Chapter 203: The Nord Royal Family
As the saying goes, when people are unlucky, they have a toothache when they drink cold water, and now Joseph is like this, and the matter of online remarks has not been resolved, and news about Kate's actor and several nightclubs of the opposite sex who did not return for the night is flying all over the world. ⊥,
Touch~
A celadon teacup of two thousand euros was thrown to the ground, but this still could not offset the anger in Joseph's heart, if he didn't care about one thing alone, but now that two things were put in front of him, he could no longer remain calm and sit idly by.
"Your Majesty, the relevant personnel have been arrested, and now ......"
"Who's concerned, who's involved!"
Looking at Joseph's slightly angry gaze, the Minister of Justice Morris couldn't help but raise his head, he naturally knew that what Joseph wanted to arrest most was the reporter who was taking pictures downstairs in the apartment, but ...... It's a pity.
"It's the film and television star and her three friends of the opposite sex, and the various media involved are also ......"
"Does Nord have a law that doesn't allow unmarried women to go with three members of the opposite sex overnight?"
"No, no."
"The media is not free of speech?"
"This ......"
The media in the Duchy of Nord is still quite free, provided that it does not involve the royal family, and now it ...... Morris really didn't know how to answer that question.
"The pressure to capture film and television stars is not it!"
Seeing Joseph's face better, Morris breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "The main pressure comes from the citizens, who feel ...... It's not fair. ”
Now Joseph's least favorite thing is the word unfairness, it hangs in front of Joseph's eyes all the time, this is not a simple incident to discredit the Nord royal family, it is a difficult problem, a problem that Joseph needs to face sooner or later.
The Nord royal family remains privileged, then such things like this will never stop, maybe a month or two months, all in all, there will still be more. It will also appear frequently.
Waiver of privileges? How could Joseph do such a thing? As long as you take a step back, then you will go back step by step with the passage of time, and once you reach ...... The day when there is no road.
silent
Morris didn't dare to speak, Joseph closed his mind, and both of them were waiting for Smith's return, and no matter how much they wanted, they had to settle the current matter first.
Two hours and thirteen minutes had passed since the incident, Smith came in a hurry, the news he brought back was not too good, the network had been successfully blocked, and related things would not appear on it. But this is only temporary, and it can't be blocked!
As I have seen before, there are not many citizens on the network now, and the number of 300,000 hits is almost equivalent to the whole people knowing, and the blockade is ...... Not very useful.
But this is already the only thing Smith can do, he is only acting prime minister and not God, and there are many things he can do.
"Your Majesty's explanation affirms, what should we do?"
Both things have an impact on the international reputation of the Nord royal family, but nothing else. But this is just an introduction, I am afraid that sooner or later there will be an outbreak.
"Externally, all the territory of Nord belongs to the royal family, and the territory of Nord is the territory of the Ragnar family. All citizens of the Nord are subjects of the Ragnar family, and the Ragnar family enjoys all privileges in the territory of the Nord. Meantime...... Twenty percent of the state-owned shares are lent to the Cabinet, citizens receive one euro a year in the royal tax, and ninety percent of the State is temporarily reduced in Western Sahara. ”
It's not a proportional tax, a twenty head tax. However, according to the current situation of Nord, one euro is not a lot, and a family of three and four is only three or four euros a year.
None of the native Nord residents are very active in giving birth. Generally, there are only two to three children, and if you count the elderly in the family, it is only seven or eight euros a year.
Nord will retire if he is over 50 years old, and the average retired citizen will have a retirement salary of five or six euros, and the royal poll tax of one euro is not a problem at all for families with an annual salary of more than 6,000 euros. With an annual salary of more than 6,000 euros, this is almost the lowest income among the Nord residents.
Lonely old man? They have social welfare institutions, and their pensions are completely useless, so the poll tax is also fully able to pay for the young children...... Under the age of five, they will be paid according to the Western Saharan standard, and if they are without parents, adoptive and without a family, they will also be put on hold according to the Western Saharan standard and repaid after they have worked as adults.
The salary in the Principality of Nord also increased over time, 1,000 euros for 10 years of service, 1,100 euros for 11 years, and almost 1 euro (before tax) for each year of growth.
Joseph's words made Smith and Morris visibly stunned in place, what is Joseph's statement? Isn't this adding fuel to the fire?
If the former only gives some mental pressure, then the latter is the real pressure, paying the royal tax according to the poll tax every year, which is ......
Smith wanted something, but he didn't say anything in the end, because he didn't know how to dissuade him, and he understood that this was Joseph's statement, and the state was very simple, the Duchy of Nord was the inherent territory of the Ragnar family, and if he could, he could not even call it a country.
The citizens of the Duchy of Nord should not treat the land as citizens of a country, but the subjects of the Nord, and their allegiance is not to this country but to the Ragnar family.
You can be unpatriotic in Nord, but you can't provoke the Ragnar royal family, because that will be the most cruel punishment, and at the same time you can be deported at any time, without reason and without a reason to expel you.
Smith ordered the newspapers of the Nord Royal Media Group to publicize the news in accordance with the truth, and there was an uproar for a while.
……
Nord is not a country, but a private territory, so should we all be in the same territory for international visits? -- A certain US politician criticized him in a very angry public forum
The advent of the poll tax allows us to see a familiar world, a world full of ignorance and darkness. -- The angry appeal of a well-known liberal human rights activist in the world.
Nord needs human rights, Western Sahara needs to stand up, let's overthrow the tyrants, let's bring down anyone who oppresses us! - Declaration of an international organization
Is Nord the territory of the Ragnar family? That's right! We are living in the land of His Majesty the Grand Duke, who is a nobleman and deserves privileges, but ...... Poll tax is a bit expensive! -- A native of Nord
Archduke Joseph has given us a new life and a new place to live, and Western Sahara belongs to Nord, to the Ragnar family, to His Majesty the Grand Duke, a citizen of the town of Western Sahara
Long live His Majesty Joseph Ragnar! -- The fanatical cry of ninety of the Nord youth
We will defend all the rights of His Majesty with the weapons in our hands, and we have nothing to fear. - Nord military
We don't know what the poll tax is and we don't care whose territory it is, but I do know that last year my annual salary was suddenly 4,000 euros. -- A Chinese American replied cheerfully
Without the Grand Duke of Nord, there would be no Principality of Nord today, and without the Principality of Nord, the Principality of Nord would still be just a manor country with a population of less than 2,000 and a territory of only a few tens of square meters. -- Prime Minister James of the Nord
We owe allegiance to His Majesty the Grand Duke, and we must owe allegiance to His Majesty, because we are the administrators of His Majesty, the Minister of the Interior, Acting Prime Minister
The Duchy of Nord is His Majesty the Grand Duke, but His Majesty the Grand Duke is not the Duchy of Nord - Rupert, Minister of Education of the Nord
Nord is almost two completely different voices at home and abroad, but these are nothing to Joseph, he is happy and happy, as long as the domestic citizens recognize, then what else does he need to care?
There is no eternal hostility and no eternal friendship between nations, their views ...... Important?
Can...... Although none of this was important, there was one important thing in front of him that made Joseph very difficult, that is, his bad relations with other countries, international orders fell again and again, and many even canceled trade.
"We don't have a guarantee, we can only try our best to sell domestically this year."
Smith, who said this, was full of bitterness, because it meant that Nord's economy would plummet, after all, the biggest source of economy was international trade, and now ......
Joseph was not as pessimistic as him, stood up and patted the incoming Nord Prime Minister on the shoulder: "We still have Western Sahara, reduce exports, then we will go all out to run Western Sahara and strive to make Western Sahara rich." ”
To put it simply, the reduction in international trade is huge, firstly, there is no need for so many workers without orders, and secondly, ...... Without orders, there will be no large revenues, and the earnings are not guaranteed, how to support the development of Western Sahara?
In fact, things are not so crisis, but it is just a period of time, the rich agree with Nord's luxury Audi Rolls-Royce, many countries need oil, timber and other resources from the Nord principality, as long as they can carry it for a while, then they can only compromise in the end, after all, it is not only the Nord principality that cancels the order and is unlucky.
Even...... Nord's country-to-country orders are not many, most of them are the enterprises themselves, enterprises are money-making institutions, even if they are temporarily affected by the government to cancel orders, but then they not only have to compromise, but also pay a considerable amount of wealth compensation, now it is up to us who compromises first.
Joseph knew that he must not be compromised, and he was ready to start his new project, focusing on agriculture, and in a year people might see a different kind of Nord principality.
The vegetables and wheat crops in the Principality of Nord are very popular, and the taste is also very good for the body, and the popularity of milk is a typical example. However, NORD's milk has never been established in various countries, breeding, milking, packaging, and one-stop service all come from the Nord Principality, the main reason is that its real core is organic pastures, and the products of the system cannot be transferred abroad.
Even if a country wants to bring in dairy cows, they will bring them home and find that the cows they raise are not as delicious, healthy and nutritious as Nord. (To be continued......)
