ps: This one is owed when it was on the front page of the new book, and I'm sorry for dragging it to this day. Counting the two two shifts in June, a total of three watches are owed, and they will all be paid off in these days! Thank you for your support!

"The first Lord of the Duchy of Nord did not surprise everyone - the current Prime Minister of the Duchy of Nord, Mr. James Anconla." -- The Royal Weekly

"Prime Minister James deserves to be the first Lord of the Duchy of Nord." - Nord Royal Daily

"Does the appearance of the Royal Lord of Nord mean that in the future, the Duchy of Nord will embark on the traditional path of monarchy?" -- The New York Daily News

"If we could, maybe it would be in our interest for Prime Minister James to be called President James." -- Journal de Paris

"James Princes, Prime Minister of the Cabinet of the Principality of Nord, has been canonized Lord by the Grand Convention of Nord!" -- Xinhua News Agency

Countries reacted differently to James receiving the title of Lord, but they had one thing in common, that is, they were just talking, whether they resisted or faced it indifferently, there was no specific action in each country.

Joseph didn't bother to pay attention to these things, the New Year is coming, he is discussing the gala with the director of Nord Royal Television, although the proportion of Chinese in the Nord Principality is gradually decreasing, but the Spring Festival is a Chinese festival brought to the Nord Principality, unless it is impossible to do anything, otherwise Joseph will meet the traditional culture of the Nord descendants.

For example, at Christmas, Joseph allowed the cabinet to organize traditional events of all races, including some very dangerous gatherings, sword and cold weapon war dances.

The law of the Duchy of Nord came first, but if more than ten people wanted to gather together, they had to go through the permission of the police station. Of course, if the time is not long, the filing can be exempted, but once it is found that the gathering time is too long and the filing is not recorded, then the police department has the power to arrest and investigate.

In such a situation, even if there is no illegal intention, part of the fine will still be deducted, and the circumstances are serious and even public security detention will be made, and the security detention place in the Nord Principality is not a good place.

"Your Highness, we don't have much experience in organizing such a show......

"You can contact Huaxia, I believe they are very willing to cooperate with us, and this is also an opportunity to deepen cooperation with Huaxia."

A deep look at the new director of Nord Royal Television, although he had not dealt with Joseph, but this glance made the director instantly understand what he meant, and nodded to indicate that he knew what to do.

As 1983 drew to a close, Joseph, as Grand Duke of Nord, had to inspect all government units, and Nord Royal Television was only the first stop, followed by several important departments such as education, health, and the Royal Bank.

The GDP of the Principality of Nord did not grow much in 1983, but it increased by about 6 billion euros compared to last year, and the annual GDP was close to 40 billion euros.

In fact, such an economy is unimaginable to some territorial powers in South America and Africa, but for Joseph, such a growth rate is far from satisfying him, there are Hong Kong and Singapore in the east, and what Joseph wants to do is to make the Duchy of Nord become Hong Kong and Singapore in the West.

The economy of the Duchy of Nord should not have grown so slowly, but it was mainly a legacy of the euro system, and some intangible gains were evaporated when the dollar was converted into the euro, which was the case in other countries, so Joseph did not pay too much attention to it.

Nord Royal Heavy Industries' earnings this year also decreased slightly, mainly because Audi experienced a little Waterloo, as the main core enterprise of Nord Royal Heavy Industries, his losses directly drove Nord Royal Heavy Industries' shares to begin to fall, but fortunately, the decline was not high, everything is still under control.

The matter of Nord Royal Heavy Industries also made Joseph not the richest man in Europe, in fact, Joseph didn't care much about these false names, just a little lost.

Joseph had already given an order to Abner's butler that starting next year (1984), the Nord royal family would start selling off all but the shares of Nord Royal Heavy Industries and Royal Bank. Of course, the main target of the sale is the government, and a small number of them will be sold to individuals.

Why did Joseph have such an action? With the five-year tax holiday just around the corner and the start of royal taxes, it's not appropriate to hold too many shares in your hands at this time. Of course, this is actually a matter of left hand to right hand, what is the difference between these shares being returned to the government and being in Joseph's hands?

Nord also needed to build, and it was convenient for him to take money from the treasury, but it was not appropriate for the treasury to take money from Joseph's hands, so it was also in line with the conditions of the Principality of Nord to increase the revenue of the treasury.

Nord Cabinet Chamber

"Nord's main income this year is Royal Heavy Industries, but compared with last year, Royal Heavy Industries has once again accounted for a smaller proportion, accounting for only 28 percent. In second place is tourism, but now several royal islands have not been fully developed, and it is believed that after several islands are fully opened, Nord's tourism industry will usher in a peak period. ”

James seems to be reporting to the cabinet members, but in fact, it is self-evident who he is mainly reporting to, and the financial wealth of the Principality of Nord in 1983 was 7 billion euros, which is quite a terrifying figure.

Because it was about the direction of economic construction in 1984, Prime Minister James had to pay attention to Joseph's face at all times, hoping to see something from it.

"How's the progress of the Nova United Forest Park now?"

"The funds are all in place, but they occupy a larger area, and it is not expected to be completed until 1988. However, it is now possible to open up some places appropriately, mainly on the periphery. ”

Joseph understood James's words very well, since he said so, then he would definitely be able to ensure the safety of tourists in the periphery, and if there was no security problem, then there would be no other problems, so Joseph nodded without hesitation and agreed to James's proposal.

"Next year's main scientific research direction will be on aviation and satellites, and the development of overseas islands will be placed in second place, Nord's economy has stabilized, and now what you have to do is try not to make mistakes in the economic market."

This was the closing remark of Joseph's departure, and the final decision of the meeting, which set out the main tasks of the Cabinet Government in 1984.

"Your Highness, the first generation of Apple computers has been completed, but we are still a little hesitant about the operating system."

Shortly after Joseph's departure, Smith, the Secretary of the Interior, caught up, and although Joseph was a little strange, it was not Rupert but Smith who came over, but he did not ask about the matter but about the computer system.

"Is there a problem with the system?"

"At present, the mainstream of personal computers is BEOS system, and although our Windows technology is mature, it still lacks a certain popularity compared to BEOS system......"

"Just use Windows, maybe it can bring us miraculous sales!"

Joseph smiled mysteriously, although Smith wondered why Joseph was so confident, but the contact over the past few years had made him trust Joseph very much, so he didn't say anything more and agreed directly.

At this time, the system research laboratory of NORD large LAN and personal computer research center was divided into two systems, one was Windows used by PCs, and the other was the iPhone system on mobile phones.

Of course, in the era of Big Brother, the iPhone system is still being postponed indefinitely, and now there is just a studio shelf.
