The alliance between Daming and Portugal was thus finalized, and Portugal did not seem to suffer, because it was necessary for Daming to do nothing, as long as they opened all the colonies.

In his view, the greatest gain of the colony was the plundering of gold and silver, and what other things, whether it was ore or agricultural products, returned home from the colony, even the freight was not cost-effective.

Of course, he is not not going to do business, but he does business from Daming to sell tea, porcelain, silk and satin and other valuable things, a boat can earn him tens of thousands of silver that kind, like rice ah or something, he will not think, because these things are too worthless, shipped back to the pants he will lose no wear!

Zhang Bin certainly will not explain to him how to rely on economic colonization to make money, after the two sides finalized some details, Zhang Bin will send him back to the museum and other news, and he himself got up to go to the royal study, to Yongxing Emperor Zhu Ciqi to do "report".

It was not yet noon, Zhu Cixi saw that he came so quickly, and after the teacher and the apprentices saw him, he couldn't help but be curious: "Master, what's the matter, what's the problem?"

Zhang Bin smiled and shook his head, "No, Weichen has already negotiated with the Portuguese messenger."

Zhu Cihui heard the words, not surprised: "Ah, so quickly to negotiate, what benefits are they willing to give?"

Zhang Bin originally said: "They originally wanted to make the American colonies about four million gold and silver proceeds as a reward, let us send troops to help them resist the pressure of all parties, micro-gentlemen did not agree, micro-gentlemen asked them to open all the colonies, let the Daming merchants free to do business."

Four million two income has been a lot, before the year of the tax is also more than four million two, Zhu Ciqi can not help but regret: "Master, why not the four million two ah, open all the colonies to Da Ming what is the benefit, this can be worth four million two?" 」

This, Zhang Bin did not want to explain to Schweier, Zhu Cichao here he must explain, although Zhu Ciqi obeyed him, but after all, people are emperor, sent troops overseas such a big thing if not explained clearly with the emperor is a little can not be said.

Zhang Bin first introduced: "Emperor, you know, if you want to ensure that Portugal is not threatened by a continental power, we must at least send a mariner and Fuguang Army more than 100,000 elite, in order to live in the town."100,000 Fujian Marine Division and Fuguang Army, the consumption of a month is almost one million two, a year is one thousand two million two, we want that four million two and ah!"

Zhu Cichuan did not really consider this question, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Ah, to send 100,000 elites, then we do not want to eat a big loss!"

Zhang Bin shook his head and explained: "Emperor, you know, the Portuguese overseas colonies add up to no smaller than the size of Ming, and most of them are rich in resources, the population is also very large, and most of their colonies are very backward, such as cloth, porcelain, tools and other living materials in those places are very market, if Daming merchants can do all the colonies of Portugal free business, it will definitely allow Daming business to develop rapidly."

Zhu Cihui heard the words, but he quickly asked curiously: "Master, their colonies are quite backward, what money can be made there, how much money can be sold to the people there."

Zhang Bin heard the words, not by a pat on the forehead, he continued to explain: "Emperor, you think, if you can develop that over there into the big Ming now, how much can our Daming merchants earn a year?"How much can taxes increase in a year?”

The question is very simple, Daming now a year of business is more than 20 million two ah, Zhu Cihui heard the words, not excited: "Master, you mean that if you develop over there, a year tax collection can collect more than 20 million more than two?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Bin shook his head: "No, more than this!"

“Ah!”Zhu Cichuan was surprised: “More than that?”Why?”

Zhang Bin said: "Because the tax is not a unilateral increase, Daming merchants have developed, Daming's own business will double, and they can not only sell things and not buy things, they will bring back the specialties of the Portuguese colony, not only will promote the development of Da Ming, but also increase the tax!"

Zhu Cizhi heard the words, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it too much time to do this, we are going to heaven in the sky, and those remote barbarians want to develop into the big Ming now I'm afraid it's not a few years to do it, if it takes decades or even hundreds of years, do we spend it?"

Zhang Bin analysis: "This development is sometimes not only on their own, we can also help them properly, such as planting food, they do not have good seeds and no mature methods, the yield is certainly not high, if you can pass the good seeds and planting technology, as long as the good seeds can adapt to the environment there, within a year or two their food production will be similar to Daming."For example, the smelting of ore, if they will only mine stone, then certainly do not make any money, because the ore is just the shipping cost is not cost-effective, we can teach them the initial smelting ah, so that we have more sources of copper and coarse iron, they can also make more money ah, they have money, our merchants can also make more money, so that the cycle development, it will not take long they will reach the level of Ming, and Damong will be more rich."

Zhu Cichen heard the words and nodded slowly: “I understand, then who is responsible for this matter, the household department?”

Zhang Bin shook his head: "These things involving doing business or not directly by the court, because there is too much money involved, if the court directly to take care of, it is inevitable that there will be officials to see the heart of wealth, serious corruption, money all by those corrupt officials to go away from the court will have no profit."Weichen suggested that this kind of thing or let the merchants do it themselves, the court as long as the corresponding gate is established everywhere, and then pay taxes according to the merchant's income, so that the court tax can almost double, and the East Shengtang can also earn the military expenses of Fuguang Army and Fujian Marine Division, is not the best of both worlds?"

Zhu Cixi thought for a moment, then nodded: "Well, so, the temptation of tens of millions of two gains is indeed too big, can not guarantee that officials do not corrupt, do not strip, or by the merchants themselves to do business, the court only pay taxes on the line."

Fortunately, this Yongxing Emperor Zhu Cichun is not a cunning, if it is a cunning must be suspicious, self-wisdom, this kind of thing once the emperor's hesitation is uncertain, it will not be easy to do.

This general intention was determined, and Zhang Bin began to discuss the specific rules of the alliance agreement with Zhu Cixi.

They were eagerly discussing, but Schweier was in the synagogue, but he was eager to become an ant on a hot pot, and he was afraid that the defender could not convince his emperor his majesty, because the agreement they had finalized would not see any gain, no money, would his majesty of the emperor of the Daming Empire be willing to help Portugal?

Of course, he knows that as long as there are merchants doing business, there will always be gains, and he is afraid that his majesty of the emperor of the Daming Empire will not see it, or he will not see that income!

So he went back and forth in the room for half a day, and rolled over the bed for a night, and the next morning or so, the officials of the Ministry finally came to inform him that His Majesty the Emperor of the Daming Empire had summoned him to the palace to draw up a formal alliance agreement!

Unexpectedly, it was really possible, he almost did not happy to bomp up, without losing any interest, you can invite such a powerful helper to the Daming Empire, the king's majesty will certainly praise him, his governor's seat is afraid of how long he can sit!
