Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 136 Oasis Town
The oasis town is full of construction machinery, and the local residents are actively building their own houses.These residents came from a small village not far away, and being able to move here is obviously something they dreamed of.

The oasis is centered on an artificial lake, and along the banks of the lake are lush green grass and palm trees that shield the creatures from the hot sun. The oasis town is built not far from the oasis.

The food here will be mainly coconuts, supplemented by farming. Although Joseph also gave each oasis town dozens of acres of plantable land, these dozens of acres obviously cannot be used as the main food here. for improvement.

A small town of 300 people is naturally not too big, and the project is much simpler. With the help of these machines, they may all be able to move here in less than half a year. Under the leadership of the local mayor, Joseph visited most of the plants on the oasis. and the construction progress of the town.

There are not many foreign workers here, and most of them are local residents.Of course, they have no salary, and will only give a house of about 60 square meters and a few goats as rewards after completion.

The dozens of acres of land on the oasis are owned by the local government. The food grown will be distributed to the public servants here, and the rest will be traded. The coconuts on the coconut trees are the same as the fish in the artificial lake. in this way.

"Your Majesty, the fish and freshwater prawns are mainly farmed here. According to the estimation of the agricultural consultant in the town, we will be able to carry out the first fishing work in four months."

The mayor of the town explained is a local Arab. He is in his 50s and has a high reputation in the village. For the time being, the mayors of these oasis towns will be local residents with high morals. power so that they do no harm.

The poorer the place, the more important it is for intellectuals, and the Nord Principality has been implementing a moderate policy since it took over here.Not to mention other things, the obvious improvement in the quality of life has made most of the local residents have no dislike for the Principality of Nord, except for those racial elements and extremists, but they only occupy a small part and do not pose a threat.

Because of the emphasis on intellectuals, the life of consultants here is far better than that in Nord. When they were in Nord, they were just ordinary high school graduates and college graduates. How much knowledge is there in the Principality of Nord? Like a dog, it is not an exaggeration to walk all over the ground. How can there be such a carefree life here?

"How about electricity?"

The desert environment has caused serious damage to the line, so it is not practical to expect the line to come from Laayoune. After all, it is not just as simple as one place. The entire Western Sahara region will have to solve the power problem in the future.

"Solar panels have been laid, but they are still being debugged. Residents are not yet used to electricity, and it will take some time to popularize it."

The Western Sahara region is a place of extreme poverty, and there is even a basic understanding of electricity here, which is just understanding rather than application.

"James, go back and inform Marceau, let her arrange to recycle some old TV sets and radio equipment, and the money can be directly deducted from the taxes of these small towns. You have no objections!"

Joseph's last sentence was addressed to the mayor of the town. How could the mayor of the town refuse such a proposal?Thanking Joseph full of joy, the TV is still a rare thing for the mayor of the town, and now they may also own it, although it is second-hand, but it is very exciting.

The local residents on the construction site were in full swing, and the engineers were planning and discussing on the sidelines. Although the residents were reluctant to put down their work when Joseph arrived, they still saluted Joseph respectfully.

They naturally know Joseph, and the back of the coin is Joseph's head portrait, which may be the real value and meaning of the head portrait on the currency.

With the construction of oasis towns one after another, the surrender of the residents of Western Sahara became more and more obvious. They were grateful to Joseph from the bottom of their hearts, even though Joseph was an "aggressor" in some propaganda.

In fact, in any other place, the residents would not surrender so smoothly. After all, they have faith and a country in their hearts. Even if they are given more benefits and benefits, they will still feel awkward and resentful in their hearts.But Western Sahara is different. There are different beliefs here, but they don't have a country.

Spanish immigrants, Moroccan immigrants, and native residents of the Western Sahara region, if there is a real country, then only those native residents of the Western Sahara region, but they have not belonged to their own country for too long, and they do not have too obvious rule, so There is no concept of country in their minds at all.

Needless to say, the Spanish immigrants are the ones who look forward to the rule of the Principality of Nordland most. After all, the Principality of Nordland is more intimate to them than the Kingdom of Morocco.

Moroccan immigrants?Let’s not say that the Kingdom of Morocco sold this place to the Principality of Nord, and that Morocco already has a compensation policy and allows them to return to the country, but they covet the welfare of the Principality of Nord and do not leave, so they don’t have much anger and complaints in their hearts.

Of course, they also have dissatisfaction, that is, the benefits of the Principality of Nord are not available here.The head of Alam was very dissatisfied and had no choice. After all, the two agreed that the Arabs would not be discriminated against in this land and enjoy all the treatment of Nord citizens.

Naturally, they have already enjoyed it now. As for the benefits?Now that the Principality of Nord has canceled its own high welfare, what else can Dean Alma say?However, it is impossible to completely cancel benefits, at least there is still pension insurance, and most of the medical care and education are exempted, which is not much different from free schooling and medical treatment.

The same is true in the Western Sahara region. An annual medical examination, a security fund sufficient to support a family at the age of 50, and nearly 90.00% exemption from education and medical care are enough to make citizens of any country feel grateful.

In fact, the annual investment in medical treatment does not need too much money at all. Most of the vegetables, melons and fruits in the Principality of Nord are pollution-free. Cattle and sheep also appear on the market through strict procedures. It is difficult for diseases to disappear under the condition of good sanitation. The Duchy of Nord breeds.And now that the Principality of Nord advocates health-preserving exercises such as yoga and Tai Chi on a large scale, it is not easy to improve immunity and get sick.

According to the Ministry of Health of the Principality of Nord, the number of patients seen in the hospital during the whole year of 1984 was less than [-]. Of course, this does not mean that the hospital of the Principality of Nord has few patients.Due to the level of medical treatment, seriously ill patients in many European countries like to come to Nord for medical treatment. After all, a large number of special medicines on the market now come from the Principality of Nord.

This is the case with medical care, and there is no need to say much about education. If the colleges with hundreds of well-known professors cannot occupy a certain position, then it can only be said that European schools are too powerful and too competitive.
