According to legend, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a wealthy businessman, Shen Manwan, in Shenjia Village. His family owned nine hectares of land and employed more than one person 10. One year, there was a serious drought, and plants and trees would die because of it. At this time, Shen Wansan's mowing servants cut a bundle of oily green and tender grass every day. After a long time, Shen Wansan felt very strange and asked the mowers, "How did you get so much good grass in such a drought?" At that time, he didn't tell his master where he cut the grass. For several days, Shen Wansan followed the lawn mower and watched. He sleeps at the bottom of Shenjia Bridge in the north of Shenjia Village every day, and doesn't go to Niudan Mountain in the north of the village until noon when no one is around. One day, Shen Wansan forced the mowers to take him to the mowing place. When he saw a green circular lawn, he asked the mowers to mow it. After cutting, he came out again, cutting fast and growing fast. Shen Wansan felt very strange and thought about it. This mountain is in the south of Shanxi, and the phoenix falls in a land without treasure. The next day, he took two people there to dig an iron basin. Later, Shen Wansan bought a pig and fed it to the pigs. After killing the pig, he washed his face with this basin. Once Shen Wansan's daughter-in-law accidentally threw a ring into the basin while washing her face, and the more money she received, the more money she received. When Shen Wansan knew this, he thought this basin was a good thing. At that time, it was said that there was a treasure cave in the mountains, where the Maos lived. Since Shen Wansan got the treasure, the Mao people left. There is a big gap between the three rooms in the cave, which still exists today. After Shen Wanshan got the treasure, he relied on Baopen's financial resources. 72 wells were drilled for the villagers, paving the way for the villagers. A few years later, the Yangtze River burst, and some people speculated that there must be a baby somewhere (it is said that babies will burst when they appear). The emperor issued a notice, "whoever can block the breach of the Yangtze River will be given a high official and generous salary." When Shen Wansan learned this, he unveiled the notice and came to Nanjing with the treasure to make a good deal with the emperor. The emperor casually promised to "borrow the fourth watch and return the fifth watch." Shen Wansan came to the breach, took out the "cornucopia" and put a handful of soil into it. After putting it in the gap, he immediately blocked the gap. Then, Shen Wansan went to the inner court to beg for high officials and high salaries, and went to Wu Geng to get the "cornucopia". Who knows that it was not until dawn that the four-watch drum was played. It is said that in order to defraud the treasure, the emperor changed the five to the four watch, and the south four and the north five started from this. Shen Wanshan was detained as soon as he arrived in Korea and asked him about his treasure. He also said that if he was not given the treasure, he would be punished, his predecessors would be beheaded, and then nine families would be destroyed. Shen Wansan's grave was dug into a pit (now the big puddle in Shenjing Village is the original forest land in Shenyang). People in Shenjing Village heard that there was treasure in Shen Wansan, but they didn't give it to them, committing the crime of murder. Some escaped, some changed their names. Since then, the well in Shenjiacun has been filled up.
Later, in order not to forget Shen Wansan's kindness, the people who moved here changed the name of the village to Shenjing Village, but Shenjing Village has never been Shen. Shen Wansan lived in the southeast corner of Shenjing Village at that time. During the Great Leap Forward, Mou Wei of Shenjing Village drilled a mysterious well while leveling the land. Well depth 12m, diameter 1.5m, water level 2.1m. Stone structure is complete, and the surface layer is weathered and yellowed. This ancient well is the one used by Shen Wansan in those days.
After the breach of the Yangtze River was blocked, the "cornucopia" became a large plain of soil, which was later built on it. It is said that the "cornucopia" has fallen under the Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing. During the Republic of China, the Kuomintang authorities heard that Shen Wansan's "cornucopia" was under the door of China, and ordered to dig a hole for treasure. As a result, they dug a big hole to live in, but they didn't find the cornucopia. It is said that the cornucopia returned to Shenjing Village and was later used as a bomb shelter (65433
Today, there is still a small pit on Niudan Mountain in the north of Shenjing Village, and no grass has grown in the pit until now. At first, the Shen family cultivated a low-lying land in Zhouzhuang, producing only reeds and thatch. But they are diligent in farming, making it a high-yield cultivated land.
Zhouzhuang has fertile land, mild climate and convenient irrigation. It has always been a good place to grow grain, rape, mulberry and sericulture. Shen Wansan came here with his father, mainly relying on the development of agricultural production, "starting from ploughing", and then "expanding the fields and houses and enriching treasures", resulting in "huge capital and land all over the world". Snow in Dongzhuang is one of the eight scenic spots in Zhouzhuang, which depicts the scenery of Shen Shi Manor. There are many huge granaries in Dongzhuang, and there are countless grains stored every year. In the Yuan Dynasty, Suzhou Dafu Lu admired Shen Wansan's intelligence and business credit, and felt that he 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. Zhu Yuanzhang prepared to build the capital in Nanjing and decided to expand Yingtian City, making it very grand. However, due to frequent wars and huge expenses, there is no money to repair the city wall. Shen Wansan, Fu Hao promised to be responsible for the construction of the section from Jubaomen to Shuiximen, and related projects, such as profile houses, streets, bridges, sluices and office buildings. 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 still finished the wall built by the royal family three days ahead of schedule. 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. After Shen Wansan exiled the army, Zhu Yuanzhang spared Zhouzhuang people and wanted to kill the whole town. A scholar named Xu stepped forward and bravely came to Nanjing to sue the imperial edict and ask the emperor to pardon the people. Seeing that Xu risked his life and forgot his own life, he dared to speak out. Zhu Yuanzhang never said that he would kill him again. He wrote five big words "You are good people" and politely sent him back to Zhouzhuang.
The pardoned people beat gongs and drums and held Xu high in the street happily. After Shen Wansan's accident, many friends came to visit him from Jiangzhe all the way to Dali, Yunnan. They found that taking the ancient tea-horse road to transport silk, ceramics and handicrafts from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to northwest Yunnan and even Tibet was a new way to seek wealth. Although the weather there is cold, the roads are bumpy and full of hardships, there is a lot of room for development. Experienced Shen Wansan used the ancient tea-horse road to transport silk and other specialties from Jiangnan to Yunnan, even Tibet, Myanmar and India. ...
Shen Wansan had no choice but to return to his old job and continue to do business on the ancient tea-horse road. No one thought that this brought him back to life. Shen Wansan spent the last few years of his life in the border areas of Yunnan. Shen Wansan followed Zhang Sanfeng to Fuquan Mountain on 1392 and died in Pingyue. 1393, Shen Wansan died and was buried in Fuquan Mountain (under Fuquan Mountain, Fuquan City, Guizhou Province, Shen Wansan's tomb still exists). In Ming Hongzhi 1 1 (1498), son Shen Bo and daughter Shen Qionglian, led by the fifth Sun Shen (also known as Shen An), buried Shen Wansan's remains from Fuquan Mountain in Zhouzhuang, Jiangsu Province, which is a famous underwater tomb. According to folklore, there is a flood at the end of Yinzibang, which leads to the spring and will not dry up in a dry year. There is an ancient tomb under the water, which is very strong and contains Shen Wansan's coffin. It makes people think and enlighten a lot today. Before Shen Wansan was born, his father had owned thousands of acres of fertile land and operated workshops such as rice shops and wineries. At that time, it was also a rich family in the local area. After Shen Wansan was born, he was nicknamed Shen Zhongrong and Shen Fu. When giving him full moon wine, his father ordered Four Treasures of the Study and gold and silver jewelry for him to rob, and Shen Wansan robbed a jade carving. Shen Shi housekeeper concluded that the son's future economic achievements far exceed his parents. However, Shen Fu was not happy. As a foreigner, Shen Fu's personal experience in communication with people made him hope that his son would study poetry books diligently in the future and worship his ancestors with fame.
Shen Wansan was naughty at school and didn't want to learn, and her husband was often teased by him. Xiao Wansan is very close to his nanny and housekeeper. The housekeeper especially likes to tease him and teach him arithmetic knowledge while playing. The housekeeper took an empty jar (made of ceramics) from the winery, asked Xiao Wansan to put change in it, and set up a ledger. Xiao Wansan attached great importance to this matter, thus forming Shen Wansan's financial management consciousness. The housekeeper smiled and named the jar cornucopia. Since then, Shenyang has called it a cornucopia. No one can imagine that the word "cornucopia" influenced Shen Wansan's life. No matter whether Shen Wansan made his fortune and moved to Suzhou or Zhu Yuanzhang moved to Nanjing, this cornucopia followed Shen Wansan all the time. Although not as magical as folklore, it is said that Shen Wansan has an inexhaustible business philosophy or inspiration for the cornucopia. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to occupy a cornucopia and build Nanjing City. Shen Wansan had to dedicate this cornucopia to the emperor on the grounds that he needed to choose an auspicious day and fast for 7749 days. Then he secretly summoned skilled craftsmen to build a cornucopia with gold and diamonds, and all kinds of auspicious patterns were used on it. Finally, he passed this level. Shen Wansan made a speech afterwards, saying that there is no cornucopia in the world, which is really Xiao He's failure!
The bones of Shen Wansan, the god of wealth, are buried at the top of Gupeng Village Committee in Yongfeng Town, Deqing County, Guangdong Province. Before burying Shen Wansan, Feng Shui master Lai Buyi named this treasure land "Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon". After Shen Wansan was buried, Feng Shui master Zeng Fuyang named the treasure land "Baizuzhu". The villagers at the foot of the mountain spread it, calling it "a hundred feet with pearls." Shen Wansan's descendants called the ancestral graves "a hundred feet spit pearls". Shen Wansan's descendants lived in Wulong Town, Deqing County. Most of them changed their surnames to Pan, but those who changed their surnames were unknown. Note: (One hundred feet is a centipede)
