Suddenly, it seemed as if after a thousand years, Cui Ning woke up from a super shocking movie.

Looking up, the stars were sparse on the night of the full moon, and Long Yi, Long Da and Wan Xinglong looked at themselves with big eyes.

"When is it?" Cui Ning woke up and walked out of history. "What have you all seen?"

Wan Xinglong looked down at Gujing again, "It's almost two hours passed, and the three of us have woken up long ago. Then we saw that you are still intoxicated, so we didn't bother you. That proves that you must have seen more than we have seen."

Long Da and Long Yi also have some memories, "It looks like a movie. We both saw the same thing. Li Shimin and Li Xuanba brothers, they should be twins, but they have different destinies."

"What I saw was Chen Wansan's life, how he became a businessman who was rich enough to rival a country, and the story of establishing the Nanlong Capital."

"What does Chen Wansan's treasure pot look like?" Long Yi was very interested.

"Chen Wansan really doesn't have a treasure pot, but he has wisdom beyond the times. Of course, I saw it. I don't know if it's the truth of history," said Wan Xinglong.

Chen Wansan can be said to be a legend in the history of the Dragon Kingdom, a man who is truly wealthy from scratch. However, there is no accurate record in the official history of how he made his fortune.

The first statement is that according to the "Zhouzhuang Town Chronicle", there is a wealthy businessman named Lu Deyuan. He was Chen Wansan's old boss and admired Chen Wansan's intelligence and talent very much. He had no children in his later years and was afraid that the huge wealth tree would attract the wind. After seeing through the world, he gave Chen Wansan all the assets accumulated by generations to Chen Wansan.

Another saying is that Chen Wansan's father and his family moved to Nanxun Town, Huzhou and developed a large area of ​​abandoned fertile land. Due to the rainy areas in the south of the Yangtze River and there was no advanced drainage technology at that time, the farmland was often flooded.

The Shen family mastered an extremely efficient drainage technology and purchased other people's farmland for farming, thus accumulating considerable wealth.

After becoming a family, Chen Wansan understood that relying solely on the industries accumulated by his ancestors, he would sooner or later live in vain. He was no longer satisfied with pure agricultural farming. Natural disasters and man-made disasters at the end of the Yuan Dynasty were everywhere. The farmland could not be continuously cultivated due to various force majeure factors, and could not bring stable income to farmers.

In order to exchange food, avoid war, or pay heavy taxes from the government, farmers can only sell farmland to landlords at low prices.

Jiangnan was the richest place at that time. As early as the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a proverb that "Suhu is familiar, and the world is full", and the taxes in this place were also the heaviest.

After Chen Wansan owned more and more land, he summoned tenants, rented out land, hired farmers, and issued usury loans with profits.

If you want to be rich enough to compete with a country, relying solely on a feudal landlord is far from enough.

Chen Wansan faced the sea and inspected the large ships filled with cargo. The blueprint in his heart had already been unfolded: he wanted to open the business channel to the Southeast Asian and even further away.

His fleet traveled across major marinas, shaking waves on the sea, and finally arrived in Nanyang. The porcelain, silk, tea and paper of the Long Kingdom were very popular there, and Chen Wansan also bought their peppers, spices, etc. at a low price. This long journey gathered huge wealth for him in a short period of time.

The greater significance lies in strengthening material exchanges between the two sides of the ocean. We know that shipbuilding and navigation technology in the Ming Dynasty were already very advanced. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the West to "promote the prestige of the country" and gave the things to others for nothing.

Chen Wansan's idea was undoubtedly forward-looking. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to build a city wall. Chen Wansan, who had been transporting materials to Zhang Shicheng, changed his mind when he saw the wind and took the initiative to find Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that he was willing to take out his assets to share his worries.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said that even if the treasury and the treasury were turned over, he would not be able to pay so much money. Chen Wansan requested a military order, saying that if the completion was overdue, he would be allowed to deal with it.

According to historical records, the two even held a construction progress competition. One side was the royal team represented by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other side was the private team represented by Chen Wansan. After several months of fierce competition, Chen Wansan won the championship with a three-day advantage. It was equivalent to building half of the Nanlong Capital.

When Chen Wansan changed the dynasty, he played multiple roles in every way, helping Dayuan transport food and grass, and paying money to support Zhang Shicheng's army. Later, he was eager to express his loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang.

He obviously felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's appetite was much bigger than the first two, but it didn't matter, he had money. According to the "Letter to Liu Qing Ri", after the city wall was built, Chen Wansan took out another 2,000 ingots of platinum and 200 kilograms of gold, saying that he would help the emperor reward the three armies. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and the army that rewarded the emperor obviously touched his bottom line.

As for the final outcome of Chen Wansan, there is no record in official history, so Cui Ning is also a little interested in this person.

"Tell me, what ideas does Chen Wansan have that transcend the times?"

"First of all, he is Zhang Sanfeng's apprentice, that's amazing, beside a big tree.

Then, in the late Yuan Dynasty, he not only started overseas trade at the beginning, but also almost monopolized the manufacturing and sales of weapons at that time, which was also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about him later.

Also, he has always been based on land, and most of the land in Jiangnan belongs to him. In addition to planting these lands, he relies on renting and building markets, which is equivalent to building a new city on wasteland, including the walls of Nanlongdu. It seems that he competes with Zhu Yuanzhang.

In fact, it is equivalent to the emperor advertising him, because he had the largest construction team and the technology and team for producing wall tiles at that time, all the manors of wealthy businessmen in the country, as well as the infrastructure construction after the founding of the country, basically they used their construction teams. How could he not be rich? Rockefeller, who gave land to the United Nations, was several hundred years behind him."

"It's true that he is a genius, and the emperor is also used by him. It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid of his rebellion, or he is still not confident in himself." Cui Ning thought for a while, "Maybe we see some things in our hearts, but they are also related to historical changes. Maybe this well really condenses too much energy and can reflect history and our hearts. After all, Li Shimin and Li Yuanba have nothing to do with this palace."

"Brother Cui Ning, then what are you seeing?"

"I, I established the Longdu City from Liu Bowen, Zhu Yuanzhang revolted, and then Zhu Di usurped the throne, Zhu Yunwen disappeared, Chongzhen committed suicide in the late Ming Dynasty, and established the Qing Dynasty. Then Cixi ordered the eunuchs to throw Zhenfei into the well in the late Qing Dynasty, and almost saw the major historical events of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Isn't it very magic?"

"Brother Cui Ning, then what's inside you?"

"I..." Cui Ning thought for a while, "Maybe I want to know more about the truth of history, but many are similar to those recorded in unofficial history. After all, there are pairs of eyes watching, recording every era."

"According to your opinion, my goal is the richest man in Long Country." Wan Xinglong smiled softly. "After looking at Chen Wansan's life, I really feel that I have learned a lot of the essence of doing business."

"A magical well" Cui Ning stood up and gently moved his waist. "Old Jiang also gave us a task, saying that we should understand the shadows that often appear in the middle of the night. It's almost 3 o'clock, and there is no sign."

"It is said that there are not many areas open." Wan Xinglong also learned about the basic situation before coming. "And these shadows themselves are super sensitive to certain energy, or some recent things are a bit subtle, and there is no rule out that there are manipulators behind the scenes."

"That's true, the old seniors didn't find any clues, so we can only try our luck."

"Why should we separate? After all, it's too big. It'll be dawn in another hour or two. Let's try to find some clues." Long Da was obviously a curious baby.

"It is okay to separate, but not to be alone. You and Long Da, Xinglong and Long Yi, you must pay attention to safety and no accidents."

Long Da and Long looked at it, "Okay, listen to Brother Cui Ning."

Cui Ning took Long Da, Wanxing Long and Long Yi to different directions in the depths of the old palace. Due to the arrangements of the superiors, all areas that are not open to tourists are not padlocked tonight, and those areas that are not open have obvious marks and are easy to find. The only problem is that compared with the group of four people, the old palace is still too big.

With Wanxinglong, Long Yi separated for about ten minutes, and the boss followed Cui Ning to walk around the old palace for about ten minutes. Apart from the quietness, there was no discovery of the black palace wall, which inevitably made people feel disappointed.

Cui Ning also saw that Long Da was boring. After all, a wonderful movie had just ended. When watching these palace walls, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of thrilling and fun. He laughed in his heart and said softly to Long Da:

"How about we go to the roof and take a look, stand high and look far, and we should find out, what do you think?"

"Okay, okay, this idea is good." Long Da's curious baby's nature exploded. "It's too boring to go around like this."

With the skill of two or three meters of palace walls, it is easy to get on the back of the two people. Although the buildings in the previous dynasty have undergone hundreds of years of storms, their solidity is obvious to all. It can be seen that the craftsmen’s thoughts and level, coupled with the scientific maintenance in recent years, can be said to be walking on the ground.

The two of them went from the palace wall to the top of a higher palace. Standing at a high place, they looked at the night scenery of Longdu. There were no tall buildings in the old palace within a few kilometers. First, to maintain the appearance of the ancient city, and the new national government agencies were all nearby, which was also for the need for safety.

At three o'clock in the morning, the city only has starry lights, as well as the occasional headlights on the road, including the dim lights in the old palace. In particular, some important attractions must be monitored 24 hours a day, so you can see the general scenery in the old palace when standing in the palace. I just don't know which hall Wanxinglong and Longyi went to, and you can see a cool view at the very end.

"Brother Cui Ning, look there, there seems to be a flashing light." Long Da and Cui Ning looked in different directions and happened to see some light somewhere, and shouted softly.

"Where is the location?" Cui Ning was very delicate and felt a trace of unusual smell from it. "Which direction, over there, it seems that it is the direction of Chu Xiugong. It is too far away and I can't see clearly. Don't go down, just go straight from above."

The light-body skills of the two people are also extraordinary. They walk like spirit cats on the palace wall. In addition, they have more accurate grasp of the direction of walking on it, and there is no need to take detours. In less than five minutes, they reach the bright and flickering position, which is Chuxiu Palace.

The two of them stood in the dark in the palace wall more than ten meters away from Chuxiu Palace, holding their breath, thinking about the legend about Chuxiu Palace, and they were inevitably a little excited.

After standing for a minute or two, I heard a low moan in my ears, and it seemed like a sigh. It was just that because Chu Xiugong itself did not have a lighting system, and the sound of the wind itself was so whimpering that it seemed to be nonsense and unpredictable. If it were ordinary people, they would have been scared. Unfortunately, both of them were not ordinary people tonight.

After two minutes, the whimpering sounds increased significantly, as if mixed with the woman's screams and crying, as well as the chaotic footsteps. There were more shouts in the middle of the night, which could not help but feel a little cunning.

Cui Ning and Long Da winked. It took only one or two seconds to fall from the high wall at a distance of more than ten meters. Then the two of them lit up the strong light flashlight in their hands at the same time.

Flashlights are specially made by the army. They combine various latest technologies of mining lamps and fog lamps, plus laser positioning and other technologies, and can even be used with snipers in certain major events. Once they are shined on human faces, they will have temporary blindness and dizziness.

Used in such a late night palace, it can be said that it shines like the sun in June and July, and it is like an explosion-like energy coming.

It’s a pity that the lights are too strong, and the scenery that Cui Ning and Long Da disappeared in only three or five seconds. Even if it is only three or five seconds, Long Da was stunned and didn’t believe in the scene in front of him.
