Chapter 181: Cornucopia
Speaking of the more powerful people in the Ming Dynasty, in my heart, the first person is not the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, but Wang Shouren, a figure with the same name as Confucius and Mencius, and a character named Zhu Xi, and called Confucius, Meng, Zhu, and Wang.
Wang Shouren was called the master of the study of the mind by later generations, also known as Mr. Yangming, and his doctrine and thought were called Yangmingxue.
Yangmingxue, also known as Wang Xue and Xinxue, as a school of Confucianism, can be traced back to Mencius at the earliest, and is a Confucian doctrine developed by Wang Shouren. According to Wang Shouren's life experience, he was obviously influenced by Taoism more than Buddhism, but after all, he did not depart from the essence of Confucianism, Wang Shouren inherited Lu Jiuyuan's emphasis on "the heart is the reason" of thought, and opposed Cheng Yi Zhu Xi's pursuit of "truth" through things and things. In the relationship between knowledge and action, it is emphasized that we must know, but also to act, know in action, know in action, the so-called "unity of knowledge and action", the two are inseparable from each other. Knowledge must be manifested as action, and if it is not done, it cannot be regarded as true knowledge.
Yangmingxue was one of the mainstream theories in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, which was later transmitted to Japan and had a great influence on Japan and East Asia.
In fact, few young people nowadays should know Wang Shouren, the Ming Dynasty is historically not a very magical or capable era, but in terms of wealth, there are few dynasties that can be compared with the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Shouren may be known to few people, but Shen Wansan's words, I believe everyone knows, after all, there are few people who study literary festivals, but there are more people who study money.
It is rumored that during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a rich man Shen Wansan in Shenjia Village, whose family owned nine hectares of land and employed more than 10 long-term and short-term workers.
One year, when there was a great drought, the grass and trees were about to die of drought, at this time, the grass-mowing maid in Shen Wansan's family cut a bundle of green and tender grass every day, and the days were long, Shen Wansan felt very strange, so he asked the grass-mower: "The weather is so dry, how can you cut so much good grass."
At that time, he did not tell the owner the truth about the place where the grass was cut.
Shen Wansan followed the lawnmower for a few days, peeked at him, and saw that he slept at the bottom of the Shenjia Bridge in the north of Shenjia Village every day, and slept until noon when there was no one, and then went to the Niudan Mountain in the north of the village to cut the grass.
One day, Shen Wansan forced the grass mower to lead him to the place where the grass was mowed, and he saw that there was a round grass growing on the ridge with green grass, so he asked the grass mower to cut, and then it came out again, cut fast, grow fast, Shen Wansan felt very strange, thought about it and figured it out, the southwest of this mountain is close to Phoenix Mountain, and the phoenix does not fall into the land of no treasure, and the next day he took two people there to dig out an iron basin.
Later, Shen Wansan bought a pig and fed the pig with it, the pig grew very quickly, after killing the pig, he used this basin to wash his hands and wash his face, once Shen Wansan's daughter-in-law washed her face, accidentally threw a ring into the basin, the more you fished the more, Shen Wansan knew, thought that this basin was a good thing, at that time it was said that there was a treasure cave on the mountain, and there were hairy people who watched treasures in the cave lived in it, since Shen Wansan got the treasure, the hairy people left.
The gap between the three rooms in the cave still exists.
After Shen Wansan got the treasure, he used the financial resources of the treasure pot. 72 wells were drilled for the villagers, and roads and bridges were built for the benefit of the villagers. A few years later, the Yangtze River burst, and it was speculated that there must be a treasure somewhere (it is said that the Yangtze River will be decided as soon as the baby appears...... )。
The emperor issued a notice "If anyone can block the Yangtze River breach, he will give it to whoever is a high-ranking official", after Shen Wansan knew, he unveiled the notice and took the treasure to Nanjing to negotiate the conditions with the emperor, and the emperor casually promised to "borrow four more and repay five more".
Shen Wansan came to the breach, took out the "cornucopia" and put a handful of soil in the breach, and immediately blocked the breach.
Then, Shen Wansan went to the court to ask for high-ranking officials Houlu, and went to the fifth watch to get the "cornucopia", who knew that he would wait until dawn to play the fourth watch drum, it is said that this is the emperor in order to deceive the treasure to change the five to the fourth watch, the south four north five said this.
Shen Wansan was detained when he arrived in the court and asked him about the treasure. And said that he would not sacrifice the treasure, the sin should be ten thousand deaths, the predecessors should be beheaded, and the nine clans should be destroyed. The grave of Shen Wansan's family was dug into a pit, and the people of Shenjing Village heard that Shen Wansan did not offer the treasure and committed the crime of destroying the door. Some fled, some changed their names and surnames, and the Shen family was extinct, and the wells in Shenjia Village were also filled.
Later, the people who moved here to settle down, in order not to forget Shen Wansan's kindness, pass it on to future generations, and never die, and renamed the village Shenjing Village, but so far there is no family surnamed Shen in Shenjing Village.
Shen Wansan's residence at that time was in the southeast corner of Shenjing Village, and during the ****** period, Wei of Shenjing Village uncovered a mysterious well when he was leveling the land.
The depth of the well is 12 meters, the diameter is 1.5 meters, the water level is 2.1 meters, the stone structure is complete, the surface layer is weathered and yellowed, this ancient well is the water well used by Shen Wansan in those years.
"Cornucopia" blocked the Yangtze River breach, become a large soil plain, and then engaged in construction on it, legend has it that the "cornucopia" has fallen under the Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing, during the Republic of China, the Kuomintang authorities heard that Shen Wansan's "cornucopia" was under the Zhonghua Gate, so they ordered to dig a hole to take the treasure, and as a result, they dug a big hole that could live in a company and did not find the treasure pot, it is said that the treasure pot returned to Shenjing Village, and later used as an air-raid shelter.
So far, there is still a small pit on the small hill of Niudan Mountain in the north of Shenjing Village, and there is no grass growing in the pit until now.
These are more orthodox records of Shen Wansan and the cornucopia, but if there are legends, there are many, after all, this is a very material world, throughout the ages, money can buy almost everything, when the wealth value of a task reaches a certain level, you can get in touch with things that ordinary people can never imagine, it was before, and it will be in the future......
Calculate the time, no matter how to say that this shipwreck burial has a history of nearly 1,000 years, and has gone through countless tidal and even earthquake changes, the seabed is different from the land, and when a tsunami and earthquake occur, it can easily completely change the topography of a place.
So all I can see now is these big pillars and those huge coral reefs, which certainly don't form in a day or two, and it's almost impossible to move them away from it.
Now the situation is a bit tricky, we must find a suitable place in the shortest possible time, make a robbery hole into it, and ensure that the gravity structure of the entire shipwreck tomb is not damaged, otherwise, the thief hole may hit the other half, and the entire tomb will collapse directly.
Shui Ling'er swam to the front, and with a gesture at us, she sped up, and I saw that she was like a nimble mermaid, and began to circle around the big pillars very quickly.
Looking at Shui Ling'er's figure, I couldn't help but start to fantasize, could Shui Ling'er really be a mermaid, if she showed her original form now, and she had an extra colorful tail, it would definitely look better.
But this mermaid is also recorded, it seems to be quite fierce, it can eat people, and it is also called the shark clan in the sea, which is definitely different from the gentle and lovely girl in front of me.
It was only a moment later that Shui Ling'er stopped next to a pillar and began to wave at us, signaling us to pass.
