Chapter 300 The First Noble Immigrant (Two in One! Please subscribe!)
The news that Bruno was promoted to Duke of Idar made Earl Dale Woolley Dennis ecstatic.
Because according to the current immigration rules of Idar, the title of any Idar citizen should not exceed that held by Bruno.
so……
Since Bruno has become a noble 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 Earl Woolley Dennis of Dale was only officially approved and effective after the establishment of the Principality of Idar.
Although Bruno was not very positive about the immigration of the nobility, he was not actually against it.
Bruno himself was a nobleman, so he always felt that only by forming a balance between nobles and civilian officials and making all classes in the Principality of Idar work together could the land under his rule develop better.
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 increasingly prosperous, but at the same time, the existence of the aristocracy is also indispensable.
After all... allowing the existence of the aristocracy is itself a recognition of the legitimacy of the Stuart family's rule.
And Bruno really needs the help of the Norman nobles.
Civilian officials undoubtedly represent the interests of a part of the common people, while the nobles represent the interests of a small number of large families with abundant connections, wealth and power.
If Bruno could invest the resources behind the nobles into the construction of the Principality of Idar, it would be tantamount to adding fuel to the development of the Principality of Idar.
You know, the tolls collected from the nobles in the eastern part of the empire a few days ago 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, but this is a different world from the earth after all.
In many cases, the suggestions of old Ford, Clare and others represented the views of most nobles and common people of that era.
Many policies of the Principality of Idar were generated from the collision of views from these two different eras. Bruno was extremely cautious in the promulgation of each measure. He hoped that these policies could be as down-to-earth as possible and be adapted to local conditions.
In fact, Bruno had been secretly observing Earl Dale Woolley Dennis for a long time, and the Idar CIA had also compiled a lot of background information about Dennis' family and him.
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 is courageous and has ideas.
According to what Bruno knew, in order to understand everything that was happening in Idar County, the Earl actually traveled across most of Idar County during this period of time, and even went to the construction sites and workshops in Idar County in person.
Not to mention anything else, just the ability to look at the people squarely is something that many nobles do not possess.
It was precisely because of these that Bruno personally approved the immigration application submitted by Earl Dale Woolley Dennis.
…
Count Dale's carriage moved slowly along the wide Idar Avenue.
The cement road was extremely smooth, without even the slightest bump.
If this were in other cities, the spring rain that had just ended would have made the city full of mud, allowing the sewage and soil to be fully mixed.
But in the city of Idar, the rainwater that fell on the ground had already slowly flowed out of the city along the drainage ditches on both sides of the road. The hardened ground became even more precious after the wind and rain.
In the carriage, Earl Dale was resting with his eyes closed, while Mrs. Dennis opened the curtain beside the window a little and looked at the city seriously for the first time.
When Earl Dale first proposed to give up his ownership of the Dale Hills and immigrate to Idal County, Lady Denis's expression was like this:
(*￣︿￣) However, when the news of the Odin people's defeat came, Mrs. Denis's expression became like this: (＃°Д°) Until the Idar Principality was officially established and Count Idar became Duke Idar, Mrs. Denis's expression became like this:
w(Д)wAt this moment, Mrs. Denis no longer had any reason to stop Earl Dale from making the decision to immigrate to the Principality of Idar.
after all……
This is a powerful principality that can give the Odin Empire a beating!
Compared to the inland of the Norman Empire, which was in the midst of a civil war, she felt safer here.
As for the land...
Although she still felt regretful and painful, she was a clear-headed person. Some things... always require a price to be paid.
So, Mrs. Dennis, who had never taken a serious look at this land, now had a look of curiosity in her eyes.
She really wanted to know what was so different about this land, why it could keep the powerful Odin out, and why it could snatch away the fat meat in front of Odin.
The road that runs through Idar from north to south is Idar Avenue, and the road that runs through the city of Idar from east to west is called Jingshi Road.
When the carriage turned the corner and arrived at Jingshi Road, there were obviously fewer pedestrians on the road.
This is not only the headquarters of the Idar Immigration Administration, but also the office location of Idar's core security departments such as the Idar Public Security Bureau and the Idar Central Intelligence Agency.
Although most of the buildings on the street looked quite old, Earl Dale somehow always felt a vague sense of oppression when the carriage was driving 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 the Idar Territory.
Fees to be paid, promises to be fulfilled...
All of the above must be completed after the application is approved.
Bruno also knew that it was obviously unrealistic to ask these noble lords who had never paid attention to these things in their daily lives to take action themselves, invest, and create jobs.
Therefore, in order to allow the nobles who immigrated to the Principality of Idar to better adapt to and accept everything in Idar, and to truly put the investment of these nobles into practice 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 institution that is specifically responsible for providing investment consulting and asset management services to the noble lords who immigrated to Idar Territory. It was also established to effectively control the market order when the economic system of Idar Territory was not yet perfect.
The current economic model of the Principality of Idar is somewhat similar to the state capitalism of the previous life, but it is not exactly 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 Plant and the Gran Highlands Arsenal to rose essential oil production workshops, winemaking workshops and other industries that can bring huge economic benefits to the Principality of Idar, the Stuart family is behind almost all industries in the Principality of Idar.
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.
"According to the immigration regulations, you now need to pay a total of 1,666 gold coins in immigration tax."
In a reception 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 Lister to be handled personally, but... Earl Dale is the first noble to immigrate to Idar County after all, which has extraordinary significance from any aspect.
To Bruno, the nobles of the Norman Empire were like walking piggy banks. You could never figure out how much money you could squeeze out of these nobles.
Therefore, taking advantage of the precious opportunity when the inland of the empire was plunged into war, Bruno had changed his original idea of keeping out nobles from other places.
If we want to promote the development of magic industrialization as quickly as possible, realize the prosperity and strength of the Principality of Idar as soon as possible, enhance the strength of the Principality of Idar as soon as possible and welcome the arrival of the Age of Navigation, all this requires a lot of financial support.
The nobles of the Norman Empire are undoubtedly the richest group of people in the world!
Since it has been decided to gradually begin accepting nobles who come to seek refuge, then as the first noble immigrant, the Principality of Idar needs to set an example of successful immigration!
"The money is ready and is downstairs." Earl Dale said with some pain in his tone.
Lister nodded, and then introduced some matters that immigrants to Idar Territory needed to pay attention to, explained the laws of Idar Territory, and then signed a contract to give up the claim to the original noble territory.
Before deciding to immigrate, Delber had already found out all about these matters, so he just went through the process quickly and allowed the reporter from Merlin News Agency sitting in the corner to accumulate some materials.
"...and the most important thing is to provide jobs for the people." Lister finally said.
"I am willing to hand over these assets to the Noble Asset Management Department for operation, and I will unconditionally support any decision made by Lord Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar!"
When it comes to creating jobs, Lord Dale is very smart.
On the one hand, it was because he himself didn't quite understand things like creating jobs, and on the other hand... since he had decided to tie himself to the Principality of Idar, he naturally had to make his attitude clear.
Anyway...
Even if I lose this money, I can totally afford it.
I have already paid the immigration tax of more than one thousand gold coins, so these few small things won't make a difference.
"Don't worry, the Asset Management Department will have dedicated staff to connect with you and guarantee the legitimate rights and interests of the nobles to the greatest extent." Lister seemed to see what Earl Dale was thinking and said confidently.
"This is the service specialist assigned to you by the Noble Asset Management Department. Regarding the specific investment operations... Your Excellency the Earl can talk to him in detail." Lister pointed to the young man standing aside and added.
"James Doyle is at your service, Your Excellency the Earl." The young civil servant ape on the side greeted politely.
Hearing this, Earl Dale couldn't help but nodded.
Although this young man named James Doyle was dressed simply, he was neat and tidy and looked very energetic.
He is probably... one of the countless civilian officials in the Principality of Idar...
After the agreement was signed, Lister said goodbye and left. He wanted to report to Bruno everything that happened here.
The remaining time naturally fell into the hands of James Doyle.
"My Lord Earl, in order to provide enough jobs, we have two investment models for you to choose from." James Doyle spoke first.
"oh?"
"The first way is to operate your investment independently. We can help you find suitable land and introduce you to the current market and industry conditions of the Principality of Idar. You can decide on the use and income and expenditure of these funds by yourself. As long as your investment can provide enough jobs for the Principality of Idar and comply with the relevant laws of Idar, it will be fine."
"As for the second investment method... you take out a portion of your money and jointly run a certain industry or chamber of commerce with Lord Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar. However, in this model, you can only enjoy the right to dividends based on the proportion of your investment."
As soon as James Doyle finished speaking, Woolley Dennis said without thinking: "I have always admired Lord Bruno and have strong expectations for the Principality of Idar, so... I choose the second model and run it together with His Excellency the Duke."
That’s right!
The second investment model provided by the Asset Management Department to Earl Dale was exactly what Bruno wanted! This would indeed give a large part of the profits to the nobles of the Norman Empire, but at the same time, it would 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 on Moore Wine Industry also proved to Bruno the feasibility and reliability of this model.
As long as Bruno can ensure the Stuart family's absolute control over the pillar industries of the Principality of Idar, the money of the nobles will only become a driving force for the activation of Idar's market economy.
"Although it is the second investment model, the specific investment plan still needs to be explained to you clearly, so... if it is convenient, I hope you can go with me for a field investigation before making a decision." James Doyle replied.
First of all, I have to admit my mistake. I accidentally opened CK3, and then... everyone knows the nature of Paradox games. I will try to update again, but it may be late...
(By the way, does anyone know how to resolve the Freedom Rebellion when the new king ascends the throne? I chose the Netherlands, and there are no pagans to be killed...) (End of this chapter)
