Chapter 941： It ’s another year of spring cultivation

Before forging French silver coins, Marin deliberately let his men make the mold very rough. Moreover, when pressing coins, the screw-type coin press does not use its full force, resulting in the French “silver coin” that is pressed out is rough and looks like it was made by hand.

But to make brass coins for the country, Marin does not need to roughen the mold deliberately, but orders the craftsmen to pursue exquisite precision. In this way, it is difficult for others to imitate. Carving a fine pattern on a copper coin weighing only 1.5 grams is tantamount to a person dancing on the palm, which is very difficult. Therefore, the quality of traditional hand-made coins is often uneven. After all, people make mistakes. The machine does not, as long as the mold is not damaged, the copper coins that are pressed out are the same. Moreover, the protruding font can be suppressed deeper, just like the steel seal of later generations.

Don't look at copper is very hard, but if the temperature is high, copper becomes very soft. As long as an annealing furnace is used to heat the cut round copper sheet to more than 700 degrees, the copper sheet is very soft. At this time, put the copper sheet into the coin press with a clip, and turn the screw column to quickly press hard, and you can do whatever you want. Moreover, the patterns are beautiful and precise, and the traces are very deep.

If it is made by hand, you can't do this. Why? Because it is very slow to build by hand. Take the copper sheet out of the annealing furnace and knock the temperature below 700 degrees with a few taps. Then, the originally softened copper gradually hardened, making the processing difficult. The machine suppression is different. Because it can be successfully pressed in a short time, it can ensure that the mechanical processing is completed before the copper sheet is softened.

Sure enough, the nine-cross golden eagle copper coin processed by the mint was of very good quality. The patterns and texts are not only exquisite and precise, but also the depth of the patterns and texts is almost the same as that of gold coins. However, if the purity of the gold coin is high enough, it is very soft, and the craftsmen can naturally beat it to a certain depth by hand. However, nowadays impure silver and copper coins, because of the high hardness, are often difficult to achieve by hand.

In addition, the brass coins are made of brass, and they are so shiny that many people almost mistakenly think that this is a gold coin. Fortunately, gold coins are generally 3.56 grams in size, much larger than this small 1.5 gram copper coin. Otherwise, it is easy to be misunderstood.

After making a batch of small copper coins, the mint suddenly declared the brass panic. It turns out that the copper ore reserves of the metallurgical plant are limited, while there are more copper ingots. However, it is difficult to directly use copper ingots for smelting brass. In desperation, Marin ordered a large amount of refined copper ore powder from Fa Yilun Copper Mine, which had recovered half of its shares, for brass smelting. The first batch of tens of thousands of small brass coins, Marin sent Kohler to Emden, the core trading port of the North Sea. As for the first object used, it is naturally a tavern. After all, for a bulk beer, a Finney silver coin can buy a lot. Change to 8 copper coins for wine and drink, the amount is more moderate ... Then, the large-scale copper coin promotion can only wait until the brass can be produced in large quantities ...

...

When Marin worked on brass coins, it was March of Yangchun. This season happens to be a busy season for spring cultivation. Except for Manhattan Island, which specializes in growing winter wheat, and tropical colonies that do not need to consider the seasons, the North Sea country, and North American colonies, this season is busy doing spring cultivation.

Different from the killing of males and females by sheep, cows are for livestock, and bulls are the main force, even for castrated bulls.

Therefore, the bulls in the North Sea country, except for a small number of strong bulls without horns, have to survive because they have to keep the seeds. The other bulls got a knife under their hips ... and then, there was a copper ring on their nose ...

Next, the bullfighting is done. If it is okay to obey, if it is not to obey ... can only be made into beef ...

As for the cows, although they ca n’t catch up with the bulls, they are able to work. They have less energy, but they are better than no animals. The most important thing is that cows can produce calves ...

Moreover, unlike in previous years, the fields in the North Sea country, mainly those in old provinces such as East Friesland, have once again seen horses used for arable land ...

Previously, because cattle farming has always been advocated, and the source of cattle is very sufficient, Marin is inferior to those who raise horses with high breeding costs. Therefore, the earliest thousands of horses in East Frisian Lambert were either used to pull carts, or were sent to the two islands of North America for breeding mules with donkeys.

Even, Marin also intends to implement the system of cattle farming instead of horse farming in other North Sea countries outside East Friesland to further save breeding costs.

But Mikel's words awoke Marin-although the cost of raising horses is expensive, there are too many arable land. For Malin who lacks a population, it is the most reasonable to use horse farming, and breeding costs should not be considered ...

Then, Marin's attitude came to a huge change, and he made a huge adjustment in this year's spring farming-manor with enough labor, continue to use cattle farming, and allocate more to cattle farming; , The main use of Ma Geng ...

In addition, Marin used hard and semi-hard means to replace all the estates of the original nobles and Junker landlords who were not their own to the province of Bremen. Even the former nobles of Oldenburg and the Principality of Schleswig, who had stood aside, were changed to the province of Bremen. In this way, the province of Bremen has become a concentrated area of ​​abandoned people.

However, unlike the exiles in other countries, these abandoned nobles, after the fiefs were changed to the province of Bremen, did not suffer at all. Because the land in Bremen is also quite fertile, as much as the land before them. The only bad thing is that Marin will not open new agricultural technology to them. In this way, the output will not go up. However, for Quyuanli, Marin shared with them. After all, the Quyuan Plow is just arable land to save animal power and improve the efficiency of arable land, which has little effect on crop yield.

But that's what surprised the nobles who stood by. Even, they thought it was Marin's agricultural secret. However, no one dared to leak the secrets casually. After all, Marin's heart is cruel, but it's not just for fun. Affected by the ancient Chinese culture, Marin killed the nobles like "cutting the door", the nobles committed crimes alone, and the whole family died. Therefore, these living nobles have long been afraid of being killed. How dare they betray Malin?

Moreover, Marin is equivalent to giving up the Bremen province, and those nobles toss in Bremen. Even, when freedom was originally restricted and concentrated in the nobles of Las Vegas, Marin allowed them to return to their estates. Of course, it was replaced by a manor in Bremen.

However, many nobles have adapted to the extravagant life of Las Vegas, and are no longer willing to return to the country estate. In this regard, Marin ’s attitude is-at will, as long as you do n’t randomly recruit the army to rebel, or commit crimes and kill people, you can do anything else ... In addition, if you want a woman, tell the Las Vegas side, prepay Deposit, can help bring some beautiful Mao sister over ...

In other words, Marin has decided to abandon Bremen and use it as an area for captive old nobles. Of course, Bremen also has areas that are not part of the old aristocratic manor, and Marin does not care. However, there was no easy way to promote new agricultural technologies there, lest the old nobles know that it was not fair. However, Quyuan plows and cattle farming, Marin still provides enough. After all, there is really no shortage of cattle now. The Crimean Khanate now supplies tens of thousands of cattle each year, and Marin has cattle in his hands.

Even, because of Marin's behavior, the Crimean Khanate reduced the number of robberies. Why? There is a chance to make money in peace, who wants to go out and desperately? Now, Crimea has expanded its cattle breeding scale. The reason why I always go out to grab people is because other countries are more resistant to Tatars and are reluctant to trade with them. And the Turks who are willing to trade with the Crimean Tatars, there is no shortage of cattle and sheep, only the women and children robbed by the Crimean Khanate ... Then, because of market demand, the Crimean I had to grab the population of Eastern European countries ...

How to say, market demand determines everything. The Crimean Khanate is a country that sees money. When the market needs slaves, they go to Eastern European countries to grab people. When the market demanded cattle, they turned into herdsmen and went to herd.

Of course, the demand for Mao Mei and Mao Hai (Mao Zi's children, referred to as Mao Hai) in Turkey is also very stable. Therefore, now the Crimean Khanates are robbing Mao Mei and Mao Hai while herding cattle. Of course, there is also Grandpa Mao. It is said that Grandpa Mao is also quite popular in the market now. After all, Mao Gonggong is strong and able to work, and he does n’t have to worry about being green. Turkish beards can also use it with confidence ... Even some ordinary Turkish rich people like to buy Mao Gonggong as a slave to help Sheep ...

Then, under the confusion of Crimea, Marin, and the fact that the North Sea country really lacked population, made him want to buy Mao Mei and Mao Hai in large quantities. As for Grandpa Mao, it seems that you can also buy a little ...

Mao Meiren is beautiful and strong, and can be a wife for the young people of Beihai. At the same time, it is also possible to be a woman for the colonists, and to give birth to children is the growing population of Beihai. Usually, the strong Mao Mei can help work. As for Mao Hai, Marin only needs to be under 8 years old. Because such small children can be cooked up and become real citizens of the North Sea. If you are too young, you will not be well-fed.

As for the Grandfather Mao, Marin dare not buy more. Why? Because these grandfathers were forcibly castrated after adulthood, their resentment must be very big, and they have their own mature values, which is difficult to return to. If you buy more, let them hold a group, maybe you will retaliate against the society ...

However, Marin suddenly thought of a good place to house the father-in-law of Senegal ...

Marin is really hard to let the black uncles hunt rhinos. After all, these black uncles are not smart enough to ride horses ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Even if Marin sent a team to teach them, they may not necessarily learn . But those grandfathers are different, they come from the prairie and prairies of Eastern Europe. It is very convenient to send them to hunt rhinos in the Senegal grasslands. After all, many of these Mao's fathers can ride horses and use modern equipment. Even if it does n’t, it ’s quick to teach.

Unlike local black natives, giving them muskets may not be able to hit them. For example, how bad is the combat power of those black nations of later generations in Africa? They use firearms, basically do not aim. The large-scale use of AK47 is because AK can catch enemies. As for precise aiming shooting? Sorry, if you look at the shooting position of the African black guys holding the AK, you will know whether they can shoot accurately-the regular army in other places are double-handed guns, stooping forward, and using bunkers from time to time. And the black uncles, standing directly there, ecstasy lifted AK over their heads, completely shot ... often a battle of mutual shots, the bullets hit a lot, but few people died, just listen to the sound of AK ...

Therefore, despite the fact that Marin made a steel ball for the rhinoceros, he still had to use a reliable shooter. If you use a rifle with low accuracy for the local black buddies, it is estimated that the shooting accuracy is comparable to that of the national football team. And Grandpa Mao ’s shooting talent is better than the black buddies ...

It's just that Marin didn't know that it was this group of Mao's father-in-law who sent him to teach the locals to ride horses and shoot. Then, the natives of Senegal grew up to be the most powerful force in West Africa. Even, in the myths and legends of later generations, this group of Mao Gonggongs became "god envoys" sent by gods to guide the black brothers of Senegal. It's just a pity that the gods don't look at the black girls in Senegal, otherwise, it is better to leave a "God Seed" ... (Mao Duke crying and dizzy in the toilet-the paralyzed labor and capital were cut JJ, how to keep the seed ...)
