The Qin abandoned the traditional way of battle and take advantage of their enemy's weaknesses. This also applies to the citizen of Qin, if a person were to commit crimes or break the rules then others were required to report them. If they don't report they are also considered to be an accomplice and were quartered or beheaded. This type of philosophy used fear to control its political system, those who contribute greatly for the Empire were heavily rewarded while those considered worthless were sent to work as slaves.
