"Oral cancer, oral cancer, oral cancer, oral cancer..." This word flashed through Marin's mind.
However, suddenly, Marin remembered a historical anecdote - it is said that Qianlong also liked to chew betel nut. However, this 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 from Guangdong and Guangxi, and many Hakka people in Taiwan liked to chew betel nuts, but they didn't die.
It seems that those who have oral cancer are all the reasons why they keep chewing betel nut in their mouths all day long and eat too much. If the amount is controlled well, there will not be too big problems.
For example, although the chief of Qianlong liked to chew betel nut, he must not listen to chewing betel nut in his mouth when he went to court and handled official duties. He must only chew a little in his spare time. Otherwise, it would be rude. Those who chew betel nut anytime and anywhere are the ways to die.
Therefore, if the amount is controlled and excessive consumption is strictly prohibited, it can still avoid harm. Moreover, it is said that chewing betel nut can also help children get worms, such as parasites such as roundworms in their stomachs, which also have certain benefits for children's health.
After thinking about it, Malin finally agreed to Kong Tai's suggestion, intending to comprehensively promote the cultivation of betel nuts in the tropical rainforest colony of Beihai Kingdom and promote the chewing of betel nuts. Of course, he would also tell the people that eating too much will kill people. In this way, he would not be afraid of the common people eating too much. After all, normal people cherish their lives.
In addition, Marin will also force the order - after chewing betel nut, he must rinse his mouth. This will greatly reduce the chance of oral cancer.
In any case, the two major effects of Penang being able to prevent miasma and treat parasites are enough to promote Marin. After all, in tropical rainforest areas, prevention and treatment of oral cancer is secondary, and survival is the primary thing. If you can’t even survive miasma, how can you talk about oral cancer?
Moreover, Marin doesn’t believe in online news in later generations. Since the rise of online news, there have been almost few online editors who are morally honest. They like to seriously expand some problems to achieve eye-catching purpose. What are the UC shocking department, the old lady in the rainy night, etc.
For example, Penang Lang can certainly cause oral cancer, but eating betel nut will not lead to oral cancer. After all, it is a minority for cancer. Otherwise, the ancients were not stupid and would have stopped eating this poisonous thing.
As for what first-level carcinogenic causes, cigarettes are more toxic than this one, so there are still so many smokers? Similarly, pickles have nitrites, which also cause cancer, and people die without eating pickles. Moreover, it is reported that the cancer rate of betel nut is only one in 100,000, which is lower than the chance of lung cancer caused by smoking.
Therefore, the editor who has no moral integrity has exaggerated the harm too much. As long as you control the amount and then pay attention to rinse your mouth afterwards, the harm can be controlled within a controllable range.
Of course, in order to reduce the harm, Marin plans to improve the way to eat betel nut. For example, making it into soup and other foods, eating it directly into the stomach and not staying in the mouth for a long time can also prevent oral cancer. It seems that there were medicinal foods containing betel nut in later generations, which are good for the human body...
In addition, it seems that not only are betel nut popular in Lingnan, China, but it seems that this is very popular in Southeast Asia. It is precisely because of betel nut that Southeast Asia has such a dense population and no major problems have occurred.
...
After thinking through all this, Marin made up his mind to promote betel nut. This kind of thing that is good for immigration to tropical areas must be promoted.
In fact, because he is afraid of miasma in tropical areas, Marin can only use black slaves as the main force in tropical development. But Marin knows that it is easy to ask gods to send gods to him. When these places are developed and they want to send black people back, it will not work. There is no problem in the past two or three hundred years. Later, when civil rights rise, these black people will become unsent-to-door masters.
For example, if the old man in the United States 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 on the United States and receiving relief can you eat enough, and you can go to the bar to have a date. There are so many tall and strong black people in the NBA, which is unimaginable in Africa.
Marin has watched the World Cup and African national teams played, and they are all thin and black, not tall and strong. Many strong West African black stars such as Drogba grew up in France.
Marin did not think that blacks were so lowly, but he was very troubled by their tradition of "no brains to do things". From the 19th century to the 21st century, it was almost two hundred years since the liberation of black slaves, but blacks were still the same morality and could only gang up in the sports world. Therefore, Marin did not have the confidence to teach blacks well. In order to avoid too many blacks in the future, he had to set up a ligation center in Grenada to ligate all blacks who entered Africa.
But it is not a solution to keep doing this. After all, if you don’t have to occupy the tropical areas, you will still have to rely on black people.
Therefore, the suggestion of Kong Tai to eat betel nut is just the right time. With betel nut that specializes in controlling miasma and parasites, plus artemisinin, which specializes in treating malaria, Marin can safely send local immigrants to Cuba and Panama.
When local immigrants take root on a large scale in Cuba and other places and reproduce offspring, Malin no longer needs to introduce Lao Hei. Of course, as far as getting up early, a large number of black uncles will definitely need to help reclaim land. Malin will not treat them badly, and they will be well-fed and well-drinked, but they will not give birth to Xiao Hei...
In fact, for the development of tropical regions, Marin prefers the Chinese in Southeast Asia. The Chinese in Southeast Asia are hardworking and good at farming. However, they are easy to manage and have no ambitions. You should know that the Chinese in Southeast Asia have lived in Southeast Asia for thousands of years, but have only established one Lanfang country. It can be seen that they are just a group of people who have no political ambitions.
Diligent, hardworking, obedient and unambitious, and adapting to the tropical rainforest climate, it is the best choice for developing tropical areas no matter how you look at it.
But now that with betel nut, you don’t have to go to Southeast Asia to recruit Chinese people to Cuba and Panama. Because local residents can also immigrate to Cuba and Panama.
Moreover, these days, there are not many Chinese in Southeast Asia. After all, before the demise of the Ming Dynasty and the "going to Southeast Asia" boom in the late Qing Dynasty, although there were many Chinese in Southeast Asia, they were relatively scattered and difficult to find. If you have the time to find people everywhere, it would be better to immigrate from your local area.
However, the biggest problem for the North Sea Kingdom is that it has too small populations. Just the places on the east coast of the United States with good climates in later generations, Marin has a serious lack of population to develop, let alone tropical areas with harsh climates such as Cuba and Panama.
But Cuba and Panama are so important. Cuba is responsible for producing sugar, rubber, sisal and tropical fruits that Europe is in short supply. It is a very important tropical economic crop area. It also grows spices such as tea and pepper, which will have a great effect in the future.
Panama is a major transportation route, responsible for communicating with Chile and Peru, and the Ming Dynasty. Although we do not expect anything to be produced here, the importance of geographical location alone is worthy of Marin's placement of a large number of his own people here.
However, because the environment in Panama is too harsh, Marin has only arranged more than a thousand strong young soldiers here, plus a large number of black slaves, but he dared not place the elderly, weak, women and children. Because it is difficult for the elderly, weak, women and children to survive the threat of miasma. Now, with betel nut, Marin dares to immigrate.
