Dah duh da da, the great wall was constructed! However the Qin emperor forced all the poor to do this. Forced meaning do it or die, and if you do it you get no pay and chances of dieing anyway aren't slim. Hence the reason he was hated. But Shi Huangdi didn't really care because they had to do it anyway (or die) and truely he was just "unifying China" and protecting them from enemy attacts. The Great Wall is thousands of miles long with about 25 feet hight sections. Every 200-300 yards there is a watch tower. Peasants collected and hauled millions of tons of dirt, stone, and rubble to make the core of the wall. The outside was built up of slabs cut of stone. The wall still stands today.
