Why did Zhu Yuanzhang kill the Shen Wansan family?

Because Shen Wansan is too rich, Zhu Yuanzhang is not as rich as Shen Wansan, and Zhu Yuanzhang is so suspicious that a person like Shen Wansan is not allowed to exist。Shen Wansan helped Zhu Yuanzhang a lot, during the Zhu Yuanzhang uprising, many of Zhu Yuanzhang's military expenses were borrowed from Shen Wansan, so Shen Wansan is the rich man behind Zhu Yuanzhang, it is said that Shen Wansan and Zhu Yuanzhang are still brothers, and the relationship between the two is very goodBut why did Zhu Yuanzhang kill Shen Wansan? Because Shen Wansan is so rich.

Most people know that Shen Wansan is rich, but they don't know what Shen Wansan started withShen Wansan is engaged in foreign trade, overseas **, Shen Wansan shipped Chinese porcelain, silk and other things overseas, replaced them with ivory, ** and other things, and then sold these things in China, every trip is an astronomical amount, over time, Shen Wansan became the richest man in the early Ming Dynasty.

Shen Wansan's wealth is not too much to describe as rich and rivaling the countryIn the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to build the Great Wall, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have so much money, and when he was in a dilemma, someone gave Zhu Yuanzhang an idea to let Shen Wansan repair a section of the Great Wall. As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he thought it was good, so he asked Shen Wansan to build a section of the Great Wall within a 15-day deadline, and Shen Wansan happily accepted the errand.

As soon as the 15th day arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang personally went to inspect and found that Shen Wansan's Great Wall had already been repaired, and it is better than himself, Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry after he went back, and directly asked the ** who repaired the Great Wall, why hasn't a businessman repaired the Great Wall well, **said, because Shen Wansan uses good things, and the craftsmen are smarter than us, that is, he is richer than us. Then Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind to get rid of Shen Wansan, who was richer than himself.

Shen Wansan is a huge rich man in the south of the Yangtze River, very tyrant, Zhu Yuanzhang should be afraid that people like Shen Wansan are too powerful and may have an impact on the country, he still wants to hold such a huge wealth in his own hands.

He wanted to monopolize the property of the Shen Wansan family, because they were really too rich.

Shen Wansan's family is getting stronger and stronger, and it has become Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant, and it must be eliminated quickly.

Shen Wansan's family is very rich and strong, and Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid that his power will be reduced.

The strength of Shen Wansan's family is too strong, and it is very likely to pose a threat to his position.

Shen Wansan is really rich, and his assets can shake the entire treasury.

He coveted the Shen family's property.

The name Shen Wansan may be familiar to many people, he was a very famous businessman during the Ming Dynasty, who made countless money, and could be called a rich country. The people can't imagine why he has so much money, so much so that they imagine that he has a cornucopia, no matter what he puts in it, all that comes out is gold and silver treasures, it can be imagined how rich Shen Wansan is. However, such a person who seemed to have nothing to do with the political court died at the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, why did Zhu Yuanzhang kill a businessman?

Shen Wansan, a native of Zhejiang, is the richest man in the Ming Dynasty and a figure in folk legends. Legend has it that Shen Wansan had no intention of getting a clay pot, but he didn't care at first, his wife took the clay pot as a pig trough to feed the pigs, and the pig food was poured into it, and the pigs couldn't eat it all, which was very magical. Shen washed the clay basin and studied it carefully, the golden hairpin on his head fell into the clay pot unintentionally, and a magical thing happened, the golden hairpin became two, two became four, and four became eight......Shen knew that this inconspicuous clay pot was a treasure, so he secretly hid it, and Shen Wansan came back in the evening to tell him ......Shen Wansan didn't believe it, so he took the silver and threw it into the clay pot, and sure enough, the silver became more and more, and the money rolled in.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had just established the Ming Dynasty and wanted to expand the city of Nanjing, but the treasury was empty after many years of war and there was no money, so Shen Wansan volunteered to say that he was willing to pay half of the project money, and at the same time agreed with Lao Zhu to start construction at the same time to see who built it quickly and built it well. As a result, Shen Wansan completed the task three days faster than Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu set up a banquet to entertain Shen Wansan, and his heart was very unhappy, thinking that you are a small person who is better than my emperor, so he found a reason to execute Shen Wansan's house, Queen Ma dissuaded Lao Zhu from letting Shen Wansan go, and Shen Wansan was finally confiscated in Yunnan. This is certainly a story, and it is not to be believed.

Shen Wansan, as the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, is because he is too rich, but he ended up with confiscation of family property and separation of his wife, Lao Zhu, as the emperor, has a very strong desire for power, and only Liu Bang can be compared with all dynasties, and Shen Wansan is so rich, he naturally has to find a way to defeat his power, and he also asks for money in the war, and Lao Zhu has made a huge fortune in Shen Wansan in just a few years. Even most of the city wall of Nanjing was built by Shen Wansan out of his pocket, costing tens of millions of taels, and Lao Zhu saw that Shen Wansan could not be defeated in this way, so he wanted to kill him, but fortunately, Queen Arima dissuaded him and changed it to Yunnan to fill the army. Why can't Zhu Yuanzhang tolerate the richest man?

As mentioned earlier, he is a person with a strong desire for power and status, and he will never allow a person who is richer than him to appear, after all, when the country was first founded, the country was poor, and people who are too rich can easily make the country go into chaos.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a grassroots emperor, and he can succeed with the help of the people around him, such as his small hair. There is also a person mentioned in the record, this person is Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty. Because he paid to help, Zhu Yuanzhang had the capital to work hard.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to repay his kindness, but instead carried out a purge of Shen Wansan's family after becoming the emperor. His actions were more of revenge than jealousy.

Because at that time, Shen Wansan said that he would reward the people in the barracks, but his move was too high-profile, which made Zhu Yuanzhang think that he was buying people's hearts, so he was wary of him. This is only one of the reasons, the biggest reason is because Zhu Yuanzhang is too suspicious, and he feels that his throne was obtained with the help of Shen Wansan. As long as he wants, he can still pay someone else to be the emperor.

It is precisely because it is not easy to get that Zhu Yuanzhang attaches more importance to this throne.

Shen Wansan didn't know what he thought at first, but Zhu Yuanzhang's three and two temptations, coupled with Queen Ma's secret reminder of him, he guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to cross the river and demolish the bridge. Shen Wansan was very smart, he took the initiative to say that he wanted to donate money to expand the treasury, so he donated all his property. It's a pity that this still couldn't make Zhu Yuanzhang let down his guard against him, so much so that he later suppressed his family in the name of suppressing wealthy businessmen.

These are not the main reasons, the key is because Zhu Yuanzhang's former biggest enemy knew Shen Wansan, and this person was Zhang Shicheng. At that time, Zhang Shicheng organized the army and said that he wanted to resist the Yuan, so Shen Wansan decided to help him and also contributed money to fund him. Although the relationship between the two is not very good, Zhu Yuanzhang can't untie the knot, which makes him have murderous intentions.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang hates the rich, he hates these rich people the most, and the richer he is, the more he hates them, so he is very dissatisfied with Shen Wansan, and finally uproots their whole family.

Because Shen Wansan's family is very rich, but Zhu Yuanzhang was born a farmer and suffered so much injustice, so he is jealous and hateful.

He just wanted to take revenge on them, Zhu Yuanzhang was a grassroots emperor. He was willing to give his wealth to Zhu Yuanzhang, which made Zhu Yuanzhang think that he was buying people's hearts.

The Ming Dynasty had just been established and was in ruins, and the treasury was tight and money was needed everywhere. Lao Zhu, who was in a hurry, attracted the attention of the rich businessmen and magnates, and he could make a lot of money by knocking them down and raiding their homes. Shen Wansan, as the richest man in the country, of course, bore the brunt of the first and cannot let it go.

Zhu Yuanzhang's success is inseparable from Song Wansan's help, but Song Wansan's wealth is what Zhu Yuanzhang is jealous of.

Because the economic base determines the superstructure, as a founding emperor, he will never allow anyone to come and give his country a chance of instability, so the first strike is stronger.

It is not a good thing for a businessman to be too rich in the eyes of the emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang's experience since he was a child may also make him hate businessmen even more.

It is precisely because of Shen Wansan that he is rich and rivals the country, and the money can be divine, and the fame is too high, and he should die, a country will never allow a businessman to be rich and rival the country, otherwise the country will be reduced to a country of merchants, just like South Korea.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a hooligan.

Everyone is starving half to death without clothes, and if you don't scrape him, you won't scrape him.

Why did our down payments for the first thirty years travel in prison?

Why did Li Ka-shing run? Are pigs fattened waiting to be killed?

Don't make the state want to slack funds.

Kill Shen Wansan, surpass Shen Wansan's family treasury will be full, and be an emperor, can you be very willful, and how could Zhu Yuanzhang let a person who is richer than my family exist?

I think that Shen Wan's three riches can rival the country, and Zhu Yuanzhang can kill them, so that the silver can be nationalized and the financial problem can be solved.

Of course I know.

Shen Wansan, famous and rich; The word piece Rong, commonly known as Wansan. Ten thousand three, ten thousand households among the three shows, so also known as three shows, as the alias of the rich, the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty.

In the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, Shen Wansan's father, Shen Jiayang, migrated from Nanxun Shen Jiayang in Wuxing (present-day Huzhou, Zhejiang Province) to Zhoudong* (Tuzhai), and later to Yinzibang. After Shen Wansan became rich, he regarded Suzhou as an important place to do business, and he once supported the Great Zhou regime of Zhang Shicheng in Pingjiang (Suzhou), and Zhang Shicheng also set up a monument for Shen Wansan. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang set the capital in Nanjing, Shen Wansan helped build one-third of the capital, and Zhu Yuanzhang made his two sons officials; Also built in Nanjing"Corridors"One thousand six hundred and fifty-four trees, four restaurants ......"。

With a comfortable home; But soon; Shen Wansan was assigned by Zhu Yuanzhang to serve in the army and spent the rest of his life in Yunnan.

Shen Wansan left footprints in Zhouzhuang, Suzhou, Nanjing, and Yunnan. Shen Wansan has always regarded Zhouzhuang as the place where he started his business; "The Wansan residence is located in the northwest half of Fu, that is, the Dongzhuang land and the silver bank, the warehouse, the garden pavilion and the residence are connected with each other"(Anniversary Chronicles, Vol. 2)."Wansan's family is in Zhouzhuang, and the dilapidated house still exists"(Ming Yang Xunji Su Talk). Although he was rewarded by Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang, he was reluctant to leave this treasure land.

Yuan, Wang Xingzi Zhizhong, a native of Wu County, Shen Wansan Yan is Xibin, every Wencheng, Shen Honorarium is a Yi"("Zhouzhuang Zhenzhi" Volume 6 Miscellaneous Notes), it can be seen that he even wants to stay in this rich land with his own children and grandchildren, and he spares no expense to cultivate them, so that the Shen family will prosper for a long time.
