Developments in the field of industry were splashed from Britain to the outside countries. Since the beginning of the 18th century, France has followed the technical developments in the UK with interest and sent a young industrialist Gabriel Jars (1732-1769) to the past of the Manş.
Jars ' mission was to examine the new methods applied in mining enterprises. The French, who learned English capitalism, had the enthusiasm to have a say in the country's economic life and to achieve more initiative. The Loncads ' desperate resistance and prejudices of the nobles had lost their former power now. Among the shareholders of the Anzin Mines (1757) from the first companies to share stocks, there were other Croy, Charost and Choulnes Dukes in the bourgeoisie. Finance Minister Turgot also supported special initiatives. New forms of loan, the Paris Stock Exchange and 1757 ′ First French naval transport Insurance company in the establishment, the proliferation of factories became the front foot.
The work of the Department of Labour in the factories is gradually settling, the mass production was increasing. Meanwhile, in 1777, the first "Jenny" in Rouen has entered the operation, and we do not pass the signal. In all the countries of Europe, the basic industry was still clothing and artillery. More precisely, they were the kings who prioritized these industries. Therefore, the first technical schools were established (the first was 1745 ′ in Brunswick (Germany) and mining engineers began to be cultivated. For the same reason, scientists have heard the necessity to lean towards this technique. The importance of these areas was due to the fact that the mining industry came mainly in the production of weapons and the weaving industry was both dressed in the army and gaining gains in foreign markets.
Britain has paid dearly for being the first country to develop these industries. The high furnaces used to separate the iron from the mineral ore were swallowing gluttony wood, on the other hand, the high gain provided by the wool industry led the landowners to pasture their crops to feed their livestock. They weren't even afraid to cut the forests. The rest of the forests were swallowed by the mining industry. He was in the places of the whole Dean forest. If he goes like this, he won't even be able to throw a twig in those greedy mouths. Did Britain have to bring iron from Sweden as a result of its own mines?
Here at 1625, a young man named Dudley was asking himself that question. In Birmingham, the head of a factory belonging to his father, the surrounding forests, was seen as the production fell. In this case, it was necessary to find another flammable substance from the wood. Could that have been charcoal? Since he had no roles until that day, we had almost never mentioned the coal mine. The people of antiquity used very little of mine coal; Because they had slaves to warm their homes, and to get a lot of wood and mechanical power. Only the Chinese used coal to cook porcelain, especially. In short, it didn't occur to anyone to take advantage of the coal mines unless it was mandatory. Starting from the 12th century, concerns about the wood have begun. Warming, homemade, vessels and machinery were similar to the roots of the forests; Then the fuel problem came mainly in industrial areas such as Belgium, England, Ruhr. But how did people even think about the "black stone" that they've been underestimating all this time?
Rumor has it, we owe the coal to a Belgian blacksmith named Houillos. Man (in 1197) one day when he was sitting at the beginning of the extinguished furnace and thought of black land, a dark-haired, bearded old man, who saw the blacksmith so desperate to see it, "My friend," he said, "Go to the neighboring mountain, dig the ground, iron You'll find a black ground vein to beat. " The one who heard that, Houillos ran, did what the old man said. After that, the stove is burnt and the vaccine is cooked. Houillos did not hesitate to reveal his secret to others--so they named this black Stone "Houil" in French. These are the facts of the truth, do not obey, it is certain: the Belgian coal mines have been operated since 1224. Britain in 1239 in Newcastle, France in 1320 ′ Rochela-Moliere, Germany in 1429, the Ruhr began to operate coal mines.
Unfortunately, the coal extracted from these deposits was low, and it was a demonic essence due to the smell of sulfur, which caused some illnesses, causing harm to the ladies ' skin, contaminating the laundry, etc... It was believed. So, until 1340, however, a rare number of people dared to use it.
