The Rise of the European Emperor
Chapter 1213 Tobacco
Thinking that in the future he will immigrate a large number of black buddies from South Africa to Japan and "dye black" Japan, Marin can't help but want to laugh. In the future, Japan will probably become a sports powerhouse. After all, although the old black people don't like to use their brains, their bodies are really good. What sprints and marathons are especially old black masters. The NBA is also, all of them are American old blacks with muscles... However, this is also good, at least, these old blacks can raise the average height of the Japanese. Thinking of the old black people running all over the streets of Japan in the future, Marin was very excited. A blackened Japan, will it rise into a technological power in the future? After all, black guys don't like to use their brains...
But Marin was destined to never see that day, not even his son Caesar. Because, it takes hundreds of years of continuous influence to do it.
Marin has drawn up a preliminary plan - a large-scale immigration of South African Lao Hei to Japan. First stationed at Iwami Ginzan. Then, spread to other places. If you control the Emperor Tianyi in Kyoto, you will find a way to force the Emperor Tianyi to marry a black girl, and dye the emperor's generation black... When the Emperor Tianyi turns black in the future, he should not be able to get out of Meiji Tianyi. A reformist like the emperor? After all, black guys don't like to use their brains...
Then, Marin introduced football and basketball to Japan, allowing the blackened Japanese to vigorously engage in sports. Even if they win the World Cup every year, it's useless, as long as they don't engage in technology, they will still be slaughtered...
...
After a few days of trimming in Panama. Marin left the port of Cologne. After all, Panama is not a great place. There are many poisonous mosquitoes and insects here. If you are not careful, you will get malaria or something. Of course, Marin is not afraid of malaria, because he has artemisinin. However, if he got yellow fever and other tropical diseases, he would be blinded. Therefore, it is reasonable to leave immediately.
Marin raised a total of 4 class 250 armed merchant ships, formed a new ship formation, left the port of Colon, Panama, and sailed northward, showing that they arrived at a port in the future Cancun area of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, and even landed traded with the locals.
In Cancun, the saber carried by Marin was valued by the wealthy merchants of the Aztec Empire. In order to get the steel knife that Marin wore with him, the Aztec merchant directly took out an equal amount of gold. To buy from Marlin.
Marin's saliva is drooling at a glance - what a dreadful...
But he did not sell his own knife. After all, his knife was a real treasure. Although it was inconspicuous, it was a treasure made by a famous craftsman from Wuzi Steel. Even if the other party takes the same weight of gold as a premium, the treasure knife itself is also very rare.
Therefore, Marin asked to bring a batch of replacement steel knives for the guards from the ship, and traded with the noble merchants of the Aztec Empire. As a result, 20 imitation 65-style sabers were exchanged for 40 kilograms of golden sand, which broke the Marlin music - this is equivalent to 11,200 gold coins...
But the rich merchants of the Aztec Empire did not suffer, why? Because the Aztec Empire also lacked metal. You must know that the Aztec Empire did not have iron tools, and the soldiers used weapons made of obsidian, that is, stone tools. The steel knives that Marin sold him, although they were used as replacements for the guards, were all high-quality steel knives, which were considered excellent quality in this world. In the Aztec Empire, which lacked metal weapons, this is definitely a treasure that cannot be exchanged for money.
Marin didn't know that the Aztec merchant took these 20 steel knives to Mexico City and dedicated them to the Aztec Emperor Montezuma II, and then he actually switched to a city lord Dangdang...
Of course, later this guy's city was also conquered by Marin's colonial army. However, he first gave the 20 steel knives to Montezuma II,
Later, it caused some trouble for Marin's colonial army - some colonial army soldiers died under those steel knives...
...
In addition to this transaction, Marin also saw many commodities in the Cancun market, such as gold and silver, precious stones, feathers, cotton cloth, slaves, poultry, fruit, cooked food, wood, tobacco and so on.
Among them, the quality of cotton is poor. After all, the textile technology of the Aztec Empire is still relatively primitive, and the spun cotton is naturally average. And Marin brought back several cotton weaving machines that were said to be handed down by Huang Daopo from Songjiang Prefecture in Daming. The woven cloth is much better than the local home cloth. But the quality of Mexican upland cotton is better than that of Daming's Asian cotton, and the lint is longer, which is more suitable for spinning.
After seeing the tobacco leaves that can be seen everywhere in the market, Marin was a little greedy. So, he bought a large pack of tobacco, then, found paper, made a simple cigarette by himself, and smoked it happily...
The sailors looked greedy, but Marin didn't give them. It's not that Marin is stingy, but that smoking really can't be popular in the water. Because smoke has fire, and the ships of this era are made of wood. Smoking on a wooden boat is dangerous. If the sailors got drunk and smoked, they might have set the boat on fire. So Marin was determined not to smoke the sailors, lest they develop this habit.
In the past life, Marin had seen with his own eyes that Father Ma smoked and burned his clothes when he was drunk. Therefore, he dared not let the sailors suffer from smoking. Sailors love to drink alcohol and mix it with tobacco. That is the rhythm of burning wooden boats in minutes...
Therefore, after Marin smoked a cigarette, he established the rule of "no smoking area on board". Then, he got off the boat and squatted on the beach to smoke the second cigarette. After all, he had to lead by example...
...
To be honest, Marin didn't actually like smoking in his last life. However, there are too many people who smoke in society. When you come out to mix, you always have to follow everyone to smoke one or two. Therefore, he also smokes, but he is not addicted. After all, he is not blind, and the words "smoking is harmful to health" are written on the cigarette case.
However, one thing Marlin has to admit is that there are many men who love to smoke in the world...
In a previous life, Marin read a report saying that there are 350 million smokers in China, more than the population of the United States. As for the world, there are more than one billion smokers...
Marin doesn't like tobacco, but he also knows that China's annual tobacco tax exceeds one trillion yuan, which is very scary. Therefore, although he does not like tobacco that is harmful to health, he will not have trouble with money.
For example, in Huaxia in later generations, because the tobacco tax has reached trillions, the country knows that smoking is harmful to health, but still allows its citizens to smoke. After all, that's trillions of dollars in taxes...
Moreover, it is said that when tobacco came out, it quickly swept Europe. After it was introduced into China, the old men in the countryside liked to smoke dry tobacco...
Therefore, there is no need to worry about selling tobacco. Although it is harmful, it can be very profitable...
After much thought, Marin decided to promote tobacco. Not for anything else, but for financial revenue. Moreover, Marin believes that even if he does not promote it, when tobacco spreads to Europe, it will still become popular. So, let him promote it. At the same time, it also controls tobacco supply channels. Like the tobacco companies of later generations, what an awesome unit...
to this end. Marin returned to the Cancun fair and bought a lot of tobacco seeds. Then, boarded the boat and left Cancun for Havana, Cuba.
After arriving in Havana. Marin threw two bags of seeds to Tara and ordered:
"This is a tea seed, this is a tobacco seed. The tea seed is planted on the hillside of Chaoyang, and the tobacco seed is planted on the level ground, and the drainage is good..."
Tara was stunned for a moment, then looked at the tobacco leaves that Marin brought back and said:
"Master. There is tobacco in Cuba, so why use Mexican tobacco?"
Malin slapped his head, and he almost forgot that Cuban cigars in later generations were world-renowned cigarettes, and they were exclusively used by big bosses. So, he brought Mexican tobacco seeds, which is really a trick. So, he collected the tobacco seeds and planned to take them to North America to grow them. As for Cuban local tobacco, Marin instructed Talado to collect local tobacco seeds and conduct professional cultivation and cultivation to provide high-quality tobacco leaves...
"Trillion cigarette tax, here I come!" Marin is optimistic about the prospect of tobacco...
