Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

Hanyang County.

Jiang Guang is boasting about his wealth with others. He has a goatee, and his small eyes reveal shrewdness, but this shrewdness is on the surface. People always think that this person is not shrewd, and he can call it with a little effort. He fell into the trap. According to Jiang Guang's words: "You can't do business with a simple face. This is what makes people feel uneasy. If you really are a honest person, you can still become a businessman? At most, you can deceive the ordinary people."

Although he joined Lin Yuan's school early, he has been walking between the capitals, making friends, and using money to open the doors of many officials. Jiang Shang’s name is also considered small and famous among businessmen, after all, he can be like him. There are a lot of rich people, and they often spend a lot of money, even if they just buy a humble gadget, they can’t just buy it and give it to the next person.

Jiang Guangzheng was drinking with his new friend. He was extremely hard-working with this new friend. The friend was Ni Wenjun's confidant. Although he could not be called the right arm, he was quite blue-eyed.

Jiang Guang used countless gold and silver jewelry to pile up this friend.

Although his friends don't think much of him, and although the Yuan Dynasty emphasized business, the long-standing tradition still made many people think that merchants were cheap.

"Brother Zhou, please use it." Jiang Guang poured a glass of wine for his friend. This wine is rice wine. People call it sweet water. It doesn't taste very much, and it smells like alcohol when drinking it. Friends love this, but they don't drink strong alcohol.

Brother Zhou drank a glass of rice wine, and everyone had to be held, especially by Jiang Guang. Jiang Guang held a lot of people. It not only makes people feel comfortable, but also does not make people feel that exaggeration is sinister, and Jiang Guang's support , Not just verbal support, he almost sincerely intended to do anything for the other party.

Being praised to the extreme, few people will refuse and dislike it.

Brother Zhou sullenly said: "If Boss Jiang asks for anything, if Zhou can sit down, he will not refuse."

Jiang Guang smiled: "I admire Zhou brother's integrity. Brother Zhou looked at me. He was homeless and had no relatives and friends. He had been busy for most of his life. The wind came and rained, earning wealth, but he had no time to enjoy it. Even the servants in the house have a better life than me."

Brother Zhou also seemed to feel reasonable and sighed: "Who said no? I am similar to Boss Jiang."

The two chatted and talked about the current grain output. Jiang Guang accidentally revealed: "It was said before that the world will be chaotic. Jiang received a lot of grain and waited for the world to be chaotic and sell it at a good price. When I forget, the grain has become Chen Liang. If it is sold at a low price, I will not bear it. If it is sold at a high price, the people cannot afford it. It seems that it is a loss..."

Brother Zhou's eyes lit up, but he quickly restrained: "How much food do you have?"

Jiang Guang looked around, it seemed that he was afraid of being seen by others, and he didn't dare to speak out. He just made a gesture.

Brother Zhou understood, and the smile on his face became more sincere: "Boss Jiang, don't talk to me. Friends should help each other. I have a way to deal with this food."

Jiang Guang looked very excited: "What can I do? Brother Zhou, for the food, I have been so worried that I haven't had a good night's sleep."

This brother Zhou had always suspected that Jiang Guang was approaching his own ulterior motives. After all, Jiang Guang had never asked for it. A businessman, he wanted nothing more than that. If you want to do business, you must be covered by someone. The strong dragon can't beat the local snake, but Jiang Guang didn't mention it, he always pretended to be stupid. Anyway, there were some. The gold and silver wares at home and the jewelry on the heads of his wife and daughter were all sent by Jiang Guang. He didn't lose money anyway and took advantage of it for nothing.

Now he knows that Jiang Guang is not asking for nothing. The money he needs for the grain is much more than the gold and silver that Jiang Guang gave him. If this business is done, Jiang Guang will not have to go out in his life. Do business.

Jiang Guang asked for something, but Brother Zhou was relieved.

"I will give you an answer in three days." Brother Zhou himself was not sure whether to receive food.

Although he is Ni Wenjun’s confidant, Ni Wenjun didn’t tell him everything. He knew that Ni Wenjun had the idea of ​​rebelling to overthrow Xu Shouhui, but he didn’t know when Ni Wenjun was going to get up and whether the food would be resolved. I promised Jiang Guang, isn't this slap his own face?

Face is still very important in a person's life.

Jiang Guang felt that this matter was already pretty stable.

He and Brother Zhou broke up in front of the restaurant, and each got into the carriage. Jiang Guang’s old servant helped Jiang Guang get into the carriage. After Jiang Guang sat down, the carriage slowly moved forward. The old servant handed Jiang Guang a bowl of sober soup. Just drank it, sweet water is not big, but not small.

The old servant asked in a low voice, "Sir?"

Jiang Guang smiled and said: "What is there?"

If the talk is over, he will add some medicine to the grain and grass as soon as the war begins. There is a common herbal medicine that is ground into powder and mixed in, which can make people feel dark.

The soldiers were all clutching their stomachs to have a diarrhea, might they have any power to fight?

But it can only be mixed when Lin Yuan fights over.

When Ni Wenjun was fighting Xu Shouhui, the food was still good.

A satisfied smile appeared on Jiang Guang's face.

He is a businessman, and what he wants is very simple, that is, profit and money.

As long as he can make money, let him abandon his ancestors and change his name.

But this also requires gambling, and Jiang Guang feels that his gambling luck has been very good.

Jiang Guang wanted to send out his food, but Lin Yuan received food from many people. The food would be sampled and eaten by the animals first. If the animals are fine, they will naturally be left as army food. If the animals have problems, then Those who send it will be unlucky.

Those who can hold a large amount of grain and grass in troubled times are wealthy businessmen and are difficult to counterfeit. Therefore, who sent each batch of grain has a clear record, including name, characteristics, and age.

Lin Yuan glanced at it and saw a familiar name on the list-Shen Fu.

When he was a teenager, he watched a TV series about Shen Wansan and knew that Shen Wansan's real name was Shen Fu and Zi Zhongrong.

Wan San is just a respectful name given to him by the society.

Although Shen Fu was a wealthy businessman at this time, he was not a huge wealth, nor could he be a wealthy country.

Lin Yuan looked at the comments from the next officer Liang, to the effect that the grains sent by Shen Fu were coarse and fine, the coarse grains were full, and the fine grains were all new grains. To sum up, this person was very generous and the quality was good.

So Lin Yuan asked someone to bring Shen Fu to him. He also wanted to know what the most famous richest man in history looked like, was he fat, or a loyal and honest appearance?

As a result, Lin Yuan was dumbfounded as soon as the person came up.

This is an old man, he is very well maintained, he wears silk satin, but these can not conceal his old manner, he looks kind and gentle, although he is old, but his waist is very straight, he saw Lin Lin Yuan knelt and bowed, and Lin Yuan waited for a few seconds to wake him up.

"How old is Lao Zhang now?" Lin Yuan felt strange. He was almost 70 when he looked like this. According to the historical clues he knew, Shen Wansan would have been over a hundred years old when he was exiled. Zhu Yuanzhang would be exiled. An old man over a hundred years old?It doesn't conform to the bottom line of social tradition. After all, the tradition of "respecting the elderly" has always existed since ancient times.

Shen Fu's voice is very old, and there are some hoarseness. He looks like a late old man, with the kindness that years have bestowed on him. He said: "The Caomin only celebrated his 60th birthday last year."

At the age of sixty, it is considered a long life, no matter where he is, he should be invited as a guest.

Lin Yuan stood up and smiled: "Lao Zhang, sit down."

Regarding Shen Fu's exile by Zhu Yuanzhang, is it a folklore or a historical record?Lin Yuan was sure that what he knew should be the official history. There are records in the history books, so Zhu Yuanzhang exiled a more than 100-year-old man?

Shen Fu didn't rush to face Lin Yuan, he first said his intention: "Share your worries for the South Bodhisattva."

Then he throws out his son: "The Caomin has a son who is famous and honorable. Although he is not talented, he is also honest and willing to work. It is not too hard to do everything."

Finally stated his position: "But after saddling the horse for the South Bodhisattva, I will try my best."

Lin Yuan smiled at him and said: "Lao Zhang's mind is clear. Once Lao Zhang is here, you don't need to rush to go. You don't need to rush to stay here. Runing is a long way from Suzhou, and the traffic is overwhelming. I wonder if Lao Zhang's son will follow? "

Shen Fu had a gray beard, and he smiled at Lin Yuan: "Naturally, my son is a born stupid man. He only knows to behave and never has his own ideas. If I leave him alone at home, I am afraid that I will provoke him. A lot of trouble."

At this time, Shen Fu was not the richest man in Suzhou, but one of the Big Three.

He is now looking for a big tree to shelter himself from wind and rain and earn more wealth.

"In that case, I'll see you tomorrow." Lin Yuan asked, "What do you think of Lao Zhang?"

Shen Fu bowed his head and bowed respectfully: "Listen to Nan Bodhisattva's instructions."

When the next person led Shen Fu to leave, Lin Yuan opened the list and continued to look at it. There were many people who showed good intentions, but most of the food given is not too much, but the food is not old, enough to see that they pay attention to Lin Yuan, but This emphasis cannot be done to the point where it can be done.

Compared with them, Shen Fu is indeed generous. Unlike those people, Shen Fu is confident in himself. He believes in his own vision and his choices.

So he brought all the food he could take out, and also his son, leaving only his confidant and grandson at home.

Lin Yuan was about to say something, but saw Chen Baisong's expression of joy. This joy was so obvious that people could know his mood at a glance.

Lin Yuan teased him in a good mood: "So? Is this picking up money?"

Chen Baisong pursed his lips, but raised his eyebrows. He smiled and said: "The other day, I said that the rations are tight. Li Congrong's servant asked me to borrow the food. I borrowed it and didn't return it. I sent someone to ask him for it. He always said Decisively, I will pay it back in time, and I am also squeezed here. This time it is a relief to my urgent needs."

Lin Yuan thought of Li Congrong’s consumption of food, which was also a little overwhelming.

Li Congrong was a fool, and the military commander couldn't help him. When he had food, he would eat and drink with the soldiers, and starve when he didn't have any food.

There are no generals who have not borrowed food from him.

Lin Yuan: "Don't lend it to him next time, you tell him, if you don't do well, let him come back and be a servant for me, I don't dislike it."

This person is owed.

The author has something to say: There are different opinions on whether Shen Wansan was exiled.

The Ming History compiled by the Qing Dynasty stated that Shen Wansan was exiled by Zhu Yuanzhang during the Hongwu period.

However, the "Wujiang County Chronicles" compiled during the Qianlong period stated that "Zhang Shicheng was dead according to Wu Shiwansan, and Er Zimao and Wang Mi transported rice from Haidao to Yanjing."Zhang Shicheng's army occupied Wuhui in 1356, and Zhu Yuanzhang only established the Ming Dynasty in 1368.From this look, Shen Wansan passed away very early.

In other words, it is possible that Shen Wansan has always been a native of the Yuan Dynasty, born in the Yuan Dynasty, and died in the Yuan Dynasty.

And the age of Shen Wansan was estimated from the age of Shen Wansan's son.

Then it proved that Zhu Yuanzhang could not exile a one-hundred-year-old man (it was believed that the Ming History compiled by the Qing Dynasty deliberately discredited Zhu Yuanzhang)

In short, there are many controversies.

Qiqi is not here to express which statement he supports, but because the former has a more precise age range, the former is used.
