Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 96 Royal Lord Nord
PS: Thank you Xindong for your two rewards. Regarding the issue of the protagonist not growing up, I can only say soon, very soon...

The matter of Earl Singola was temporarily put aside by Joseph. After all, it has been temporarily resolved now, and there is no need to focus on these small matters.

Yes, offending the Italian mafia may be a big deal for others, but for a head of state like Joseph, is this something worth paying attention to?Although... Once the Italian Mafia breaks out, it will be enough to endanger the Principality of Nord, the Ragnar family, and Joseph's own safety.

At this time, the cabinet is busy with economic construction, and Joseph is busy with the noble system of the Nord Principality in his spare time. Here is also a reminder that there were no nobles in the former Nord Principality. The only noble may be the Ragnar family. .Of course, now that Joseph is bringing up this matter again, he is not prepared to make a big deal of it. After all, the Principality of Nord has only tens of thousands of citizens, and if a complete noble system is created, the proportion of nobles is really too high!

The class of the Principality of Nord is divided into 20 workers who are quasi-immigrants, Nord citizens, honorary citizens of Nord, and the royal family of Ragnar. Among them, honorary citizens of Nord do not have much benefit, but are just titles like moral models. .However, Nord is a moral country. Facing these honorary citizens, ordinary citizens will respect them very much, whether they are shopping in line or talking, they will give some respect.

What is the aristocratic system that Joseph wants to get now?They are people who are really higher than the honorary citizens. They may not be hereditary, or they may have no practical benefits, but they are the real elites of the Nord Principality, at least the elites recognized by the Nord royal family.

Royal Lord Nord, this can be said to be a noble title or a medal, but as long as you have this title, even the Nord Royal Bank will give you the qualification for an interest-free loan of less than one million euros.

In addition, they also have the benefits of some royal economic subsidies, and the national welfare is several levels higher than that of ordinary citizens. In fact, the daily welfare received by honorary citizens is higher than that of ordinary citizens.

For example, in terms of milk, Nord Gene Ranch has a small amount of refined milk every day, which is a selected tribute for the royal family and the cabinet, but there are only a few people in the cabinet and the Nord royal family, and the rest of the extra parts are generally given to these honorary citizen.

Once the Royal Lord Nord appears, they will naturally enjoy the same benefits as cabinet members. In addition to milk, there are also carefully selected vegetables, some cabinet members, and honorary citizens can only buy stocks that can make a profit.

Of course, the return on stocks that make money without losing money is relatively low. For example, projects such as the subway project, although their returns are not too high, the probability of losing money is very low.

"Your Highness, who are you going to award this first lord to?"

When Joseph announced the matter of the Royal Lord of Nord, there was an uproar in the Western media, and they speculated who the first Royal Lord of the Principality of Nord would give to.Abner was also unavoidable, and while Joseph was looking at the medal of the Lord, he asked expectantly.

Naturally, his expectation is not to get it for himself. Although he understands that he has made great contributions to the Ragnar family, the Royal Lord Nord is not only for serving Joseph, and national contribution is also one of the important options.

"Butler Abner is also interested in this, so you can guess!"

Joseph thought it was funny that the old housekeeper, who used to be cautious, was gossiping like this. Of course, Joseph understood why he was so curious, after all, it also had something to do with himself.

"Prime Minister James?"

Abner was not as reserved as before. Seeing Joseph chuckling and waiting for his answer, Abner knew that Joseph had guessed his mind, so he boldly stated the goal of his inner guess.

"Of course it's Prime Minister James. I don't think anyone is more qualified to be the first Lord!"

Abner, the old butler, was happy, very happy.Why are you happy?What was James' status before he became Prime Minister of Nord?That is the steward of the Ragnar family, but who is the steward now?It's him Abner!

Since James was the first to receive the Royal Lordship, wouldn't it mean that he would also have a chance in the future?What he was worried about before was that the status of the butler would make James miss the lord, after all, the butler was fundamentally inferior.But you can rest assured now, because Joseph has no worries in this regard at all.

"Although Nord is a country, the Ragnar family has paid too much for this land. There is only one family who owns this land today and in the future, and that is the descendants of the Ragnar family. Abner , you are serving the Ragnar family, it is no different from serving the Principality of Nord."

Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning expressed in Joseph's words is already obvious. In the future... he, Abner, can also become a member of the lord.

……

In 1983, there were actually no major events in general. From the perspective of the country, it was the Nord Principality with several thousand new citizens. If the annual quota of [-] labor immigrants is confirmed, then the population of the Nord Principality will exceed [-].

Although the population of the Principality of Nord continued to increase, it did not lag behind in terms of education, morality, and elites. The only reason for lowering the education ratio was simply because there were more newborns who had not yet gone to school.

Judging from the situation of each country, the rate at which Nord increased by only 100 citizens a year is not fast, it can even be said to be very slow, because at this rate, the number of citizens of the Principality of Nord will only be 100 million in [-] years.

However, there is also a major educational event in Nord this year, that is, the first batch of graduates from the Royal Academy of Nord who have completed their graduation. Compared with those graduates in the crash course, they are more professional and their abilities are naturally much higher.In the words of the deputy dean of Nord Royal Academy, the graduates of Nord Royal Academy are not weaker than graduates of world famous schools such as Massachusetts, Oxford, and Cambridge in the United States, and even far surpass them in some aspects.

As the dean of the Nord Royal Academy, Joseph has no doubts about this sentence, not because of his identity, but because of his trust in the construction system.

Unless the Principality of Nord has really talented and intelligent geniuses, it is almost impossible to get out of a world giant like Marie Curie and Einstein, but speaking of ordinary scientific researchers, Joseph can guarantee that the Principality of Nord will The numbers in this regard are enough to shock the world.

To put it simply, the lowest graduates of Nord Royal Academy have the level of professors in ordinary prestigious schools.Of course, the same is true for the highest level, they are produced by a systematic and balanced assembly line, unless the students themselves are talented, otherwise the achievements will stop here.

But this is also very remarkable. For example, there are more than a dozen S-level scientific researchers in the United States, hundreds of A-level scientific researchers, and thousands or even tens of thousands of B-level scientific researchers, so the Duchy of Nord has zero S-level scientific researchers. There are thousands of A-level scientific researchers, and 0 B-level scientific researchers. It is clear at a glance which one is strong and which is weak.

What the Principality of Nord lacks now is a commanding S-level scientific researcher. As long as there is his guidance, it is not too difficult to develop any technology that can be imagined with the help of thousands of A-level scientific researchers.

Of course, the quantity is just a metaphor. The population of the United States is incomparable to the Principality of Nord. The only comparison can only be compared with a large city or a remote province in the United States with a population of several 10.But this is only now, and no one can say for sure what will happen in more than ten years.
