Chapter 608 Albert is injured
The benefits of the Fayilun copper mine are really huge. At present, the Fayilun copper mine can produce 500 kilograms of copper a day with the huge investment in Marin. Even if the copper mine cannot be excavated in winter, it can produce copper only two-thirds of the year, and the annual copper output is more than 120,000 kilograms.
Now the price of copper in Europe is very high, and 15 kilograms of copper can be exchanged for 1 kilogram of silver. Therefore, 120,000 kilograms of copper is equivalent to 8,000 kilograms of silver. If the price of 1 to 12 is 666.7 kilograms of gold, which is equivalent to 187,000 gold coins...
This amount of money may not be too big for Marin. However, for Sweden, which is in the temperate cold zone, it is simply a huge sum of money...
Most areas of Sweden are not suitable for agriculture, and even if agriculture is carried out in the southern region, the yield is not high. As for the timber, Hanseatic merchants tried hard to suppress the price, which is not very valuable (in fact, the price is not low when sold in Western Europe, but Hanseatic merchants monopolized the industry and tried hard to suppress the price). The annual output value of the Ferylón copper mine exceeded 187,000 gold coins, which inevitably attracted the covetous Swedish nobles.
As for the powerful figure of Marin, perhaps the Swedish nobles would still be afraid before. But since Marin had to give up invasion of Saxony and Brandenburg under the "forced" of the Parliament of the Shenluo Empire and "forced" to terminate military alliances with Sweden, the Swedish nobles did not care much about Marin's strength.
So what if you are strong? When facing the Imperial Parliament, you must not admit defeat? Therefore, the refugees of Swedish nobles despise Marin a little. In fact, they didn't know that Marin was just keeping a low profile.
Moreover, it is said that Malin invested huge amounts of money and introduced more equipment and workers, which will increase the daily copper output of the copper mine from 500 kilograms per day to one ton. In this way, the annual output value of the copper mine will exceed 374,000 gold coins...
This is a huge income for the poor Nordic rustic nobles. For this income, what is the point of turning against Marin? Anyway, Marin has terminated his military alliance with Sweden. Taking the copper mine is not considered to be a target of attacking his allies...
Marin, who received the news, was very angry and despised the short-sightedness of these local nobles. After the news reached Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, King Hans laughed wildly in the palace:
"Hahahaha...hahahaha... God is really on my side too! Originally, I was worried that Marin would talk and give me a knife behind my back when I attacked Sweden. Now, I am completely relieved!"
Prince Christian was also very happy:
"Father, I didn't expect that those Swedish barbarians were so short-sighted and offended Marin, the great killer god, would be seeking death!"
King Hans stopped laughing, breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Although I'm not sure if Marin will send troops to retaliate against those idiots, I'm sure that with this incident, that guy Marin will never stand on the Swedish side. After the old dog Sten Sturre died, Sweden had no smart man. It was God bless me!"
"Yes, Father, this time we can recover Sweden, which is vast. I'm so happy!" Prince Christian said with longing.
"It's hard..." King Hans sighed.
"Why?" Prince Christian was puzzled.
"The Swedes were not obeying discipline, and Denmark is now in decline, so it is too difficult to continue to rule them! Therefore, this time we can only guarantee that we can capture the places in southern Sweden where there are already many Danes. It seems not easy to want to North Sweden... Besides, there is indeed nothing to do in northern Sweden. Only places suitable for agriculture on the southern coast are valuable!"
"I see……"
...
Faced with the coveting of the Swedish territorial nobles for the Ferylun copper mine, Marin chose to remain silent, as if it had nothing to do with him. In fact, this matter was exactly what Marin thought.
I was worried that I could not find an excuse to draw a clear line with Sweden, but unexpectedly, the Swedes sent it themselves...
You should know that as a previous military alliance, although he "breaked up" with Sweden, if Denmark attacks Sweden, as a former military alliance, if the Swedes ask for a visit, Marin would be very difficult to refuse.
But now, the Swedes actually coveted the huge interests of the Faylon copper mine and wanted to embezzle half of their own profits, which was simply giving Marin an excuse. In this way, after Denmark began to attack Denmark, Marin had sufficient excuses to watch the tiger fight...
In order to encourage the Swedish nobles to seize copper mines, Marin directly acknowledged their behavior of sending people to seize copper mines, and even spared protests.
In this way, several local nobles became even more courageous...
In fact, Marin was deeply afraid of Eric Johnson, the current patriarch of the Vasa family. This guy may not have much ability, but his son Gustav I is the future Swedish king. That's fine, his great-grandson Gustav II is so awesome, known as the Nordic lion...
Of course, as Marin intervened in European history, perhaps Gustav II might not exist. However, Marin was still a little afraid of this family... Therefore, it was Marin's current plan to deal with Denmark's removal of Sweden... Marin even wanted to instigate the Danes to destroy the Vasa family. In that way, Gu Second Master would never be able to get out...
As a time traveler, Marin did not dare to guarantee that his son and grandson had his own vision and ability. Therefore, he was very afraid of Gustav II, who might be in the same era as his grandson or great-grandson.
If his grandson or great-grandson is not good, and Gu Erye will emerge as scheduled, then the North Germany that Marin has worked hard to defeat him may be cheaper. Therefore, Marin is so afraid of Sweden. Even the entire Vasa family is very afraid of this. This leads to Marin supporting Denmark now...
While on the surface, while acquiesced to the Swedish nobles' interest in the Failun copper mine, Marin secretly wrote to the Denmark King Hans - Come on, I will shout 666 to you, and never stab you in the back...
...
Just as Marin was planning Sweden, the door of his office was suddenly kicked open by Old Hoffman. Then, Marin saw Old Hoffman in full armor rushing in with anger on his face...
"What's wrong, father?" Marin was a little puzzled about the anger of old Hoffman.
Then, from behind old Hoffman, a messenger came in - it seemed that Albert's entourage Welch...
"Welch? Didn't you go to America with Albert? Why are you back?" Marin asked curiously.
"Malin, your brother was shot with a bow and arrow by the native Indians. I want you to send troops immediately, clear the tribe, and avenge your brother!" Old Hoffman roared angrily.
"What?" Marin jumped up in fear and then asked:
"Are you seriously injured? How are you doing now?"
