Legend has it that Shen Wansan has a cornucopia, and everything can be turned into treasure. Is it true?/You don't say.

Of course it's not true, it's just a legend.

Shen Wansan was the richest man in Jiangnan in Ming Dynasty. On one occasion, Zhu Yuanzhang had no money to repair the city wall, and Shen Wansan paid for the remaining two-thirds of the city wall. Zhu Yuanzhang once asked him how much money he had. He said: I can reward the emperor's soldiers with 12 taels of gold each. Zhu Yuanzhang had at least one million troops and Shen Wansan had at least one million taels of gold. That's gold, so it seems that Shen Wansan is really rich!

There is a beautiful legend about how Shen Wansan became rich:

Shen Wansan was a poor scholar when he was young, and lived a poor life with his wife. One day at noon, he fell asleep unconsciously while reading a book. He had a dream that 100 people in green clothes shouted for help. After waking up, he came to the street and saw an old man preparing to kill the frog in the basket. This 100 frogs croak. Shen Wansan suddenly remembered the dream he had in the afternoon, and suddenly realized that these frogs were the people in green. It seems that they begged me to save them.

So Shen Wansan did not hesitate to take out the only money to buy these frogs and put it back in the pond. At night, Shen Wansan can't sleep, because the frogs outside are screaming so loudly that he can't sleep. So he got up in his clothes and went outside. In the moonlight, he saw a large group of frogs standing on an old basin. When Shen Wansan came out, all the frogs jumped away.

He brought the washbasin back, and his wife cleaned it and used it as a washbasin. She accidentally dropped a gold ring into the basin, only to find that it became two, and then put two here, it became four. From then on, Shen Wansan made a fortune and became the richest man in Nanjing.

Of course, this is just a legend. The reason why he made a fortune is nothing more than these possibilities:

First, he has brains, especially economic brains, so he is very prosperous in salt merchants and other businesses.

Second, he is persistent and progressive. No matter what you do, you are not afraid of failure. Get up when you fall, work hard towards your goal, and finally succeed.

Now you can see Shen Wansan's house in Zhouzhuang, which is very big and magnificent. There is no success without reason in the world. Only by persistence can we realize our dreams.
