Introduction: In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos, not only Chen Youyi, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shicheng, Ming Yuzhen and other tyrants chased after the Central Plains, but even some powerful bureaucrats of the Yuan Dynasty also took advantage of the opportunity of the chaos of the war and horses to accumulate wealth and develop private armed forces, with the intention of grabbing the greatest benefits in this chaotic and chaotic world.

At that time, in the area of Haining (present-day Haining City, Zhejiang), there lived a rich family, this person's name was Jia Ming, the character Wending, was a thousand households of the Yuan Dynasty (Yuan Dynasty military general position) Jia Ming, although he was born as a military general, but he especially liked poetry, calligraphy and painting, Confucian classics, once wrote a book "DietAry Instructions", Jia Ming often did good deeds, but because of the sinister world, he gathered people and horses in haining, intending to support the army to protect himself and protect the wealth and glory of his family.

At that time, a generation of strange people Liu Bowen had not yet met Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to find a ming lord who was really worthy of his own assistance, Liu Bowen has been wandering the rivers and lakes, traveling the world, and constantly looking for opportunities. When Liu Bowen heard that Jia Ming was good at charity and benevolent, he came to Jia Ming and became a strategist under Jia Ming. Jia Ming treated Liu Bowen well, but after a long period of observation of Jia Ming, Liu Bowen found that Jia Ming had no great ambitions, but just wanted to maintain the current rich life, and it was not the true dragon Tianzi he wanted to find, so he wanted to leave.

However, because Jia Ming treated Liu Bowen with courtesy and was very kind, Liu Bowen wanted to repay Jia Ming before leaving. So Liu Bowen chose a feng shui treasure place for Jia Ming and told Jia Ming to bury his ancestors here, so that he could be rich and glorious for generations in the future. Jia Ming knew that Liu Bowen was knowledgeable, astronomical geography, medical astrology, omniscient, and proficient in the art of public opinion, so he believed in Liu Bowen's words, found a zodiac auspicious day, and built an ancestral tomb in the place designated by Liu Bowen.

On the day of construction, Jia Ming set up a banquet at his home and invited several local celebrities to a banquet to celebrate the construction of the ancestral tomb. As a result, when they were eating, a strong wind suddenly blew, and out of nowhere, a piece of gold leaf blew in, landing right on the beam of Jia Ming's house. This scene was all seen by Liu Bowen, who thought it was a good omen and said to Jia Ming: "The Ru family has a golden belt and rests with the country." This means that the descendants of the Jia Ming family will be high-ranking officials for generations, because in the Ming Dynasty, only officials with four or more pins are eligible to use the gold belt, that is, "waist gold".

Liu Bowen left Jia Ming after the banquet and defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a man of great talent, and became the founding minister of Daming. And Jia Ming's two sons also became military generals under Zhu Yuanzhang, and made great achievements, and were awarded the command of Henan Wei and Linshan Wei (正三品) by Zhu Yuanzhang respectively, which could be hereditary, and the title of Jia family continued until the end of the Ming Dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that when Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Jia Ming's son as a command envoy, Jia Ming was still alive, and he witnessed his son enjoying the high-ranking official Houlu, glory and wealth, and lived until the age of 106 before he died, and Liu Bowen's prophecy really came true!
