Daily Life: How People Get By

Emper Qin was a whole-hearted believer in leagalism.  He didn't take no for an answer and didn't take one bit of criticism. He even burned all books with content in them that wasn't what he believed in to show that he was in control and nobody else could do anything about it. These things changed daily life a lot because the citizens of China had to be careful about where they went, and what they say at all times. People were tortured and killed everyday for not believing in the same things as Emperor Qin. If you didn't say anything about the government or Emperor Qin then its was like living a normal life, kids go to school and parents and adults work. Adults didn't really get to pick their jobs, though. Because the government got rid of land lords, that made a lot of people jobless. Which means that more people could work on projects that the government were doing as in the Great Wall project and Qin's tomb.Without these extra men and women, these big projects wouldn't of been able to get done as quickly as they did.
