The legacy that Zun Zongtang leaves all one's life, change entirely add in, be worth 35000 two silver only. Be less than him himself 1/50 of conscientious earning money. Zun Zongtang fact is very rich, his body holds Zhejiang make one's rounds concurrently to stroke with governor of Fujian short for Zhejiang Province when, year the silver that raise cheap 80 thousand 2. His body holds horse of tea of pleasant of short for Shaanxi Province concurrently to make, the individual's lawful extra income is amounted to 380 thousand 2. Zun Zongtang is in pleasant of short for Shaanxi Province 14 years, annual and average public fund pays expenses 8 million two silver, that is to say, a member that the whole nation visits each owes public money of his a huge sum entirely.
No matter public money still is illicit money, control capacity by fortune, official of Chinese neither one or businessman can place on a par with him at that time.
Quite with clean-fingered and famed Ceng Guofan, his bequest is already scanty, but also be in 100 thousand two above. Compare with absorption assemble fortune famed Li Hongzhang, his bequest is in official history account ten million and two, unofficial history says twenty million and two, with fortune of cliff of snow of Chinese head rich moustache comparatives.
Private property of Zun Zongtang, the majority is contributed entirely. Why does he come loose everywhere money? There is beneficent instinct in the nature on one hand, in the meantime, xiangtan farther-in-law Zhou Heng because assemble bequest, ku of offspring fine silk fabrics is in the majority, the 3rd generation breaks arteries and veins almost, it is vivid opposite teaching material to him. Tao Shu of relatives by marriage accumulates bequest, the clansman after he is dead contends for money to become enemy, also make Zun Zongtang vigilant. Although have computational capacity of Zhu Geliang, zun Zongtang also cannot cipher out, oneself leave millions of two silver how to can make sure the descendants exerts oneself actively again enterprising. His only method, can take a drastic measure to deal with a situation, let offspring return 0 kilometers, press descendants people rise afresh. Although this is a kind of beneficent a righteous act undertaken for the public good, but still have terrible consideration rear.
In fact, zun Zongtang descendants already multiplied 7 generation, male blood arteries and veins is close 200 people, add offspring of female blood arteries and veins, nearly 500 people, in unique of the it may be said on Hunan history. Compare his teacher He Changling, serve is done to be born to American in Changsha to his grandchildren when the Republic of China, clerk, broke hematic arteries and veins it seems that ever since. It may be said of moustache forest ala wisdom person, handle affairs ability is top-ranking, but adopt a young relative also can lean only after dying alone child after passing, true hematic arteries and veins is broken. The official that seals Hou is done obeisance to on Hunan history, the descendants evens more to today of 100 people have hardly, offspring amounts to 449 people, besides Zun Zongtang, Ceng Guofan, do not have its person again. Prime cause, in show eunuch accumulating to produce.
Zun Zongtang expands the method of later generations of familial, multiply, cry " read n cultivated land send the home " , of low without very profound. But almost all learn rich how is the Hunan person of 5 cars sending the home fall fell on this. Visible and familial hundred years, chiliad destiny, what to need profound theory, decision at common sense. The Mencius says: "Be no good personally, path be no good at the wife. " Zun Zongtang says: "Even if read thousands of strange book, without execute do not be literacy. " common sense of earnestly practise what one advocates, the decision is familial and prosperous.
