What role prototypes were there in the Ming Dynasty?

Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, was also robbed. Although Shen Wansan was copied by Zhu Yuanzhang, perhaps the screenwriter took him as the prototype and invented Shen Yi Shi.

There is a saying that since Zhu Yuanzhang didn't find any charges against Shen Wansan, Shen Wansan's wealth seems to be nothing illegal. This statement is just some guesses, but Shen Wansan probably understands that one tree catches the wind, so he should take the initiative to serve to ensure safety. Knowing that the capital (now Nanjing) was going to build a city wall, he took the initiative to bear the cost of13 and expressed his willingness to donate money to reward the sergeant.

Unexpectedly, when disaster fell from the sky, Zhu Yuanzhang flew into a rage and wanted to execute Shen Wansan: Isn't it a rebellion that a common people dared to join the army?

Fortunately, Ma Huanghou dissuaded me: I heard that the law only kills those who break the law, not those who are unlucky. Shen Wansan, a civilian, is extremely rich, but unfortunately. God will bring disaster to such people. Why did your majesty kill them? Zhu Yuanzhang was sent to Yunnan to avoid his own death. Naturally, all the property in Shenyang was confiscated. It is said that there are thousands of hectares of fields alone.

If Shen Wansan doesn't volunteer his labor, other charges will fall on him. In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Shen Wansan's wealth is a crime. If you want to add a crime, you can say it at any time. In short, all his property should be "public" (it should be understood as the "private" of the exclusive emperor). In the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, Shen Wansan's father Shen You moved from Huzhou Road (now Nanxun District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province) to Shenzhuangyang Village, Nanxun Town, Wucheng County [1] to Dongzhuang, Zhouzhuang, and then moved to Yinzibang. Shen Wansan made Suzhou an important place to do business after he became rich. He once supported Zhou regime in Pingjiang (Suzhou) Zhang Shicheng, and Zhang Shicheng once erected a monument for Shen Wansan. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang made Nanjing his capital, Shen Wansan helped to build a third of the capital, and Zhu Yuanzhang sealed the officials of his two sons. In Nanjing, "1654 verandahs and 4 restaurants ..." have been built, and comfortable houses have also been built. But soon, Shen Wansan was exiled by Zhu Yuanzhang and spent the rest of his life in Yunnan.

Shen Wansan is in Shenzhuang, Zhouzhuang, Suzhou, Nanjing and Yunnan.

Left footprints. Shen Wansan always regards Zhouzhuang as his career; "Three thousand are located in the northwest half of Kunming, that is, Dongzhuang land, Yinzibang, warehouses, gardens and pavilions, which are connected with houses" (Volume II of Nian Zhen Zhi), "Three thousand are located in Zhouzhuang, and dangerous houses still exist" (Su Tan by Yang Xunji in Ming Dynasty). Although Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang raised him, he didn't want to leave this treasure land. Yuan, Wang Hangzi Zhizhong, a native of Wuxian, Shen Wansan extended to Xibin, and every success was received (six miscellaneous notes in Zhouzhuang Town Records). It can be seen that he even wants to stay in this rich land and spend a lot of money on farming to make Shenyang prosperous for a long time.

Shen Wansan's real name is Shen Fu, whose name is Zhong Rong. His father is Shen You, who moved from Nanxun Town, Wucheng County, Huzhou Road to Caidong Village, Changzhou County, Pingjiang Road. Shen Wansan's younger brother's name is Shen Gui, the word Zhonghua, also known as "Shen". Shen Gui's second son: Chang Shen Dechang; Shen was born in Yanyou for seven years and died in Hongwu for four years. Shen Wansan was born in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Commonly known as wansan. Three thousand is the third show among ten thousand households, so it is also called three shows, as a nickname for the very rich. Three thousand is a social address for him. The real name is fu, and the word is Rong. He was the richest man in Jiangnan in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and also the richest man in China. If you have been to Zhouzhuang, an ancient town, when you have different admiration for the beauty of the ancient city, you may not think that Zhouzhuang has become a famous ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River because of Shen Wansan. Not only Zhouzhuang benefited from him, but Shen Wansan also contributed half to the construction of Nanjing City, because he was a rich country and was forced to contribute to the construction of Nanjing City under the envy of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty.

In the article "The Rise and Decline of Shen Wansan, the Rich Man in the Early Ming Dynasty" published at the Symposium on Economic History of the Ming Dynasty, Chen of Kunshan Cultural Management Association said that Shen Wansan's rise and fall began with his hard work. "Its predecessor started from the bow crop ... the great father is rich, and the inheritance is for; Handsome taste, children's strength ",shows that Shen Wansan got rich by reclamation, and he has a career foundation. Since then, Shen Wansan has obtained huge sums of money from the Lushi family and accumulated wealth in by going up one flight of stairs. "Shen Wansan's wealth for show belongs to the Wu family and the Lu family, and Lu Jiang left ... all for show". ("Zhouzhuang Town Records" Volume 6. Miscellaneous notes). After primitive accumulation, he got a huge sum of money from Lu, on the one hand, he continued to open a family; On the other hand, he took Zhouzhuang as the base of commodity trade and circulation, connected the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the west by using Baiyanjiang River (Dongjiang River), and made a fortune by developing "international trade", that is, "Fantong".

According to "Wujiang County Records", "Shen Wansan lives in Zhouzhuang, the 29th capital of Wujiang, and is rich in the world. According to legend, it was obtained from the same story. " Wu Han, a famous historian, also said: "Suzhou Shen Wansan No.1 made a fortune because of overseas trade." He accumulated primitive wealth through reclamation, then made good use of other people's money, boldly "fought for wealth for service", carried out foreign trade activities and expanded capital. As a result, he quickly became the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, with "great wealth and land everywhere". Shen Wansan really contributed to Zhouzhuang's "changing villages into towns". As for the rich man in Shen Wansan, he even said that he had a cornucopia and so on, which reflected that his wealth was countless and his skills in making and accumulating wealth were superb. Up to now, there are still many stories and legends about Shen Wansan's wealth, luxury, manor, business and family life in Suzhou, Nanjing, Zhenjiang, northern Zhejiang and Anhui.

There are also several references to Shen Wansan in the History of Ming Dynasty, one of which is clearly written in the Biography of Bigfoot Ma Huanghou: Shen Xiu, the rich man in Xing Wu (now Huzhou, Zhejiang Province), helped Zhu Yuanzhang build a third of Nanjing City, and asked for capital to reward the army. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and said, "Ordinary people dare to reward the emperor's army, which is absolutely chaotic and should be killed." Ma Huanghou remonstrated: "Your wife, I heard that the law is used to punish lawless people, not ominous people." The common people are extremely rich. They are unlucky people themselves. God is destined to bring disaster to them. Why did your majesty kill him again? "Zhu Yuanzhang listened to some Japanese, spared Shen Wansan and exiled Yunnan.

The official history says so, naturally many people believe it. People are kind, and they don't want a wealth legend to die of old age, so they make up the story of his immortality in Yunnan. During the reign of Kangxi, there were legends everywhere, saying that they met the immortal Shen Wansan in Yunnan.

But unfortunately, the legend is not true, and what the official said is not necessarily correct. The history of the Ming Dynasty was compiled for the Qing Dynasty, and the words smearing the Ming Dynasty for political purposes can be seen everywhere. However, historical facts tell us that Shen Wansan was actually a Yuan Dynasty native, born and died in the Yuan Dynasty.

According to the Records of Wujiang County compiled during the Qianlong period, "Zhang Shicheng died according to Wu 103,000, and his second son Mao transported rice from the sea to Yanjing". The source of the editor's historical materials is Wujiang Zhi written by Mo Dan in Ming Dynasty. Mo family and Shen family are children in-laws. What Mo Dan said, the compilers of Wujiang county annals naturally dare not neglect, but the official history of King James has been published, so they dare not overturn it, so they have to add a note at the back: Mo Dan said that when Zhang Shicheng occupied Wu Hui, Shen Wansan was already dead, but in the Ming Dynasty, he also said that Shen Wansan helped Emperor Gao (Zhu Yuanzhang) build Nanjing City and demanded a reward.
