Chapter 216: Sweating
This undoubtedly disappointed Fukushima, but the waiter who knocked on the door at this time made him understand at once, "I'm so stupid, don't you know if you ask the Chinese directly?" ”
But Fukushima Yasumasa was soon disappointed again, and the young waiter honestly replied that he didn't know him either, that is, he had just gotten out of literacy, where could he know so much? If you know the numbers, you can tell the size of the denomination, so why care who those figures are?
However, Hirobumi Ito, who had finished a short break at lunchtime, joined the discussion and found a clue, "Have you noticed, how are the avatars on the 5-cent and 2-cent coins different from other characters?" ”
"It's supposed to be younger, right?" , Fukushima Yasumasa replied, but Sheng Haizhou, who knew more about Chinese culture, suddenly understood, "With the habits of Chinese, when painting important people, they generally choose the appearance of middle and old age, so these two people should not have beards because they are young, but only because they are eunuchs!" ”
There are not many famous eunuchs in Chinese history, and there are even fewer of them with positive deeds recorded in history, Sheng Haizhou eliminated them one by one, and quickly confirmed the identities of the two eunuchs, one is Cai Lun, who improved papermaking technology in the Eastern Han Dynasty to make it practical, and the other is Zheng He, who led a huge fleet to the West seven times in the early Ming Dynasty.

"What do these two have in common? A more positive and positive ...... that has nothing to do with the identity of eunuchs", the three of them followed this line of thought and gradually analyzed the identities of these historical figures who left their heads on Chinese currency......
"I remember, the 2 yuan bill is Zu Chongzhi, his forehead is too distinctive, it looked a little familiar before, but I didn't remember it for a while." , The identity of the third character played a crucial role, Sheng Haizhou immediately said with a sudden face, "Zu Chongzhi is a great scientist in the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China, it seems that these portraits should be all great scientists in ancient China, no, it should be said that it is an ancient Chinese celebrity who has made significant contributions to the history of the development of science and technology, and this is ......"
With this understanding, the three of them quickly identified the identities of several people, such as Zhang Heng, a great scientist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Zu Luban of carpentry, which completely determined the idea of the Chinese Datong Party when designing these currencies, so what do they want to express through this?
"I understand that the Chinese government wants to subtly instill the importance of science and technology in the people, and at the same time elevate the status of high-tech talents. And our yen is printed on the emperor and empress of ancient times, and it is already a step behind others......", Ito Hirobumi couldn't help but feel anxious when he thought of this, and couldn't help but cough again, and after a while he relieved his breath before he spoke again, "We also want to learn from China, and use famous scientists and engineers as the patterns on yen banknotes!" ”
Ke Sheng Haizhou's expression was a little embarrassed after hearing this, "But we don't have so many great people in Japan who can leave their names in the history of science and technology in the world. ”
However, Ito Hirofumi's expression was very firm, "If there is one, use one, use two, and if Japan produces world-class scientists in the future, it will also be printed on yen banknotes, so as to encourage domestic students to study hard and study science and technology, and change the status quo of poverty and backwardness in Japan!" ”
"We must not only be mentally motivated, but also materially support...... and I must not ignore it," Ito Hirobumi, who gradually had a clear idea in his mind, immediately wrote down his thoughts and prepared to submit them to the Meiji Imperial Review when he returned to Japan. As a result, he was too tired because of this, and when Li Hui sent someone to summon him in the afternoon, he had no choice but to let Katsu Haizhou and Fukushima go on his behalf.
After seeing Li Hui, the first impression of the two was "tall", Li Hui, who had grown to 1.83 meters tall (that is why he was so tall) was tall even in later generations, compared with the Japanese whose average height of adult men did not reach 1.55 meters, it was definitely a giant, coupled with the incomparably mysterious origin of Li Hui and his identity as the head of a great country, which invisibly exerted huge psychological pressure on the two Japanese envoys, and Sheng Haizhou could be regarded as having seen countless ups and downs, When I wanted to speak, I was so nervous that I forgot all the opening words I had prepared, so I could only make up a few sentences in a hurry to deal with the past, but it was just a moment of work, and the vest was soaked with sweat, which was the first time in Sheng Haizhou's adulthood......
Li Hui's second impression of the two was "young", although Li Hailong had mentioned it before, but it wasn't until they saw Li Hui with their own eyes that the two believed that this miracle-creating man was really so young. Sheng Haizhou suddenly forgot the words, in addition to the huge psychological pressure, the resulting shock is also an important reason.
According to the actual age, Li Hui is actually less than 23 years old now, and modern people have good skin and look younger, in the eyes of the two, Li Hui is only in his twenties, no matter how genius he is, it is hard to believe that he can lead a large country with a population of 40,000, and he is also the founding leader, which is simply incredible!
After discovering that Li Hui was so young, Sheng Haizhou even threw away the only bit of luck left in his heart, with Li Hui's age, he has been in power for decades without pressure, which is enough time for China to rise steadily to become a world hegemon, without worrying about interrupting the process of development due to civil strife due to the change of leaders. Under the regret, Sheng Haizhou could only comfort himself secretly, "Forget it, it's okay like this, so as not to have thoughts that shouldn't be ......."
And Li Hui's third impression of the two is "informal", on such an important diplomatic occasion, he actually wore a T-shirt that is currently only used as underwear and is not usually worn in public. In contrast, the two Japanese envoys were dressed in suits and ties, which made them look extremely formal, forming a stark contrast.
According to diplomatic etiquette, Li Hui's dress like this is definitely a very uncultured performance, but because he is on the strong side at this time, the contrast between the clothes of the two sides makes the two Japanese seem even weaker, and they can't say anything hard.
Especially today, it is very hot, Li Hui is too hot in a T-shirt, and the two Japanese envoys who are tightly wrapped are like being in a steamer, and they have to maintain diplomatic etiquette so as not to embarrass Japan...... (To be continued.) )
