Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 16 The Maid Joanna

"Your name is... Joanna?"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness Joseph."

Joanna was still a little nervous. She never treated Joseph as a child. From the first day she came to the palace, the people here instilled in her the dignity and deeds of Joseph.YouQi happened to see Joseph get angry twice, and Joanna was deeply impressed by the hideous look on his immature face.

"You seem to be afraid of me?"

"No, no."

Smiling lightly, Joseph didn't tell her lie, picked up the coffee brought by Joanna, and Joseph couldn't help admiring the little girl's Miaoman figure.

Joanna is Polish, half of her blood is German. She is tall and has dark blue eyes and slender legs. She looks very attractive under the maid outfit, especially her palm-sized face with delicate Face, basically she has the qualifications to be a beauty model.

Joseph's gaze made Joanna a little uncomfortable. Although she knew that the other party was just an eight-year-old boy and couldn't do anything to her, some things were beyond her control. Her legs gave way and she almost fell to the ground.

huh...

Joanna's face turned red, and she herself didn't know why she groaned in shame. Could it be because His Highness's gaze gave her the thrill of undressing and standing in front of him?
"You are 14 years old this year!"

Joanna, who was imagining some bad things, was instantly awakened by one sentence. A daze flashed in her beautiful eyes, but the daze quickly disappeared. She nodded her head and said, "I'm just 14 years old this year."

"Your father was an engineer in a shipyard, and your mother is now a teacher at Nord High School?"

"En" Joanna didn't understand the meaning of Joseph's question, but she still affirmed it honestly.

"It's okay, let's go down! By the way, I'm not as scary as you imagined, and I won't eat you."

She waved Joanna to leave, but when she walked to the door with confusion, the words behind Joseph also came. The speaker was unintentional but the listener intended. Joseph was just a little teasing, but the sentence that eats you obviously made Joanna Misunderstood something, which caused Joanna to avoid Joseph for the next period of time.

I thought that today was a rare day of leisure, so Joseph was in the mood to tease his little maid, but who would have thought that James would come in a hurry not long after Joanna left.

"His Royal Highness, Minister Herman has returned, and it's going well. Minister Herman has signed a processing project worth more than 3000 million pounds, most of which are light industries. Your Highness, look..."

During this period of time, the mystery of Joseph, James, and other officials have become more and more clear, especially those workshops and shops built by Joseph are very different from those opened by Nord citizens privately. Needless to say, the workshops produce finished products. The speed is more than double that of ordinary workshops.

There are also restaurants. The same chefs cook exquisite dishes in the restaurants sold by Joseph, but they are much more ordinary in other restaurants. Of course, things like this are blocked by James.

James and other officials didn't think much about it, they thought that Joseph had some mysterious technology in his hands, such as workshops and restaurants, which could actually be attributed to tableware and machinery. In fact, those workers and chefs themselves said, Even if you use the same thing in other places, you will feel almost nothing.

This time James’s arrival is to allow Joseph to build more textile and food processing workshops. As the US trade orders are coming soon, the Principality of Nord wants to complete the orders within the agreed time, so adding a few workshops is essential, and these workshops will also be leased to Nord citizens at a relatively low price.

It is worth mentioning that the taxation of July has been calculated, and the GDP of that month almost reached 400 million US dollars. This is due to the arrival of a large number of media, but Joseph cannot be dissatisfied with such data.

With the gradual repayment of the loan, one-tenth of the original loan of more than [-] US dollars has been repaid. The amount is small, but this is a good start. It is conceivable that Nord’s finances will be difficult even if there is no Marshall Plan in a year. It will gradually become correct.

"Send Andy over here."

He greeted the guard casually and asked him to call Andy. James looked at Joseph with some doubts, not understanding what his son had to do with the things he said.

"Prime Minister James, there may be one thing you are not clear about. Andy helped me contact the Chinese ambassador to France a while ago, and we will talk about some things."

"Huaxia?"

James became more and more puzzled, and James was naturally aware of Huaxia. He respected Joseph's mother from China, but he didn't understand what to discuss with Joseph and the Chinese government.That country is backward and poor, and the Principality of Nord has no roots. What can the two poor countries talk about?

"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

Joseph didn't answer James' doubts, and he didn't ask Andy to explain the matter in detail until Andy arrived. After learning about the content of Joseph's negotiation with Huaxia, James froze in place.

"Your Highness, you, you are, you are..."

James was so excited that he couldn't complete his words. After all, Andy was just a college student who had just graduated, and he didn't think too deeply. He only thought that doing so might anger the United States. what to bring.

"There is no need to say whether this matter is right or wrong. As long as it is not discovered by the United States during transportation, I have my own way to solve the other problems. I guarantee that the United States will not suspect us. But there is one thing I need you to do. Ask China what it needs The specific equipment and the price of the equipment."

What Joseph actually valued was not the benefits this time. Even if the previously set price increased by [-]%, Joseph would earn close to [-] million US dollars, but what is this compared to gaining Huaxia's friendship?
It is estimated that no one would have thought that China would be called the world's factory in more than ten years, and no one would have thought that the food, housing and transportation of most people in the whole world would be marked with the label made in China.

After the shock just now, James' mood has begun to calm down.Indeed, as Joseph said, as long as there are no problems in transportation, other things don't matter much. Nord urgently needs a lot of funds. If the interest really reaches 50.00%, this matter is still worth doing.

"I will arrange for people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to go to France for this matter, Your Highness, is there anything else?"

The cook in the palace can solve small things, but such decisive things still need to go to France to talk with Ambassador Zhang Jianjun in person, which is why Joseph told James.Andy?Andy can go for the first time, but this time it is better for professionals to go.

"Now Nord is still short of workers. Although hundreds of German workers come to Nord every month, it is still not enough, far from enough. You go to test the meaning of Ambassador Zhang Jianjun. If it is feasible, sign a labor service of [-] people. contract."

The Central District is under construction, and Joseph intends to upgrade the low-rent apartments in the North District to ordinary apartments and build a few more buildings, so that the population that can be accommodated in the North District will at least triple, and the South District alone will be able to accommodate 7000 people [-]. The Central District is far larger than the Beicheng District. Once completed, the population will be at least [-].

Of course, this is not the reason why Joseph wants a large population. The real reason is that various workshops, whether it is Audi assembly workshops, textile workshops, ports, and shipyards, still have a large shortage of workers. Ten thousand people are just the foundation and cannot satisfy At this time, the Nord Principality needs workers.

In particular, Joseph has just built an agricultural laboratory, and genetically modified small farms and high-efficiency pastures are about to be activated. At that time, a large area of ​​reclamation will inevitably be required, and the demand for workers will continue to increase...

Once these are completed, the Nord Principality will be considered stable. Everyone will have housing, food, jobs, and living in the garden city. truly independent country.
