Zhang Bin rented a group of Da Ming merchants to help them transport goods to all over the world, which seemed to be nothing wrong, because it was only the only way to quickly seize the colonial markets of Daming merchants, but he was not the emperor, and it was indeed a little beyond his remit.

If it is the right to be in power, it will certainly be angry, ask no questions, and rent the warships to the merchant without authorization, do you still have my emperor in your eyes!

Of course, this time Zhu Cichao will not be with Zhang Bin blushed because of this matter, he is just a little curious why Zhang Bin should do this.

Zhang Bin explained in detail: "Emperor, Weichen also did this after many considerations.First of all, ocean navigation is different from the short-distance navigation on the coast of Daming, because the ocean navigation is not moving thousands or even tens of thousands of miles, then the fleet must carry enough fresh water and food, and the merchant's largest merchant ship is the big blessing ship, the original cargo is not much, there is no space to carry too much fresh water and food.This creates a contradiction, if they do not have enough fresh water and food, if they do not carry enough fresh water and food, if they carry enough fresh water and food, they can not bring much goods, the goods are not much profit, which makes the ocean business loss of significance, no one will bother to do this unprofitable business, that is, if they let them use the big blessing ship to do the ocean business, they will not do it.And the town far cruiser is different, because the space inside is huge, if you don't carry goods without soldiers, you can carry hundreds of thousands of pounds of goods, so that they have a big profit, and some people are willing to do this business."

Zhu Cizhi heard the words, a little thought, then nodded: "The master said it makes sense, they have to make them rich profits, they will not work hard to run so far to do business."

Zhang Bin then explained: "Also, the emperor should know that when the apocalyptic year, the southeast coast of Daming pirates are rampant, and commercial ships from various countries are frequently robbed, no matter which country's merchant ships, if you encounter pirates, it will definitely lose the blood."Now the pirates off the southeast coast of Daming have been destroyed, but there are many pirates in other waters, coupled with the fleets of various countries and even the merchant fleets of various countries sometimes have a wealth of money, if the merchant fleet meets them in the vast sea, it is likely that they will be killed and robbed of goods.Daming merchants' Dafu ship has no fighting power at all, and the protection scope of Daming Marine will become a lamb to be slaughtered, and nine-nine percent will be robbed.That is why Weisheng would have thought of leasing the town-to-town cruisers to them, because there are more than ten town-field cruisers to form a fleet of pirates, and the general national fleet of sailors is not necessarily an opponent.

Zhu Cichen heard the words, not surprised: “Is there such a thing?”Are there pirates in other areas?The fleets of nations will also attack merchant ships!”

Zhang Bin affirmed: "Of course, when Zheng and Zheng Gong went under the Western Ocean, they were attacked by pirates and several countries along the western coast, and Zheng Gong's fleet could have hundreds of giant ships, tens of thousands of soldiers, and people dared to attack, not to mention small merchant ships."

Zhu Cixiao said with some fear: "If this is the case, then you should really rent the town far cruiser to the Daming merchants to use, otherwise, the next trip to the West will lose the blood will not return, who will dare to go to the West to do business ah!"

Zhang Bin nodded, followed by: "Also, the town's far cruiser rent is not cheap, a rent is 12,000 silver a month, rent a year is cheap is one hundred and two hundred, a hundred is ten million two, a hundred is ten million two, micro-chens rented out more than half is two hundred, the total is 20 million two, so that Fu Guangjun and Fujian Marine Division's military expenses are almost out."And as the big business gets bigger and bigger, we can produce more cruisers, so that the merchants of the big business will get richer and our sailors will become stronger and stronger.”

Zhu Ciqi heard the words and couldn't help but slap his hand and sigh: "Yes, this method is two in one fell swoop, it is a good way, Master, or you think about Zhou Xiang, I can't think of these."

Zhang Bin modestly said: "The emperor has been praised, in fact, the benefits are more than these, this is also conducive to the control of the merchants, because their goods are transported through the town far cruiser, and the warships and the operation of the above artillery are sailors, so that they certainly do not dare to falsely report the number of goods, the emperor only in Spain and Portugal throughout the colonies to establish a market, do a good job of registration, according to the number of goods tax on the line."

Zhu Ciqi was a little puzzled: "Will they allow us to build the city into their colony?"

Zhang Bin confidently nodded: "Of course, they will not oppose, but also welcome it, because where we set up the city department, we said that the merchants of our Daming Empire will often go there to do business, and the merchants are rented town far cruisers, the combat force is also considerable, which is equivalent to giving them a layer of protection to their colonies in disguise, how can they not be happy?"

It turned out that there was also this advantage, and some people gave them protection for free, and they would not object to it, Zhu Cihui nodded: "Well, then, the establishment of municipal departments in the colonies of Spain and Portugal to ensure the tax growth of the imperial court."Yes, Master, what is the situation in Portugal and Spain now, and I have heard that Spain is at war with many European powers, right?”

Zhang Bin nodded: "Yes, Spain and five or six European powers are in a fierce battle, and they can't stand it, and Weichen can only transfer the 50,000 Fuguang Army originally stationed in Portugal to Spain to help them defend."

“Ah!”Zhu Cihui said with great surprise: "Spain can't stand it, why should we alliance with them?"

Zhang Bin said with a meaningful meaning: "Emperor, it is precisely because they can't hold us that we have to ally with them."

This is for what, Zhu Cixiao thought for a while did not want to understand, can only look curiously to Zhang Bin, waiting for his explanation.

Zhang Bin saw the truth, without losing time to teach: "Emperor, this barbarism is the tiger and wolf nature, once they are strong will invade everywhere, like the colony is the most obvious example, if they are strong to a certain extent, they will even put the idea on the big head!"Therefore, we must be proactive and not let them go beyond the Great Ming.So why not let them go beyond the big light, naturally is to find a way to let them fight, fight can not be opened, the sky is dark!"

Zhu Cixi heard the words, carefully experienced it, and then slowly nodded: "Yes, let them play dark, master, you mean to help Spain stop, let them continue to fight, right?"

Zhang Bin nodded with relief: "Yes, that is the only way to let them continue to fight, if we are on the side of the upcoming victory of the anti-Habsburg alliance, the war on the continent will soon end, the anti-Habsburg alliance forces will have the time and opportunity to develop, let them become strong, it will not benefit us."
