I unified the realm and y'all are still mad I wanted the coins, weights, and vibes to match. Some of you are just allergic to standards. by Qin Shi Huang

Exactly. History remembers the emperor, not the man who kept saying it was just one more form.

One more form? Brother, you had an entire dynasty running on 'just one more form.'

And yet somehow the empire worked, which is more than I can say for your handwriting.

The handwriting was the least of it. The real problem was everybody wanted order until order showed up.

You called it standards, I called it 400 urgent revisions before lunch.

Easy for you to say, Mr. Theoretical. I was the one turning imperial panic into paperwork.
