10,000 Fengshen coins?

What is this? The heads of state trembled inexplicably, and had the urge to throw away the VIP cards in their hands.

They felt that this VIP card was hot!

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to say that this VIP card is called the 'Fengshen Card'." Lin Feng pointed to the card and said with a smile, "All mankind, a total of 13! You and us have nine, and I will give four as appropriate! In other words, my friends may not all be able to get it! There is no way, things are precious because they are rare. If something is not precious enough, then it is not valuable!"

Everyone is willing to listen to Lin Feng's words. Things are precious because they are rare! It's like, air is indispensable to everyone, but who thinks air is precious? Because even if we humans are indispensable, but it is available everywhere, it is not precious.

This is like water resources. In the Yangtze River Basin, water is not precious, but when you go to the Sahara Desert, do you say that water is not precious!

Lin Feng's card is the same truth. There are 13 cards in total, which makes the heads of state feel very satisfied. Because it is a symbol of status. They are naturally old, and it is estimated that they may not be able to wait for the advent of the human universe era and the interstellar colonization era. But their descendants can keep this card. This will be the most precious wealth of their family.

However, what is this 10,000 Fengshen coins? Is this a bribe?

Among the heads of state, the heads of the four EU countries are the most timid. Which four countries? Naturally, they are Britain, France, Spain and Germany. Lin Feng's money is not easy to take. And this is against the rules.

10,000 Fengshen coins, this sounds wrong. It seems to be worth a lot of money.

"Why, are you afraid that I will bribe you? Actually, the money is really not much, very little. As for why we don't use US dollars, RMB, or pounds, it's mainly because once the galaxy era begins in the future, everyone will still use the currencies of various countries. If people see us, we will be laughed at! Think about it, if we meet other races in the future, they will see that we use this currency and that currency, how embarrassing it will be. So, I think we should unify the currency. Just like the ancient emperor of our country, Qin Shihuang, unified the weights and measures!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Among the emperors of my country throughout the ages, the one Lin Feng admires the most is Qin Shihuang. Because of one thing, he made the writing and the wheels the same, and unified the weights and measures of the six countries at that time, which really made China a unified and powerful country.

Why Europe has not been able to unify is because there is no first emperor. If there is a figure like the first emperor, Europe would have been unified long ago,

It is impossible for there to be so many countries like now.

As for whether this is good or bad, it depends on personal opinion. If there are advantages, there are naturally disadvantages! But from the perspective of a strong national regime, the emergence of the First Emperor made China always at the top of the world's nations for the next two thousand years. Unlike Europe, which suffered repeated disasters, it was not until the modern industrial revolution that it brought about earth-shaking changes.

Of course, this is also related to China itself. The Manchu Tartars, a barbarian outside the Great Wall, unified China by various coincidences. Naturally, they had no foresight and no far-sighted and outstanding insights. Otherwise, if the Han people were still in power, they might have absorbed advanced Western knowledge and there would not have been this catastrophe.

You know, the matchlock guns of the Ming Dynasty were very advanced firearms at the time. If there was another figure like the First Emperor, it would be completely different. Of course, by the way, some people may have a special admiration for China and actually believe some rumors that the firearms sealed in the arsenal of the Ming Dynasty at that time were more advanced than the firearms that the Eight-Nation Alliance brought to China at that time, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not use them, otherwise the Eight-Nation Alliance would have been driven out of China long ago.

This is absolutely a rumor. At that time, China had no lathes at all, only matchlock guns, which was the limitation of productivity in the Ming Dynasty. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces came to China, what kind of guns did they have? Breech-loading rifles, which was a revolutionary change in technology. The combat effectiveness of the two sides was very different.

"So, after we leave the earth, we must also unify our weights and measures, currency, and language!" Lin Feng said with a smile, "Of course, in terms of language, I don't insist on speaking Chinese. After all, English has many conveniences, and English can be used as the main language. But in terms of currency, I have taken an advantage, so I will use my 'Fengshen Coin'!"

Over the years, Lin Feng has also grown, and many of his ideas have also been improved. For example, Lin Feng originally insisted on using Chinese for everything, but later his experience over the years made Lin Feng discover a truth: Chinese is very great, but it is not omnipotent.

For example, there is a saying in Britain: You say that you love rain, but you open your rumbrella when it trains... You say that you love the sun, but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines... You say that you love the wind, But you close your windows when the wind blows... This is why I am a fool; You say that you love metoo...

Here’s a simple translation: you say you like rain, but you open your umbrella when it rains; you say you like sunshine, but when the sun shines, you hide in the shade; you say you like wind, But when the breeze blows against your face, you close the window. I'm afraid you love me the same way.

But Chinese is magical and great!

Literary version: You said that the mist and rain shimmered slightly, and the orchid pavilion looked into the distance; later, you gently embraced the whirling dance, and covered it deeply with the colorful clothes. You said the spring was brilliant, the sleeves were green and the fragrance was red; later, the west building was hidden inside, and I stood quietly beside you. You said that the soft breeze blows gently, and I lie down drunk and think; later, the doors and windows are tightly closed, and the tents are filled with sorrow. You talk about the tenderness of love, how to forget each other; but my eyes turn slightly, and they become frost.

But is that all? No! How profound is Chinese!

The Book of Songs version: Zi said that when rain comes, he opens his umbrella to avoid it.

The Master said that he loves the sun, but seeks the shade and rejects it.

Zi said that he was happy with the wind and left the house.

Zi said that we are afraid of growing old together.

Is this the end? besides!

Li Sao version: You are happy with the rain and open your umbrella branches, you are happy with the daytime because the forest blocks the sun, you are happy with the wind because the tents are raised, you are happy with the fact that my heart is devoured.

Is it over? No! Still have it!

Five-character poem version: If you love the rain, you hold an umbrella, but if you love the sun, you hold up an umbrella.

The wind came to cover the window, and Ye Gong was frightened by the Dragon King.

The words are short, but the lovesickness is long and weary.

My husband said he loved me, but he didn’t dare to think about it carefully.

There are five words, so naturally there are seven words.

Seven-character quatrain version: The umbrella moves lightly in the dim mist, and the happy sun comes to rest at the bottom of the tree.

When the wind blows and the windows are closed, Fu Jun is always hesitant.

Then, I can write another seven-character quatrain.

It rains slightly in March in the south of the Yangtze River, and the umbrella is lightly held and the fragrance is scented.

The day is a little drunk, like a dream, and the body is surrounded by greenery and taking advantage of the shade.

Suddenly I heard the sound of wind blowing in the Zhu Pavilion, I frowned and locked the blue window.

I can't understand the longing for you, but I'm afraid that the couple will be scattered in Jinchi.

Look, this is Chinese, this is the greatness of Chinese! Is this comparable to English? Can't compare! But precisely because of this greatness and incomparable quality, Chinese is not as popular as English in many places. Because English only has 26 letters and four to five thousand words, while Chinese has four to five thousand words alone, and more than three thousand are commonly used.

You know, this is a word, it is a word! This is equivalent to more than 3,000 letters in the English language. If this is the case, then English will definitely become the most difficult language in the world to learn. But English only has 26 letters and four to five thousand words. But in Chinese, it is countless times worse than this. And each word combined has completely different meanings.

Therefore, it is too difficult to completely popularize Chinese, especially in many aspects, to simplify it. For example, there are so many buttons on a car, and it is easy to understand using English abbreviations. But Chinese is too beautiful and gorgeous, its meanings are too ever-changing, and the abbreviations are terrible!

For example, 'ESP' in English translates to 'Electronic Stability System' in Chinese. If you want to abbreviate it, how should you abbreviate it? Especially abbreviating it to such a small key? This is obviously not as convenient as English.

Also, English letters are relatively simple and not as rich in connotation as Chinese characters. A is more simply written. A combination of several letters can mean a long string of meanings. Chinese, on the other hand, is too beautiful and gorgeous, but it is inferior to English in terms of simplification.

These are also Lin Feng’s insights over the years. Don’t blindly pursue the popularization of Chinese. Of course, Lin Feng hopes to promote Chinese, the most beautiful language, to the world. But it doesn’t mean that everything must be done in Chinese.

This is just like Arabic numerals are always easier to use than Chinese character numerals. It's the same all over the world. Everyone uses Arabic numerals instead of the numerals of their respective nations because it's too cumbersome.

This is adapting to local conditions! Of course, Lin Feng spared no effort in promoting Han culture. This promotes not only Han culture, but also the 5,000-year historical accumulation and 5,000-year spiritual treasure of the Han people.

The heads of state looked at each other. There is no language requirement, but there is a currency requirement, which is a bit critical. After all, no matter how unified the language is, it is impossible to exterminate the mother tongue. But currency unification would be really fatal.

Once Lin Feng unifies the currency, Lin Feng will have the power to price currencies in the future, and all countries will be controlled by Lin Feng. Who said this guy has a low political IQ? Damn, he is just an old fox! This guy is so smart!

"Everyone, do you want to know how many US dollars these 10,000 Fengshen coins are equivalent to?" Lin Feng smiled foxily again.
