Why did the rich man of Ming Dynasty, who was comparable to Shen Wansan, escape the punishment of Zhu Yuanzhang when he saw an earthworm?

Because the rich man made a mistake and thought he was in big trouble, he later dispersed his money and saved his life.

Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to hate the rich and big landlords, because before he became emperor, most of his family members starved to death because of the exploitation of these rich and heartless landlords and bureaucrats. So after they came to power, they began to slaughter the richest people, such as Shen Wansan, the largest city at that time, although they helped build the Nanjing wall. But he was exiled by Zhu Yuanzhang because he was too rich. However, there are also some very smart people among the rich who have successfully escaped Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment. For example, the richest man below, who is so rich, why did he see an earthworm and successfully escape the punishment of Zhu Yuanzhang?

Xu Fujiu was a local rich man in Xiangyang, Hubei Province in the early Ming Dynasty. There are thousands of hectares of fertile land at home, and there are herds of cattle, sheep and horses. The money is too much to spend a few lives. One day, Xu Fujiu went to Xiangyang City to do business. He saw an earthworm crawling on the street of the city. Because he couldn't see clearly at all, he wanted to stop and have a closer look. At this time, a woman picked up the earthworm and put it directly in her pocket. Xu Fujiu felt very strange. Why did this woman put earthworms in her pocket? So I asked her, "Sister, why did you pick up that earthworm?" Unexpectedly, the woman replied that it was a big gold hairpin and took it out at the same time. This is really a great treasure.

Later, the more Xu Fujiu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. How unlucky is this? Finally, I came to the conclusion that my disaster was imminent. So I found the master to calculate and dispersed the money to eliminate the disaster.

Therefore, Xu Fujiu returned home and distributed all his possessions to the people around him, leaving only the money to support his life and provide for the elderly. When the property inspector came to Xu Fujiu's house, he found that Xu Fujiu was already poor. So I reported to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang saw this situation and let Xu Fujiu go. Xu Fujiu saved his life.
