Once, Shen Wansan saw someone holding hundreds of frogs, ready to kill them. Shen Wansan couldn't bear to see these frogs killed, so he bought them all with money and put them in a pond to let them live a leisurely life.
Then one day, Shen Wansan passed by the pond and saw many frogs standing in a circle on a clay pot. He croaked as if to say, "Shen Wansan, Shen Wansan, please take the earthen basin home!" " So Shen Wansan took the earthen bowl home and used it as a toilet.
Once when he washed his hands with a clay basin, the ring he was wearing fell into the clay basin. It was not until the next morning that he realized that he had gone to the earthen basin to look for the ring. At that time, Shen Wansan suddenly discovered that the whole earthen basin was full of rings.
Shen Wansan was surprised, so he put the gold and silver in a clay pot and tried it. As a result, the whole earthen basin was filled with gold and silver! It turns out that this pottery bowl is the so-called cornucopia! Therefore, Shen Wansan's wealth is extremely rich and unparalleled.
2. Money gift from Lu
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.
3. Establish a museum that respects teachers.
Shen Wansan specially invited Wang to act as a school teacher and came to Zhouzhuang to set up a museum in Yinzibang. Wang Hang teaches well and writes well. Shen Wansan gave him a golden reward (at that time, it was twenty-two taels or twenty-four taels), which was considerable. Short name of Shenyang/surname
Wan San is well aware of the role of knowledge. He hopes that his children will have high knowledge and be able to deal with foreign businessmen, so as to inherit their family business and make Shenyang invincible forever.
4, Yunnan banishment
When Shen Wansan was demoted, 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.
5. Bury in your hometown
Shen Wansan spent the last few years of his life in Yunnan Border Region and died in a foreign land. Relatives around him transported his bones back to Zhouzhuang, the ancient town where he started, and buried them under Yinzibang. 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.
