       Emperor Qin Standardizing
                        Qin Dynasty Times

                     By Ani Vehapetian

Its 210 B.C and Emperor Qin is regulating people’s lives with harsh

punishments. But one month ago Emperor Qin standardized the systems of weight,

measures, money, written languages and laws. Many people are happy but some aren’t

with these new systems. All of these things he has achieved have promoted the

development of Qin’s economy.

Before Emperor Qin standardized money, weight, measure, written languages,

and laws he ordered people to build the Terra Cotta Army and built the Great Wall of

China. This took hard work and many people died building the Great Wall of China.

One person that was helpful was Lui Khen he is a family member of Emperor Qin

 that plans out. Lui tries to make more of the workers work to like Qin does, and helps

Qin standardizes systems. Another witness is Bao An that is an enemy of Qin hates the

rules, systems of Qin, but is an important person to the Qin dynasty. Bao wants to break

rules and have another Emperor instead of Qin.

                                                         Qin Dynasty

            Emperor Qin is trying to help China to have standardized money, law, written

 language, measures, and weight. Since Emperor Qin is standardizing, the country will be

proud and live a better life. Some people like that he is trying to make it a better country but

some don't like the way he thinks. Emperor Qin should continue trying to make better

achievements in standardizing our systems.

 
            This is a good thing because people could use the same money anywhere they want

 in the country. So if they travel or visit family and friends they can use their money and not

 have to trade it in for different types or values of money. People could also have fairness in

trading. They could have better fairness in trading because the measures and weights are

the same pounds, inches, etc. In addition, people could communicate better if they speak,

 write and read the same language.

Some people disagree with this and think Qin shouldn't pay workers or use them to

standardize systems. They would also disagree because they don't like the way Qin plans

 or thinks about the country like burnings books of Confucius. But even though the emperor

 is wasting time and money were getting benefits and feedback for the country and people.

 This is the best way to keep our country happy, organized, and equal to or better than other

 Countries.

            Emperor Qin is helping and cares about people in China so he standardized many

 systems and is working on others. The Emperor should do other useful things so people

 can have more freedom and a better life.

                                                    Qin Dynasty

  The Qin Dynasty (221-207 B.C) had borders extending to the present east Yin

Saun mountains and to the Yellow River. The Warring State periods borders were divided 

into different countries and places but the Qin dynasty was one big dynasty. The capital of

the Qin Dynasty was Xiangyang on the Wei River. It was the center of politics, economies,

 and the culture of Emperor Qin. Near Xiangyang was the Terra Cotta army. During Qin’s

reign he expanded the Xianyang beyond the Walls.
