Chapter 3833 Am I Shen Wanshan?
Lin Feng simply shrugged.
"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 tried my best to do a good job, and I hope other real estate developers can follow my example and provide high-quality, 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 harsh. And you said, what should they do? If you privately build such luxurious low-rent housing, if this country If the construction is too bad, the people will complain. This will bring shame to the country.
"Haha, gentlemen, I don't think I will become Shen Wanshan, right!" Lin Feng said with a chuckle.
Who is Shen Wanshan? Also known as Shen Wansan, Shen Xiu, whose real name is Fu, whose courtesy name is Zhongrong, and who is known as Wansan in the world. He is a native of Wu-Xing County, Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province (now Huzhou), and was born in Pingjiang Prefecture (changed to Suzhou in the Ming Dynasty). Prefecture capital) Changzhou County (now Jiangsu-Suzhou) Dong-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 also a well-deserved Ming Dynasty The first wealthy businessman.
His deeds recorded in history books are still talked about today and are the talk of everyone after dinner. Why is Shen Wanshan so famous? Because he was the first businessman to challenge the imperial power. Once, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, was the founder of the Ming Dynasty. After the Northern War, the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty were driven out of the Central Plains, and they conquered the country with them. In the end, due to the struggle for the throne and Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion, after Zhang Shicheng proclaimed himself king, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to build the capital in Nanjing and decided to expand the city. Tiancheng. Build it very elegantly.
However, due to frequent wars and huge expenditures, there was no money to build the city wall. The wealthy Shen Wansan agreed to be responsible for the construction of the section from Jubao Gate to Shuixi Gate, as well as related projects such as outhouses, streets, bridges, water gates and department residences. He not only invited first-class people The construction craftsman Shen Wansan 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 extract oil and water, Shen Wansan still completed the city wall built by the royal family three days ahead of schedule. But doing so just refuted the emperor's face. Then, he 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.
From this point of view, 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 the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. . Only then did China have a history of humiliation in modern times. It can be said that the source of all this came from Zhu Yuanzhang. His pettiness, cruelty and selfishness set an example for every subsequent Ming emperor.
In this regard, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was also flawed. Although he single-handedly created the Tang Dynasty and initiated the Zhenguan rule, his "Xuanwu Gate Change" gave the successors of the Tang Dynasty This was the best excuse for the rebels to launch a coup. Almost every coup in the Tang Dynasty would be under the banner of Emperor Taizong and in the name of rejuvenating 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's matter, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. Long Yan was furious that Shen Wanshan actually wanted to propose using 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. Finally, Queen Bigfoot Horse, who has a virtuous reputation in history, spoke up and said that the law was used to kill lawless people, not to kill lawless people. Kill the unknown people. This common man is so rich that he can't rival the country, so he is an unknown person. God will naturally bring disaster to him. Although Zhu Yuanzhang is cunning, cunning, selfish and stingy, he still adheres to the principle of being afraid of his wife to a certain extent. Therefore, he listened to Empress Ma's words and did not kill Shen Wanshan. He just ransacked his family 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. It was prosperous, no worse than in the imperial 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 just confiscated his family property and sent him to the frontier. However, he heard that he lived a happy life in Yunnan, and as an emperor, it was impossible for him to die for a common man again. He sent troops to capture him. After all, Yunnan was far away from the emperor, and it was located on the border with inconvenient transportation and steep mountains. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang set his sights on Zhouzhuang again.
What is Zhouzhuang? It is now famous all over the country as one of the top ten ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The reason why Zhouzhuang has this village is because of Shen Wanshan. It is because of Shen Wanshan that Zhouzhuang, which later became one of the top ten ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, was created. During Shen Wanshan's time, Zhouzhuang was It 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, and directly destroy the entire Zhouzhuang and wipe out Shen Wanshan. Traces of mountains.
At this time, a man named Xu Minwang in Zhouzhuang did not shy away from the axe. He went to the capital to argue with Zhu Yuanzhang. As a result, although Zhu Yuanzhang was cunning, cunning and selfish, he was also somewhat heroic. Seeing this Xu Minwang was really not afraid of death, and was willing to sacrifice his life and death for the safety of all the villagers in Zhouzhuang. Longyan was immediately delighted. Instead of killing him, he took back the emperor's order and wrote a letter in his own hand - 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 send Shen Wanshan's two sons, the eldest son Shen Zhi and the second son Shen Zhuang, to jail, which eventually led to one of them being imprisoned. One son died tragically in prison, and the other was in his final years when he was released from prison. This was the second heavy blow to Shen Wanshan.
Later, Shen Wanshan's last bloodline in the Central Plains, his third son-in-law Gu Xuewen's family, was implicated in the Lan Yu case. Who is this Lan Yu? He was the founding general of the Ming Dynasty and Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law. Yes. It is said that it played a mainstay role in establishing an unbreakable foundation for the Ming Dynasty. As a result, after Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, he killed all the famous generals. Even though he died of illness that year, Chang Yuchun was very kind to him. Lan Yu, his wife and brother, were also killed. Gu Xuewen, who was implicated, naturally would not let it go. He directly implicated nine clans and a large family of 72, all of whom were killed.
At this point, Shen Wanshan's clan has disappeared. And Shen Wanshan is an old man alone. In this remote place of Yunnan, it is impossible to spread branches and leaves. But after all, Shen Wanshan is really a strange person. Well, after he learned that all his bloodline had been wiped out and had the idea of death, he met the most amazing person in Chinese history, Zhang Sanfeng, who happened to be traveling in Yunnan and Guizhou.
Everyone knows who Zhang Sanfeng is. 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. , vigorously developed Yunnan and Guizhou, and finally there was a prosperous Yunnan under the rule of Wu Shangui, the future king of Pingxi. In the end, Shen Wanshan was 80 years old, and how could he say that Shen Wanshan was a strange man, because he was buried and explored Feng Shui He is the direct disciple and grandson of Lai Buyi, a generation of Feng Shui master.
