Chapter 3833 Am I Shen Wanshan?

Lin Feng simply shrugged.レm♦思♦路♦客レ

"This, I also hope to be the best. As for the quality being too high, I think that as a leading figure in the country, I should take the lead and set an example in certain things, so I I have done my best and hope that other real estate developers can follow my example and provide high-quality and easy-to-live low-rent housing for the majority of home buyers who cannot afford to buy real estate." Lin Feng explained.

The two gentlemen looked at each other and smiled bitterly. This excuse is indeed high-sounding, but it sounds harsh. And you say, that leaves them with what to do. If you privately build such luxurious low-rent housing, if the country's construction is too poor, the people will complain. This will embarrass the country.

"Haha, gentlemen, I don't think I will become Shen Wanshan, right!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Who is Shen Wanshan? Also known as Shen Wansan and Shen Xiu, his real name is Fu, with the courtesy name Zhongrong and the world name Wansan. He is a native of Wu-Xing County (now Huzhou), Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province. He was born in Pingjiang Prefecture (renamed Suzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty) in Changzhou County (now Jiangsu-Jiangsu Province). Susu-zhou) East-Cai Village. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he was the largest wealthy businessman in Jiangnan. At that time, Jiangnan was the richest place in China, so Shen Wanshan was well deserved to be the richest businessman in the Ming Dynasty.

His deeds recorded in history books are still talked about today and are the subject of conversation after dinner. Why is Shen Wanshan so famous? Because he was the first businessman to challenge the imperial power. Once upon a time, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, fought in the south and north, drove the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty out of the Central Plains, and defeated Zhang Shicheng who fought with him to conquer the country. In the end, due to the struggle for the throne and Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion, after Zhang Shicheng proclaimed himself king, Zhu Yuanzhang decided Established the capital in Nanjing. And decided to expand Yingtian City and build it very grandly.

However, due to frequent wars and huge expenditures, there was no money to build the city wall. The wealthy Shen Wansan promised to be responsible for the construction of the section from Jubao Gate to Shuixi Gate, as well as related projects such as shacks, streets, bridges, water gates, and administrative residences. Not only did he hire first-class construction craftsmen, but he also spent all day on the construction site supervising the progress and inspecting the quality. Although some "inspectors" often went to the construction site to cause trouble and make money, Shen Wansan still completed the city wall built by the royal family three days ahead of schedule. But doing so just refutes the emperor's face. Then, he actually proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang that he planned to use his own million taels of gold to reward the three armies on behalf of the emperor. This finally made Ming Taizu Long Yan furious.

Judging from this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang was an extremely narrow-minded person, which is why there was the Ming Dynasty Prison and the East-West Factory Rebellion that lasted for hundreds of years. In the end, the Ming Dynasty lost China's great rivers and mountains, and finally allowed the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to enter the customs. Only then did China have a history of humiliation in modern times. It can be said that the source of all this comes from Zhu Yuanzhang. His pettiness, ruthlessness, and selfishness set an example for every subsequent Ming emperor.

On this point, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was also flawed. Although he single-handedly built the Tang Dynasty and created the Zhenguan rule. But his 'Xuanwu Gate Change' gave the successors of the Tang Dynasty the best excuse to launch a coup. Almost every coup in the Tang Dynasty

They will all use the banner of Emperor Taizong and rejuvenate the country.

Therefore, in some matters, there cannot be a precedent, otherwise once a precedent is set, there will be endless harm in the future.

Regarding Shen Wanshan, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. Long Yan was furious that Shen Wanshan wanted to use his million taels of gold to reward the three armies.

Even an ordinary man dares to reward the emperor's soldiers! Zhu Yuanzhang was about to kill Shen Wansan on the spot, but in the end, Queen Bigfoot Ma, who has a virtuous reputation in history, spoke up, saying that the law was used to kill lawless people, not unknown people. This common man is as rich as the country, so he is an unknown person. God will naturally bring disaster to him. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was cunning, cunning, selfish and stingy, he still inherited China's fine traditions to a certain extent in terms of being afraid of his wife. Therefore, after listening to Queen Ma's words, he did not kill Shen Wanshan, but just ransacked his house and sent him to Yunnan.

But Shen Wanshan was destined to be a legendary figure. Although he was sent to Yunnan, he used the Ancient Tea Horse Road to trade silk and tea with Europe, and gradually made his fortune in Yunnan again. Although he was sent to the frontier, his life was prosperous, no worse than in the capital. But when Shen Wanshan met the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, it was sad.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill Shen Wanshan because of Empress Ma's persuasion, he only confiscated his family property and sent him to the frontier. But I heard that he lived a happy life in Yunnan, and as the emperor, it was impossible for him to send troops to arrest a common man again. After all, Yunnan is high in the sky and far away from the emperor. It is located on the border with inconvenient transportation and steep mountains. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang set his sights on Zhouzhuang again.

What is Zhouzhuang? Nowadays, it is famous all over the country as one of the top ten ancient towns in Jiangnan. The reason why Zhouzhuang has this village is because of Shen Wanshan. It was because of Shen Wanshan that Zhouzhuang, later one of the top ten ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, came into being. During Shen Wanshan's time, Zhouzhuang was quite prosperous and lively. However, because of Shen Wanshan, Zhu Yuanzhang issued a massacre order to kill all the villagers in the town. Zhu Yuanzhang directly wanted to massacre all the villagers in Zhouzhuang, destroy the entire Zhouzhuang, and erase all traces of Shen Wanshan.

At this time, a man named Xu Minwang from Zhouzhuang did not avoid the axe and went to the capital to argue with Zhu Yuanzhang. As a result, although Zhu Yuanzhang was treacherous, cunning, selfish, but also had some heroic spirit. Seeing that Xu Minwang was really not afraid of death and was willing to exchange his own life and death for the safety of all the villagers in Zhouzhuang, he was immediately pleased. Instead of killing him, he took back the imperial order and wrote the five characters in his own handwriting - You are a good citizen.

In the end, the villagers of Zhouzhuang saved their lives. However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not let Shen Wanshan go, but used the land tax to put Shen Wanshan's two sons, the eldest son Shen Zhi and the second son Shen Zhuang, in jail, which eventually led to the tragic death of one of the sons in prison, and the other was also in his twilight years when he was released from prison. This was the second heavy blow to Shen Wanshan.

Later, the last bloodline of Shen Wanshan left in the Central Plains, the family of his third son-in-law Gu Xuewen, was implicated in the Lan Yu case. Who is Lan Yu? He is a famous general of the founding of the Ming Dynasty and the brother-in-law of Chang Yuchun. It can be said that he played a pivotal role in the establishment of the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang killed all the famous generals after he became emperor. Even Lan Yu, the brother-in-law of Chang Yuchun, who died of illness and had a great favor to him, was killed. Gu Xuewen, who was implicated in the incident, would naturally not be let go. The entire family, 72 people, were directly implicated.

At this point, Shen Wanshan's family disappeared. And Shen Wanshan, an old man alone, wanted to have branches and leaves in the remote place of Yunnan, which was impossible. But Shen Wanshan was really a strange man. After he learned that all his bloodline had been killed, he had the idea of ​​​​suicide, and he met the first strange man in Chinese history, Zhang Sanfeng, who happened to be traveling in Yunnan and Guizhou.

Who is Zhang Sanfeng? Everyone knows it. The founder of Wudang and the master of Tai Chi. He lived for 147 years. According to folklore, Zhang Sanfeng finally ascended to heaven and became a god. After meeting Zhang Sanfeng, Shen Wanshan got his advice and decided to spend all his wealth to vigorously develop Yunnan and Guizhou, and finally had a prosperous Yunnan under the governance of the future Pingxi King Wu Shangui. In the end, Shen Wanshan died at the age of 80. Why is Shen Wanshan a strange man? Because the one who buried him and explored the feng shui was the direct disciple of the great feng shui master Lai Buyi.

At this time, Lin Feng asked if he was Shen Wanshan, which was a torture of the two gentlemen.
