How, this is the beginning of the Duchy of Nod, Prime Minister Crixus, I have given you the basics, if the economy of Nod does not improve next year, I will not forgive you."

The seemingly joking words sounded like a warning in Crixus' ears, but at this point, he could not care less about the warning. If there was one word to describe the state of his heart at this time, it would be shocking, and not just to him, but to the officials who had arrived with Joseph, who could not help but be shocked to see the North Side, which a month ago had been a chaotic and uninhabited area, now in this state.

The avenue connecting the Central District is located right in the middle of the Third and Second Streets, the clean streets aside, the neat dark red seven-story low-cost apartments, the beautiful white three-story storefront buildings, the two nine-story office buildings like gateways, the commercial streets and low-cost apartment blocks of the North Side made these officials feel like they were in a dream because it was so unbelievable.

A touch of modernity is not available in the whole of Europe at this time, the streets are lined with benches, garbage bins, and French sycamore trees, for these officials in the North Side can only be described in two words, that is beautiful.

When they learned that the beautiful low-cost apartments are free for them to live in, most of the citizens could not help but shed tears for the Nordic royal family, for their ancestors struggled for nearly a hundred years of the Duchy of the Nordic tears.

If the system has a reputation column, then you can see that the reputation of the citizens of the Nordic family has risen from familiarity to admiration, but unfortunately, there are very few young Nordic men, otherwise, Joseph would want to raise an army easily.

The low-cost apartments are just a foundation, something for Joseph to brush up on his reputation, while Joseph's actual aim is to activate the economy of the North Side, which is very difficult, even though the North Side will be facing a massive recruitment situation.

Restaurants need people, clothing stores need people, slaughterhouses need people, and taxi companies need people, but now the Duchy of Nod does not have a pillar economy, in other words, if there are no trade orders, no exports, then the Duchy of Nod is a pool of stagnant water, the situation will gradually get worse, and eventually the economy collapses.

Now the citizens of the Duchy of Noord still use the U.S. dollar, Joseph does not have the intention of creating their currency, because he knows that it will not take too long for the euro to emerge, the Duchy of Noord is a small country, but as long as you find a way to get the support of the United States, to become a member of the European Union is just a matter of time.

"North City District will temporarily become the main area of the Duchy of Nod, your cabinet and ministries can first move here, the office building (office) is also empty, leaving a building for you to use as office space it!"

Such a thing Crixus and several cabinet members naturally will not refuse, of course, at this time they do not have the heart to refuse, full of doubts.

Joseph ignored them and walked on foot to the Royal Bank of Nod, followed by a few forbidden guards, the streets were crowded at this time and no one could guarantee that there were people with ulterior motives.

The journey was uneventful and by this time there were few people following Joseph, Crixus was the only French official among them.

"Tip: Sell a Chinese restaurant by auction and get 6,000."

The final price of the Chinese restaurant was 1.5000, the reason why it was so little was that Joseph had just announced the policy that all citizens of the Duchy of Nod could borrow up to 20.000 from the Royal Bank of Nod in the auction, so the amount that came into the system was very little, and most of it was converted into loans in the bank.

There are many tips, most of the stores and processing plants in the North City were auctioned off, and privatization is the quickest way to improve the economy, even Joseph did not mean to take a stake in it there is no need to take a stake, after all, the entire principality belongs to Joseph.

"Your Highness, from the morning to now the Nordic Royal Bank has lent more than 500.000, most of the stores in the first and second streets have been sold, and the commercial tax ......" the president of the Nordic Royal Bank is also the deputy minister of finance, so he has only asked The first and second streets have been sold.

A glance at the virtual map above the balance of 80.000, Joseph nodded to show that he knew, hesitated a moment before saying: "Business tax is exempt for the time being! Banks, taxi companies, transport companies, ports, and ship repair yards are up and running as soon as possible. Crixus, your cabinet will keep an eye on this matter for a while!"

Banks, taxi companies, transport companies, ports, and ship repair yards were all part of the Nordic Royal Group, which Joseph had just created, and the staff of the banks was all officials of the Ministry of Finance, so to get these companies up and running quickly, they had to be hired quickly.

The deputy minister of finance hurriedly replied, although Crixus was a little distracted he heard Joseph's instructions, so he also nodded and agreed.

The next time Joseph stayed in the bank, looking at the crowded bank reception hall corner of their mouth can not help but emerge a smile, prosperity starts here ......

That night Joseph shut himself alone in the study, looking at the buffer area of a large open space, Joseph deliberately selected an unobtrusive place to build a collection of elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and universities as one school, the Nordic Kingdom is underpopulated, there is no need to build too large schools, more unnecessary to build separately.

"Prompt, the university has been established, opened new energy department, new resources, and research and development project center activation."

Hearing the prompt Joseph hurriedly looked towards the building bar, indeed, wind turbines have been shown, but unfortunately, there are no solar panels, for the small territory of the Duchy of Nod solar panels are the most suitable for them. There is no choice but to popularize education as soon as possible, as long as there are more university students, then go to the laboratory research, solar panels developed sooner or later.

An area on the mountain range was leveled out and a set of wind turbines were placed there, but it was so expensive to build the school and level the land that in the end, Joseph was able to build a turbine that just barely met the electricity needs of the project area.

Joseph was going to add a hospital, after all, food, education, and health is a country can not ignore things, once ignored will certainly cause massive deaths. However, Joseph did not have enough money in hand, so he finally had to put a small clinic on the side of the apartment in the Third Street District, which was not possible to see serious illnesses, but it was still possible to deal with some minor diseases.

The school also added a new medical department at the moment the clinic was completed, but like the new energy department, it had all the textbooks and labs, but no teachers, so students had to figure out and explore on their own.

The daytime was chaotic, so the next morning a school and clinic were suddenly built next to the apartments and no one thought it was wrong, even if someone had seen an empty lot, they must have thought they were mistaken yesterday.

There are not many people in the Duchy of Nord, and most of them have settled in the North Side in a day, with those who have money buying apartments to live in, and those who don't have money enjoying low-cost apartments for free.

"Tip: The trial period of the construction system is over, the construction cost and time are back to normal, the loan can be raised to 10.000.000, the loan has been 100.000, the remaining amount is 9.900.000."

"Prompt: Construction system trial period ends, free to exchange currency, whether to tie the bank?"

Hearing the second prompt, ecstasy flashed on Joseph's face, he did not expect that after the end of the trial period, he could freely exchange currency, which means that the real dollars can also be used in the construction system.

"Binding!"

The system construction of the bank only has a free exchange system, for this reason, Joseph naturally did not hesitate to choose to bind, in the moment of binding the Nordic Royal Bank Joseph's account shows a balance of -110.000.

There is one downside to the bonding, and that is that the loan function disappears. As long as Joseph repays the 110.000 he owes, he will only be able to use the funds in the bank to build the Nordic duchy in the future.

Looking at the virtual map of the Central District and the South City, Joseph began to look forward to the assistance of the Marshall Plan, although most of it was mechanical and physical assistance, Joseph had already thought of away, the only thing he needed was a person he could trust to go to the East.

At this time, the East was just beginning to develop economically through the 1980s in the previous history, but because of the Western blockade, some machines and equipment with high gold content could not be obtained at all.

Joseph's idea is very simple, first arrange for a person to quietly go to France to contact the Chinese ambassador in France, and then wait for the U.S. aid to secretly sell to China, with the money sold to build the Duchy of Nod, so that the U.S. will not find out, China gets something and he gets money, it is a win-win situation.

But two difficult problems are also in front of him, the first is to arrange who is suitable for the past, the second is how to transport to China in the future, the geographical location of the Duchy of Naud is not very good, to China only through the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean a road can go. Suez Canal can also be, but it is too dangerous, a careless will be discovered by the United States.
