Kress never meant to kill Joseph, after all, the French government did not want the Duchy of Nord to be a mess, according to that plan, within a few decades, Nord would be a part of France, and there was no need to make trouble in vain. But a Grand Duke of Nord with some problems in his head is clearly in the interests of some people than a sober Grand Duke, even if the Grand Duke is only an eight-year-old boy.

The doctor in the palace reported that Joseph had a slight fever, but if it was serious, it was not a small problem, and it would require dozens of days of recuperation in bed, and it would even affect IQ.

How did Joseph know these things? It is estimated that Kress did not expect that although Joseph was uncomfortable at that time, he did not pass out, and everything was the answer that Joseph found from memory.

The next two days of Joseph's life were very uneventful, first of all, he met with some of his direct subordinates, mainly those of the Praetorian Guard, and secondly, he made a public appearance in the cabinet, which was also a necessary process after the coronation. In fact, Joseph was supposed to have a close encounter with his subjects, but given the current circumstances, he finally put the matter on hold for a month.

James has gone to the United States, although there are some doubts about his departure, but Joseph does not say, he does not have the courage to ask, recently he has found that Joseph's majesty is getting heavier and heavier, many times Kress does not even dare to show his face in front of Joseph, in fact, not only he but others are also deeply touched.

On the sixth day since Joseph ordered the rectification of the North City District, Kress came to Joseph's study with a copy of the document, and watched Joseph, who was reading books about economics, for some reason he didn't dare to disturb him, and stood quietly and waited.

In fact, Joseph knew from the moment Kress entered the door, but as a person in power, especially at his age, he had to maintain a certain distance and majesty in order to make the people below fear and respect, this is the pure teaching of the Ragnar II in his mind.

"Sit, isn't it a matter of Beicheng District?"

Without apologies, without the slightest politeness, Joseph went straight to the point, or that sentence, he was the well-deserved ruler of the Duchy of Nord, whether it was wrong or right, he did not need to explain and did not need to explain.

Kress didn't sit down, he was already a little jealous of the eight-year-old ruler from his heart, if Joseph was an ordinary person, then Kress would naturally not be like this, but the object was the ruler who held the power of life and death, so who could ignore it? Who can not be afraid?

What kind of ruler is the most terrible? Rulers who are ambitious but young and do not know how to take it are the most terrible because they are immature at heart and are prone to impulsive things. If it is an ordinary person, it naturally doesn't matter, after all, he has no ability to hurt others, but he is a monarch who has the power of life and death......

It is true that Kress is a member of the French government, but he is afraid that Joseph does not understand all the ways and means at all, and Kress himself is also weak-minded, which is why he has today's fear or fear.

"Yes, the northern city has been leveled, I don't know what His Highness's plan is next......"

"When the time comes, you will naturally know, in addition, there are no urban planning talents, help me make a few drawings, urban planning and construction drawings, I have urgent needs."

From leveling the northern city to the drawings, Kress had roughly guessed what Joseph was going to do, but he was a little confused, and now he knew best about the finances of the Nord principality, where was the money to build the new district?

Don't...... Something to do with James going to the United States?

Joseph didn't know that Kress had set his sights on James who was heading for the United States, otherwise he would have regretted that he had done it in such a high-profile manner, and even ...... Maybe it will make Kress disappear into the Duchy of Nord.

The construction of the North City is important, but the Marshall Plan is also very important, and if the construction system is the core and hope of the future development of the Nord principality, then the Marshall Plan is the foundation of it all. The system could create a new northern city, but the Marshall Plan could bring hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in aid to the Duchy of Nord, which was hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, and it was self-evident what this huge amount of money meant to the Duchy of Nord.

Kress did not continue to dwell on it, and then turned to leave, unbeknownst to him, as Joseph's plan unfolded step by step, the day of his departure from France was not far off, after all, Joseph could not tolerate a person with other intentions to stay in the position of prime minister all the time.

On April 30, 1980, the Queen of the Netherlands was crowned, and at the same time, a warm sea breeze blew pedestrians on the East Coast of the United States, and it was on this day that James officially landed in Washington, D.C.

The Duchy of Nord is a small country after all, so even though James represents the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Duchy of Nord, it is only a small staff member of the US Foreign Office who actually greets him at the airport.

"Excuse me, you're Minister James! I'm David from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I'll take care of your food and living in the U.S., uh...... Forget a word, welcome to Washington, USA. ”

"Thanks, when will I be able to see General Marshall?"

David is a young man in his twenties, and he is very enthusiastic, and he does not despise the Nord Principality in the slightest, but when he heard James say this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on his face.

"Minister James, let's get in the car first!"

James must have read some information from the other party's face, but he had already prepared for the worst on the way, so he didn't show dissatisfaction, and followed David to the car with a slight smile.

The U.S. Ministry of Foreign Affairs treats the representatives of these small countries very well, and the five-star Hilton Hotel, Lincoln RV, and tens of thousands of dollars in entertainment expenses, in terms of life alone, James can't find fault at all.

It's just that in the next few days, although David has been very warm to entertain him, visiting parks, the Civil War Memorial, and even a day trip to the White House, but James's goal has not been achieved, not to mention meeting with Marshall, that is, there is not even accurate information, every time David tells him with a guilty face that he needs to wait, and now he can't be contacted.

The Marshall Plan has been proposed in Congress, and now it is in the midst of fierce debate, many American officials understand James's purpose, for which the Nord Principality has also entered the eyes of American officials and even the president, but they are a little confused, the proposal is still in a state of secrecy, how does this small Nord European country know?

Of course, this is just a small confusion, most of the parliamentarians are from the capital consortium or have the support of the capital consortium behind it, it is really difficult to expect them to keep secrets, I hope that the Grand Duke of the Principality of Nord has contact with a certain consortium in the United States, so he got this news, and is ready to build relations in advance to seek more assistance.

In fact, James's trip was not in vain, even if he couldn't see Marshall, because the president had already kept the Nord Principality in mind, and guessed that he had an extraordinary relationship with a certain American consortium, and the Nord Principality could not be ignored, but the president of this consortium could not ignore it, and the assistance should be given more or less.

It doesn't matter if the guess is wrong, it's nothing more than tens of millions of dollars, and in tens of billions of dollars in aid packages, it's just a drop in the bucket.

While James was begging for a way in the United States, Joseph was looking at the city planning drawings on his desk and nervously exhaled the virtual map, and then watched the various buildings slowly click down.

"Hint: Is it certain that a low-rent apartment will be built in the northern urban area (101,20) of the Principality of Nord?"

Seeing that the coordinates in the prompt were correct, Joseph took a deep breath and nodded, and said silently in his heart: "Sure!" ”

"Hint: Host has been identified, building construction has begun, please wait for ......"

Virtual map 101,20 coordinates instantly appear the shadow of a low-rent apartment, and around the virtual shadow there is a partition plank being built in the construction game, and at the top there is a funnel, and the fine sand is flowing rapidly......

Because it was night, Joseph was not worried about others finding out, of course, even if he did, it was nothing, he was the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Nord, did he still need to explain it to others?

At this time, half a month has passed since the probationary period, and Joseph must spend the $10.0000 as soon as possible, otherwise the probationary period will pass, and everything will return to normal, and Joseph will probably cry to death.

There are two streets in the drawing, and it is these two streets that divide the Beicheng District into three parts, which are called the first block, the second block, and the third block. One of them, near the French border, was planned by Joseph as a civilian area, that is, the third block, where the low-rent apartments are mainly located.

The land area of the Duchy of Nord is very small, not to mention the northern city district, so although Joseph has tried his best to increase the construction area of the low-rent apartment area, there are only fifteen low-rent apartments in the end, with a total population of 1,500.

The system advises that the total rental price of each low-rent apartment is $1,000 per year, which is very low at the price at this time. However, Joseph is not ready to collect rent according to the prompts of the system, what does the Nord royal family need most at this time? It's the human heart.

If he could get a one-year rent-free apartment in exchange for the support of Nord citizens, Joseph would not hesitate to do so, because the price he paid was only $4.500.

In addition to the low-rent apartments, Joseph also built five ordinary apartments and a smooth road, the ordinary apartment is located in the first block (coastal), and the pavement of the main road is one of the highest grade of road options, the specific material is unknown, but it has the effect of anti-skid in rain and snow, and the overall color of the road surface is dark red.

The ordinary apartment does not cost Joseph much, but the road consumption is quite high, $10.000 is only the cost of the two main roads, and the rest of the small roads are only $10.000 with the ordinary apartment and the low-rent apartment. The apartments are located on the coast, while the middle is reserved for the commercial area (second block) by Josef, where a uniform three-storey store building stands.

There are three restaurants, one Western, one Chinese, one fast-food, in addition to a taxi company, a bank, a car wash, two office buildings, three clothing stores, and of course, all kinds of shops are complete, but there are no raw materials in them, such as the lack of ingredients in the restaurant, the lack of clothes in the clothing store, and the bank...... Lack of money.

The only thing that has a complete set is probably the taxi company, which can choose the brand of the taxi, for which Joseph pays an extra $100 in exchange for ten Mercedes benz taxis (the rest of the shops can also be changed for only a fee, and if they are not changed, the default equipment is used).

However, even so, Joseph still has to feel that the construction system is strong and complete, and when the time comes, he only needs to open the bidding to lease the entire store, and the North City District can operate quickly and normally.

There are already five ordinary apartments in the first block, and the rest of Joseph is going to allocate this place as an industrial area, a garment processing factory, a transportation company, a port, a slaughterhouse, a ship repair yard, everything is given priority to the shops in the northern city, after all, Joseph does not have enough funds in his hands.

It was about three o'clock in the morning when everything was built, and Joseph yawned and couldn't help but smile as he looked at the buildings on the map of the North District, but the balance of less than $2.000 made him a little depressed. The main reason is that the port cost is really a bit large, but looking at the attached cruise ship and two cargo ships, he can't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Joseph set aside a buffer zone between the North and Central Districts, so that the citizens of Nord would not notice the changes in the North City, and tomorrow morning Joseph would arrange for the Praetorian Guards to cordon off the area, and everything would be reopened in a month, so that although it would make people wonder, there would be no other ideas. (Beicheng District was previously a no-man's land)
