One of the key players in the unification of China was the emperor of China himself, Ying Zheng or Shi Huangdi. He controlled all major powers in China. Advised by his advisers who are legalists, he implemented many reforms. He began to appoint his officers to enforce his policies. He started also to standardize the currency and implemented the standardized laws, weights and measures. These were used to trade and were thought to help to unite the states. The military forces that were suspected to lead a rebellion were disarmed. Defensive walls that were standing before were joined to form a huge wall like the project of Great Wall.
