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 acres. If it weren www.biquge.info not for the lack of manpower and manure (nitrogen fertilizer), it would be no problem to plant 50,000 acres.

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 are planted, it takes five or six years to produce spices, and it is impossible to count on them in a short period of time. As for peppercorn, which has a two-year growth cycle, although it has already been produced, Marlin does not want to sell it in Europe.

Because, if Marin took back the most popular spice pepper in Europe and sold it, it would alarm Spain. Spain is no longer focusing on the Americas. If Marin suddenly started selling pepper from the Americas, it would have revived Spain's interest in the Americas.

Therefore, Marin would rather not make money than bring pepper from the island of Grenada back to Europe for sale. Of course, it is possible to bring a little back to supply the official needs, but it is necessary to hide it from the Spaniards.

Now that a new pope has taken office, Spain and Portugal are at loggerheads over the Treaty of Tordesillas. In the face of the windfall profits of the Indian pepper trade, Spain may voluntarily give up the Americas in exchange for the legal right to trade with India. In this case, Marin didn't even sell ginger, just waiting for Spain to take the initiative to give up the Americas in exchange for India's right to trade. When the time comes, I might as well be a "pick-up man" in the Americas......

As for the cane sugar, Marin doesn't have any scruples. Because, sugarcane can be grown in North Africa, and it is not rare. Of course, that was relative to Spain and Portugal, which had an impact on the North African region.

At present, the price of a pound of spice in the European market is about 10 shillings. And a pound of cane sugar, the price is only 1 shilling. If the cultivation of spices has dozens of times the profit, the planting of sugarcane is only a few times the profit, and it is not too eye-catching.

Of course, neither Spain nor Portugal knew that Marin had mastered advanced fertilizer technology, and the yield of sugarcane per mu could reach 1 ton. This is also because of the low yield per mu of the current sugarcane varieties, if it is replaced by the high-yield varieties in the future, the production capacity per mu will reach several tons.

At this time, the yield of sugar cane fields in 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 sugar yield per mu is only a few dozen pounds. Marin's sugarcane field in Grenada yields one ton per mu, that is, 2,000 catties, and the sugar output is as high as two or three hundred catties, which is several times that of the sugarcane plantations in Spain and Portugal......

Because of the limited production, it would be nice to have enough sugar from Spain and Portugal to satisfy Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, let alone sell it to Germany, England and the Baltic region. It is said that in the Baltic region, the price of cane sugar also reached a sky-high price of 10 shillings per pound, ten times that of southern Europe......

Originally, seeing that the sugarcane fields were about to be harvested, the Governor of Grenada, George Sr., was very happy. However, just when he was happy, the cannibal tribes of the Caribbean came to attack Grenada in canoes.

Because the enemy came suddenly, 1 immigrant and 3 Bucas were old and weak, because they didn't have time to run into the cement compound, and were directly caught by the fighters of the Caribbean tribe. Then, these 4 people were roasted, roasted, and eaten directly by the invading Caribbeans in front of the immigrants and Bucas people on the wall......

George Sr. was furious, he organized all the 300 militiamen of the 400 immigrants who came to Grenada, fully armed, left the cement compound, and took the initiative to fight the Caribs.

Although there are thousands of Caribbeans, the level of equipment is too far behind, and they are a little helpless in the face of the militia with wooden shields. However, once stabbed by the sword of the Grenada militia, it was either dead or wounded.

After a big battle, thousands of Caribbean invaders, only more than 300 people fled to the canoe and left, the others, either dead or wounded.

After this battle, although 8 of the 300 militiamen were wounded and two were killed, they built up a strong self-confidence. So, the old George decided to attack the Caribbean village with "the old man talking about the boyish madness".

In those days, Caribbean villages were thatched huts by the water, with little defense. As long as the militia forces attack the past, there is no doubt that they will win.

With the help of Bald Ben, the captain who commanded the ships between Grenada and Europe, George Sr. finally found the island of St. Vincent ("named" by Marin) after the Caribbean tribes who had invaded Grenada.

According to Captain Ben's estimates, the island is about 100 kilometers from Grenada, in the north-east of the island of Grenada. And that Caribbean tribe is on the southwest coast of St. Vincent. This is a large tribe of several thousand people, and it has been king and supremacy in the nearby seas for a long time. It's just that last time it was planted in front of the militia on the island of Grenada.

After finding the enemy's lair, George Sr. was not unequivocal, he used a boat prepared on the island with the bald Arben'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, and the remaining 300 fighters in the tribe took up arms one after another, intending to resist desperately. However, it didn't work......

The bald man dragged two cannons down from his ship and began to bombard the wooden fence of the Carib tribe......

Under the fire of the artillery of the bald Arben, the wooden fence of the Caribbeans was no stronger than the papier-mâché. And then, this Caribbean tribe was finished......

When the Caribbeans turned around and ran away in fear 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 angry. They killed all the men on the island without mercy. As for women...... Someone made a mistake......

The two militiamen had been in Grenada for two years, and they had seen almost no woman except for the local Bucas woman. But old George was very strict, and it was forbidden for immigrants to have sex with Bucas women, otherwise they would be punished as slaves. Therefore, for these two years, the lads have lived a very "abstinent" life......

Hundreds of young women were captured in this large tribe of several thousand people. Taking advantage of old George's inattention, the two goods took the most beautiful looking one from the pile of captured women and went to the woods to the side......

Then, after some time, the two got the trick - they got syphilis......

Syphilis is a very serious skin disease in the Caribbean, where it originated, but the locals have developed certain antibodies to it. Therefore, although it is also considered a serious illness, it is not necessarily fatal.

However, for Europeans who have never had syphilis, syphilis is no less than a flood beast. Two bastards who "stole chickens" paid with their lives for their evil thoughts......

When they died, they had been isolated by George Sr. for many days. The wails of the two spread throughout the cement compound......

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

Unexpectedly, after Marin heard about this time, he slapped the table excitedly and shouted:

"Die well, die too timely!"
