It is very simple to make honeycomb coal stoves, and it is also easy to make fire tongs. Malin made honeycomb coal by using the original wooden mold and using the sand box casting method to cast hundreds of artificial honeycomb coal presses in one breath. Then, the production of honeycomb coal became extremely simple. Moreover, the rapid and large quantity was large.

Because of the prevalence of boiling broth, the honeycomb coal stove in Orich City quickly became popular. It even spread from aristocratic families to civilian families with good families. Next, it spread to other parts of the Beihai Kingdom.

Moreover, Malin was also preparing to promote the use of honeycomb coal. So, he asked the potters to burn thousands of honeycomb coal stoves in one breath, and then started a free delivery...

First of all, we naturally have to give it to the Pope's father-in-law who is far away in Rome. Good things must be considered first. Marin specially sent a ship, loading hundreds of honeycomb coal stoves, and loading a full ship of honeycomb coal to prepare to transport it to Rome. The cost of honeycomb coal is very low, but if it is transported by land, the cost will be increased too much. Therefore, transportation by sea and land is the cheapest.

However, it is estimated that it will take a long time to transport from the Port of Emden to a port near Rome to bypass nearly half of Europe. In short, it will probably take at least last month for the Pope to use honeycomb coal.

Then, His Majesty the Emperor, Maximilian I, would definitely give it to him. Although the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire had no real power, he was nominally the highest secular monarch in Germany and had to be respected on the surface. What's more, Maximilian I was Marin's benefactor back then. Therefore, giving a set to the emperor was also a matter of course.

However, it is much more difficult to send honeycomb coal stoves and honeycomb coal to Austria. After all, there are many mountain roads to Austria. Therefore, Marin does not transport much. Otherwise, the land freight will be too high.

In the future, even if His Majesty wants to use a honeycomb coal stove, he still has to transport it through the mountain road in southern Germany, which is not low. Therefore, the sales of honeycomb coal in Austria are destined to be unhealthy.

The Netherlands where Prince Philip, the son of His Majesty, lives, is a good place. It has developed water transportation and can transport large quantities of honeycomb coal at any time. This time, Marin also sent a batch of them.

Of course, Marin did not care about how much honeycomb coal Prince Philip could consume, but cared about the consumption capacity of the Netherlands. There were many wealthy businessmen in the Netherlands, and they were all very potential consumers. For example, in the Flanders, although the wool textile industry was hit, it did not collapse. Therefore, the people there had a much higher income than other places and their potential consumption capacity was stronger. Marin sent a honeycomb coal stove to Prince Philip, which was to set an example for the Dutch nobles and wealthy businessmen to attract them to buy and use honeycomb coal.

...

When he was sent to his newly-received in-laws, John II, Duke Cliver, John II's face turned out to be broken...

He is not a fool. When the messenger sent by Marin explained the use of the honeycomb coal stove, he knew that he had suffered a great loss. You should know that there were many coal mines in the northern part of the Ruhr River in the north of the Markber Kingdom that he exchanged for Marin.

However, he thought again - it seemed that he had looked down on those coal mines before, and those coal mines were not under his control... Of course, he had to collect taxes on coal mine trade, and the tax rate was 2 Finney per Charteron coal, which was not too much.

However, he still felt unhappy after all. Because from the introduction of the messenger, he could see that the honeycomb coal would definitely be in big fire. The honeycomb coal fire would inevitably lead to a sharp increase in the amount of coal mining. Even if he did not have a coal mine, he could still get a large amount of taxes with taxes...

Of course, Marin was a kind man and would not let him suffer too much. So, the messenger sent by Marin immediately made a suggestion as a vague compensation for John II...

The envoy suggested that the Lamarck family of John II could be used as the general sales agents of the Clifford, the Lower Gedes region, the Principality of Yulich and the Principality of Berg. Marin would supply a large amount of goods to John II at a low price of 3 shillings per 1,500 pieces of honeycomb coal. Then, John II could sell it at a high price of 5 shillings or more. In this way, John II could obtain 40% of the high profits by agents of the sales of honeycomb coal, which was much more than taxes...

Suddenly, with great benefits as a foundation, John II stopped talking about anything. On Marin's side, because the cost of digging coal is very low, it is easy to make honeycomb coal, so it is not a loss. At most, it gives up a lot of benefits.

Moreover, the sales of honeycomb coal in various vassal states do require the cooperation of these princes. Otherwise, it will be difficult to open up the market. Therefore, no matter which vassal state to sell honeycomb coal, it is inevitable to give concessions to local princes. At most, the interest rate given to ordinary princes is much less than that given to John II, Duke of Cliffer...

...

With Marin's large amount of concessions as a foundation, John II immediately became enthusiastic about promoting honeycomb coal. After all, for every 1,500 honeycomb coal sold, he could make 2 shillings. How could he not be happy with such a good thing?

The concessions Marin gave him were also very high, which was equivalent to giving him only 60% of the market price to wholesale. And to other princes, the lowest price must be 80% of the market price…

...

Just as 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 Principal of Württemberg was nothing new. Because, since the "Hus War" that broke out in the early 15th century, many peasant uprisings in the German region. For example, in 1476, a peasant uprising broke out in Franken, Franknia. However, due to leaks, the peasant uprising of tens of thousands of people had not yet begun, and the leader "Hans" was arrested. Although a large uprising of 16,000 people broke out later, because the leader was arrested in advance, the peasant was naturally defeated by the nobles.

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

These uprisings broke out in southern Germany, and were mostly launched in the name of the "Shoe Club". The so-called "Shoe Club" is actually an organization similar to the Tiandi Club of the Qing Dynasty.

Just last year, in 1513, a "shoe club" peasant uprising of thousands of people broke out in the Breischgao area.

Breschgao is close to the state of Zurich in northeastern Switzerland and belongs to the Swabian League. It belongs to the rule of several lords who are dependent on the Habsburg family.

Originally, in history, the local nobles could not cope with this peasant uprising, and it was Zurich next door that dispatched Swiss mercenaries to help suppress it. In this time and space, Zurich had been occupied by the Habsburg family. Naturally, the lords of Breschgao did not need to seek help from Swiss mercenaries, but directly asked for help from the Habsburg family. Then, Frenzberg sent 3,000 people to suppress the uprising. Moreover, he captured 5,000 peasants in the uprising. As for the leader, hundreds of people were hanged by the Habsburg family...

But unexpectedly, the peasant uprising of Breschgao had just been suppressed, and the neighboring Duchy of Württemberg, northeast of Breschgao, also broke out in the "Poor Conrad" peasant uprising.

Originally, in history, there were only about 3,000 to 5,000 peasants participating in this uprising. However, due to the emergence and intervention of Marin, a large number of mountain people in the mountainous areas of the Principal of Württemberg were recruited by Marin. Therefore, Ulrich, the Duke of Württemberg, could only impose more heavy taxes on the farmers in Württemberg. Then, the oppressed peasants were naturally dissatisfied. The number of peasant uprisings, which originally participated at most 5,000 people reached more than 8,000 people...
