《Reborn as a small European country》Chapter 9: Cooking, Education, and the Future
Advertisement
"Your Highness..."
"It's hard work, what's the result of the contact?"
Looking at Andy, whose eyes were a little red, Joseph couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Although the Nord Principality has a small population, there are quite a few people loyal to the Ragnar royal family.
Early in the morning, as soon as Joseph opened his eyes, he heard the news of Andy's return from the guards. Before he could get dressed, he ran to meet Andy who had been waiting in the hall for a long time. After all, for the future Nord Principality, the importance of China's occupation is very high.
The icing on the cake can never be compared to giving money in the snow. At this time, China is lacking the recognition of European countries. If Joseph can stand up and express friendship for the first time, relying on China's international status in the future, the benefits of the Principality of Nord far exceed Paying now.
After arranging for Andy to sit down, Joseph began to inquire about the specific matters of Andy in the French embassy in detail. Although Andy was a little tired, he understood what was important and explained it carefully.
"His Royal Highness, Ambassador Zhang Jianjun is a little surprised. When he comes, let me tell you that Novartis' friendship is in his heart, and he will give you a gift."
"Gift?"
"A cook, a cook who knows Chinese cuisine."
Hearing the gift, Joseph couldn't help but be stunned, but with Andy's words, he understood that it was true that the cook was a reliable contact person, but that's fine, it's always right to be cautious.
Joseph knew that he wouldn't be able to ask Andy what to do next, so he nodded and let him go down to rest. By the way, he asked the Praetorian Guard to call Nahua's ambassador to France. No matter if there was anything else, he always had to meet first.
Andy, who stood up and was about to leave, seemed to think of opening his mouth, but when he saw Joseph with a happy look on his face, the words he wanted to say were hard to hold in his heart, and he turned away with a little confusion.
Joseph saw Andy's actions and knew what he wanted to say, but Joseph didn't take the initiative to speak. First, it was unnecessary, and second, he didn't know how to explain it. At this time, Joseph began to rejoice in his identity. If Ragnar II was still there and he was not in power, he would have missed many things. After all, he could not explain why he did that.

"Good morning, Your Highness Joseph."
With big shoulders and around the waist, short stature, and thick neck, this was Joseph's first impression of Zhu Yunsheng. He deserved to be a chef. At this time, Joseph even thought that maybe the ambassador Zhang Jianjun gave him a chef.
Of course, this idea just disappeared in an instant, because an ordinary cook can't do such a standard etiquette for European civilians to meet aristocrats. It is conceivable that cooks have already done this kind of training before, although such a butcher has good manners. An urge to make people laugh.
"Your name is Zhu Yunsheng! Where is your ancestral home? My mother is from China, and I still know a little bit about it."
As a member of Xinhua News Agency, Zhu Yunsheng is still very clear about Joseph's information. The woman is from Fujian. During the Second World War, she came to the European battlefield as a nurse of the Foreign Legion and happened to be in the field hospital with Ragnar II. acquaintance. It's just that the woman looks very ordinary, and Ragnar I didn't agree with this combination at first.
However, Joseph's mother is also a very capable person. She has no lack of skill and decisiveness to conquer the old Ragnar, the old European nobleman who founded the principality of Nord in only three days.
"My princess and I are both from Shuzhong, but I don't know that His Royal Highness Joseph is used to eating spicy food. I also know some of the other eight major Chinese cuisines, but it is much worse than Sichuan cuisine."
"You are also from Shuzhong? Sure enough, I like Sichuan cuisine very much. I am looking forward to the taste of my mother's hometown."
From Zhu Yunsheng's mouth, Joseph heard a hint of other meanings. He didn't threaten, but just frankly explained that he had investigated him, or that Zhu Yunsheng wanted to express that he was not an ordinary cook.
"His Royal Highness, Sichuan cuisine pays attention to ingredients, and the ingredients are the best in the Central Shu region of China. If possible, I suggest that Your Highness can allow me to contact China to purchase ingredients."
Zhu Yunsheng's eyes were meaningful when he said these words, Joseph was stunned and quickly understood what he meant, looked at each other with a smile, and replied: "The Principality of Nord does not have an airport, but it does have a port, but the distance is longer and there are pirates in Somalia. , the danger is very high.”

Joseph said so, but the danger in his words referring to pirates or other Zhu Yunsheng is naturally very clear, he hesitated before saying: "We can do nothing in the Atlantic Ocean, but in the Indian Ocean it is not a big problem."
Joseph didn't know where Zhu Yunsheng got such confidence from this sentence, but this had nothing to do with him, everything had risks, and the only difference was the level of profit and whether it was worth it.
"The price of the long-distance will naturally increase, these are all problems!"
"Price is not a problem. Huaxia is a country of hospitality, and your highness has a distinguished status. I believe the government is willing to make you a friend."
In the obscurity, the two have already negotiated the general matter, and the next step is the matter of the specific price, but Joseph believes that with Zhu Yunsheng's words just now, he will make a lot of money this time.
Afterward, the two talked about China's affairs, and Zhu Yunsheng left with the guards. After all, he was only a cook, and Joseph was not suitable to meet him for too long. After all, no one knew whether there was any intelligence personnel from other countries here.
Not long after Zhu Yunsheng left, two officials from the Ministry of Education came to Joseph. They only had one thing to do. June was about to pass, and the freshman season was coming. They needed to ask Joseph about enrollment.
"What's your opinion?"
Joseph was just an ordinary college student in his previous life. He didn't know much about many things now, but he has an advantage, that is, he will never interfere randomly if he doesn't understand. This is already the basic quality of a manager...
"The minister means that students from some nearby towns in France are included in our enrollment, but the area of the school..."
"It's not necessary. The schools in the Principality of Nord now only recruit students from their own countries. How about the teaching staff?"
"Prime Minister Kress invited two teachers with senior titles from France, as well as eight teachers from our own country. The only trouble is that one of them participated in the Nazis..."
Nazi? Hearing these two words, Joseph couldn't help frowning. From his heart, Joseph didn't have many bad feelings for Hitler and his henchmen, he was nothing more than a defeated person, but he didn't have bad feelings. It would undoubtedly be a hassle to have citizens who had participated in the Nazis as teachers, especially when the joint conference in Paris was about to take place.
"Tell me about his specific situation."
The two officials from the Ministry of Education looked at each other and finally, the senior assistant said: "His Royal Highness, in 1965, he was arrested by the Germans and forced to work in a field hospital. From then until the end of the war, it is said that his wife... …”
"It's just being forced. Now that the faculty is lacking, there is no need to worry about so much, so let's decide!"
Hearing the previous words, Joseph had already decided to let the doctor work in the academy, so he deliberately interrupted the Ministry of Education official.
The senior assistant of the Ministry of Education was not a fool either. He had already understood something from Joseph's attitude, so he hurriedly shut up and said nothing. When Joseph finished speaking, he nodded and agreed. Waving his hands to let the two officials from the Ministry of Education leave, Joseph sat on the sofa dumbfounded and didn't know what to think.
An hour later, Joseph's order was issued from the royal palace. Citizens of the Principality of Nord, as long as they meet the age standards, will go to the school to study. Once they become students of the school, each high school student will be subsidized with 3 exchange coupons per month, and 5 for college students. From this, we can see that Joseph attached great importance to education.
Because of the national conditions of the Principality of Nord at this time, the school's disciplines are related to food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, and health. Joseph also slightly despised the educational coverage of his country. If he had understood clearly, he would not have had the idea of letting the students explore and learn on their own when he built the school.
When the file from the Ministry of Education was handed in, Joseph looked at the super high education coverage and could swallow a small porcelain bowl. Among those over the age of 30, the coverage rate for high school and college is 80%. Thirty percent...
This is not the result of the Ragnar family, but the efforts of the Germans who occupy it.

Void Breaker
Note: Sadly, this story is currently on hiatus :( Elizabeth Sayler had lost everything in the bombing of Reaver Stadium. Her career, her fame, her power — all of it vanished the moment she lost use of her legs. Now, she's beginning to lose hope of ever healing herself… until her world integrates into the Void. When the apocalypse comes in a flurry of System messages, everyone on earth is given a choice: give up what they value most in themselves, and acquire a path to their heart’s greatest desire. Most would hesitate, but for Liz? She has nothing to lose, and absolutely everything to gain. Armed with newfound powers in a world teeming with monsters, she’s determined to not only survive, but to somehow break the Void’s endless assault. * * * This is a small note about the portrayal of disability in this story. As much research as I do and as many people as I ask, I will in the end only be able to understand a small portion of paraplegia and similar disabilities. Therefore, if there is anything particularly disrespectful, please do not hesitate to contact me. I always intended to portray disability in a respectful way in this story, but please know that Liz as a character does not start out with a healthy view of disability. This is intentional, and a large part of her character development comes from this view changing as she learns. Disability is not something she simply "discards" at the beginning of the story, but an ongoing theme and a part of her journey.
