After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms (221 BC - 210 BC), the Guanzhong Plain, as the core area of the empire, implemented the "land grant system". However, the implementation of harsh punishments, heavy corvee labor and new weights and measures greatly increased the pressure on farmers to survive. Shi Zhuang was originally a farmer in Xinzheng, South Korea. After the death of Korea, he was moved to Yueyang County, Guanzhong (today's Lintong, Shaanxi Province), and was allocated hundreds of acres of "new land". He is taciturn but tough as stone. He is proficient in Korean farming techniques and his greatest wish is to "let his family survive in the new land." Under the harsh system of the Qin Dynasty, a farmer from the Six Nations used his ancestral farming skills to adapt to the new land, fight against natural and man-made disasters, protect his family and crops, and bear witness to the struggle and perseverance of the people at the bottom in the early days of the Unification.
