At the beginning of the construction, there were three severe winters. Years of war have made people poor, wearing thin clothes, hungry and cold, and with heavy work, many people have already laid down.
The minister of supervision looked at the poor and let the migrant workers grind slowly. A winter and a spring passed, and the levee didn't grow much.
When Qin Shihuang heard that the dike was being repaired slowly, he ordered the supervisor to be killed and replaced with a new supervisor. When the minister saw his predecessor killed, his neck went numb as soon as he took office. He thinks all day and night that he must hand in a job as scheduled.
He posted notices in counties, villages, towns and villages, asking every household to send someone to repair the golden embankment, or else they would be arrested. As a result, the white-haired old man, the patient lying in bed moaning, the urchin at school and the woman who just gave birth to the doll were all taken to repair the embankment.
At the dike repair site, digging, carrying baskets and tamping are very heavy, which makes people exhausted every day. The Minister of Supervision is working around the clock to urge quick work! Do it quickly! The dam is getting longer and higher. People who build dikes are getting darker and thinner every day.
As the flood season approached, Qin Shihuang issued another imperial edict, which was to be completed within ten days. When the imperial edict arrived, the minister of supervision was frightened. Don't say ten days, it will be difficult to finish in another month! He will die sooner or later, so he risked his life to deliver the newspaper. It is difficult to repair the golden embankment in ten days.
After Qin Shihuang read the letter, he wanted to kill the supervisor again. On the other hand, he thinks that killing alone is not an option, and everyone in the world will say that they are cruel. But he still didn't change the deadline, saying that he would see the levee after ten days.
This is even more painful for those who repair dikes. Work day and night every day, without rest; In a few days, piles of people on the levee were exhausted.
When the ten-day deadline arrived, Qin Shihuang rode his horse and asked the supervisor, "Is the Golden Dike finished?" The minister of supervision said with trepidation, "Because there is no soil, there are still some places left unfilled."
Qin Shihuang said, "I rode from west to east to see how the levee was repaired." When my horse comes back, all the golden dams will be repaired and filled. Otherwise, watch your head. "Qin Shihuang said to the supervisor, riding a horse, with a whip, Ma Xiangdong ran away.
After careful consideration, the supervisor finally came up with an idea. Ordering the dead to be filled in uneven places and covered with some soil will save a lot of soil. After the body is filled, the dam is still uneven.
The Minister of Supervision also ordered that migrant workers who are sick and unable to move should also make up for it. Suddenly, the levee cried loudly, and no one of the people was willing to start work. The inspector general ordered the soldiers to do it. The soldiers cried and shouted on the levee, dragging and dragging, filling many living people into the levee and covering it with soil.
Qin Shihuang rode back quickly. The flat and bare golden land is endless. No sooner had he passed than people gnashed their teeth and kept cursing. Therefore, people also call this dam "Qin Huang Dam".
