Chapter 2230 Wanshan
In the past, the most precious ingot obtained by Lu Fei was the ingot from Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Kingdom.
Due to the short existence time, the number of castings is not large, the surviving quantity is rare and the price is precious.
However, Lu Fei has a lot of gold ingots from Daxi Kingdom in his hands.
Due to the "bulk sales" of the three Jubao Pavilions, the collection value of Daxiguo Yuanbao has plummeted, and now it has become junk goods.
Except for the Yuanbao from Daxi Kingdom, the rest is even more rubbish.
But the hundred boxes of gold and silver ingots I encountered this time were different, because they were real treasures.
The reason why it is called a treasure lies in that little stamp.
The source of ancient Yuanbao is nothing more than those two channels.
The silver issued by the government is called official silver, and it has inscriptions and official incised stamps on it. ??
As for the ingots made by melting the scattered pieces of silver from ordinary people, they are not allowed to have stamps.
This is because the ingots minted by the people are often mixed with impurities and are not so pure, so when they are exchanged, they are several grades different from official silver.
By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to official silver, there was also a kind of ingot that allowed inscriptions and seals to be engraved on it.
This kind of ingot comes from the bank.
Engraving inscriptions and stamps is convenient and distinguishable, but the quality is the same as official silver, absolutely pure.
And these hundred boxes of gold ingots came from the most powerful bank during the Wanli period.
When mentioning the Wanshan number, Gao Jianhua immediately said the Shen family's ticket number. Yes, this was indeed the ticket number from the Shen family.
Some people may ask, the Ming Dynasty is the world of the old Zhu family, who is the Shen family, is it awesome?
Yes, it's awesome, and it's pretty awesome.
Because this Shen family represents the most powerful businessmen in the history of China, the truly rich Shen family, Shen Wansan's Shen family.
Speaking of Shen Wansan, everyone is familiar with it.
Legend has it that Shen Wansan's family has a cornucopia that can turn stones into gold.
, gold and silver are inexhaustible.
There are also folk legends that Shen Wansan lived in seclusion in Tiandu City in his later years.
The reason why King Yan Zhu Di was able to succeed and raise the banner to fight back to Jinling came from Shen Wansan's financial support.
Legend has it that Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao approached Shen Wansan for help.
Shen Wansan had been persecuted by Zhu Yuanzhang and was sent to Yunnan for exile, so he harbored a grudge against Zhu Yuanzhang and supported the King of Yan Zhu Di.
He personally opened the three treasure houses and donated all the money inside to King Yan.
According to legend, when King Yan's army transported the money from these three treasure houses, it took seven days and seven nights, which shows the scale.
If the money is taken away, the treasure house has no meaning of existence.
However, because the area is too large, backfilling requires huge manpower, material and financial resources, so Yao Guangxiao came up with the idea of simply diverting river water to fill the underground treasure house, and it can also be used as an artificial lake, which is pleasing to the eye and kills two birds with one stone.
With the consent of Zhu Di and Shen Wansan, river water was immediately introduced to fill it. The entire filling process took another full year.
After filling, three huge artificial lakes were formed, which were named Beihai, Houhai and Shichahai.
Of course, this is just folklore and pure nonsense.
The reason why there is such a legend is that the Shen family is rich, has a lot of money, and is absolutely rich in the world.
Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have closed his eyes and framed Shen Wansan, sent him to Yunnan and confiscated all his property.
Zhu Yuanzhang did trick Shen Wansan into a trap at the beginning, but he never thought that Shen Wansan would have a chance to turn around.
He actually found business opportunities on the Tea Horse Road and brought his business to Southeast Asia, and even spread to the entire China.
Shen Wan
After San's death, his sons Shen Wang and Shen Mao became even more outstanding.
Shenwang's shipping business is similar to current logistics, radiating throughout China.
His younger brother Shenmao was involved in countless businesses.
Especially the Shen family's ticket account, which was making more money every day, which was much better than the treasury at that time.
However, the two brothers learned from their father's lesson at that time and were afraid of arousing the Zhu family's fear and suspicion, so they did not dare to use the Shen family name to show others.
The eldest son was renamed Zhou Wang, and the second son was renamed Zhou Mao.
As for the name of Wanshan, Shen Wansan's "word" was used.
At that time, the Wanshan account opened all over China and was the most powerful ticket account in the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that paying taxes to the Ming Dynasty every year can occupy one percent of the entire national treasury.
One percent of the entire national treasury, this number can scare anyone to death!
Therefore, even if the reign name was changed, no emperor would take action against Wanshanhao, the God of Wealth.
Even the most arrogant Dongxianglian and factory guards did not deal with Wanshan.
It is conceivable how much money Wanshan Hao made during the two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty?
It stands to reason that since Wanshan is so powerful, there must be a lot of gold and silver ingots in existence?
This is not the case.
King Chuang Li Zicheng overthrew the Ming Dynasty and established the Dashun Kingdom, and began to attack Wanshan.
Actually, this is normal.
King Chuang's army needs money. Where does the money come from?
It must have been anointed by the people.
In this case, how could Wanshan, a big owner, be let go?
However, it is not honorable to deal with people on unfounded charges, so the gold and silver brought up on the Wanshan were confiscated and immediately returned to the furnace to create new evidence and destroy it.
After the Manchus enter the customs, they also need money.
