015 The Daily Life of a King

With the auction house and journalists gone, Tuvalu has once again become a place abandoned by the world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Daniu spent half the night typing all the novels "The Lord of the Rings" into the computer, slept well, and as soon as the morning dawned, he was ready to inspect his country in high spirits.

Strictly speaking, it is only the third day that Li Daniu has crossed into this world.

Tuvalu has a tropical maritime climate with highs of 40 degrees Celsius and annual lows of 22 degrees Celsius. At this time, the 2012 London Olympics had just ended, and it was the end of summer. In Tuvalu, however, most of the men Li Daniu saw on the street were shirtless and few wore shoes.

After walking half a circle outside, Li Daniu felt that it was too hot to work, and his sweat directly soaked his clothes. As the owner of this country, Li Daniu certainly has special treatment, such as two guards behind him, and a waiter holding an umbrella and holding a cold drink. However, Tuvalu is located in the tropics, the temperature is too high, and Li Daniu is reluctant to go out by car, so he regrets it now, wants to go back, and is afraid of losing face.

Who said that the path a man chooses will be finished on his knees? You're kneeling, can you still walk? Besides, you come here and try it while kneeling? Eggs can be poached eggs when they are beaten on the ground, and your knees can still have anti-roasting function?

Seeing a store, Li Daniu walked in with great interest, although the open door proved that it was impossible to turn on the air conditioner inside, but the roof could at least block the sun, which was also happiness.

This is a small supermarket, and the layout of the Great Celestial Empire is no different, and even the goods on the shelves inside are also full of familiar square words.

The China of this world is so powerful, and can the export of commodities go to such a remote country?

Li Daniu was full of curiosity and walked around the supermarket, touching this and that, although he visited the supermarket a lot of times, but this supermarket is different from the previous supermarkets, this is a supermarket in his kingdom.

"Dear Royal Highness the Prince, welcome to my supermarket. ”

Li Daniu, who was looking for whether there was any Laotan sauerkraut noodles in it, suddenly heard a burst of Chinese-flavored English, as for why he could hear it with a Chinese-flavored taste, it was because Li Daniu used to speak English with this accent.

"Are you...... Huaxia?" Li Daniu looked at a yellow man who came out from behind with some surprise.

"Well, do you speak Chinese?" Lao Liu was also shocked when he heard Li Daniu's Chinese, didn't the information reported yesterday say that His Royal Highness the Prince has been studying and living in the United States? Could it be that he was mistaken? In fact, His Royal Highness the Prince has been living in China?

"Well, I took Chinese in the United States. Li Daniu was also excited for a while, and blurted out the Chinese that he had spoken for half his life.

"That's great. Lao Liu's English was already stumbling, and when he saw His Royal Highness the Prince coming down to his shop, he was worried that he didn't know how to communicate for a long time and didn't dare to come out.

"You are from Huaxia, how can you be here?" Li Daniu felt very strange, didn't he say that Tuvalu was about to sink? How could people from other countries be willing to stay here.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, I am here to help Tuvalu and to increase the material life of the people of Tuvalu. Lao Liu patted his chest and said with a rainbow.

Li Daniu looked at a towel with a price tag of 5 Australian dollars, and then at a pair of unloaded shoes with a price tag of 6 Australian dollars, and pouted, the Chinese businessman is trying to catch up with the rhythm of the Jews.

Seeing Li Daniu's pouting expression, Lao Liu, who knew how to observe words and feelings, immediately explained.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's not that I want to earn money from the people of Tuvalu, it's really too expensive, these things are shipped here from the distant mainland of China, and I basically sell them for money. ”

Tuvalu's agriculture is backward because there is no fresh water and the land is not suitable for farming. As for industry, there is no industry at all, and all basic living materials are basically imported. Not to mention towels, taking off shoes, etc., even mineral water has to be imported.

Although there is no tariff in Tuvalu, Fiji, which is the closest to Tuvalu, takes three days to sail over, not to mention that these goods are transported from mainland China.

Looking at Lao Liu's sworn appearance, Li Daniu almost believed that this was a modern living Lei Feng.

Because since the crossing, Li Daniu has been in contact with currencies such as the Australian dollar and the US dollar, so the word exchange rate cannot be avoided. Therefore, he also paid attention to the exchange rate of the world's mainstream currencies, which is basically the same as in his previous life.

A towel with a cost price of less than one piece, sold for five yuan with freight, does not seem to be profitable at all, but as a cost, this piece is Huaxia currency, and the five pieces sold are Australian dollars.

The Australian dollar is about 1 to 5 compared to the Chinese currency, so the profit of these commodities should be about four to five times.

Although he knows the Tao here, Li Daniu is now the king of a country, and he has only earned 200 million US dollars, which is a small amount of money, and he doesn't care about it at all.

"Yes, I like Huaxia, and I like Huaxia businessmen like you even more. Li Daniu patted Lao Liu's shoulder and left the store with a smile.

As the time progressed to noon, there were fewer pedestrians on the street, and Li Daniu looked at his own citizens who were black and fat with some melancholy.

Tuvalu's backward agriculture means that the amount of vegetables is very small, so the people of Tuvalu, who eat meat as their staple food all year round, will basically suffer from obesity at the age of 30, just like Burns, Li Daniu's most important subordinate now, who is also a fat man.

And obesity will cause fatty liver, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, heart disease, etc., if it is in a country where the medical level reaches the international standard line, these diseases are really nothing, the fat people of the Celestial Empire in the previous life do not know how many, not to mention the common diseases of the three highs, but in Tuvalu, where there is only one village and town-level hospital in the country, these diseases are dying.

According to Burns, the former prime minister died of a sudden myocardial infarction. The prime minister of a country is still like this, let alone the people?

Li Daniu is really worried that if the situation does not improve, then before the sea floods Tuvalu, Tuvalu will die because there is no one.

Although Li Daniu issued an order to ban immigration, he did not think that this would allow people to not leave Tuvalu, how can a defenseless country manage people to escape?

Counting on those 200 policemen? It is not so much that those 200 people are policemen, but they are government workers, and in Tuvalu, where there are not a few law and order incidents a year, the role of the police is to work when the government needs it.

The key to any problem lies in curing the root cause, and Li Daniu sadly found that he had nothing to do to cure the root cause, even treating the symptoms.

"Your Royal Highness, do you want to go to the beach to take a rest?" The waiter with the umbrella looked at Li Daniu who was standing on the street in a daze, thinking that he was used to American life and was sad that there were no entertainment facilities in Tuvalu.

"Beach?" Li Daniu, who has lived for more than 20 years, has never enjoyed the beach and beautiful women, and when he heard this word, he instantly became interested.

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince. Our beaches in Tuvalu are still very beautiful. "The waiter wondered in his heart, isn't it normal for an island country to have a beach?

Tuvalu is made up of nine atolls, and 50 percent of the country's population lives on the government's Fongafari Island, which is one of the best inhabited islands in Tuvalu with an area of 2.79 square kilometres.

How big is 2.79 square kilometers? Li Daniu followed the waiter for ten minutes, and then walked from the center of the capital to the sea.

Fine white soft sand, crystal clear waters, endless sea level, and coconut palms, which are most common in tropical island areas.

This Nima is such a beautiful place, why not develop tourism?

Li Daniu found a reclining chair in a shady place, and the waiter handed over a chiseled coconut very eye-catchingly.

It's really cool, Li Daniu sighed in his heart, this is the enjoyment of the king, but it's a pity that there are no bikini beauties on the beach.

Motioning to the waiter and the guard to find a recliner to rest, Li Daniu ran to a group of children who were making noise on the beach.

"Such a big crab?" Li Daniu looked at the crab that was lifted up by a child, bigger than the child's face, and his saliva was about to flow out.

"What is this? I've ever caught a lobster that long. A child stretched his hands apart and said disdainfully.

Although he has eaten this level of seafood in the past two days, it is the first time that Li Daniu has not seen it from the window of the hotel.

"Dear Royal Highness Prince, please don't blame these children for not saying hello to you, they don't know you. ”

Just when Li Daniu wanted to go to the sea to catch seafood himself, an old man ran over to apologize.

"It's okay, if they have to say hello respectfully when they see me, I'm still a little unaccustomed to it. "When Li Daniu saw that an adult was coming, he also dispelled the idea of going to the sea, and he had to maintain the majesty of the king of a country, didn't he?

"You are as merciful as your father. The old man said after hugging his chest.

"Old man, what do you call this year?" asked Li Daniu as he continued to carry forward the attitude of a benevolent monarch.

"Uh...... Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, my name is Polly. Polly smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm only 35 years old. ”

35 years old? Are you a little too anxious, like a 53-year-old person with a stable and kind face, Li Daniu hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Then what do you usually live on?"

"Fishing, some coconuts, bananas, taro at home. ”

Tuvalu is not suitable for farming, but the tropical climate is suitable for the growth of coconuts, bananas and taro, which are also the backbone of Tuvalu's economy.

"How's the harvest of fishing?" Li Daniu was possessed by the leader at the moment.

"It's okay, family life is enough. Polly laughed and said, "Thanks to your father for lending us some fishing equipment, it's been so much better than before in the past few years." ”

Li Daniu also has some understanding of some of the former king's initiatives in the past two days, and can basically be called a good public servant serving the people, but unfortunately his ability is limited and he has not been systematic, so he has not changed the status quo of Tuvalu.

"That's what our family is supposed to do. Li Daniutian shamelessly called himself a royal family, and then asked, "Have you ever thought about leaving here and living in another country?"

"Go to another country?" Polly glanced at Li Daniu strangely and asked, "Why do you want to go to another country?"

"Because we're about to be submerged. ”

"No, I believe that we will not be drowned by the sea, for we still have God, and now we have the blessing of the old king's spirit in heaven. After a pause, Poli said, "I was born in this land, I grew up in this land, this is my home, and even if I live a better life in other countries, it is not my home." ”

Li Daniu looked at Polly's somewhat serious expression, and was speechless in his heart for a while, are you sure that what you said is not a scene?

"Well, I also believe that we will not be drowned by the sea. Li Daniu waved his hand and left the beach helplessly, this kind of thing is estimated that every Tuvaluan likes to hear it, because they are native Tuvaluans, but the sea water is ruthless, and the rise in sea level may have no impact on other countries at all, but for a country like Tuvalu with a maximum altitude of only 4.5 meters, it is indeed an urgent problem.

Looking back at the beautiful beach that is about to sink and unable to be developed, and looking at the Tuvaluans who are laughing and playing on the beach, and looking at the comfortable Tuvaluans, Li Daniu actually feels a sense of responsibility.

What the hell is responsibility? Li Daniu really wants to ask God: Can responsibility be exchanged for the sea water not rising?
