Since he personally confirmed that the yield of rye per mu in Marin's manor under Marin's name could indeed reach 500 pounds of rye per mu, Prince Siegmont was completely shocked. He then calculated silently. According to the information revealed by Anne, Marin had 80,000 yer land in East Friesland, and 120,000 yer land was entrusted by him in Oldenburg and Schleswig's Principality. Each acre of land could allow Marin to obtain a profit of 250 pounds of rye per mu...
Prince Sigmont lay there for a long time, and finally found out that his second brother-in-law, even if he was counted as a net profit of 250 pounds of rye per acre, the annual rye income was 600 million pounds. But in fact, the 80,000 pounds of arable land in Marin, which is 2.4 million pounds of arable land in Marin, has a profit of more than 250 pounds per acre, at least 400 pounds per acre. Therefore, its net profit, calculated by rye, must be 744 million pounds.
According to the grain prices in Germany, 1 Finney per pound of rye is worth 744 million Finney. It is converted into gold coins, up to 12.4 million Gold coins...
Even if according to the low grain prices in Poland, Lviv, which had the lowest grain prices (formerly Polish city, captured by the Soviet Union to Ukraine after World War II, as compensation, Poland obtained most of the German West Prussia and Silesia region), it was worth 6.2 million gold coins per pound...
After calculating it clearly, Prince Sigmont was so scared that he couldn't stand firm. That night, he found Marin and asked Marin if he earned tens of millions of gold coins every year.
Marin gave Prince Sigmont a blank look and said:
"I have so much food, but do I dare to sell it with great fanfare? If hundreds of millions of pounds of rye suddenly flow into the market, do you think about the consequences? If other countries know that I have advanced agricultural technology and powerful fertilizers, they must join forces to force me to hand over the secrets. So, I have a lot of food, and there are more than 1 billion pounds of food in the warehouse, but so what? I dare not sell them all! Even if you, even if you become the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania, you have such a secret and are you afraid of being known?"
Prince Siegmont thought for a while, then fell silent...
Poland and Lithuania are both monarchies of aristocratic republics who were in power for a while. There is nothing wrong with this. Although it is not a constitutional monarchy, the Polish king and the Lithuanian grand duke are really not as powerful as ordinary kings. Their power is greater than that of the kings of constitutional monarchy, but far less than that of kings like France and Spain.
If we let everyone know that Prince Sigmunt has the secret to increase grain output several times, not to mention foreign enemies, I am afraid that the great nobles of Poland and Lithuania will unite and force Prince Sigmunt to hand over the secret...
Thinking of this, Prince Sigmont was sweating profusely, and he understood why Marin asked him to find a very remote fiefdom for fertilization and farming.
Only remote places will not attract the attention of other nobles in the country, and it will be difficult for people to discover secrets.
Fortunately, Prince Sigmont listened to Marin's advice and spent a lot of money to buy a very remote baron fief. Its location is approximately located near the Baltic Sea and near the border area of ​​Germany's far Pomeranian region.
This area is close to the German region and belongs to the border area of ​​Poland. Moreover, it is a long distance from the bustling commercial port of Danze at the mouth of the Vistula River. Therefore, this area is very remote for Poland and there are almost no people to come. Moreover, it has a very convenient fishing village, Ustka, which can easily transport grain out quietly without attracting attention. In addition, it is not easy to transport fertilizers over by Marin. If it is replaced with a manor in an inland area, it is easy to attract attention for those who are interested in transporting fertilizers over by Marin. Then, the manor transports a large amount of grain, which is easy to attract attention...
However, the baron owned a little more land. When Prince Sigmont bought it, it contained 15,000 Yugram's arable land...
So, Prince Sigmont looked at his second brother-in-law Marin with a humble look, hoping that Marin would provide more fertilizer...
After all, 10,000 Yugram arable land is 120,000 mu, and the yield per mu is 400 pounds, even if the net profit is 300 pounds per mu, there will be 36 million pounds of rye annually. Calculated at 1 Finney per pound, it is 36 million Finney, worth 600,000 gold coins. If there is more fertilizer required for 5,000 Yugram ar land, it can have an additional annual income of 300,000 gold coins...
So, for the annual income of the 300,000 gold coins, Prince Sigmont didn't want to be shameless and just pestered Marlin...
Looking at the sloppy Prince Sigmont, Marin was angry and depressed. However, he thought that the Grand Duke Alexander might die next year, and this guy would become the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania. Therefore, Marin still softened his heart and agreed to provide an additional 5,000 Yugrams of fertilizer. However, Marin repeatedly said that it is impossible to want more. In addition, the secret of the fertilizer must be kept secret and not let others know.
Prince Sigmont naturally nodded violently, and he was not stupid, so he naturally knew that keeping confidential was the most beneficial to him. If everyone knew that there was too much food to eat, then would he still make money?
After getting the huge benefits he wanted, Prince Sigmont turned around and immediately went to please his future wife Anne. This guy has received a complete palace education and is knowledgeable, so he naturally coaxed Anne, who had never seen any world.
Marin didn't care about his coaxing Anne. Anyway, Anne was just his sister, not his daughter. Old Hoffman was still there, and it was not his turn to worry about Anne. Generally speaking, the father-in-law is not very friendly to his son-in-law. Because the son-in-law will steal his precious daughter. But Old Hoffman is very weird. I heard that Prince Sigmunt will become the king of Poland. He treats Prince Sigmunt, the prospective son-in-law, as if he is still close to his own son, and he has no intention of making things difficult for him... The old man doesn't make things difficult for others, and Marin doesn't have to be a villain and make things difficult for his brother-in-law...

After the autumn harvest, the nine provinces under Marin immediately began statistics. The first to complete statistics were naturally East Friesland, Oldenburg and Schleswig under Marin's original rule. Marin had already completed comprehensive control of these three places and established a strict administrative system with high efficiency.
According to statistics, the total grain output in these three regions this year is 1.5 billion pounds, a slight decrease from last year, but it is not much different and is basically the same. Among them, Marin's personal figure is as much as 860 million pounds, which is similar to last year.
As for other areas, about 70,000 Yugram land in the Normmunster area was also owned by Marin, but because the fertilizer processing plant was not built in time there, the fertilizer supply was insufficient. Therefore, the yield per mu there should not exceed 200 pounds (after all, some fertilizer was used, but the amount was severely lacking). In addition, the large investment in the Normmunster area this year, Marin did not expect to make a profit there.
Similarly, the large amount of land that Sifries was originally stolen by the Principality of Gedes was also returned to Marin. However, the land there had never been fertilizer, and the yield per mu was just over a hundred pounds, so Marin was too lazy to see more.
As for the arable land in Bremen and Jutland, Marin allowed the former lord to take away all the income from this autumn harvest, so there was no need for statistics.
But no matter what, the Grand Duchy of Beihai is another bumper year this year. The problem brought by the bumper harvest is that there are not enough granaries...
Therefore, in order to put the new grain into the warehouse, Marin had to clean up some of the old grains from last year. First, make some space to fill new grains. Second, it can also be exchanged for a large amount of coins and other necessities.
The preliminary plan is that Marin plans to take out 300 million pounds of rye. In addition, he will help his nobles sell 200 million pounds of rye...
Marin could already imagine the huge fluctuations in the food market...
In order to reduce the impact on the German grain market, Marin decided to build several new merchant groups, traveling between the Grand Duchy of the North Sea and the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Italy, and do his best to bring all the 500 million pounds of grain to the market. Moreover, sell them as high as possible.
