Shen Wanshan's prosperity turned to decline.
Shen Wansan is so rich that even Zhu Yuanzhang is jealous; However, after suffering three heavy blows from the Zhu Ming dynasty, it declined rapidly. The first attack was in the sixth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (AD 1373). According to Zhouzhuang Town Records and Ming History. During Hong Wushi, Shen Xiuzhe, who enriched the people, helped to build a third of the capital and asked the emperor to submit to the army. The emperor endured the sun: ordinary people surrendered, and the army of the world was also chaotic, and the punishment was appropriate. After the admonition day, the unlucky people will be punished by heaven, but your majesty will not punish them! Shi Xiu, who lives in Yunnan.

Besides Shen Wansan being exiled to Yunnan, his second son-in-law Yu Shishe was also exiled to Chaozhou. Prior to this, Shen Wansan built the wall from Hongwumen to Shuiximen. He also contributed 2,000 ingots of platinum, 200 Jin of gold and 0/0 person of Jiatu/KLOC. Ten chariots and horses, building Nanjing corridors, restaurants and so on. This blow not only made Shenyang lose Shen Wansan's head; Moreover, the wealth has also been reduced by more than half, which can be described as both human and financial. Moreover, when Shen Wansan was arrested at that time, there were many collective punishments in Zhouzhuang Town, and it was said that all the residents of Zhouzhuang were punished. Fortunately, Xu Min, a townsman, didn't escape the axe, so he went to the capital: only in this way did he save the whole Zhouzhuang town. The second blow was in the 19th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (AD 1386). In the spring of the 19th year of Hongwu, my brother went to work as a domestic servant, so when I went to Qiu Guan, Bosch was also convicted in Beijing, and he was suitable to go to prison with his brother (Zhouzhuang Town Records, Volume III). Tomb). This time, two sons of Shen Wansan's son and Shen Zhuang (Bo) were jailed for land tax. That year, Bo Xi died in prison and was later buried in Zhouzhuang Xing Village. In this way, the inheritance of Shenyang has been fundamentally shaken.

The third attack was in the thirty-first year of Hongwu (AD 1398). Wen Xue and Aquamarine conspired to capture Yan Xun, killing his wife and daughter and 72 families. In February of thirty-one years, he was censured by Hulan Party, and even three thousand great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great This time, Shen Wansan's son-in-law, Gu, a family of six and nearly 80 members of the Shenyang family were all killed and their fields were confiscated. Shen Wansan's huge family business, which was painstakingly managed, declined sharply. Shen Wansan's home is in Zhouzhuang, and the shabby house is still there, which is not very imposing. The Shenyang family suffered such a heavy blow three times, and only the family was ruined.

In this way, Shen Wansan, known as the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, declined from prosperity to decline, but after all, he is a figure worthy of study and reference, and his remains in Zhouzhuang are also deeply interested by Chinese and foreign tourists, experts and scholars.
