Today in 221 BC, I was sitting outside watching my dad plant rice, and then The Great Shi Huangdi passed by heading in to take over the last fighting state. He stopped by to have some tea and told me about how strong his army was, how he used cavalry to have the upper advantage on other chinese armies.
And for some reason when I thanked him for stopping by, he gave me a horse. I asked him why they do that and he said that is how I like to have my government run. Legalism. Rewarding the good and punishing the bad.
Q- Was it weird being the ruler of a country at the age of 13.
A- I guess you just have to be ready, and I also guess it was in my blood to be a ruler and it was just my time.
Q- How hard was it to feed all of the soldiers?
A- Feeding every soldier was very hard.
Q- Are there any other things that you did to help unifie China?
A- Yes, i took all of the walls that the states of China made and made one great wall.
But before he left he told me of a dream that he had. He told me that he would be buried in an amazing tomb filled with liquid mercury and traps. And he would have his people build him Terra Cota soldiers that would protect him.
This is important because for once China is under one rule, China has their first emperor, and China is now the biggest country in the world.
