Shi Huangdi Text

Shi Huangdi was strict but necessary. Established strong empire with $, trade, education, rules, army, etc. Clearly he was effective b/c his practices followed by Han Dynasty.

SH was very intense, but got things done in China. Maybe we judge him differently now than how he really was. Book burning and his harsh punishments and death from guilt by association were very extreme though...
