Chapter 1549: Technology "share"

In fact, Marin's method is not what he came up with, but learned from future generations. In the mid-19th century, European and American countries abolished slavery. Then, the plantation owners who were sitting on the plantation and the black slave were dumbfounded. Because the black slaves used to say nothing about farming for them. Or, even if he is willing to help farming, it will be fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.

After the suppression of the leather whip, the old men's indulgent nature was exposed. As long as they earn a little money, they will disappear, go to the city to hide, eat and drink. Then, after the money was spent, he was forced to find work. As for the farmer's anger? About them? Anyway, they didn't have the courage to whip those old blacks again.

If the black hired workers come and go as soon as they want, if they happen during the spring cultivation or autumn harvest period, they can spit the farmer in a hurry. In desperation, many plantation owners at that time learned the experience of Southeast Asian plantations and began to abduct honest and capable Chinese workers to help them work. It ’s called Employment, but in fact, Chinese workers will be strictly guarded when they reach the ground, and there is no difference between treatment and slaves. However, because they signed an employment contract, they were indeed allowed to leave in the beginning of the year, which also made the enthusiasts who opposed the slave trade no excuse for opposition. Of course, if you are hired into a mine, there are very few who can survive after the employment expires.

As it happens, Marin has been working to suppress Maozi and prevent Maozi from rising. Therefore, this lack of virtue is just used on Mao Zi.

, Let them inquire about the feasibility. As a result, the pigeons on the other side of the Venice branch brought back the news the next day-several merchants in Venice were willing to undertake this business. But the requirement is that each Maozi draws 5 gold coins ...

In this way, if 20,000 Maozi, the Fugel family will have to pay an extra 100,000 gold coins. However, for the wealthy Fugel family, it is really nothing. In this era, the Venetians have not fallen out with Turkey. They and the Genoese merchants are the only two forces with the right to pass through the Turkish Strait. Even Marin sent a boat to transport Mao Mei, flying the flag of Venice to gain the privilege of passing the Turkish Strait. But the Fugger family has no fleet and can only choose to be killed by this knife.

Fortunately, the development of the Tyrol silver mine is very profitable. Moreover, a Maozi, even if you give the Venetian 5 more gold coins, there are only a dozen gold coins, which is extremely cheap. Very strong, only one more than 20 gold coins. 20,000 Maozi slaves are hundreds of thousands of gold coins. For the Fugger family, which owns millions of properties, it is not worth mentioning. Not to mention, simply disposing of those small copper mines will allow the Fugger family to withdraw one or two million gold coins. It was drizzle to spend hundreds of thousands of mining slaves.

, Marin suddenly proposed a condition ...

"What? Do you want to invest in technology? Master Malin, this requirement ... is a bit difficult for a strongman ..."

If it is a copper mine, However, the Tirol Silver Mine is a famous large-scale silver-rich mine in Europe. Why should it distribute profits to Marin?

Marin smiled and explained:

"Earl Jacob, let me explain first. My so-called 'shareholding' is not about wanting to split the shares in the silver mine, but to get the priority purchase rights for the silver produced by the silver mine. You know, now all There is a shortage of money in Europe, and anyone who can get silver will take the initiative. "

:

"It turns out that ... but I won't give you too many discounts. After all, this is silver, real gold and silver! The value is too high, I will give you the lower price in the market price at most, not lower than the market low price!"

Malin immediately agreed:

"I understand that I will not let you lose money. And, I will probably only purchase silver from your precious silver mine for 30 years. After 30 years, I can almost control and mine the big silver mine in Japan!"

He knows that in 30 years, the Tyrolean silver mine will usher in a strong competitor. Therefore, he must explode the production capacity of the Tyrolean silver mine as much as possible within 30 years to obtain sufficient benefits in advance.

You know, gold and silver are naturally currencies. Once mined and smelted, it can be directly used as money. For the Fugger family, which is dominated by the banking industry, the more silver mines mined, the more the principal of the bank can be used for lending.

In this era, the lowest lending interest rate is also 10% per annum, and 20% or even 30% of high-interest loans abound. To get these silvers, and then to make loans, is the way for the Fugel family to get rich.

—— Marin purchases silver in the Tyrolean silver mine, the proportion of which shall not exceed half. After all, the Fugger family also expects to use that money to lend.

Marin will naturally not object. Even for Marin, purchasing a large amount of silver from the Tyrolean silver mine is nothing more than his concealment. After all, he must send troops to exterminate the Aztec empire in Mexico within 20 years. At that time, he will have a large number of gold and silver from unknown sources. If there is no way to explain the source, it will definitely arouse suspicion in European countries. The silver priority purchase contract with the Fugel family is a very good cover. By purchasing a large amount of silver produced by the Tyrolean silver mine, he can take the opportunity to successfully wash the gold and silver stolen from Mexico and even the Inca Empire ...

As for the technology he intends to use to "share" ...

"Master Marin, what is the silver mining and smelting technology you used to" share "? Can the efficiency be greatly improved?"

Marin nodded confidently:

"Of course, that is a must!"

The technologies that Marin will provide to the Fugger family are mainly blast furnaces, railcars, and high-manganese steel mills for grinding.

Railcars are not advanced technology. In fact, in the mid-16th century, simple railcars appeared in Europe. It's just that it's a simple wooden track. In the 17th century, the Newcastle Coal Mine in the United Kingdom also appeared horse-drawn railcars, which became the prototype of the railway.

Marin intends to provide the railroad track with sleepers and a hand-pushing mine cart with tipping bucket directly to the Fugel family in one step to facilitate the transportation of ore.

As for the high-manganese steel mill, there is nothing to say about this. Marin made a mixture of pyrolusite and iron ore to produce high manganese steel with excellent wear resistance. It is better to make steel mills with high manganese steel to grind ore. At least, it is much better than the current grinding equipment ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ is also durable because of wear resistance. After all, the abrasive tools of this era, used to grind metal ores, wear out very quickly.

...

The blast furnace, although the structure of Marin's blast furnace is similar, but the quality is far inferior to that of later generations. The biggest problem is that there are no common blowers in later generations. If you use an ordinary bellows, it will not be much advanced compared with the smelting furnaces of the current era.

Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of the blast, Marin personally took the horse and "invented" the fan with the help of Da Vinci and other bigwigs. But Marin had no electricity and did not want to expose the steam engine. Therefore, he adopted a compromise method-the method of using the high-level reservoir to impact the blades, driving the fan to rotate continuously for a long time, providing sufficient wind power for the blast furnace.

This requires blocking the river and building a dam. Then, get one or several turbines under the dam. Then the water turbine drives the fan to rotate continuously through the transmission belt.

After testing, the fan driven by this kind of turbine driven by Marin provides more wind power than the hand-held wind box or water exhaust box of this era. After all, the speed of the water turbine driven by the water falling from a height is much faster than the ordinary water exhaust box. The water exhaust box relies on the general flowing river water to drive the wind direction. The speed and the speed of the high-level reservoir's falling water impacting the turbine are not at the same level. Moreover, the Tyrolean silver mine is located in the foothills of the Alps, and it is easy to find a small river to build a reservoir. You can even find ready-made waterfalls ...

The faster the speed, the greater the wind force. The higher the wind force, the higher the efficiency of the blast furnace and the faster the smelting speed. Three-pronged approach, Marin does not believe that it can bring a huge efficiency increase to the Tyrol silver mine ...
