The Duchy of Nord was very busy, especially at this time, so the family of the Count of Singla did not stay in Nord for too long, and returned to Spain by boat on the third day after Christmas.

During the period when Count Singhella stayed in the Duchy of Nord, Joseph did not say much to Sharma and Agata in the Duchy of Nord, mainly because the three of them had different mental ages and had a generation gap in communication.

What Joseph could not have imagined was that it was because of his uncommon and uninterested attitude that Sharma was very bored with him, and at the same time there was a little curiosity in his heart, wondering why this boy about her age did not want to play with her, and wondering what he was busy with every day.

Of course, there is also the fact that some of the words of Count Singhella were heard by her, and those Duke's watches and beautiful clothes that she admired belonged to Joseph, and her Christmas gift was a Duke's lady's watch, which made Joseph deeply impressed in her heart. Although she had never called her uncle, in Sharma's heart, she undoubtedly recognized this uncle.

After Christmas represents the end of 1980, summing up the achievements of more than half a year, Joseph himself is very satisfied, at least the current Nord citizens do not worry about eating, drinking, housing and transportation, and even have spare money to invest and buy entertainment items.

Huaxia's advance had already arrived, and the treasury of the Duchy of Nord was the first time that the treasury of the Duchy of Nord had been so full, and the funds of $76 million were enough for Joseph's agricultural plan.

On the virtual map, the territory of the Duchy of Nord includes more than 20 square kilometers on the mainland and a small island of two square kilometers off the coast, which was purchased from France and will be home to the nuclear power plant in the future.

If you want to fill an island, you can't create it out of thin air, and relying on that small island is naturally the best, but in this way, won't the nuclear power plant radiate the farmers on the island in the future?

After much hesitation, Joseph decided to expand the island, the nuclear power plant plan was simply impossible in a few years, and perhaps at that time the Nord Working Scientific Research Center had already achieved new results, and there was no need to look forward and backward now.

Thinking of it is Joseph's habit to lock the area Joseph directly determined to transform the land, but at this time a surprise was placed in front of him, because the surprise was too big, Joseph couldn't help but be stunned in place.

"Hint: Whether the host improves the land, the options for improving the land are: resource land, agricultural land, earthquake-proof industrial land, forest land, ......"

The rest of Joseph didn't care, what really shocked him was the improvement of resource land, what does this mean? It means that even if Joseph only has a land area of more than 20 square kilometers, he can still build this place into a rich country like Dubai and the United Arab Emirates.

Of course, this thought flashed through Joseph's mind, and Joseph knew very well what the treatment of the Middle East countries was, although the United States did not dare to treat the Nord Principality like this, but such a situation could not be guarded against.

Although it is not possible to improve the land on a large scale, there is no problem in adding two oil wells to the island, and the price of oil is now getting higher and higher, which is a fortune that no one can ignore.

The cost of improving the resource land is naturally not small, but it is negligible compared to the benefits they bring to Joseph, even if the price of the improvement is millions of dollars per square kilometer.

At this time, the Duchy of Nord was financially rich, and Joseph was naturally happy to spend it, and directly threw down 10 million US dollars to increase the island to 11 square kilometers, not that Joseph did not want to increase it, the five-fold increase of the island was already somewhat conspicuous, and if it continued to increase, Joseph was afraid of causing trouble.

In fact, Joseph had been on guard against similar things before, and deliberately chose a more remote place when buying the island, but Joseph was still worried, if he increased the area of the mainland, it would naturally be easy to be discovered, but the island, especially such a desert island, would not be noticed even if it was larger.

At this time, the eleven square kilometers of the island are equivalent to more than 2,700 acres, and Joseph's plan for this place is mainly agriculture, so naturally there will be no urban construction, a few apartments and supermarkets are all their buildings, and the rest of the land is all agricultural and pastoral areas except for the two oil well areas.

Farming and pastoral land occupies about 2,000 acres, of which 500 acres are cattle and sheep pastures, and the rest is all grown with grain, according to the current rice production, one acre is at least 1,500 kilograms (1.5 tons) of rice, 1,500 acres is enough to meet the population of the Nord Principality at this time, and there is even a surplus.

This is just ordinary grain farming, Joseph's genetic farm is naturally more delicious and productive than ordinary planting, which will allow Joseph to have enough free space to grow some vegetables, fruit trees and other grains.

The land could be completed in an instant, but it took time for the genetic farms and ranches, each of which covered about ten acres, and the workers of the construction company were ordered to hurry to the Nord Royal Island by boat.

Nord Royal Island is the name that Joseph gave it, although it is a bit vulgar, but Joseph, who is too lazy to name it, does not care about this, he does not care that other people even think that this name is very good.

The Royal Island of Nord is not very far from the mainland, only a 10-minute boat ride, so James came to the door......

"Your Highness, there are a lot of fishermen in Nord, they fish for a living all year round, and the newly arrived workers from Eastern Europe and China seem to be proficient in fishing, are we going to set up an aquatic company?"

"That's a matter for the Ministry of Commerce, you can just watch it."

"......"

Of course, James knew that there was no need to trouble Joseph for such a trivial matter, but there was no way for the Ministry of Commerce to come up with something extraordinary like Joseph! The Audi assembly workshop and the pharmaceutical group workshop, the equipment there are all things that are more than ten years ahead of the times, and the purpose of James looking for Joseph is here.

"In the future, just contact the construction company for such a thing, and someone will bring the equipment at that time."

Joseph was busy with the oil well, and he didn't have time to pay attention to James, not to mention that Joseph was telling the truth, he had already authorized the construction company, and as soon as the workshop construction was completed, there would naturally be cargo ships with equipment docked in the port.

Originally, James still had a little guess in his heart, but today's Joseph's words made James more and more confused, could it be that Ragnar I also has a research center overseas, and these things are all products there? The alien talk is pure nothing, everything is too much to think about?

James is not the only one who is speculating like this, but the United States also thinks so, and even more so, they wonder if there are traces of the Germans behind it, after all, there were so many top German scientists in World War II, and now most of them have disappeared, and there is no trace at all.

Originally, they thought that those scientific research centers were buried in the ground and died in the war, but now that the Duchy of Nord has been born, they can't help but have some associations. Unbeknownst to anyone, some of the Germans who had broken away early had already arrived in the Duchy of Nord and were ready to make quiet contact with Joseph, and it was evident that they were also suspicious of this.

There is no definition of whether this matter is good or bad, it is normal to say that it is good, and it is normal to say that Joseph is targeted by many people, including some ancient European families and forces.

Again, Joseph didn't bother with these things, and the oil storage land he improved had already yielded results, although it was not 100 million tons, but it was also a large oil field of 10 million tons, and because of the Middle East, the price of oil had increased from $16 to $35 at this time. The combined reserves of the two wells are about 30 million tons, worth more than a billion dollars.

As soon as the results came out, Joseph quickly handed over the results to the Ministry of Commerce, and the Minister of Commerce, Smith, hurriedly summoned his subordinates to prepare for the mining, and the French also knew about it, so the French president severely reprimanded the person in charge of the island that sold to the Duchy of Nord, and dismissed him from office.

In this situation, January 1981 has quietly passed, and the Nord Royal Island has begun its era of great construction, and at the same time the faces of the Nord citizens are full of smiles.
