Shen Wansan's real name is Shen Fu, and his real name is Zhong Rong, commonly known as "three thousand". Every family has "three shows", so it is also called "three shows", which is another name for super-rich people, businessmen and super-rich people in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Shen Wansan accumulated primitive wealth through overseas trade and quickly became the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, with huge wealth and land all over the world. The transformation of Zhouzhuang from village to town is actually due to Shen Wansan. As for Shen Wansan's wealth, people even say that he has a cornucopia. This reflects that his wealth is countless and his skills in making and accumulating wealth are superb.

In the sixth year of Wu Hong, Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Suzhou City. At that time, Zhang Shicheng was able to stay in Suzhou for eight months because of the financial support of Suzhou Fumin. As the head of Suzhou's prosperity, Shen Wansan certainly made extraordinary efforts. After the destruction of the city, Zhu Yuanzhang hated Suzhou for enriching the people and even the people, and took a series of retaliatory measures. Shen Wansan is a shrewd businessman. Seeing the seriousness of the situation, he could only kiss up to the emperor for peace. First, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to build Nanjing City, and Shen Wansan "helps to build a third of the capital", that is, the section from Zhonghua Gate to Shuiximen of Nanjing City Wall; Later, I simply wanted to strike while the iron was hot, asked for funds to reward the three armed forces, and caught the trace of the emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. "Everyone is the army of the world, and it is right to punish the people." Okay, Ma Huanghou's still awake. I think it's a little too much. He advised, "The ominous man will be destroyed by heaven. What is your majesty's punishment? " Shen Wansan saved his life, was sent to Yunnan, and finally died in another country. This happened in the sixth year of Hongwu.

As the saying goes, "a thin camel is bigger than a horse." Shen Wansan lost most of his property and his family was sent to Yunnan. However, the family is still thriving and life is still chic. It's just so chic that it leads to extinction. It happened in the last years of Hongwu. Shen Wansan's son-in-law, Gu, was involved in the aquamarine case because he had an affair with a woman, which led to the Shenyang family almost taking risks. This event was recorded in detail in the Tongli annals of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty. Now briefly described as follows: When Hong Wushi was in Tongli Town, there was a Chen Mou with a mentally retarded son. The mentally retarded son married Liang's wife, but she is a beautiful woman who can read and sing.

Such a woman with both talent and beauty is of course famous all over the world. At this time, Shen Wansan's son-in-law Gu heard about it and admired it very much. He often hires boats to travel between Zhouzhuang and Tongli. When the boat arrived in Tongli, it was moored under the window of Liang's bedroom. In the long run, Gu and Liang exchanged views several times. Gu Muliang's beauty, Liang envied Gu's handsomeness, but lacked opportunities. Gu bribed local hooligans, lured mentally retarded children, and went out to drink and gamble; He also instructed Liang's neighbor, an old woman, to bring novel jewels to Liang's house and tease her with words. Liang had a good impression on Gu, so he hit it off. Since then, the two have corresponded frequently. This mentally retarded child is ignorant. Because his father is on a business trip, he seldom goes home and is kept in the dark. Only my brother, the retarded uncle, nicknamed Chen's denial, vaguely heard some wind, but also suffered from no evidence. Again: Liang was careless, cut Gu's letter, rolled it into paper and put it under the lampshade. Chen didn't believe it, so he bought a page beside Liang, stole the paper, mended it, and sent someone. After Chen Mou saw it, he understood the truth; Besides, Gu's letter is covered with the Song Yuezhang, which is irrefutable evidence. Chen Mou thought, only with such a letter, sent to the government, what may not happen, lane is bad to it will ruin the reputation of the chens.

At this time, the aquamarine case happened. Aquamarine, the brother-in-law of Chang Yuchun, the king of Kaiping, made great contributions to Zhu Yuanzhang's farmland, and was named Liang Guogong. As soon as Jiangshan sat down, Aquamarine was proud of his achievements, accumulating Zhuang Nu and deceiving the people. Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that his tail would be too big to fall, and severely condemned him for treason. Chen Mou is worried about how to avenge his foolish son. Seeing that the case involved a wide range, he took the opportunity to falsely accuse Gu of conspiring with Aquamarine. As long as it involves the case of the sea, it is no longer a private matter and immediately becomes a major case. As a result, not only Gu was killed, but also his father and brother, his wife and family, including Shen Wansan's son. Liang was also forced by his father to hang himself. This incident lasted from the 26th year of Hongwu to the 31st year of Hongwu.

From then on, the Shen Wansan family completely fell. However, many people think that some records about Shen Wansan in the Ming Dynasty were deliberately made by the Qing people in order to discredit the rulers of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, there is no such thing as Shen Wansan building Nanjing to punish the army. He probably died before Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, and even had no connection with Zhu Yuanzhang at all. The truth remains to be further explored by future generations.
