Chapter Seventy-Four: Leasing the Country
The first program of the "One Day King of Liechtenstein" project is the enthronement ceremony, in fact, the so-called enthronement ceremony is that the national parliament specially prepared a key for the "interim king" to symbolize the sovereignty of the country, and then the hòu is handed over in front of all the members of the parliament and the relatives and friends of the interim king, of course, this key is only symbolic and does not have any practical effect.
Since the enthronement ceremony is held before dinner, so after the enthronement ceremony, the "temporary king" can rest, speaking of which the conditions of the place to live are very good (otherwise I'm sorry for the 70,000 US dollars, which is hundreds of thousands of yuan!), living in the palace castle standing in the middle of the mountainside, and you can also taste the secret red wine in the prince's private wine cellar, if you want to go out for a cruise, there is also a delicate and luxurious carriage as a means of transportation.
The "Temporary Queen" Mu Qi Miya looked at the luxurious and classical decoration in the room, and said to Shakru with a smile: "My dear, now I really feel a little bit like I am in a medieval palace, you look at these lampstands, these oil paintings and these sculptures, it is really too atmospheric." ”
Shakru shook his head and smiled, "Of course you feel this way, because this is indeed an ancient palace with a history of hundreds of years, but all the furnishings have been replaced by imitations." ”
"My dear, do you think that the life of the king and queen will be like that of the TV series and the movie, where every day is full of intrigue and deceit?" asked Mu Qimiya suddenly.
Shakru sighed, and then replied: "How can the things in film and television dramas be taken seriously, but then again, if you really want to be a qualified monarch or the lord of a princely state, it is actually a very hard errand. Because the military, political, diplomatic, economic, educational, religious, etc., etc., all of the country's affairs, you need to worry about it, if you want to be busy every day, you can't be busy at all, how can you have time to worry about those things in the harem"
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Qimiya suddenly hugged Sha Keru from behind and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, don't worry about state affairs, let's rest in peace!"
After breakfast the next day, Shakru began his career as king, first in a luxurious carriage to the government building, where he worked.
The royal carriage of this luxury car was modeled after the golden carriage of the Queen of England, also known as the royal golden carriage. Although the name has the word "gold" in it, and it is indeed ornate and exquisite, it is not made of gold, but the wood is painted in the color of gold, and it is said that the Queen of England's car was made of gilded wood.
The whole carriage is 36 meters high, more than seven meters long, weighs four tons, and is decorated with cherubs, crowns, palm trees, statues of the sea god with a human face and a dolphin tail, etc., which looks noble and exquisite. The groom driving the carriage is also dressed in a neat and crisp tuxedo, and everything is full of royal atmosphere and medieval style.
The interior of the carriage is very modern, with six hydraulic stabilizers installed to ensure the smooth movement of the carriage, and the addition of power windows and interior heating, in which the classic and the modern are perfectly blended.
When Shakru was lamenting the carriage, the "temporary queen" Muqi Miya, who was riding in the carriage with him, suddenly pointed to a street sign on the side of the road and said to Shakru in surprise: "Honey, look at that street sign, it is actually engraved with your name!"
Shakru followed Muqimiya's instructions to look out of the car window, and sure enough, a street sign on the side of the road clearly wrote the words "Shakru Street", and the coachman said loudly in front: "Dear Mr. King, in order to celebrate your accession to the throne, there are now three main streets in the country named after you!"
At this time, Shakru remembered that there is indeed such a content in the tourism project, which can be named after the "temporary king", so the street signs of these roads are basically changed every day, but if you look carefully, it will be very easy to replace, because in order to replace it every day, it is easy to clean paint. Not only that, but every policeman I met on the road saluted Shakru with a respectful expression!
Unconsciously, the whole city, oh, no, the whole country has gone around, it's not that the carriage is running fast, but the country is too small, according to the Northeast dialect, it is "the time to eat a handful of melon seeds can be a day trip to the whole country"
Soon the carriage came to the government building in Liechtenstein, which is also very interesting, and it is estimated that it is the only one in the world, the whole building has only three floors, the top floor is the Prime Minister's House, the second floor is the court, and the first floor is the prison!
Can you imagine the king and the prisoners living in the same building? Isn't it strange that you can't put it into words?
However, according to the actual situation of this country, such a situation is nothing, because this country is already so small that there are no thieves, the crime rate is basically zero, and the number of prisoners in prison is generally not more than ten, so the first-floor prison is already rich. There have even been cases where government workers have been locked in the building because they are working overtime, and it turns out that the criminals have helped to open the door, because when it is time for the jailer to go home
The reason is that there are so few people here, and they basically know each other, so you are always embarrassed to attack acquaintances, right?
In the office of the Prime Minister's Office, there are also several documents that need to be approved for the interim king of Shakru, of course, it cannot be a real document, most of which are the introduction of Liechtenstein and the introduction of various tourism projects, after reading Shakru is very emotional.
It is normal to have a small country exhibition and tourism industry, but it is a creation to engage in "national overall rental" like Liechtenstein, which is like operating the whole country as a high-end travel agency, including food, accommodation and play, which is really suitable for some institutions or couples to hold large-scale events such as weddings.
It is no wonder that Prince Hans Adam II is among the richest royal families in Europe, and he did not have much money when he succeeded to the throne in 1989.
Although Muqi Miya played very proudly, there was one person here who was extremely depressed, and this person was none other than Liu Qing, who was regarded as a potential opponent by Muqi's sisters!
