On the seventh day of the winter month of the 18th year of Wanli, it is the seventh day of Hai Rui.

On this day, the prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River were empty, and millions of people gathered together to celebrate the Huangpu River, Wusong River, Lou River, Baitu River, Wangyu River, and Taipu River.

These six rivers were the Taihu flood discharge system built by Hai Rui as governor Yingtian with the assistance of Jiangnan Group.

It is precisely with these six flood discharge channels that the situation of Taihu Lake flooding the south of the Yangtze River every year has come to an end. People in the south of the Yangtze River can still enjoy the convenience of irrigation and shipping, so the "year-old harvest of grain is full of prosperity, and the Wu people are always willing to benefit endlessly"!

Moreover, without Hairui demarcating the Huangpu River as the main flood discharge road, there would be no Shanghai today. The Pudong New Area of ​​the Oriental Pearl is still a muddy pond!

Especially in recent years, the flood disasters in Jiangnan have been severe, but the flood discharge system built by Hairui twenty years ago has still withstood the test, allowing the people to avoid floods and have a bumper harvest every year...

If you don’t forget to dig wells when you drink water, the people in the south of the Yangtze River will naturally not forget the sky. The incense table set up by the crying people will stretch for hundreds of miles, and the paper money thrown to dye the wide rivers white!

The water of Zhanjiang River is clear, and there are maples on it. The eyes are thousands of miles long, which hurts the spring heart. The soul returns, and saddens the south of the Yangtze River!

At the end of the memorial service, some people sang the song published with the obituary. The song was sonorous and catchy, and people quickly learned it.

So a chorus of millions of people rang over the south of the Yangtze River, shaking the world!

‘Get up, the slaves who are hungry and cold! Get up, the people who suffer in the land of China!

The blood is already boiling, and the final war is fought!

The old world beat him up and the slaves got up!

Don't say that we are worthless, we must be the masters of the world!’

There is no more sea and blue sky in the world, and from then on we can only rely on ourselves!

‘There has never been any savior, nor is it relying on the gods and emperors.

To create our happiness, it depends entirely on ourselves!

We must regain the fruits of labor and let our thoughts break through the cage.

Hurry up and burn the fire red, and strike the iron while it is hot to succeed!’

Still unknown who brought the head, the people in white towels and white clothes sang "Song of Uprising" and headed towards Suzhou City.

If you pay tribute to the deceased, you should avenge the murderer! Although Emperor Wanli was far away in the capital, the imperial eunuch sent by him was still halfway. But there were eunuchs in Suzhou City.

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

Moreover, Suzhou is the center of the Daming Silk Weaving Industry, and the weaving eunuch here also has the highest status and is also in charge of the Weaving Bureau in Hangzhou.

Therefore, the "Suzhou-Hangzhou Weaving Eunuch" was regarded as the most powerful person in the world by the palace. At that time, people said, "There were also imperial eunuchs who were guarding the pen, and were comfortable and wealthy." This means that the Suzhou-Hangzhou Weaving Eunuchs were imperial envoys, with a status of the same as the eunuchs who were bridal, but they had more money and less trouble, and they were more generous and had better living.

Therefore, if you want to get this position, you have to spend a lot of money. Now, the weaving eunuch, Sun Long, borrowed a total of 500,000 taels of usury, and got this job.

As a result, he paid off his debts in less than two years and spent hundreds of thousands of gold to build West Lake. He rebuilt or newly built temples such as Lingyin Temple, Huxin Pavilion, Jingci Temple, Yanxia Cave, Longjing, Pianyun Pavilion, Sanmao Temple, Shijintang and other temples, ancient sites and large dikes, which are called the "Medal of West Lake".

Where did the meritorious master's funds come from? Of course, it was all the weaving bureau that made people fat and cream.

Especially after the fifteenth year of Wanli, the royal family began to seek excessive demands. In order to please Wanli, Sun Long tried his best to increase his plundering efforts.

He forced the weaving households to "one piece per machine, tax three cents of silver; one piece of satin, tax five cents of silver; one piece of yarn, tax two cents of silver' - the tax rate seems not high, but in fact, when each piece of satin and yarn is transported out of Suzhou, the merchants have to pay high taxes, and then they will collect the weaving households repeatedly.

Moreover, the Weaving Bureau originally specialized in silk fabrics such as silk and satin. In order to expand the scope of plunder, Sun Long also extended his hand to the cotton spinning industry. Although the tax collected by each spinning wheel and each piece of cloth 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 did he get the money? What kind of meritorious master of West Lake?

~~

I would like to mention here that although Jiangnan’s cotton and silk weaving industries are both led by Jiangnan Textile Group, "Jiangnan Textile" adopts different management methods for these two industries based on actual conditions.

Because the cotton spinning industry is relatively not very fine in production, suitable for large-scale machine production, and has sufficient raw materials and a broader market space, it adopts the production method of a large cotton spinning mill.

This large factory with tens of thousands of people uses hydraulic spinning machines and hydraulic spinning machines developed by 06 Textile Research Institutes, which has increased the weaving efficiency by about 40 times - basically eliminating the human spinning wheels in Jiangnan. In front of the factory cloth with high quality and low price, there is no room for folk local cloth to survive.

But the silk weaving industry is different. It is difficult for the number of mulberry silkworms to rise rapidly like cotton production. Moreover, the silk weaving industry is a fine job. At present, in addition to the new silk reeling machine, the 06 Institute cannot create a usable silk weaving machine. Therefore, the group still produces raw silk to the majority of weaving households and then purchases silk for guaranteed purchase.

Although the group also organized the Weaver Association and the Weaver Association to coordinate labor-management relations and guide and supervise production, the management of the silk weaving industry is relatively loose. Weaver and weaver and weaver association are also free people.

They had already had enough of Sun Long's blackmail, "Everyone is suffering, no one can do anything." At this time, they were about to seek revenge on the emperor's lackey, and the weavers and the weavers targeted this villain!

The other people also followed into Suzhou City in a mighty manner, squeezing the bustling Guanqian Street.

The grand Weaver Bureau Office is located on Guanqian Street.

Seeing the crowd in full momentum, the little eunuch who was guarding the gate of the Weaving Bureau was so scared that he fled into the yamen and quickly closed the door.

"Smash it open!" People roared around looking for handy tools to break the door.

At this time, a magical scene appeared. Dozens of leaders of the Weaver Association held up banana fans and stopped the weaver weaver who was about to break through.

"Listen to me, since we are avenging Hai Gong! Hai Gong is absolutely unwilling to see the spirit of heaven. We smash, loot and burn, and even affect the entire Guanqian Street!" A young man named Ge Cheng, holding an iron trumpet, said loudly.

"It makes sense." Everyone nodded, and some said angrily: "Then how to take revenge and vent?!"

"We will only kill the castrated dogs and the lackeys today!" Ge Cheng whispered loudly: "Everyone should not affect the innocent! All actions are pointed at the banana fan in my hand!"

The weavers had obviously held a meeting and discussed it, so tens of thousands of people agreed in unison, and the rest did not even have a chance to object!

"Catch the back door and don't let them run away!" Ge Cheng waved his banana fan!

The weavers rushed into the eunuch's hall with screams, and indeed the eunuchs who were about to escape were blocked.

This time, the eunuchs wanted to close the door again, but the weavers tried hard to break the door latch.

The door was so loud that it was opened that it knocked several small eunuchs and Jinyiwei to the ground. The weavers rushed up with swords, guns and sticks, and died in a blink of an eye!

The weavers who were bloody were completely upset and shouted and rushed into the huge courtyard covering an area of ​​more than fifty acres.

The Suzhou gardens that "The Master of Merits of West Lake" that live in permanent residence cannot be ambiguous. Not only does they cover a vast area, they are also beautiful and beautiful in the south of the Yangtze River. Halls, pavilions, temples, gardens, ponds, and flowerbeds.

The weavers who rushed in were as if they had entered a painting and couldn't help but be stunned. Then they naturally thought about how many good things were there?

This is why Ge Cheng and others had to get vaccinated in advance. Seeing this, they quickly waved the banana fan in their hands and shouted loudly: "Catch the living people, don't touch dead people! Hai Gong is watching us in the sky!"

This tight-knot curse was a good thing, so the weavers focused again and looked everywhere to block Sun Long's party.

Any man without beard will be beaten to death. Those who have beards and who do evil on weekdays will still be unable to escape the fate of being killed by sticks...

For two full hours, the people of the uprising searched all over the Weaving Mansion, killing 62 people and capturing more than 100 people.

But after searching, he couldn't find Sun Long. After interrogating the prisoners, he found out that he had already passed the wall and fled.

People were sighing regretfully, but they were always regretful if they didn't catch the evil. Suddenly, a burst of cheers rang out from a distance, and several big men came over with a tied man.

"Brother Ge, Sun Long wants to hire our ship to escape to Hangzhou. We have brought it to you!" After the man in charge said that, the big men threw the man heavily to the ground.

It is the fat and white eunuch Sun Long!

Seeing this, Ge Cheng was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Shame, thank you for your righteousness! I don't know the name of Gao!"

"It doesn't matter what you call it, we are all ordinary working people!" The man turned around and clasped his fists at everyone and whispered loudly: "We have heard of all the righteous deeds outside, and we are all impressed! Sure enough, this is what we want to be the master of the world!"

When the hat was worn, the weaver completely dispelled the idea of ​​smashing and looting the weaver, so he rushed forward and prepared to beat Sun Long to death.

Ge Cheng and others stopped them and said, "Save him, let's send Sun Long to the prefect's office to see what my husband and ancestor said?"

This is the next step planned yesterday, and it is actually to force the Suzhou prefect to submit a letter of fame...

When everyone heard this, they felt very kind. They followed the banana fan and carried Sun Long, carrying the corpses of the eunuch and the lackeys, and left the weaving office from the main entrance.

The people on the street cheered and spit at Sun Long.

The men who captured Sun Long also followed far behind.

The one in the lead is Li Jiaqi, who was Miwa from Li Hua's family back then.

He, Xu Guangqi and Wang Heng were classmates at Yufeng School. Miwa was very clever, but she couldn't sit still, and she was not the one who did academic research.

However, Zhao Hao took a fancy to his background and character, and still accepted him as his disciple, saying that he would teach him the "dragon-slaying technique".

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

When he appeared again more than ten years later, Miwa was already suffering from the weather and suffered all the sufferings of the world. I don’t know what is extraordinary about this ‘dragon-slaying technique’, and it takes such a great price to learn it...

Fortunately, what he learned finally came into play.

This Suzhou weaver uprising was planned by him!

The purpose is of course to help the workers and peasants get the results they deserve...
Chapter completed!
