It is 220 B.C. and our official first emperor has now started the Great Wall of China. Ying Zheng, the emperor, is using his plan to link pre-existing walls to make one long wall for battles in the near future. The wall is also planned to be used as a boundary line for China. Even though the building has just begun, people have already started to die because of no food and water. According to Ying Zheng this wall is going to take many years to build I wonder how many lives it’s going to take.
