The link that you provided does not come right out and say
it, but it looks as if it took the workers something along the lines of 37 years to
build the mausoleum.
The link tells us that Qin Shi Huang
Di came to the throne of Qin (he hadn't yet conquered all of China) in 247 BC. It says
that he then had his people decide on a good place for a tomb and start building. This
does not tell us how long it took for them to decide on a good place, so we do not know
exactly how long they worked on the tomb (at least not from this source). We do know
that the emperor died in 210.
So if they got to work in the
same year he became king of Qin, they worked 37 years on the
mausoleum.
