【Okay, back to the topic.】

After unifying the country, the First Emperor worked diligently to govern the country. Internally, he abolished feudal fiefdoms, established prefectures and counties, standardized the wheel gauge, standardized the currency and weights and measures, and built the Great Wall, the Lingqu Canal, and the Qinzhidao Road. Externally, he defeated the Xiongnu in the north and conquered the Baiyue in the south, laying a solid political foundation for future generations.

[It can be said to be an unprecedented achievement! ]

[In addition, his diligence was well-known among the emperors of the Qin Dynasty.]

[Historical records state: "All matters under heaven, no matter how big or small, are decided by the emperor."]

Our First Emperor was a renowned workaholic. He reviewed at least one stone (120 jin) of memorials a day, which would be about 60 jin (120 jin) in today's money. He would have palace servants weigh him every night, and he wouldn't sleep if he didn't have one stone.

This kind of self-discipline and perseverance is truly admirable! She's truly worthy of being my charming ancestor!

Tianmu's entire speech was full of praise for Qin Shihuang, and his enthusiasm and admiration were beyond words.

People in different dynasties have different attitudes towards this: some admire it, some disdain it, and some refuse to accept it...

Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin: "The Qin Emperor's achievements in pacifying the world and securing the frontiers are truly indelible."

Wei Zheng: "Using people as a mirror, we can understand our gains and losses. Your Majesty should learn from the diligence of the Qin Emperor and not be distracted by material things."

Li Shimin: "...I will review two more memorials when I return."

Didn’t you just get a top-notch harrier last time and play with it for a while?

Moreover, because the old man kept making trouble for a long time, he ended up suffocating the harrier in his arms.

Oh my God!

Since ancient times, ministers have always feared their kings, but with him the situation was reversed.

Alas, it is so frustrating for him to be an emperor!

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Although Qin Shi Huang had some achievements and was as diligent as ours, he imposed heavy taxes and levied heavy taxes, wasting the people's wealth and resources, just like Jie of Xia, Zhou of Shang, and Yang of Sui. He is truly a tyrant of all time."

As a person from a grassroots background, he empathized with the poor people and naturally disliked emperors who implemented harsh policies and harmed the people.

Empress Ma: "Your Majesty, you should be diligent in your work and love your people, but you should also take care of your health. Don't get angry all the time, as anger is harmful to your health."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Okay, okay, the Queen still cares about our family."

The ministers looked at the queen with tears in their eyes: Your Majesty still cares about us!

They only shouted "Long live the emperor", but "Thousand years of life for the queen" was their prayer from the bottom of their hearts!

【clear】

Yongzheng: "Putting aside the merits and demerits of Qin Shi Huang, I still acknowledge his diligence."

Hongli: "Father, how can that tyrant compare to you in terms of diligence? You only get less than three hours of rest a day. I am always heartbroken when I see you like that."

Yongzheng: "My diligence in government affairs comes naturally from my heart, not from any compulsion."

Ministers: Who among my colleagues understands? I've never seen a boss who loves his work so much.

Not only did he despise them for not submitting memorials, he also took away their work. It was not enough to call him a "workaholic", he had to add the word "devil" at the end.

Qin

Li Si: "Congratulations to your Majesty for your great achievements and your fame will be passed down through the ages!"

Chunyu Yue: "Even people in later generations recognize the county system... Shouldn't we restore the feudal system?"

Fusu: "Father, they call you 'Charming Old Ancestor'. I speculate that they are not immortals, but people from later generations."

After saying that, Fusu glanced at his father out of the corner of his eye.

He is eight feet six inches tall, with broad shoulders and a slim waist, a high nose and deep eyes. He is intimidating without being angry. Even though he is almost forty years old, he still exudes a mature charm that is profound and unyielding.

Well, he is worthy of being his charming father.

Qin Shi Huang: "If I were a person from a later era, then pacifying the Baiyue would be a sure thing for me."

Tu Sui: "Your Majesty's achievements are unparalleled and you are under the will of Heaven. The Baiyue people are now part of the Qin Empire!"

On the other side, Baiyue.

The Yue people looked at the sky. Although they were illiterate, they could understand the four words "Southern Expedition to the Baiyue".

"Is the Great Qin about to attack us? What should we do?"

"Damn the Qin Dynasty, they actually want to invade our homeland!"

"Our terrain is rugged and filled with miasma. It shouldn't be that easy for Qin soldiers to invade."

"But I think it's also good to be incorporated into the Great Qin. We can have enough food and clothes, and be free from worries. Look at how good the people in heaven are living!"

"I also think that if we can live in a strong and sturdy house like that, we won't have to worry about the wind, rain, and attacks from wild animals."

The remnants of the Six Kingdoms had the same complicated feelings as the Baiyue people.

Their country was destroyed, their families were ruined, and their wives and children were separated. How could they not hate the executioner who caused all this?

But the prosperous scene on the sky made them yearn for it.

After all, people always have to look forward.

No one can resist the torrent of history.

The century-long conflicts during the Warring States Period and their national hatred and family feuds were only briefly mentioned in history.

Regardless of how people in each dynasty reacted, the sky screen continued to play.

Some of you who don't know much about ancient history might ask, what is a memorial? Why is it still measured in pounds?

[Here, the blogger explains in detail. ]

[Zouzhang (memorials) are like the documents a company president needs to handle every day. As for why they were weighed by the jin (pound), it was because the written materials at the time were very old, long, strips of bamboo, which were both heavy and difficult to write on.]

It was not until the First Qin Emperor invented papermaking that he developed a thin, smooth, and easy-to-write paper made from plant fibers such as bamboo, hemp, and tree bark, which replaced bamboo slips.

As one of the ten great inventions, papermaking has profound and far-reaching historical significance. It not only reduced the cost of reading, but also promoted the dissemination of knowledge and the popularization of education...
