       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.
