    After listening to Liu Jin¡¯s words, Zhang Mao nodded in agreement, finally having a general direction in his mind.

    Then he thought for a while and said: "Based on the current cost of building a warship in Tianjin Shipyard, wouldn't a warship cost more than 200,000 taels of silver in this navy?"

    "Even if we bring ten warships, it will cost more than two million taels of silver?"

    "My Ming Dynasty has thousands of miles of sea territory, plus the large and small sea areas overseas, these ten warships are of no use at all. After all, we need at least hundreds of warships."

    "If you calculate it this way, the money just to buy the naval warships will be tens of millions of taels?"

    Zhang Mao calculated slightly, and suddenly he couldn't help but shake his head: "If you want more money, your Majesty will definitely not agree."

    Emperor Hongzhi finally raised his internal funds, and now he had to spend tens of millions of money to go out. Emperor Hongzhi would pull out Zhang Maodu and sell them.

    "Tens of millions of taels of silver are definitely needed, but it won't be that much for a year and a half."

    "It can be built in ten or eight years. In one year, ten million taels of silver is enough."

    "Besides, Tianjin Shipyard is its own shipyard, so the price can definitely be cheaper. Wherever you need more than 200,000 taels of silver per ship, tens of thousands taels of silver per ship is enough."

    ¡°In this navy, the bigger the ships, the better. Ships of various types, sizes, and functions must cooperate with each other and form a fleet to maximize combat effectiveness.¡±

    When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately smiled and shook his head.

    ¡°Old Zhang, this is not how this money is spent. What¡¯s more, it is still the money from Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s internal funds, not the money from the Ming Dynasty¡¯s treasury.

    "Judging from the current situation of our Ming Dynasty, we need at least three fleets, which can be called the Bohai Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet."

    "The Bohai Fleet is used to compliment Tianjin and the capital, and also governs the Yellow Sea area. As for the East China Sea Fleet, it governs the vast areas in the East China Sea, Korea, Japan, and Yuxi."

    "The Nanyang Fleet is to be stationed in Nanyang to shock Nanyang and expand in the Nanyang region."

    "Each fleet is equipped with twenty main warships, two hundred medium-sized warships, and a few small warships. In total, there are only sixty large warships. Fifty thousand taels of silver for each is not enough.  Three million taels of silver."

    "As for large and small medium-sized warships, small warships, etc., although these are huge in quantity, they are also cheaper to build. A few million taels of silver are enough to do it. In a short period of time, ten million taels of silver will be prepared.  Just come and build a battleship.¡±

    "Of course, this is just a battleship. It also has corresponding artillery, muskets and other weapons and ammunition. It is estimated that at least several million taels of silver are needed."

    "Including the construction of the Naval War College, personnel recruitment, training, moon sounds, etc., at least 20 million taels of silver will be invested in this early stage."

    "As for future investment, it depends on whether our opponent is strong or not. If we want to dominate the world and travel all over the world, this strength may be slightly insufficient."

    "Especially when we occupy the Golden Continent and Australia, and also enter South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, the scale will have to expand at least several times in the future."

    Liu Jin did some rough calculations and couldn't help being slightly stunned.

    The navy is so expensive~

    The Ming Royal Military Academy and the New Army only cost Emperor Hongzhi a few million taels of silver a year, but this was enough for Emperor Hongzhi to raise a powerful army.

    But this navy, just by doing the math, seems to be spending too much money, and if it starts with tens of millions of taels of money, the subsequent maintenance, upkeep, daily training expenses, combat, etc. will probably be astronomical as well.  .

    Can Emperor Hongzhi agree?

    Even though the properties Liu Jin bought for Emperor Hongzhi were very profitable, the profits were divided into tens of millions of taels of silver in one year.

    But this money can¡¯t all be used to support the army. This is the emperor¡¯s internal money. He still needs to save some money for Emperor Hongzhi every year.

    The cost is too high.

    "Can your Majesty agree?"

    After Zhang Mao heard this, he frowned and said after thinking about it.

    "First bring the memorial to His Majesty for a look. If it doesn't work, we can only slowly build it year by year. This yearp; "With the navy, our Ming Dynasty can easily take over the entire Nanyang region. When the time comes, we can take over any island. Because His Majesty paid for the navy to be built, it will naturally belong to His Majesty's industry."

    "When the time comes, your Majesty, even if everything is good for these islands, will rent these islands to major commercial banks to build plantations, and you will not be able to rent them for tens of millions of taels of silver a year?"

    "There are also Australia and the Golden Continent. Such a huge land. The Golden Continent is not only rich in gold, but the Southern Golden Continent is also rich in silver."

    "When the time comes, your Majesty will naturally occupy and develop these gold and silver mines first. It will not be difficult to earn tens of millions of taels of silver a year."

    "Your Majesty, with the navy, our Ming merchants can straighten their backs and walk around the world. Even if they do business around the world, they can bring tens of millions of taels of silver wealth to our Ming Dynasty every year."

    "And if we don't have a strong navy, our Ming Dynasty's interests will not be protected in the future. Once we arouse the jealousy of others, war will inevitably come."

    "As the saying goes, he who is prepared is safe from danger. If you are willing to fight, you will perish. If you forget to fight, you will be in danger. If you don't forget, the king of the world must have a reasonable naval force. This is for the future of our Ming Dynasty."

    Liu Jin very seriously explained to Emperor Hongzhi that this business must be profitable, and also pointed out the necessity of building a strong navy.
