A large number of genetic farms allowed the Principality of Nord to be self-sufficient and even sold. Joseph deliberately formed an agricultural company, and the banks were generally joined by Nord Royal Group.
Due to the large number of ranches, Nord's slaughterhouse is becoming increasingly busy. Milk is one of the benefits of Nord citizens. Any Nord citizens can receive two kilograms of milk every day, and non-citizens can receive one kilogram if they have a labor contract.
Such benefits have further increased Joseph's reputation. Even if the labor workers can often hear respect for Joseph, Nord's economy is still relatively weak, but in terms of people's recognition, it is the best in Europe.
The purpose of vineyard construction is to build a winery. As a nobleman in Europe, you can have no money or castles, but you must have a winery. The status of a winery director is often much higher than that of a wealthy person in other industries, because in the eyes of Europeans, winery itself is a noble and elegant endorsement.
Like other companies, the winery is also named Nord Royal, but unfortunately the recipe is still under research, and the grapes in the first quarter have not yet come down, and the reputation of Nord Royal Red Wine has not yet been released.
Audi, a tens of million tons of oil field, was something that the Principality of Nord could have been brought out. What Joseph could not have imagined was that just with these two things, the European Coal and Steel Community issued an invitation to Joseph, which was something he had never thought of anyway.
In fact, although Joseph was a little surprised, he was not too surprised. After all, at this time the Principality of Nord had begun to become a country that no country could ignore, so it was reasonable to invite him.
Joseph naturally could not refuse such an invitation, so on February 13, 1981, James became a member of the European Coal and Steel Community Committee as the Prime Minister of the Nord Duke's Cabinet, and was named Dasheng.
Not long after Nord participated in the European Coal and Steel Community Committee, an invitation letter from the Moroccan royal family was placed in front of Joseph. The sudden invitation made Joseph wonder, and he couldn't help but convene the cabinet for discussion.
Nord Palace Council Room:
"So, is the Moroccan royal family planning to marry me?"
Joseph, sitting in the first place, was a little incredible. His surprise was not because of his own age, but because he never thought that Morocco would one day marry him.
"Yes, but I don't recommend your highness to agree."
James nodded and said that Joseph's words were correct, but at the same time he opposed Joseph's agreement. In fact, he didn't need to explain the reason, and Joseph understood the meaning of this sentence.
What the Ragna family lacks now is connections, European connections. Morocco is indeed not a small country, and the Moroccan royal family has a large influence, but this is not the best choice for the Ragna family. Danish royal family and British royal family are Joseph's best choice. If it is not suitable, even the Swedish royal family is better than the Moroccan royal family.
After all, Morocco's territory is in Africa, and the benefits it can bring to the Principal of Nord are far less than those of European indigenous countries. It is obvious which one is more important.
"What do you mean to refuse?"
"It cannot be refused, but it cannot be accessed in this way, preferably in official form rather than private form of the Ragna family."
It was originally just a simple thing, but now it was complicated by James' analysis. Joseph, who was a little irritated, waved his hand and said, "Let me leave this matter to you! How is the matter at the airport? Is the budget counted?"
Joseph did not want to continue talking about this. Most of the members of the cabinet were here. By the way, he asked about the airport. As the Principality of Nord is improving its international status day by day, it is really inappropriate without an airport.
"It's mainly a land issue, and the actual airport doesn't cost much..."
"I will solve the land, and deal with this matter as soon as possible. In addition, you should discuss the separation of the royal finance and the treasury as soon as possible. I hope to see the results at the latest in June."
Secretary Smith of the Ministry of Commerce was interrupted by Joseph before he could finish his words. At the same time, he also told James about the treasury and royal finances. James did not dare to delay and nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness, the oil well has been built, and the daily oil production is 800 tons. Representatives of the United States and the British royal family are here. Your Highness, look..."
As soon as James agreed, Smith, who was standing by, couldn't help but speak, saying that it was about selling crude oil. Nord did not have a huge demand for oil, so exports were its only choice.
“Price-wise?”
"The price given by American businessmen is $30 per barrel, while the price of the British royal family is $29.3, but compared to selling it to the United States, if it can be exchanged for British support..."
800 tons is 5,000 barrels, which means that the daily income sold to the United States is $150.000. What this money means for the continued construction of the Principality of Nord.
If the EU had been formed at this time and the Principality of Nord was one of them, then even if Joseph paid some compensation, he would sell the oil to the UK, because they were one, because only by making good friends with Britain would be the most in line with the interests of the Principality of Nord. But now the EU has not been formed yet, and the Principality of Nord still needs to rely on the United States. After hesitation, Joseph could only choose the United States side. This is actually not just a transaction, but also a test of the United States for the Principality of Nord.
Joseph's hesitation James and others also understood that they didn't say much when they saw Joseph make a decision. Smith wrote down Joseph's words and began to think about how to negotiate with American businessmen.
The meeting was basically over by this time. Except for James left by Joseph, all other cabinet members had left, and the conference hall fell silent for a moment.
"Sorry, James!"
The inexplicable apology did not puzzle James because he knew that this was an apology for his son, after all, that road was not as beautiful as it was.
"This is my home, Your Highness!"
James's words made the conference room silence again. After a long time, Joseph spoke: "Ten years, and in ten years Andy will go to the cabinet."
This was a promise and a compensation. James, who understood this sentence, smiled at Joseph gratefully, because he understood that even if Joseph did not explain it, it would continue. The explanation was just a kind of respect for him.
The matter has been resolved, so James naturally has to leave, but at the door, James suddenly stopped: "Your Highness, marriage between the Ragner family and Spain is not a good move."
Not a good move? Joseph understood that James's words meant, not what the Spanish royal family was like, but that Agata should not marry, because anyone could see that this young guy had ambitions and he would not always be under Joseph's control.
"Members of the Ragner family have left me with no choice, James."
He murmured in a low voice, not knowing whether to explain to James or his behavior, but he was still soft-hearted, otherwise Sarma would be the best choice.
Age? Is there a political saying about age?
