The Rise of the European Emperor

On Grenada Island, after two years of development, the sugarcane planting area on the island has expanded to as much as 10,000 mu. If it weren't for the lack of manpower and the lack of manure nitrogen fertilizer, there would be no problem with planting 50,000 mu.

As for others, such as ginger, they can already be grown in large quantities. And rice, because Marin likes to eat fried rice, naturally also planted thousands of acres. Although cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg have been planted, it takes five or six years of growth to produce spices, and it is impossible to count on them in a short time. As for the two-year-old pepper, although it has been produced, Marin does not want to take it to Europe to sell.

Because if Marin took back the most popular spice pepper in Europe, it would alarm Spain. Spain has now turned its attention to the Americas. If Marin suddenly started selling peppers from the Americas, there would be renewed interest in Spain.

So Marlin would rather not make money than bring Grenada-grown peppers back to Europe for sale. Of course, it's okay to take a little back for official needs, but keep it secret from the Spaniards.

Now, with a new pope in office, Spain and Portugal are in a heated dispute over the Treaty of Tordesillas. In the face of the huge profits from India's pepper trade, Spain may voluntarily give up the Americas in exchange for the legal right to trade with India. Under such circumstances, Marin didn't even take out ginger, and was waiting for Spain to take the initiative to request to give up the Americas in exchange for India's trade rights. At that time, I would like to be a "catcher" in the Americas...

As for sucrose, Marin would not have any scruples. Because sugarcane can be grown in North Africa, it is not uncommon. Of course, that's relative to Spain and Portugal, which have influence on the North African region.

At present, the price of a pound of spice in the European market is about 10 shillings. A pound of cane sugar costs only 1 shilling. If it is said that planting spices has dozens of times of huge profits, planting sugar cane is only a few times more profitable, and it will not make people too jealous.

Of course, neither Spain nor Portugal knew that Marin had advanced fertilizer technology, and the yield per mu of sugarcane could reach 1 ton. This is also because of the low yield per mu of sugarcane varieties at present. If it is replaced with high-yield varieties in later generations, the production capacity per mu will reach several tons.

At this time, the yield per mu of sugarcane fields of Spain in the Canary Islands and Portugal in Madeira was only about a few hundred pounds. According to the sugar output of 10 to 15, the output of sugar per mu is only a few dozen pounds.

And Marin's sugarcane field in Grenada yields one ton per mu, which is 2,000 catties, and the sugar output is as high as two or three hundred catties, which is several times that of the Spanish and Portuguese sugarcane plantations...

Because of the limited production, the cane sugar produced in Spain and Portugal is good enough to satisfy Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, not to mention Germany, England and the Baltics. It is said that in the Baltic region, the price of cane sugar has also reached a sky-high 10 shillings per pound, ten times that of southern Europe...

Originally, the Governor of Grenada, George Sr., was very happy to see that the sugarcane fields were about to have a bumper harvest. However, just when he was happy, the cannibal Caribbean tribe came to attack Grenada in a canoe again.

Because of the sudden arrival of the enemy, one immigrant and three old and weak Bukas were caught by the soldiers of the Caribbean tribe because they did not have time to run into the concrete compound. Then, in front of the immigrants and the Bukas on the wall, the four invaded Caribs ate it directly, ate it, ate it, ate it...

Old George was furious. He organized and armed all the 300 militiamen out of the first 400 immigrants who came to Grenada. They left the concrete compound and took the initiative to fight the Caribs.

Although there are thousands of people in the Caribbean, the level of equipment is too far behind. Facing the militiamen holding wooden shields, they are a little helpless. However, once stabbed by the sword of the Grenada militia, he was either killed or wounded.

After a war, thousands of Caribbean invaders, only more than 300 people fled to the canoes and left, and the others were either killed or injured.

After this war, although 300 militiamen were wounded 8 and died 2, but they established a strong self-confidence. As a result, the old George, "the old man was talking about the teenage madness", decided to go out and attack the village of the Caribbean people.

In this day and age, Caribbean villages were all thatched huts by the water, with little defense at all. As long as the militia forces attack the past, there is no doubt that they will win.

With the help of Captain Bald Aben, who commanded the ships to and fro between Grenada and Europe, Old George finally found the home of the Caribbean tribes that invaded Grenada-Saint Vincent Marin "named", save trouble.

According to Captain Aben’s estimate, the island is about 100 kilometers away from Grenada, in the north-easterly position of Grenada. And that Caribbean tribe is on the southwest coast of St. Vincent. This is a large tribe of several thousand people, who has dominated the nearby waters for a long time. It's just that the last time I was planted in front of the militia in Grenada.

After finding the enemy's lair, Old George was also unequivocal. He used a boat prepared on the island together with the bald Aben's boat, loaded with 290 militiamen who could still fight, and sailed to the hostile Caribbean tribe.

The arrival of the Grenada militia caused a huge panic in this Caribbean tribe. The remaining 300 soldiers in the tribe took up arms one after another and planned to resist desperately. However, this is of no use...

The bald-headed Abenming subordinates dragged down two artillery pieces from his boat and started bombarding the wooden fence of the Caribbean tribe...

Under the attack of the bald-headed Aben's artillery, the wooden fences of the Caribs were no stronger than those of paper. And then, this Caribbean tribe is over...

When the Caribs turned around and 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 fighters 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 hardly seen any women. But the old George was very strict and prohibited immigrants from having relations with Bukas women, otherwise they would be punished as slaves. Therefore, for the past two years, the boys have lived a very "abstinence"...

In this large tribe of several thousand people, several hundred young women were captured. While old George was not paying attention, the two took the most beautiful looking one from the captured women and went to the woods on the side...

Then, after a while, the two fell in love - got syphilis...

Syphilis can only be regarded as a very serious skin disease in the Caribbean Sea, where it originated, but the locals have already developed certain antibodies to it. Therefore, although it is considered serious illness, it is not necessarily fatal.

But for Europeans who had never had syphilis, it was no less than a scourge. Two bastards who "steal chickens" paid the price with their lives for their evil thoughts...

When they died, they had been quarantined by old George for many days. The mourning of the two spread throughout the cement compound...

When the bald Aben was transporting cane sugar back to East Friesland, he told Marin about this as a rare thing...

Unexpectedly, when Marin heard about this time, he patted the table excitedly and shouted:

"Good death, too timely!"
