Who is Shen Wansan and how did Shen Wansan die?

Shen Wansan's real name is Shen Fu, the word Zhongrong, was born in Huzhou, Zhejiang. As for how old he was at the feast, there is much controversy in the world. Some say he was born in 1286, others say he was born in 1330 or 1328 and died in 1394.

During the Yuan Dynasty, he followed his father and moved to Dongcai Village, Changzhou County, Pingjiang Road, which is now Dongyuan of Zhouzhuang, Kunshan, Suzhou City. He was a businessman at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, he became the richest man at that time. Shen Wansan once led his subordinates to work hard, extensively open up farms and houses, and collect gold and jade.

At the same time, his character is also good, and he often benefits the villagers with the money he earns. After he became rich, he often used his financial resources and connections to push his favor to Zhou Yiyi, and the people in the township called him the elder Xiangshu.

He used Zhouzhuang, relying on the advantages of Sanjiang, to collect all kinds of goods. He used overseas ** to accumulate huge wealth, and quickly became the richest man in Jiangnan at that time from an ordinary person. The reason why Zhouzhuang was able to change from a village to a town in a relatively short period of time is also because of his contributions.

It is rumored that he had a cornucopia in which anything he put into the pot could be turned into a treasure, which reflects the innumerable wealth of his time and the skill of his wealth generation. It was only later that his family declined due to his sponsorship of Zhang Shicheng.

From Shen Wansan's deeds, it can be concluded that you can't forget your roots. He was the richest man at that time, but when he returned to his hometown of Suzhou when he became rich, he widened the road at his own expense, bringing many benefits to the people and winning the hearts of the locals. He also contributed to the construction of the city walls at his own expense.

During his exile, he regained his vitality by doing business again on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. In the twelfth year of Hongwu, he died and was buried in Yinzibang, Zhouzhuang.

Anecdotal allusion: The reclamation theory has been recorded in many historical materials, but the real perfect way to put forward this theory is the article "The Wealth and Decline of the Wealthy Shen Wansan in the Early Ming Dynasty" published by Chen Zhaohong of the Kunshan Cultural Management Committee at the "Ming Dynasty Economic History Academic Seminar". The article focuses on the fact that Shen Wansan started from "bowing to crops" and then "expanding the fields and houses, enriching the gold and jade", and then "having a huge amount of money, and the fields are all over the world". Shen Wansan relied on reclamation to get rich, and even became rich, known as the first in the south of the Yangtze River.

Some people think that "Shen Wansanxiu's wealth is due to the Lu family of Wu Jiaren, and Lu Fujia Jiangzuo..."All in the show". (Zhouzhuang Zhenzhi, Volume 6, Miscellaneous Notes), and some people say that "Lu Daoyuan, a rich man in the Yuan Dynasty, is the best in the world...... In the twilight years, the two people who governed the wealth were paid with assets", "one of them is Shen Wansan Xiu", (Yang Xunji's "Su Tan").

In short, Shen Wansan got the wealth of the Lu family in Fenhu, Wujiang, and became a huge rich man in Jiangnan.

Character evaluation:Among the historical events recorded in Chinese history books, the story of the rivalry between Zhu Yuanzhang and Shen Wansan is the only time that a big politician and a big businessman fought each other. The supreme imperial power was inevitably victorious.

The choice of this somewhat sad theme is only intended to take the good and bad fate between a founding emperor and a rich businessman who is rivaled by wealth as the starting point, and at a deeper level, China has been weak in the past hundred years.
