If China what you are talking about:

Yes. The first emperor: Shi Huang Di, whose name literally translates to "the first emperor," was of the Qin Dynasty, the first dynasty of China, and he standardized measures. Along with this, he standardized laws, coins, and script (for communication, since different parts of China spoke the same language, but differently).

***Shi Huang Di was a Legalist leader (leader in Legalism), and he died from drinking water with Mercury in it in an attempt to become immortal (he was ill just before then).***

I hope this helps!
