The conditions offered by Ye Chunqiu are just rubber stamps for the palace or cabinet.

What the cabinet has obtained is the stability of the future maritime borders.

This is obviously a very good deal, especially in the current situation.

Throughout the dynasties, the enemies of the central dynasty came from the north, so the mission of any central dynasty was mostly to build rivers and provide disaster relief, and to mobilize all forces to prepare for war in the north. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, such a policy has never changed.

But now, when enemies at sea appear, they don’t know how to deal with it. After all, there is no Great Wall along the coast. After all, the mobilization of troops by land is far less fast than the enemies at sea. When Quanzhou is attacked, even if you have a million troops, you will spend a month or two to transfer people to Quanzhou. Maybe in a few days, they will have already attacked Hangzhou.

This unprecedented enemy left the cabinet without the time and energy to raise a plan specifically for marine defense, and throwing it to the Zhenguo Mansion was obviously a one-time and for all.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Jian and several other great scholars today asked Zhu Houzhao to come forward to recruit Ye Chunqiu to discuss the matter.

They were really anxious, but Liu Jian was very cautious and the franchise seemed to...

There should be no big opposition in the court. Of course, there will be some, because this is equivalent to opening a hole for the national policy of maritime ban. But now, the focus of the court is to establish a navy to defend the stability of the sea border. Some people value whether the benefits obtained from the Zhenguo Mansion have been reduced. The rest should oppose the part that is franchiseed by the Zhenguo Mansion. Even if it is to make trouble, it will not cause too much storm.

Liu Jian looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "What do you think about Your Majesty?"

He was obviously already moved when he asked this.

Zhu Houzhao scratched her head and couldn't help but say, "I don't know anything either."

Uh... So Zhu Houzhao had to look at Ye Chunqiu and said, "Chunqiu, what do you mean is that if Zhenguo Mansion franchises the maritime trade, can we completely raise the military funds of the navy?"

Ye Chunqiu said seriously: "It is completely feasible, and I dare not boast, but if I don't open the maritime trade, I will not be able to convince all shareholders."

Zhu Houzhao nodded. This is the truth. If you want to cut other people's meat, you always have to give me some sweetness. So he said, "I have no objection. If the cabinet has no objection, then do it like this."

Liu Jianze exchanged glances with Li Dongyang and others, and no one seemed to object.

This time, the palace, the cabinet and Zhenguo Mansion were both satisfied. The court was missing a single problem. The palace was anxious to build a naval commander, not to mention that the naval commander of Zhenguo Mansion was the Ming Naval commander. After all, Zhu Houzhao, the royal family and the Dukes of various countries accounted for more than 60% of the shares.

Ye Chunqiu suddenly felt happy and suddenly got the right to franchise.

This is a monopoly, and it is a naked monopoly. In the world, no matter who wants to use porcelain and silk, he can only buy it from the caravans of Zhenguo Mansion. And the specialties in the world, the Sumatra spices may not be worth a penny in Sumatra, but in the Ming Dynasty, it was a sky-high price. In addition, there were silver mines in Japan and even countless gold mines.

When Ye Chunqiu thought about this, he felt excited.

Since the answer that everyone has been satisfied with has been discussed, Liu Jian felt relieved, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Rong, and others have to go and make a charter for you, and I will ask Your Majesty to take a look."

The matter has been finalized, and what Liu Jian is most worried about is that this franchise is not enough to allow Ye Chunqiu to appease the shareholders. So he glanced at Ye Chunqiu with a meaningful look and said, "For the rest, please ask the Duke of Zhenguo."

Ye Chunqiu quickly stood up and said, "Where is this? This is a matter of duty and a destiny."

Several bachelors left, and Zhu Houzhao said impatiently: "Chunqiu, what are you trying to do? I look at you and seem to be keeping you in a silence. Come on,

"Map." The bachelors left, and Ye Chunqiu felt much more relaxed and comfortable in front of Zhu Houzhao.

"I'll get it." Zhu Houzhao hurriedly went to carry the map with a hurry. The two of them had a tacit understanding and directly spread the sheepskin map on the ground. Zhu Houzhao blinked his eyes and said, "Hmm?"

Ye Chunqiu said: "Your Majesty, the Portuguese nationals are only one million households, and the soldiers are only one hundred thousand. But can your Majesty know how rich the Portuguese royal family is? Their annual income is much more than the taxes in the Ming Dynasty in the year, so they have the spare time to build more fleets and recruit more warriors."

After Ye Chunqiu said that, he simply took a brush and began to draw ink dots on the map. Anyway, such maps have been printed countless times, and Ye Chunqiu was not worried about being ruined. From his location in Portugal, to North Africa, to West Africa, to Cape of Good Hope and India, to Malacca, Ye Chunqiu brought out the Portuguese stronghold one by one and said, "What they rely on is sea trade, the sandalwood and spices in South China. When he arrived at the Florian, his value was a hundred times.

There are countless gold and silver mines in Fei. In addition, diamonds and jewelry are also produced. The population of Tianzhu is tens of millions, which is quite wealthy. They established strongholds in Tianzhu, and they could transport goods to Tianzhu for sale at any time, and then transport the properties of Tianzhu back to Folangji. There is even a population transaction. This is Africa. They transport the population to various ports as slaves. In short, this small Portugal is just the size of the capital, but it is rich enough to rival our Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty will look here again..."

Ye Chunqiu pointed to America and said, "Your Majesty, can you tell me how much wealth does this America provide to the Spaniards?"

Zhu Houzhao shook her head like a rattle, then said, "You said."

Ye Chunqiu said: "According to statistics, the Spanish got 36 million kilograms of silver from the Americas, that is, silver alone is 500 million taels..."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened, obviously surprised, but this time, she also felt intuitively.

In fact, what Ye Chunqiu mentioned is the income from Spain in the Americas over the past century. He deliberately concealed the time and directly reported the amount.

What is the concept of 500 million tael silver?

Zhu Houzhao was a little confused. The annual silver pattern in the Ming Dynasty was about two million, and it had been around for 120 years. In other words, the emperor of the Zhu family, as a luxurious royal family, and the people who ruled tens of millions of people, had received more than 120 years of silver and taxes, which was less than half of that of a little Spain. Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that he was quite a failure. What was the promised son of heaven and rich in all the world?
