Chapter 1422： The French moved

Originally, Marin planned to promote honeycomb coal and honeycomb stoves earlier. However, the problem of Simon's marriage suddenly forced Marin to temporarily delay the promotion of honeycomb.

why? As soon as the coal briquette is promoted, the Lamarck family will know how much mistake they made in changing the Ruhr area. If they become angry and angry, Simon's marriage will fail.

And if Simon cannot marry Princess Anna, the old Huffman will definitely find himself desperate! Therefore, Marin can only temporarily postpone the promotion of honeycomb coal. By the time Simon and Princess Anna get married, the Lamarcks family will be the same no matter how hot it is. Because, this year will not allow divorce ...

Of course, Marin didn't want to completely turn his face with the Lamarck family. Therefore, by then Marin will definitely give some benefits. For example, let the Lamarck family act as the general agent of coal distribution and let them exploit a layer of profits. Anyway, the coal mine is still in their own hands, and it's okay to give them points. Even if you do n’t find them as agents, you can also find someone else to sell them.

In this era, Marinco could not realize the "101 plan" of Coca-Cola. Because communication and logistics in this era are extremely inconvenient. It is unrealistic to want to directly face customers through the "101" plan, bypassing regional distributors. A single communication basically relies on the sorrowful reality of roaring to make the plan bankrupt.

Therefore, if you want to sell coal, you need to find distributors to cooperate. At that time, it would be a kind of compensation to let the Lamarck family act as an agent in several areas. If you are still dissatisfied, there is no way. After all, Marin couldn't spit out the Ruhr area he ate.

Speaking of it, honeycomb is really an artifact. Don't look down on it, but it's so good. Therefore, even if Mr. Guo, who invented the honeycomb coal, was given a Nobel Prize, Marin would not feel too much. Because the use of honeycomb is too great.

Of course, honeycomb coal is out of date. Because, in the 20th century, gas and natural gas were already popular in the world. Honeycomb coal only appeared in the 1950s, and was invented a little late. If it appears a hundred years ago, it will surely become a super-classic invention.

Marin remembers that in the 20th century, China was unable to install gas pipes because of poverty. Therefore, the vast majority of urban residents use the honeycomb stove for cooking. At that time, when you walked into the dormitory area of ​​the factory or the aisle of the tube house, piles of honeycomb coal could be seen everywhere.

Especially for building residents, it is hard to imagine without honeycomb. Because, the bungalow can also get a clay stove with a chimney. Then, a lot of firewood was piled in the yard. However, in buildings like the Tongzi Building, would you try to build a soil stove? Residents on the top floor can also erect chimneys. Where are chimneys on the lower floors? If the chimney is installed outside the window, the cooking smoke from the upper households will blow into the households of the households above when the kitchen is cooking.

However, with honeycomb coal, it is different. With honeycomb coal, building residents can set up a honeycomb stove in the aisle to cook and boil water. Of course, the home is large enough to cook and boil water at home. However, the area of ​​the tongzi building is too small. In order not to make the home black and white, most people cook and boil water outside the door. And the honeycomb coal stove is a little bigger, it can be easily lifted up and down with one hand ...

Before the invention and popularization of honeycomb coal stoves, people generally burned earth stoves or briquettes. However, the efficiency of the briquette furnace is not high, the coal consumption is still large, and it is not so economical.

In the era of earthen stoves, there was still a profession in the countryside called "Woodman", which is to cut wood. Because at that time, urban residents also burned earth stoves, and there was a great demand for firewood.

In order to supply the needs of urban life, many woodmen enter the mountain to cut wood, and then, pick up or use a trolley to promote the sale in the city. Moreover, supply is in short supply.

Because it is impossible to cook and heat without firewood, firewood is a very important living resource in ancient times. When the ancients described life as trivial, they also described it as "chai rice, oil, salt". Among them, the word "chai" ranked first, showing its importance.

But after the appearance of honeycomb coal, the world changed. Maybe, people describe life as trivial, so they have to say "coal rice oil salt" ...

A simple honeycomb can bring tremendous convenience to urban residents and change people's lives. Once honeycomb coal is popularized, the demand for coal throughout Europe will be extremely huge.

There is a demand for honeycomb coal, and Marin can simply lie at home and wait for money without any coal-fired steam engine. Because, people can not use industrial products a day, but they ca n’t cook or boil water every day ... And honeycomb coal is so convenient to cook and boil water, and the cost is very low. As long as you are not stupid, you must choose honeycomb coal ...

Of course, transportation is extremely inconvenient, or is too far from the coal-producing area, it is not easy to say. After all, the cost of land transportation in this era is too high. If the transportation cost is too high, people might as well use firewood.

But what is certain is that where water transportation is developed, it is easy to bring a lot of coal to promote the use of honeycomb coal. For example, the Rhine River Basin, Ames River Basin, Weser River Basin and Elbe River Basin ~ www.novelhall.com ~ can easily promote honeycomb coal. And the basins of these rivers are basically equivalent to half of Germany ...

Also, do n’t forget that Marin is now the number one coal mine owner in England. In England, Marin can also make a fortune ...

...

However, in order to allow Simon's marriage to proceed smoothly, Marin had to suspend the promotion of honeycomb even if he knew of the dominance of honeycomb. After Simon got married, he planned to promote the use of coal briquette.

Therefore, Marin sent a delegation to River City to discuss the marriage with the Lamarck family. In order to make a quick decision as quickly as possible, Marin requested that the marriage date be set earlier so as to avoid long nights. At the same time, he also sent a generous gift to the Lamarck family, so that they can quickly agree. Once the Lamarcks agreed, Marin planned to get Simon married as soon as possible, so as not to delay selling coal ...

...

When Marin had a headache about Simon's marriage and beehive coal, the spring cultivation in Europe was gradually coming to an end. At this time, only the northern region continued to cultivate in the spring, while the spring cultivation in the central and southern regions of Europe has basically stopped.

At this time, the French began to move. Once the spring ploughing is over, France can free up a large number of civilians and even sergeants. In this era, Europe mainly planted rye and barley, which do not need much management. Once the spring cultivation is over and the planting is completed, European farmers basically have nothing to do. At this time, it is very suitable for waging war ...

So, after the end of spring cultivation in the southern region, Louis XII ordered the entire France to move to prepare for the French army to enter Italy. The hegemony conflict between the Kingdom of France and Spain is also on the verge.

The movement to gather tens of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of civilians is too great to be unobtrusive. Therefore, after most of the spring cultivation, Louis XII was busy not sending troops, but keeping secrets ...
