In fact, on the island of Grenada, spices such as pepper, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon are cultivated in addition to nutmeg. However, Marin knew that these spices were easy to introduce and would definitely be reduced in price in the future. For example, pepper, a large road goods, has increased with the large increase in shipments, and there are signs of price reduction.

Only nutmeg, a unique spice that has a secret cultivation, can maintain a high price if the introduction is ineffective until the secret is cracked.

Of course, these spices were not wasted, but were supplied to the mainland of the North Sea Country and the colonies of the Americas. Although the amount is not large, it can be regarded as enriching the people's living needs. Moreover, these gadgets are now of high value, and can be used as a hidden means of state taxation, just like tobacco in later generations.

Just like the later republics, the Sugar, Tobacco and Liquor Company and the Salt Company, which were two monopoly industries. Of course, the salt was later released. And this monopoly system is an important means for the state to obtain tax revenue.

In the 16th century, sugar was not monopolized because of its low production, and tobacco had not yet become popular. As for liquor, it seems that there is no monopoly system in Europe. This is so because Europeans are accustomed to making wine from grapes, without involving grain, and there is no reason for restrictions.

Of course, because the Europeans did not understand the benefits of the monopoly system, they were in financial difficulties and could not afford to support a large army.

And ancient China knew about the monopoly of salt and iron very early. During the Song Dynasty, they also learned about the monopoly of tea and wine. Therefore, the financial revenue of the Song Dynasty has always been very high, and the salaries of officials are also high. When the Southern Song Dynasty fell, because they were grateful that the imperial court was too good to them, there were 100,000 soldiers and civilians who were willing to end up with the Song Dynasty.

And Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, a big man who didn't understand the economy, actually used what "open the Chinese method" to abolish the salt monopoly, and also raised a white-eyed wolf like Jin Shang. In fact, the sugar industry arose in the Ming Dynasty and became a pillar industry in Guangzhou. But the Ming Dynasty did not see the benefits and did not take over the monopoly of the imperial court. Although it was convenient for the people, the price of sugar was only ten or twenty wen a catty, but it made the poor Ming court have no income.

Marin would not make such a low-level mistake, and the monopoly of sugar, tobacco and alcohol was a must. For this reason, Marin has already planned to establish a sugar, tobacco and liquor company in Beihai City. As for salt, Beihai has long implemented an official sales system. Today, the shops selling salt have been opened in various towns and villages in Beihai Kingdom. The monopoly of sugar, tobacco and liquor, because it is not yet large-scale, is temporarily handed over to the salt shop for sale.

Moreover, the cigarettes in the sugar, tobacco and alcohol have not settled for the time being. Mainly, tobacco is too labor-intensive. A few rounds of tobacco can be planted, and good land can become bad land.

Marin is reluctant to grow tobacco in North America, and is currently wondering whether to grow tobacco in Brazil......

At present, Marin is in the Americas, and only local tobacco varieties are grown in Cuba, which is later known as Cuban cigars. Elsewhere, Marin was undecided. Because, ordinary land, after a few rounds of tobacco, can be grown and wasted.

However, the good thing is that it is not impossible to recover the ground. For example, planting a few seasons of crops such as soybeans and alfalfa to restore the soil can also slowly bring the land back.

Marin suddenly remembered that the island of Haiti, the birthplace of global syphilis, was currently unmanaged after Spain announced its abandonment.

The island of Haiti is not small, with more than 70,000 square kilometers. Moreover, the Spaniards have established several cities in the region. It is said that the island's indigenous population is as high as 1 million, more than the Indians of the North American jungle.

What Europeans fear is that syphilis is rampant on this island, which is the birthplace of syphilis......

When Marin revealed the source of syphilis, the Spaniards abandoned the island in fear of contracting syphilis again.

In fact, as long as the colonists are controlled and do not have any relationship with local women, they will not be infected with syphilis. Moreover, not every islander of Haiti has syphilis.

But the Spaniards knew their own affairs, and the early colonists were a group of villain adventurers. Their lives are inseparable from wine and women. Therefore, the Spaniards did not dare to guarantee that the colonial army would be able to control themselves. So, they had no choice but to abandon the island of Haiti, where a lot of infrastructure had been built.

Of course, it is not without merit for the Spaniards to do so. The decisive abandonment of the island of Haiti also cut off the resurgence of syphilis in Europe.

The army of the Beihai Kingdom was different from the Spanish army, which was still an old-fashioned feudal army, and the soldiers were bandits, with poor discipline and difficult management. And the Beihai Army, because of Marin's insistence, only selects from honest farmers, so there is no such.

As long as the management is in place, these soldiers of the North Sea Kingdom will still not mess around. Of course, Marin would pick those soldiers who had been married and take their wives to be stationed on the island of Haiti, which would also prevent them from going out and messing around to a certain extent.

It's just that the source of syphilis on the island is indeed quite terrible. Therefore, although Marin plans to engage in tobacco cultivation on the island of Haiti, syphilis must also be eliminated.

Therefore, Marin plans to isolate and inspect the islanders after sending troops to occupy the island of Haiti. All patients diagnosed with syphilis were quarantined and exiled to a desert island to fend for themselves.

In this way, after a few years of quarantine, syphilis can be banned. But the inspection during quarantine is a big problem, and if you let ordinary soldiers go and check on indigenous women, it is easy to get into trouble. After all, they are all young men, and after taking off the pants of the indigenous women, they can't hold it, and it's easy to get off the gun. If you get syphilis again, it's bad.

Therefore, when the local aborigines are quarantined and examined, it is okay to check men, but it is easy to have accidents when examining women......

Then, Marin thought of Grandpa Mao......

Mao's father-in-law is a hairy man who has been castrated by the Crimeans, and after these people are castrated, they have no function. Even if they were to go and have their bodies checked by women on the island of Haiti, nothing would happen.

So, Marin placed an order for the Crimea - to order 5000 strong Mao father-in-law for the management of the island of Haiti. In particular, the management of syphilis ......

As long as the source of syphilis is eliminated, Haiti will still be a treasure island that can be developed. It is relatively close to the island of Cuba and has convenient transportation. Moreover, there is the foundation laid by the Spaniards here.

When the time comes, all you need to do is send troops and horses to the fortress that the Spaniards had built. All it takes is a simple repair, a little cement to the decaying castle, and the rule and occupation of the local area can be restored.

Then, the purchased father-in-law Mao was used to isolate and inspect the local men and women, and all syphilis carriers were exiled. In this way, the local area is no longer a dangerous place.

After large-scale tobacco cultivation was carried out on the island of Haiti, the sale of tobacco could also become an important source of income for Marin. After all, cigarettes have proved their super high economic value in later generations!

Currently, there are nearly a million Tylenol people on the island of Haiti, which is an excellent source of labor. As long as it is proved that they no longer carry syphilis after the quarantine examination, it can also help tobacco cultivation......
