and son, so I delayed the political affairs a little, so I could only stay up late to make up for it." ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, you can't sleep for two hours a day, if you go on like this, your body will collapse in a few years." ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head again and again and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I was full of energy when I thought that Daming was going to be in my hands, and it was enough to sleep for two hours a day." ”

Zhang Bin still shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you really can't go on like this, you are young now, you are in good health, you can bear it, once you are older, you can't bear it, and with the Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty, this political matter will only increase, and then you are afraid that you will not have time to sleep until you are busy all day." ”

Zhu Cihong was a little lucky and said, "Won't it?" ”

Zhang Bin sighed and said: "How could it not, now that the Ming Dynasty has only two capitals and fourteen provinces, there are so many things, and this is not about to form the Nanyang Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, and there will be many, many colonies in the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the territory area will probably be more than doubled, do you think, will you still have time to sleep when the time comes?" ”

This is indeed the truth, unless the Ming Dynasty stops moving from now on, otherwise, the political affairs in the future will definitely increase exponentially.

What to do?

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "I really haven't thought about this, master, what do you say?" I can't put my politics aside, can I? ”

Zhang Bin still shook his head and sighed: "The problem now is that even if you don't sleep, you won't be able to manage this political matter, think about it, if a person doesn't sleep for many months as an adult, what will happen?" ”

"This!" , Zhu Cihong thought of the consequences, his face changed a little, he didn't sleep for the past two days, he was a little in a trance, if he didn't sleep for many months as an adult, he would definitely be tired to death!

He said with some fear: "It's really not okay to go on like this, master, do you have any way?" ”

Finally got to the point, Zhang Bin secretly observed Zhu Cihong's expression, and said carefully: "Weichen has a way, that is, to expand the cabinet and hand over the power of approving red to the cabinet, you just need to supervise it every day." ”

This means that the cabinet is in charge!

Will this work?

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
