Shen Wansan, who was once a rich man in the country, why did he end up dying in a foreign land?

Shen Wansan was a wealthy businessman, but he offended Zhu Yuanzhang by building the Great Wall and rewarding the army with Zhu Yuanzhang, and finally Shen Wansan was exiled by Zhu Yuanzhang to Yunnan, where he ended his life.

Because he and Zhu Yuanzhang used to be friends, and later Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, and he was rich enough to rival the country, which made the emperor worry, so it didn't end well.

Because Shen Wansan was friendly with Zhang Shicheng at that time, but the person who became the emperor was Zhu Yuanzhang, it was obvious that Shen Wansan was not treated by the new emperor, and it was normal for him to be suppressed.

Shen Wansan's true historical ending: Because he was suspicious of Ming Taizu, he was sent to Yunnan with the army. 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.

Shen Wansan (year of birth and death unknown), whose real name is Shen Fu or Shen Xiu, whose name is Zhongrong, is Wanshan, and is a native of Nanxun Town, Wucheng County, Zhejiang Province (now Nanxun District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province). A wealthy man at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the son of a businessman Shen You.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he migrated to Zhouzhuang with his father and started his family by farming. Help businessman Lu Daoyuan manage his finances and obtain huge funds. We will make every effort to open up the first activity of the Mu Exhibition, and quickly become the richest man in Jiangnan with "huge assets and more land than Wuxia". Liuyu Nanjing, Suzhou, Wujiang and other places, famous all over the world.

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 one of the big political rulers and big businessmen. The supreme imperial power was inevitably victorious.

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

Shen Wansan, as the richest man in the Ming Dynasty and a legendary figure of a generation, the emperor was jealous of his wealth, and the final outcome was a guest death.

Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Suzhou City. At that time, the reason why Zhang Shicheng was able to hold on to Suzhou for eight months was because of the financial support of the rich people of Suzhou. As the head of Suzhou's rich people, Shen Wansan, of course, has made extraordinary contributions.

After the city was broken, Zhu Yuanzhang hated the rich people and even the common people of Suzhou to the core, and took a series of retaliatory measures.

Shen Wansan was a shrewd businessman who saw the severity of the situation and could only pat the emperor's sycophants in order to achieve peace. First of all, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to build Nanjing City, and Shen Wansan "helped build one-third of the capital", that is, the section from Zhonghua Gate to Shuixi Gate of the current Nanjing City Wall; Later, he simply wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and asked for funds to reward the three armies, and this time it was slapped on the emperor's feet.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, "The army of the world is punished, and the people are also chaotic, so it is appropriate to punish them." It's so good that Queen Ma is still sober, and she feels a little too much, and persuades: "The ominous people, the sky will be destroyed."

Your Majesty! Shen Wansan saved his life, sent to Yunnan, and finally died in a foreign land. This was the sixth year of Hongwu.

Shen Wansan is a famous rich man in the history of our country, and his main activities are in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. According to later records, his family fortune reached 2.1 billion**, which is equivalent to more than 1.4 trillion yuan when converted into the current RMB. In ancient times, when resources were quite scarce, how did Shen Wansan accumulate so much wealth?

First, farm and buy a house. It is said that his ancestors started as farmers. According to the records of historical magazines, Shen Wansan is extremely intelligent and creative, and often puts forward some advanced ideas.

In the early stage of Shen Wansan's start, a large area of wasteland was reclaimed, and irrigation and fertilization were paid attention to in the process of farming. Originally, most of the ancients farmed by the sky, and if the wind and rain were good, it would be a bumper harvest, and if the year was bad, it was likely that there would be no harvest. But after Shen Wansan's reforms, there was a relatively good harvest in both good and bad years, which was the first step for him to complete the accumulation of wealth.

Shen Wansan continued to buy houses and land after earning money and expanded his scale.

Second, capital operation. Now it is recorded in many rural histories that Shen Wansan received a large amount of money from the Lu family, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. But this statement is illogical, why should a rich man hand over his money to Shen Wansan for no reason.

A more reliable statement is that Shen Wansan helped the Lu family manage their finances, just like the current ** hand. The Lu family was the richest man in Jiangnan at that time, and their assets were very strong. Historical records record that the head of the Lu family handed over his assets to two people to manage in his later years, and distributed salaries according to the income, one of whom was Shen Wansan.

In addition to helping Shen Wansan obtain a lot of money, this move also allowed his talent in business to be revealed.

Third, the development of the international community**. Being an international ** is the way to truly make Shen Wansan rich. During the Ming Dynasty, when private affairs were opened to the outside world, Shen Wansan boldly expanded his business territory overseas, with Zhouzhuang established by him at that time as the center, and transported domestic goods through the canal.

Then exchange goods with foreign merchants and gain a steady stream of wealth.

Regarding Shen Wansan's final ending, the historical statements are confusing and undecided. One said that he threw himself into Zhu Yuanzhang's door. 1 3 of the construction costs of Nanjing City came from Shen Wansan's funding.

According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", in addition to spending money to help Zhu Yuanzhang build Nanjing City, Shen Wansan also privately paid out of his own pocket to reward the army at that time. This move angered Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally going to get rid of him, but under the persuasion of Queen Ma, Shen Wansan was exiled to Yunnan. So the last few years of Shen Wansan's life were spent on the border of Yunnan.

Another theory is that Shen Wansan died of illness when Zhang Shicheng occupied Wuhui, and his property was occupied by Zhang Shicheng. So it was impossible for him to meet Zhu Yuanzhang at all, so how could he help Zhu Yuanzhang build Nanjing? "Wu Jiang Zhi" recorded"Zhang Shicheng said that Wu Shiwansan was dead, and his two sons, Mao and Wangmi, transported rice from the sea to Yanjing"

Which one is more accurate, history does not give an accurate answer. But at least one thing is certain that in the imperial society, the emperor is the biggest winner, except for the emperor, everyone is just a tool.

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang have to get rid of Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty? Reasons no one thought of (3).

Although Shen Wansan was the richest man in the Ming Dynasty and was not worth an ordinary amount, he died of illness in the end, and his property was not left in the hands of future generations.

Shen Wansan had already died of illness when Zhang Shicheng occupied Wuhui, and his property was all occupied by Zhang Shicheng.

Regarding Shen Wansan's final ending, the historical statements are confusing and cannot be verified.

The ending is not recorded, and it is also said that it was secretly assigned by the emperor.

Historical statements are confusing and cannot be verified.

There is a reason called the tree to attract the wind, and the "big wind" recruited by Shen Wansan is still the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. Now that Shen Wanshan has entered Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, it is unlikely that he wants to get out of the country, after all, the position of "the richest man in the country" is indeed a huge threat to the royal family.

Legend has it that Shen Wansan also once supported Zhang Shicheng's Great Zhou regime, and later Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, fortunately Shen Wanshan saw the clue in time and found that the signs were wrong, just Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to build Nanjing City, so he offered to be responsible for one-third of the cost of Nanjing City.

But even so, it was only in exchange for a moment of peace.

After the history was uploaded, what really brought down Shen Wansan was actually just a simple coin. This coin is really just an ordinary coin, but what makes it special is that it was forcibly lent to Shen Wansan by Zhu Yuanzhang.

After borrowing it, Zhu Yuanzhang claimed to lend the coin to Shen Wansan for a month, repay it on the first day, double it every day thereafter, and return the interest and principal in full after a month. Shen Wansan was also confused at the time, but after all, this was the emperor's order, and he had no choice but to obey.

After a few days, Shen Wanshan finally realized that something was wrong, but the promise had been made, and it would be useless for him to go to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time. In this way, Shen Wanshan lost money day by day. It is said that it has not been a month before his family property has been compensated.

However, not only that, Zhu Yuanzhang later found a trumped-up charge to execute Shen Wansan.

A generation of rich people, the tree is big, the people and money are empty, and in the end they can't escape the fate of being **.

Shen Wansan is a genius in business, with a big family and a big business, and a wealth that rivals the country. It's a pity that the tree is very windy. was pitted off by Zhu Yuanzhang step by step.

He is a rich country, such a person has already threatened the imperial power, and he can't do it without killing him!

He felt that he had money and didn't need to work hard, so he went from being rich to being poor.

Naturally, because he was too rich, it caused Zhu Yuanzhang to be dissatisfied, and he was also helpless to attack the Shen family three times.

It's that you are more prodigal, you forget your own heart, and then you squander your own money, which leads to poverty in the end.

Shen Wansan was originally a very wealthy person, and he was also very high-profile in his work, which attracted Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction, so he was dealt with.

Shen Wansan was too rich, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely jealous, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent him to Yunnan. Later, because his son committed a crime, he was beheaded all over the house.

As the saying goes, "the tree is a big wind", because Shen Wansan is very rich, so Zhu Yuanzhang is red-eyed, and he asked him to take a lot of money and hand it over to the state, and at the same time, there is also the reason for his extravagance.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, so most feudal emperors are animals!

Because Shen Wansan was rich but often squandered, and then Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to hand over to the country, he gradually lost his family wealth.

When you have money, you start to spend extravagantly, forgetting your original intention when you were poor, and your family wealth will be lost.

How difficult it is to make money, but it is extremely easy to spend money, if you squander it, those family properties are enough, not to mention, there is Zhu Yuanzhang who is worried about his money!

If you have money and don't raise a big army, just wait to be criticized.

Taizu asked him for money, but if he couldn't negotiate it, Anqian would choose his life.

Shen Wansan died a natural death.

Shen Wansan spent the last years of his life in the border of Yunnan, Shen Wansan followed Zhang Sanfeng to Fuquan Mountain in 1392 to cultivate, and then died in Pingyue, in 1393, Shen Wansanxian died and was buried in Fuquan Mountain (under Fuquan Mountain, Fuquan City, Guizhou Province, and now there is still Shen Wansan's tomb under Fuquan Mountain).

In the 11th year of Ming Hongzhi (1498), his fifth grandson Shen Yanli (also known as Shen An) led his son Shen Bo and his daughter Shen Qionglian to move Shen Wansan's bones from Fuquan Mountain to Yinzibang, Zhouzhuang, Jiangsu, and buried it in Yinzibang, Zhouzhuang, Jiangsu, which was named the underwater tomb. Folklore has it that there is a pool of water at the end of the silver bank, and the spring source is connected to the bottom, and it does not dry up in the drought year. There is an ancient tomb under the water, which is very strong, and Shen Wansan's coffin is buried inside.

Shen Wansan tasted the handsome body and his children's strength, opened up the field house, was rich in gold and jade, and was able to push grace to Zhou Emergency, and the villagers called him the elders. He relied on Zhouzhuang and relied on the benefits of the three rivers to collect goods. Later, through the development of overseas ** accumulated huge wealth, so as to quickly become the first rich man in the south of the Yangtze River with "huge capital and land all over the world".

Folklore, Shen Wansan has a cornucopia, put a golden hairpin, can take out a large handful of golden hairpins; Put in a silver ingot, you can take out a pot of silver ingots, inexhaustible, so you can be rich in the world.

In Nanjing, he built the city wall and related facilities for Zhu Yuanzhang, and also built 1,654 corridors and four restaurants, and spent countless amounts of money. Today's Xuanwu Lake Park in Nanjing is the site of his back garden. The extravagant feasts and rich costumes are beyond people's imagination.

One of his agate flasks has a clear texture that resembles crystal. There is a grape in the middle like ink spots, called the grape under the moon, which is said to be exchanged for "Jiaxing County Salt Banknote".

After Shen Wansan made his career, he also knew how to be elegant. He often entertained dignitaries in his luxurious home, and in addition to the delicacies of the mountains and seas and the beauty of alcohol, he also had three classes of female music. In addition to the staggered cups, the female musicians performed ** songs and dances to entertain the guests.

They are both courtesans and musicians, and most of the performances are the Kunqu opera that Shen Wansan and his friends love to hear.

** people gathered together. There are as many as 60 people who serve as guards and patrol guards in Huawu, and they also have snacks and food every night, and they have to eat ten urns of wine and 30 plates of braised hooves in one night.

No, this kind of little person will not say the cause of death.

But the Ming history of the Qing Dynasty said that he was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, but in the books written by the Ming Dynasty, he was hung in the Yuan Dynasty.
