In a country with a total area of only 26 square kilometers, it doesn't take much time to ride a bicycle around, provided that there are places where bicycles can pass. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Daniu followed Burns and his party out of the airport, and saw his palace, don't ask why the palace is so close to the airport, Li Daniu said that if the palace is in other places, he will choose to refuse to stay.

Because it is an island country and surrounded by endless sea, Tuvalu's waves can reach up to 3.6 meters, which is a bit low for those who like to surf, but for Tuvalu, which has a maximum altitude of only 4.5 meters, a wave can mean a nationwide flood.

Naturally, there is no need to worry too much about the waves that can flood most of the country, so it is only natural that the royal palace should be built here.

Standing at the door of the palace, Li Daniu looked at the two barefoot guards in shabby uniforms standing guard next to the gate, and burst into tears in his heart, this Nima is not as good as the security guard of the county hotel where Cuihua was engaged.

The three-storey stone building is really shabby compared to the one-star hotel that Cuihua got engaged.

"Well, it's okay to have a house, not only a villa, but also a mortgage. Li Daniu kept comforting himself in his heart.

Entering the gate, Li Daniu was dumbfounded.

What about the royal palace that was said to be good?

What does it mean that the first floor looks like an office area for a company?

What does the sign of the police chief on the door on the right hand side mean?

What does the Foreign Affairs Office mean on the left-hand door?

Why are these people working in the lobby so familiar? Did we just meet at the airport?

"Your Royal Highness, although I would like you to go back to your room and rest first, I still hope that you can go to my office first, there are some problems that we need to solve as soon as possible. Burns looked at Li Daniu in a daze, and for the first time considered whether to resign and emigrate, he was the prime minister of a country, if he was looking for a job, this resume should be very dazzling.

"It's okay, I don't need a break. "Li Daniu is still in the mood to rest, even the palace has become a government-like office, and the heads of the police system and the heads of the diplomatic system are crowded together to work, this is the rhythm of the country's death.

Li Daniu waved to the office workers who were standing and saluting him, and followed Burns to the second floor.

"Your Royal Highness, there is no need for you to respond to their salutes every time, for you may be here in the future, and you will be very tired if you do this every day. ”

As the prime minister of a country, Burns's ability to observe words and colors has been superb, just Li Daniu's two unnatural waves of his hand, Li Daniu has already seen that Li Daniu is not used to it.

"Won't that break their hearts?"

Li Daniu said in his heart that his motherland is a country of etiquette, and even ****** is approachable, so what reason does he, the king of the dead country, have to be cold.

"Of course not, you are our Royal Highness, and as long as the enthronement ceremony is held, you are our king, and the whole country is your private property, you don't need to be too polite, in this case, there will be no majesty that a king of a country should have. ”

Burns's explanation made Li Daniu completely unable to refute.

Shouldn't the prime minister's greatest goal be to weaken the power and influence of the royal family? Shouldn't the government replace the royal rule as his most noble goal?

Mr. Burns, is there any special purpose for you to suddenly bring such a rhythm?

Li Daniu's mind was full of some messy guiquan sinister, and he came to the second floor of the palace that nominally belonged to him.

The layout of the second and first floors is basically the same, except that the location of the middle hall has become an open conference room.

Walking into Burns's office, Li Daniu couldn't help but sigh: "This is the level of the village party secretary." ”

The people who followed Li Daniu and Burns upstairs were a few people in addition to the police chief and the person in charge of foreign affairs who Li Daniu had seen before.

"This is our head of finance, industry, Finney. After Li Daniu took the throne, Bernsch began to introduce: "Minister of the Interior and Rural Development Sitao, Minister of Education, Sports and Health Luca, Minister of Natural Resources, Energy and Tourism Samko. ”

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Although everyone wears many hats, there are some basic departments that exist as a country.

"Your Royal Highness, the first thing we need to do is the King's funeral. After a few people sat down, Burns began to report: "His Majesty and the Queen have been confirmed to have died because of the plane crash, but because the plane crash site is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, there is no way to find their bodies, and I propose to use their clothes and crowns instead of the bodies and hold a funeral." ”

Regarding the death of the old king and queen, Li Daniu has found relevant news on the Internet before, after all, although Tuvalu is poor and small, it is also a sovereign country registered in the United Nations, and the leader of a country and his queen will encounter such a plane crash, which must be able to make headlines.

"Wouldn't this seem a little too hasty?" Although Li Daniu didn't have the slightest impression and affection for the old king and queen, he inherited someone's inheritance after all. Therefore, I don't agree with what Burns said about the slightly sloppy funeral.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Prince, but I know it's very irresponsible. Burns thought of the old king, who had single-handedly raised himself up and become a real prime minister above all people, and he was also very guilty in his heart, and he whispered: "But we really can't afford to go to the middle of the Pacific to find the bodies of His Majesty and the Queen, and the airlines and insurance companies can only pay some compensation." ”

"That's all there is to it. Li Daniu could only say sorry to the old king in his heart, it's not that I don't work hard, it's just that the environment is too bad.

"The second thing is to have an enthronement ceremony. Burns continued: "There are many things that need to be dealt with by the king, and the conditions are getting worse day by day, and we cannot afford to delay. ”

Tuvalu in this world is a monarchy, although following the trend, the old king set up a parliament and the position of prime minister, but the person who really controls the country is still the king, and even the position of prime minister is directly appointed by the king.

"I hope to be able to take place after the funeral and then take the enthronement ceremony. Li Daniu can already imagine what kind of standard the king's funeral and enthronement ceremony will be in such a poor country, and he needs more time to understand this country.

"This ......" Burns was a little embarrassed, because of the monarchy, and because the old king had no brothers and sisters and only a son, he, the prime minister, actually had no way to hold a funeral for the old king, after all, all the rights in this country came down to Li Daniu. As far as the cost of the funeral is concerned, the prime minister actually has no right to approve it.

"Yes, but you have to receive your rights first. ”

Li Daniu has already admired Burns's professional ethics, how can there be politicians who are eager to push power out?

But when you think about it, it's perfectly normal. A barren land, and facing some existential issues, who will grab this right?

"No problem!" Li Daniu brazenly accepted Burns' suggestion, at least at the level of a town mayor, don't be in vain, he said: "However, I need you to give me a detailed introduction to the current situation in our country." ”

"Our Royal Highness the Prince has been studying and living in the United States since he was twelve years old, although His Royal Highness the Prince has always been concerned about our Tuvalu, but after all, the distance is too far, so we don't know much about some details of our Tuvalu situation, you can introduce it to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Li Da Niu praised Burns's sycophant kung fu, and at the same time was very satisfied with the old king's love for his son.

After hearing Burns' words, several Tuvalu leaders present began their respective introductions.

"Your Royal Highness, the number of immigrants in our country has exceeded six thousand, and the current population is 10,806. And New Zealand, the only one willing to accept the rest of our country's immigrants, who have no financial means, only gives us 75 places every year. ”

"Because of immigration, there are no citizens in the country who can afford to pay taxes, and they are not able to pay the income of several state companies. We rely heavily on the Tuvalu Trust Fund, which reached $60.1 million this year with assistance from countries, with government and royal spending last year accounting for 25 per cent of the fund's interest. ”

"China's government budget revenue this year is 20.03 million US dollars, while the budget expenditure is 20.94 million US dollars. ”

"Australia's freshwater aid to our country is decreasing year by year, and it is expected that in the future, China will need more investment in freshwater imports. ”

……

Before Li Daniu crossed over, as a ** silk, he was originally very worried about whether he would be shocked by the scene when he participated in the most high-end meeting of a country for the first time, but with the introduction of several high-level leaders of this country, Li Daniu's pressure became smaller and greater.

The reason why the pressure is less is because Li Daniu feels that the country is actually like a larger private company with 10,000 employees. Although it was a sling before the crossing, which of the slings of the Great Celestial Empire would think that they could not manage a company? Not to mention that there is a group of professional leadership groups to handle specific affairs for themselves.

The reason why the pressure is so high is because the country is really facing too many problems. Although the amount of national assets is an amount that Li Daniu could not fight for in his life before the crossing, if you think about it carefully, it is equivalent to winning a huge lottery. Moreover, if you want to receive this grand prize, you will have to bear the living security of 10,000 people.

Because the country has no fresh water source and the industry is close to zero, there is too much to import, which has caused domestic prices to remain high. It's true that you're the king, but when your people can't afford fresh water, do you let them drink seawater? Or do you pay for it yourself?

Although the annual fiscal revenue is as high as 20 million US dollars, the annual fiscal expenditure exceeds the fiscal revenue no matter how frugal it is. The currency used in Tuvalu is the Australian dollar, and the country's foreign exchange deposit is actually only the 60 million Australian dollars in the Tuvalu Trust Fund, which is converted into RMB, which is more than 300 million.

A person who spends more than 300 million may not be able to spend it all in his life, but what if there are still 10,000 people who need to live and have to be guaranteed?

There is no open-source method, and throttling has reached the limit. Aid from other countries is declining every year, and Tuvalu is in danger of being submerged by the sea. Li Daniu finally understood why Prime Minister Burns wholeheartedly wanted him to ascend the throne and receive power, which was really to the point of destroying the country.

As for the fantasy that there is a money printing machine that can print money non-stop, Li Daniu said that although he has this ability, he will never use it.

Why?

The country has no hard power, you print 100 billion, and no one wants it.

Several people reported for a long time, and finally gave an overview of the situation in Tuvalu. Burns took out a wooden box from the safe in his office and handed it to Li Daniu.

"This is the king's seal that belongs to you, and only the document with your seal stamped has legal effect. ”

This is the handover of power? It's so casual, isn't it?

Li Daniu comforted himself, although he was about to lose the country, but as the king, he should be able to share a lot of money, and when the time comes, he will go back to the Great Heavenly Dynasty to live a tyrant life, but unfortunately, there is no Cuihua in this world.

After taking the wooden box, Li Daniu looked at it for a moment and found that he really couldn't recognize what kind of material this wooden box looked a little tall was.

When I opened it, I saw the golden palm seal inside the box.

"Is it pure gold? That's worth a lot of money. ”

As soon as Li Daniu picked up the seal and wanted to take a sneak bite to see if it was pure gold, he heard a voice appear in his head.

"Confirmation of acceptance of the throne of the King of Tuvalu?"
