Legation of the Daqian Empire in the Gallic Empire.
"On such a place, you spent three million silver coins from the country?"
After getting out of the car, Prince Ding said with some disbelief. When the embassy in front of him was paying for the accounts, Prince Ding still remembered it very clearly. This embassy can be said to be the largest one in the West, so the empire asked to build it at that time. They were extremely gorgeous and wanted to use it as a center for Western diplomacy, so Prince Ding also gave them great authority when spending money. But looking at the ordinary six-story building in front of him, Prince Ding couldn't help but I know what to say. A building like this in such an area only costs one million silver coins at most. The remaining two million silver coins are probably already in the pockets of these rats.
Several diplomats dared not speak nearby. Although earth-shaking changes have taken place in the country, Gao Shaoyi has not thought of touching the personnel stationed abroad for the time being. Although these people are not clean under their butts, but then again The Suppression Army currently does not have suitable diplomats, so it can only replace them bit by bit. If they were to replace them all at once, it would be quite difficult for the Suppression Army.
"Your Majesty, in addition to construction costs, there are also a lot of ceremonial costs. There is no way to record that batch in the account. We have to establish a good relationship with these local people. The people who work for the empire are here. We are discriminated against here, and if we don’t carry out activities, we might get beaten up when we go out.”
Tang Dong is the diplomatic ambassador of the local embassy, and can be regarded as a leading figure in Western diplomacy. Seeing this guy's fat appearance, Prince Ding became angry. This guy himself is also young and energetic, and was sent by the country. He came to work abroad, but who knew that only ten years had passed, and his whole body had become like this. Some people believed that Zhu Bajie was his father.
Prince Ding snorted, and then led the people in. Although the conference committee had arranged a residence for Prince Ding, Prince Ding still wanted to live in his own place to manage major affairs. In addition, he also wanted to take this opportunity to inspect the palace. The imperial court was stationed abroad. So much money has been spent on the organization, but the effect is very little, so I also want to see how these people work and where they spend the money. Now I see them one by one. How could you not know, you fat head and big ears?
After entering the office building, Prince Ding had seen the world before, but he was shocked when he saw what he saw in front of him. It was just an embassy for foreign countries, and the interior was really magnificent. It seemed that part of the money was really spent on it. Well, from the outside it looks like it’s only a million silver coins at most, but from the inside it’s twice as much.
Of course, they have asked for a lot of money over the years. Take the embassy in front of them as an example. The annual fee is 1.5 million silver coins, which is far more than the embassies of other countries. However, in order to ensure that the Daqian Dynasty For contacts with Western countries, this money is paid out of hand. After all, you have to give gifts to many diplomats. If our gifts cannot be sent, let alone ordinary diplomatic contacts, there will really be many people looking for you. This is the price of a weak country. No one will treat you as an equal negotiation partner.
