Chapter Ninety-Five: The Royal Lord of Nord
ps: Thank you for the two tips from your heartwarming classmates, on the question of whether the protagonist will grow up, I can only say that it will be very soon, very soon......
The matter of Count Singela was put aside by Joseph for the time being, after all, it was now temporarily resolved, and there was no need to focus on these small things.
Yes, offending the Italian mafia may be a big deal for others, but for a head of state like Joseph, it's also worth taking to heart? Though...... Once the Italian mafia broke out, it would be enough to endanger the Nord principality, the Ragnar family, and Joseph's own safety.
At this time, the cabinet was busy with economic construction, and Joseph was busy with the nobility system of the Duchy of Nord outside of class. Of course, now Joseph is not ready to make a big deal about it when he mentions this matter again, after all, the Duchy of Nord is only tens of thousands of citizens, and if a complete aristocratic system comes out, the proportion of nobles is really too high!
The class of the Duchy of Nord is divided into 200,000 laborers who are prospective immigrants, citizens of Nord, honorary citizens of Nord, and Ragnar royalty, among which the honorary citizens of Nord do not have much benefit, but are just titles like moral models. However, Nord is a German degree, and in the face of these honorary citizens, ordinary citizens will be very respectful, whether it is to buy things in line or to talk, they will give some respect.
What is the aristocratic system that Joseph wants to get now? They are the people of a real higher class above the honorary citizens, they may not be hereditary, they may not have practical benefits, but they are the real elite of the Nord principality, at least the elite recognized by the Nord royal family.
The Royal Lord of Nord, which can be said to be a title of nobility and a kind of decoration, but as long as you have this title, even the Royal Bank of Nord will be eligible for an interest-free loan of one million euros.
In addition to this, they also have some of the benefits of the royal financial subsidy, and the state welfare is also several levels higher than that of ordinary citizens, in fact, the daily benefits received by honorary citizens are somewhat higher than those of ordinary citizens.
For example, in terms of milk, the Nord Gene Ranch has a small amount of refined milk every day, which is a selected tribute to the royal family and the cabinet, but the cabinet and the Nord royal family are only a few people, and the rest of the excess is generally given to these honorary citizens.
Once the Nord Royal Lords appeared, they would naturally enjoy the same benefits as the members of the Cabinet, in addition to the milk there were carefully selected vegetables, some stocks that only the members of the Cabinet and honorary citizens could buy.
Of course, the return of the stock that is sure to make money is relatively low, such as the subway project, although his income is not too high, but the probability of losing money is very low.
"Your Highness, who are you going to bestow this first lord on?"
When Joseph announced the matter of the Nord Royal Lord, the Western media were in an uproar, speculating about who the first royal lord of the Nord Principality would give. Abner was also not exempt from vulgarity, and inquired expectantly while Joseph was looking at the Lord's Medal.
Naturally, his expectations were not for his own gains, although he knew that he had worked hard for the Ragnar family, but the Royal Lord Nord was not only for serving Joseph, but also for the country's contribution.
"Butler Abner is actually interested in this, so you can guess!"
Joseph thought it was funny, the old butler who used to be conscientious was also so gossipy, of course, Joseph understood why he was so curious, after all, it was also related to himself.
"Prime Minister James?"
Abner was not as reserved as before, and when he saw Joseph chuckling and waiting for his answer, Abner understood that Joseph had guessed his mind, so he boldly stated the goal of his inner guess.
"Prime Minister James, of course, I don't think anyone is more deserving of this first Lord than him!"
The old butler Abner was very happy, very happy. Why are you happy? Who was James before he became Prime Minister of Nord? That's the butler of the Ragnar family, and who is the butler now? It's him Abner!
Since James was the first to receive the title of Royal Lord, wouldn't he have a chance in the future? He had been worried that the status of the butler would make James lose his relationship with the Lord, after all, the butler was fundamentally inferior. But now you can rest assured, because Joseph has no worries about this at all.
"Although Nord is a country, the Ragnar family has given too much on this land, and today and in the future there is only one family of owners of this land, that is, the descendants of the Ragnar family. Abner, you are in the service of the Ragnar family, and it is no different from serving the Nord Principality. ”
Although it is not explicitly stated, the meaning expressed in Joseph's words is already obvious, the future ...... He Abner was also able to become one of the Lords.
……
In 1983, in fact, there was no major event in general, from the national side, that is, the Principality of Nord added a few thousand new citizens, and if the annual quota of 5,000 labor immigrants was determined, then the population of the Principality of Nord exceeded 40,000 in sight.
Although the population of the Duchy of Nord continues to increase, it does not lag behind in terms of education, morality, and elites, and the only reason for the decrease in the proportion of education is only because of the increase in the number of newborns who have not yet gone to school.
According to the situation of various countries, the rate at which Nord only adds 10,000 citizens a year is not fast, and it can even be said to be very slow, because at this rate, the citizens of the Principality of Nord in a hundred years will only be one million.
However, this year Nord also has a major educational event, that is, the first batch of Nord Royal Academy graduates who have graduated completely, they are more professional and capable than those graduates of the crash course. In the words of the vice president of the Nord Royal Academy, the graduates of the Nord Royal Academy are not weaker than the graduates of world-renowned universities such as Massachusetts, Oxford, and Cambridge in the United States, and even far surpass them in some aspects.
As the dean of the Royal Academy of Nord, Joseph had no doubts about this statement, not because of his status, but because of his trust in building the system.
Unless the Principality of Nord really has a talented genius, it is almost impossible to get out of a world bull like Marie Curie and Albert Einstein, but speaking of ordinary scientific researchers, Joseph can guarantee that the number of Nord principalities in this regard in the future will be enough to shock the world.
To put it simply, the lowest graduates of the Nord Royal Academy are at the level of professors from ordinary prestigious universities. Of course, the highest is also the case, they are produced by a systematic and balanced assembly line, unless the students themselves are talented, the achievement ends here.
However, this is also very remarkable, for example, the United States has more than a dozen S-level scientific researchers, hundreds of A-level scientific researchers, thousands or even tens of thousands of B-level scientific researchers, and the Nord principality has 0 S-level scientific researchers, thousands of A-level scientific researchers, and 0 B-level scientific researchers, which is stronger and weaker at a glance.
What the Principality of Nord lacks now is a commanding S-level scientific researcher, as long as there is his guidance, then it is not too difficult to develop any technology that can be thought of with thousands of A-level scientific researchers.
Of course, the number is only a metaphor, and the population of the United States is incomparable to that of the Duchy of Nord, and the only comparison can only be with a large city or a remote province in the United States with a population of several hundred thousand. But this is only for now, and no one can say what will happen in more than ten years.
