July 5, 1981 was a day of great significance for the Nord Principality, because the Nord Royal Television released a news that the entire Nord citizens took to the streets to proclaim Joseph's contribution to the Nord Principality and show their allegiance to the Ragnar family.

On the evening of July 4, 1981, the President of France signed a purchase and lease agreement with the Prime Minister of the Nord Cabinet, whereby the Principality of Nord spent $30 million to buy back the disputed territory of about 80 square kilometers, and secondly, the Principality of Nord leased a large area of barren land in western France for $50 million, covering an area of about 190 square kilometers.

The term of the lease is not specified, but only the parties understand that the lease period is 500 years long, and secondly, the Duchy of Nord has the priority to continue the lease price, although the price is also as high as tens of millions of dollars, but it does not matter how much rent compared to this land, and who knows what the situation will be after 500 years?

In one leap, the territory of the Duchy of Nord had increased to one hundred and fifty square kilometers (three hundred and forty square kilometers), but this was also a financial burden for the current Duchy of Nord.

As of July 1981, the Duchy of Nord was only $1.3 billion, of which $400 million was spent on education, health care, and so on, and Joseph could only spend $900 million on construction, or even less.

Literally this is already a lot, but it is used in a nation-building...... It was just a basic framework, and of course Joseph had no intention of building a new city, his aim was to complete the previous plan.

The series of economies driven by Audi is obvious, and nearly 30,000 people in Germany still depend on Audi to survive, after all, Audi only has an assembly plant in Nord, and the rest is in the original location in Germany.

Joseph still has 30 percent of the shares of the Auto Alliance, but unfortunately the Auto Alliance is only an empty shell, which has become responsible for coordinating the relations and contracts between Audi and these parts companies.

Joseph's aim was to dissolve the Automobile Union and allow the parts companies to move to the soon-to-be-established industrial zone (leased area) of the Duchy of Nord, turning it into the center of light and heavy industry in the future Duchy of Nord.

The old industrial area was facing demolition because Joseph wanted to abolish the Central District, the North City District, and the South City District (the former industrial area) and combine the three districts to build a modern new city. The first island of Nord Royal will also be renamed the first overseas area, and the main economy is agriculture, which happens to be the island's convenient port construction and export.

When the grand plan was put on the cabinet table, the cabinet members were collectively shocked by Joseph's plan, not the content but the money involved in it made them incredible, of course, it is also conceivable that once the completion of the Nord international status and economy will inevitably reach a new height.

If that's all they can't say, after all, it's okay to take your time, but when an opinion on immigration is placed in front of them, they finally can't continue to be calm, and they noisily dissuade Joseph.

In order to increase the difficulty of Nord immigration, but at the same time increase the working hours of workers in the Nord Principality, and can enjoy the reduced education and medical benefits, and at the same time, a certain number of immigration quotas will be given to workers every year, mainly based on moral standards and education.

Joseph never felt that the strict standards of law and moral evaluation could be maintained, but these were only a guiding effect, and once the citizens formed habits, then there was no need for them to exist.

There are two main reasons why the cabinet is not satisfied with Joseph's approach, the first is that they perceive that Joseph is doing things more and more casually, if it is not at first, it doesn't matter, after all, Nord does not have the appearance of a country at all, but now it is ...... Having realized the beauty of power, they must fight for it.

The second is purely for the sake of the country, although education and medical care have been cut, but it also requires a lot of money to be spent on education and medical care every year, which is not an easy thing for the Nord principality, which has a lot of places to build despite its rich treasury.

During this period of time, Joseph also experienced the change in cabinet members, but he never took it to heart, but today...... He knew he couldn't help but make some decisions.

"Although this is a proposal, I hope it will be carried out, and I hope you will remember one sentence, this is Nord, and I am the Grand Duke of Nord."

After saying this, Joseph turned to leave, I don't know if it was a hallucination, several cabinet members who looked at each other noticed a trace of murderous intent from the guards of the guard station, and they left one after another with a shudder.

In the end, the cabinet did not dare to veto Joseph's proposal, and the immigration plan was carried out, which the Nord citizens did not have much of a problem with, because even if the workers could enjoy the benefits, they were much worse than them, and they had no reason to complain about maintaining their status.

The word taxpayer is the least used in Nord because it was first Joseph who gave them a job, and secondly they were eligible to pay taxes. In short, their relationship with Joseph was not only that of a monarch and a subject, but also of a director and a worker, and therefore they were not in a position to argue that Joseph spent their tax money, and the main thing was that 80 percent of the credit for Nord today was to the laborers, not to them, the former citizens.

The citizens were not dissatisfied, and the workers rushed to tell each other the good news, and the $500 annual medical reimbursement, the $300 education waiver, and the 2,000 immigration quota (1981) each deserved to be celebrated.

In fact, there is a shortcut to becoming a Nord citizen, any member of the Nord Praetorian Guard can become a Nord citizen with his family, of course, the Janissaries can enter but not leave, at least ten years of military service.

The Nord Praetorian Guard was the only army of the Nords, with a tentative number of 1,500 men, and they were mainly responsible for national defense and security, riots in the city, and because the Nords were permanently neutral, there were no foreign wars.

Joseph was strict in the selection of personnel for the Praetorian Guard, the officers were mainly Germans, the soldiers were mainly Chinese and Eastern Europeans, and the armaments were ready to follow the United States.

And just as Joseph was preparing for the Nord Royal Janissaries, a troublesome matter came to his door, to be precise, the West German Chancellor was about to visit the Nord Principality......

Those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming! Only he knows how much German blood Nord devoured, not to mention the rest, 90 percent of the engineers and high-paid workers are Germans.

Joseph's new palace has been built, it was named Icarori Palace, the new palace is much larger than the old palace of the Ragnar family, it is located halfway up the hill and has excellent conditions to enjoy the sunrise and the sea, swimming pool, miniature golf course and some modern things to add to it.

The prototype is still built in the classical style, and the magnificence is the first impression after entering the door, with golden corridors, dazzling crystal lamps, and reliefs full of history and classical beauty, this corridor alone costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the effect is obvious, at least Joseph is satisfied.
