As for whether the Ming Empire would explode after obtaining the Dexing Copper Mine, Malin didn't care. Because the general trend of the Ming civil servant group had already been established. With them as a constraint, it was difficult for the Ming Empire to expand overseas.

Even the warlike Emperor Zhengde focused more on the Mongolian side in the north. Without destroying the Mongolian tribes, the Ming Empire would not be able to turn its attention to the ocean.

Moreover, Ma Liming would like to thank Liu Daxia for his "loyal ministers" like this. It was his existence that made the Ming Dynasty lose the good opportunity to compete with the West for the ocean.

If he was still a Chinese in this life, Malin would naturally hate him, a "loyal minister" who "does bad things well". But now Malin is the monarch of Beihai Kingdom. His butt is different, and his position in his head has changed. Although he still sighs in his heart, Malin still has to thank Lao Liu for his contribution. This mentality is very strange. There is not only "angry and not fighting" for China's loss of maritime power, but also relieved that the dragon of the Ming Empire was bound by himself... There is no way, who made Malin a time traveler of the soul of China...

As long as there are "loyal ministers" like Liu Daxia, Ma Lin will not have to worry about the Ming Empire going to grab his job at sea.

As for the issue of making the Ming Dynasty rich after the explosive production of the Dexing copper mine, Malin was not worried at all. Because the greedy civil servant group would definitely reach out to their hands after seeing the huge benefits of the copper mine. At that time, even if the copper mine can produce a large amount of copper coins, how many of them can fall into the treasury will be a question mark...

But it is undeniable that as long as the Ming Dynasty developed the Dexing copper mine, it would relieve the crisis of lack of copper coins and beckoned, and it would be a huge favor.

You should know that the problem of lack of money has always been the top problem of the feudal dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, due to lack of money, they even started to use iron to cast money. There is no way, the social economy is too developed, so there is not enough money. If anyone can help solve the problem of money shortage, in which country, they will be the first-class hero.

So, after I issued a memorial to inform the location of Dexing copper mine, Ma Lin began to think about - at that time, what benefits should I ask the Ming court...

"Well, I only sold 100,000 kilograms of saltpeter every year. I'm so stingy. I have to increase the quantity greatly..."

"And there is mercury, which is very important for the development of gold and silver mines, and requires a large amount of procurement every year..."

"It is basic to purchase a large amount of cheap copper, and this must be..."

...

Malin's memorial was sent directly to the Ming Dynasty cabinet, but not to Zhengde. In fact, giving the memorial to the cabinet and to Zhengde are two different things.

If the Dexing copper mine is handed over to Zhengde, then Zhengde will definitely swallow the copper mine into the royal private ownership. At that time, the royal treasury will not be short of money, and the Emperor of Ming will have a stronger voice. At that time, the cabinet must bow to the emperor. Because they need copper to cast coins. Moreover, Zhengde has the Dexing copper mine, and he will have the capital to form a powerful army. Perhaps, the Ming Empire is in front of him.

But, this is not what Marin wants to see…

If he was reborn as a literati of the Ming Empire, Malin would definitely devote his copper ore to Zhengde as a source of funds for the prosperity of the Ming Empire.

However, his butt determines his head. Since Marin was reborn as a European monarch, he naturally did not want to see that the military of the Ming Empire was too strong. Therefore, it was not even possible to think about giving copper ore to Zhengde.

And it would be completely different to hand the memorial directly to the Ming cabinet...

The cabinet is the highest representative of the Daming civil servant group. As long as the memorial falls into the hands of the cabinet, while fulfilling the cabinet's political achievements, the dominance of the copper mine will definitely be controlled by the cabinet.

If Liu Jin was still there, the copper mine would be snatched by the inner court as Zhengde's money bag. However, the powerful Liu Jin had already fallen, and the other members of the "Eight Tigers" could not stand up to the wall and could not fight against the powerful Daming civil servant group. At that time, the control of this huge copper mine would definitely fall into the hands of the civil servant group.

Then, the consequence is that the civil servant group becomes stronger. Under layers of exploitation, not too many people finally fall into the Ming Dynasty treasury. At the same time, after mastering the money bag, the civil servant group becomes more confident when competing with Zhengde...

Therefore, handing over the Dexing copper mine to the emperor or the cabinet is a total of two consequences. For his own interests, Malin finally chose to hand over the Dexing copper mine to the Ming cabinet, a representative of the Ming Dynasty civil servant group. In this way, it can also be exchanged for the favor of the civil servant group.

Moreover, Emperor Zhengde could not say anything. Because the memorial was passed through the cabinet and it was originally a matter of following the rules. It was not in accordance with the rules to directly submit secret letters to Zhengde.

In addition, if Malin directly submitted a secret copy to Zhengde and presented the Dexing copper mine to Emperor Zhengde, he would definitely offend the Daming civil servant group. The literati were very slight, and God knew how they would revenge themselves in the future.

Also, Marin was familiar with history and knew that Emperor Zhengde had no queen and died early. Once Zhengde was scattered, his behavior of privately offering Dexing copper mine to the emperor would definitely bring crazy revenge from the civil servant group.

Therefore, whether it is considered from the perspective of one's own interests or from the future, giving Dexing Copper Mine to the Daming Civil Official Group is the best choice.

In addition to the formal memorials, Malin also wrote private messages to the Ming Dynasty chief assistant Yang Tinghe and others, informing the importance of Dexing copper mine.

It is true that Yang Tinghe is a gentleman, but he is also a civil servant. In the letter, Ma Lin introduced the reserves and significance of Dexing Copper Mine to him in detail, and told him that whoever controls the Dexing Copper Mine would control the Ming Dynasty's money bag. I believe that with Yang Tinghe's wisdom, he would not know what to do. Moreover, Ma Lin also wrote private messages to other civil servants. As long as these people are not stupid, they will definitely interfere in Dexing Copper Mine. As long as Dexing Copper Mine is controlled by the civil servant group, Ma Lin would feel relieved...

As for Zhengde? Well, I'll send a few more Napoleon guns to let this naughty kid play with them. Goods without sons are not worth long-term investment...

...

Just as Marin was writing those private messages at his desk, Schwartz, the vice principal of the Royal West Point Military Academy, ran over to discuss with Marin whether to add a Naval Department at the Royal West Point Military Academy...

Today's Royal West Point Military Academy was stripped of the University of Orrich, with only the Army Department. Among them, it includes several projects such as the Infantry Department, Cavalry Department, Artillery Department, Engineering Department and Logistics Department.

But the Kingdom of America is far away, so Schwartz, as executive vice president, feels that naval subjects should be added at the Royal West Point Military Academy. After all, naval is essential to control the Americas.

However, the training of naval officers in Beihai Kingdom is at the Captain's School and is trained together with ordinary captains. Schwartz believes that this is not very good because the qualities of the Captain's School are uneven. Some captains lack the courage to fight and are not suitable to be naval officers.

So, he came to Marin this time to suggest that Marin adds naval subjects in West Point Military Academy. At the same time, from the captain's school, select students with fighting courage and enter the Royal West Point Military Academy for further training. As for the captain's school, the naval combat program will be appropriately reduced. Especially the artillery battle practice, Schwartz felt that it was a waste. For those captains who lacked courage, being a merchant ship captain is enough, and there is no need to receive too much naval combat training, especially live-fire naval combat training. After all, the cost of firing is very high, and there is no need to waste it on those captains who are not naval officers. You should know that after a round of gunfire, it is dozens or hundreds of pounds of gunpowder, which is very expensive.

After listening to Schwartz's report, Marin also felt that it made sense. After all, not every captain is brave and warlike. For ordinary captains, it is indeed a waste to conduct live-fire training in naval combat. Just equip the armed merchant ship with a few gunners eliminated from the Naval Artillery Department. Moreover, armed merchant ships only need to be equipped with small-caliber artillery. For example, 12-pound Napoleon cannon is enough, and there is no need to equip the merchant ship with large-caliber artillery, unless it is a military ship. You must know that now

The main artillery of the Portuguese warship is also a 12-pound cannon. It is enough to equip ordinary merchant ships with a few 12-pound cannons. As for the naval command of ordinary captains and students, Marin thinks it still needs it. After all, merchant ships may encounter pirates. However, live-fire exercises are not needed. At that time, just simulate the scene, but do not conduct live-fire drills. Even if it is done, it is enough to fire two guns symbolically. Only naval captains need to conduct further practical drills.

When signing, when he saw the words "Royal" on the document "Royal West Point" and Marin suddenly felt aroused his heart and said to Schwartz:

"Schwartz, how about you say I will adapt the North Sea fleet into the Royal Navy?"

At this time, Marin remembered the famous British "Royal Navy" in later generations, which was the maritime overlord who once dominated the ocean for two hundred years. Since the title of "Royal" has been applied, why not copy it more thoroughly, and even the name of "Royal Navy" was copied?

You should know that the genuine "Royal Navy" will not be established until Charles II ascended the throne in 1660. In other words, Marin now establishes a "Royal Navy" and becomes the genuine "Royal Navy".

Moreover, Marin will also control England in the future. At worst, we can share the name of "Royal Navy" with England. Anyway, Marin plans to recruit a lot of sailors in England in the future, and the "Royal Navy" does not lack English elements...

In fact, this is also a kind of helplessness. Who made most of the Germans be landslides? The only German ethnic group, the Friesians, had too few people, only about 100,000 people. The fishermen and sailors combined have only tens of thousands, which is not enough for Marin.
