Chapter 1841 Suzhou Weavers Uprising

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The seventh day of winter in the eighteenth year of Wanli is the first seventh day of Hai Rui's calendar.

    On this day, the streets and streets of all the prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River were empty, and tens of millions of people, regardless of rank, gathered together on both sides of the Huangpu River, Wusong River, Loujiang River, Baimao River, Wangyu River, and Taipu River to pay their respects.

    These six rivers are exactly the Taihu Lake flood discharge system built with the assistance of Jiangnan Group when Hai Rui was the governor of Yingtian.

    It is precisely with these six flood discharge channels that the situation of Taihu Lake flooding Jiangnan every year has come to an end.  The people in the south of the Yangtze River can also enjoy the convenience of irrigation and shipping, so 'the people of Wu are always grateful for good harvests and endless benefits'!

    And without Hai Rui designating the Huangpu River as the main flood discharge channel, Shanghai would not be what it is today.  Oriental Pearl Pudong New Area is still a mess!

    Especially in recent years, floods in the south of the Yangtze River have been serious, but the flood discharge system built by Hai Rui 20 years ago has still withstood the test, saving people from floods and allowing them to have good harvests every year

    If you don't forget to dig wells, the people of Jiangnan naturally can't forget Hai Qingtian.  The incense burners set up by the weepers stretched for hundreds of miles, and the paper money they threw dyed the broad rivers white!

    The Zhanzhan River is full of water and has maples on it.  My eyes are thousands of miles away, which hurts my heart.  The soul returns, mourning Jiangnan!

    At the end of the memorial service, I don¡¯t know where it started. Someone sang the song that was published with the obituary.  The song was sonorous and catchy, and people quickly learned it.

    So the chorus of tens of millions of people rang out in the sky above Jiangnan, and the sound shook the world!

    ¡®Arise, you hungry and cold slave!  Rise up, you suffering people of China!

    The blood in my heart is already boiling, let¡¯s fight for the final battle!

    The old world has beaten him to pieces, slaves, get up!

    Don¡¯t say that we are worthless, we want to be the masters of the world!  ¡¯

    There is no blue sky in the world. From now on, we can only rely on ourselves!

    ¡°There has never been a savior, nor a fairy emperor.

    To create our happiness, it¡¯s all up to us!

    We must take back the fruits of our labor and let our thoughts break out of the cage.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Only by striking while the iron is hot can we succeed!  ¡¯

    Still not sure who took the lead, the people in white turbans and white clothes marched toward Suzhou City in a mighty manner, singing the "Song of Uprising" loudly.

    After paying homage to the deceased, it¡¯s time to take revenge on the murderer!  Although Emperor Wanli was far away in the capital, the imperial eunuchs he sent were still on the way.  But there have always been eunuchs in Suzhou City¡ª¡ª

    The palace has weaving bureaus in Nanjing, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and weaving eunuchs are in charge!

    And Suzhou is the center of the Ming Dynasty silk weaving industry, and the weaving eunuchs here have the highest status, and they are also in charge of the weaving bureau in Hangzhou.

    Therefore, the "Suhang weaving eunuch" was regarded by the palace as one of the best in the world.  People at that time said, "There are also edicts on guarding and guarding, and the rank is judged by the pen, but the ease, respect and wealth are better than it."  ¡¯ It means that the weaving eunuchs in Suhang were imperial envoys, and their status was equivalent to that of the eunuchs Bingbi, but they had more money and fewer things to do, and they were pampered.

    Therefore, if you want to get this position, you have to spend a lot of money.  Today's weaving eunuch Sun Long had to borrow a total of 500,000 taels of silver at usury to get this job.

    As a result, the debt was paid off within two years, and "hundreds of thousands of gold" were spent to decorate the West Lake, rebuild or newly build Lingyin Temple, Huxin Pavilion, Jingci Temple, Yanxia Cave, Longjing, Pianyunting, Sanmao Temple,  Temples, monuments, and embankments such as Shijin Pond are known as the "Masters of Merit of the West Lake".

    Where did the meritorious master¡¯s funds come from?  Of course, it was the Weaving Bureau that gained the people's wealth.

    Especially after the fifteenth year of Wanli, the royal family began to ask for excessive amounts of money.  In order to please Wanli and strive to stay in office, Sun Long desperately stepped up his search efforts.

    He forcibly stipulated that every weaver's machine should be taxed at three cents for each machine; each piece of satin should be taxed at five cents; and each piece of yarn should be taxed at two cents. This tax rate may not seem high, but in fact it is  When a piece of satin or yarn is shipped out of Suzhou, the merchants must pay high taxes, and the weavers are repeatedly taxed.

    ¡° Moreover, the Weaving Bureau was originally responsible for silk fabrics such as silk and satin. In order to expand the scope of his search, Sun Long also reached out to the cotton spinning industry.  Although the tax collected per piece of cloth per spinning wheel is only half that of the silk weaving industry, the scale of the cotton spinning industry is ten times that of the silk weaving industry!

    Otherwise, where does he come from? What West Lake merit?

    ??~~

    It should also be mentioned here that although the cotton spinning and silk weaving industries in Jiangnan are both under the leadership of Jiangnan Textile Group.  However, 'Jiangnan Textile' adopts different management methods for these two industries based on actual conditions.

    Because the production of cotton textile industry is relatively less refined, it is suitable for large-scale production by machines, and it has sufficient raw materials and a broader market space.  Therefore, it was produced in the form of large cotton spinning mills.

    &nbsWhat to say?  !  "

    This is the next step planned yesterday. In fact, it is to force the Suzhou prefect to hand over the name certificate

    When everyone heard it, they all thought it was a great kindness.  Following the banana fan, Sun Long was escorted, and the bodies of the gelding and lackeys were carried, and they left the Zhizao Mansion Yamen through the main entrance in a mighty manner.

    People all over the street cheered and spat at Sun Long.

    The men who captured Sun Long also followed far behind.

    The leader is called Li Jiaqi, who was Mi Wa from the Li Hua family back then.

    He, Xu Guangqi and Wang Heng are classmates at Yufeng School.  Miwa is very clever, but she can't sit still and is not a scholar.

    However, Zhao Hao took a fancy to his origin and character, and still accepted him as his disciple, saying that he would teach him the 'skill of slaying dragons'.

    After that, the poor baby disappeared from people¡¯s sight.

    When she reappeared more than ten years later, Miwa was already weather-beaten and had suffered all kinds of suffering in the world.  I don¡¯t know what¡¯s so special about this ¡®Dragon Slaying Technique¡¯, but I have to pay such a high price to learn it

    Fortunately, what he learned was finally put to use.

    This Suzhou weavers¡¯ uprising was planned by him!

    The purpose is of course to help the workers and peasants get the results they deserve

    ps. Don¡¯t say I¡¯m exaggerating.  Go and see the Suzhou weavers' riot led by Ge Xian. They are so civilized not to mention that they are now supported by the Jiangnan Group.
