The Rise of the European Emperor

With mixed feelings, Marin returned to the Aurich Palace and decided to visit his precious son. However, when he went to the backyard of the palace and saw his son, Marin was directly depressed...

Because, in Malin's mind, he would be the son of a European overlord in the future, and he was crawling on the carpet like a puppy. What's even more irritating is that this little aunt Felice is teasing little Caesar with a red ball. It felt like walking the dog...

"What's the matter..." Marin was upset, my son took the domineering name of Caesar, and he was going to be a hegemon in the future, but you actually walked him like a puppy, didn't it seriously reduce the force?

So, seeing that there were only Angela, Ferris and Caesar at the scene, and no outsiders were present, Marin strode forward and directly caught Ferris who was still teasing little Caesar. Liz's little PP hit "pa-pa-pa-" three times...

"Ah—" Ferris was suddenly attacked and exclaimed.

Angela is also very dissatisfied - you two sons and daughters, even if you want to play SM, don't be in front of the big woman... Also, the baby is also there...

"Why? Why beat Ferris?" Angela asked in dissatisfaction.

"This dead girl, walking my son as a puppy, can I spare her?" Marin said angrily.

"Pfft—haha—" Angela couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at? It's also your son. How can you be walked around like a puppy?"

"I really don't have common sense. This is what my mother taught me. She said that when a child is eight or nine months old, he begins to learn to crawl. It is healthier to crawl more. Our Caesar has just turned 8 months, and he is already very proficient in crawling. So smart!" Angela said, hugging little Caesar and kissing him, making the little guy grin.

"Crawling..." Marin remembered, it seemed that the baby did have a crawling stage before learning to walk...

"Of course, I just used this ball to tease Little Caesar just to make him crawl faster." Ferris said dissatisfiedly, clutching Little PP. After speaking, he threw the ball to the ground, bounced up, and caught it again...

Marin's eyes were instantly attracted by this small ball...

This red ball is about the size of a ping pong ball. Of course, that's not what attracts Marin. What attracted Marlin was that the ball was so bouncy, it bounced so high on a wool rug...

"Ferriss, show me this ball..."

"Why? As a father, do you want to grab a toy with Little Caesar?" Angela on the side was not happy - it was my son's toy...

"No... No, I just want to know why this ball is so elastic..."

This ball reminded Marin of the legendary Chinese national ball - table tennis...

If the quality is really that good, Marin doesn't mind playing table tennis, it's a good entertainment project...

Hearing Marin say this, Ferris didn't say anything, and handed the little red ball directly to Marin. As soon as Marin grabbed his hand, he felt a little sticky, and squeezed it—it was so elastic...

"Why is it so rubber-like, but it doesn't seem like... Where did this ball come from?"

"This, it was sent by Baron Columbus, who said it was from the natives in the Wild Islands. He brought back a few, which he said were the toys of the native children there, and some were given to a small museum in Spain. now..."

"Columbus... Wild Islands... Is it really natural rubber? No, I clearly remember that natural rubber should still be in the virgin jungle of the Brazilian Amazon..."

Marin did not know that natural rubber is indeed native to the Brazilian rainforest. However, there are also people in the tropical rain forest...

Although the Indians in the Brazilian rainforest have a very low level of civilization, they are far inferior to the Incas in the Andes and the Aztecs and Mayans in Mexico.

But also human.

Through the exchanges and trade between primitive tribes in these tropical rainforests, the seeds of natural rubber have long been taken out of the Brazilian rainforest and brought to the Caribbean Sea. Then, through the canoes of the Caribs, it was spread to the islands in the Caribbean Sea...

"Someone, go and invite Baron Columbus!" Since Columbus brought it back, he must know more details, so he simply called over and asked.

"Yes!" The guard immediately went to execute the order.

Unfortunately, Columbus is still on the farm in Lyle County. Because the autumn harvest has just ended, Columbus is inspecting the harvest on his estate.

"God, I didn't expect such a small farm to produce 6 million pounds of rye a year! So much rye can be sold for a sky-high price of 100,000 gold coins. If I knew that farming was so profitable, I would still do it. What a big voyage! Farming is more profitable than sailing!" Columbus participated in the autumn harvest of the manor that Marin allocated to him for the first time. In the past two years, he made two trips to India in a row, and his wife took care of the family. He didn't ask about the output of the manor, and he didn't know that the food output of his manor was so high.

"It's all thanks to Lord Marin's advanced farming tools and fertilizers!" said Columbus's second wife, Beatrice, a Spanish woman.

"What farm tools and fertilizers?" Columbus was a big man in the maritime world, and he was indeed an idiot in farming.

"I'm not sure, but the farming tools are all made of iron anyway. It is said that the ploughs used by the serfs are more advanced than those of other countries. Heavy ploughing. As for the fertilizer...I don't know at all, because it was sent by the fertilizer factory under the name of the Count, and no one knows what the ingredients are..."

"I understand, the Count is telling everyone that if you leave him, everyone will not want to make a fortune..." Columbus also had political savvy. Knowing that Marin held the secret of fertilizer, ordinary people would not be so easy to betray. Unless you don't want to get rich.

"Christopher, can you find a way to give Fernando (the second son of Columbus) a hereditary title?" Beatrice asked expectantly. You know, Columbus's baron title will be inherited by his eldest son Diego in the future. However, Diego was born to Columbus's first wife, Philippa, not his current wife, Beatrice. Columbus is also getting older. If he dies one day, Diego may not treat his brother Fernando favorably. Because Beatrice usually prefers her son Fernando. So, Beatrice was worried that after Columbus died, Diego would drive her mother and son out. Therefore, he wanted Columbus to help his son Fernando also mix a title and fief.

"This...it's a bit difficult...Unless, I make another great contribution...India has been discovered, do I go to Huaxia next time?" Columbus fell into deep thought...
