He also standardized money, weights, and measurements. Great Wall This wall was also called the 10000 Li long wall. The purpose of the Great Wall was to keep invaders out. Attackers would have to gallop halfway to Tibet to get around the wall. Builders were forced to make a decision: work on the wall or die. It took 10 years and 300000 workers to complete the Great Wall Legalism/ Harsh Punishments The emperor believed that he had to control every minute of the peoples lives. If anyone did anything out of line they could be beheaded or whipped. It was illegal to whine about the Qin government. Once he executed 460 confucian scholars. He also burned all of the Confucian books so no could learn anything other than legalism. Conclusion The Qin has contributed so much to the world we live in today.
