considering it took 2000 years and while The costs vary greatly but it's safe to say the per mile cost is somewhere between 1 - 5 million dollars / mile. That applied to the entire length of the Chinese Wall: 13,170 miles x 1 million dollars = $13 billion to $65 billion. 300k to 500k workers and that was in 400-500 bc. estimates are it would conservatively cost 100 bil today.
So you are wrong it was not easy or cheap then. and that was using slave labor.
