After separating from Tian Kang and the others, Yunjing was led to the street outside by the people they arranged. There was already a simple carriage waiting here.
It is said to be simple, but in fact it is not small, it is equivalent to a room. The details are very exquisite, but it is not ostentatious at all.
If you think about it, you will understand how something like this arranged by the imperial court can be so high-profile, and it is not meant to show off deliberately.
However, at first glance, this carriage is something that no ordinary person with money can buy. From the details, it can be seen that the specifications are very particular, and it is easy to distinguish the special status of the person riding this carriage.
The cart was pulled by three black horses that were three feet tall. They had fine scales on their bodies that you couldn't even see if you weren't paying attention. Moreover, each of the three horses also had a pair of folded wings!
The life breath of these three horses alone is equivalent to the true artistic conception of human martial arts.
"Envoy Yun, please, I am the etiquette officer of the Ministry of Etiquette. I will explain some things to Ambassador Yun next. I will try to explain it to you clearly before arriving at the destination, so I need to accompany you for a while." The person leading the carriage made an invitation.
gesture said.
Yun Dingding nodded and said, "Thank you. May I ask how you call me?"
"If you don't dare, just call me Tao Ran," the official in his thirties said with a smile.
Yunjing cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Tao, please come with me."
So the two of them boarded the carriage one after another. The interior of the carriage was spacious, covered with soft and expensive carpets, and there were tables and chairs. Everything was unique and unique. It really brought low-key luxury to the extreme. The simplicity on the outside was only for outsiders to see.
After they boarded the car, there were dozens of troops outside to escort them away. The streets in this area were spacious, and except for the meticulous guards, almost no one could be seen walking around. As they moved forward, they could only hear the sound of uniformity.
footsteps.
This departure was not as high-profile as when Yunjing arrived.
There were no servants in the carriage. After Yunjing and Tao Ran sat down, Tao Ran said: "Envoy Yun, I will briefly explain our arrangements for you, various configurations and conveniences. First, let you know
I have a general understanding, and I will give you a detailed introduction later. Please don’t think I’m verbose.”
Go straight to the topic as soon as you come in, instead of being polite. This style of work is quite comfortable for Yun Jing, and he nods as if listening.
So Tao Ran continued: "I may have said something a little confusing, but I will try to express it clearly for you. So first of all, let me start with this carriage. This is one of the vehicles provided for you. There are four more such vehicles in total.
, it is enough for you to use in our Dragon Kingdom. If you have any other needs, please inform us and we will try our best to help provide them."
"Because you are a member of a friendly country, if you travel in the future, try to take the carriages and horses provided by us to facilitate people's identification and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Our people all know such special carriages and horses and will not collide easily.
"
"Then as envoy Yun saw, the carriage can also fly in the void. Our Dragon Kingdom has a clear plan for flying in the void. Envoys from your friendly countries should try not to be higher than 1,500 feet. The horses pulling the carriage have been specially trained.
, but there is no need to give special instructions, they have their own sense of proportion. I will provide a general map of the capital later, with various locations and flight routes marked above. I also ask you to try not to deviate from the specific route in the future. If you encounter special circumstances, we will consider it as appropriate.
comminicate"
He paused briefly as he said this, giving Yunjing time to think.
In fact, to sum it up, this kind of carriage can only be ridden by special status, it is identifiable, and it cannot be rampaged around the city at will... Anyway, he will provide a detailed introduction later.
After a moment, Yun Dingding nodded to express understanding.
Immediately, Tao Ran continued: "By the way, we will allocate a special sum of money to provide for the maintenance of carriages and horses, as well as the expenses for your residence, which is enough for daily needs. In addition, in the future, your envoy members
For consumption in the city, try to keep the receipts. Our Dragon Country can provide reimbursement up to a certain amount. Of course, it is limited to normal consumption."
Tsk, this is the style of a big country. It can be said that you take good care of your 'little brother'. The so-called normal consumption is easy to understand. For example, if you lose in gambling, let alone reimbursement, you might be kicked away if you tell me.
,What the hell.
"Secondly, in the days to come, if you are traveling on official business, try to take the carriages and horses provided by us. If you are traveling on private matters, then you can do it yourself. The place where Mr. Yun went before was where our Dragon Kingdom usually met with envoys from various countries.
At the communication point, you can go there for negotiation on matters such as exchanges and conflicts between the two countries. We have people who are specifically responsible for your departure from the country on standby to strive for friendly coexistence between the two countries."
"Your Li Kingdom is very different from our Dragon Kingdom in many aspects, especially when it comes to laws, which may inadvertently cause conflicts and misunderstandings. Therefore, I will provide you with relatively complete legal books.
I also hope that you will also provide a complete law. Our members who are responsible for leaving the country will study it carefully and try to properly handle conflicts involving legal matters. This aspect is for members who will leave the country and come to our country in the future.
Yes, if they encounter trouble and seek help from your envoys, we need to communicate with each other. If they do not seek your intervention, it will be handled by our country. Then members of your envoys will enjoy certain immunity. We will provide an explanation for the details.
, let me talk about one main aspect, that is, if your envoys feel that their own security is threatened, they can carry out unlimited counterattacks. At that time, if there are people from our Dragon Kingdom, they will try their best to provide you with help."
At this point, Tao Ran paused again, giving Yun Jing time to digest and understand.
In the future, when the two countries formally have diplomatic relations, people from the two countries will definitely set foot in each other's territory. Due to cultural differences, various conflicts and misunderstandings are inevitable, so it is necessary to provide the laws of both parties for comparison. The specifics will depend on the specific occurrence.
Whatever the matter, Long Guo will definitely make its own decision on some matters, while some matters need to be handed over to Dali for handling.
This aspect of general regulations is a very serious issue. After all, it involves legal crimes and, to put it bluntly, it is a diplomatic incident.
Of course, in this era, especially when the Dragon Kingdom is strong, as long as many things are not made explicit, both parties will turn a blind eye. After all, no one likes trouble.
After a while, Tao Ran continued: "Then there is the residence provided by our country to you. Our place is called the Consular Office. After it is provided to you, it is equivalent to the territory temporarily authorized to you. We have the right to harvest it at any time.
, you have absolute autonomy within the consular office area. You can take unlimited action against anyone who attempts to attack the consular office. Regarding the issue of autonomy, one thing I want to add is that even if a criminal escapes from you
We cannot break into the Consulate Office by force, but we will try our best to communicate with you to avoid unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings."
In this regard, Yunjing understands that the Consular Mansion is a temporarily authorized territory of the Dragon Kingdom and has the right to take it back at any time. However, during this period, the Consular Mansion area has absolute autonomy. However, the word "absolute" must be placed in quotation marks. People are like that
Once you say it, there is no need to take it seriously, just know it well.
"I need to remind you here that as I have said before, all countries in the consular office area have 'absolute' autonomy, so if you go to the consular office of another country, remember to communicate in advance to avoid being regarded as an attack on the consular office and causing conflicts.
Misunderstanding, of course, the same applies to the consulates of other countries if they want to visit you. We in the Dragon Kingdom do not prevent mutual exchanges between any countries."
After Yunjing understood this part, he continued: "The next thing is what happens in your country's consular house. In the consular house we provide, you can station an army of up to a thousand people. This is your
Rights are used to protect oneself. However, Ambassador Yun, please be aware that this army should be restrained as much as possible. It is best not to leave the consular office in large numbers with more than twenty people at ordinary times. This will cause misunderstandings. After all, it is equivalent to the army setting foot on our territory. This is
It's a very sensitive matter. Of course, if they leave as ordinary people, there will be no problem, but what they do will be subject to the laws of our Dragon Kingdom."
"An army of a thousand men is a privilege I provide to you. The number shall not exceed one thousand. As for the remaining members, there are no requirements. After all, matters related to the two countries after diplomatic relations require a large number of manpower. Then, the army is
In the military, service personnel are service personnel. Please make it clear. There is no need to be clever about some of the loopholes. I hope you can understand them mentally."
Tao Ran had tried to be as tactful as possible, clearly reminding him not to increase the number of troops from this aspect just because the number of service members was unlimited. There was no need to take advantage of such loopholes. No one was a fool.
After Yunjing expressed his understanding, he smiled and said: "You are responsible for the expenses of the troops stationed and the service members arranged by you. I believe that the funds provided can only meet the daily expenses of the consular office.
Please understand this, Ambassador Yun."
To put it bluntly, it is a courtesy for people to take care of you, but they will not foolishly pay you to help you raise an army and get a salary.
After Yun Jing understood clearly, Tao Ran hesitated and said, "So far, from your Liguo side, only Yun Envoy has arrived, right?"
"Yes, after the official exchange of credentials with your country, we will arrange for people to improve the consular office as soon as possible," Yun Jing said calmly.
There was nothing he could do about it. He didn't bring anyone with him when he came to Dragon Kingdom. He had to go back and make arrangements as soon as possible. If he had done it before coming to Dragon Kingdom, the distance would be too far and it would be very troublesome. There would even be no need to make arrangements with Dragon Kingdom at all.
Diplomatic relations, because it is almost impossible for the two countries to communicate with each other at such a long distance, but it is different now. Dragon Kingdom has such means as Domain Gate, and the distance problem can be ignored.
Although letters of credence have not been officially exchanged to establish diplomatic relations, Yunjing can also guess that it will be easier for the two countries to communicate by then. With the means and technology of the Dragon Kingdom, a domain gate will definitely be established in Dali, so this aspect of the issue
Don't worry about it.
Nodding, Tao Ran pondered for a moment and said: "Currently, since only one person, Yunshi, is here, manpower is needed in all aspects. Here I can give Yunshi a suggestion. If manpower is needed, he can be hired temporarily in our Dragon Kingdom. If necessary,
If so, we can provide help here. Secondly, if you believe that you don't want to hire manpower, you can also go to the shops opened in the Agency City. They sell agency puppets in various models and uses, and some are even the same as ordinary people. Of course
, the price is not that close to the people, I just make a suggestion, it is up to you to decide whether you want to do this or not.”
Nodding, Yun Jing said: "I will seriously consider it."
Mechanism City, this is the second time Yunjing has heard this name. It is obvious that this force is definitely one of the best in Dragon Kingdom in terms of mechanism creation. As for why it is not the most awesome one, of course it is because of Dragon Kingdom itself. How could it be?
Are you allowed to exist who is so awesome that he is even inferior to the Dragon Kingdom?
Then Tao Ran said with a solemn expression: "Speaking of which, there is one thing that I have to mention. After all, it will involve the future exchanges between our two countries, so we can't be careless."
"Master Tao, please speak," Yunjing said seriously.
So he said: "What I want to talk about is the currency issue. There are huge differences between our two countries, which will inevitably lead to currency asymmetry. Therefore, the issue of currency differences must be resolved carefully, but there is no rush in this regard.
, we need to send personnel from both sides to investigate and compare from all aspects in the future, and negotiate a suitable ratio. The details must be based on actual conditions, and this kind of thing cannot be fixed, and it will cause currency problems due to various reasons.
The fluctuation of the proportion, I think it should not be difficult for Yunshi to understand this aspect, right?"
"I understand that this problem does need to be solved urgently. After our consular office is fully operational, we will communicate with you and discuss it as soon as possible," Yunjing nodded seriously.
The purchasing power of currencies in the two countries is definitely different. This aspect will be very complicated, but it is not a big problem. There are departments that specialize in this area. Just leave it to them when the time comes.
Regardless of any country, currency is the lifeblood. It does not mean that if you can create currency without limit, the country will be rich. It needs to be based on the actual situation. There is a certain amount of money to be created every year. Failure to do so will only lead to economic turmoil or even collapse.
When money comes, it loses its own value.
Nodding, Tao Ran said: "There is no urgency in this aspect at the moment, but it is the first problem that must be solved after the submission of credentials and formal diplomatic relations. To be honest, any country that has diplomatic relations with our country, the Dragon Country, will face this problem. We have considerable
Rich experience. Oh, by the way, Mr. Yun went to the Foreign Affairs Office of our Dragon Kingdom before. There was a special area there to announce the changes in the currency ratio of each country. It was based on the national currency of our Dragon Kingdom. If you have time, you can
Let’s find out. Speaking of things, things are unpredictable. In the past few years, I have witnessed the currencies of many countries become worthless, but there are also some countries whose currencies suddenly become valuable.”
There is actually such a place. Yunjing's heart moved and he said: "I must go and see it if I have the chance."
At the same time, Yunjing also felt a little emotional. As the most powerful country in the world, the Dragon Kingdom even used the currency of the Dragon Kingdom to measure its monetary standards. This made him think of the beautiful country in his previous life...
Next, Tao Ran continued to explain some other things to Yunjing, which were all basic things to understand, such as trade and business with countries that both sides could deal with after diplomatic relations, such as the exchange and study of students from both sides, etc.
Unknowingly, they communicated for more than an hour. Although the carriages and horses they rode were traveling on the ground, their speed was not slow. After all, there was almost no obstruction to their fellow travelers in this area.
They walked hundreds of miles in more than an hour.
While communicating with Tao Ran, Yunjing was also paying attention to the situation along the way. It is undeniable that this special area is almost filled with consular offices of other countries, some large and some small. However, because it was already night, Yunjing did not use his mind to explore.
He didn't know the situation at the consular offices of each country because few people went out.
However, there are more or less guards around the consular offices of different countries, and the clothes of each country are different, which gives Yun Jing a new experience.
The cultural differences between countries are not only reflected in their clothing, but also in the styles of weapons, the words they speak, and even their external features, such as skin, eyeballs, forehead bones, hair, etc.
In terms of height, body shape, etc., if you look closely, you can still find differences between people from different countries.
People from some countries shocked Yun Jing and made him realize it. For example, in some countries, everyone is missing an ear, which was obviously cut since childhood. Some countries like to have fancy tattoos on their skin.
, some countries like to wear metal circles on their body, the more people seem to have higher status, some countries don’t leave their hair, some countries all have six fingers, some countries are dominated by women, some countries like to use bones as decoration...
There are all kinds of strange things, and Yunjing feels that it is absolutely necessary for him to buy a popular science book about various countries in the future. He thinks that such books definitely exist in the Dragon Kingdom.
To be honest, just the information about each country is an extremely rich masterpiece. If you want to fully understand each country, I am afraid that no one can do it in a lifetime.
In addition to seeing the differences in different countries along the way, Yunjing also felt the aura fluctuations of the mythical realm in the consulates of many countries. Not many, but not many. He only felt hundreds of them along the way!
Of course, there is more than one aura from the mythical realm in the consular offices of some countries. Yunjing estimates that the existence of these people is to support his country's appearance. However, then again, in fact, most of the consular offices have
There is no mythical realm. There is a high probability that such a country will not be able to get it, and if it does, it will not waste it here. Usually consular offices that do not exist in the mythical realm have one thing in common, that is, their consular offices are relatively small.
Jing saw that the smallest consul's residence was only a three-in-one courtyard, and the one with the highest cultivation level could not even reach the true artistic conception...
The Dragon Kingdom is the most powerful country in the world, and the Imperial Capital of the Dragon Kingdom can be said to be the most central place in the world. Almost all the cultures and civilizations of the world are gathered here. Here, if you are serious, you can almost understand the entire world.
everything!
Before that, there were not many people in Dali who had even heard of the Dragon Kingdom. If Yunjing hadn't accidentally seen the record when he was browsing the books, he wouldn't have known about it. If he hadn't seen the travelogue, Yunjing would have wanted to
They knew that Mr. Tang and the others would not understand until they went to Long Country.
In other words, where Dali is located today, those countries can be said to be in a closed and remote place, and they have not yet been able to integrate with the "international".
Thinking of this, Yun Jing couldn't help but feel a little sad, but this emotion was fleeting, because it would get better in the future. In the long course of time, as long as there is a beginning, there is no such thing as a step slower. As time goes by, the contact becomes more and more
The distance will be shortened at night.
Unconsciously, Yun Jing and the others arrived at their destination. As the carriage stopped, Tao Ran stopped and said, "Envoy Yun, we are here. This is the consular office arranged for your country."
He didn't say anything about the size of the place, don't be dissatisfied with the extra care, or anything like that. He probably didn't think about it at all. In the Dragon Kingdom, you can only passively accept whatever arrangements they make. Of course, if you want to make a fuss and ask for more, maybe it's not impossible.
To adjust, it depends on whether you can lower your face and pretend to be pitiful.
After arriving here, Yunjing's doubts deepened, and he always felt as if he was being 'targeted'.
Because the location of the consular office arranged for him by the Dragon Kingdom is very remote. The remoteness here does not mean that it is thrown into the corner. There are also many buildings around it, which are obviously reserved for the consular offices of other countries. The so-called remoteness is
Pointing to the consular office assigned to Da Li, there was not even a single person within ten miles around, and it was as deserted as a deserted place.
Of course, the environment here is not deserted at all. It is obvious that someone is taking care of it regularly, the roads are clean, there are street lights on both sides of the road, and the plants and greening are also carefully maintained.
Why is it arranged in this place?
Yunjing had a hundred questions in his mind, was he trying to prevent himself from contacting other people?
After getting off the car, Yun Jing smiled calmly and said, "Excuse me, I'll see you off."
"Envoy Yun is serious. From now on, this will be the consular office for you to leave the country. Because the imperial court and various countries have clear regulations, the consular office is equivalent to the territory of each country. It is inconvenient for us to cross the border, so we can only send it here." Tao Ran smiled.
smiled.
While he was speaking, the people who accompanied him quickly came forward and hung a prepared plaque in the blank space above the gate of the wall outside the consul's residence, with the words "Li Guo" written in the center, and relatively small words in the lower left corner.
The words "Consular Office" are written on it.
These words actually glow at night, and they are written in Dali script, but there is also a translation of Longguo script on the plaque.
He was fully prepared. Without waiting for Yun Jing to say anything, Tao Ran took a jade pendant from an accompanying guard and handed it to Yun Jing, saying: "Envoy Yun, please keep this token. It is the core of controlling the formation of the consul's office. At present,
It is in an unused state. You only need to enter a trace of true energy, vitality or even spiritual energy to determine the highest authority. After confirmation, the formation will be under your control. Later, you can also use the same method to confirm the entry and exit permissions for others. Here is a detailed
Please keep the introduction first. Tomorrow morning, we will send you a general map of the imperial capital, as well as legal books and some daily necessities, etc. There is no shortage of everything that should be there. By the way, please also ask Yunshi
Hang up the flag of leaving the country as soon as possible so that people can know it, and then we will not disturb you and say goodbye."
After explaining everything, they left, leaving Yunjing alone here. It was so solemn when they arrived, but now it was so deserted.
Without worrying too much, Yunjing walked towards the consul's office. As he stepped forward, he confirmed the formation control authority of the consul's office.
Why would you place me in such a deserted place? There is no one in a ten-mile radius. After thinking about it, I still have no clue.
To say that he was left out by the Dragon Kingdom, it is not true at all, because the consular mansion arranged is not only relatively central, but also very large, covering hundreds of acres of land. This kind of scope is beyond the reach of other consular mansions that Yunjing has seen before.
