Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter 3833 Am I Shen Wanshan?

Lin Feng simply shrugged.レm♦思♦路♦客レ

"I also hope to do the best, right? As for saying that the quality is 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 vast number 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 undoubtedly the richest businessman in the Ming Dynasty.

His deeds recorded in history books are still talked about to this day 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 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's 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 actually 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 shy away from the axe. He went to the capital to argue with Zhu Yuanzhang. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang, although cunning, cunning and selfish, was also somewhat heroic. Seeing that Xu Minwang was really not afraid of death and was willing to sacrifice his own life and death for the safety of all the villagers in Zhouzhuang, he was immediately delighted. Instead of killing him, he withdrew the emperor's order and personally wrote a letter - You are a good citizen - with these five characters.

In the end, the villagers of Zhouzhuang saved their lives. However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not let Shen Wanshan go. Instead, he used land taxes to put Shen Wanshan's two sons, the eldest son Shen Zhi and the second son Shen Zhuang, in prison. In the end, one of the sons died tragically in prison, and when the other was released from prison, It’s also the last years of his life. This was the second heavy blow to Shen Wanshan.

Later, the family of Gu Xuewen, Shen Wanshan's third son-in-law, the last bloodline left by Shen Wanshan in the Central Plains, was implicated in the Lan Yu case. Who is this Lan Yu? He is the founding general of the Ming Dynasty and Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law. It can be said that it played a mainstay role in establishing an unbreakable foundation for the Ming Dynasty. As a result, after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he killed all the famous generals. Even though he died of illness that year, Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law Lan Yu, who was a great benefactor to him, was also killed. And Gu Xuewen, who was involved, would naturally not let it go. Directly implicated in the nine clans, a large family of 72 were all killed.

At this point, the Shen Wanshan clan disappeared into thin air. As for Shen Wanshan, an old man alone, it was impossible to spread his branches in a remote place like Yunnan. But after all, Shen Wanshan is really a strange person. After he learned that all his bloodline had been wiped out, when he had the idea of ​​​​death, he met the most strange person in Chinese history, Zhang Sanfeng, who happened to be traveling in Yunnan and Guizhou.

Everyone knows who Zhang Sanfeng is. Founder of Wudang and Tai Chi master. One 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. Finally, he had a prosperous Yunnan under the rule of Wu Shangui, the future king of Pingxi. In the end, Shen Wanshan was 80 years old. How can we say that Shen Wanshan was a strange man, because the person who buried him and explored Feng Shui was the direct disciple and grandson of Lai Buyi, a Feng Shui master of the generation.

At this time, Lin Feng asked himself if he was Shen Wanshan. This was to torture the two gentlemen.
