Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 164 Etheld City

The city of Eseld deep in the desert was the administrative center of an autonomous organization at the beginning, but since the Duchy of Nord took over here, everything has changed a lot.

This place is no better than coastal cities. Their innate resources and environment limit their development. Even in cities, the life of residents here is still not much better than those in small towns deep in the desert.

On the second day when the army ruled here, the trucks from Laayoune brought a large amount of beef and grain, and some citizens of Esseld, who had been impoverished for hundreds of years, even bought fine grain and beef for the first time.

The apprehension and confusion disappeared in an instant, and with the sound of the radio, the residents of Etheld City began to feel at ease. Nord had no intention of punishing them. The only thing he had was to develop this place and make them rich.And what they need to pay is loyalty and taxes to the royal family.

There is no war, no death, no conscription, not only in such a short period of time, the government will distribute some relief food to ensure that all jobs will be abolished before being abolished. To be honest, such a good thing is something they have never thought about.It would be false to say that they were loyal to the Nord royal family at this moment, but it was true that they had no other messy thoughts and just wanted to stay here honestly.

Some of those who came from far away countries felt like tears filled their eyes. They originally came to the Principality of Nord, but whoever wanted to come here was detained by the local armed forces. They were enslaved, recruited, and died and diseased at any time. Surrounded by them until this moment... In terms of loyalty, maybe they are real.

Just like a drop of water in the desert, if the person who gives you the same status, then he will be your best friend, and if he is a rich and powerful person, then you will be the most loyal slave, how is this different from the current situation? look alike?
The local residents were nervous, so when the government recruited police officers and basic civil servants, only those immigrants from other countries actively signed up, because they came from Ben Noord, so they didn't have much thought and naturally they were not afraid of investigating anything.

All civil servants need to investigate their backgrounds. Although the Principality of Nord keeps saying that they will no longer pursue the previous affairs, the local residents are still afraid!

From a certain point of view, this is a good thing, a very good thing, because he has basically established the local law and order, and the loyalty of these immigrants who have worked hard for a long time is put aside for the time being. At least there are not too many relatives and friends. Almost nothing.

Can revenge?This may happen, but don't forget that all MPs are born locally, and civil servants don't dare to go too far with them. This is the benefit of checking each other.

"100 construction workers! Men are required, aged 20-50, in good health, strong and strong, with a monthly salary of 200"

"150 people in the garment processing workshop! Females are required, aged 16-50, in good health, not trainable, with a monthly salary of 100"

"30 fitters and machine tool operators! Requires men, 18-50 years old, in good health, and apprentices. The monthly salary of apprentices is 80 per month, and that of regular workers is 260."

……

Fitters, machine tool operators and apprentices in garment processing workshops are different. The former may take a month to operate independently, while the latter can be fully skilled in a day or even half a day. Therefore, apprentices in fitters and machine tool operators are lower than apprentices in garment processing workshops work.

The moment these jobs were posted, the entire city of Exeld was a little ebullient, because they never thought they would have such a high salary, and discussions and exclamations made the entire city center into a mess.

The city of Esseld does not have any industrial base, so wage regulation does not have much impact on some local industries, or in other words, the only local industries have no owners and are in a state of state takeover.

The industry is undoubtedly very profitable, and those who control these are the family members and relatives of the leaders of those organizations. After the city of Eseld returned to the control of the Principality of Nord, these will naturally be classified as state-owned.

Some matching workshops were sold to businessmen from Nord, but what they have to pay for this is to obey the government’s words. At least the salary is what the government helped these local people to win, otherwise they would give dozens of euros. possible.

The businessmen in Nord are also smart. If the government does not give them benefits and asks them to do so, how dare they refuse?You must know that the real core of Nord is under the control of the royal family. It is not a big problem if there are small companies and small workshops like them. It can still be fun with another person.

It is rare to have such an opportunity to curry favor with the government, how could they refuse?Not to mention raising the local labor price, these businessmen have also united to help the government improve the local development, and they are very active in donating money and materials.

It would not be appropriate for Etheld City to be filled with a group of Nord businessmen. It doesn't matter now. Over time, there will inevitably be some resistance in the local area, so it is reasonable to give some opportunities to local residents.

The clothing processing trade worth 3000 million euros is a resource allocated by the city of Esseld. Except for a part of the businessmen from Nord, the remaining 2000 million euros will be allocated to the local area.Banks provide loans, the government provides contracts and helps purchase equipment. If you are bold, you only need to be responsible for recruiting workers.

Of course, these governments did not issue an announcement, but only stated that the Nord Royal Bank Eseld City Branch will provide loans with very low interest. I hope that local residents will seize the opportunity.

Naturally, there are quite a few bold and visionary people. Except for two Americans living here who were rejected for loans, the other dozen local residents all successfully obtained loans ranging from 30 to [-] euros.

There are three women here, the others are all men, and there are only five companies that are going to be engaged in garment processing. The city government of Esseld is also a little embarrassed about this. After all, those who are engaged in other industries need to help them find trade contracts. Difficult, but also need to go back and forth.

When Joseph came to Esseld City, the real Esseld City had entered into a thriving life. What these local residents thought most every day was not how to survive, but to make money and buy food from the state-run supermarket for their wives and children. Beautiful toys, beautiful clothes.

There is no way for the state-run supermarket. After all, it is not easy to transport Nord’s items here, and it is difficult to generate profits by relying on personal strength. After all, Etheld City is too poor, and very few residents can afford it.State-run supermarkets can freely regulate in nearby towns, so there will be some losses, but relatively speaking, it is much less.

The entire town in the depths of Western Sahara, in the eyes of Joseph, looks like China at this time. The supply and marketing agency is the place where the main goods are sold. A bicycle and a piece of chocolate are rare things.
