Third-line, rich and prosperous, the world is called 3 thousand. Originally from Wucheng County, Huzhou Road, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Yuan Dynasty (now Nanxun District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province), Shen You, the third son of a businessman, was a businessman in China in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Shen Wansan's father moved to Zhouzhuang, Changzhou County, Pingjiang Road, and led his people to reclaim wasteland and become rich in agriculture. Shen Wansan inherited his father's footsteps, led his children to intensively cultivate and open up farmland houses, happy ever after. He also used Zhouzhuang as a commodity trade and circulation base, collected materials and quickly became the richest man in Jiangnan.
In the twenty-seventh year of Zheng Zheng (1367), Ming Taizu captured Suzhou City, and Zhang Shicheng Lai Shen Wansan and other Suzhou people strongly supported it and held on to Suzhou in August. After the city was broken, Ming Taizu took revenge measures against Su Min. Seeing the grim situation, Shen Wansan took the initiative to be nice. First, he helped to build Nanjing City, and contributed one third of the capital for the city.
Major achievements
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a rich family named Shen in Shenjiayang, Nanxun Town (now Huzhou, Zhejiang Province). Unexpectedly, his wife was suddenly flooded and died of the plague. Shen You picked up his four sons with a fishing boat and fled to Zhouzhuang Town, one hundred miles away from Nanxun overnight. The eldest brother and the second child died unfortunately, leaving only Shen Fu and Shen Gui.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the lake was rich and the land was rich. I appreciated Shen Wansan's intelligence and business credit, and felt that I was old and saw through the world of mortals. If you don't pass on the huge property in your hands to others, once the situation is turbulent, it will become a disaster. So, all these things were given to Shen Wansan, who went to Kaiyunge by the lake of Hu Cheng and became a Taoist until his death. Shen Wansan got this huge sum of money from Liu Deyuan, which is even worse.
Among the historical events recorded in China's history books, the story of Zhu Yuanzhang's struggle with Shen Wansan is the only story of a great politician's struggle with a great businessman. The supreme imperial power is bound to win.
