EDITORIAL
OF QIN DYNASTY
Emperor Qin divided his territory in to 36 provinces and
choose government officials to rule over the province. He also improved the
trade system by keeping all the roads the same length and he standardized coins
and language. This was the start of Emperor Qin’s new bureaucratic empire. The
dynasty's bureaucracy greatly helped Ancient China prosper.
Emperor
Qin passed a law and made all the roads the same length
and size, which ended up
helping China because it helped increase the amount of trades done. The
separation of the dynasty into provinces also helped China militarily. It made
being able to receive info about attacks and other harmful things faster.
Separating them into smaller districts gave him and his officials complete and
total power over the country. One of the most important things he did was
standardize the coins and language, making traders and dealers speak the same
language so they are able to better communicate with each other.
Although many argue that the
Emperor’s division of the provinces put power-hungry officials in charge which
damaged the power of the Qin, the bureaucracy strengthened rather than weakened
his power. A government official, General Hu, sent his men after innocent
peasants to increase his body counts of “ bandits” so he could stay high in the emperor praises. So even though
he was trying to get more political power, he still remained loyal to Emperor
Qin. despite the power struggle
between the emperor and his people the Qin dynasty greatly
helped Ancient China .
