It is easy to make a honeycomb coal stove, and it is easy to make tongs. Making honeycomb coal is also super simple, Marin asked people to use the original wooden mold, using the sand box casting method, to cast hundreds of sets of artificial honeycomb coal presses in one go, and then, the production of honeycomb coal has become extremely simple. Moreover, the amount of fast is large.

Because of the popularity of boiled broth, the honeycomb coal stove in the city of Aurich soon became popular. Even, from aristocratic families to well-off commoner families. Next, it will spread to the rest of the North Sea Country.

Moreover, Marlin is also ready to start promoting the use of honeycomb coal. So, he asked the potters to fire thousands of honeycomb coal stoves in one go, and then started the free delivery......

First of all, it was naturally to be given to the pope's father-in-law who was far away in Rome. Good things, you must consider his old man first. Marin sent a ship with hundreds of honeycomb coal stoves and a full load of honeycomb coal to be shipped to Rome. The cost of honeycomb coal is very low, but if it is transported by land, the cost will increase too much. Therefore, it is the cheapest to transport by sea and land.

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

And then, His Majesty the Emperor Maximilian I will definitely send it too. Although the Holy Roman Emperor had little real power, he was nominally the highest secular monarch in Germany, and he was still superficially respected. What's more, Maximilian I was still Marin's benefactor back then. Therefore, sending a set to the emperor is also the right thing to do.

However, it was much more difficult to send honeycomb coal stoves and honeycomb coal to Austria. After all, there are many mountain roads to get to Austria. Therefore, Marin did not ship much to the past. Otherwise, the land freight is too high.

In the future, even if His Majesty the Emperor wanted to use a honeycomb coal stove, he would have to transport it through the mountain roads in southern Germany, and the cost was not low. Therefore, the sales of honeycomb coal in Austria are not destined to be good.

The Netherlands, where His Majesty's son, Crown Prince Philip, lived, was a good place, with well-developed water transport and the ability to transport large quantities of honeycomb coal over at any time. This time, Marin also sent a batch over.

Of course, Marin didn't care about how much honeycomb coal Prince Philip could consume, but about the spending power of the Netherlands. There are many wealthy businessmen in the Netherlands, and they are all good potential consumers. For example, in the Flemish region, although the woollen industry was hit, it did not collapse. As a result, people there have much higher incomes and greater potential spending power than other places. Marin sent the honeycomb coal stove to Crown Prince Philip to set an example for the Dutch nobles and wealthy merchants to attract them to buy and use honeycomb coal.

……

And when he was sent to his new in-law, John II, Duke of Cliffor, John II's face was really broken......

He was not a fool, and as soon as the messenger sent by Marin explained the usefulness of the honeycomb coal stove, he knew that he had suffered a great loss. You know, in the northern part of the Ruhr River in the north of Marin's Max Pel country, there are many coal mines.

However, when he thought about it, it seemed that he had not looked down on those coal mines before, and those coal mines were not under his control...... Of course, he was taxed on the coal trade, and the tax rate was 2 fennigs per Chartron coal, which was not too much.

However, after all, he still had an unhappy feeling of "suffering a big loss". Because, from the introduction of the messenger, he could see that the honeycomb coal must be on fire from now on. The honeycomb coal fire will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in coal mining. Even if he doesn't have a coal mine in his hands, he can still get a large amount of tax revenue if he has taxes......

Of course, Marin is a kind person and will not let him suffer too much. No, the messenger sent by Marin immediately made a suggestion as a reparation for John II's obscurity......

The emissary proposed that the Lamarck family of John II could be the general agent for the sale of honeycomb coal in the Duchy of Cleave, the Nizhny Guedes, the Duchy of Hulich, and the Duchy of Berg under the control of the Lamarck family. Marlin would supply John II in large quantities at a low price of 3 shillings per 1,500 pieces of honeycomb coal. John II could then be sold for a high price of more than 5 shillings. In this way, John II will be able to obtain a high profit of 4% by acting as an agent for the sale of honeycomb coal, which is much more than collecting taxes or something......

Suddenly, with a huge benefit as a base, John II said nothing. On Marin's side, because the cost of digging coal is very low, making honeycomb coal is also simple, and it is not a loss. At most, a lot of benefits have been conceded.

Moreover, the sale of honeycomb coal in the vassal states does require the cooperation of these princes. Otherwise, it will be difficult to open the market. Therefore, no matter which vassal state sells honeycomb coal, it is inevitable to give profits to the local princes. At most, the interest rate ceded to the average prince was much less than that ceded to John II, Duke of Clifford......

……

With Marin's large number of concessions, John II was immediately enthusiastic about the promotion of honeycomb coal. After all, for every 1,500 pieces of honeycomb coal sold, he made a profit of 2 shillings. How could he not be pleased with such a good deed?

Marin's concession to him is also very high, equivalent to only giving him 6% of the market price wholesale. And for other princes, there must be at least 8% of the market price......

……

Just as Marin was busy promoting the honeycomb coal stove, news suddenly came from the south that a large-scale peasant uprising had broken out in the southern principality of Württemberg......

In fact, the peasant uprising in the Duchy of Württemberg was nothing new. Because, starting with the "Hussite Wars" that broke out in the early 15th century, the German region experienced many peasant uprisings. In 1476, for example, a peasant revolt broke out in Franconia. However, because of leaks, the peasant uprising of tens of thousands of people had not yet begun, and the leader "Hans the Trumpeter" was arrested. Although a large uprising of 16,000 people broke out later, because the leader was arrested in advance, the peasants were leaderless, and naturally they were broken by the nobles.

This was followed by a peasant revolt in Carinthia in 1478, Argoy in 1492, Alsace in 1493, and Speyer in 1502......

These uprisings broke out in southern Germany, and most of them were launched in the name of the "shoe club". The so-called "shoe club" is actually an organization similar to the Qing Dynasty Heaven and Earth Association.

Just last year, in 1513, a peasant uprising of several thousand people broke out in the Brischgau region.

Bleischgau is located next to the canton of Zurich in northeastern Switzerland and belongs to the Swabian Confederation. It was ruled by several lords who were attached to the Habsburgs.

Historically, the local aristocracy was unable to cope with this peasant uprising, and it was the canton of Zurich next door that sent Swiss mercenaries to help suppress it. And at this time, the state of Zurich has been occupied by the Habsburgs, and the lords of Breschgaard naturally do not need to turn to Swiss mercenaries, but directly to the Habsburgs. Then, Frenzberg sent 3,000 men to suppress the uprising. Moreover, 5000 rebellious peasants were also captured. As for the leaders, hundreds of people were hanged by the Habsburgs......

But unexpectedly, as soon as the peasant uprising in Breishgaard was suppressed, the neighboring Duchy of Württemberg in the northeast of Breishgaard also broke out in the "poor Conrad" peasant uprising.

Originally, only about 30,005,000 peasants participated in this uprising. However, due to the appearance and intervention of Marin, a large number of mountain people in the mountainous areas of the Duchy of Württemberg were recruited by Marin. As a result, the poor and extravagant Duke Ulrich of Württemberg had no choice but to distribute more of the heavy taxes to the peasants of Württemberg. Then, naturally, the oppressed peasants were dissatisfied, and this peasant uprising, which was supposed to have a maximum of 5,000 people, reached more than 8,000 people......

By the time the news arrived, 8,000 Württemberg peasants had already surrounded the city of Stuttgart......
