Great time travel

Chapter 1, Mayor Wang Meiling's Sigh
"...Although some people often say how powerful we Chinese are, many other ethnic groups have been absorbed and assimilated by us in history. For example, the Qiang people, the Dangxiang people, the Huns, the Khitan people, etc., have all disappeared in the long river of history. Among them, even Manchu is now largely an academic name. But in fact, according to the analysis of domestic think tanks, from the macro perspective of big history, our Chinese civilization is actually the ability to spread and assimilate A civilization with relatively poor fusion ability. In other words, it is a living fossil of civilization like a panda."

Mayor Wang Meiling talked so eloquently, "...Of course, this does not mean that Chinese civilization is so backward, but that we have not been very active and active in spreading civilization since a long time ago, whether it is from software or In terms of hardware, they are not ready to become a world civilization, nor have they made much effort in this regard. As a result, before entering the modern era, European missionaries walked with enthusiasm and fearless hardships, holding high the cross. All over the world, spread the glory of God to every corner of the world, including China.

The Islamic (anti-harmony) religion relies on a scripture, and it can only enter and exit properly, and its assimilation ability is so strong that it is evil.Even in the case of its own serious decline and backwardness, it has resisted the wave of modernization, aggressively expanded against the trend, and directly entered the core hinterland of developed countries in Europe and the United States.

But we Chinese, relying on the vast land, large population and huge civilization, have handed in a failing answer sheet.Confucianism only has a little influence in North Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, and Taoism can't even get out of the country.However, some eminent Buddhist monks and some Christian missionaries traveled all over the world to spread their beliefs, but in modern times, they have been retreating steadily, and they no longer have the strong vitality of the early eastward missions.With such an ugly appearance, could it be that ancient China was not strong enough?Of course not, the title of the so-called "Central Empire" at that time was not a fact that we Chinese boasted and put money on our faces, but a fact that was unanimously recognized by the Eastern world.But the problem is that because the Chinese civilization has been thriving in the East for too long, since ancient times, we have had a mentality of a central empire, and we are rarely like the Spanish missionaries who used the stake to spread the Christian gospel, and the American human rights who used missiles to enforce democracy. Just like the Arabs with a machete in one hand and a book in one hand, they do not hesitate to travel across the oceans to forcefully sell their religious culture to others.On the contrary, in history, basically other ethnic groups sent people to China to study on their own initiative, just like the Japanese envoys to Tang Dynasty, who brought Chinese culture out.The so-called bounden duty of 'educating the barbarians' has long been lost by Confucian scholars.

Moreover, as the carrier of Chinese civilization, our Chinese itself is too old, and there are also problems that it is difficult to spread.Americans once organized outstanding college students to conduct surveys in Ivy League colleges and found that if they learn French or German, they generally only need 200 to [-] class hours.Even learning Japanese or Russian, which has a large cultural difference, only needs more than [-] class hours.But learning Chinese requires at least [-] class hours—even after learning [-] class hours, I still can’t understand Chinese martial arts TV dramas, so I need to find Chinese to translate.

Of course, this is mainly because Chinese is too old and belongs to pictographs.Other mainstream languages ​​in the world are all alphabetic characters, even South Korea and Japan, which are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, are the same.Therefore, it will be very difficult for foreigners to learn Chinese.But this also shows that even if our national strength surpasses that of the United States, it is much more difficult for the rest of the world to communicate in Chinese than it is for Americans to promote English to the world...

Such a series of congenital deficiencies make our Chinese civilization more than resilient and flexible, but its external influence is not enough.Over the past few years, although the country has invested huge sums of money overseas to set up many Confucius Institutes in an attempt to promote traditional Chinese culture to the world, the result is half the effort and little effect.The understanding and acceptance of Chinese culture by the people of those third world countries is much worse than that of Christianity and American democracy!On the contrary, the translated fantasy novels and fairy tale novels, as well as adapted film and television dramas and animations are still selling well...

Cough cough, let’s get down to business, it is conceivable that even in the crisis of the population explosion in the future, the Chinese government will spend huge sums of money to save hundreds of millions of Africans, South Asians and Middle Easterners, but it will be very difficult. Let them accept our culture and values, integrate into our social system..."

(Even the legendary and mysterious Mayan script is actually the same type of alphabetic script as English, but the Mayan civilization has always existed in many countries, and there has never been a unified standard for writing letters. For example, a certain letter only stipulates that it is represented by animal heads. As a result, different Mayans may write it as fish head, bird head, tiger head and dog head, but they have the same pronunciation. At first glance, they thought it was a hieroglyph.)
Speaking of this, Mayor Wang Meiling spread her hands and concluded, "...Since China cannot integrate them, it will not benefit much from it, and it is even difficult to infiltrate them culturally, and the finances may not be able to support them. For the hostility and destruction of European and American countries, the most correct choice is naturally to hang up the matter with nothing to do with them - after all, this is their own fate, how can they not work hard to save themselves, and want to rely on us? "

——In the final analysis, things in this world have always been talking about doctrine and thinking about business.No one has goodwill for no reason: European and American missionaries do charity to "expand the flock of God", international human rights organizations do charity to promote American democracy, and Chinese people go abroad to do business. What traditional spiritual and cultural products can be promoted?Or use "The Analects" to "educate the barbarians"?
Since there is no decent interest at all, it is all right to throw a few small coins to send beggars. If you really want to take out the coffin book, who will do it?
Therefore, in the face of the impending population crisis, China has both objective difficulties and a lack of subjective motivation.More importantly, even if the population of these different races and civilizations is saved, it will be difficult for them to "naturalize" and thus go on the "right path" of industrialization and secularization.And if they are saved and left alone, the bomb of the population crisis will continue to inflate until an even more tragic explosion.

And if even China, which has obtained superluminal space folding navigation method from the alien spacecraft Macross, obtained cold nuclear fusion technology from another world, has endless energy, and is rushing to the sea of ​​stars, will not save these rapid expansions. of the third world population.Then the attitude of other countries is even more conceivable... Therefore, Comrade Li Wei, who has been used to famine and plague, war and massacres in other worlds, and is tired of death and destruction, finds that after returning to the modern earth, It is really possible to witness such a cruel scene again in his lifetime.

——Oh, I feel really tired... The outside world is really scary, I'd better go home with my wife and children with peace of mind!

After Li Wei left sadly with a sigh, Ma Tong, who was appointed by Wang Meiling as the mayor's assistant, ran over wearing a lady's suit and holding a tablet computer, and asked Wang Meiling for instructions, "...Aunt Wang, Except for the invitations sent to the monarchs and nobles of the surrounding countries for this birthday banquet, except for the fact that the Elbe feudal kingdom is still in civil war, it is really inconvenient to invite, the rest have been sent so far. Most of the monarchs and nobles readily accepted the invitation , only Empress Pinna said that she is too busy with state affairs, and she plans to send her prime minister to bring gifts to congratulate her at that time..."

"...Don't want to come to the banquet in person? Tsk tsk! This little girl is quite arrogant... Anyway, who made her already a queen?"

Mayor Wang Meiling curled her lips disapprovingly, "...Is there anything else?"

"...Well, in order to show the celebration of the whole city, you have asked all the merchants in the city to offer a [-]% discount six days before and after the birthday banquet. I have encountered some troubles. Our own shops are quite face-saving, but outside the city However, those aboriginal shops are generally reluctant..."

——After several years of prosperity and development, as the only trading post connecting the two worlds, Arnus City can be described as a constant exchange of caravans, and various trades are extremely prosperous.In addition to the various modern earth-style shops built by the traversers, there are also many shops and markets built by indigenous merchants in various villages and towns outside the city walls.There are also some indigenous shops that do not directly sell goods, but service businesses such as dance halls, brothels, massage parlors, etc., which are oriented to tourists from the earth. Finally, under the city walls outside the gates of each city, a series of quite prosperous commercial streets appeared.

Due to the backwardness and low productivity of the fantasy world, some daily necessities that are common to people on modern earth, such as cheap color-printed textiles, colored glass, etc., were originally luxuries that only the ruling group could enjoy here. .As a result, indigenous merchants flock to cheap ceramics, glass, plastic, and metal products on the earth. As long as they are shipped out, they will be sold at sky-high prices. Saturated, native merchants naturally have little incentive to cut prices and promote sales.

On the other hand, for tourists from the earth, many ordinary and common gadgets on the Farmat continent can’t be found elsewhere, so spending money on souvenirs can be said to be extravagant and costly. Basically none of the earthlings in the alien tour group will be poor, at least they are middle class.Even some of them who don’t seem to have a lot of money still receive large subsidies from their country’s intelligence agencies. The task is to use legal opportunities as much as possible to collect information and samples in other worlds. ...

As a result, many aboriginal businessmen in the tourist souvenir business made a fortune in Arnus very easily.Some homeless demihumans, just because they were born in rare races, such as giants, can live a good life just by taking pictures with tourists.

Since it is so easy to make money doing business in Arnus City, and the marketing thinking of the other world is relatively backward, most of the locals are not satisfied with the city-wide price reduction promotion that Mayor Wang Meiling forcibly arranged during her 50th birthday celebration. Businessmen expressed their incomprehension.According to their thinking logic, since there will inevitably be crowds of people during the celebration, they are already kind enough not to take the opportunity to raise prices to kill customers, so why should they lower prices?
However, for Mayor Wang Meiling who only wants to be lively, grand and grand, such a perfunctory attitude is intolerable!

——In her life, she probably only had such a chance to hold a big birthday banquet, so she wholeheartedly strived for perfection and could not tolerate half a grain of sand in her eyes.

"...Those ignorant misers! Since I ordered all stores in the city to offer a [-]% discount, I must offer a [-]% discount. This matter is not negotiable! Really, I just want to have fun! Why? Why don't you let me spend this birthday happily, so that everyone can get together and leave?"

Mayor Wang Meiling waved her hand unhappily, and said firmly, "...you just go and tell them, if anyone dares to make me unhappy on my birthday, well, although I can't make him unhappy for the rest of his life, but If it makes him unhappy for a year, it's absolutely fine..."

"...Okay, I will pass on your words as they are, I believe they will weigh them carefully..."

——All in all, under the full urging of Mayor Wang Meiling and the tacit approval of relevant departments, as a commemoration of a certain middle-aged woman who once represented the party and the country, it was a joyous celebration full of noise and excitement. The prelude slowly kicked off on the hills of Arnus.

As the news spread, travelers from different countries and races also gathered towards this city that was rising in an instant...
