After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 151 Shen Wansan, Minister of Commerce of Daming

"And they are all good changes, allowing Daming to gradually become prosperous."

"And it's still rapidly prospering and growing."

"Emperor Zhu himself is an extremely powerful, skilled, and courageous emperor. Now, with the expert behind him... It's hard to imagine what the future of Daming will look like." Shen Wansan said.

"One of the two is bright and the other is dark. It's a perfect match."

"The emperor is the most courageous, skilled, and able to fight the emperor in ancient and modern times, and that person has a strategy, and he can be called the number one in ancient and modern times."

"With the cooperation of the two of them, Daming will surely become the first prosperous dynasty in Qianqiu."

Emperor Zhu was the only emperor who was able to recover the Sixteen States of Yanyun, which had been lost for 400 years, and the only emperor who succeeded in the Northern Expedition.He was the best commander in the early Ming Dynasty, the best counselor and strategist, and the best logistics and political talent.

He is better than Li Shimin, Li Shimin has a strong family background and the emperor is still his cousin.

"But no matter what, our Shen family still has to keep that person's kindness in our hearts forever. It was he who changed my Shen Wansan's embarrassing fate and our Shen family's fate." Shen Wansan sighed sincerely, "If it wasn't for that person, The emperor will never take me so seriously."

"Who said no, that person is really our noble man!"

"It's a pity that we don't know how to repay him if we want to repay him, because we can't enter Lujia Village at all." Lu Chunxiang said, "We can't even meet him."

"We are just insignificant little people, and we are not qualified to thank him in person." Zhao Xuue said, "We can only remember his kindness in my heart."

"You all go down and rest, sir, I will immediately draw up a statement for the emperor to regulate all domestic merchants, as well as overseas trade." Shen Wansan said, "There are too many doorways, it is estimated that it will take several days to finish. "

"We'll help you." Zhao Xue'e said

Shen Wansan's two wives are also from a business family, and they are his right-hand man in business.

With their help, the efficiency will be greatly improved.

"In addition, after I became the Minister of Commerce, I didn't have much energy to manage the Shen family's shops." Shen Wansan said, "The emperor asked me to divide a large part of our business to other merchants. What the emperor meant was To make the entire business of Daming prosper, it cannot be dominated by one family."

"The emperor did the right thing, a single family is not good for the business of the entire Ming Dynasty!" Lu Chunxiang said, "Now that you are a minister of the Ministry of Commerce, you really don't have that much energy to take care of your own business."

"And the money earned is too much, and it's not very useful." Zhao Xuue said.

In ancient times, because the status of merchants was too low, it was difficult for money to change their social status.The only way for the ordinary class to change their status is to study and get famous.

Silver can't change his status, and too much money is easy to be jealous of the government and the court, and bring disaster to him.

When he proposed to reward the army for Zhu Yuanzhang that year, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a rage: "A person who rewards the army of the world is a disorderly people, and should be punished."Fortunately, Queen Ma interceded, and he survived.

In Shen Wansan's eyes, silver was just a symbol, far inferior to that of a seventh-rank official.

Now that he has become a fourth-rank official, of course, he will no longer regard silver as so important.

In the past, the reason why he made so much money was mainly because he had a talent for business and enjoyed the process of making money. Making money was not his real purpose.But now his purpose in life has changed.

"We must repay the emperor's kindness. We should do our best to help the emperor and do our part for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and the goods and the emperor's family." Zhao Xue'e said.

At this time, their family had the same mind, that is, to take care of Daming's business.

As for the previous business, it can be completely abandoned.

……

"Master, the owners of major shops in Yingtian Mansion have already arrived outside the door. A total of more than 50 people have come, each carrying a heavy gift, and want to ask to see the master." At this time, the servant entered the door and reported.

"Everyone is put in, let them take them back as they are." Shen Wansan was surprised, "They want to give me money for Shen Wansan?"

Shen Wansan's assets are 20 billion. Even if the emperor took 5000 million, he still has 5000 million.And the last time Hua Yunlong went to Korea, he made a lot of money back.

Outside the gate.

"Every boss, please put down the gifts, Master Shen will not accept them." Menzi said to the crowd, and he became arrogant, "Master's first day as an official, you want to make Master make mistakes?"

"Yes, yes, we can't hurt Master Shen." The crowd said after hearing this.Then put down the gift and let the next person carry it back.The boxes they carried were full of gold and silver jewelry, and even valuable antique calligraphy and paintings, and precious porcelain.

A Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty can be worth tens of thousands of taels at this time. The authentic works of Li Bai and Yan Zhenqing are also worth thousands of gold.

The 5000 million taels of silver that Shen Wansan gave to the emperor last time was only worth 5000 million, not all silver.Among them are many precious jade articles of antique calligraphy and painting, South Sea coral and overseas pearls, and fifteen carriages are completely enough.

The crowd followed the door into the Shen residence empty-handed.

"Congratulations to Boss Shen, congratulations to Boss Shen." As soon as he entered the door, the crowd congratulated him. "Oh, no, we shouldn't call him Boss Shen anymore, we should call him Lord Shen!" said the shopkeeper Zhang.

"Yes, yes, yes." The crowd echoed, "Caomin sees Lord Shen."

"Don't be polite, shopkeepers, please take a seat." Shen Wan said.

"Boss Shen can win the favor of the current emperor and become a high-ranking member of the court, which is really a role model for me and other merchants!" said the shopkeeper Zhang.

"Treasurer Zhang is right." Shopkeeper Li of Hongtongbuzhuang said, "Since ancient times, we merchants have always been difficult to enter the hall. We have never been an official in the court. Mr. Shen is the No. 1 pioneer."

"That's right, Mr. Shen used to be the No.1 in our business world. Now he's even a court official, and his achievements are beyond our reach." Another shopkeeper said.

"It is also a great honor for all of us businessmen to be able to enter the court and become an official. Lord Shen has made a name for our business people, and won glory. With the benchmark of Lord Shen, the world will not be able to underestimate us in the future."

"That's right! Lord Shen is amazing."

……

Hearing that the shopkeepers and bosses kept praising and complimenting him, Shen Wansan smiled.I felt comfortable all over my body, like eating ginseng fruit, I almost floated up, and said a few symbolic words of modesty in my mouth: "The shopkeepers love Shen Wansan too much, and Shen Wansan does not dare to be."

"Master Shen is now an official of the Ministry of Commerce, and I hope you will take care of me in the future." After a while of compliment, Manager Zhang said.
