Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 382 The secret behind Shen Wansan
Chapter 382 The secret behind Shen Wansan

Shen Wansan eventually ended up "donating" all his property and was then exiled.

Well, let’s deal with it this way, it’s very Zhu Yuanzhang!
At first glance, it was Lao Zhu who did it.

Not only do they want to kill people and squeeze their wallets clean, but they also want to pierce their hearts and not kill you, but give you an exile.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely ungrateful.

We have reached this point and still torment people like this.

But in Mr. Hu's opinion, this was already showing mercy to Mr. Zhu.

After all, Shen Wansan actually saved the lives of his entire family, including himself.

This is already rare.

It just so happened that there was nothing to do today. Mr. Hu rarely went to the Jiaofangsi and Xiangmantian, nor did he play mahjong with his concubine or discuss new skills.

He took Hu Yi to the ancestral hall, and there was no need for anyone else to wait on him. Just the two of them, master and servant, chatted slowly with two bowls of warm rice wine and several plates of soy beef, pig ears and other appetizers.

"Hu Yi, how do the outside world evaluate Shen Wansan?"

Hu Yi slowly put down the wine bowl in his hand, smacked his lips and thought for a moment.

"Half and half!"

"Everyone in the official circles knows that Shen Wansan has violated a taboo, befriending courtiers without any cover-up, and has already planned to kill him."

"But the people have some sympathy for Shen Wansan. They feel that His Majesty is a little harsh when he sentences him to exile after handing over his family property!"

Mr. Hu sneered when he heard this.

"Harsh?"

"Is an exile considered harsh?"

"Then they don't want to think about how they dealt with Yang Xian, Li Shanchang, and Wang Guangyang before?"

"In terms of status, which of these people just now is not ten or a hundred times stronger than Shen Wansan?"

"In terms of making friends with courtiers, is it possible that Shen Wansan knows more merchants than these veteran bureaucrats who have been prime ministers?"

"Hey, to put it bluntly, these are just a bunch of scared people trying to embarrass Your Majesty through the mouths of the common people!"

Hu Yi was stunned when he heard this and looked at his master in disbelief.

"No way?"

"It's okay if you don't know about His Majesty's temper, but if he finds out that someone does this, then that person's whole family may not be able to survive."

Mr. Hu raised his eyebrows happily.

"That's right!"

"But, some people just don't believe it!"

"It's just that my desires are hard to satisfy. I always feel that my family earns too little and earns too hard."

"They wish they could just lie at home and do nothing every day, while the money keeps pouring into their homes!"

Speaking of this, Mr. Hu's expression is simply not too disgusting.

"They think very well, but why don't they think about it? Zhu Chongba also wants such a good thing!"

Hu Yi nodded understandingly.

After his master reminded him, he understood.

To put it bluntly, it's just greed.

Everyone wants to make more money, and they want to make it easy, so naturally they don’t want to follow the rules.

Gee!

Shen Wansan seemed to be here because of his own business, but there was most likely someone behind it. Otherwise, Shen Wansan could have done it secretly. Why would he come to Yingtian Mansion even though he knew Zhu Yuanzhang had objections to him?

If he really liked seeking death so much, I'm afraid Shen Wansan would have killed himself in the past years.

This is what Mr. Hu has just figured out in the past two days.

Before, he always felt that Shen Wansan's behavior was a bit incomprehensible.

But if there were still a bunch of people standing behind him, it would be understandable that things would reach this point.

Of course Shen Wansan was a little stupid and didn't see the danger behind it, so he was miserably deceived.

But this also indirectly explains why from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, no one else succeeded, but Shen Wansan, who had been silent before, became the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

Now it seems that this is not his strength alone.

Although he does have a bit more vision, means, and courage than others of this era, he cannot do without the support of the people behind him.

Otherwise, do you really think that the county magistrate who broke up the family and the governor who exterminated the family was joking?
It's just a big business, or a businessman. If you kill it, you'll kill it. What else can you do?
It is precisely because of the unique ecology of this era that nine out of ten people have been behind Shen Wansan since he started.

As it grew and grew, there were even more people standing.

Maybe these people are inconspicuous, but it cannot be said that their momentum is not enough.

At least, being able to support Shen Wansan's arrogant life to this day, achieve such a great reputation and accumulate such a fortune is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

Mr. Hu and Hu Yi briefly discussed these matters and said nothing more.

There is actually nothing to say about this kind of question.

It cannot be said to be commonplace, but it can be said to be commonplace.

Even after a thousand years, there will still be some second-generation and wealthy families who come out with white gloves to make money.

Even this phenomenon can be found all over the world, not too many.

Mr. Hu himself has a few shops that even though they don’t have his name on them, everyone knows that the ones standing behind them are his.

This is just the rule of this era, there is nothing to say.

Today, Mr. Hu has become more determined in his stated goal of selling everything in a bad way.

This goal must not be shaken!
Now the Hongwu reign will last for more than ten years.

The further back you go, the higher the risk may be, so you still have to pay attention.

But thinking about it on the other hand, as long as the next generation of old Zhu's burp takes over, everything will be fine for Mr. Hu.

However, when he thought about the next generation, Mr. Hu suddenly thought of Zhu Biao's health problems.

This matter is no small matter.

If Zhu Biao had not succeeded to the throne, the Ming Dynasty would have been in chaos visible to the naked eye.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, since he insisted on the eldest son inheritance system, the emperor's grandson must take over the throne.

But among the emperor's grandchildren, how could he be able to suppress his uncles at that age?
How can vassal kings like Zhu Laosi and others with heavy troops be so easy to dismiss?
Therefore, only Zhu Biao can sit in that position safely.

Only where Zhu Biao sits will no problems occur.

Because others are not even qualified to compete.

Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong turned to look at Hu Yi and said, "Look for an opportunity to send a message to Xiao Yue'er and ask her to keep an eye on the prince's body."

"The fat boy is just puffy and his physique is actually not that good."

"Let Xiao Yue'er keep an eye on her and don't cause any trouble then!"

Hu Yi didn't know why the topic suddenly turned to this.

However, since the master told me, he would just do it.
