Chapter XXII: The Law of Nord
"Nord's Law: robbery, stealing, crowd fighting, harassment of women...... No mercy! ”
"Nord's Law: Corruption and Illegal Misappropriation of Funds by Officials...... No mercy! ”
"Nord's Law: Citizens of Danord are entitled to a full body examination once a year!"
"Nord Law: Nord citizens must attend school at least seven years of age, and the parents of those who disobey must be detained for ten days and fined $3.000."
"Nord Law: A Nord citizen receives $500 for every son born."
"Nord's Law: Families with an annual income of less than $1,000 and a population of more than 4 can receive an annual government subsidy, the amount of which depends on the actual situation."
……
After the reshuffle of the cabinet, a series of laws were promulgated, especially the judiciary, and it can be said that after the promulgation, there will be only two types of laws in the Duchy of Nord, namely, public security detention and the death penalty.
What should we do if there is an unjust case under such a strict law? If the population of Nord exceeded 100,000 at this time, then Joseph naturally did not dare to do this, but now the overall population of Nord is not more than 10,000, and if there is still an unjust case in this case, then Joseph can remove the entire cabinet member.
Joseph's purpose is not to make Nord not commit crimes, his real purpose is to cultivate Nord's moral system, and he dare not say that he will not close his door at night, but it can be regarded as a good moral foundation for future immigrants, so that Nord's crime rate will reach the lowest in the world.
As for the next few laws, it is still the same old rule, suppression is suppression, but candy also needs to be sufficient, otherwise the citizens of Nord will really gather to march against Joseph's tyranny.
For these upcoming laws, especially the first two, Joseft allowed the Nord Police Department to recruit a squadron of sixty SWAT officers, with the aim of strengthening the law and order in the Nord Principality and responding to possible riots.
In fact, Joseph was a little worried, the loyalty of the old Nord citizens was beyond Joseph's imagination, especially he also gave enough benefits, medical security and living allowances made the Nord citizens not only not reduce their support for the Ragnar family because of the strict laws, but even increased by one point, and there were praises for Joseph everywhere.
Immigrant? The German workers had the audacity to speak, and now they were a pack of lost dogs; Eastern European workers? Compared to the Great Purge of the Soviet Union, the Nord Principality is already a paradise; Chinese workers? If there is a nation in the world that is most adapted to the environment and has the strongest resistance to pressure, it is undoubtedly the Chinese ......
Of course, the most important thing is that Joseph gave them a good life before imposing such strict laws, who would not want to live in a safe country? Therefore, these workers, who are not yet citizens of Nord, have no desire to leave, and even prefer to stay here.
Such a situation was obviously something that Joseph did not expect, and when Joanna whispered about the words he heard on the street, Joseph was even a little demented. During this period of time, Joanna was no longer too afraid of Joseph, and naturally she didn't dare to say jokes, and the housekeeper Abner did not allow her to be so presumptuous.
Compared with Joanna's other maid, the fate is much worse, although she is now the first maid of the palace, but compared to Joanna's personal maid, it is conceivable which is more important.
"So, the streets are full of praise for me now?"
"Yes! Everywhere are words of praise for Your Highness! ”
Joanna was still a little girl after all, and she looked at Joseph with a look of adoration as she spoke, and she was a little embarrassed to face Joseph, who was indifferent to the presidents of all countries.
The heavens obviously did not give Joseph a chance to increase his relationship with the maid, and just as he was about to talk about something in life, a guard hurriedly walked in and reported: "Your Highness, Prime Minister James wants to see you. ”
The guard's anxiety made Joseph dare not slack off, nodded and motioned for James to come in, and glanced at Joanna, Joanna turned away with a very knowledgeable salute.
"Your Highness, American aid has arrived at the port, what should we do next?"
I thought it was a bad thing, but who knew that James, who hurriedly entered the door, brought such news, and Joseph, who was excited for a while, almost stood up and clapped his hands.
"Go according to the plan you made before! Let Smith come over. ”
Smith: A member of the Nord Cabinet and Minister of Commerce, Smith's father was a personal guard of Ragnar I and was an absolute loyalist of the Ragnar family.
As he was talking to James, Joseph pressed the button on the side of the table, and a bell rang, and two guards walked in, told them to call Smith, and then waved at James to do something.
"Television: $50.000, signal range 100 km, fifteen days."
After James left, Joseph couldn't help but nod when he looked at the details of the TV station, fifteen days were acceptable, glanced at Abner who entered the door and said, "Call the construction company and tell the TV station project to start." ”
Abner left in a hurry without saying a word, looking at the somewhat old back Joseph couldn't help but sigh, there are still too few people available at home! In Joseph's emotion, Smith soon came to the palace, after all, it was Joseph who summoned him and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
"The affairs of the TV station should be operated as soon as possible, and the national call should also be completed as soon as possible, and the propaganda department has been canceled, and your commercial department must assume responsibility."
Secretary of Commerce Smith didn't dare to complain, so he could only keep nodding his head and keep taking Joseph's words to heart, while planning for the TV station and the national call.
The Ministry of Propaganda was originally one of the eight Cabinet Ministries, but after considering James's proposal to merge the Ministry of Commerce into the Ministry of Commerce, after all, it was far more convenient for the media and communications industry to operate as a company than a state unit, and Joseph agreed to James's proposal, which is why Smith is here today.
Among the first devices that the United States arrived was communications, so Joseph seized the time to start the television project, the purpose of which was to show the United States that we have used your assistance and that the affairs of China have nothing to do with us.
"Your Highness, Audi AG will hold a press conference in seven days, you ......"
At this time, it was already December, and the launch of Audi's new car was imminent, and Smith said this at this time, firstly, to ask Joseph if he wanted to go by then, and secondly, to show that he was not idle, and there were really a lot of things in his hands.
Joseph also understood what Smith meant, and he also felt that he was indeed a little excessive, and so many things were pressed on Smith's head. However, it is impossible to let him take back his decision, after all, he is the ruler of Nord, and there is absolutely no reason to take back what he said. Smith also knew that the purpose of his opening was actually to let Joseph see his hard work, nothing more.
"I have guests coming on Christmas Day, and the press conference will be held by your commercial department!"
It is not that there is no need to shirk, Joseph really had something to do that day, his cousin, Count Singara, would bring his wife, daughter, and brother-in-law to Nord to accompany Joseph for Christmas.
Smith didn't ask too much, and left when he got the result, Joseph himself was actually a little strange, so many years Singhella didn't contact him, but at this time he suddenly ran so diligently, and even wanted to spend Christmas with him, shaking his head Joseph was really a little puzzled.
When Joseph was puzzled, Singara, who was far away in Spain, was also explaining to his daughter the reason for going to Nord, and the little one's twitter made Count Singhella really irritated.
"Father, are we really going to the Duchy of Nord?"
"Yes, baby!"
"And father, Joseph is really my uncle? I've heard he's a year younger than me! ”
"Sharma, you should know that many times you can't tell the story of age by age, such as your Uncle Agata who is only a few years older than you."
"Hmph, he's not my uncle!"
