While preparing for the paper mill on Cape Breton Island, Marin simply solved the problem of relocating the boiling salt base. At present, Marin has two other salt boiling bases, www.biquge.info Salt City Salt Boiling Base on Texel Island and the New Salt City Salt Boiling Base on Baltrum Island.

Among them, Yancheng, the old boiling salt center of the island of Texel, relies on briquettes (balls made of pulverized coal mixed with yellow mud) brought from the Hoffmann estate near Bochum as fuel. Therefore, it is more dependent on briquettes transported from the coal mines of the Hoffmann estate on the Ruhr via the Rhine.

New Salt City on Baltrum relies on coal imported across the sea from Newcastle coal in England. In terms of cost, the briquettes imported from Hoffmann Manor are sold at a family price of only 1.5 shillings per chartlon (about 1.5 to 1.7 tons of coal), and the total cost is 2 shillings per chartron. But the price of coal imported from Newcastle, England, is as high as 4 shillings per Chartron.

If you calculate the cost alone, 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, whether it is the coal that Xinyancheng uses at the family price of its own coal mine, or the coal imported from Newcastle, England, the profit of boiling salt is extremely high. In particular, Marin also uses a firewood-saving stove in the salt boiling base, which is more efficient in boiling salt.

If you consider the cost alone, it is natural that Texel Island has an advantage. But if you consider secrecy, it is Baltrum Island that has an absolute advantage......

Because, the island of Baltrum is on the seashore of the East Friesian Lamber. And it's a remote place. Previously, because a little east was the Jävre area, there was a risk of leaks. But now that Yevr is also under Marin's control, Marin can easily set up a forbidden area near Baltrum Island, prohibiting people from approaching at will. Moreover, after returning from Denmark, near Baltrum Island, Marin also arranged several 250-class warships to patrol constantly to ensure that there was no enemy invasion.

In this way, the new salt city, the base of boiling salt on Baltrum Island, has a high level of security......

However, the earliest center of salt-boiling, the old salt town on the island of Texel, was often watched by Dutch fishermen because it was too close to the Dutch region on the mainland. If it weren't for the tall wall built in the salt boiling center, maybe the secret of boiling salt in the old salt city would have been leaked out long ago.

In fact, there are currently a lot of people interested in Old Yancheng. Coupled with the last incident in the Duchy of Guedes, the failure of the coal carrier to be seized made Marin feel more and more that it was too unsafe to boil salt on the island of Texel......

After all, the island of Texel is only a few kilometers away from the Dutch part of continental Europe. Moreover, the Mars waterway in the south of the island of Texel is also an important route for merchant ships to enter and exit Amsterdam, which is too crowded.

Although the old salt city was built with a tall wall, it blocked the sight of outsiders. However, the black smoke emitted from the large number of provincial firewood stoves boiling salt every day is indeed eye-catching. If it weren't for Marin's ban on outsiders from setting foot on Texel Island, except for the accident in the port of Thorencher, Old Salt City would have been secretly discovered long ago. Even, the garrison on the island, mainly the guards of Old Salt City, has so far killed a total of 32 foreign snoopers, and has also caused some diplomatic disputes......

Therefore, after thinking about it, Marin finally made a decision to relocate the personnel and equipment of the old salt city on Texel Island to Cape Breton Island as a whole......

In this way, those peepers will have no way to find out Marin's secrets. Who can figure it all out when Marin then asks the salt-boiling workers to cook the salt on Cape Breton Island, far away in the Americas, and ship it back to Europe?

Anyway, in this war against Denmark, Marin was assigned 150 merchant ships, which was sufficient. No matter how many people or equipment, it can be easily transported to Cape Breton Island. At the same time, it is also convenient to ship the products of Cape Breton back to Europe.

However, since the salt boiling base on the island of Texel has been removed, there is no need for briquettes from the Hoffmann estate coal mine near Bochum. This was a real blow to the hundreds of miners and the serf workers who shook briquettes on Hoffmann's estate.

After all, if the Tesel Island Salt Center no longer needs them to provide briquettes, it will also affect the production of the Hoffmann Estate Coal Mine. The lives of the serfs who make a living by digging coal and shaking briquettes will also be affected......

After thinking about it, Marin decided to send all the more than 100 miners and briquette-shaking workers of the Hoffman Manor Coal Mine to the North Sydney Coal Mine on Cape Breton Island, where they would dig coal again and supply a new salt boiling center.

Speaking of which, at this time, in the Hoffmann Manor coal mine, the briquettes were shaken by the serf workers who shook the briquettes, in fact, in Europe at this time, they were also considered "advanced technology" beyond the times......

Yes, you read that right, briquettes can indeed be regarded as advanced technology in Europe in this era. Because, in this era in Europe, although coal has also begun to be used, it is still in the stage of coal use. As for pulverized coal, most of it is discarded, or, when burning coal, sprinkled a little to support combustion.

The reason for this is that there is no gap between the pulverized coal to contain air. Coal burning, on the other hand, requires air. Therefore, it is easier to burn between the lumps of coal because of the large voids. Pulverized coal, on the other hand, is not easy to burn......

Therefore, at this time, Europe mainly used coal, and most of the pulverized coal was lost, which was very wasteful......

But at this time in Huaxia, there has been a technology of shaking briquettes, adding a small amount of yellow mud and water to powdered pulverized coal, and then shaking it into a round ball, and then drying it, it becomes a briquette......

When the briquettes are piled up and burned together, the gap between the balls and the balls is naturally large, the air is sufficient, and the natural burning is better, which is better than the coals. Therefore, the technology of shaking briquettes, although inconspicuous, is also an important invention in human history.

The Chinese people used coal relatively early, and the distribution of coal in China is also relatively wide, and the research on coal is naturally ahead of Europe. In the early days, the Chinese people first made coal dust into briquettes to imitate the appearance of coal blocks. Later, however, they found that pulverized coal seemed to burn better by kneading it into a spherical shape...... Then, briquettes appeared, and they are still used in the 21st century......

Of course, in the 30s of the 20th century, the rise of more advanced honeycomb coal, which replaced most of the market share of briquettes, became a popular existence 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 boiling water for cooking. To burn a large stove, you have to rely on coal blocks and briquettes...... Of course, if there is a blower, it can also burn pulverized coal directly...... When the pulverized coal is blown up 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 briquette shaking technology of the Hoffmann Manor Coal Mine is actually the most advanced coal application technology in Europe......

Fortunately, the briquette-shaking workers at Hoffmann Manor were all serfs who had signed a death contract, and they were not allowed to leave the coal mine of Hoffman Manor easily. Otherwise, this "advanced technology" would have been known to other coal mines in the Ruhr area.

If this "advanced technology" is mastered, then the profits of other coal mines in the Ruhr area will not be directly doubled. Because, more than half of the pulverized coal is finally useful......

Of course, Marin won't give them this opportunity. At the same time as ordering the establishment of the Cape Breton Island Paper Mill, Marin also ordered the coal miners and briquette-shaking workers of the Hoffman estate to go to Cape Breton Island to live and work by boat, towing their families and mouths, with the consent of the elder Hoffman......

Currently, the coal mine of the Hoffmann estate is the home of Schwartz's father, Quinny. A. Lange & Söhne is responsible for the management. Since Marin took East Friesian Lamb, the members of the Hoffman family have left the Hoffmann estate and moved to East Friesian Lamber. The only people left behind to guard Hoffmann Manor were the old Quincy who watched the gate and Quinny, who was in charge of the coal mine. Lange & Söhne is two people.

However, because it was necessary to take away all the miners and briquette-shaking workers and their families from the Hoffman Manor Coal Mine. Naturally, Lange & Söhne will follow.

Marin intends that the North Sydney Coal Mine on Cape Breton Island will also be handed over to Quinney. A. Lange & Söhne is in charge. Because, Schwartz's father, Quinney. Lange, also from an aristocratic family, is literate, knows how to calculate, and can keep accounts. In addition, he has seven or eight years of experience in coal mine management, and he is in charge of the new coal mine, which is to make the best use of it. Moreover, there are not many literate people under Marin, and it is difficult to find someone to replace Old Lange......

Before leaving, Quinny. Lange suddenly found Marin and asked Marin for something:

"My beg, my lord, help Schwartz!"

Looking at the sad old Lange, Marin looked surprised:

"What happened to Schwartz?"

"It's nothing, it's just that he's 29 years old and not married...... I'm worried......"

Marin was stunned, but what he was thinking in his heart was - old Lange, don't you know that in the future, so many people are over thirty, four years old, and they are not married. Even if you don't have the ability to marry a daughter-in-law, there are many capable men or women who are not in a hurry to get married...... Sister Zhiling, who is like a fascinated person, is 43 years old, and she is about to go through menopause, isn't it that she hasn't married yet...... Schwartz hasn't reached 30 yet, so he's in a hurry......

However, of course, he can't do that with Quinny. Lange said. It is estimated that if he said it, he would make the old man dizzy, and maybe he would be angry to death. So, Marin asked Quinney. A. Lange & Söhne assures:

"Don't worry, I'll definitely find Schwartz an excellent aristocratic lady as a wife!"

Then, Quinney. Lange & Söhne went on his way with a look of relief...... Go to the Americas......

In fact, Schwartz is 29 years old and still unmarried, purely because of his high vision. There are so many Italian beauties, Danish girls, and hairy girls, Schwartz can't look down on them. It's not that these girls aren't good-looking enough, but Schwartz looks at other people's backgrounds...... Not from an aristocratic background, Schwartz doesn't look down on ...... This point Kahn is in stark contrast to him, Kahn saw the beautiful Italian village girl, and directly carried two P's big breasts and ran away, while Schwartz was reserved, so he naturally continued to be single...... But people also have reserved capital, after all, Schwartz is now the number one general under Marin, and he belongs to the fifth king of diamonds......

However, this time to take the Earl of Oldenburg and the Duchy of Schleswig, it seems that there are many aristocratic families, and it should be possible to pick a noble girl who meets Schwarz's requirements, right? Of course, this aristocracy must not be a nobility against Marin. Otherwise, if Schwartz marries the daughter of a thief, he will be in a dilemma at that time......

Therefore, after seeing the old Lange's ship depart, Marin decided, when Schwarz returned from Italy, to hold a court ball, to invite the nobles of the Earl of Oldenburg and the Duchy of Schleswig, who had submitted to him, to bring their unmarried daughters, and to let Schwarz and a few other officers from knightly families who were bent on marrying noble maidens choose the noble maidens they liked. Of course, as the number one general, Schwartz has the right of first refusal to mate...... Ahh It's a choice...... Target......
