The First Emperor of China
Around early 259 B.C - 210 B.C

My thesis- How did "Qin Shi Huang" organize the Chinese civilization from a big mess to a strong empire?

**- The First Emperor in China**
Qin Shi Huang- He was the first King in China --- Qin Dynasty, named Ying Zheng. He was born at the period of Warring States. He had completely no idea and chance to become a king when he was born. His father Ying Yi Ren was only the son of an unpopular concubine of the king of Qin Dynasty. So when after training, he started his job to lead the country of Qin when his father died. Ying Zheng succeeded the throne at the age of 13. By 22, he overthrew Lu Buwei and gained actual power of a king.

The Three most important Changed
Qin Shi Huang finish the battles with five most strongest country, those are Han(韓,Qin year 17), Zhao(趙,Qin year 18), Wei(魏,Qin year 20), Chu(楚,Qin year 24), Yan(燕, Qin year 25), Chie(齊,Qin year). There were lots huge changed of governor, economic, and civilization of China. But how does he fix the uncontrolled of Organizations? cite:http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:China_2c.jpg&variant=zh-tw

-Words integrated
Qin Shi Huang want all people can locate to each other from many different places, so he created a new "written way"; An other way describe it "put the words together and making a new written words." He chose many similar words from those six countries, and created a new words called "Small Seal Script" and make people easier to read and right in the same way. cite:http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:XiaozhuanQinquan.jpg

-Money integrated
The King need to make people survive, what is the most important sources they were looking for? Yes, food. But how would they get the food ? They got it from store, so far so good. But how would they trade it? By money! The money came from six different country? there's no possibility value still keeping the same way between six countries. So Qin Shi Huang created new money integrity, so that the people in Qin can use same value to trade anything.

-Standard of the weight
If the money were different value, then the units of measurement should be also different, too. So Qin Shi Huang made out his own units of measuring the weight,and tell people they can't use the money other then this.



The government system
Qin Shi Huang had make the influence profound reform to the country he's responsible of, "Qin". He made an abatement of **[|Feudalism]** for gather the power of him self; He create the system of Commandery and prefecture for organized big towns or cities. So the power always control only by mental government system.
