Chapter 36 The Nord Education System
ps: Today's birthday, plus there is a level 3 B exam in the afternoon, maybe there will be two more, sorry brothers!
Morocco and his party still have a harvest for the Nord principality, Foreign Minister Schumann signed a $20 million trade-off, including clothing, clocks, Audi, food, of course, some of the materials imported from France to Morocco, the friendship between the two countries officially began from the moment the agreement was signed.
Hassan II's family affairs also brought benefits to Joseph, at least the marriage he feared most at the beginning did not happen, Aziz had a little temptation, Joseph showed ignorance of the word wife made Aziz annoyed with a trace of suspicion, although it is normal for a nine-year-old child not to know what the princess represents, but Joseph has always been very mature, making people wonder if he really does not understand the meaning.
Back in the Duchy of Nord, life has returned to normal, and the power has been assigned to the cabinet, and on the whole Joseph is still relaxed, because unless it is something important, the cabinet will handle it on its own, and there is nothing uneasy about having a parliament to supervise Joseph.
At the beginning of April 1981, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet of the Principality of Norway, James Princes, travelled to Paris as a member of the European Coal and Steel Community and attended the meeting, which obviously brought great benefits to the Principality of Norway.
What is the core of the European Coal and Steel Community? The flow of coal and steel between the member countries would be immediately exempt from all tariffs, and all coal and steel production in France and Germany would be subject to the control of a high-level association in which all other European countries could participate. The lack of coal resources in the Principality of Nord is destined to make it a major importer of coal, and the exemption of tariffs brought by the European Coal and Steel Community will greatly ease the finances of the Principality of Nord.
James was busy in ParisJoseph was not idle, but unlike James who fought for James wholeheartedly, Joseph's busyness was to improve his quality of life.
The Nord Palace was built before World War II, and the Duchy was just established and did not have much money to invest in luxury life, so the palace was built very low-grade from the beginning, and although Ragnar renovated after the end of World War II, the economy of Nord at that time was not even as good as before World War II, and all he could do was a small renovation.
Now, Joseph's personal account already has tens of millions of dollars, and although the butler Abner has spent a lot of money on paintings and antiques, there are millions of dollars left, which is enough to rebuild the palace.
The Cabinet had no opinion on this proposal, even though they would have liked Joseph to save some of his money and invest it in the building of the country. They were in favor of the separation of the treasury and Joseph's private account at the beginning, and now they naturally cannot say such a thing, otherwise it would not be against the original will?
Secondly, Joseph is the well-deserved ruler of the Nord Principality, who would dare to refuse his idea? No matter how much power the cabinet has, it is all false, the first military is not in their hands, and the second Joseph has the ultimate power to dissolve the cabinet and dissolve the parliament, in the words of later generations, all the power of interpretation is owned by Joseph.
The cabinet does not veto, Abner is naturally looking forward to rebuilding the palace, he and the cabinet have different ideas, the purpose of the cabinet is how to make the country strong, and Abner, as a steward, is responsible for how to make their masters' lives better, and cultivating the palace is naturally the foundation for a better life.
Joseph originally intended to use the building system to build a palace for himself, but after turning over and over again, he found that the palaces in the building system were very rigid and had a very poor sense of art, so he hesitated and finally gave up, choosing to let Abner preside over the construction of the palace.
The new palace is still on the mountain, but at the other end near the direction of the industrial area, Abner has already obtained rough drawings, and the construction company says that it will be completed by June next year at the latest, and that Joseph will continue to live in the old palace for the time being.
The return of Morocco and the Nord has also changed greatly, first of all, the number of Chinese workers has reached 30,000, and the total population of Nord is more than 50,000, of which due to the arrival of a large number of German intellectuals, the citizens of the Nord Principality are about to 10,000, and the Minister of Finance said that the treasury has begun to have some pressure, after all, the welfare of the Nord Principality is too high.
For Joseph, as long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem, the Nord Royal Island has unknowingly grown to thirty square kilometers, rows of new genetic farms and pastures have been built, and there are three additional oil fields, but this time the oil is no longer provided to the United States but to the United Kingdom, after all, Joseph's main marriage partner in the future is still Britain, and it is necessary to curry favor with the Queen of England now.
The slow growth of the Nord Royal Island began to be discovered by various countries, but some of them only envied Joseph's good fortune and had no other thoughts, because in their understanding it was the movement of the earth's crust at work, and the Nord Royal Island was not the first case, but it was growing a little too fast.
As the number of inhabitants on the island grew, new apartments were built, and a plan was put forward to build a bridge to connect the island.
However, he hesitated to reject the cabinet's proposal, although he had no plan to incorporate the island into the mainland, but he must have to get closer in the future, and it was a little too early to judge the location of the bridge, and he did not believe the words of the geographers, because it was not caused by the movement of the earth's crust.
The Central District has begun to be inhabited by citizens, but because the supporting facilities have not yet been completed, only a small number of people have been relocated, but fortunately, the tram has been completed, and it is easier for the residents of the Central District to travel to and from it.
Due to the arrival of a large number of German intellectuals, the coverage of civic education in the Principality of Nord has reached 100 percent, but all children who have reached the age of six are in school, and there are no young people under the age of 16 on the streets, including in the workshops, because the Nord Youth Education Law and Protection Law have been promulgated, and no one in the Nord Principality, where the law is strict, dares to provoke the government and the law.
The Nord Education Act stipulates that young people between the ages of six and eighteen must attend school, and secondary school students are encouraged to start their own businesses, but they are not allowed to work outside the home, with the exception of holidays......
Nord abolished high schools this year, and some only left primary schools, middle schools, and universities, of which primary and secondary schools are compulsory, and universities are chosen by the students themselves.
Nord's education is relatively relaxed, and primary schools are mainly culturally based, so they are not allowed to go out to work even during the holidays, and of course if you work in such light jobs as stocks, design, literature, then the Nord police will not visit you.
After middle school, the main learning direction of students is practical operation, such as machine tools, drawing, sports, etc., the college entrance examination of the Principality of Nord is also a professional college entrance examination non-basic college entrance examination, it can be said that you apply for the sports college, then everything other than sports will not be tested, because a sports student does not need to learn other cultural courses, literacy, know how to count can be.
Education in the Principality of Nord has only one sentence: how to behave and how to do things! To be a human being is to be a person who is moral, responsible to the country, and responsible for the family, and to do things is to give you the means of survival. Such an education system can produce a series of talents as quickly as possible, although their skills will be more homogeneous.
The all-round development of morality, intellect and body is an important indicator of Joseph's education, and the body is very important, whether it is for scientific researchers or professional sports personnel, for this reason, starting from elementary school, there will be a week-long military training in the school every semester, with the aim of improving the students' health.
In addition to special military training, the school also has a series of fitness equipment, yoga, tai chi, sanda classes, although the teachers are not too professional, but it is enough to lay the foundation for the students.
These are easy to say, but in fact they all require money, as evidenced by Nord's $2 million education support in March 1981, which fortunately is not done every month, otherwise the Minister of Finance would have died of sorrow.
Education is the focus of the Principality of Nord, medical care is naturally not bad, the comprehensive general examination has been completed, the Ministry of Health reported the results Joseph is very satisfied, the national health value is 80 percent, and the remaining 20 percent is mostly smuggled from Eastern Europe, Germans, there is no major illness.
