"The reason our Qin destroyed the Six States, apart from the unstoppable advance of the elite soldiers, lies in the fact that the common people of the Six States did not harbor the imagined hatred for the loss of their nation to us, Qin. Most of them were already struggling to survive, as their lands were seized by the nobles. For the countless commoners of the Six States, Qin's destruction of their countries mattered little as long as they were unharmed."
"Our Qin's ability to vanquish the Six States was not only due to the wisdom of our ancestors and the accumulation of national fortune, but crucially due to land reform."
"After the military merit system, Qin reclaimed the lands as state-owned, rewarding them based on war merit instead of allowing them to be controlled by nobles. This provided the common folk with land to cultivate, which is what they desire."
"To say."
