Chapter 794: Shen Wansan
There were still two days left before the start of school, and Huo Sining originally planned to deal with the affairs of Xianyu Fang and Guanyu Beauty during this time, and then let Li Quan start to prepare for the opening of the antique shop in Liulichang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But now that Gu Xu has come, she shelved these plans, and the two of them discussed and decided to go to Zhouzhuang near S City for a vacation.
Because Huo Sining made a big move in Fuzhou again, the major forums on the Internet are going viral, and the news about the golden silk jade and pigeon's blood ruby naturally can't be hidden, after Huo Sining returned to S City, the phone messages to inquire have not been interrupted, she simply turned off her mobile phone, threw it directly at home, and directly followed Gu Xu and the two to Zhouzhuang by car.
Su Qingqing, who was eager to stick to Huo Sining in the past, didn't follow this time, and left a space for these two people who were always in different places to be alone.
When they arrived in Zhouzhuang, the two of them first went to book a hotel, because it was not a holiday, so there were not many rooms in the hotel.
Seeing that Huo Sining asked the hotel staff for two rooms in an orderly manner, and saw the two connected room number plates, Gu Xu's eyebrows unconsciously raised, there seemed to be a ghostly light flashing in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked a treacherous smile.
Zhouzhuang, is a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, with the reputation of "China's first water town", was founded in 1086, because of the Yi people Mr. Zhou Digong donated land to build the Quanfu Temple and got the name.
Zhouzhuang has a long history, is a typical Jiangnan water town style, has a unique cultural landscape, is a treasure of Chinese water town culture and Wu Dihan culture.
Most of the buildings here are Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, only 0. The ancient town of 47 square kilometers has nearly 100 classical houses and more than 60 brick carved gatehouses, the ancient style of Zhouzhuang dwellings still exists, and 14 ancient bridges with their own characteristics are also preserved.
After driving for more than two hours to Zhouzhuang in the morning, Huo Sining and Gu Xu couldn't take a break, put down their luggage at the hotel, and began to visit the famous scenery of Zhouzhuang.
The town is Zeguo, surrounded by water, close to each other, all must be boated. Zhouzhuang Town is connected by the river into a street, and the bridge street is connected, which is a typical small bridge and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River.
Because it happened to rain in the second half of last night, the bluestone slabs on the road were still damp, but the weather had cleared, and the air was wet, but it was not too hot.
When you arrive in Zhouzhuang, of course, you can't go to the famous scenic spots to see, from the double bridge to the strange building to the eight views of Zhouzhuang, Huo Sining walked everywhere, and finally swam to the former residence of Shen Wansan, Huo Sining and Gu Xu waited in line outside the scenic spot.
The former residence of Shen Wansan, located in the east of Zhouzhuang Town, although it is imitated according to historical data and historical originals, but through the redesign and layout of these scenes, you can also see the general appearance of the Shen family's wealth and rival country.
"It is rumored that during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a rich man Shen Wansan in Shenjia Village, one day, the rich man dug an iron basin on the mountain, and his wife accidentally threw a ring in this iron basin......
Before entering the old residence, a travel agency on the side walked in with a large group of tourists, and the tour guide who walked in front began to tell the legend about Shen Wansan.
When talking about the cornucopia, some of the tourists in the group of tourists who followed couldn't help but ask: "Miss tour guide, does Shen Wansan really have such a cornucopia?"
The tour guide lady suddenly showed an embarrassed smile on her face, and someone next to her immediately sneered: "Definitely not, it's just a legend, how can there be such a thing in the world, if there really is, then as long as you get this basin, wouldn't it be developed? Then everyone is going to find this thing!"
The tourists immediately quarreled, and several people argued with reason, and they were red-faced.
The tour guide was not a historian, but when she saw the tourists under her arguing about such a thing, she immediately became anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't make noise, don't make noise!"
It's a pity that this tour guide is soft-spoken, and these tourists don't listen to her at all.
"Cornucopia naturally doesn't have it, the reason why Shen Wansan can have wealth that rivals the wealth of the country is because of his boldness and his keen financial vision. ”
At this moment, a man suddenly came out of the old house, and stopped the noise of these tourists, and with a smile in his eyes, he looked at these tourists and explained.
The tour guide lady thought that she often took this route, and when she saw the person who came out, her face suddenly changed, her eyes flashed with excitement and excitement, and there was a hint of apprehension and embarrassment: "Director Zou." ”
The tourists who were still arguing were all stunned when they saw the visitor, especially after hearing the tour guide call the other party director, they all stopped arguing, and stared at the person who suddenly interjected with curiosity and inquiry.
The tour guide lady also came back, and immediately introduced: "This is Director Zou of our Zhouzhuang Culture and Tourism Bureau, Director Zou has been specializing in Zhouzhuang culture for more than 30 years, and knows Zhouzhuang culture very well. ”
Director Zou nodded lightly at the tour guide, and then explained: "Shen Wansan started with hard work, and he can rise so quickly, I think it depends on three points." ”
When the tourists heard the tour guide say that Director Zou was a professional researcher of Zhouzhuang culture, their eyes immediately widened one by one, and they listened to Director Zou's analysis.
"At first, the Shen family also made a living from farming in Zhouzhuang, which has fertile land, mild climate and convenient irrigation, and has always been a good place to grow grain and rape, grow mulberry and raise silkworms. ”
Shen Wansan came here with his father, mainly relying on the development of agricultural production. One of the eight views of Zhouzhuang, "Dongzhuang Snow", depicts the scenery of Shen's Manor back then. ”
"In the Yuan Dynasty, Lu Deyuan, a wealthy man in Suzhou, admired Shen Wansan's ingenuity and business credit, so he gave it all to Shen Wansan, and went to the Kering Pavilion by Chenghu Lake to become a Taoist. ”
On the one hand, Shen Wansan continued to open up farmland, and on the other hand, he used Zhouzhuang, which was well developed by waterway, as a base for commodity trade and circulation, and transported silk, porcelain, grain, and handicrafts from the interior to overseas, and also transported overseas jewelry, ivory, rhino horn, spices, and medicinal materials to China, and began foreign trade activities. ”
"So I think that the cornucopia is just nonsense, the reason why Shen Wansan has accumulated so much wealth is because of the capital given to him by Lu Deyuan, his own vision, and the favorable waterway conditions given to him by Zhou Zhuang. (To be continued.) )
