ps: Keep asking for votes and collecting, and thank you to a few brothers for their votes.

"How, this is the beginning of the Nord principality, Prime Minister Kress, I have already given you the foundation, if the economy of Nord does not improve next year, I will not spare you."

What seemed like a joke sounded a warning to Kress's ears, but he didn't care about it at this point. If there is one word to describe his inner state at this time, then it can only be described as shock, in fact, it is not only him, these officials who arrived with Joseph, who can not help but be surprised when they see the current appearance of Beicheng District, which was a chaotic and no-man's land a month ago.

The avenue connecting the central district is located right in the middle of the third and second blocks, and the clean streets are not to mention for the time being, with neat crimson seven-storey low-rent apartments, beautiful white three-storey store buildings, and two nine-story office buildings like door gods.

There was a hint of modernity that was not available in Europe at this time, and the streets were lined with benches, garbage bins, and plane trees, and these officials in the northern city could only be described in two words: beautiful.

When they learned that the beautiful low-rent apartment was free for them to live in, most of the citizens couldn't help but weep, weeping for the Nord royal family and for the Nord principality, which their ancestors had fought for nearly a hundred years.

If the system has a prestige column, then it can be seen that the prestige of the Nord citizens for the royal family has risen from familiarity to worship, but unfortunately there are very few Nord young men, otherwise it would be easy for Joseph to recruit an army.

The low-rent apartment is just a foundation, a thing that makes Joseph prestige, and Joseph's actual purpose is to activate the economy of the North City, which is very difficult, even if the North City will face a large-scale recruitment situation.

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

Now the citizens of the Principality of Nord still use the dollar, Joseph has no intention of creating his own currency, because he knows that it will not take too long for the euro to be introduced, although the Principality of Nord is a small country, as long as it finds a way to get the support of the United States, it is only a matter of time before it becomes a member of the European Union.

"Beicheng District will temporarily become the main area of the Duchy of Nord, your cabinet and various ministries can move here first, and the office building (office building) is also empty, leave one for you to use as an office space!"

Naturally, Kress and the cabinet members would not refuse such a thing, of course, at this time, they did not have the heart to refuse, and their minds were full of doubts.

Joseph ignored them and walked to the Nord Royal Bank, several guards hurrying to follow, and at this time the streets were overcrowded, and no one could guarantee that there were no people with ulterior motives in the middle.

The journey was uneventful, and there were not many people following Joseph at this time, and Kress was the only French official among them, so he ignored him, and looked at the Deputy Minister of Finance and President of the Royal Bank of Nord, and Joseph asked about the auction.

"Tip: Sell a Chinese restaurant at auction for $6,000."

The final selling price of the Chinese restaurant was $1.5000, and the reason why it was so small was because of the policy that Joseph had just announced, but citizens of the Principality of the Principality of Noord could borrow up to $20.000 from the Royal Nord Bank in the auction, for which the amount that actually went to the system was very small, and most of it was converted into bank loans.

There are many hints, most of the shops and processing factories in the northern city were auctioned off, privatization is the fastest way to improve the economy, and even Joseph did not mean to occupy a stake in it, in fact, there is no need to occupy it, after all, the entire principality belongs to Joseph.

"Your Highness, since the morning until now, the Nord Royal Bank has lent out more than $500.000, most of the shops in the first and second blocks have been sold, and the business tax is ......," said the president of the Nord Royal Bank, who is also the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, so he asked more.

Glancing at the balance of $80.000 above the virtual map, Joseph nodded to indicate that he knew, and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Let's exempt the business tax for the time being!" Banks, taxi companies, transport companies, ports, ship repair yards are up and running as quickly as possible. Kress, your cabinet has been watching this for a while! ”

Banks, taxi companies, transport companies, ports, and ship repair shops are all part of the Nord Royal Group, which Joseph had just founded, and the staff of the banks were all officials of the Ministry of Finance, so they had to be hired as soon as possible to get these companies up and running.

The Deputy Minister of Finance hurriedly agreed, and although Kress was a little distracted, he still heard Joseph's command, so he nodded his head in agreement.

For the rest of the day, Joseph stayed in the bank, looking at the crowded bank reception hall, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and prosperity began here......

That night, Joseph locked himself in his study, looking at the large open space in the buffer zone, Joseph deliberately chose an unobtrusive place to build a school integrating elementary school, middle school, high school, and university, the population of the Principality of Nord is insufficient, there is no need to build too large schools, let alone separate ones.

"Hint, the university has been established, the new energy department has been opened, and the new resource utilization and R&D project center has been activated."

Hearing the hint, Joseph hurriedly looked towards the building bar, and sure enough, the wind turbine had been displayed, but unfortunately there were no solar panels, which were the most suitable for them in the small territory of the Duchy of Nord. There is no way, now we can only popularize education as soon as possible, as long as there are more college students, then go to the laboratory to research, and it is a matter of time before solar panels are developed.

A plot of land was leveled on the mountain range, where groups of wind turbines were placed, but it was expensive to build schools and level the land, and in the end Joseph built the generator sets that were just enough to supply the power of the project area.

Joseph was going to add a hospital, after all, food, education, and health are things that a country cannot ignore, and if it is ignored, it will inevitably lead to large-scale deaths. However, Joseph didn't have enough money in his hands, so he could only set up a small clinic on the side of the apartment in the third block, and it was impossible to see a serious illness, but there was no problem in dealing with some minor illnesses, which was better than nothing!

At the moment when the clinic was completed, the school also added a new medical department, but like the new energy department, the textbooks and laboratories are complete, but there are no teachers, so students can only rely on themselves to explore and discuss.

There was a lot of commotion during the day, so no one thought it was wrong to suddenly build a school and clinic next to the apartment the next morning, and even if anyone had seen it empty, they would have thought that they had been dazzled by the mistake yesterday.

There are not many people in the Nord Principality, and most of them have settled in Beicheng City in one day, and those who have money buy apartments to live in, and those who do not have money can enjoy low-rent apartments for free.

"Hint: After the trial period of the construction system ends, the construction cost and time return to normal, the loan can be increased to $10.000.000, the loan has been $100.000, and the remaining amount is $9.900.000."

"Hint: After the trial period of the construction system is over, the currency can be freely convertible, is it bound to the bank?"

Hearing the second prompt, ecstasy flashed across Joseph's face, he did not expect that after the end of the probationary period, he would be able to freely exchange money, which meant that the real dollar could also be used to build the system.

"Bind!"

The bank built by the system has a free exchange system, so Joseph naturally chose to bind without hesitation, and at the moment of binding, Joseph's personal account of Nord Royal Bank showed a balance of -$110.000.

There is a downside to the bonding, that is, the loan function disappears, and as long as Joseph pays back the $110.000 he owes, he will have to rely on the funds in the bank to build the Duchy of Nord in the future.

Looking at the large blank space of the Central District and the South City District on the virtual map, Joseph began to look forward to the assistance of the Marshall Plan, although most of it was mechanical and physical assistance, but Joseph had already thought of a way, and the only thing he needed was a person who could definitely be trusted to go to the East.

At this time, in the 80s of the previous life of Dongfangtong, the economy had just begun to develop, but because of the blockade of the West, some machine tools and equipment with higher gold content could not be obtained at all.

Joseph's idea was very simple, first arrange for a person to quietly go to France to contact the Huaxia ambassador to France, and then wait for the American aid to arrive and secretly sell it to Huaxia, and use the money from the sale to build the Nord Duchy, so that the United States will not find out, Huaxia gets things and he gets the money, it is really a win-win situation.

However, two problems are also in front of him, the first is to arrange who is suitable in the past, and the second is how to transport to China in the future, the geographical location of the Nord Principality is not very good, and there is only one way to go to China through the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and Pacific Ocean. The Suez Canal is fine, but it is too dangerous from there to be discovered by the United States if you are not careful.
