Chapter 17 Misunderstanding
China Yanjing Zhonghai
"What do you think about France?"
"That little ruler is considered to be our own! Besides, people take considerable risks in this matter, so we can't go too far."
"What the Prime Minister means to agree?"
"Opportunity is naturally agreeing, but we don't have that much foreign exchange in our hands. Mr. Li, what do you mean?"
"If we can exchange other things, it is naturally best. There has been news from the United States that Nord's aid is about 530 million. If we agree, it is impossible to get it without 800 million. It can be put together, but this will cause our foreign exchange tension..."
"Old Li said it well. It would be better if he could exchange other things for it. However, people don't care about these devices that help. What do we have?"
The Prime Minister's words made the No. 1 Hall of China Sea silent. A long time later, a faint sigh came. The first serious old man said, "We need negotiations urgently! But our main direction is whether we can exchange the US dollar for things, and Mr. Li will go to Europe?"
"Okay, the old man will leave this and let this little ruler see the sincerity of our mother-in-law's family."
The old man surnamed Li was not saying this nonsense. He had already thought of a gift in his heart, a gift that Joseph could not refuse.
...
Joseph naturally didn't know what happened in China. Four communities in the southeast, west and northeast of the Central District are under construction. In a balanced manner, each community can live in 10,000 people. Each community is equivalent to a small living area, with its own facilities such as primary schools, middle schools, supermarkets, restaurants, and cafes.
The central district is the government building, and the four small streets around it are divided into commercial streets, entertainment streets, food streets, and cultural streets...
Of course, these are just plans at this time, and it is expected that it will take one to two years to complete the work. Since all countries are watching here, Joseph dared not act as recklessly as before. Anyway, a little slowdown will not affect anything.
Workers in Germany and Eastern Europe have already lived in apartments, but because they are not Nord citizens, the Royal Bank of Nord or the Taxation Bureau will deduct $10 of their housing funds from their wages every month. No one has a big opinion on this, after all, their monthly salary is about $1,000, which is nothing.
Because of the migration policy, more and more elderly people and women came to the Principality of Nord. These were Germans and Eastern European relatives who came to work. James thought it was a problem for this matter, but as the detailed information of the group of people was placed in front of him, James' complaints turned into surprises.
As mentioned earlier, the Germans' cultural level is almost the best in the world. For this reason, the elderly and women who came here are actually typical representatives of teachers and scholars. At least they can afford such a job when there are not many highly educated talents in the Principality of Nord.
Joseph's maid Joanna is the representative of it. Her mother and father are now in the Principal of Nord and are constantly approaching the middle class of the Principal of Nord.
Compared with the relatives of German Eastern European workers, the relatives of German Eastern European workers do not have such an educational level. Fortunately, the Soviet Union had a strong control over Eastern Europe. Some young people were able to smuggle into Western Europe, but for those old people, this was not an easy thing.
In mid-August, the coastal areas of Nancheng District
Dozens of guards began to block the beach. Joseph, James and several cabinet members walked slowly on the beach, looking at the forest trees with a hint of pride.
"In the future, this piece will become our agricultural base, Karavis, remember to transfer five million dollars into my bank account."
The construction system can also use the money from Nord Royal Bank directly, but Joseph feels it is easy to be exposed, so he asks the president of Royal Bank to transfer the money he needs to into his bank account, and then use his own account to pay for the construction fee.
"It's still the same rule, I know how to do it, Your Highness."
After spending a long time together, these officials understood that Joseph was usually easy to talk to, so he made fun of him at this time.
"A large area of land reclamation is not a small project. Our grain will be enough to support two years. Which country will we sign a grain trade with next?"
Food is the lifeblood of a country. Although you can buy anything with money, it is best to control such a fatal thing in your own hands. For this reason, James did not speak on this matter, even if he felt that it was inappropriate to do so.
Nord is a country with a very small territory. Its small territory makes him ineligible to make too many achievements in food and animal husbandry. After all, these require occupying a large amount of land.
Reclamation is a way, but at this international cost, the funds for reclamation are indeed huge, and Nord's economy is simply unable to support such a large capital project. However, the mystery that Joseph has always shown makes James unable to help but look forward to it, otherwise he would have to persuade Joseph to give up this project at the risk of being suspected.
Back to the original topic, World War II had just ended, so the price of food was still very high. It is very important for the Principal of Nord to sign food trade with which country is next. Even countries like France and Britain cannot ignore the food trade contracts of nearly 10,000 people.
You should know that they don’t know the plan of the Principal of Nord. In their opinion, such a food trade contract will continue forever. Nothing can be seen in a year, but ten or twenty years will be a big sum.
"Two years? Two years is enough. We don't need to talk about these things now, let's talk about them later! James, when will the cabinet reshuffle begin?"
Joseph raised his eyebrows and started to change the topic after a few casual words. James also heard what Joseph said, but if he didn't believe it or not, he still had a high or low point and did not want to talk too much about this matter. Therefore, when he saw Joseph's change the topic, he took the opportunity to talk about the cabinet reorganization.
"We are a binary monarchy country, and the cabinet restructuring should have begun long ago, if it weren't for France..."
"Don't say that these are useless, I suggest that the cabinet reorganization be carried out at the same time as the House of Representatives. If there is no problem, I hope to see the results after the reorganization at the end of this year."
"There is no problem with the cabinet at the end of the year. Is the House of Parliament a little hasty?"
As soon as James finished speaking, Joseph looked over with a meaningful gaze. When he saw this gaze, James understood what Joseph misunderstood his meaning, but he could not explain such a thing. He opened his mouth to speak but still didn't know how to explain it, and he couldn't help but pause.
Several other cabinet members who followed him looked at James with concern, especially the only French official left behind, former Minister of Defense and current Minister of Health Robert.
What is the greatest function of the House? It is to cut the government's power and give it a lock. If Cres said this, there was nothing. After all, everyone understands what his purpose was in Nord. But now that James said this, how can Joseph not be disappointed?
Is James, who is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, who wants more power, or does he have ambition or he has other thoughts? Joseph is not a god and he doesn't know James' true thoughts, but as the ruler of a country, he has no reason not to be vigilant about his subordinates, especially James in crucial positions.
Of course, Joseph also understood that the possibility of the other party betrayal is quite small, but sometimes he has his own ambitions and small thoughts are actually a kind of betrayal, even if his purpose is not to hurt Joseph and damage Nord's interests.
"I hope to see the formation of the House by the end of the year, James, you have no problem!"
"No, no problem!"
