Chapter 157: Relocation of old salt cooking base
While preparing for the paper mill on Cape Breton Island, Marin simply solved the problem of relocating the salt cooking base. At present, Marin has two more salt cooking bases: Texel Island Yancheng Salt Cooking Base and Baltrum Island's New Salt City Salt Cooking Base.
Among them, Yancheng, the old salt cooking center on Texel Island, relied on the coal **** transported from the Hoffman Estate near Bochum city to use **** made of pulverized coal and yellow mud as fuel. Therefore, it is more dependent on the briquettes transported from the coal mine in the Hoffman Estate on the Ruhr River through the Rhine.
The new salt city on Baltrum Island relies on coal imported from Newcastle coal mine in England across the sea. In terms of cost, the briquettes imported from the Hoffman Estate use the family price, which is about 1.5 tons to 1.7 tons of coal per charteron, and the total cost is 2 shillings per charteron. But for coal imported from Newcastle, England, the purchase price is as high as 4 shillings per chartron.
If the cost is calculated, it is natural to close the new salt city on Baltrum Island and keep the old salt city on Texel Island.
However, this is not the case. Because, regardless of whether Xinyancheng uses coal from its own coal mine, or uses coal imported from Newcastle, Britain, the profit of salt cooking is extremely high. In particular, Marin also uses a wood-saving stove in the salt cooking base, which is more efficient in cooking salt.
If considering the cost alone, it is natural that Texel Island has an advantage. But if it is considered confidential, then Baltrum Island has an absolute advantage ...
Because Baltrum Island is on the coast of East Friesland. And it is a remote place. In the past, there was a risk of leaking because the east side was a little bit of the Jever region. But now Jever is also under Marin's control zone. Marin can easily set up a restricted zone near Baltrum Island to prevent people from coming close at will. Moreover, after returning from Denmark, near Baltrum Island, Marin also arranged several non-stop 25o-class warships to ensure that no enemy invaded.
In this way, the new salt city of the salt cooking base on Baltrum Island has high security ...
It is the earliest salt cooking center, the old salt city on Texel Island. Because it is too close to the Dutch area on the 6th, it is often watched by Dutch fishermen. If it weren't for the tall salt walls built in the salt cooking center, perhaps the salt cooking secrets of the old salt city had long been revealed.
In fact, there are currently many people interested in Old Yancheng. In addition to the sudden incident in which the coal carrier was born in the Duchy of Geddes last time, Marin increasingly felt that it was too unsafe to cook salt on Texel Island ...
After all, Texel is only a few kilometers away from the 6 largest European part of Europe. Moreover, the Mars waterway on the south side of Texel Island is also an important route for Amsterdam merchant ships to enter and exit, which is too many eyes.
Although Old Yancheng built a tall wall, it blocked the eyes of outsiders. However, the black smoke from a large number of wood-saving stoves boiled with salt every day is indeed eye-catching. If Marin had forbidden outsiders to set foot on other parts of Texel Island except for the accident in Port Thollenche, the old Yancheng had long been investigated for secrets. Even, the garrison on the island, mainly the guards of the old Yancheng, has killed a total of 32 foreign spies so far, and caused some diplomatic disputes ...
Therefore, after thinking left and right, Marin finally made the decision to relocate the personnel and equipment of the old Yancheng on Texel Island to Cape Breton Island ...
In this way, those prying eyes would have no way to find out Marin's secret. Then, Marin asked the salt cookers to cook the salt on Cape Breton Island in the Americas, and then ship it back to Europe. Who can figure it out?
Anyway, in this war against Denmark, Marin was assigned to 15o merchant ships with enough capacity. No matter how many people or equipment, it can be easily transported to Cape Breton Island. At the same time, it is also very convenient to transport the property of Cape Breton Island back to Europe.
However, since the salt cooking base on Texel Island has been removed, there is no need to supply briquettes from the Hoffmann Estate coal mine near Bochum. This was indeed a blow to the hundreds of miners at Hoffman Estate and the serf-workers who shook the coal balls.
After all, once the Texel Island Salt Cooking Center does not need them to provide briquettes, it will also affect the production of the Hoffman Estate Coal Mine. Those serf-workers who make a living by digging coal and shaking coal **** will also have their lives affected ...
After thinking about it, Marin decided to send all the more than 100 miners and briquettes workers at the Hoffman Estate Coal Mine to the North Sydney Coal Mine on Cape Breton Island, where they would re-coal and supply a new salt cooking center.
Speaking of which, at this time in the Hoffman Estate Coal Mine, those coal-shaking serf-workers used coal-shaking balls. In fact, in Europe at this time, it was also regarded as the "advanced technology" of the times ...
Yes, you read that right, in this era of Europe, shaking coal **** can indeed be regarded as advanced technology. Because, in this European era, although coal has also begun to be used, it is still at the stage of using coal. As for pulverized coal, it is mostly discarded, or, when burning coal, sprinkle a little to support combustion.
The reason is that there is no gap between coal powder to contain air. Coal burning requires air. Therefore, because of the large gap between coal blocks, it is easier to burn. Coal powder is not easy to burn ...
Therefore, at this time in Europe, coal is mainly used, and most of the coal powder is lost, which is very wasteful ...
But at this time in China, the technology of shaking coal **** has appeared. Add a small amount of yellow mud and water to the powdered coal powder, then shake it into a spherical shape, and then dry it, which becomes a coal ball ...
When the briquettes are piled together and burned, the gap between the **** is naturally large, the air is sufficient, and the natural burning is better, which is better than the coal. Therefore, the shaky ball technology, although inconspicuous, is also an important insight in human history.
Huaxia people applied coal earlier, and Huaxia coal is also widely distributed, and the research on coal is naturally ahead of Europe. In the early days, the Huaxia people first made coal powder into briquettes, imitating the appearance of coal lumps. However, later, they now found that pulverizing coal powder into a spherical shape seems to have a better combustion effect ... Then, coal **** appeared, and they were still used until the 21st century ...
Of course, in the 3o of the 20th century, the rise of more advanced honeycomb coal replaced most of the market share of briquettes and became a very popular presence in the 21st century.
However, honeycomb coal also has limitations. That is, although honeycomb coal is easy to use, it is only suitable for household cooking with water. To burn a large furnace, you have to rely on coal lumps and briquettes ... Of course, if there is a blower, you can also burn coal powder directly ... When the coal powder is blown by the blower, the combustion effect is much stronger than that of coal lumps and briquettes ... …
Therefore, Marin realized at this time that the dirty ball shaking technology of the Hoffman Estate Coal Mine was actually the most advanced coal application technology in Europe ...
Fortunately, the briquette workers at Hoffman Estates were all serfs who had signed a death contract. Otherwise, this "advanced technology" has long been known to other coal mines in the Ruhr area.
If this "advanced technology" is mastered, then other coal mines in the Ruhr area must not directly double their profits? Because, more than half of the coal powder finally has its place ...
Of course, Marin will not give them this opportunity. While ordering the establishment of the Cape Breton Island paper mill, Marin also ordered the old Hoffman ’s consent and ordered the coal miners and coal ball workers of the Hoffman Estate to all take the boat and drag the family to take the mouth and go to Live and work on Cape Breton Island ...
At present, the coal mine of Hoffman Estates is managed by Schwarz's father Quinni Lange. Since Marin won the East Frisian Lambert, the Hoffman family members left the Hoffman Estate and all moved to East Frisian Lambert. Only the old Quincy looking at the gate and the Quinny Lange in charge of the coal mine are left behind at the Hoffman Estate.
However, because of the need to take away all the miners and briquette workers and their families from the Hoffman Estate Coal Mine, Quinni Lange will naturally also follow along.
Marin intends that the North Sydney coal mine on Cape Breton Island will also be handed over to Quinni Lange. Because, Schwarz's father Quinni Lange, also counted in a noble family, literacy, calculation, and accounting. Coupled with seven or eight years of coal mine management experience, it is his best to hand over the new coal mine. Moreover, there are not many people who can read literacy under Marin. It is difficult to find someone to replace old Langer ...
Before leaving, Quinni Lange suddenly found Marin, asking Marlin one thing:
"Sir, I beg you, help Schwartz!"
Looking at the sad old Lange, Marin was surprised:
"What happened to Schwartz?"
"It's nothing, just that he is 29 years old and he hasn't gotten married ... I'm worried ..."
Marin suddenly felt, but what he thought was old Lange, you don't know the future generations, so many people have passed the thirties, have run around, and have not married. For example, if someone who is a waste wood writer, "Tai Shang Lao Niu", has no ability to marry his wife, there are many men or women who have the ability to get married. Sister Ling is 43, almost menopause, not married yet ... Schwartz has not reached 3o, anxious ...
However, he certainly can't tell Quinni Lange that way. It is estimated that if it is said, it will make the old man stunned, and maybe he will be mad directly. So Marin assured Quinni Lange:
"Relax, I must find Schwartz a good lady noble wife!"
Then, Quinni Lange walked on the road with relief ... went to America ...
In fact, Schwartz hasn't gotten married yet, simply because of high vision. With so many Italian beauties, Danish girls, and Mao girls, Schwartz stunned. It's not that these girls don't look good enough ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ but Schwartz looks at other people's origins ... not from the nobility, Schwartz can't look down on ... this point Kahn and he form a distinctive In contrast, Kahn saw a beautiful Italian village girl, and ran directly with two big breasts, and Schwartz was reserved, and naturally continued to be single ... But people also have reserved capital, after all, Schwa Ci is now the first general under Marin's command, and belongs to the diamond king ...
However, this time I won the Principality of Oldenburg and the Principality of Schleswig. It seems that there are many noble families. Should I choose a noble girl who meets Schwartz's requirements? Of course, this nobility must not be against the nobles of Marin. Otherwise, if Schwartz marries an anti-thief's daughter, he will be in a dilemma ...
Therefore, after watching the departure of the old Lange by boat, Marin decided to wait for Schwartz to return from Italy, and then held a court ball to invite those who had submitted to the Principality of Oldenburg and the Principality of Schleswig. The nobles, let them bring their unmarried daughters, and let Schwartz and several other officers from the knighthood family who are dedicated to marrying the noble girls choose their own noble girls. Of course, as the No. 1 general, Schwartz has the right to mate ... ah! It's the right to choose ...
