The Kingdom of Central Africa also rents the first office building and has a quota of fifty people. The Kingdom of Spain and the Ottoman Empire are two large countries among the indigenous countries. Although they are also short of money, compared to small countries, they have a lot more
.
Didn’t you see that the Kingdom of Spain owes several million yuan in debt to the Royal Bank?
Being able to owe so much money is considered a skill. If other indigenous countries, such as the Kingdom of England, wanted to owe so much money, the banks of the Tang Dynasty would not lend it to them.
This first embassy building in the embassy area is either a big country among the indigenous people, or a country with a relatively good economy among the indigenous people. Ordinary indigenous countries will not rent the embassy area in the first building.
The first embassy building in the embassy district has public halls, large conference rooms, banquet halls, etc. on the first floor, which can be rented directly and temporarily.
On the second floor is the consulate of the Ottoman Empire, a big country among the indigenous people.
The third floor is the consulate of the Kingdom of England. Although the Kingdom of England is a bit small, it relied on the slave trade in the early years and later relied on coal resources, so it had some money.
The fourth floor is the consulate of the Kingdom of Denmark. The Kingdom of Denmark has developed quite well since it moved to the middle of the west coast of Africa. It has established many plantations and provided various agricultural products to the surrounding overseas territories and ports of Datang.
It can be considered as making some money.
The fifth floor is the Consulate of the Kingdom of France. This Kingdom of France actually sounds poor. It owes a lot of debt to the Tang Dynasty and has no money. However, they recently found a large coal mine in the Ruhr area, and then mined the coal and sold it to the Tang Dynasty.
The economy has improved slightly. At the same time, the French Kingdom is the front line against the Tatars. The Tang Dynasty also provides a lot of support to the French Kingdom. The free or paid assistance to the European region every year is always indispensable for the French Kingdom.
One serving.
The sixth and seventh floors are naturally the consulates of the Kingdom of Spain. Well, since Spain has annexed Portugal, strictly speaking, this is the United Kingdom of Spain and Portugal.
Even though the Kingdom of Spain has been having a hard time recently, it still has many colonies in the Americas. And although the Spaniards no longer engage in ocean trade, they have returned to Europe's coastal trade. This family has
There are still some.
In addition to the five indigenous countries in the first embassy building, there are several other embassy buildings and dozens of other consulates of other countries, ranging in size, but most of them rent cubicles to establish their own consulates.
After chatting with several familiar friends, Viscount Norris discovered that some of his old friends had already finished their term of office and returned to China, and there was a high probability that they would not be able to come back.
The number of diplomatic personnel stationed in the Tang Dynasty in each indigenous country is very precious, and will attract competition in their respective countries.
The forty diplomats in their Kingdom of England are all nobles.
Some have the same title as Viscount Norris, and some do not have a title, but they are also children of nobles. Even the lowest diplomatic entourage, they are generally children of nobles.
For example, the two followers brought over by Viscount Norris were the second son of the earl and the second son of the marquis.
If people of this status were placed in England, they would be extremely noble beings.
But in the Tang Dynasty, they were nothing. Their only identity was that of England's diplomats, and they were the lowest diplomatic attendants. When they went out, they had to work part-time as coachmen and servants.
This is true for the Kingdom of England, and it is no exception for other indigenous countries. The minister of the Ottoman Empire to the Tang Dynasty was still his prince.
No, you can’t say that, after all, the Ottoman Empire...
That’s not right, it can no longer be called the Ottoman Empire, but should be called the Ottoman Kingdom.
Because the king of the Ottoman Kingdom has long publicly declared that his title is not the title of emperor, nor is it the title of king of kings, king of kings, etc. When translated, their title is similar to the title of king.
What, you said we are the Ottoman Empire, but you and I are the Ottoman Emperor.
Are you kidding? Absolutely not. You are slandering me.
The word empire belongs exclusively to the Tang Empire. There is only one emperor in the world, and that is our beloved Holy Emperor Li Xuan, who is greater than the sun.
If you keep saying that I am the emperor, I will never be done with you!
There are many similar situations. Anyway, these days, there are no rulers of indigenous countries who dare to say that they are emperors, kings of kings, kings of kings, etc.
At most, they call themselves kings, rulers of a certain place, protectors and other titles.
Well, the Ottoman Kingdom’s minister to the Tang Dynasty was one of the princes of the current Ottoman King.
Most of the ministers from other countries are also nobles of their respective countries.
From the composition of these personnel, it can be seen that competition among various indigenous countries for diplomatic personnel stationed in Tang Dynasty is relatively fierce.
In addition, most of them are like Viscount Norris, they don't want to go back after they come.
Before coming to Datang and living in Datang for a period of time, you may have various feelings about Datang. But after living in Datang for a period of time, almost all diplomats do not want to go back.
They always tried every means to stay within the Tang Empire.
There are even people who want to obtain Tang nationality through surrender, high density, etc.
Not to mention, there are really a few who have succeeded.
But most of them still cannot succeed, because Datang does not like to accept these foreign indigenous people, and the very small number of naturalization quotas given every year are not for these people, but for temporary residents who have served Datang for many years.
It's not like Norris has never considered selling some secrets to get naturalized to the Tang Dynasty. However, there are no secrets in his hand, or in the whole of England, that are worth the Tang Dynasty using a naturalization quota to win over him.
To put it bluntly, the Tang Dynasty did not take England seriously.
You can do whatever you want, but I, the Tang Dynasty, just don't bother to look at you.
The saddest thing in this world is not being hostile, but being ignored!
The people of the Tang Dynasty, with their extreme self-confidence, ignored all the indigenous countries!
No matter how much they tried, Datang was still too lazy to take another look!
This, perhaps, is the greatest tragedy of these indigenous countries!
Naturalization through unconventional means is not possible, so Viscount Norris can only take his time. Anyway, he will continue to live in the Tang Dynasty as a diplomat for a while.
