"So Qin Shihuang was very moved and welcomed her to live in Xianyang to take care of her in her old age, and built the "Huaiqing Tower" for her to show her glory."

"The specific history is difficult to verify."

"Human essence is always polished by life. Under this huge cinnabar empire, Ba Qing developed a far-sighted business acumen. He also discovered a precious chemical substance from cinnabar - mercury, which is Hg (mercury), and the relationship between Ba Qing and Qin Shihuang comes from the substance mercury."

"As an emperor, he is more or less superstitious, and Qin Shihuang is also the same in this regard."

"Judging from the construction of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, we can see that Qin Shihuang was a man who wanted peace of mind in everything."

"But as the saying goes, righteousness does not control power. In the struggle of the ruling class, bloodshed and betrayal are all too common. In order to prevent his body from rotting in the future, Qin Shihuang wanted to buy mercury from Ba Qing."

"Coincidentally, during the conversation, Qin Shihuang also discovered that the cinnabar from the Ba Qing family was also an important material for medical supplies."

"Qin Shihuang immediately resented Ba Qing for meeting her so late. He must have been thinking: "Why didn't he discover this treasured woman Ba ​​Qing earlier?"

"Qin Shihuang is definitely not stupid. Apart from Ba Qing, he wants to get too many things from Ba Qing."

"The Widow Qing did not have an army to compete with the Qin Dynasty, but there were hundreds and thousands of domestic slaves and servants. It is said that the apprentice servants of the Baqing family actually accounted for one-fifth of the population of Zhi County, and the population of the entire county at that time But it’s about 5.”

"This battle has really shown everyone what it means to be wealthy and invincible."

"This woman was one of the seven richest men in the Warring States Period (Fan Li, Zigong, Bai Gui, Yidun, Guo Zong, Wushi Luo, and Ba Widow)."

"First of all, the Qin State must have a vision of unifying the country, and Ba Qing's hometown, the Bashu region, happens to be in an important strategic location."

"Therefore, becoming good friends with Ba Qing has become a goal of Qin Shihuang. Even if it is just a pure exchange of interests, he must ensure that Ba Qing is his friend, not his opponent."

"In addition, Qin Shihuang's demand for mercury and cinnabar was met by Ba Qing. It is not difficult to imagine that Qin Shihuang probably felt from the bottom of his heart that he had met a "Tai Shang Laojun". Such powerful materials Suppliers, at all times and in all over the world, are really hard to come by.”

"Qin Shihuang was naturally not stingy with his efforts and purchased hundreds of tons of mercury from Ba Qing in one fell swoop."

"After looking at the data recorded by later generations, until Ba Qing's death, the entire family industry reached 800 million taels of silver, and the number of workers in the family business reached tens of thousands."

"Bashu at that time had only a population of 5, which means that one-fifth of the area were workers under the name of Ba Qing. Therefore, Ba Qing was evaluated as the Cinnabar Empire by later generations, and it was certainly not in vain."

"Moreover, Ba Qing is also a very tough person. In order to protect his family's huge property, he hired an army of more than 2000 people."

"In the Qin Dynasty, having a private army was definitely not tolerated by the king. However, Qin Shihuang made an exception and allowed Baqing to have his own army, and also provided support so that Baqing could develop the production of mercury and cinnabar. "

"Sima Qian once said that Ba Widow Qing's "courtesy resists ten thousand vehicles", which obviously refers to Qin Shihuang's treatment of Ba Widow Qing as a "guest", but it goes far beyond the treatment of "guest"!"

"It can be said to be a courtesy of equality. This was the highest courtesy at that time!"

"After that, Qin Shihuang built the unparalleled Great Wall and received funding from Ba Qing. Qin Shihuang naturally knew how to repay his kindness, and he naturally never forgot about Ba Qing. In order to repay Ba Qing, he specially built a "Huaiqing Terrace" in Bashu. The purpose is to commemorate Ba Qing, a female entrepreneur who deserves to be admired.” ˆ ˆ ˆ “A mere widow was treated so favorably by Qin Shihuang, the only emperor in history. Is it because it is said that she invested huge sums of money to build the Great Wall, or because she owns cinnabar mines? "

"Such an incredible widow, such an incredible history, hiding so many mysteries."

"I don't know and I don't want to know, but I admire this woman very much."

"Mrs. Ba Qing, who got rich first, not only worked hard to improve labor welfare and actively helped the poor, she also formed a large private armed force to protect the safety of the country. She was regarded as a "living god" by the villagers and was As a successful wealthy businessman, he is respected by more and more people."

"Even today, Ba Qing has been regarded as an iconic figure representing the industrial and commercial development level of Ba and Bajun in some modern areas."

"The methods of refining and storing mercury are not modern high-tech. The methods and techniques have long been mastered in ancient times."

"Mercury is refined from cinnabar, so it is very valuable. Generally, only nobles can afford it after their death."

"Mercury is poisonous. If placed in a tomb, it can poison tomb robbers and prolong the decay time of the corpse."

"Only Qin Shihuang built a river with mercury, which shows how unique Emperor Yingzheng is!"

"Someone once said that if Ba Qing had not met Qin Shihuang, she would probably not be as famous as she is now."

"But what we need to know is that fame always pales in comparison to strength. Even though Ba Qing is a pure businessman, she has also been a conscientious businessman."

"The reason why the strong are strong is not so much accidental, but more about challenging fate. Life is a process of "carrying". Every time you break and stand, it will be a nirvana that is rare in your life. "

"Ba Qing is undoubtedly brave. She has proved with herself that as long as man can conquer nature, women can also shoulder important responsibilities."

"In terms of loyalty, she remained a widow for the rest of her life after her husband died."

"In terms of courage, she also managed to remain calm in front of Qin Shihuang."

"In terms of strength, she was not crushed even after her relatives passed away one after another. Instead, she made the family business bigger and bigger. This spirit is the real positive energy."

"After all, each of us must know that if you can face the difficulties of life with a smile, it means you are really strong."

"You must know that Qin Shihuang was extremely harsh on women. Look at Qin Shihuang's concubines. None of the women who gave birth to children for him has been recorded. It is still a mystery in people's hearts today."

"But this woman impressed Qin Shihuang with her excellence, and she also received the best treatment from a woman in the Qin Dynasty after her death."

"Such Ba Qing is truly an outstanding being!"

"Later Ba Qing was taken into the palace by the First Emperor, but unfortunately he died of illness not long after. No one knows how her departure affected Qin Shihuang. People only saw that he followed this woman's last wish, Her remains were transported back to her hometown and buried in Longshan Village at the Changshou Thousand Buddhas Ground in Chongqing, and an unprecedented high "Huaiqing Terrace" was built for her, so that the world can admire her."
