Autonomous local communities paid regular tribute to the emperor, who stayed out of their affairs. Local representatives were chosen by the people and reported to the emperor. The system was centralized, with an emperor in charge and local officials appointed to govern territories. The system was governed by a group similar to the ancient Roman Senate.

Shang Yang abolished direct primogeniture, weakening the power of the feudal lords.[5] The reforms of Shang Yang developed the industry and resources of the peripheral Qin state, transforming it into a militarily powerful kingdom. With Shang Yang's establishment of a legal system, Qin became strongly centralized, reforming the aristocracy into an open officialdom ranked by merit, ending with the unification of the China's warring states into thirty-six administrative provinces with a standardized writing system under what is commonly thought of as the first Chinese Empire, the Qin dynasty, all based upon law. Though the dynasty fell with the death of its emperor, the political theory developed during the formative Warring States period would still influence every dynasty thereafter. here is the link for more info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legalism_(Chinese_philosophy)
