PS: Thanks to Mr. Andy for voting, this should be what Andy meant! A little character gift, I hope you are satisfied. In addition, I hope that the brothers who support this book and vote will leave their names (preferably the names of the characters) in the book review area, and the only thing I can do is to leave your traces in the book and encourage you!

On June 8, Andy, who was on Joseph's mission, came to Paris and came to the Chinese Embassy in France early the next morning to ask to meet with Ambassador Zhang Jianjun.

Zhang Jianjun, the Chinese ambassador to France who got the news, was a little puzzled, he was not unclear about the country of Nord, for some people in China, it is normal for such a small country not to know, but as Zhang Jianjun who has lived in France for more than 20 years, the relationship between Nord and France makes it impossible for him not to know a little about this country, not to mention that the Principality of Nord has recently been controversial in the international community because of the European revival plan.

Of course, not being able to guess the meaning of Andy's arrival did not affect his meeting with Andy, at this time, under the hint of the United States, the Western countries are implementing a blockade on the East, especially China, in all aspects, whether it is international influence or purely political, China cannot ignore any Western country that may have a good impression of China, even if this country is only a small country with a population of only a few thousand people and a territory of only 100 kilometers.

China is a big country, no one can dispute this, even if it is a somewhat barbaric and backward country in the eyes of European and American citizens, but if there is no trace of threat, the United States and Western countries are so nervous and so afraid of the rise of that ancient country?

Therefore, in any respect, Zhang Jianjun, as China's ambassador to France, far surpasses Andy and even Joseph himself in terms of identity, status, and influence. But under such circumstances, Zhang Jianjun still maintained the humility and friendliness of the Chinese tradition, and warmly received Andy, a young man who did not even have an official position.

"You're Foreign Minister James' son?"

When he learned the news, Zhang Jianjun valued Andy again, at this time James was not the foreign minister of the Duchy of Nord who had just arrived in the United States, and the public opinion of the media had made Joseph and James world-famous, citizens of all countries in the world may not know the prime minister of the Duchy of Nord, but I believe that no one does not know the name Jeffes.

"Yes, Mr. Ambassador, this is the letter that His Highness asked me to hand over to you."

Andy did not show pride and happiness because of this sentence, but still plain with a trace of respect, handed over the letter written by Joseph to Zhang Jianjun and took a sip of the teacup. Yes, the faint bitterness is mixed with the fragrance, this should be the Luzhou clouds and mist that His Highness said!

Zhang Jianjun didn't have the heart to know Andy's thoughts, and he didn't shy away from opening Joseph's letter, and in just a few lines, Zhang Jianjun, who was known for his calmness, could no longer maintain his previous calm.

"Distinguished Mr. Ambassador, if I am willing to sell a batch of industrial equipment, I wonder if your country is willing to buy it at a fifty percent increase in the international price?"

Joseph is not a saint, he does have some special feelings for that ancient country, but this feeling does not affect his identity as the ruler of the Principality of Nord at this time, not to mention, selling this batch of precision equipment to Huaxia is also quite risky for the Principality of Nord and even himself, fifty percent is not much.

Zhang Jianjun was naturally aware of the American European revival plan, and he could guess that the machinery in Joseph's mouth was part of this aid. Of course, he didn't know that Joseph wanted to sell him all of what he wanted to sell him, not part of what he had guessed.

What is most lacking in the country, as a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he naturally knows very well, after all, many times it is also one of his responsibilities to help the country get these things back, and now the opportunity is in front of him, Zhang Jianjun has no reason to remain calm.

"Andy, this ......"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ambassador, this is a letter from His Highness to you, only you and he know the contents, if you have anything to tell Your Highness, please write it on a piece of paper and I will pass it on to His Highness Joseph."

Slightly stunned, Zhang Jianjun soon understood Joseph's caution, nodded and thought in his heart: It's okay this way, if the United States finds that the biggest loss is not the Nord Principality, but itself.

"I only have one sentence, please Andy to tell His Royal Highness Joseph, I keep Novartis' friendship in my heart, and I heard that His Royal Highness Joseph has Chinese blood and likes food, I have a chef here who can be lent to His Highness temporarily."

Andy naturally understood what the chef was, but he didn't refuse, so it was best that he came to the embassy frequently in the province and was discovered by some people with ulterior motives. In fact, Andy refused to make contact with China from the beginning, and he did not know the contents of the letter, but as a member of the European countries and maintained good relations with the United States, the Nord Principality itself should not have contact with China.

Having a good relationship with the United States was guessed by the assistance of the Recovery Program, and I am sure Andy would not have thought that way again if he had known the specifics. Of course, even if he believed that, he would still reject contact with Huaxia, after all, the Duchy of Nord was still in Europe, after all, he did not know the position that Huaxia would occupy in the world twenty years later.

After expressing his gratitude, Andy said goodbye and left, looking at his back, Zhang Jianjun couldn't help but ponder, and at the same time ordered to go down and start a deeper understanding of the Nord Duchy.

Joseph naturally didn't know about the affairs of France, he was busy with government affairs for a while, he rarely watched the North City District, some media close to the country have arrived, and the beautiful garden-like town made this group of media personnel keep praising it, the only drawback may be that there are too few entertainment items.

There are fruit trees on both sides of the street, and the intoxicating smell of flowers permeates the city with the arrival of summer, and Joseph has issued an order that passers-by should not destroy trees at will, and violators will be fined $50 to $200, depending on the situation.

There is often a bench on one side of the fruit tree, which passers-by can pick if they are thirsty or resting, but the Nord Principality does not allow waste, and once it is picked, it must be eaten up, otherwise it will face a fine.

While Joseph worked hard to build the Duchy of Nord and strengthen the citizens of Nord, he did not forget to focus on the moral aspect, Joseph could allow petty theft in his country, but not the presence of morally corrupt people. Unfortunately, it was not yet time, otherwise a treaty and a decree and law that had been planned for a long time would be presented to the citizens of Nord.

The large war reparations not only raised the lives of the Nord citizens to a higher level, although most of the French gave money in kind rather than money, but even then Joseph was satisfied.

Originally, Ragnar II left behind only enough for the citizens of Nord to live for two years, but with the arrival of a large number of physical objects in France, Joseph could not even invest a penny at this time to let the citizens of Nord live for seven or eight years, but Joseph was not prepared to make his citizen life so urgent.

Every week, a Nord citizen can receive 10 vouchers, 2 kilograms of beef, 1 kilogram of pork, and a number of flour, each worth $5, which can be used to buy clothes and daily necessities at the store.

At this time, the second block (commercial street) was not only the few shops that Joseph had built with the system, but also a small supermarket was quietly established one night, because of the vouchers, the supermarket was temporarily owned by the Nord Royal Group.

Never underestimate the ability of human beings to create the economy, there are now more than 20 shops of all sizes in the second block, except for the small supermarkets, all of which are opened by Nord citizens, but due to the national conditions and the shortage of materials, most of these shops are very simple.

The stores in the second block have all been sold, and Joseph is sitting on a bench on the side of the shopping street, and he sees not only the shops, but also the development of the Nord economy, but it is still a small opportunity for real development.

Of course, Joseph believed that this opportunity would soon come, because James had already heard that he was already on his way home, that the United Parliament in Paris was about to begin, and that the European economy was about to usher in rapid development......
