"And they are all good changes, so that Daming gradually becomes prosperous."

"And it's still booming and growing."

"Emperor Zhu himself is an extremely powerful, skillful, and courageous emperor. Now plus the master behind him...... It's hard to imagine what the future of Daming will become. "Shen Wansandao.

"One of the two is in the light and the other is in the dark, it's a perfect match."

"The emperor is the most courageous, skillful, and capable emperor in ancient and modern times, and that person has a strategy, and he can be called the first in ancient and modern times."

"Under the joint efforts of the two of them, the Ming Dynasty will surely become the first prosperous dynasty of the thousand autumns."

Emperor Zhu was the only emperor who could recover the sixteen states of Yanyun that had been lost for 400 years, and the only emperor who succeeded in the Northern Expedition. He was the best commander in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the best strategist and strategist, and the best logistics and political talent.

He can fight better than Li Shimin, Li Shimin has a strong family background, and the emperor is still his cousin.

"But no matter what, our Shen family still has to remember that person's kindness forever. It was he who changed the embarrassing fate of my Shen Wansan and the fate of our Shen family. Shen Wansan sighed sincerely, "If it weren't for that person, the emperor would never have attached so much importance to me." ”

"Who's to say it's not, that person is really our great nobleman!"

"It's a pity that we don't know how to repay him if we want to repay him, because we can't enter Lujia Village at all." Lu Chunxiang said, "We can't even see him." ”

"We're just insignificant little people, and we don't have the right to thank him in person." Zhao Xue'e said, "I can only keep his kindness in my heart." ”

"You all go down and rest, my lord, I will immediately draw up a decree for the emperor to regulate all merchants in the country, as well as overseas trade." Shen Wansan said, "There are too many doorways, and it is estimated that it will take several days to write." ”

"We're here to help you." Zhao Xue'e said

Shen Wansan's two wives are also from a business family and are his right-hand men in business.

With their help, the efficiency will be much higher.

"In addition, after I became the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, I don't have much energy to manage the Shen family's shop." Shen Wansan said, "The emperor asked me to divide a large part of our business into other merchants. The emperor meant to make the entire business of the Ming Dynasty prosperous, and not one family alone. ”

"The emperor is doing the right thing, a monopoly is not good for the business of the entire Ming Dynasty!" Lu Chunxiang said, "Now that you are a secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, you really don't have so much energy to take care of your own business. ”

"And the money is too much money, and it's not much use." Zhao Xue'e said.

In ancient times, because the status of merchants was too low, it was difficult for money to change their social status. The only way for the ordinary class to change their status is to study and gain fame.

"One Sword Alone"

Silver can't change his status, and too much money is easy to be feared by the government and the court, and he will cause trouble.

When he proposed to sacrifice the army for Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and said: The army of the world should be punished for the troubled people. Fortunately, Queen Ma interceded, and he was spared.

Silver is just a symbol in Shen Wansan's eyes, far less real than a seventh-grade official.

Now that he has become a fourth-rank official, of course he will no longer regard silver as important.

In the past, the reason why he made so much money was mainly because he had a business talent and enjoyed the process of making money, and making money was not his real purpose. And now his purpose in life has changed.

"We must repay the emperor's kindness, we should do our best to help the emperor do things, do our part for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and bring goods to the emperor's family." Zhao Xue'e said.

At this time, their family has the same mind, that is, to manage Daming's business.

As for the previous business, it can be completely abandoned.

……

"Master, the owners of the major shops in Ying Tianfu have already arrived outside the door, and a total of more than fifty people have come, one by one, carrying heavy gifts, and want to ask to see the master." At this time, the servant came in and reported.

"Let everyone in, and let them take it back as it is." Shen Wansan was surprised, "They want to give me Shen Wansan silver?" ”

Shen Wansan's assets are two billion, even if the emperor takes 50 million, he still has 150 million. And the last time Hua Yunlong went to Goryeo, he earned a lot back.

Outside the gates.

"All the bosses, put down the gifts, Master Shen will not accept them." Menzi said to the crowd, and also became arrogant, "The first day the master was an official, you want the master to make mistakes?" ”

"Yes, yes, we can't hurt Master Shen." When the crowd heard this, they all said. Then put down the gift and let the next person carry it back. The boxes they brought were full of gold, silver, jewelry, and even valuable antique calligraphy and paintings, and precious porcelain.

A Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty can also be worth tens of thousands of taels at this time, and Li Bai's true works and Yan Zhenqing's real works are also worth thousands of gold.

The 50 million taels of silver that Shen Wansan gave to the emperor last time were only worth 50 million, not all silver. Among them, there are many antique calligraphy and paintings, precious jade, South China Sea corals, overseas pearls, and fifteen carriages are completely sufficient.

The crowd followed Menzi empty-handed into the Shen Mansion.

"Congratulations to Boss Shen, congratulations to Boss Shen." As soon as he entered, the crowd congratulated him. "Oh, no, we shouldn't call him Boss Shen, we should call him Lord Shen!" Shopkeeper Zhang said.

"Yes, yes, yes." The crowd echoed, "The grass people see Lord Shen." ”

"You don't have to be polite, shopkeepers, please take a seat." Shen Wan Sandao.

"Boss Shen can win the favor of the emperor today and become a member of the four grades of the imperial court, he is really a model for our businessmen!" Shopkeeper Zhang said.

"Shopkeeper Zhang is right." The shopkeeper Li of Hongtong Buzhuang said, "Since ancient times, our businessmen have been difficult to enter the hall, and they have never been officials in the court, and Lord Shen is the first person to open the world." ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Shen used to be the first person in our business world. Now he has become an official of the imperial court, and his achievements are beyond my expectations. Another shopkeeper said.

"Lord Shen can enter the court as an official, which is also a great honor for all our businessmen. Lord Shen has made a name for us businessmen and won glory. With Lord Shen as a benchmark, the world will no longer be able to underestimate us in the future. ”

"That's right! Lord Shen is amazing. ”

……

Hearing the shopkeepers and bosses, they kept praising and complimenting themselves, and Shen Wansan smiled. I felt comfortable all over my body, just like eating ginseng fruit, I was about to float up, and I said a few symbolic modest words in my mouth: "The shopkeepers love Shen Wansan too much, and Shen Wansan doesn't dare to be it." ”

"Lord Shen is now the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, and I hope to take care of us in the future." After a burst of compliments, Shopkeeper Zhang spoke.
