I once traveled all over the world at my own expense, talking about Qi, preserving Lu, conquering Yue and subjugating Wu. Confucianism was later carried forward and spread forever, and its merits were great.

Lv Buwei, a big businessman in the Warring States period, was most proud of his big business in his life: he met the exiled son of Qin Dynasty and won an alien, so as to successfully realize the historic transformation of his personal career from business to politics. It is said that even Qin Shihuang was the illegitimate son and widow of Qing Dynasty, who was born in the early Qin Dynasty. His ancestors made great fortune by opening the "Danxue" and were skillful in defending their achievements. He was once praised and received by Qin Shihuang. Deng Tong: Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty favored him. By virtue of his special relationship with Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, he monopolized the money casting industry at that time, opened up copper mines and became rich in the world.
Emperor Jing ascended the throne, fell out of favor and was accepted. Dong Xian: The Western Han Dynasty mourned the emperor's favor, and when he became emperor, he was the prince's mistress. He really squeezed into the "rich circle" by "accompanying the prince to study", which was as expensive as "riding with the emperor" and dominating the world, and was later killed by Wang Mang.
Liang Ji, a consort of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was called a "domineering general" because her two sisters were both queens, who collected wealth and killed the emperor. Shi Chong, a famous rich man in the Western Jin Dynasty, got his wealth from robbing merchants along the way when he was the secretariat of Jingzhou.
The most classic story is that Wang Kai, the uncle of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, won a great victory. It is no exaggeration to say that he is "as rich as an enemy". Because he didn't understand the old adage "Don't show your wealth outside", he eventually became a prostitute and broke his fortune, and finally even died.
Wu Sansi: Tang Wuze was a favored minister at the right time, and made a lot of money by selling officials and imprisoning them.

It is said that the income from accepting bribes amounted to 33, kilograms of gold and 8.5 million kilograms of silver, while when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he collected only 2, kilograms of national fiscal revenue from Chongzhen in one year: a corrupt official in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, and was selected as a world-class rich man.
I won't go into details about his deeds, except to mention that Jiaqing's property acquired when he raided his house was equivalent to the national tax revenue in the 18 years of Qianlong's prosperity.

The list of the top ten richest people in China's history. Since my friends who cook wine at Tianya like my "top ten" topic, I was invited to cook another one.
before I begin, I'd like to state two rules: First, emperors of past dynasties did not choose. Because China was "the home of the world" in ancient times, the so-called "the whole world is not the land of the king", and the personal property of the emperor is equivalent to the state public property, so it cannot be defined.
second, the deadline is the Republic of China. For example, the richest people who make the Forbes list of the world's richest people will not make nominations.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period: 1 Although Tao Zhugong Fan Li was an adviser to the King of Yue, he didn't engage in the practice of strategizing with the Warring States. In the Historical Records of the Family of the King of Yue, he told the truth that Yin and Yang were surplus and lost, and nature was obedient. He was like a philosopher.
As in politics, he is confident, accurate and steady in business, and can afford and let go. He is never bothered by money like a miser. This is because he has a strong cultural background and treats money and profits with the attitude of a strategist. In today's words, he lives very smartly, works very beautifully and looks comfortable.
Of course, doing business is to make money, but a clever big businessman must have style, and his whole head is not in the eye of money. Those misers who specialize in small calculations and haggle over every penny are sure to be exhausted, and they can't make big money in business and become a climate.
Like Yan Jiansheng, a character in The Scholars, even lighting two lamps is afraid of wasting oil. If you don't pick one, you will die unsatisfied, and you will only be old and fat, and you are not cut out for business. "Historical Records" narrates that after Fan Li resigned from the phase of Qi, he immediately opened the way, just like leaving the country, and gave away all the hundreds of thousands of assets accumulated in Qi, "to spare all his wealth to share with his friends and fellow villagers".
subjectively, he may not expect others to repay him, but the actual effect is that he is popular and will certainly get convenience in his future career, so it didn't take long for Fan Li to make a fortune in business (Xu Guang quoted in Collection of Records of the Historian) and become a billionaire. Fan Li's life, first as a scholar, became a counselor of the King of Yue, and tried his best to avenge the King of Yue and destroy the State of Wu. After that, he retired and became rich in the state of Qi, and Pei Qi was printed. He immediately abandoned the phase and moved to Tao, becoming a billionaire Tao Zhugong.
Just as Sima Qian commented on him in Historical Records: "Therefore, Fan Li moved three times and became famous in the world. If he didn't go, he would become famous." This kind of twists and turns is extraordinary enough, and one thing in his later years is even more moving, more dramatic and more impressive.
This story is also contained in Historical Records: The Family of the King of Yue, Judge Jian. I often feel strange and regretful: Why do writers and dramatists all over the world make a fuss about the illusory love story of Fan Li and Xi Shi, but let such a touching story go lightly! It happened in Fan Li's later years. His second son killed someone in Chu and put him in prison. He sent his youngest son, who had just grown up, to Chu State with a thousand ounces of gold.
The eldest son had a problem with it. Obviously, seeing that he was not promising, he made a big fuss and asked to be sent. Fan Li refused, and the eldest son was angry and wanted to commit suicide.
Mrs. Fan Li advised, "The younger one may not be able to save the second child. Let the eldest one make a terrible noise first. If something really happens, don't you add another bite?" Fan Li had to reluctantly agree. He gave his son a letter to his old friend, Zhuang Sheng, and earnestly urged him, "When you arrive in Chu, you should give him the gold thousands of coins, and ask him to do everything. Don't ask!" When the gentleman arrived in the state of Chu, he found Zhuang Sheng in a small house in the suburbs and sent letters and gold according to his father's orders.
Zhuang Sheng ordered, "Go back at once, and don't stay here. Even if your brother is released, don't ask why.
"But this gentleman didn't listen to the warning. He was smart enough to find another way. He took money to bribe a powerful person in the State of Chu and stayed to listen to the news himself. Although this Zhuangsheng lives in a poor alley, he is famous for his knowledge and morality, and the whole Chu State respects and trusts him.
He is not greedy for Fan Li's gift, and he is ready to return it when it is done. This Mr. Fan doesn't know about these situations! Zhuangsheng found a suitable opportunity to meet the king of Chu, pretending that there were stars in the sky, which would be unfavorable to Chu.
the king of Chu has always believed in Zhuang sheng, and asked him how to solve it. Zhuang sheng said that only moral politics can be removed.
The King of Chu decided to grant amnesty to the prisoners. Before the pardon was issued, the noble who accepted the bribe from Master Fan got the news first, and told the Master that your brother was saved and the king was about to issue the pardon.
The young master was overjoyed, thinking that the second child would be released as soon as the King of Chu issued a pardon. Why should he give his daughter to Zhuang Sheng for nothing? So, the gentleman went to see Zhuang Sheng again and said, "I heard that the king of Chu will issue an amnesty, so my brother can be released, so I came to leave." Knowing that his intention was to get the gold back, Zhuang Sheng let the gentleman take the gold intact.
The young gentleman was so proud that he thought he had saved his brother and didn't spend the gold, so he happily walked out with the gold. Zhuang Sheng hated being played by children. He went to the king of Chu and said, "A few days ago, the king was going to make a pardon because of the change of stars, but I heard from the Chinese that the pardon was for the son of Tao Zhugong, the world's richest man."
