According to the TV series, Shen Wansan was the biggest businessman in the world at that time. At that time, the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang also heard the name of Shen Wansan. He thought that the national treasury was not as rich as Shen Wansan, which was simply a contempt for national dignity, so he came up with a plan to deprive Shen Wansan of money. He gave Shen Wansan a coin and asked Shen Wansan to give it to him to make money. Moreover, even if the daily fee is doubled every day, the time is one month. A month later, the interest on this money has rolled to about 400-500 million. Even if Shen Wansan had more money at that time, he could not have taken so much at once. So when Shen Wansan couldn't pay, Zhu Yuanzhang killed him for disobeying the king. This is just a record in a TV series, and the real record in history is not like this.
It is said that at that time, in order to please Zhu Yuanzhang, Shen Wansan built the South Wall at Zhu Yuanzhang because of the lack of capital chain. At this time, Shen Wansan offered to donate money to the country to build the city wall. And he really did, and because of his credit, his children were also arranged to be officials in the court. When Shen Wansan saw that the generals in Zhu Yuanzhang's army were having a hard time, he wanted to give them financial support. Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry when he learned about it. He didn't expect Shen Wansan to think about his own army. Even though he has so much money, he still wants to have something to do with the army. Is this a rebellion?
In a rage, he tried to kill Shen Wansan, but was stopped by the courtiers around him. After all, Shen Wansan just gave people money to live a better life, and didn't mean to buy people's hearts. So although Zhu Yuanzhang spared Shen Wansan, he still took Shen Wansan's property, confiscated all his property and exiled Yunnan for life. There is also a saying that Shen Wansan was quiet in the Yuan Dynasty and finally spent his life in peace and wealth.
