Chapter 165 Nord Councilor
PS: Thanks to picky book readers, please call Brother Sheng for a reward if you see it!
There are not many bicycles in Etheld City, and there are not many ordinary cars here, especially Bugatti, Ferrari and other sports cars with relatively low chassis.

It's not that there are no rich people in Esseld City. After all, although these businessmen from Nord are not in the forefront of Nord, they are worth hundreds or tens of millions of euros, and they still have no problem with luxury cars.However, the Western Sahara province is not suitable for these luxury cars, only high-power vehicles such as jeeps and pickups are more popular.

Pickup trucks, in particular, can carry things and run fast. They are simply the favorite of the citizens of the Western Sahara Province. At least every resident interviewed said that the means of transportation they most want to have is a pickup truck.

Joseph did not reveal his identity when he came to Etheld City. Although there were some black-clothed guards around him, in the eyes of others, he was misunderstood as a wealthy businessman from Nord. No one could see that he was the master of this country.

Walking on the somewhat bleak streets, Joseph looked forward to the prosperity here.The bleakness is not due to economic or other reasons, but because the city is too large and the population is too small.

Etheld City has about 20 residents, and the construction here is based on the construction of a large city with a population of 30 to [-]. The streets can run ten cars side by side and are more than [-] meters wide.

You can see young and middle-aged men in sweatshirts and loose trousers everywhere on the street. They are people who have just got off work and are going home. Those who have a little spare money will go to the state-run supermarket next to the street to buy something, and some who have no money are willing to go shopping. Go shopping, because it will increase their desire to work.

Joseph also came to the supermarket with a guard. There were no waiters standing at the door, and even there were not many service staff, just a few introducers and a cashier.Don't worry about security issues, military control is not over yet, and armed helicopters can be seen patrolling the streets from time to time.

"A bottle of white wine!"

In front of the cashier, a local youth in his twenties spoke in unproficient French what he wanted to buy. After a pause, the cashier understood, and then pointed behind him, meaning which one to buy.

"Sixty cents."

The young man didn't understand the prices of these things. He took out one euro to indicate that he could only buy wine for [-] cents. The cashier frowned and thought about it, and took out a bottle of Red Star Erguotou.

"Huaxia, Huaxia wine, tastes good."

Seeing the Red Star Erguotou handed over by the cashier, the young man did not speak but unscrewed the bottle cap, asked a question, and then nodded with bright eyes, obviously he was very satisfied with it.

The young man didn't spend [-] cents to buy wine, but he finally left with satisfaction. Seeing this scene, Joseph thought of the situation in the entire city of Etheld. The problem.

"Sir, what do you want?"

The cashier is a migrant worker from China. She is a young girl. Although she looks average, she is very strong. If she is not strong, she cannot come to Western Sahara alone. Although the salary here is higher, but in terms of safety...

"Are you from Nord?"

"Well, I followed my father and the others to the Principality of Nord in 85. Sir, you are a businessman who came here to invest in Nord!"

Joseph is only fifteen or about to be 16 years old, but he is tall and wears sunglasses. Even though his face is a little immature, he still has a mature demeanor, and he looks like he is in his 20s. Although there are not many businessmen in their 20s, they are not unique. Maybe they came to help the family to check, the cashier thought so.

"You can be regarded as an investment businessman! You came to Etheld City alone?"

"Mr. is referring to the safety issue! Actually, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. This is called by the government! If I stay here for three years, my immigration application will be approved when I go back."

Anyway, there weren't many people here, and it was hard for someone to chat with her. Naturally, she didn't want to miss this opportunity. Of course, the most important thing was that she wanted to get to know a rich and powerful man like Joseph.

"Government call? Do you believe in the Nord government so much?"

Joseph was a little amused, but at the same time he couldn't help being moved. After all, being trusted by others is something to be happy about, especially if the other party has never met a senior government official.

"Of course I believe that the Nord government has always been good to its citizens. I believe that if Western Sahara is really in danger, they will never call. Of course, it cannot be said that there is no danger at all. After all, there is no danger without such a big reward. .”

The big return refers to immigration. Joseph thought that after Nord cancels the welfare, the immigration boom will drop a lot, but looking at the current situation... it is not the case.

"The Nord government has canceled benefits, is it still attractive?"

"At first glance, you are the original citizen of Nord. The Principality of Nord is naturally attractive. Although the welfare is reduced, most of the education and medical expenses are reimbursed. You can still receive a pension at the age of 50. Where can you find such a good thing?"

The little girl clapped her fingers and introduced Joseph's benefits one by one, listening to Joseph's fascination.Indeed, living in Nord is much more leisurely. Those who spend the most on education and medical care don’t have to worry about it. The rest are material and food issues. It’s no wonder that such a country is not attractive.

There are many public welfare nursing homes in Nord. These are free to live in, and food and clothing are reimbursed by the state, and there is some pocket money every year.The only residence condition is that you have made contributions to the Principality of Nord, and you must not have participated in criminal offenses three times, otherwise you will be disqualified, and this is what restricts Nord citizens to abide by the law.

Although Nord's morality has recently declined due to population issues, and there have been some incidents similar to touching porcelain, but soon all of these disappeared, because for such cases, the Nord police always follow 5-000 Punishment, the cost of crime is too high, so high that no one wants to do such a thing again.

Ten successes are only a few hundred euros in income, but once they fall into it, the family will be ruined. Unless the wife and children sever ties with the criminal, and there will be no relief or assistance for the rest of their lives, they will have to pay a fine for the crime. repayment problem.

Things are a bit ruthless, but the other party is doing ruthless things, so there should be such a punishment. In terms of the strictness of the law, Nord is the first.

Of course, wrongful and unjust cases may also arise, but such problems are greatly reduced due to the problem of the parliamentarian system. After all, parliamentarians are elected by the public, and they represent the interests of ordinary citizens, and there is absolutely no possibility of fraud.

Perhaps this is the advantage of the monarchy. The country belongs to the Grand Duke (King). No one expects the country to be prosperous and strong. The government has its own interests. The people behind the parliamentarians are not citizens but the Grand Duke Nord , the election represents public opinion, but without the support of the Grand Duke, it is difficult to guarantee its fairness.

In ancient times, most of the emperors were stupid, because they lacked the understanding of the real situation. In a way, the parliamentarians were the mouthpieces of this voice. They were naturally opposed to government officials, and it was absolutely impossible for them to cover up anything.
