Traveling Through the Qin Dynasty: I Became the First Emperor of Qin

Qin Tian, ​​a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, was reborn unexpectedly due to an archaeological accident. His soul traveled through the Qin State at the end of the Warring States Period and became a young Yingzheng who had not yet taken charge of the government and was controlled by Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji. Knowing the fate of the second generation of the Qin Dynasty, he decided to change his fate and reshape the structure of the Qin Dynasty with modern knowledge and historical perspective. Before taking office, he endured dormancy, secretly trained his confidants Meng Tian and Li Si, and used the "Lao Ai Rebellion" to eradicate Lu Buwei's influence in one fell swoop and firmly grasp the royal power; during the unification war, he innovated military tactics, introduced simple iron smelting technology to improve the quality of weapons, optimized the grain and grass transportation system, shortened the time to unify the six countries, and reduced war casualties. After unifying the country, he abandoned the extreme policy of "burning books and harassing Confucianism" and changed it to "respecting the law and integrating Confucianism", retaining cultural classics and absorbing talents from hundreds of schools of thought; when implementing the system of counties and counties, he took into account the need for local autonomy and eased class conflicts; when building water conservancy and building roads, he paid attention to the deployment of people's labor to avoid excessive labor. At the same time, he dealt with the border threats from the Xiongnu and Baiyue, improved military equipment and tactics, and stabilized the border; he trained Fusu as a qualified successor, corrected his shortcomings in benevolence and softness, and paved the way for the inheritance of the Qin Dynasty. In the end, Qin Tian not only freed the Qin Dynasty from its short-lived fate, but also created a powerful empire with a vast territory, cultural compatibility, and stable people's livelihood, and became the first emperor in the true sense of "the achievements of the three emperors and the virtues of the five emperors".
