Master Builders +Workers + Workers’ families & relatives
Yeah, yeah, yes… We mean... What? Wait a second, dear emperor. You just said that you agree with
us and our way of thinking. But, what are you going to say and what do you mean by that? “However”?
Qin Shi Huang
Oh, come on, people. Listen carefully and listen good. Like you just said, I totally agree with that.
However, have you people ever think about the future? What would happen to me and all of us if we don’t
build the Great Wall? How am I going to be safe and protective, right? So…
Master Builders + Workers + Workers’ families & relatives
Dear God, Dear Emperor, Dear Qin Shi Huang, please change your mind and please tell us about your
final decisions and reasoning to go with your decision. Please.
Qin Shi Huang
As a human being, I am really truly sorry to announce this to you all. But seriously, we have got to
build this Great Wall no matter what. It’s not that I don’t agree with you all, I actually do but there’s no
way to solve this problem anyhow. It’s either trade or build the Great Wall. But as I was thinking, I don’t
want to trade with them, so my decision is, we really got to build the Great Wall. I am so sorry.
I am truly sorry about my decision.
Master Builders + Workers + Workers’ families & relatives
Sorry? You’re truly sorry? You agree with us? We told you, we begged you and begged you. And
THAT is your final decision? How could you do this to all of us? You mean that you agree to say to
sacrifice the human lives while building this Great Wall? Why would you behave and say like that? We
know your plan and everything but really, please, this is really mean of you. We don’t really understand.
What you’re saying doesn’t make any sense to us. How can? We’re so disappointed and we’re so in misery.
Qin Shi Huang
Didn’t I say that I was sorry? I think I did, didn’t I, huh? I definitely have said that I am truly sorry for
this decision of mine. And listen, you really want to know my reasoning? Fine. Listen then.
(
Master Builders + Workers + Workers’ families & relatives are all disappointed and in a misery.
Their mouths are completely closed, they’re saying nothing. They shake their heads but are listening to his
reasoning)
Qin Shi Huang
Now, your question was, why would I say to sacrifice the human lives, right?
I have some reasons: first, it’s to consolidate the territory and protect the country from the harassment
of the northern nomadic tribes. Second, it’s to protect against harassment by the Hun aristocrats. Third, I
am not sending anyone to build this Great Wall. It’s my slaves and criminals, enemies, peasants, and
anyone who I dislike here. And I don’t want any of my people to be together or be related with the so-
called barbarians, no matter what! I cannot trade anything with those barbarians.
And now, that’s it. That’s my reasoning. You all heard my final decision, the reasons and everything.
Right? Now, go do your things, whatever they are. This meeting ends this point. Done.
