Qin: China's great ruler

                                     My Interview with Qin
                                                       By Matthew Busconi
                                                              2/8/203 B.C.
Question:  Why do you think having a spy system is good for China?
Answer:  Having a spy system keeps this country strong.  If we have a spy system China will be hard working, and turn in those slackers who don’t work as hard as they should or if they goof off on the job.  I will be able to know what is going on in China .  It keeps China aware and on their feet.

Question:  Why should we build a Great Wall?
Answer:  We should build a Great Wall because it will prevent invaders from entering China.  We won’t be put to war defending China, because the wall will end the war from the beginning.  If the invaders can’t enter China they wont be able to attack.  The wall will go at the northern border of China where we take most of our blows.  It is easier to travel over land, so the wall must be on the northern border.  We will experience less wars and feel more secure as a country.

Question:  Why did you split China into 36 provinces?
Answer:  I split China into 36 provinces because it would be much harder to know what is going on around China.  Not knowing what is going on could cause rebellions, and if China is split up into 36 provinces, China will be more secure.  I had elected 2 of my best government officials to run each province.  The provinces will have support and someone to guide them, rather than let the people rot and panic not knowing what to do for themselves.  I believe this is the best way to run China.

Question:  What do you think about Confucius?
Answer:  I disagree strongly with the teaching of Confucius.  All Confucian scholars who spread and teach others about the beliefs of Confucius will be executed immediately.  All book that teach Confucianism will be burned to erase all the ideas of Confucianism.  All people who rebel against this will be forced to work on the Great Wall immediately.  All followers will be forced to work on the Great Wall.  I don’t agree with the teachings of Confucius.

Question:  Do you have hopes as emperor?
Answer:  I have the hope that the workers will finish the Great Wall within my limit of 30 years.  I also am going to be immortal.  My people within the government have created me my very own immortality pills.  They make me immortal and strong as leader or China.

Me:  Thank you for your time Emperor Qin.
Emperor Qin:  Thank you for having me.
