Win the Ding 1617

There was an impassioned voice in the courtyard of the Confucian Temple: "The harm of commercial taxation was obvious when the emperor was revealed. One product is one person, and the tax is taxed. The ointment sucks the marrow, and the husband and the people are unbearable..."

"The scourge of commercial taxation during the Wanli Dynasty is still fresh in my memory. The war spreads, and the disaster spreads all over the world. It is not the merchants who are trapped, but the people. The sage has a saying, taking the wealth of the people is not the way to make money. The way to make money , Live it, save it, it’s just two ends. The harm of increasing the distribution is nothing more than tax calculation, but the harm of commercial tax is measured in days. The collection of commercial tax is to seize the people’s wealth. ?”

"Although the land in the south of the Yangtze River is known as a rich and prosperous place, how can it be subjected to this kind of exploitation? If this is the case, the business will be poor and the people will be sparsely populated, the people's livelihood will be dying, and the disaster of Wanli will be in sight."

Those who spoke were a group of people dressed as scholars, all of them were dressed in Confucian shirts and square scarves. They were of different ages. There were people with white beard and hair, and some young men with black fluff just emerging from their upper lips.

Among the scholars present, there were some faces that we had seen in front of Meixiang Building that day, but instead of the poetic and romantic manners of that day, they were replaced by a face of concern for the country and the people.

Although the incident of that night was also circulated among the scholars near the Confucius Temple, no matter how you say it, Hou Fangyu is the son of the leader of the Donglin Forest.And Qian Qianyi is a senior in the literary world, and countless people regard him as an idol. "Students of my generation, even if they behave a little out of character, they are also arrogant and unrestrained. How can he, a rude warrior who can only lead soldiers and fights, know that?"

This was the reaction of the scholars after Hou Fangyu and others were severely reprimanded by Li Shouhan that day.

There were many scholars present, except for the scholars who lived in the area surrounding the Gongyuan and Confucius Temple.There are also scholars from other places in the city, and even those living in Qixia Temple on Qixia Mountain outside the city, Rongchang Temple on Baohua Mountain, and Jiming Temple inside the city. There are almost hundreds of people gathered.

The many scholars present are also you and me, and the words are heartbroken.Li Shouhan and Liu Kongzhao signed the Jianghai joint defense agreement, and the establishment of the three provinces' coastal defense yamen in Songjiang Prefecture has been widely known in Nanjing.

It should be noted that since Wanli, Jiangnan has no longer grown food as its main source of income.Back then, Suhu Shutianxiazu has quietly become Huguang Shutianxiazu. Jiangnan has changed from a grain-producing area to an importing area, and most of the cash crops such as silk tea are grown.

All the scholars and students present, which one has not opened a shop?Merchants from all over the south of the Yangtze River.Which one has nothing to do with maritime trade?Even if they are not directly engaged in maritime trade.Then, the huge industrial chain of procurement, manufacturing and transportation of various goods is also related to them.

Finally, when everyone was tired of talking, a consensus was reached.To emulate the sages of last year.Posting stays like anti-disruptive postings.The establishment of the Haiphong Yamen in the three provinces will be overthrown by the outrageous and unpopular move!Scholars and scholars who have read the books of sages and sages, they are the pillars of the court.It is necessary to take practical actions to advise the court and the emperor!

At this time, the streets outside were deserted, and the carriages and horses were deserted.Since the morning, many shops in the city have not opened their doors, and all business has stopped.The panic-stricken people in Nanjing began to rush to buy grain, rice, oil and salt. By noon, most of the shops in the city had closed their doors, and the price of brown rice in the city had soared to [-] yuan a bucket.

The market was depressed, and the people were panicked, not knowing what had happened.Not only that, there were huge crowds of petitioners in every street.Go to the yamen in Nanjing, cry to the ministers and servants of the ministries and courts, and ask them to come out and abolish the joint defense of the country and the people.

In the afternoon, the atmosphere in the city became more and more strange.The streets and alleys were filled with howling crowds, and all kinds of anonymous posters were posted everywhere.If an official's sedan horse passed by, he would be attacked by the rubble and garbage thrown by the crowd.

Faced with this situation, all the yamen left behind in Nanjing pretended to be deaf and dumb, and stayed behind closed doors, just waiting to see how Tong Anhou, who was in charge of Nanjing's defense, would deal with it.

Although the garrison yamen also posted a notice in the city, warning the common people and businesses everywhere not to be deceived by the villains, "It is important that everyone is safe and successful!"

As soon as the notice came out, the strike alliance seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Merchants and scholars gathered in one place to discuss matters. Behind them shaking feather fans and behind-the-scenes proprietors also came out one after another. After some encouragement, everyone decided to fight to the death and persevere to the end. .

After some conspiracies, the turmoil in Nanjing continued, and it tended to spread to surrounding towns.The merchants scattered a large number of their men, slaves, and tenants in all directions, and scholars from all over the place gave explanations, which made the crowd of petitioners in the city even larger.They either went all over the street to listen quietly, or gathered in front of various government offices and cried, and some green-skinned ruffians even took the opportunity to rise up, and the scene was chaotic.

However, people always vote with their feet, and shops are closed everywhere. Where should those ordinary people go to buy grain and oil?How to exchange a day's hard work for food that feeds the family?

"Brothers, there is food here! These Nanban are hoarding and not selling it! Grab it!"

"Yes! Grab!"

A few hooligans with green cloth wrapped around their heads, called old poles by Nanjing people, clamored and smashed on the door of a grain store.

Immediately there was a burst of approving shouts, and the streets suddenly jumped up and down. Many nearby citizens gathered around to watch, and some people were quietly holding rice bags and baskets in their hands.

"Boom!" The solid door panel of the rice store finally couldn't withstand the repeated impacts of the thick wood, and was knocked to the ground, revealing a gap.The gangsters cheered immediately, rushed in and opened the door of the rice store, letting more accomplices in.

Immediately, the hill-like rice piled up in the back warehouse shook people's eyes, and the gangsters quickly snatched the money from the counter, turned around and squeezed out from the crazy crowd, and fled.The rice store quickly became the target of robbery by the citizens. Those who carried the whole bag of rice, those who poured the rice into the baskets and carried it away, and those who used the rice bag to fill some rice in a hurry to escape, the whole rice store quickly became the center of the storm. .It has attracted countless people to flock here.

White rice grains sprinkled half the street.

What happened to this rice store became the fuse of the turmoil in the city.

Soon, someone shouted loudly on the street, "This is Nanman's cloth shop! Grab it!"

"This is a jewelry store! Grab a gem and go back for a lifetime!"

. . . . . .

Soon, the city was in chaos.

The servants, housekeepers, tenants and tenants who were still crying to the officials in front of the various yamen before could no longer hold back when they heard the voice of someone yelling for money.

Like their counterparts, they quickly smashed open shops in groups of three or four on the streets, rushed in to snatch the goods and property in the shops, and then smashed the shops into chaos.Women's cries and groans of pain were even heard in several shops.Green smoke billowed from several houses.It is not known whether someone set fire to the house or accidentally knocked over the incense stick.A large number of hooligans, bachelors and rascals in the city took advantage of the chaos to fish and rob money and things.

The city has become a mess.The garrison departments in Nanjing, such as the garrison yamen, Caojiang yamen, and the governor's office of the five armies, are like ants on a hot pot.Before that, he still pretended to be deaf and dumb like an old monk in his own yamen, and he turned a blind eye to the outside world and turned a deaf ear to the six yamen.But it came like a tide, and the ministers and servants came to the door to accuse them like a mourning concubine, demanding that the marquis and uncles who held military power quickly quell the chaos.

"My lord! It's not good. A large group of rioters have gone to Xinjiekou and other places!"

That Xinjiekou is a bustling commercial area in Nanjing, where countless shops are located.It can be said to be the essence of Nanjing city business.

"not good!"

"Master Hou! Please send troops quickly to calm this turmoil!"

"Master Guard! If you can't quell the riot quickly, you will bring the leader of the thug and those behind the scenes to justice. Even if this officer is risking his life, I will be strict with you!"

All of a sudden, begging, threatening, cursing, persuasion, all kinds of forms only expressed one core, "quiet this turmoil as soon as possible, don't let us lose too much."

Looking at this group of officials who usually have their nostrils upturned and who are only arrogant, Liu Kongzhao, Guo Zuoyong, and Xu Hongji felt as comfortable as eating ice in the dog days. "So you also begged us sometimes!?"

Wei Guogong Xu Hongji performed very well: "This group of thieves, at the foot of the emperor, they dare to be presumptuous! Come on! Please bring out the gun of the old ancestor King Zhongshan! Prepare the horse for the king of the country, and wait for me! After dressing neatly, go to destroy this group of daring guys!"

"Wei Guogong, the current situation is still unclear, and the chaos is overwhelming. We still need to think long-term. It's getting late now, so it's better to close the city gates, and it won't be too late to search the four cities after dawn."

Hearing Guo Zuoyong's mature and prudent opinion, Wei Guogong Xu Hongji nodded his approval quickly.I just hate that many officials of the six ministers, ministers, and courts have itchy teeth.But there is nothing to do.

When the first ball of fire erupted in the city, Shou Han was leading people to offer incense at the Dabaoen Temple outside the city.

The Dabaoen Temple, located on the banks of the Qinhuai River outside Jubaomen, was built by Chengzu for his biological mother. It took millions of taels of silver to build it in ten years. It has been famous for its pagodas and temple buildings for many years.In particular, the glazed pagoda of Dabaoen Temple, which has nine floors and eight sides, can be seen from the Yangtze River tens of miles away.The top of the brake is inlaid with gold and silver jewelry.There are 152 wind chimes hanging under the corner beams, which ring day and night and are heard for several miles.Since its completion, 140 Changming tower lamps have been lit, consuming 64 catties of fuel every day, resplendent and bright day and night.

At this time, there were soldiers from the guard regiment inside and outside the temple. Although they would not draw their bows and knives out of their sheaths, they were still heavily guarded. Those guards searched for suspicious targets with vigilant eyes, lest someone would come out and do harm to the lord.

The day before yesterday, after Li Zhenli and Yancao's gang leaders came to Xingyuan to report the letter, Shouhan ordered someone to take his name card to Dabaoen Temple and told the abbot that he would come to offer incense today and add some lamp oil to the Buddha.

After spending two days in Xingyuan, Li Zhenli, who was like a sister with Aolei Yilan, still dressed as a man, but changed into an outfit similar to that of an officer of the South China Army, with a brocade robe and a cloak hanging around her waist. The Japanese sword with a handle looks even more heroic.Holding Ao Lei Yilan, who was also dressed as an officer, with her left hand, her face flushed with excitement, telling Ao Lei Yilan the story of the Dabaoen Temple and the buildings in the temple all the way to Ao Lei Yilan, who was not enough eyesight.

Behind the two of them, several maidservants followed Li Xiangjun closely, and an older woman peeked at Li Zhenli's radiant face that was moisturized.Looking at Li Xiangjun's head full of pearls and emeralds, he couldn't help thinking wildly in his heart, and then looked at the wolf-like guards around him, and abruptly dismissed those thoughts, "Amitabha, I'm guilty, I'm guilty!"

Shou Han didn't know that some of the people accompanying him could think of Wei Wei's secret. He only heard the dignified abbot in brocade cassocks tell the origin of the Great Bao'en Temple, and rejoiced under the glazed pagoda of Bao'en Temple. The abbot said that the glazed tiles, glazed components and white tiles were fired when the tower was built.All in triplicate.One copy was used to build the tower, and the other two numbers were buried in the ground for reporting to the Ministry of Industry in case of any defects.According to the number of accessories repair.

Hear this.Shou Han couldn't help laughing inwardly. "This is much better than the oil-paper-wrapped ox forks of the Germans! You are just getting some plumbing fittings, but we have prepared all the parts for a tower!"

"Abbot, I am here this time. Firstly, to pay homage to the treasure temple. Secondly, I would like to ask the abbot and the monks of the Hesi Temple to do a water and land dojo for the soldiers of our Southern Guangdong Army who have sacrificed their lives for the country in order to save the heroes. Thirdly, it is said that the world today The scriptures of each temple are all from Guibao Temple, and I would like to ask you to return a set to promote Buddhism in various places in Nanzhong."

Dabaoen Temple has always been the center of the circulation of Chinese Buddhist scriptures during the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially famous for compiling, engraving, and printing the Tripitaka, a collection of Buddhist scriptures in Chinese.

Being able to invest in engraving and printing a Tripitaka has always been regarded by Buddhists as a supreme event with immeasurable merit.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Dabaoen Temple had a unique and lofty status in this field.Among the five Tripitakas that appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, three official inscriptions are related to Dabaoen Temple and its predecessor Tianxi Temple.Among them, the directly related ones are "Chu Ke Nan Zang" (formerly known as "Hongwu Nan Zang") and "Yongle Nan Zang".The "Northern Tibet of Yongle" carved in Beijing is not only based on "Southern Tibet of Yongle", but also many of its hosts are from Dabaoen Temple.

The "Yongle Nanzang", which was engraved in Dabaoen Temple and kept in the temple for a long time, printed and circulated, has the greatest influence.It can be said that since the sculpture of "Yongle Southern Tibet" in the 18th year of Yongle (1420), Dabaoen Temple has been undertaking the task of printing scriptures for most of the temples in the country, and is the absolute center for the circulation of Buddhist scriptures in China. It is difficult to count how many copies of "Yongle Southern Tibet" have been printed. However, Zheng He alone has printed 10 copies of "Tripitaka", covering famous temples all over the world. (Huh? It seems that something is wrong again?)

"Uncle Ning Yuan has such a great wish and kind heart, which is something my Buddha is happy to see." Someone came to ask for scriptures, why didn't the abbot agree?

"Please come over to Yuanbo!"

The Zhike of Dabaoen Temple has already prepared the fate book, with all pen and ink.

"Please write down, offering 1000 jin of lamp oil every month. There is also a set of clothes and materials for each of the monks in Hesi Temple. One bucket of gemstones and pearls are needed to decorate the Buddha statues, and [-] taels of gold for redecorating the Buddha statues." As for the matter of talking about the Tripitaka, I am willing to offer five thousand silver for a copy of the Tripitaka and its engravings."

Such a huge donation instantly made the abbot, monks, intellectuals and others feel as if they were listening to the lavish lectures and the 30 Kaling birds singing in unison in front of the Buddha of the Western Paradise.

Zhike hurriedly wrote down the cloth on the edge book, "Please look over it, uncle."

"No need, second brother, just come and take a look."

Naturally, Shou Han didn't care about such things.Just hold the hands of Li Zhenli and Ao Lei Yilan with the left and right hands and look around the glazed pagoda known as the Yongle Great Porcelain Kiln.

Zhike hastily brought the book to Li Peiting who came with him, intending to ask him to have a look.

"Boss, there's news from the city that it's started."

"Tell the two masters that everything will go according to the original agreement!"

Only someone whispered a few words in Li Peiting's ear, and Zhike secretly shouted in his heart that something was wrong, presumably he accidentally broke his secret!

"My lord, the Xiangji kitchen has prepared a vegetarian meal, please come to the dining hall to eat!" I hurriedly changed my words, pretending that I hadn't heard anything.

Inside the city, there was already chaos.

The rioting and robbery teams composed mainly of housekeepers, tenants, and servants who were chaotic before, and the green-skinned bachelors who were the first to smash and loot the shops, were tied up on the left arm by groups of messy clothes. Strong men with a few straws chased them around with wooden sticks and pennies, and drove them into silk and satin shops, porcelain shops, tea houses, silk shops, and tung oil shops that had been operating for many years in Nanjing.

After the entire warehouse, warehouse, and warehouse were smashed open by these people, they were driven away by men with straw on their left arms. Then, these men swept away the goods in the entire warehouse with extremely professional moving movements .

Large and small packages of silk, tea, raw silk, lacquerware, and porcelain were loaded onto vehicles and disappeared in the streets and alleys of Nanjing in a blink of an eye.

Under the cover of the gradually falling twilight, these valuable goods were quietly sent to the garbage ship on the river in the city, passed through the water gate and left the city to the Yangtze River, and then changed into a large ship and headed eastward.

Enjoying the very famous vegetarian food in Nanjing City in the Jiming Temple in the city, and at the same time commanding nearly ten thousand gang members to carry out organized robbery activities against all the stores of the rich people in the south of the Yangtze River, the two gang leaders feel that this kind of life is not too much. It's too comfortable!

10,000+ bolts of silks and satins of various colors, tens of thousands of bales of raw silk, more than 400 boats of porcelain, and more than [-] boats of tea. Such a huge number made the two gangsters who are used to bulk goods can't help but click their tongues.

Shouhan claimed the right to sell and transport the fine salt produced by the newly opened Yingge Haiyan factory in Qiongzhou Prefecture to the Yancao gang for three years. After they caused chaos in Nanjing, they organized gangs to investigate the business stores of the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River. Carry out organized robbery.

"As long as I want the goods, the gold, silver and money will belong to you. However, craftsmen in various computer rooms in Nanjing City, you have to take advantage of the chaos and get them out for me, and send them to Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture!"

This is the condition agreed between Li Peiting and the two gang leaders. (To be continued..)
