《Reborn as a small European country》Chapter 4: Construction, North City District
Advertisement
Kress never meant to get Joseph killed, after all, the French government did not want the Duchy of Noord to become a mess, according to the plan, in a few decades Noord is a part of France, there is no need to create trouble. But a Grand Duke with some brain problems is obviously in the interest of some people than a sober Grand Duke, even if the Grand Duke is only a little boy of eight years old.
The doctor of the palace reported that Joseph had a slight fever, but if it was serious, it was not a small problem, it would require several dozen days of recuperation in bed, and even affect the IQ.
Joseph how to know these things? It is estimated that Kress also did not think, although Joseph was suffering but did not pass out, everything is Joseph from memory to find the answer.
The next two days of Joseph's life were uneventful. First, he received some of his direct subordinates, mainly those of the Praetorian Guard, and second, he made a public appearance in the cabinet, which was a necessary process after his coronation. Joseph should have gone to have intimate contact with his subjects, but considering the current circumstances, he finally put it off until a month later.
Jemez had already left for the United States, and although there was some confusion about his departure, Joseph did not say, he did not dare to ask, recently he found that Joseph's authority was getting heavier and heavier, and very often Crixus did not even dare to show his face in front of Joseph, in fact, not only him, others also felt it.
On the sixth day after Joseph ordered to reorganize the North Side, Crixus came to Joseph's study with a copy of the information and looked at Joseph who was reading a book about the economy and somehow did not dare to interrupt and stood quietly waiting.
Joseph knew from the moment Crixus entered the door, but as a person in power, especially at his age, he must maintain a certain distance and dignity to make the people below fear and respect, this is the simple teaching of the Ragnar II in his mind.
"Sit down, is it about the North Side?"
No apologies, no courtesy, Joseph went straight to the point, as usual, he was the rightful ruler of the Duchy of Nod, whether it was wrong or right, he did not need to explain and did not have to explain.
Crixus didn't sit down, he was already a bit jealous of this eight-year-old ruler from the inside, if Joseph was an ordinary man then naturally Crixus wouldn't be like this, but against a ruler who holds the power of life and death, then who can ignore? Who can't be afraid?
What kind of ruler is the most fearful? Ambitious but young rulers who do not know what is important are the most frightening because they are immature and prone to impulsive things. If it is an ordinary person, it does not matter, after all, he is not capable of hurting others, but if it is a monarch who has the power of life and death ......
Crixus is the French government is not wrong, but fear Joseph simply do not know the way, plus Crixus himself is also weak, which has today's jealousy or fear.

"Yes, the northern part of the city has been leveled, I do not know your highness's next plan ......"
"By then you will naturally know, in addition, there is no urban planning talent, help me make a few drawings, urban planning and construction of the drawings, I have urgent use."
From the leveling of the northern city district to the drawings, Kress has probably guessed what Joseph is going to do, but he is a little confused, now the Duchy of Nod's finances he knows best, where there is money to build a new district?
Could ...... have something to do with Jemez going to America?
Joseph did not know that Crixus had set his eyes on Jemez, who had gone to the United States, otherwise, he would have regretted that he had done this in such a high profile way, and even ...... might have made Crixus disappear from the Nordic duchies.
The construction of the North City is very important, but compared to the Marshall Plan is also very important, if the construction system is the core of the future development of the Principality of Nod and hope, then the Marshall Plan is the basis for all of this. The system can create a new North City, but the Marshall Plan can bring hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in aid to the Duchy of Noord, that is hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, this huge sum of money to the Duchy of Noord what it means.
What he didn't know was that as Joseph's plans unfolded, the day he would leave France was not far away, after all, Joseph could not tolerate a dissident in his position as prime minister.
On April 30, 1980, the Queen of the Netherlands was crowned, and at the same time the warm sea breeze blew the pedestrians along the East Coast of the United States, and it was on this day that Jaymes officially landed in Washington, DC.
The Duchy of Noord is a small country, after all, so even though Jaymes represented the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Duchy of Noord, he was greeted at the airport by a small staff member of the U.S. Foreign Service.
"You must be Minister Jemez! I'm David from the Foreign Ministry and I will be responsible for your food and lodging in the U.S. Uh ...... forget to say, welcome to Washington, D.C."
"Thank you, when can I see General Marshall?"
The first time I heard the words of Jemez, he could not help but have some difficulty on his face.
"Minister Jesus, we'd better get in the car first!"
From the other side of the face, Jemez must have read some information, but on the road, he had already prepared the worst assumptions, so did not show dissatisfaction, a slight smile and followed David to the car.
The U.S. Foreign Office still treats the representatives of these small countries very well, with five-star Hilton Hotel, Lincoln RV, tens of thousands of dollars of hospitality, just from the life, Jemez simply can not pick a fault.
The next few days, although David has been very warm hospitality to him, visiting the park, the Civil War Memorial and even a day trip to the White House, Jemez's purpose has not been achieved, not to mention meeting with Marshall, or even accurate information, each time David told him with a guilty face need to wait, now can not be contacted and so on.

Marshall plan has been proposed in Congress, is now in the midst of a heated argument, many people U.S. officials understand the purpose of Jemez, for this, the Duchy of Germany has also come into the eyes of U.S. officials and even the President, but they are a little confused, the proposal is still in a state of secrecy, this small Nordic European countries how to know?
Of course, this is only a small confusion, most of the members are of capital consortia origin or have capital consortia behind the support, expect them to keep it a little difficult, perhaps the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Noord is in contact with a certain U.S. consortium, so he got this news, ready to play a good relationship in advance for more assistance.
Jemez this trip is not in vain, even if he can not see Marshall, because the president has the Duchy of Nod in mind, and guessed that he has an extraordinary relationship with a consortium of the United States, the Duchy of Nod can not be put in the eyes, but this consortium of the president can not ignore, more or less aid should be given some.
It doesn't matter if the guess is wrong, it's just a few tens of millions of dollars, in the tens of billions of dollars in aid programs, it's just a drop in the bucket.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
"Prompt: Nordic duchy north city district (101, 20) construction of low-cost apartments a building, whether confirmed?"
Looking at the correct coordinates in the prompt, Joseph took a deep breath and nodded his head, and said silently, "OK!"
"Hint: The host has confirmed, building construction has started, please wait ......"
The virtual map 101, 20 coordinates instantly emerged from the virtual image of low-cost apartments, and around the virtual image there is the construction of the game is being built in the isolation of wooden panels, and at the top, there is a funnel, fine sand is fast flowing ......
The fact that it was night, Joseph was not worried about other people finding out, of course, even if it was found out, there is nothing, he is the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Nod, does not need to explain to others?
At this time, the trial period has passed half a month, and Joseph must spend the 10.0000 as soon as possible, otherwise, the trial period is over, all prices return to normal, and Joseph is estimated to cry to death.
There are two streets on the North Side of the map, and it is from these two streets that the North Side is divided into three parts, which are called the First, Second, and Third Streets. This part near the French border was planned by Joseph as a civilian area, that is, the third street, where the low-cost apartments are mainly located.
The Duchy of Notre Dame is a small country, not to mention the northern part of the city, so although Joseph did his best to increase the building area, only 15 low-cost apartments were finally placed, with a total population of 1500.
The low-cost apartments were seven-story buildings with small rooms and simple finishes, and the system offered a total rental price of 1,000 per year per apartment, which was very low for the time being. But Joseph was not prepared to follow the system's advice to collect the rent, what did the royal family need at this time? The hearts of the people.
If he could exchange a year of rent-free apartments for the support of Nordic 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 leveled the road surface, the ordinary apartments are located in the first block (coastal), and the main road surface is the highest level of road options, the specific material is unknown, but has the effect of anti-slip in rain and snow, the overall color of the road surface is dark red.
The apartments are located in the coastal area, while in the middle Joseph reserved the commercial area (the second street), where the unified three-story market building stands.
The market building is built with a commercial classification, in which 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, of course, a wide variety of stores, but there are no raw materials, such as restaurants lack of ingredients, clothing stores lack clothes, banks ...... lacks money.
The only thing that is complete is perhaps only the taxi company, only the lack of drivers, taxi companies can choose the brand of the taxi, for which Joseph paid 100 more, in exchange for ten Mercedes taxis (the rest of the stores can also be changed at a cost, do not change the use of default equipment).
But even so, Joseph still has to feel the construction system is strong and complete, when they only need to open tender to let the whole store can be, North City District can quickly normal operation.
The first street area already has five ordinary apartments, the rest Joseph is ready to allocate here as an industrial area, garment processing factories, transportation companies, ports, slaughterhouses, ship repair yards, everything is given priority to the stores on the North Side, after all, Joseph's hands are not very sufficient funds.
After all, Joseph did not have enough money in his hands. It was already about 3:00 am when everything was finished, and Joseph yawned as he looked at the map and smiled at the group of buildings in North City, but the balance of less than 2.000 made him a bit depressed. The main thing is that the port cost is a bit big, but looking at the attached cruise ship and two cargo ships he can not help but the corners of his mouth.
Joseph left a buffer zone in the middle of the North and Central District, the purpose is not to let the citizens of Nord discover the changes in the North District, tomorrow morning Joseph will arranged for the Praetorian Guard to seal off the place, everything is open again after a month, so that although people will be suspicious but will not have other ideas. (The North Side was previously a no man's land)

Zoe Blanco moved to New York after fleeing the small town she grew up in and the Purity Church that controls it. The Church believes in keeping humanity pure. This means none of the NanoPCs known as Frames or any other cybernetics that most of the rest of the world uses and enjoys everyday. Upon arriving in the Big Apple, Zoe is picked up by her cousin and witnesses a courier weaving their motorcycle through traffic. Zoe envies the courier's freedom. Couriers transport data and on occasion small objects for anyone willing to pay the price. Secured delivery is guaranteed and no questions are asked. Like having a human servant in this corporate owned world, using couriers is seen as a status symbol for the wealthy and corporate elite. New York's criminal underground uses couriers for similar reasons. This gives the hundreds of couriers in NYC steady work. After weeks of not finding a job while living with her aunt and cousin, Zoe turns to her slicing skills to steal credits from the Purity Church and turns to the mob so she can get a loan to pay for the internal secure storage space a courier needs and a frame for herself. After making an unlicensed run or two, Zoe finds employment with a transport company and truly starts her life as a courier. This story is a mix of light scifi, cyberpunk, slice of life, a dash of action, and a smidge of fantasy. Slicing is what hacking is called in this story. Credits are currency in this story.
