Chapter 1514： Wurttemberg Peasant Uprising

The firing of honeycomb coal stoves is simple, and the manufacture of tongs is also easy. Making honeycomb coal is also very simple. Marin made hundreds of artificial honeycomb coal presses in one go with the original wooden mold and sand box casting method. Then, the production of honeycomb coal became extremely simple. Moreover, the fast volume is large.

Because of the prevalence of soup stock, the Aurich City honeycomb stove quickly became popular. It even spreads from noble families to civilian families with good families. Next, it spread to other parts of Beihai.

Moreover, Marin is also preparing to start promoting the use of honeycomb coal. So, he let the potters burn thousands of honeycomb stoves in one breath, and then, he started a free delivery ...

First of all, it is natural to give to the pope's father-in-law who is far away in Rome. Good things must definitely consider his old man first. Malinte dispatched a ship with hundreds of honeycomb stoves and loaded with honeycomb full of ships, ready to be shipped to Rome. The cost of briquette is very low, but if it is transported by land, the cost will increase too much. Therefore, sea and land transportation is the cheapest.

However, the transport from Emden port to a port near Rome would have to bypass almost half of Europe, which is estimated to take a long time. In short, it is estimated that Pope ’s use of coal briquettes will last at least a month.

Then, His Majesty Emperor Maximilian I must also send. Although the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire had no real power, it was nominally the highest secular monarch in the German region and was respected on the surface. What's more, Maximilian I was the owner of Marin. Therefore, to give a set to the emperor is also what it should be.

However, sending honeycomb coal stoves and coal briquettes to Austria is much more difficult. After all, there are many mountain routes to Austria. Therefore, Marin did not ship much in the past. Otherwise, land freight is too high.

In the future, even if the emperor wanted to use a honeycomb coal stove, it had to be transported through the mountain road in southern Germany. The cost was not low. Therefore, the sales of honeycomb coal in Austria are doomed.

Netherland Ghent, where Prince Philip, the son of His Majesty the Emperor, lived, was a good place. Water transportation was well developed, and he could transport large quantities of honeycomb at any time. This time, Marin also sent a batch of past.

Of course, Marin is not concerned about how much honeycomb coal Prince Philip can consume, but about the consumption capacity of the Netherlands. There are many rich merchants in the Netherlands, and they are all good potential consumers. Like the Flemish region, although the wool industry has been hit, it has not collapsed. Therefore, the income of people there is much higher than other places, and the potential consumption power is also stronger. Marin sent the honeycomb stove to Crown Prince Philip, who set an example for the Dutch nobles and rich businessmen to attract them to buy and use honeycomb coal.

...

When he was sent to John II, Duke of Cliff, his new in-law, John II's face collapsed ...

He was not a fool anymore. As soon as the messenger sent by Marin explained the use of the honeycomb stove, he knew he was suffering a great loss. You know, he switched to Marin ’s northern Ruhr River in the northern part of Macbeth. There are many coal mines.

However, he thought about it-it seemed that he had n’t looked down on those coal mines before, and those coal mines were not under his control ... Of course, he was required to collect taxes on the trade of coal mines, and the tax rate was for each chartron Coal tax 2 Finney, not too much.

However, after all, he still has an uncomfortable feeling of "getting a big loss". Because, from the introduction of the messenger, he can see that the honeycomb coal must be in fire. The honeycomb coal fire will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in coal mining. Even if there is no coal mine in his hand, but with taxes, he can still get a large tax ...

Of course, Marin is a kind man and will not let him suffer too much. No, the messenger sent by Marin immediately made a suggestion as a vague compensation for John II ...

The messenger suggested that the Lamarck family of John II could be used as the general agent for the sale of honeycomb coal under the Lamarck family's control in the Principality of Cliff, Lower Geddes, Jülich and Berg. Marin will supply John II in large quantities at a low price of 3 shillings per 1500 briquettes. Then, John II can sell at a high price of more than 5 shillings. In this way, John II can obtain a 40% high profit through the sales of coal briquettes, which is much more than taxation ...

Suddenly, with great benefits, John II said nothing. On the Marin side, because the cost of coal mining is very low, making honeycomb coal is also simple, and there is no loss. At most, it gave up a lot of benefits.

Moreover, the sale of honeycomb coal in various princes does require the cooperation of these princes. Otherwise, it is difficult to open the market. Therefore, no matter which princely country sells honeycomb coal, making profits for local princes is inevitable. At most, the interest rate given to the general princes is much less than that given to John II, Duke of Cliff ...

...

With Marin making a lot of money, John II was immediately enthusiastic about the promotion of honeycomb. After all, for every 1,500 briquettes sold, he can make 2 shillings. How could he not be happy about such a good thing?

Marin also gave him a very high profit, which was equivalent to giving him only 60% of the market price. And for other princes, the lowest must have 80% of the market price ...

...

While Marin was busy promoting honeycomb coal stoves, a news suddenly came from the south-a large-scale peasant uprising broke out in the Principality of Württemberg in the south ...

In fact, the peasant uprising in the Principality of Württemberg is nothing new. Because, since the "Hus war" that broke out in the early 15th century, the German region has experienced many peasant uprisings. For example, in 1476, a peasant uprising broke out in Franken, Franconia. However, because of the leak, the tens of thousands of peasants' uprisings had not yet begun, and the leader, "Drummer Hans," was arrested. Although a large uprising of 16,000 people broke out later, the peasants were headless because they were arrested in advance, and they were naturally defeated by the nobles.

Subsequently, a peasant uprising broke out in Carinthia in 1478; a peasant uprising broke out in Algoi in 1492; a peasant uprising broke out in Alsace in 1493; a peasant uprising broke out in Speyer in 1502 ...

These uprisings all broke out in southern Germany ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Most of them were launched in the name of "shoe club". The so-called "shoe association" is actually an organization similar to the Tiandi Association in the Qing Dynasty.

Just last year, in 1513, in the Breischgau area, thousands of "shoe club" peasant uprisings broke out.

Breischgau is next to the canton of Zurich in northeastern Switzerland and belongs to the Swabian League. Here belong to several lords who are attached to the Habsburg family.

In the past, the local nobles could not cope with this peasant uprising, and the Swiss canton of Zurich next door dispatched Swiss mercenaries to help suppress it. In this time and space, the canton of Zurich has been occupied by the Habsburg family. Naturally, the lords of Breischgau do not need to resort to Swiss mercenaries, but directly to the Habsburg family. Then, Frenzberg casually sent three thousand people to suppress the uprising. Moreover, 5000 uprising farmers were captured. As for the leader, hundreds of people were hanged by the Habsburg family ...

But I did not expect that the peasant uprising of Breischgau was just suppressed, and the neighboring country of Württemberg, northeast of Breischgau, also broke out the "poor Conrad" peasant uprising.

Originally, this uprising only involved 3,000 to 5,000 farmers. However, due to the emergence and intervention of Marin, a large number of mountain people in the mountains of the Principality of Württemberg were recruited by Marin. As a result, Ulrich, the Duke of Wertemberg, who was desperate for luxury, could only distribute the heavy taxes to the peasants of Württemberg. Then, the oppressed peasants were naturally dissatisfied. This peasant uprising, which had originally participated in up to 5,000 people, reached more than 8,000 people ...

When the news came, 8000 Württemberg farmers had surrounded Stuttgart ...
