Chapter 1662: Goslar Silver Mine

Albert also wrote a report on the wine trade with the Indians, sent the Clippers through the North Atlantic warm current, quickly returned to the homeland, and sent it to Marin for approval.

Marin quickly approved Albert's report and gave a strong affirmation. Right now, in order to avoid wasting food, the Beihai nation has used the expired old grain to make wine. However, there are too many old grains, and the quantity of wine brewed far exceeds the market demand. Today, Marin is worried about the sale of wine.

In order not to waste wine, Marin purified a lot of surplus liquor into classic spirits at around 56 degrees, then sealed it with jar mud and buried it underground. This kind of spirit above 53 degrees is the most resistant to preservation. As long as it is left for a long time, it will be a top-notch good wine in a few decades. The Erguotou buried in the ground by Marin seems to be a bit more-more than 100,000 altars ...

There is no way, there are too many remaining wines, so they have to be processed into spirits and buried. Anyway, the spirits are durable, and the longer they taste, the better.

However, if there is a market, Marin does not want to bury all the wine underground. Hearing that Indians like to drink alcohol, Marin immediately came to spirit.

Marin is very clear about how many Indians there are. There are not many Shawnee people in Pennsylvania, that is, thousands. There are also few Canadian Indians near Cape Breton Island, and the market is actually not large.

But there are so many Indians in Mexico and Peru! The Indians over there are counted in tens of millions. If you sell the drinks ...

Well, nothing else, it is not a problem to exchange gold and silver with the Aztec Empire and the Inca Empire.

Today, the craftsmen Marin sent to Aztec have successfully helped the Aztec empire find several large silver mines and establish a mature silver smelting base. Within a few years, the Aztec empire would produce silver. At that time, Marin could take the wine and exchange silver with the Aztecs in Mexico to solve the money shortage.

In addition, the old Yin Yin Bi Marin, who had lost her conscience, also planned to use the liquor trade to provoke the Indians to fight inside, allowing the Indians to attack each other and consume their strength.

The specific method is very simple-exchange wine with Indian children ...

This trade of populations who have lost their conscience in later generations is very normal in this era. For example, in the Songhai Empire in West Africa, the slave trade was one of the country ’s main sources of finance.

The Indians in North America did not seem to have entered the era of slavery, so the slave trade was not popular.

But it doesn't matter, the lack of virtue of Marin will make them up. Marin intends to exchange Indian children with spirits and the Indian drunkards.

Of course, Marin will not be brutal enough to ask the Indians to betray their children. However, he would suggest that the Indian drunks-you go to other tribes to grab! A sturdy Indian boy, for a medium alcohol, and a girl for a half altar ... As for the **** skin, the price is much lower ...

In this way, there will always be tempted by alcoholic Indians. As long as they start with other tribes, it will inevitably cause fierce conflict among the Indian tribes.

Moreover, children are the future of the tribe. Once the children of the tribe are taken away by other tribes, it is equal to breaking the hope of this tribe.

Although the tribes were not directly slaughtered, the children were robbed. Twenty years later, those tribes without a new generation of Zhuangding will inevitably decline or even die ...

After those boys and girls were bought by Marin's colonists, the strongest group of boys will use the Mamluk cavalry training method to conduct brutal training to become the bravest soldiers as the North Sea army Assault power. The girls, if they look good, are sold to the rich colonists as maids. Moreover, Marin will acquiesce to the Germans who bought maids, take those Indian girls as lovers, and have children with them to increase the population of the colony. Marin will not give up these unnamed hybrids, but will instead grant land to help develop the colony.

In this way, through the temptation of wine, the Indian tribes will become enemies by plundering each other's population, and they will cut off each other's inheritance and hope. Moreover, because of the enmity, it was difficult for these Indian tribes to form a unified tribal alliance like the Iroquois alliance against colonial rule.

...

"I seem to be more and more like an Englishman in future generations ..." Marin said without a word. This method of **** sticks was what the later British guys were best at.

First provoke the infighting of the target, and then take advantage of the fishermen ... plus the children who plundered the Indians, cut off the inheritance of those tribes ... Proper British means of **** sticks, and, because the future of those tribes is cut off, looks More insidious than British means ...

As for the Indian children who exchanged for liquor, Marin would let Taylor's apprentices and grandchildren give them brainwashing education from an early age. When they grow up, they will become banana people with yellow skin and white hearts, and be born or die for the Beihai Kingdom, or become the leading party ...

Speaking of banana people, Marin suddenly became very uncomfortable. But now he has a yellow heart, but he changed his body, what is this? Poached eggs? Well, the poached eggs are indeed yellow-hearted ...

...

Then, Marin decided to go out and relax, in the name of inspection work, go out and relax ...

In this way, Marin came to Goslar, the city of miners, to inspect the Rammelsberg silver mine near Goslar.

At this time, the autumn harvest in the southern region had long ended, and 57,800 Hungarian soldiers also returned to the Rammelsberg silver mine and became miners of the silver mine again.

The Rammelsberg Silver Mine began to be mined in 968. Over 500 years later, the surface mine has been mined. Now, the silver mine has gone deep underground, relying on tortuous mines for underground mining.

Fortunately, this is not a coal mine, and there is no danger of gas explosions, so I am not afraid of using torches in underground mines. But in this era of underground mining, the biggest problem is the problem of water accumulation.

Just like the Tala lead-zinc mine on the Irish island that Marin had originally sought, the underground water was too difficult to deal with, which led to the abandonment of mining.

But now, Da Vinci has built the Watt steam engine. Although it is unwieldy, it is no problem to use it to pump water into the mine. Prior to this, local silver mining required manual pumping of water from the mine shaft before further mining.

The production efficiency of the Rammelsberg Silver Mine has been greatly improved after the steam engine has pumped water. Without the trouble of standing water, the mining efficiency has been greatly improved.

And ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ In order to ensure the safety of the miners, Marin also made a lot of load-bearing frames with solid logs for his men, and installed them in the mine tunnel to avoid the collapse of the mine tunnel and death. In this way, the safety of the Rammelsberg silver mine has been greatly improved. The general application of guide rails and mining carts has greatly improved the transportation efficiency of silver ore.

In addition, under the guidance of Marin, the blast furnace at the Rammelsberg Silver Mine has also been improved, greatly improving efficiency.

What improvements did Marin make the craftsmen make to the blast furnace? In fact, it is very simple, that is, the ordinary blast furnace is converted into a hot blast furnace. The craftsmen, as Marin instructed, made a long pipe made of metal before the air inlet. The pipe is curved to increase the contact area with the flame.

Then, when the blast furnace is working, a fire is heated under the air inlet. When the blast equipment blows the air into the furnace from the air inlet, the air is already heated. The air blown into the furnace is hot air, so there is no need to waste the furnace fire to heat the air ...

In this way, the efficiency of the blast furnace has also been greatly improved, greatly increasing the production speed. In just a few months, the silver output of the Rammelsberg Silver Mine in Goslar has increased from less than 1,000 pounds of silver per month to more than 5000 pounds of silver per month ... this is not yet incidental Processed lead, zinc, tin, copper and a small amount of gold ...
