Blogwork (Ying Chen Fei)

The Great Wall was a means of reconciling China's nomadic and farming economies. Clashes between the Han and nomadic communities occurred throughout Chinese history.
The conflict caused many farmers to migrate southward, leaving large areas of farmland in the north to waste. Construction of the Great Wall, therefore, was with the aim of restoring order to the farming economy, and the function of troops stationed on it was to maintain peace on the border.

China must have really wanted the Great Wall and spent a lot of money and manpower on it. They proved that, if there's a will, there's a way.
