In the 37th year of Qin Shihuang (210 BC), on a scorching summer day, Qin Shihuang, known as the "one emperor through the ages", was on his fifth east tour. 26nbsp;

Yingzheng himself was not in good health, and with the addition of hard work and hot weather, he became seriously ill all of a sudden.And Zhao Gao also started his plot, hastily transferred Shangqing Mengyi away, and planned to persuade Hu Hai to threaten Li Si to achieve further goals.At this moment, in Zhao Gao's eyes, Ying Zheng is no longer the hero he used to be, and when he dies depends on Zhao Gao's mood.

It's a pity that at this vacancy, a fairy stepped out of the sky and took away the first emperor.Three days later, the immortal returned, and the first emperor who returned with him had completely recovered his health and became more energetic, as if he had suddenly looked younger by dozens of years.

This immortal is Ji Qing, who traveled back to the year when Qin Shihuang made his fifth east tour.Fortunately, before the first emperor died, Ji Qing rescued the seriously ill Ying Zheng, improved his physique and prolonged his life.

As for Zhao Gao's thoughts, Ji Qing already knew through mind reading skills, and told Ying Zheng by the way.It is conceivable that this ambitious valet who was reused by Ying Zheng will end up.Zhao Gao is actually not an eunuch, but just a servant, equivalent to the position of secretary to the mayor.Otherwise, Zhao Gao would usurp power as he did in history and become the second first emperor.

Ji Qing was in a very good mood. Not only did he heal the first emperor, but also reconfirmed what kind of emperor the first emperor was during the three days of contact.To sum it up in four words, the eternal emperor is called Yingzheng, and he definitely deserves his name.

The glory of the first emperor's life can be as bright as the sun and the moon.

Ying Zheng's achievements are too many.Let's not talk about his achievements when he was young, let's start with the big ones.

First, unify the six countries.Its overall strategic policy is to concentrate forces from near to far, and defeat each one; first take Zhao from the north, Wei from the middle, and Han from the south, and then enter into Yan, Chu, and Qi.Actually, there are some differences, but it's all done.

Qin Wangzheng finally unified China in the No.20 six years when he ascended the Qin throne.The world is preliminarily determined, and the first thing that the 39-year-old Qin Wangzheng wants to do is to re-establish a title for himself.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, princes of various countries were called "jun" or "king".In the late Warring States period, Qin State and Qi State were once called "Emperor", but this title was not the same at that time.Qin Shihuang adopted the word "Huang" and added the word "Emperor" under it because of the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors", creating a new title of "Emperor" for himself.Since then, "emperor" has become the title of the supreme ruler of China.

In order to effectively manage the country and lay a foundation for future generations, Qin Shihuang drew on the specific experience of setting up official positions during the Warring States Period, and established a fairly complete centralized system and regime.

This centralized regime established by the Qin Dynasty has been imitated by successive dynasties ever since.Among them, the "Three Dukes and Nine Qings" in the Han Dynasty basically copied the Qin system.

After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he adopted Li Si's suggestion, abolished the enfeoffment system, and switched to the county system.Local administrative agencies are divided into county and county levels.The main officials of counties and counties are appointed and dismissed by the central government.The county has guards, lieutenants, and supervisors (supervisory censors).The county guard is in charge of the county.The county lieutenant assists the county guard and conducts military affairs.Supervision by the County Superintendent.Qin Shihuang divided the whole country into 36 counties, and later increased to 41 counties.

In Ji Qing's view, the centralization system and government organization are far more realistic than the title of Emperor Shihuang, and this is where the real merit lies.

Since the Yin and Shang Dynasties, writing has gradually become popular.Bronze inscriptions, which are official characters, are relatively consistent in shape.However, there are regional differences in the weapons, pottery inscriptions, silk scripts, bamboo slips and other folk writings of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.This situation has hindered the economic and cultural exchanges between different regions, and also affected the effective implementation of the policies and decrees of the central government.

Therefore, after Qin unified the Central Plains, Qin Shihuang ordered Li Si and others to organize and unify the writing.Based on the big seal script commonly used by Qin people during the Warring States period, Li Si absorbed the advantages of the simple and simple gestures of the tadpole script popular in Qilu and other places, and created a new character with uniform, round and neat shapes and simple gestures, called "Qin seal script", also known as "Xiaozhuan" is used as the official standard text, and other variant characters are abolished at the same time.

In addition, a government official named Cheng Miao was imprisoned in Yunyang Prison for a crime. During his 10 years in prison, he made a thorough investigation of a change that had appeared in the evolution of fonts at that time (later called "Libian"). Summarize.This move was appreciated by Qin Shihuang, so he was released and promoted to censor, and ordered him to "fix the book" and formulate a new font, which is "official script".Official script broke the tradition of ancient Chinese characters, laid the foundation of regular script, and improved writing efficiency.

Qin Shihuang's order to unify and simplify characters is a summary of the development and evolution of ancient Chinese characters, and it is also a major reform of characters. He has played an important role in the development of Chinese culture.

During the Warring States period, the weights and measures systems and monetary systems of various countries were very inconsistent.

After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, it was stipulated that the currency was divided into two types: gold and copper: gold was called Shangcoin, and the unit was 镒 (the two in Qin Dynasty were 镒); copper coins were unified into round square holes, and the unit was half liang.Gold coins were mainly rewarded by the emperor, while copper coins were the main medium of circulation.

Qin Shihuang used the degree, quantity, and balance of the original Qin State as the unit standard, and eliminated systems that were inconsistent with this.The Qin court engraved the edict inscription on the standard vessel promulgated by the original Shang Yang, or made another standard vessel with the same inscription, and sent it to the whole country.The use of degrees, quantities, and scales different from those of the standard instrument is prohibited.In terms of field system, the Qin Dynasty stipulated that 6 feet (230 centimeters today) is a step, and 240 steps are one mu.This mu system will continue to be used for thousands of years without changing.During the Warring States period, the shapes and structures of vehicles in various countries were different.After Qin Shihuang unified the country, the width of the car was set at six feet, and one car could pass through the whole country.

"Practice in the same spirit" is to rectify customs and establish a unified code of ethics and behavior.In this regard, the Qin Dynasty also paid considerable attention.

For example, in the 28th year of Qin Shihuang (219 BC), Qin Shihuang came to the foot of Mount Tai.This was originally the hometown of Qi State, known as "the state of etiquette".The first emperor asked people to record on the stone carved on Mount Tai, "Men and women are courteous, obey their duties carefully, separate the inside and outside, and the uncleanness is not clean, and it will be passed on to the descendants" (meaning that the boundaries between men and women are clear, treat each other with courtesy, women (Govern the inside, men rule the outside, each fulfills its responsibilities, so as to set a good example for future generations) and be commended.In the 37th year of the first emperor (210 BC), the inscription left on the stone in Kuaiji severely flogged the prevalent local prostitution, and corrected the injustice of men and women in the Wuyue area with the clause that killing an adulterer is innocent. strict customs.

"Chuan Guo Yuxi" is made of "Heshibi".It is the seal handed down by the emperors of successive dynasties after Qin Dynasty, and it was engraved by the order of Qin Shihuang.It has a radius of four inches, with five dragons crossed by Shanghai New York. On the front, there are eight seal characters written by Li Si, "Ordered by the heavens, and longevity will last forever", as a token of "imperial power granted by the gods, orthodox and legal".Afterwards, the emperors of all dynasties took this seal as a symbol of auspiciousness, and enshrined it as a rare treasure, and it was also an important weapon of the country.Getting it symbolizes that it is "destined by the sky", and losing it means that it is "exhausted".Those who ascended to great positions without this seal were ridiculed as "white emperors", and were despised by the world for their lack of confidence.As a result, those who wanted to find great treasures were scrambling for each other, and the jade seal of the handed down country changed its owner repeatedly, and it was moved to Chixian County, Shenzhou for more than two thousand years.However, it finally disappeared, and it has never been seen so far, which makes people sigh.

After Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, it began to build the Great Wall in the north.Build roads and build canals.The corvee is very heavy.However, most of the large-scale corvee was forced by the situation at that time.

At that time, the Central Plains had just been unified, and the original aristocratic forces in various places were still very strong. If the communication and connection between the central and local regions were not maintained, the country would be in a situation of splitting again at any time. traffic and connections, so roads must be built as soon as possible.

Due to years of war, the agricultural facilities of the former countries have been greatly damaged, or have been in disrepair due to the war; agricultural production must be resumed as soon as possible after reunification; therefore, a considerable amount of manpower is spent on dredging rivers, repairing canals, waterway traffic and Agricultural irrigation is beneficial and necessary.

The purpose of building the Great Wall is to protect the lives and properties of the people on the northern border, and its purpose is also to reduce the burden on the people; since the Xiongnu are nomads, their cavalry has a wide range of activities. Without the Great Wall, many troops would be needed to defend it. The people have added a great burden.Qin Shihuang did not build the Great Wall. He just connected the original Great Wall to the north of Qin, Zhao and Yan. However, the history books blame Qin Shihuang for all the suffering caused by the Great Wall, which is not in line with the facts.It turned out that there were some Great Walls between countries, but the Great Wall in the north was incomplete; after the reunification, he ordered the Great Walls between the original countries to be dismantled, and then the Great Walls in the north of the original Qin, Zhao, and Yan countries were connected to prevent the northern Huns from invading south.Left us a world-famous Great Wall.

Due to the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the society at that time, it seriously hindered Qin Shihuang's unification of the people's thoughts of the original six countries he conquered, and threatened the rule of the Qin Dynasty.Therefore, in order to unify the thoughts of the people of the original six countries, Qin Shihuang began to destroy all historical books except "Qin Ji" in 154 BC, and the folks were only allowed to keep books about medicine, divination and planting. (This is Li Si's suggestion!) Until the fall of the Qin Dynasty in 6 BC, it was called "burning books" in history.Nevertheless, he did order some of the imperial treasures to be kept in the Xianyang Royal Library.

In 214 BC, the warlocks in Xianyang talked about Qin Shihuang behind his back, accusing him of being greedy for power and enjoying punishment and killing as a prestige.After Qin Shihuang knew about it, he sent people to investigate. For 460 people with conclusive evidence, they were executed, and those who were innocent were released. (The saying of "pitting Confucianism" is wrong)

Soon after Qin Shihuang came to the throne, he began to send people to design and build Qin Shihuang's mausoleum.After the unification of the six countries, the Afang Palace was built immediately, and the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang employed 72 people at most.However, the Afang Palace archaeological team, jointly formed by the Institute of Archeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Xi’an Cultural Relics Protection and Archeology Institute, conducted archaeological work on the Afang Palace site and found that the Afang Palace was not built in the first place, and only the foundation of the palace was completed in the Qin Dynasty.

In addition, there are Xingle Palace, Liangshan Palace and so on.

According to the "Sanfu Old Things" record: Qin State has "Biao Zhongwai Dian Bai 45".According to the records of "Historical Records Qin Shihuang Benji": Qin State has "three hundred palaces in Guanzhong and more than four hundred outside Guanzhong". In addition, there are "270 palaces and temples within two hundred miles of Xianyang".Where there is a palace, there must be beauties. When the six kingdoms were destroyed, all the beauties from all countries were captured and placed in the palaces that were built.The total number of court ladies, according to Sanfu's old records: there are more than ten thousand women in the harem, and their spirits are soaring to the sky.Moreover, after the death of Qin Shihuang, most of these court ladies were forced to be buried.

The construction of the Lishan Tomb began after King Qin ascended the throne. It took more than 70 years and 00 people were employed to build it every year.From the outside, the remaining tomb has a circumference of 55 meters and a height of [-] meters.The interior decoration is extremely luxurious, with a copper-cast roof, mercury as rivers, lakes and seas, and it is full of organs.Just looking at the terracotta warriors and horses in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, we can see that the people who built this mausoleum had a heavy burden.Moreover, the craftsmen who built the mausoleum were all buried alive after the mausoleum was built.

In order to seek the medicine of immortality, the alchemist Xu Shi (that is, Xu Fu) was sent to lead thousands of boys and girls to the East China Sea to seek gods, etc., which cost a lot of money and manpower and deepened the suffering of the people.

Big construction?Aren't many officials now engaged in large-scale construction projects? !This is tradition.Aren't many cities now shouting "building an international metropolis" also building image projects that waste people's money and money?Even many impoverished counties are building extravagant buildings.In history, we mentioned how many buildings there were in the Qin Empire - the Great Wall, Lingqu, Qin Zhidao, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and Abang Palace.The Great Wall is a typical military barrier. At that time, the threat of the Huns was too great and it must be built.The Lingqu is a project for semi-military purposes. It guarantees the empire's rule over the Lingnan area, and it must be there.Qinzhidao is equivalent to the current expressway system, and it is a national infrastructure.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is the underground palace after the death of Qin Shihuang. The emperors of all dynasties have devoted their attention to the underground palace, let alone the great men of Qin Shihuang's generation?Now let’s talk about Efang Palace. Efang Palace is equivalent to the White House in the United States and Zhongnanhai in China. It marks the image of this country and is an image project of the country.The construction of Efang Palace is not only the residence of the emperor, but also the political center of the world's first empire.It is really wise for Qin Shihuang to combine his personal residence with the imperial office and the image project of the empire. Do we have to ask Qin Shihuang to build a magnificent government hall like the "public servant" of a certain county now, and then build a local image project, personal first Is it a villa with a single residence that specializes in taking care of mistresses?

We cannot use current scientific cognition to demand people's cognition of science 00 years ago.The search for elixir was the "scientific research activity" in society back then—wasn't the person who invented gunpowder in China the alchemist?Not the working people (at that time the working people had no time, no energy, no financial resources to do this).Qin Shihuang sought elixir for the purpose of obtaining longevity, which is the same as the purpose of modern bioengineering research.That is to say, Qin Shihuang was an emperor who supported scientific research on a certain level. During the book burning operation, he ordered not to burn books related to fairy books, divination, and agriculture (equivalent to the current science and technology, medical treatment, astronomy, metallurgy, geography, and architecture). ), these actions have undoubtedly played a positive role in China's basic chemistry, physics, agriculture, and architecture. . .
