Ji Gang had to lose his composure because Shen Wansan was so famous.
There is a folk proverb in the Ming Dynasty: "Shen Wansan in Nanjing is like a dead willow tree in Beijing. A person's name is like the shadow of a tree." Shen Wansan's deeds are so legendary among the people that Ji Gang has long admired his name.
Shen Wansan is from Nanxun Town, Huzhou. Of course, he does not have a "cornucopia". In fact, Shen Wansan made his fortune in agriculture. It was the land of the Shen family, who became a famous big landowner in the south of the Yangtze River. [bsp; Later, Lu Daoyuan, a wealthy Wujiang businessman from Jiangzuo, became a monk and gave all his assets to his friend Shen Wansan. As a result, Shen Wansan This is equivalent to doubling his wealth. After that, he began to engage in overseas trade, taking advantage of Baiyan's convenience of connecting the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the west and the Liuhe River in the east to transport silk, ceramics, grain and handicrafts from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to overseas. Businessmen The huge profits quickly made him the leading rich man in the country. When the people of Jiangnan rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, he speculated again. First, he funded the most powerful Zhang Shicheng. After the rise of Zhu Yuanzhang, he funded Zhu Yuanzhang and made a lot of war fortune, thus becoming the God of Wealth. symbol of.
This kind of wealthy and wealthy family became an inevitable target after Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world. In the sixth year of Hongwu, Shen Wansan was exiled to Yunnan on an unfounded charge. He died of illness not long after, and all his property was confiscated. .However, the Shen family is so rich that some of the family property they had previously hidden could still allow the Shen family to gain a foothold in Jiangnan.

However, once a person loses his luck, misfortune will follow one after another. In the spring of the 19th year of Hongwu, the Shen family was involved in a lawsuit due to a land tax dispute. Shen Wansan's two grandsons came to Shen, and Shen Zhuang was imprisoned. Shen Zhuang was imprisoned that year. Died in prison.
In the 31st year of Hongwu's reign, Shen Wansan's son-in-law Gu Xuewen was implicated in a rebellion. Gu Xuewen's family and six members of the Shen family were ""Ling Chi on the same day"". More than 80 people were killed and their property was confiscated. This time, the Shen family was completely in decline.
Shen Wendu knew that because of his father Shen Wansan's incident, the Shen family had been branded with a certain political symbol. If the Shen family wanted to rise again, their business ability was no longer enough. They had to climb up to a big shot in the court, so he put all his family's private affairs into his own hands. He took out the remaining treasures he had hidden and ran to Nanjing City to find a way out.
In fact, it was not Ji Gang who Shen Wendu originally wanted to join, but Yang Xu. Yang Xu was the Duke of the country and was particularly prestigious in the Jiangnan area, and it was also Yang Xu who vigorously promoted maritime trade, which was very popular with Shen Wendu. He took advantage of the opportunity to assist the Duke. It was a good opportunity for the young master to be born, and Shen Wendu also blended in with the gift-giving crowd and ran to the Yang family to give gifts.
The gift he gave was too heavy. Naturally, the steward of Fuguo Palace couldn't treat him as an ordinary person, so he immediately reported it to Xia Xun. He was an ordinary friend who had business dealings with the Yang family's shops, so he met him in person.

As soon as he explained his identity and purpose of coming, Xia Xun flatly refused and kicked him out even with the gift. Shen Wendu was disappointed when he unexpectedly ran into a fortune teller. When the fortune teller first started talking, he thought he was a fortune teller. It was an ordinary way to attract business, but the fortune teller described his life story and the prosperity and decline of his family completely accurately. Shen Wendu couldn't help but think about it, and asked the fortune teller for advice.
He turned to Ji Gang because of the advice of the physiognomist. After he came to the capital, he also heard about the grudge between Duke Fu and Ji Gang. Naturally, he would never tell anyone what happened. .In fact, even if Ji Gang and Yang Xu were still friendly, there was no way he would mention this matter. You chose someone else first, and then you settled for the next best thing if they didn't accept you. Am I the second best? Of course Shen Wendu would not make this mistake.
The name of a person is the shadow of a tree. Because of Shen Wansan's famous name, Ji Gang did not take Shen Wendu lightly. When Shen Wendu explained his idea of joining him, Ji Gang felt very happy.
Ji Gang now mainly makes money in the capital, but there are many inconveniences under the emperor's nose after all. He has just reached out to outside the capital. Chang Yinglin, the prefect of Huzhou, is the first money-making machine he cultivated. As a result, Chang Yinglin After being axed by Xia Xun, he still hadn't found a suitable agent for a while.

Based on the Shen family's good business methods at that time, Ji Gang had no doubt about Shen Wendu's ability to make money. As for the fact that the Shen family was feared by the royal family and was constantly attacked, Ji Gang felt that it had been so many years and the Shen family had completely It didn't matter to him that it was ruined, so he agreed immediately. Ji Gang accepted the generous gift from Shen Wendu, and then asked Shen Wendu to be his agent and return to Jiangnan to help him make money and officialdom. He would settle whatever troubles he encountered. With Ji Gang's temperament, he was not willing to engage in business and make money, so his suggestions for Shen Wendu were inevitably illegal.
Shen Wendu's family fortune of over 100 million yuan was now so dilapidated, and he couldn't wait to get rich again. He naturally understood Ji Gang's instructions, and immediately catered to his wishes, and proposed many creative ideas. Ji Gang was overjoyed and approved them one by one. The two people hit it off immediately. This led to a close business partnership.

Zhu Neng's burial place was finally determined. According to the instructions of Qin Tianjian, Zhu Neng was selected on Beize Mountain in front of Beizhai Village, Huairou County, Beijing Prefecture. The captured Annan people were also released. From then on, he became Duke Chengguo from generation to generation. Guard the grave.
Most of the civil and military officials did not understand why the emperor buried his beloved wife in the faraway place of Beijing. The only reasonable explanation could only be that General Zhu had once guarded Peiping with the emperor. The emperor wanted to Let the heroic spirit of General Zhu continue to guard the northern border for the Ming Dynasty.

Only after Xia Xun heard the news, he looked at the map with reference to Qin Tianjian's explanation from Feng Shui, and understood in his heart: "The emperor's intention to move the capital has been decided! Even his own burial place has been decided in secret!"
Beize Mountain is located in the same mountain range as the Ming Tombs in Changping County. According to the Feng Shui theory of the Ming Dynasty, the location of the Ming Tombs is the dragon's head and Beize Mountain is the dragon's tail. The Feng Shui is indeed good. Zhu Di buried Zhu Neng there. It is Prepare for the monarch and his ministers to still be together a hundred years later.
In the Jinshen Hall, Zhou Yun, the supervisor of Qin Tian, reported to Zhu Di: "... the supervisor of Qin Tian has sent people to Beijing Mansion to choose an auspicious time to break the ground and build a tomb." Zhu Di nodded, and Zhou Yun paused. Then he said: "The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. This is the list of people who will participate in the sacrifices that I have prepared. Please take a look at it." As he said this, he presented a list with both hands.
On the day of Zhu Yuanzhang's death, a big sacrifice is inevitable. As for other ancestor worship festivals, it is up to the emperor to decide whether to hold a big sacrifice or a small sacrifice. Two days ago, he had asked Zhu Di for instructions. Zhu Di said that this year, besides the royal family, there will be no small sacrifice.
Just bring a few close ministers with you and ask them to go back and draw up a list. If a minister's zodiac sign or horoscope conflicts with the time of worshiping the mausoleum, you can naturally not bring them with you.
Zhu Di said "Huh", took the list, browsed it hastily, and asked: "Why is there no Yang Xu? Is there any conflict between his zodiac sign, horoscope and the sacrifice to the mausoleum?"

After the White Lotus Religion Case, the emperor seemed to be a little distant from Fu Guogong, and many officials had a taste of it. The news that the eldest son of the Yang family had sealed the title of General Wude as soon as he was born has not spread yet, so no one knows that the emperor has feelings for Yang.
Xu's attitude changed again. When Zhou Yun drafted the list, he didn't include Yang Xu. This was because he was trying to figure out what he wanted. He didn't want to flatter him, which was obviously a mistake.
Zhou Yun said awkwardly: "Uh..., no..., I just wanted to... oh, there has just been a happy event in the Duke of Fuguo's family..."
Zhu Di understood, glanced at him and said: "What does this have to do with paying homage to the late emperor? Add it!"
Zhou Yun quickly agreed: "Yes, yes!"
Zhu Di glanced at him again and said calmly: "Just do your own thing well, don't think about it, don't get involved!"
"Yes yes yes!"
Zhou Yun quickly agreed and retreated, and when he stood in the corridor, he was already covered in cold sweat.

The back house of Fu Guogong's mansion is covered with thick shade like a canopy.
In the small building, Ming'er was taking a nap with her son.
In the garden, several little girls were laughing and chasing each other, like butterflies flying through flowers, ducking into the flowers from time to time and coming out from there.
These are five little girls, the leader is Tang Sai'er.
Tang Saier originally went to Xia Xun's house with his mother and Granny Qiu to deliver wedding cakes to celebrate the birth of the young father-in-law. While the adults were talking, the children started playing together, and they fell in love with each other all of a sudden. Xia Xun looked at
They got along so well and were very happy. Since Tang Sai'er was an old friend, Xia Xun didn't want her to just be a magician at such a young age, so he told the Tang family's wife to ask her to practice martial arts.
Come to the house every day and study with Si Yang and Si Xun.

If there is a better development, the Madam of the Tang family certainly does not want her daughter to be registered as a citizen. The national status is always higher. Therefore, although the Madam of the Tang family does not want to trouble her benefactor, the matter involves her daughter's background and future. In the end, it is
After agreeing, Tang Saier became a frequent visitor to the Yang family.
Tang Saier is one year younger than Xia Xun's eldest daughter, but when she is with them, she is like a boss. In just a few days, the four eldest ladies of the Yang family have all become her subordinates and are commanded by her.
Looking at this and that, they still enjoy it, even Siyu, who is the most evil-minded and the most difficult to control, is no exception.
Xia Xun sat in the small pavilion, listening to the chirping of birds, smelling the fragrance of flowers, smiling and watching them play, and thought to himself: "No wonder he can be the leader of the rebel army, and he can do such great things as a daughter. He has really been there since he was a child.
You have talent!”
Xia Xun was sighing with emotion when the second steward tiptoed over, stopped outside the pavilion, bowed his head and said, "Sir, just now the Qintian Prison sent news that tomorrow, the Double Ninth Festival, requires me to accompany the royal family to pay homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum!"
"oh?"
After hearing this, Xia Xun's expression changed. The previous emperor issued a decree to give his son a special official title. Ming'er had already told him that he knew it. Hearing this decree again today, Xia Xun felt in his heart
The feeling became even more certain: "It's only been a month, do you think I have to leave the cold palace?"
