Shen Wansan, whose real name is Shen Fu, the word Zhongrong, commonly known as Wansan, is another name for the huge wealth.
When Shen Wansan was young, there was a flood at home, and his mother died of the plague. Shen Wansan's father, Shen You, had to take his four sons to Zhouzhuang.
After settling down in Zhouzhuang, Shen Wansan once slipped to the city of Suzhou to play. He came back and said happily that the people doing business there could make money and play everywhere. It was so interesting. It can be seen that Shen Wansan has been very interested in doing business since he was a child.
Zhouzhuang has fertile land and mild climate, which is very conducive to the growth of crops.
Shen Wansan also relied on the development of agriculture to start his business, and achieved the status of "huge capital and land all over the world".
was at the end of the Yuan Dynasty war. Suzhou giant Lu Deyuan felt that he was old and his huge inheritance was a scourge to his family, so he gave it all to Shen Wansan, whom he admired very much.
Shen Wansan has gained strength after getting Lu Deyuan's property.
Zhouzhuang is located in a water town with well-connected waterways.
While developing agriculture and purchasing land, Shen Wansan made use of Zhouzhuang's geographical advantages for commercial trade.
He shipped silk, porcelain and other commodities popular with foreigners from the mainland to overseas.
then shipped back from overseas, jewelry, ivory, spices and other things that are lacking in mainland China, and made huge profits.
Shen Wansan’s wealth is beyond people’s imagination, There is a rumor that Shen Wansan has a cornucopia in the folks. Put in a gold hairpin, and you can take out a lot of gold hairpins; put a silver ingot, You can take out a pot of silver ingots.
People suspect that Shen Wansan is rich in the world because of this inexhaustible and inexhaustible cornucopia, which shows how strong Shen Wansan's financial resources are.
It is a pity that Shen Wansansheng supported Zhang Shicheng during the war in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. When Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Suzhou, Suzhou wealthy businessman came out to help Zhang Shicheng and Shen Wansan was the head of the Suzhou wealthy businessman.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang has a grudge against Shen Wansan and always troubles them.
Shen Wansan rushed to flatter Zhu Yuanzhang when he saw it. He promised to help Zhu Yuanzhang build one-third of the city of Nanjing. Because of the war for many years, Zhu Yuanzhang could not have so much money, so the progress was slow.
But Shen Wansan's head is three days faster than the city wall built by Zhu Yuanzhang. Isn't this hitting Zhu Yuanzhang in the face?
Then Shen Wansan came up with another bad idea, he actually wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to reward the three armies, and each would give out one or two gold.
This is the photo of Zhu Yuanzhang's horseshoes. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. It was the emperor’s exclusive right to reward the three armies. A civilian dared to contaminate the imperial power, whether it was intentional or not, in Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes Chaotic people, kill.
Fortunately, Queen Ma is still sober, feeling a bit too much, and persuaded: "The ominous people, the heavens will die. Your majesty He Zhuyan!"
Shen Wansan saved his life , was distributed to Yunnan by .
But it's not over yet. Years of war have made the Ming Dynasty financially scarce, but the Shen family is rich and rich, and the court began to pick up the idea of the Shen family.
Shen Wansan's son-in-law, Gu Xuewen, was involved in the Lanyu case because of an affair with a woman.
Shen Wansan’s son-in-law, Gu Xuewen’s family and Shen’s family of six, nearly 80 people were decapitated, the fields were confiscated, and almost all of them were cut off.
The business empire created by Shen Wansan collapsed and declined rapidly.
Shen Wansan himself is also a stranger who died in a foreign land, leaving only the legend of a wealthy and enemy country, which is admired by the world.
