    Jiangnan is the most prosperous place in the world.

    Although the Imperial City is the most prosperous city in the world, it has a different meaning. It only grew and grew because of the emperor's presence.

    In fact, even if the emperor arrives at Kaili Capital in Guizhou, it will become the number one city in the world.

    But Jiangnan is different.

    There are prosperous towns everywhere here, and there are towns and villages stretching for dozens of miles outside every city. People are generally wealthy, and they don¡¯t just live for the sake of living.

    Therefore, various entertainment activities, cultural cultivation, etc. in Jiangnan are very developed.

    This is also the reason why the Japanese pirates came here and stole tens of millions of taels of silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings with a little burning, killing and looting.

    Of course, the prosperity of Jiangnan is also divided into levels.

    The most prosperous cities are definitely Hangzhou, Jinling, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Huai'an, Ningbo, Taizhou and other cities.

    Songjiang Prefecture is not yet a magic city. Although Dakang's maritime trade has gradually moved to Songjiang Prefecture, Hangzhou at this time has not gone through filling in to build embankments. It is still a serious port city, so its  The role is still the first in Jiangnan.

    As the first city to come into contact with sea trade, Taizhou ranks among the top ten in the entire Jiangnan region.

    Many merchants here are either engaged in maritime trade themselves or serving maritime trade.

    The real big landowners are not very high-ranking in Taizhou.

    As the saying goes, talents emerge from generation to generation, each leading the way for decades.

    The rich people here in Taizhou are also changing from generation to generation.

    In recent decades, the two largest wealthy families in Taizhou are the Wang family on Tianning Street and the Chen family on Ziyang Street.

    Since the previous dynasties, Ziyang Street has been a street where Taizhou's wealthy families live in groups. The people living here are either rich or noble, but the Chen family's dominance here shows how powerful they are as one of the top ten merchants.

    The Wang family originally lived on Ziyang Street, but after they became prosperous, they were always outnumbered by the Chen family, so they simply moved to Tianning Street, where they could dominate the area and be happy and contented.

    At its peak, the Chen family's home was filled with furniture made of centuries-old rosewood, and various utensils were mostly made of gold and silver. The house covered an area of ??more than ten acres, and the courtyard outside the city covered thousands of acres, with attic pavilions and pavilions.  It is so beautiful that all Taizhou people yearn to visit it.

    But as the saying goes, nothing lasts forever. Six years ago, the Chen family encountered a catastrophe when they went to sea. They were ambushed by several groups of pirates. Not only did they lose seven ships and their cargo, more than 2,000 people were almost all killed.  It's all clean, including the two sons of the family owner Chen Yuhua, the future son-in-law, several nephews and so on.

    ?? Nearly all the men within the third generation of the Chen family died. Only Chen Yuhua, who escaped from death, and a few clan members who took care of the affairs at home were left.

    After returning home, Chen Yuhua began to face the problem of compensation for more than 2,000 maids and clerks, as well as the problem of compensating the businessmen who had paid advance payments due to the loss of goods He did this for two years at a stretch  It took time for all the compensation to be paid out, but at the end, everything was ruined and there was nothing left at all.

    The house leaked and it rained all night. During this period, Chen Yuhua¡¯s wife died of illness due to excessive grief. The Chen family members also took away their money and real estate from the main family, and even put a lot of debts on Chen Yuhua.

    So in the end, Chen Yuhua almost had no place to stand.

    Fortunately, the old wife and daughter still saved some property, so the Chen family could barely survive with an old house on Wenqing Street, two shops, and a thousand acres of farmland outside the city.

    Although this can be regarded as a small wealthy family, in Taizhou where there are many wealthy businessmen, it has long been out of the mainstream.

    Since then, the Wang family on Tianning Street has dominated maritime trade. Not only has it become the largest maritime merchant in Taizhou, it has also bought the Chen family¡¯s old house on Ziyang Street and moved into Ziyang Street again.

    There is little sympathy for losers.

    In September, there were rumors in Taizhou city that the Chen family had sold all their property, including their farmland, and the few servants in the family were sent home. The father and daughter quietly left Taizhou city.  But it didn't cause any disturbance.

    It¡¯s just adding some material to people¡¯s daily chats and storytellers¡¯ gossip!

    But no one expected that just today, the Chen family would actually come back!

    They came back in the morning.

    ¡°The first thing people care about is not the down-and-out Chen family, but the two cars that look like gods from heaven.The sources are simply not there.

    The first one on Mr. Wang¡¯s left is his eldest son Wang Shengqing, who is forty years old and is now in charge of the Wang family¡¯s maritime trade.

    Next to Wang Shengqing is the third oldest Wang Shengkui, who is thirty-seven years old and is Wang Shengqing's main assistant.

    On the right side of Mr. Wang is an old man who is almost in his fifties. He is Mr. Wang¡¯s second brother, referred to as Mr. Wang for short. He is mainly responsible for the purchase of goods for merchant ships.

    Under the Second Master Wang is a young man in his twenties. His name is Wang Yusheng. He is the youngest son of the Second Master Wang and the successor whom the Second Master Wang has focused on cultivating.

    The person below Wang Yusheng is a middle-aged man in his forties. His name is Wang Lei. He is the most outstanding disciple of the Wang family. He is now responsible for the various shops and businesses of the Wang family in Taizhou Prefecture.

    As for Mr. Wang himself, he is responsible for the overall planning and control of the rhythm, as well as regulating power disputes in the family, etc.

    There are six of them in total, and they are the core figures of the Wang family.

    ¡°The Wang family¡¯s development and growth over the past twenty years is all due to them.

    but!

    Today¡¯s meeting, Mr. Wang¡¯s first words were a bit sensational.

    "Everyone, I am afraid that the annihilation of our Wang family is just around the corner!"
