The first female rich man in Chinese history! More than 100 tons of mercury in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang were provided by her
In the long history of our country, there have been many famous women, some of whom have been recorded for their political skills as outstanding as men, and some who are famous for their chastity, and the one we are talking about today is only because she is a very outstanding businessman, and she has been flaunted by history, and to this day she is also the eye that all businessmen should learn, she is Ba widow Qing.
The meaning of widow should be understood by everyone, this does not need me to explain more, then why should there be a ''Ba'' in front of the failure, is this her last name? Actually not, this is because she is from the Bashu region, and Qing is her name. Shortly after she married her husband, the man died of illness, leaving behind a very large family fortune. In the case of no one to inherit, only the widow of Ba can inherit this family business, and it is from this that she began her incomparably brilliant and legendary life.
Born into a family of Dansha, she had an extremely keen sense of business, and this mineral, which had countless uses at the time, was monopolized by her. To put it bluntly, dansha is a natural mixture of sulfur and mercury, and it seems that this is a highly toxic thing, but at that time, the value was extremely large, and it was precisely because of this that she became the richest woman in the Qin Dynasty. First of all, dansha can refine mercury, and mercury has an antiseptic effect, if mercury is used on the corpse, it can keep the corpse incorruptible. It is also a kind of Traditional Chinese medicine, which has the effect of helping people calm, making people sleep or bactericidal. And she's still red and can be used for dyeing. But the most important thing is the role of Dansha in medicine, and there are even records in the medical books at that time, saying that often taking Dansha can maintain youth, so for the first emperor who is obsessed with immortality, the widow who holds Dansha is in charge of his biggest dream, so? He has always treated her with courtesy.
And what the Ba widow did was far from simple, and over time, we now know that there are at least 100 tons of mercury in the Tomb of the First Emperor. Moreover, the researchers found that the distribution of these mercuries actually corresponds to the general location of the Yellow River and the sea in China, and the most surprising thing is that the overall layout of mercury in the underground palace is extremely similar to the territory of the land after Qin Shi Huang unified China. The use of mercury in the dungeon to simulate the natural form can not only create a magnificent landscape, but also use the gas in the water to keep the corpses in his mausoleum, as well as funerary objects to maintain the original state. The mercury itself is highly toxic and can also prevent tomb robbers from entering.
But where did such a large amount of mercury reserves come from, and later after research, it was found that these mercury was provided by Ba Widow Qing, and the Dansha at that time was mainly produced in Ba and Yue. After the examination of historians, she was the only one who could provide more than 100 tons of mercury in that era. Therefore, she not only provided Qin Shi Huang with the elixir Dansha that can live forever, but also had great help in the construction of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum.
And her success is not only reflected here, we know that in the Qin Shi Huang period, most of the merchants will be exploited, serious and even found an excuse to kill, and Ba widow is an extremely intelligent person, she resolutely and resolutely funded to help her build the Great Wall after earning money, so that not only fame and fortune, but also the emperor's recognition, the status is unmatched.
Moreover, Qin Shi Huang was not without return for her help, when all the blades of the Qin Dynasty were recycled, and he actually allowed Ba Widow Qing to have his own private armed forces. Even in her old age, he gave her the title of virgin and took her to the palace to retire. Even when Qin Shi Huang received her, he used equal etiquette. I am afraid that throughout Chinese history, I will never find a woman who has been treated the same as her. Moreover, after her death, the First Emperor also ordered someone to build a Huaiqingtai in her hometown to mourn her. In that era, she built a great business empire with her outstanding intelligence, and was also recognized by the emperor, which had to be admired.
