Chapter 376 Completely different (please vote for me!)

In original history, Ge Cheng, as a civilian, became a special symbol of an era by organizing weavers to resist taxes, and has repeatedly appeared in later generations of historical textbooks and papers.

When Ge Cheng dies decades later, he will be erected by the people of Suzhou to worship him and worship him as General Ge, and become an artificial god.

The Chinese people must have a clergy. General Ge's clergy is probably the God of strike and tax resistance?

Although Ge Cheng is only in his twenties this year, he is good at defending his worries and is often generous. With his personal charm, dozens of good brothers gathered around him, and he has prestige among the weavers in Dongcheng.

That's why weaver leader selected by Shi Guanshi as the key training, responsible for charging on the front line.

After Ge Cheng was summoned to the Weaver Office, Shi Guanjun reminded him: "Tell the weaver that if the weaver industry makes a profit and is taken away by outsiders, it will be a loss to the entire industry!

If you can't keep your income, you weaver can't even maintain your daily salary of five cents, but you're afraid it will drop to four cents in the future!”

It's okay to take people to make trouble, but Ge Cheng was a little doubtful and asked again: "What if the Xujiang Industrial Park came to the site to recruit workers?"

In the past, when we encountered "problems", weavers did not cause trouble and had no place to go, but now they have other "ways".

"Impossible!" Manager Shi said with great certainty: "Their loom is already full and they have no spare time to recruit workers!"

When talking about looms hundreds of years later, many people may think of them as single spinning wheels. They think that this thing is nothing difficult to make, so they can easily make thousands of them.

However, the common silk looms in this era are often about one meter or five feet long, and more than one person is tall, and three or four weavers are required to operate it.

In this era, silk looms can be regarded as large-scale precision means of production, which is different from the small spinning wheel of a local cloth.

Therefore, a loom is not cheap and cannot be easily produced.

If you can create tens of looms with just one mouth, it is not a historical novel but a fantasy novel.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Suzhou City has accumulated over two hundred years, and now it has only produced a production scale of 10,000 looms.

The expansion of Xujiang Industrial Park in units of hundreds of boxes is already a shocking speed in the eyes of the world, which makes the Weavering Office very nervous.

Two months ago, the industrial park had poached a large number of weavers from the city.

And looms cannot be manufactured quickly on a large scale, so how can there be too many spare looms in the industrial park to recruit workers?

Even if you can have more than one or two dozen pieces now, it will not change the overall situation.

A few days later, the young weaver Ge Cheng led more than 800 workers to the county government gate for demonstration.

At this time, the more than 800 workers around General Ge were almost out of their way because they hadn't started work in a few days.

As for why the construction has not started for a few days, according to Shi Taigong of the Weaving Industry Office, it was because the county government wanted to exploit the weaving industry, so many machine owners were forced to close their business.

So with the help of Shi Taigong, Ge Cheng successfully organized more than 800 unemployed workers through his brothers, and today he came to the county government gate to demonstrate.

Shi Taigong has given advice. If the mood is in place, you can rush into the door and smash it if necessary.

As long as it is just a ritual gate, it will be fine if it is not violated by the county government hall.

Shi Taigong also advised him that if he encounters the newly appointed Chief Lin of the Suzhou City garrison who comes to suppress him, he should not be afraid or retreat.

Chief Lin didn’t dare to make things worse. The brave ones won when they meet on a narrow road, and there are tens of thousands of workers behind you to support you!

Also, if more than 800 people fail today, more workers will join in!

Looking at the county government gate, General Ge was a little excited in the future. This was the first time he organized his colleagues to challenge authority!

But he also knew very well that he should not be excited at this moment, but should be angry.

Perhaps because I was too young, my mood was not harmonious enough.

At the same time and space, at the bend of the Yaqian Street of Changzhou County, Lin Shoujie looked down at the direction of the county government gate, and the crowd was full of sight.

That's right, it's just looking down. Because Lin Shoujie stood on a roof for a wide view.

Look at the nearly a thousand weavers who were angry and were not afraid of the government army. Then look at the county government office that was in a state that was in a great enemy but did not take the initiative to attack and suppress.

Lin Shoubei could only sigh in his heart that this was the legendary small government that could not even afford taxes, but he liked it.

As a controller of a large Kangcaien organization that evolved from a collection community, whose business covers tax collection, transportation, agriculture, industry, commerce, smuggling, engineering, real estate, charity, security and other industries, how can you not like small governments?

If it is difficult to understand what the Kangcaien organization is, for example, the chaebols in two developed countries in East Asia in later generations, several of which were the word "three".

Thinking of the greatest imagination of the East Asian chaebols in later generations, Lin Shoubei suddenly rose and turned to the guardians on both sides and said, "Send someone to the proofreading office to ask if there is any new girl group that has made its debut recently?"

Zhang Wen was confused: "What is a girl group?"

Lin Shoubei thought about it and explained as appropriate as possible that the times were explained: "It is a fixed combination of people who debuted in groups and acted in dramas together.

Everyone has a relatively fixed role positioning, including those responsible for Qingyi, those responsible for Huadan, and those responsible for cross-dressing young actors."

Zhang Wen suddenly realized, "Isn't that a female opera troupe that acts in dramas? But female opera troupes are mostly family troupes, including Mr. Zhang Fengyi and Mr. Shen Ershi, and the proofreader rarely launches female opera troupes.

If you are interested in a female opera troupe, just look for Mr. Zhang Fengyi and Mr. Shen Er!”

Lin Shoubei replied: "It's not interesting if others raise them privately! Go back and let the proofreading office follow the trend of the times and don't stay in place.

Always playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, songs, music, music, and music will only make people aesthetically tired, and they will create more girls' groups that perform public dramas!

Remember, you must declare to the public that you should not sell yourself! This is the essence!”

Zhang Wen was speechless and pointed to the weaver outside the county government gate. Can you be more serious when attending the hall?

You are now in the garrison, and are asked for help from the county government to suppress the weaver riot!

At such a tense time and place, I talked about a girl group, which was outrageously comparable to Cao Mengde in Wancheng.

Lin Shoujie, who was shouldering the heavy responsibility of rushing, said carelessly: "Don't worry, as long as I can get rid of the responsibility, no matter how they make trouble!

First, the county government office directly triggered the weaver riot, not me. Second, as long as it can be controlled locally and not affected by the court, it doesn't matter. Third, their reason for rioting was to resist taxes. Does the emperor have the heart to blame us poor local officials?"

Speaking of this, Lin Shoubin suddenly said strangely to the right guardian Zhang Wu: "You usually talk a lot, why don't you say a word today?"

Zhang Wu said deeply: "In the past, we always followed the civil unrest and riots. Today, we are actually here to be responsible for handling civil unrest. How can we feel?"

Lin Shoubei slapped Zhang Wu in the face, "Don't think it's useless here. Look at the riot weaver, there should be all the people, go down!"

Then Shoujie Lin jumped down from the roof and walked towards the county government gate.

A thousand officials came to the scene, blocking the alley.

With these thousand people, Lin Shoubai didn't have to worry about being besieged by the riot weaver.

"Who is the leader? Come out and say a few words!" Lin Shoubei shouted at the weavers.

If you are a more mature and steady leader, you will definitely not easily expose yourself.

But the future General Ge was only twenty years old at this time, and his qi was strong and his blood was hot, so he stood up.

Lin Shoubei shouted: "Why are you gathering all living beings here!"

Ge Cheng replied mechanically: "The government is harsh in government affairs, and the people are living in poverty. Many workers are hungry for several days, and their families are wailing."

At this time, most weavers have daily knots, just like the ones who made a living by tying daily knots and odd jobs in later generations. They were cut off after a day or two without income.

Listening to Ge Cheng complaining about his misfortune, Lin Shoubei suddenly asked: "Since you weavers are so famine that they have no food, why don't you go to the Jimeng Warehouse to apply for relief?"

"Ah?" Ge Cheng was stunned. The response was beyond the scope of the plan. He subconsciously said: "Is this OK?"

To be honest, in this era, although farmers have heavy tax burdens, their lives are indeed more secure than those of early urban industrial workers.

"Why can't it be? Don't you know?" Lin Shoubin said as if he was looking at a fool: "As long as you go to Xujiang Industrial Park to work, you can apply for relief from Jinong Shop first in the future.

Just you guys, each of them is a dou of rice, which is a quantity of 180 stones!

The Jinongcang in Wuxian and Changzhou County are about to be merged. At present, the inventory is at least 50,000 stones, which is more than enough to support you!"

Ge Cheng, the leader of the weaver riot, will not happen for a while, "Ah, this"

What happened today is completely different from what Shi Taigong said?

The weavers standing behind Ge Cheng whispered and whispered.

At this time, Lin Shoubei suddenly changed his face and shouted sternly: "But! You clearly have a way out and don't have to endure hunger at all, but you still dare to gather people in the county government for riots. This is a deliberate intention to make a mistake and take the opportunity to rebel!

Since you dare to regard the official law as nothing, I will let you know how powerful the official law is!"

Then Lin Shoujie raised his hand, and all the officials raised their weapons, and even two hundred archers began to draw their bows and draw arrows!

The situation is suddenly severe and conflict is about to break out!

Damn! The young riot leader Ge Cheng was shocked. Will he see blood when he comes up?

Many of the machine households are actually gentry families, and there are many people who are in charge of imperial examinations, and they have relationships from the local government to the court. At the same time, they are also part of the Suzhou official relations network.

Moreover, we can manipulate public opinion on the grounds of "competing for profit with the people". All actions of taxing machine households can be portrayed as a tyrant and exploiting the people.

Therefore, in the past, local officials are afraid of fighting against tax and civil unrest, unwilling to suppress, and afraid of causing rebounds in all aspects.

Today, Ge Chengru didn’t expect that what the predecessors of the weaving industry have done in the past dynasties have become a little out of control when they get to their own place?

Why are you, Lin Shoubei, not afraid? Why are you afraid of your hands and feet?

Lin Shoubei looked at the future General Ge with interest. General Ge was still a little tender at this time.
