We must know that in the dynasties and dynasties of ancient China, there have been many famous rich people, from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period Tao Zhugong Fanli, Duanmuzigong at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Lvbuwei in the Qing Dynasty Corrupt officials and Shen, Shen Wansan at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, etc. I will not list them one by one.
Today I mainly want to talk about Shen Wansan, who was a wealthy country in the late Ming and early Yuan Dynasty.

Let me give him a brief introduction. Shen Wansan's original name was Shen Fu and his name was Zhongrong. His family was ranked third in his home, hence Wansan, Wuxing (now Zhejiang Huzhou).
So how did he become the richest man in a wealthy country?
There are several theories circulating: (the following knowledge comes from Baidu Encyclopedia)
①Reclamation of the rich family: There are some historical records that the Shen family has reclaimed wasteland and the land is convenient for the world. In fact, in the troubled times of the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, many of the land of the dead or fugitives were taken as their own, and they were reclaimed by themselves, and water conservancy projects were built. As a result, they had thousands of hectares of fertile land and became the "richest man in the south of the Yangtze River."
②Encountered the help of a distinguished person: According to " Zhouzhuang Zhenzhi" records: Shen Wansan's wealth is derived from Wu Jiaren Lu, Lu Fujia Jiangzuo...Zhouzhuang and Xiu. "Zhen Zhi" Volume VI. Miscellaneous Notes), it was also said that "Lu Daoyuan, a rich man in the Yuan Dynasty, was the best in the world..." In the twilight years, the two wealthy managers will be paid with assets","One is Shen Wansan Xiuye, (Yang Xunji's "Su Tan"). So the reason for this becoming rich is that he became the richest man in Jiangnan after getting the property of the nobleman Lu.
③Overseas trade: According to " Wujiang County Chronicles", "Shen Wansan has a house in Zhouzhuang, the twenty-ninth capital of Wujiang. It is said to be a rich world. It is said that the famous historian Wu Han also said: " Suzhou_ span3span Shen Wan Sanyihao made his fortune because of overseas trade. "This shows that Shen Wansan became the richest man in Jiangnan by selling goods overseas through "overseas trade".
④There is also a folk legend: it is said that Shen Wansan got a "cornucopia". He has a wealth of wealth and has become the richest man.
These statements also have related explanations. We can’t be sure which statement is true, but it is certain that there is indeed Shen Wansan in history. Such a person is indeed a rich man.
He is actually a bit related to Zhu Yuanzhang, he helped Zhu Yuanzhang repair the city wall, but why did Zhu Yuanzhang send him to the Yunnan Chongjun?

After the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, so he settled in Nanjing and began to build the city wall. At that time, because he had no financial resources in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Shen Wansan, the richest man, helped him build palaces and walls, but Shen Wansan also committed crimes. A big mistake was made to reward the three armies for the emperor out of his own pocket.Although his approach also solved the emperor's current financial urgency. But since ancient times, the army has always been the backbone of a country. His move is to clarify that he wants to buy the army. With the army's strength, Zhu Yuanzhang's dominance will definitely be threatened. Zhu Yuanzhang was a ruler and emperor. How could he watch this happen? In this way, Shen Wansan slowly aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's disgust, until later it also caused Zhu Yuanzhang's anger and wanted to kill him. Shen Wansan saved his life under the plea of the horse queen , but Shen Wansan was also sent to Yunnan to fill the army.
