Chapter 223 Shen Wansan

Empress Fu also saw the inventory in the harem, and she was very happy at the time, but now the immortals have made an inventory to imply that Dong Xian is not a good person, Emperor Han Shuai should know how to regret it, and stay away from Dong Xian!
How do you know that Emperor Han Shuai still went his own way and ignored the lonely women in their harem at all!Empress Fu was ashamed!
Empress Fu was not reconciled, so she led a group of sisters to meet Emperor Han Shuai and remonstrate with death!

Instead of showing any fear, Emperor Han Shuai was very angry and took this opportunity to demote the queen and others to common people!Use it as an example!

Empress Fu's sorrow is greater than her heart's death. Instead of being a commoner and being looked down upon and bullied by others, she might as well reward herself to an immortal!

Empress Fu clicked the reward button with this thought...

Empress Fu suddenly disappeared, and the laughing Emperor Han Shuai turned pale with shock!
Later, through intelligent science popularization by subordinates, I realized that as long as you are a common person, you can freely tip yourself!

Only then did the concubines who came with Empress Fu understand the mystery, and they all rewarded themselves to the immortal.

It was too late for Emperor Shui of the Han Dynasty to take back his life!
Seeing these women disappear one by one, Emperor Han Shuai was afraid that Empress Fu and the others would slander him in front of the immortals, which would be bad for him!
Emperor Shuai of the Han Dynasty hurriedly searched for beautiful women, intending to present them to the immortals.

Knowing about this, Zhao Feiyan immediately changed her mind. After all, as the empress dowager, she is not yet 40 years old and can only be a widow all the time. If she rewards herself to follow the immortal, she will not be lonely anymore!
She took the initiative to find Emperor Han Shuai, hoping that Emperor Han Shuai would demote her to a commoner.

At first Emperor Han Shuai disagreed no matter what, but Zhao Feiyan was eloquent and said that she would help persuade Empress Fu not to bear a grudge after she went.

Emperor Han Shuai was moved by the talk, so he agreed to Zhao Feiyan's request.

Emperor Han Shuai selected three hundred beauties in the harem, and the people, together with Zhao Feiyan, found an auspicious day, and rewarded these women to the immortals!
Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction. Although it was a mistake, Emperor Han Shuai was always much better than Emperor Wen and Emperor Han Jing!At least I got benefits!
The stocktaking is still going on, next is No.4 who is rich and powerful!
Shen Wanshan was a wealthy man in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, his wealth rivaled that of any country.Shen Wansan is not an official, he is a veritable businessman.There is a folklore that Shen Wansan has a cornucopia, no matter what he puts in, he can turn out treasures, so he became the "No. The first person in Chinese history to carry out overseas buying trade.Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang was contracted to build the capital, Shen Wanshan undertook less than half of the project.It's just that Shen Wansan is too rich, and his wealth is even envied by Zhu Yuanzhang.

According to historical records, Shen Wansan once had a teacher who was very good at writing and wrote a good handwriting. By chance, he wrote a good article. After seeing it, Shen Wansan was full of praise and rewarded him with 20 taels of silver.Don't underestimate the 20 taels. In conversion, these 20 taels of silver are almost the wealth earned by ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty in a year.For example, everyone will know that there is a character in the novel "A Dream of Red Mansions" called Grandma Liu, who is the protagonist who enters the Grand View Garden. She once said that 20 taels of silver is enough for a family of four to eat and drink for a year.Shen Wansan casually said that he would provide the teacher with one year's rations, and he was really a local tyrant.

Of course, compared with the previous, this is just a drizzle.Shen Wansan likes to make friends and often invites guests to dinner. When people enter his yamen, they can often see various gold and silver treasures. Even chopsticks are made of mutton-fat jade. Needless to say, mutton-fat jade is so precious.In addition, Shen Wansan also drinks from white agate cups. These are priceless items. The wine vessels are so precious. How much he can spend on a meal must not be something we can guess.

Shen Wansan's family has a lot of money. People speculate that if all his belongings are converted into silver, it will be about 20 billion taels. What is the concept of 20 billion taels?In the Ming Dynasty, the annual financial revenue of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River was only more than 1000 million taels of silver, and Shen Wansan's property was more than 20 times the total financial revenue of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

There is a statement about Shen Wansan in the historical program I have watched.According to experts, Shen Wansan's 20 billion taels of silver was 100 times the country's annual income at that time if calculated based on the market price at that time.What a concept it is that a country has gained more wealth than one person after 8000 years of operation.Even in the later Qing Dynasty, when the state treasury earned the most revenue, it was only 20 million taels a year, and He Shen was only a billion taels after being greedy for a lifetime. What an exaggeration Shen Wansan earned from his own business routes was [-] billion.I believe that in all dynasties, as long as there is a character like Shen Wansan, he will inevitably die, after all, he is really too powerful.After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansan gave the court a thousand catties of gold every year. The wealth was staggering. There were even folk rumors that part of Zhu Yuanzhang's army was supported by Shen Wansan's money.

Converted according to parity purchasing power, one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to 300 yuan now, and Shen Wansan's 20 billion is equivalent to more than 6000 billion yuan now, which is three times as much as Ma Yun.

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang overhauled Nanjing and planned to build a capital in Nanjing. Shen Wansan contributed money to help the Ming Dynasty complete the construction of one-third of Nanjing City, and he paid all the money.In addition, such miscellaneous expenses as rewarding soldiers and civilians and the reward system were also funded by Shen Wansan.According to common sense, Zhu Yuanzhang should be very happy. After all, there is a stunned young man who saved him a lot of energy, but the former doesn't think so, and there is no excuse for the crime.Zhu Yuanzhang bluntly said that Shen Wansan paid for rewarding the army by himself, which was an offense against the superiors, because as a commoner, Shen Wansan did not exercise the right to reward at all, which is what the emperor should do.

It is worth noting that it was Shen Wansan who proposed to reward the army himself. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was going to pay for the reward of the army, but Shen Wansan, the richest man in Jiangnan, jumped out and strongly demanded that he take the initiative to pay for the reward.Zhu Yuanzhang said that he had millions of troops and questioned Shen Wansan's ability, but Shen Wansan just said "May each army reward one tael" arrogantly.Normal people can see that Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately made things difficult, but Shen Wansan threw himself into the trap.

So he was labeled as a rioter.Fortunately, Empress Ma persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang in time and gave up the idea, otherwise Shen Wansan's head would not have been saved.But having said that, even if Shen Wansan survived, he died in a foreign country and was exiled to Yunnan. It is a pity that a generation of wealthy people died like this.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and remained silent. Empress Ma observed her words and said with a smile: "The immortal spoke very fairly, and didn't say that you did something wrong. It's just a pity that Shen Wansan has the ability to make money, so he can't use it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked much better, nodded and said: "Well, what the queen said makes sense. When I was angry at the beginning, maybe I was too harsh on Shen Wansan! Come here, take care of me with pen and ink!"
