Chapter 328 Meng Jiangnu Cries at the Great Wall

"The system of prefectures and counties became popular in the late Warring States Period, and Qin Shihuang completely established the system of prefectures and counties."

"Qin Shihuang divided the country into 36 counties, and counties were set up below the counties, and officials were assigned to manage each place."

"If the management is not good, then the officials will be fired. When they retire, they will go home to take care of themselves and reassign a new one. The central government will firmly control the local area. This is centralization of power!"

"Qin Shihuang was an all-rounder. After unifying the political system, he then carried out a series of operations to unify the country's currency, weights and measures, writing, etc., thus achieving the unification of the economic system, ideology and culture."

"During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the characters of each country were different, which was troublesome."

"Just imagine, if the characters are not unified, Qin Shihuang wants to issue a decree, and it has to be translated into several languages. If the Chu people write a contract, the Yan people can't understand it, and the transaction can't be done. In short, there are all kinds of inconveniences."

"Based on this, Qin Shihuang asked Li Si to compile a set of texts that could be used throughout the country."

"Li Si is quite capable. He mainly uses the characters of the Qin State, supplemented by the characters of the other six countries. He drew on the strengths of others and created a set of Qin seal scripts."

"The more he created, the more courageous he became. Buy one, get one free. Based on Qin Zhuan, he created a set of more simplified official script fonts."

"In the Qin Dynasty, Qin seal was used to write official documents, and official script was used in daily life."

"I wonder if the students at that time complained about Li Si when they were learning the two fonts."

"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, road construction standards in various countries were different, and carriages were also of varying sizes."

"People in Chu buy a new car and can only drive around in Chu. When driving out of other places in Chu, the tracks are not the same width, and the car breaks down every minute."

"This won't work. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Qin Shihuang issued an order to radiate several carriage roads with 6-foot tracks from Xianyang to all parts of the country. At the same time, it was stipulated that the distance between the two wheels of carriages should be changed to 6 feet. ruler."

"From then on, traffic in the Qin Dynasty was smooth and smooth, and all roads led to Xianyang."

"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, currencies, length units, weight units, etc. were all different."

"The Chu man asked the Yan man to buy five kilograms of beef. When he paid, the Yan man said he didn't recognize the money and wouldn't accept it."

"The transaction was successful, and I weighed only four catties when I got home. The unscrupulous businessman was short of a catty. When I went back to argue, the Yan people said they were wronged."

"Everyone, Qin Shihuang roared, stop arguing. From now on, we will use the same kind of money. Gold is the upper coin, copper coins are the lower coin. There are round square holes, half and half, and the length, weight, volume, etc. are all based on those of the original Qin State. standard."

“In this way, everyone can happily buy and buy again!”

"The First Emperor of Qin visited mountains and rivers of all sizes. The most famous and far-reaching one was the Fengchan on Mount Tai."

"In 219 BC, Qin Shihuang held a ceremony to enshrine Mount Tai."

"Since Qin Shihuang, all emperors of the country have been keen to hold Zen ceremonies to emphasize the majesty and mystery of monarchy."

"After talking about the political aspect, let's talk about the military."

"When Ying Zheng was just the King of Qin, his skills in seizing territory were very good. After he unified the world, he became even more skillful and proficient in seizing territory."

"In ancient times, the Yue people lived in the south of South China, all over Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangxi, and all the way south to Guangdong and Guangxi. There were many tribes, collectively called Baiyue."

"In the pre-Qin era, the land of Baiyue was a place where people could live peacefully and peacefully. Even if the Central Plains were turned into a pot of porridge, it would have nothing to do with them."

"After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, his land-grabbing skills were nowhere to be used, so in 218 BC he sent an army of 4 people all the way south. After four years of hard fighting, he finally brought the southern region to his own territory."

"The Southern Expedition to Baiyue also has an ancillary product, Lingqu."

“At that time, in order to transport military supplies and grain to the south, Qin Shihuang built the Ling Canal to connect the Xiangjiang River and the Pearl River.” “The construction of the Ling Canal made a qualitative leap in transportation in the Central Plains and the South.”

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu, and so was Qin Shihuang."

"As early as the Warring States Period, the Huns had been taking advantage of the chaos to explore and encroach on the Central Plains. Qin Shihuang had long disliked him."

"In 214 BC, Qin Shihuang finally freed up his hands to deal with the Xiongnu. With an order, General Meng Tian led an army of people and drove the Xiongnu back to the desert to drink from the northwest wind."

"The Northern Attack on the Huns also has an ancillary product, the Great Wall."

"In order to consolidate the results of the war, Meng Tian repaired and connected the original Great Walls of Yan, Zhao and Qin, creating the majestic and powerful Qin Great Wall."

"The Great Wall of Qin is a miracle in the architectural world and the pride of the Chinese nation."

"In the eyes of later generations, the Great Wall was a great achievement, but to the ancients at that time, it was the work of a tyrant."

"Qin Shihuang, the first emperor throughout the ages, was wise and mighty, and accomplished many great achievements with great generosity. However, no one is perfect. Qin Shihuang's heroic life also had stains that could not be washed away. The first was the construction of the Great Wall and the oppression of the people."

"In today's technologically advanced world, it is not easy to build this long-awaited project."

"Not to mention two thousand years ago, behind the Great Wall, there were countless jobs. Day and night, many people died. Even if those who returned home alive had physical problems, they had no money. For treatment, the Great Wall is a disaster for the people."

"There is a story about the Great Wall - Meng Jiangnu cried at the Great Wall."

"It's just a cynical story."

"It is said that after Qin Shihuang ascended the throne, in order to prevent the invasion of the Huns from the north, he decided to recruit 800,000 migrant workers to build a Great Wall."

"The government arrested people everywhere to work as migrant workers. The arrested people worked day and night to build the Great Wall. I don't know how exhausted they were."

"There was a rumor at that time that in order to make the Great Wall strong forever, the city must be filled with living people."

"One mile has to be filled with one person, and every ten thousand miles has to be filled with ten thousand people."

"Later there was a nursery rhyme, saying that there was a man named Wan Xiliang in Suzhou, who could make the Great Wall immortal by himself."

"In order to make his Great Wall forever impregnable and block the attack of the Xiongnu alone, Qin Shihuang sent an official to Suzhou to capture Wan Xiliang."

"Wan Xiliang was very scared. He was so frightened that he quickly fled Suzhou and hid everywhere."

"One day, he accidentally hid in the back garden of a family named Meng and met Meng Jiangnu."

"Meng Jiangnu saw that he was pitiful, so she took him in."

"Wanxi has a good conscience and is a kind-hearted gentleman. Meng Jiangnu and he have been in love for a long time. Later, it was decided by the Meng family's parents that they got married."

"Unfortunately, Wan Xiliang was arrested by officials less than three days after the wedding."

"Meng Jiangnu shed tears all day long, hoping hard for her husband to come home soon."

"In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, the north wind is blowing, the reed flowers are turning white, and it's already late autumn."

"Meng Jiangnu thought that it would be very cold when her husband was building the Great Wall outside the Pass, and she was worried about his illness, so she set off alone and personally gave the cold clothes she had prepared to her husband thousands of miles away."
