Some of the scholars who were punished because of thier writings were sent to work on the emperor's huge building project. this project was later called great wall of China.
The great wall of china still stands. it goes through the mountains of northern china and is more that 1500miles long. the wall was built for two reasons. First, it was meant to keep the farmers from leaving their lands and becoming nomads, second, it was built to keep out the enemy.
To complete this massive structure, a crew of 300000 men were used. the wall is nearly 30 feet hifh, and in some places it is wide enough to allow five horses to run side by side.
