Zhu Yuanzhang prepared to build the capital in Nanjing and decided to expand Yingtian City, making it very grand. However, due to frequent wars and huge expenses, there is no money to repair the city wall. Shen Wansan, Fu Hao promised to be responsible for the construction of the section from Jubaomen to Shuiximen, and related projects, such as profile houses, streets, bridges, sluices and office buildings.
He not only hired first-class construction workers, but also supervised the progress and checked the quality on the construction site all day. Although some "school signs" often go to the construction site to make trouble and make money, Shen Wansan still finished the wall built by the royal family three days ahead of schedule.
Can do this, just a big refutation of the emperor's face. Later, he actually proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang that he intended to use his own two million gold instead of the emperor to reward the three armed forces. This eventually made Ming Taizu very angry, so he was exiled to the border area of Yunnan.
2. Settle in Zhouzhuang
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a rich family named Shen in Shenjiayang, Nanxun Town (now Huzhou, Zhejiang Province). Unexpectedly, his wife was suddenly flooded and died of the plague. Shen You picked up his four sons with a fishing boat and fled to Zhouzhuang Town, one hundred miles away from Nanxun overnight. The boss died unfortunately, leaving only Shen Wansan and Shen Gui.
On one occasion, Shen Wansan unexpectedly left without saying goodbye, and there was no news for several days. When no one could find him, he came back excitedly. It is said that I went to Suzhou to play. People who do business there can make money and play around. It's so interesting.
3. Lu gives money.
In the Yuan Dynasty, Suzhou Dafu Lu admired Shen Wansan's intelligence and business credit, and felt that he was old and saw through the world of mortals. If you don't pass on the huge property in your hands to others, once the situation is turbulent, it will become a disaster. So, all these things were given to Shen Wansan, who went to Kaiyunge by the lake of Hu Cheng and became a Taoist until his death. Shen Wansan got this huge sum of money from Liu Deyuan, which is even worse.
4. Get out of Haitong Fan
On the one hand, Shen Wansan has opened up farmland and houses, on the other hand, Zhouzhuang, which is located in the east of Shanghai and Nantong to Zhejiang, is a base for commodity trade and circulation, transporting mainland silk, porcelain, grain and handicrafts overseas, as well as overseas jewelry, ivory, rhinoceros horn, spices and medicinal materials to China.
Started the foreign trade activities of "striving for wealth for service", and soon made himself the richest man in Jiangnan, creating a miracle unimaginable to the world.
5. cornucopia
Shen Wansan's family started with farming in the early years, and later hired people to farm when they got rich. Then one year, there was a drought there, and many plants could not survive. There is only one worker in his family who can cut a lot of grass every day. Shen Wansan was curious and asked him why he could mow so much grass every day, but the mowers hid the fact. So in the next few days, Shen Wansan quietly followed.
For several days, Shen Wanshan watched behind the lawn mower. He sleeps at the bottom of Shenjia Bridge in the north of Shenjia Village every day, and doesn't go to Niudan Mountain in the north of the village until noon when no one is around. So he forced the mowers to take him to the mowing place. When he got there, he found a round lawn with green grass.
He asked someone to cut it, and no matter how much he cut it, the grass would grow out immediately and continuously. Shen Wanshan observed that this mountain is close to the Phoenix Mountain in the south of Shanxi Province, and the phoenix does not fall into a land of treasures. The next day, he took two men there and dug an iron basin.
Shen Wansan didn't find a place after he brought the iron basin back. It has been studied for a long time and there is no conclusion. Finally, he used this pot of pig feed to feed pigs. Pigs grow fast. So he washed the iron basin and took it home to wash his hands and face. I found nothing wrong, so I put it aside again.
Later, when Shen Wansan's daughter-in-law washed her hands, she accidentally dropped the gold ring in the basin. She quickly took out her ring and something strange happened. More and more gold rings have been fished out. Shen Wansan realized that this iron basin was really a treasure, and he made a fortune with it.
