Shen Wansan, this is a famous figure, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, known as the God of Wealth, after Zhu Yuanzhang took Nanjing City, because the Nanjing city wall was in disrepair and damaged, so Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to rebuild the city wall, but it took money to repair the city wall, so he found Shen Wansan, Shen Wansan did not shirk it, and directly agreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to know this, but he didn't know what he was thinking about, so he wanted to compete with Shen Wansan to repair the city wall to see who built the city wall high, big and fast.

Shen Wansan agreed at that time, so he began to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang, and the result was that Zhu Yuanzhang won, Shen Wansan was very happy at that time, thinking that he was a great achievement, and he won the emperor, and there was a lot of face, so he celebrated happily.

But when Shen Wansan was celebrating happily, he didn't even consider Zhu Yuanzhang's mood, as the emperor of a dynasty, he lost the game and lost a lot of face, and what made Zhu Yuanzhang even more unhappy was that Shen Wansan was rich enough to rival the country, if this money was used in other aspects, such as rebellion, he would definitely not be able to bear it!

But Shen Wansan did work hard to fund the country to build the city wall, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't immediately turn his face and deny people, so Zhu Yuanzhang could only secretly remember it in his heart.

Why don't we talk about Zhu Yuanzhang's side, when Shen Wansan was celebrating the victory, a person suddenly came to Shen Wansan's mansion, this person was none other than Liu Bowen, a living immortal who was passed down by later generations.

Liu Bowen has a very good relationship with Shen Wansan, and he has a friendship, and Liu Bowen is also an important strategist under Zhu Yuanzhang, whose status is equivalent to Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty and Zhuge of Shu.

As soon as Shen Wansan saw Liu Bowen coming, he hurriedly ordered to arrange a banquet and invite Liu Bowen to have a drink, Liu Bowen listened to Shen Wansan's words and hurriedly waved his hand and said: I won't eat the wine, he just came to tell Shen Wansan this time, Shen Wansan is going to be in trouble.

Shen Wansan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked why, at this time Liu Bowen said: "In the action of building the city wall, although you have made great efforts, you should not win Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the hero, but your heart is not broad-minded, and you have revealed your financial resources in the process of repairing the city wall, which will be feared by Your Majesty, and there will be disasters in the future." ”

"And you won this time Your Majesty and celebrated, this is not looking for death or something, do you really think that Your Majesty is old and can't hold a knife?"

As soon as Liu Bowen finished saying this, Shen Wansan was stupid at that time, and hurriedly asked Liu Bowen how to remedy it, Liu Bowen thought about it; "A few days ago, I heard that you obtained a piece of fine Lantian mutton fat jade, and Your Majesty once wanted to pay for it to be used as a seal, but you didn't agree, and excused yourself by saying that this jade is of average quality, embarrassing and useful?"

As soon as Liu Bowen said this, Shen Wansan instantly remembered this matter, that piece of mutton fat jade is a very complete piece of jade, and the quality is absolutely cutting-edge, even if Shen Wansan has a lot of rare treasures in his hands, this treasure can also be ranked in the forefront, at that time Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to beg, Shen Wansan was so angry that he didn't shirk it, although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, but what Zhu Yuanzhang thought in his heart is unknown.

Hearing this, Shen Wansan looked at Liu Bowen and asked, "You mean to let me dedicate this jade to Your Majesty?" ”

Liu Bowen shook his head and nodded, Shen Wansan asked suspiciously, "Sir, what do you mean by nodding and shaking your head again?" ”

Liu Bowen smiled slightly when he heard this: "The meaning is very simple, it is to send jade, but you can't send the whole piece of jade, you have to carve the jade and send it to Your Majesty!" ”

"It's carved, what is it carved into, jade seal, what words are engraved on it, the emperor's imperial treasure?"

Shen Wansan looked at Liu Bowen and said, Liu Bowen stretched out his hand to interrupt when he heard this: "You are looking for death, you dare to carve the emperor's imperial treasure, this thing makes people find out that it is a rebellion, a capital crime!" ”

Shen Wansan was stunned, and asked Liu Bowen stupidly: "Then sir, you say, don't carve it into a jade seal, such a good jade, what are you going to let me carve into a jade pendant?" ”

Liu Bowen shook his hand and said, "Roll the pin!" ”

Hearing this, Shen Wansan was furious at that time, and stood up and said, "What are you talking about, made into a rolling pin, isn't it useless to make such a good jade into a rolling pin?" ”

Shen Wansan glared at Liu Bowen and said, Liu Bowen nodded lightly when he heard this: "We just want to make this piece of jade wasted, otherwise how can you survive, make a rolling pin and send it to Your Majesty!" ”

Shen Wansan listened to Liu Bowen's words, and his whole person was not good, he looked at Liu Bowen and said: "Sir, can you change it to something else, can you not make it into a rolling pin, this, this is too tyrannical!" ”

Liu Bowen smiled bitterly when he heard this: "You don't have much choice, the only thing you can choose now is a rolling pin, for two reasons." ”

"First, Your Majesty likes to eat baked cakes, and you can't do without a rolling pin to make cakes, so you make a rolling pin and send it to Your Majesty, so it doesn't look abrupt."

"Second, the meaning of you sending a rolling pin is also the meaning of being soft, what is the function of the rolling pin, that is, you want this dough to be flat, he is flat, you want this dough to be square, this dough is square, this dough is square, this means that you have to be obedient, willing to let Your Majesty handle it!"

Liu Bowen looked at Shen Wansan and said, Shen Wansan hesitated slightly when he heard this: "Mr. Liu, is it the best choice to make such a good jade into a jade seal?" ”

Liu Bowen heard this and glanced at Shen Wansan and said: "Jade is a good jade, but he can do anything, the only thing he can't do is the jade seal, the reason is very simple, this is the destination you choose for it, it is you who told Your Majesty, this jade is of average material, it cannot be a jade seal, if you make this piece of jade into a jade seal, it is a bully, it is a capital crime!" ”

After Liu Bowen said this, Shen Wansan was already sweating profusely and didn't dare to say anything else, so he instructed the craftsman overnight to carve the fine Lantian jade into a rolling pin, and the next day he went to the noodle saint and gave it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang accepted it very happily, and personally rolled it twice on the dragon book case, saying that it was very convenient, so he let Shen Wansan go back, Shen Wansan thought that this was a life, but he didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang was vicious, and forgave Shen Wansan on the surface, but in the end he confiscated all of Shen Wansan's family property, and Shen Wansan himself was also sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to Nanyang, and finally died on the road, this is the life of the tragic Shen Wansan.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's rolling pin was preserved, and Zhu Yuanzhang liked it quite a bit, and he ordered the kitchen to use this rolling pin to make a few baked cakes for himself.

As a result, in the process of making cakes, the chefs discovered the extraordinaryness of this rolling pin!
