A knife in love

Chapter 2892
Hearing what Murong Danyan said, Li Qiufeng's heart moved, and he couldn't help saying: "Hey, isn't this the legendary cornucopia?"

As soon as Li Qiufeng finished speaking, Murong Danyan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you finally remembered the story of the cornucopia. When Shen Wansan saw the third jasper finger finger appearing in the jade basin, he also thought of the cornucopia. Surprised and delighted, he took out the jasper finger from the jade basin, put it in his arms carefully, and looked into the jade basin again, but this time there was no jasper finger in the jade basin. Shen Wansan stood in a daze for a moment, took off a ring on his finger, and carefully put it into the jade basin. After a while, Shen Wansan took the ring back, but before he knew it, another ring appeared at the bottom of the jade basin. rings.

"After experiencing the strange incident of jasper fingers, Shen Wansan was no longer curious about the ring appearing in the jade basin. He tried a few times and found that after putting things into the jade basin, three identical things would appear in the basin. Shen Wansan I heard the story of the cornucopia, but thought it was too absurd, and refused to believe that there was such a miracle in the world. Even though he got three jasper fingers and three rings from the jade basin, he couldn't believe it in his heart All of this is true, and he thought he was still in a dream to see such weird things. It’s just that he wiped his eyes almost blind with his hands first, and then opened his mouth and almost bit off his fingers. When I woke up from my sleep, I realized that I was not in a dream, and what I saw was naturally not an illusion.

"Shen Wansan stared blankly at the jade basin, touched the four jasper fingers and four rings hidden in his bosom, and thought to himself that this jade basin is indeed the legendary cornucopia. It's just why the world's first-class rare treasures Suddenly appearing in my bedroom is really puzzling. Is it because I have been charitable and accumulated a lot of merit in my daily life, and I have moved the heavens, so I have such a blessing?

"Thinking of this, Shen Wansan suddenly thought of the white-bearded old man who appeared in the dream, and his heart trembled. He thought that before the old man left, he once said that he would give himself wealth and honor for 30 years. Could it be that the scene at that time was not a dream at all, but The gods came down to earth and gave the cornucopia to themselves, can't they?
"Thinking of this, Shen Wansan carefully recalled the situation when the old man with white beard met him, and suddenly remembered that the old man with white beard had just met him, and said, "I was saved by Mr. Shen earlier, and I am here today to repay my kindness." , why save his life by himself? Thinking of this, Shen Wansan was terrified, thinking of the fox he saved from the hunter. The world said that foxes are the most spiritual and easy to cultivate into monsters. Saved by himself In all likelihood, that fox is a demon fox who has cultivated for thousands of years. In order to repay his life-saving grace, he will give the cornucopia to himself.

"Shen Wansan figured out the joints, and the hanging heart finally returned to his stomach. He thought to himself, if the fox demon came to repay his favor, he would naturally not harm him, and this treasure did not need to be discarded. As long as he He built a dark room in his bedroom and hid the cornucopia in it, so that outsiders would not know about it. Although it is a heresy technique to use the cornucopia to accumulate gold and silver treasures, but if you do more good deeds, use the gold and silver melted from the cornucopia to help the dying Helping the poor will definitely accumulate merit and benefit the children and grandchildren, so that they will not suffer disaster."

When Murong Danyan said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Since he got the cornucopia, Shen Wansan has accumulated more and more money. It's just that he is a smart person. In order not to let others know about it, He still went out to do business as usual. Therefore, even though the Shen family became a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, everyone thought it was due to Shen Wansan's painstaking management, and no one knew that there was a treasure hidden in his bedroom.

"Later, Emperor Taizu launched an uprising and drove the Tartars out of the south of the Yangtze River, forcing them to flee outside the Great Wall. Emperor Taizu made Yingtian Mansion his capital and changed Yingtian to Nanjing. After many years of fighting, the city of Nanjing was already in dilapidated condition. The city had to be rebuilt. But at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the people were extremely poor, and the imperial court did not dare to expropriate and plunder taxes. How could there be a lot of money to use to build the capital? Just when the Emperor Taizu was worried because he had no money to build the city of Nanjing, Shen Wansan donated tens of millions of taels of silver to help the court build Nanjing City."

Li Qiufeng heard Murong Danyan say this, and thought to himself, if this happened, there would definitely be no record in Jinyiwei's archives.It can be seen that this matter is absurd, but it is just a legend.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking, he only heard Murong Danyan continue to say: "Emperor Taizu heard the minister report this matter, Longyan was very happy, ordered to summon Shen Wansan, and praised him greatly. Shen Wansan's donation of silver to the court is indeed out of gratitude In his heart, he thought that the Emperor Taizu raised up rebels to drive away the Tartars and saved the people from the fire and water. He was shamed by the Han people for a hundred years, and he can be called an incomparable hero. It is only natural that he can serve the court. What should be done. In addition, Shen Wansan is very famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has enjoyed the glory and wealth for 30 years. Now it is time to change the dynasty. I am afraid that some young people will think about their wealth and secretly plot murder. The Shen family is in danger of extinction. Shen Wansan donated tens of millions of taels of silver to the court, not necessarily without the intention of pleasing the Emperor Taizu and the court in order to protect himself.

"Shen Wansan was summoned by the Emperor Taizu, and was greatly praised by the Emperor Taizu. He was extremely pleasantly surprised, thinking that the emperor valued him so much, no matter whether it was a government or a wealthy gentry, no one would dare to take advantage of the Shen family. A little overjoyed. Seeing that the Nanjing city wall was about to be completed, and the general Xu Da commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to march north, the Tartars fled in the face of the wind and fled to Mobei. The Central Plains belonged to Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizu was very happy and issued an edict Ask Xu Da to lead the meritorious soldiers back to the capital and win the world to show the prestige of Ming Dynasty.

"It's just that although Emperor Taizu was very happy because of the great victory of the Northern Expedition Army, but the court did not have enough money, how to reward the three armies? If the soldiers did not receive silver rewards, firstly, the emperor and the court would lose face, and secondly, the Tartars were far away. Fleeing to Mobei, but there are still many remnants of traitors ready to move, maybe they will use this to incite soldiers to rebel. Thinking of this, Emperor Taizu was anxious and depressed all day long.

"At that time, Shen Wansan lived in Nanjing City, and devoted himself to the construction of Nanjing City. Officials of the court knew that Shen Wansan's family had a huge fortune, and everyone treated him very well. Although Shen Wansan did not intend to spy on the privacy of the court, he often gathered with officials. Drinking and having fun together, when the wine was hot, everyone talked less scruples, so Shen Wansan found out that Emperor Taizu was worried because he had no money to reward the soldiers. Although Shen Wansan was very shrewd, he was only a businessman after all, I was an official in the imperial court, and I didn't know the official rules and the emperor's mind, and finally caused a catastrophe. Not only did I lose my life because of this incident, but the Shen family was almost wiped out."
