He not only hired first-class construction workers, but also supervised the progress and checked the quality on the construction site all day. Although some "school signs" often go to the construction site to make trouble and make money, Shen Wansan completed the wall built by the royal family three days in advance. Can do this, just a big refutation of the emperor's face.
Later, he actually proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang that he intended to use his own two million gold instead of the emperor to reward the three armed forces. This finally made Ming Taizu face great anger. So he was sent to the border of Yunnan, because he had no property.
When Shen Wansan was demoted, it was said that he had five sons, gold, silver, copper, iron and tin. From a distance, people always feel that their side is shining along the way. So someone reported to the emperor that when Shen Wansan went to Yunnan, he also took away the wealth of Jiangnan.
The emperor hurried down the imperial edict, forbidding them to move on, and put Shen Wansan's five sons to death on the spot. The youngest son, a native of Xi, happened to be in an old place. After receiving the imperial edict, he committed suicide by jumping off a cliff on a high mountain and soon became a tin mine. The blood of the other four brothers flowed into the land of Yunnan and became a copper mine.
Extended data:
Shen Wansan, whose children are handsome in strength, is rich in land and real estate, and happy ever after can help others in an emergency. The villagers call him an elder. Relying on the advantages of Zhouzhuang and Sanjiang, he collected materials. After that, he accumulated huge wealth through overseas trade, thus quickly becoming the richest man in Jiangnan with "huge capital and land all over the world".
Zhouzhuang's "changing villages into towns" is also a credit to Shen Wansan. As for Shen Wansan's wealth, some people even say that he has a cornucopia, and everything in it can become treasure, and so on. This reflects his countless wealth and superb skills in manufacturing and accumulating wealth.
Up to now, there are still many stories and legends about Shen Wansan's wealth, luxury, land and real estate, business and family life in southern Jiangsu, northern Zhejiang and southern Anhui.
