Chapter 1651 Widely Planted Betel Nut

"Oral cancer, oral cancer, oral cancer, oral cancer, oral cancer......" the word kept flashing through Marin's mind.

However, suddenly Ma Lin remembered a historical anecdote - it is said that Qianlong also liked to chew betel nuts. However, the Great Chief lived to be 89 years old! It can be seen that chewing betel nut does not necessarily mean death.

Moreover, in later generations, Hu Jian, and many Hakka people in Taiwan liked to chew betel nuts, and they didn't see a large piece of death.

It seems that those who get oral cancer are the reason why they keep chewing betel nut in their mouths all day long and eating too much. If the amount is well controlled, there will not be much of a problem.

For example, the chief of Qianlong, although he likes to chew betel nut, but when he goes to court and deals with official business, he must not chew betel nut in his mouth, and he must only chew a little in his spare time. Otherwise, it is tantamount to rudeness. And those who chew betel nut anytime and anywhere are the way to death.

Therefore, if the amount is controlled well and excessive consumption is strictly prohibited, the harm can still be avoided. Moreover, it is said that chewing betel nut can also help children fight worms, such as parasites such as roundworms in the stomach, and it also has certain benefits for children's health.

After much thought, Marin finally agreed to Conté's suggestion to fully promote the cultivation of betel nut in the tropical rainforest colonies of the North Sea State, and to promote betel nut chewing. Of course, it will also tell the people that if you eat too much of this thing, you will die. In this way, there is no fear that the common people will eat too much. After all, normal people are life-sparing.

In addition, Marin will also enforce the order - after chewing betel nut, you must rinse your mouth. In this way, the chance of oral cancer can also be greatly reduced.

In any case, the two major effects of Ben Lang just to prevent miasma and treat parasites are enough for Marlin to promote. After all, in tropical rainforest areas, the prevention and treatment of oral cancer or something is secondary, and surviving is the first priority. If you can't even survive the miasma, how can you talk about oral cancer?

Moreover, Marin did not believe much in the online news of later generations. Since the rise of online news, there are almost few online editors who have discipline. They like to seriously amplify some issues in order to achieve the purpose of attracting attention. What UC Shock Ministry, Rainy Night Granny or something......

For example, betel lang can cause oral cancer, but it is not necessary to eat betel nut to get oral cancer. And those who get cancer, after all, are in the minority. Otherwise, the ancients would not have been stupid and would have stopped eating this poisonous thing a long time ago.

As for what is the first level of carcinogenicity, the nicotine of cigarettes is more toxic than this, and there are still so many smokers? Similarly, pickles have nitrites, which are also carcinogenic, and people die after eating pickles. Moreover, it has been reported that betel nut causes cancer only 1 in 100,000, which is lower than the chance of lung cancer from smoking.

Therefore, the editor who has no discipline is exaggerating the harm too much. As long as the amount is controlled, and then pay attention to rinsing the mouth afterwards, the harm can be controlled within a controllable range.

Of course, in order to reduce the harm, Marin intends to improve the way betel nut is eaten. For example, if you make soup and other foods, you can eat them directly into your stomach and not stay in your mouth for a long time, which can also prevent you from getting cancer in your mouth. It seems that in later generations, there were medicinal diets containing betel nut, which were good for the human body......

In addition, it seems that in later generations, it was not only popular to eat betel nut in Lingnan, but also in Southeast Asia. It is precisely because of betel nut that Southeast Asia has such a dense population without any major problems.

……

After figuring it all out, Marin made up his mind to promote betel nut. This kind of thing that is good for immigrants in the tropics must be vigorously promoted.

In fact, because of the fear of the miasma in the tropics, Marin can only use black slaves as the main force for tropical development. But Marin knew that it was easy to please God, but it was difficult to send God. When these places are developed, and then you want to send the blacks back, it will not work. There will be no problem in the past two or three hundred years, but when civil rights rise later, these blacks will become uncles who can't be sent away.

For example, if the old black in the United States in the future is really afraid of being discriminated against, he will move back to Africa! But they will never agree. After all, when you go back to Africa, you can't eat enough. Only by relying in the United States and receiving relief can he eat and drink enough, and he can go to the bar to make an appointment if he has nothing to do. There are so many tall and strong blacks in the NBA, which is unimaginable in Africa.

Marin has watched the World Cup, the African national team has played, and they are all thin old black, not tall, and few are tall and strong. And many of the physically strong black West African stars such as Didier Drogba grew up in France.

Marin doesn't feel how lowly blacks are, but he is very troubled by their tradition of "being able to do it with a hand and never using a brain". From the emancipation of black slaves in the 19th century to the 21st century, almost two hundred years, but black people are still the same virtue, and they can only mix in the sports world. So, Marin didn't have the confidence to teach black people well. In order to avoid too many blacks in the future, he had to set up a sterilization center in Grenada to sterilize all blacks entering Africa.

But it is not an option to keep doing this, after all, if you don't have to occupy the tropics with your own people, you still have to rely on blacks after all.

Therefore, Kong Tai's suggestion to eat betel nut can be said to have come at the right time. With betel nut, which is designed to combat miasma and parasites, and artemisinin, which specializes in treating malaria, Marin can confidently send native immigrants to Cuba and Panama.

And when local immigrants take root and reproduce on a large scale in Cuba and other places, Marin will no longer need to introduce Lao Hei. Of course, as far as getting up early, there must still be a large number of black uncles to help reclaim the wasteland. Marin won't treat them badly, he eats and drinks well, but he just won't let them give birth to a little black......

In fact, for the development of the tropics, Marin prefers the Chinese in Southeast Asia. The Chinese in Southeast Asia are hardworking and good at farming. However, it is very well managed and has no ambitions. You must know that the Chinese in Southeast Asia have lived in Southeast Asia for thousands of years, but they have only established one Lanfang country. It can be seen that they are a group of obedient people with no political ambitions.

Industrious, hardworking, obedient and unambitious, and adapted to the tropical rainforest climate, no matter how you look at it, it is the best choice for developing tropical areas.

But now that we have betel nut, we don't have to go to Southeast Asia to recruit Chinese to come to Cuba and Panama. Because, the native population can also immigrate to Cuba and Panama.

Moreover, in these years, the number of Chinese in Southeast Asia is not very large. After all, before the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the boom of "going to the South Seas" in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, although there were many Chinese in Southeast Asia, they were relatively scattered and difficult to find. If you have the time to look for people everywhere, it is better to immigrate from the mainland.

However, the biggest problem in Beihai now is that the population is too small. In the later years, the climate of the East Coast of the United States was very good, and Marin was seriously underdeveloped by the population, let alone the tropical regions with harsh climates such as Cuba and Panama.

But Cuba and Panama are so important, Cuba is responsible for the production of sugar, rubber, sisal and tropical fruits, which are urgently needed in Europe, and is a very important production area of tropical cash crops, and also grows spices such as tea and pepper, which can be described as a great role in the future.

Panama, on the other hand, is a major transportation route, responsible for communicating Chile and Peru, as well as the Ming Dynasty. Although I don't expect anything to be produced here, the importance of the geographical location alone makes it worth it for Marin to settle a large number of his own people here.

However, because the environment in Panama is too harsh, Marin has only arranged more than 1,000 sturdy young soldiers here, plus a large number of black slaves, but he does not dare to settle the old and weak women and children. Because, those old and weak women and children can hardly survive the threat of miasma. Now, with betel nut, Marin dared to immigrate.

To this end, Marin ordered that in the future, in a wide area on both sides of the cement road in Panama, other tree species should be cut down and betel nut planted widely to ensure the needs of immigrants in the tropical Americas. Before the local betel nut cultivation was successful, it could only import dried betel nut goods from the Ming Dynasty......
