Chapter 184: Dead
On the island of Grenada, after two years of development, the sugarcane planting area on the island has expanded to as much as 10,000 mu. If it were not for lack of manpower and insufficient nitrogen fertilizer for manure, it would be no problem to plant 50,000 mu.
As for others, such as ginger, it can already be grown in large quantities. And rice, because Marin likes to eat fried rice, naturally planted thousands of acres. Although cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg are planted, it takes five or six years to grow spice, and it can't be expected in a short time. As for the pepper with a growth period of two years, although it has been produced, Marin does not want to sell it to Europe.
Because if Marin took back the most popular spice pepper in Europe and sold it, it would shock Spain. Spain no longer focuses on the Americas. If Marin suddenly started selling peppers produced in the Americas, it would renew Spain's interest in the Americas.
Therefore, Malinen would not make money, nor would he be happy to bring back the peppers from Grenada to Europe. Of course, it is okay to bring a little back to supply the official needs, but it is necessary to hide from the Spaniards.
Right now, when the new pope takes office, Spain and Portugal are in a fierce dispute over the Treaty of Todes Silas. In the face of the huge profits of the Indian pepper trade, Spain may voluntarily give up the Americas in exchange for the legal right to remove Indian trade. In this case, Marin did not even take out the ginger, just waiting for Spain to voluntarily ask to give up the Americas in exchange for India's trading rights. At that time, I would be an American "panker" ...
As for cane sugar, Marin will not have any scruples. Because sugar cane can be grown in North Africa, it is not rare. Of course, that is relative to Spain and Portugal, which have an impact on North Africa.
At present, the price of a pound of spices in the European market is about 10 shillings. For a pound of sucrose, the price is only 1 shilling. If the spice plantation is tens of times more profitable, the sugarcane plantation has only a few times the profit, and it is not too eye-catching.
Of course, neither Spain nor Portugal knows that Marin has advanced fertilizer technology, and the sugarcane yield per mu can reach 1 ton. This is because the current yield per mu of sugarcane varieties is low. If it is replaced with a later-yielding variety, the production capacity per mu can reach several tons.
At this time, the yield of sugarcane fields in Spain in the Canary Islands and Portugal in the Madeira Islands was only a few hundred pounds. According to the sugar output of 10 to 15, the sugar production per mu is only dozens of pounds. Marin ’s sugarcane field in Grenada produces one ton per mu, that is, 2,000 kg, and the amount of sugar produced is as high as two or three hundred kg, which is several times that of sugarcane plantations in Spain and Portugal ...
Because of limited production, the sugar produced in Spain and Portugal can satisfy Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, not to mention sold in Germany, England and the Baltic region. It is said that in the Baltic region, the price of sucrose has reached the high price of 10 shillings per pound, which is ten times that of southern Europe ...
Originally, the old George of Grenada was very happy to see the sugarcane field want a good harvest. However, when he was happy, the cannibal Caribbean tribe came to Grenada in a canoe.
The sudden arrival of the enemy led to one immigrant and three bukas olds, and because they had no time to run into the cement compound, they were directly caught by the soldiers of the Caribbean tribe. Then, in front of the immigrants and bukas people on the wall, these four people were grilled and eaten, grilled and eaten, grilled and eaten ...
Old George was furious. He organized all the 300 militia of the first 400 immigrants who came to Grenada. He was fully armed and left the cement compound to take the initiative to fight the Caribbean.
Although there are thousands of Caribbeans, but the equipment level is too far apart, they are helpless when facing the militia holding wooden shields. However, once stabbed by the sword of the Grenada militia, he was either killed or injured.
After the First World War, of the thousands of Caribbean invaders, only more than 300 people fled to the canoe and left, and the others were either killed or injured.
After this battle, although the 300 militiamen wounded eight and died two, they built strong self-confidence. So, the old George "the old man talked about the youth crazy" and decided to attack and attack the Caribbean village.
In this era, the Caribbean villages were all thatched cottages by the water, and had no defense at all. As long as the militia forces attacked in the past, they will definitely win.
With the help of Captain Aben, the captain who commanded the ship to travel between Grenada and Europe, the old George finally found the old nest of the Caribbean tribe that invaded Grenada-Marin on St. Vincent Island, named after the map, save trouble.
According to Captain Abben ’s estimates, the island is about 100 kilometers away from Grenada, and is located in the north-east of Grenada. The Caribbean tribe is on the southwest coast of Saint Vincent. This is a large tribe with thousands of people, and it has long been king and king in the nearby waters. However, it was planted in front of the militia of Grenada last time.
After finding the enemy's lair, the old George was also unambiguous. He used a boat prepared on the island together with the bald Aben's boat, loaded with 290 militiamen who could fight, and sailed towards the hostile Caribbean tribe.
The arrival of the Grenada militias caused a huge panic in this Caribbean tribe. The remaining 300 fighters in the tribe took up their weapons and tried to fight hard to resist. However, this is useless ...
The bald-headed Benben towed two artillery pieces from his boat and began to bombard the wooden fence of the Caribbean tribe ...
Under the attack of the bald-headed arbon artillery, the Caribbean wooden fence was no stronger than paper. Then, this Caribbean tribe is finished ...
When the Caribbeans ran away because of the shelling, they had no hope of winning ...
Because of the invasion of this Caribbean tribe in the past two years, the militia soldiers are very resentful. They mercilessly killed all the men on the island. As for women ... Someone made a mistake ...
The two militiamen have been in Grenada for two years. Except for the local Bukas woman, they have never seen a woman. But the old George was very strict in management, forbidding immigrants to have relations with the Bukas women, otherwise they were punished as slaves. Therefore, in the past two years, the boys have been "abstinent" ...
Hundreds of young women were captured in this large tribe of thousands. Taking advantage of old George's inattention, the two goods took one of the most beautiful looking from the pile of captured women and went to the side of the woods ...
Then, after a while, these two goods were recruited-got syphilis ...
Syphilis in its birthplace-the Caribbean ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ can only be regarded as a very serious skin disease, but the locals have already produced some antibodies to this. Therefore, although seriously ill, it is not necessarily fatal.
However, for Europeans who have never had syphilis, syphilis is no less than a flood beast. The two "stealing chicken" **** paid the price of their lives for their evil thoughts ...
When they died, they had been quarantined by George for many days. The wailing of the two spread throughout the cement compound ...
When bald arbon was transporting sucrose back to East Friesland, he told this to Marin as a strange thing ...
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Marin clapped the table excitedly and shouted:
"Good death, too late!"
