The news that Bruno was promoted to Duke of Idar made Wooly Denis, Earl of Dale, ecstatic.
Because according to the current immigration rules of Idar territory, the title of any Idar citizen should not exceed the title held by Bruno.
so……
Now that Bruno has become a distinguished Duke, there is no need for him to give up his title of Earl in order to join the Principality of Idar.
The formal immigration application filed by Woolley Dennis, Earl of Dale, was only officially approved after the establishment of the Principality of Idar.
Regarding the issue of aristocratic immigration, although Bruno's performance was not very positive, it was not actually a conflict.
Bruno himself is a noble, so he has always felt that only by forming a balance between the nobles and civilian officials, and making all classes of the Principality of Idar form a joint force, can the land under his rule be better
Good development.
In layman's terms, Bruno's butt is not completely crooked.
Vigorously promoting civilian officials and increasing people's income and minimum living standards can indeed make the Principality of Idar more prosperous, but at the same time, the existence of the aristocratic class is also essential.
After all... allowing the existence of the aristocracy is itself a confirmation of the legitimacy of the Stuart family's rule.
And Bruno really needs help from the Norman nobles.
Civilian officials undoubtedly represent the interests of some civilians, while nobles represent the interests of a small but large family with a large number of contacts, wealth and power.
If Bruno can invest the resources behind the nobles into the construction of the Principality of Idar, it will be tantamount to adding fuel to the development of the Principality of Idar.
You know, just the tolls collected from the nobles in the eastern part of the empire in the past few days are enough to support the construction of several wonders in the Principality of Idar!
As a time traveler, Bruno is used to looking at problems and treating everything with the eyes of his previous life. However, this is a completely different world from the earth after all.
In many cases, the suggestions of Old Ford, Krell and others represented the views of most aristocrats and civilians of this era.
Many of the policies of the Principality of Idar were born from the collision of these two views of different eras. Bruno was extremely cautious in promulgating every measure. He hoped that these policies could be as down-to-earth as possible and adapted to local conditions.
In fact, Bruno had been secretly observing Woolley Dennis, Earl of Dale, for a long time, and the Idar CIA also compiled a lot of background information about the Dennis family and himself.
The Dennis family is a big family in the eastern part of the empire, and Woolley Dennis is one of the few nobles in the eastern part of the empire who has courage and ideas.
According to what Bruno knew, in order to understand everything that was happening in the Idar Territory, the Earl actually traveled to most of the Idar Territory during this period, and even went to the construction site in the Idar Territory in person.
Square.
Not to mention anything else, just being able to look at the people with a straight face is something that many nobles cannot possess.
It is precisely because of these,
Bruno personally approved the immigration application submitted by Woolley Dennis, Earl of Dale.
…
Count Dale's carriage traveled slowly on the wide Idar Avenue.
The road paved with cement is extremely smooth, without even the slightest bump.
If this were in other cities, the spring rain that had just ended would have filled the city with mud, allowing the feces and soil to be fully mixed.
However, in Idar City, the rainwater that fell on the ground has long flowed slowly out of the city along the drainage channels on both sides of the road. The hardened ground becomes even more precious after the wind and rain.
in the carriage,
Earl Dale was closing his eyes and concentrating, while Mrs. Dennis opened a gap in the curtain beside the car window and took a serious look at the city for the first time.
When the Earl of Dale first proposed to give up his ownership of the Dale Hill area and immigrate to the Idar Territory, Mrs. Denis's expression was like this:
(*￣︿￣)
However, when the news of the defeat of the Odin people came, Mrs. Dennis's expression changed like this:
(#°Д°)
Until the Principality of Idar was formally established and Count Idar became Duke of Idar, Mrs. Denis's expression became like this:
w(?Д?)w
At this moment, Mrs. Denis has no reason to block Earl Dale's decision to immigrate to the Principality of Idar.
after all……
This is a powerful principality that can beat up the Odin Empire!
Compared to the interior of the Norman Empire, which was in the middle of a civil war, she felt safer here.
As for the land…
Although she still feels pity and pain, she is also a clear-headed person, and some things... always have to be paid for.
Therefore, Mrs. Dennis, who had never seriously looked at this land, had full curiosity in her eyes at this time.
She really wanted to know what was so different about this land, why it could keep out the powerful Odin people, and why it could take away the fat in front of the Odin people.
The road that runs through Idar in the north-south direction is Idar Avenue, and the road that runs through Idar city in the east-west direction is called Jingshi Road.
When the carriage turned the corner and came to Jingshi Road, there were obviously fewer pedestrians on the road.
This is not only the headquarters of the Idar Immigration Administration, but also the offices of the Idar Public Security Bureau, the Idar Central Intelligence Agency and other core security departments in Idar.
Although most of the pavilion buildings on the street looked quite old, for some reason, Earl Dale always felt a vague sense of oppression when the carriage drove on Jingshi Road.
The carriage stopped in the small square in front of the Idar Immigration Administration.
This is the purpose of Earl Dale's trip.
Although the Idar Immigration Administration has approved Earl Dale’s immigration application, the completion of the application is only the first step in immigrating to Idar territory.
The fees to be paid, the promises to be fulfilled...
All of the above must be completed after the application is approved.
Bruno also knows that it is obviously unrealistic to let these aristocratic gentlemen who have never paid attention to these things personally to invest and create jobs.
so,
In order to allow the nobles who immigrated to the Principality of Idar to better adapt to and accept everything in the Idar Territory, and to truly implement the investments of these nobles and create more jobs...
Bruno set up a brand new agency under the Idar Immigration Administration and called it the Noble Asset Management Department!
As the name suggests,
The Noble Asset Management Department is an organization specifically responsible for providing investment consulting and asset management services to the aristocratic gentlemen who immigrated to Idar Territory. It was also established to effectively control the market order when the economic system of Idar Territory was not perfect enough.
The current economic model of the Principality of Idar is somewhat similar to the state capitalism of the previous life, but it is not the same.
The Stuart family dominated and participated in all walks of life in the Principality of Idar.
From heavy industries such as the Idar Steel Factory and the Grand Highland Arsenal, to rose essential oil production workshops, breweries and other industries that can bring huge economic benefits to the Principality of Idar, there are people behind almost all industries in the Principality of Idar.
Figures of the Stuart family.
The purpose of the Noble Asset Management Department is to build a more complete business system for the Principality of Idar by absorbing the funds and connections of other nobles.
"In accordance with the requirements of the immigration guidelines, you now need to pay a total of one thousand six hundred and sixty-six gold coins in immigration tax."
In a living room on the second floor of the Idar Immigration Administration, Lister, the director of the Idar Immigration Administration, was sitting opposite Earl Dale.
In fact, this kind of immigration process does not require Liszt to handle it personally, but... Earl Dale is after all the first nobleman to immigrate to the Idar Territory, which is of extraordinary significance in every aspect.
To Bruno, the noble lords of the Norman Empire were like walking piggy banks. You could never figure out how much money could be squeezed out of these nobles.
Therefore, taking advantage of the precious opportunity when the interior of the empire was plunged into war, Bruno had changed his original idea of shutting out nobles from other places.
If you want to promote the development of magic industrialization as soon as possible, if you want to realize the prosperity and strength of the Principality of Idar as soon as possible, if you want to increase the strength of the Principality of Idar as soon as possible and welcome the arrival of the Age of Discovery, all of this cannot be separated from the support of a large amount of money.
.
The nobles of the Norman Empire are undoubtedly the richest group of people in the world!
Since it has been decided to gradually begin to accept the nobles who come to seek refuge, as the first noble to immigrate, the Principality of Idar needs to set an example of successful immigration!
"The money is ready, just leave it downstairs." Earl Dale's tone was quite painful.
Liszt nodded, and then introduced some matters that need to be paid attention to when immigrating to the Idar Territory, clarified the laws of the Idar Territory, and then signed a contract to give up the claim to the original noble territory.
Before deciding to immigrate, Delber had already inquired about these matters clearly, so it was just a matter of going through the process hastily and allowing the reporter from Merlin News Agency sitting in the corner to accumulate some information.
"...and the most important thing is to provide jobs for the people." Liszt finally said.
"I am willing to hand over these assets to the Noble Asset Management Department for operation, and unconditionally support any decision made by Lord Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar!"
When it comes to creating jobs, Earl Dale is very smart.
On the one hand, it's because he himself doesn't understand things like creating jobs, but on the other hand...since he has decided to tie himself to the Principality of Idar, he naturally has to express his attitude.
Anyway...
Even if I lose this money, I can still afford it.
The immigration tax of more than a thousand gold coins has been paid, and it is not less than three melons and two dates.
"Don't worry, the Asset Management Department will have dedicated staff to contact you to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of the nobles to the greatest extent." Liszt seemed to understand what Earl Dale was thinking and said with confidence.
"This is the service specialist assigned to you by the Noble Asset Management Department. Regarding the specific investment operations... Your Excellency, you can have a detailed chat with him." Liszt pointed to the young man standing aside and added.
"James Doyle is at your service, your honorable Earl." The young official at the side greeted politely.
Hearing this, Earl Dale couldn't help but nodded.
Although this young man named James Doyle was simply dressed, he was neat and tidy and looked very energetic.
He is probably... also one of the countless civilian officials in the Principality of Idar...
After the agreement was signed, Liszt said goodbye and left. He wanted Bruno to report everything that happened here.
The rest of the time was naturally handed over to James Doyle.
"Lord Earl, in order to provide enough jobs, we have two investment models for you to choose from." James Doyle was the first to speak.
"oh?"
"The first way is to operate your investment independently. We can help you find suitable land and introduce you to the current market industry conditions of the Principality of Idar. It is up to you to decide the use and income and expenditure of these funds. As long as you
This investment can provide enough jobs for the Principality of Idar, as long as it abides by the relevant laws of Idar."
"As for the second investment method... you will use part of your money to jointly operate a certain industry or chamber of commerce with Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar. However, in this model, you can only invest according to your investment."
Enjoy the right to dividends proportionately.”
As soon as James Doyle finished speaking, Woolley Dennis said without thinking: "I have always admired Master Bruno, and I also have strong expectations for the Principality of Idar, so... I chose the second mode, with
The Duke operates it together."
That’s right!
The second investment model provided by the Asset Management Division to Earl Dale is exactly what Bruno hoped for!
This will indeed give a large part of the profits to the nobles of the Norman Empire, but at the same time, it will allow Bruno to use the least money to provide more jobs for the people of Idar and build a more complete industrial system.
Or industry chamber of commerce.
Moreover, the cooperation with Viscount Conte in the Moor wine industry also proved to Bruno the feasibility and reliability of this model.
As long as Bruno can ensure that the Stuart family has absolute control over the pillar industries of the Principality of Idar, then the money of the nobles will only become a driving force for the active market economy of Idar.
"Although it is the second investment model, the specific investment plan still needs to be explained clearly to you, so...if it is convenient, I hope you can go with me for an on-site inspection before making a decision." James Doyle replied.
