Bulgarian Empire

With Ferdinand's order, the Bulgarian government's statistics book added more than two million people.

As of the national census at the end of 19o6, the population of Bulgaria reached 10,000, which is not far from Ferdinand's goal of 20 million before 1914!

Everyone is voluntary this time. After obtaining Bulgarian citizenship, there are real benefits! Even if you can see it, you can touch it. The capitalists can no longer exploit them recklessly!

First of all, within the scope stipulated by the labor law, the protection they enjoy is more comprehensive. For example, in terms of wages, they can also enjoy the minimum wage in Bulgaria, and they don't have to worry about being dismissed casually by the company.

There are also capitalists, you can no longer ask them to work overtime for free, otherwise you can report it, and once it is verified, you will be paid ten times the standard, and the capitalists will also face jail time!

Of course, this is also because the Bulgarian economy is growing rapidly. Even if this part of the expenditure is increased, the company can afford it!

This is the core reason why Ferdinand chose to solve the immigration nationality issue now!

Otherwise, after the Russo-Japanese War is over and the economy gradually returns to normal, it will be difficult to solve this problem!

After all, this is to increase the cost of the enterprise. When the economic situation is good, the increase will increase, and everyone can bear it. After that, the enterprise and the market will adjust themselves!

After all, the increase in the income of this group of people also means that their purchasing power has increased, which will help increase domestic demand, and the Bulgarian local market will also expand accordingly, and then back to the enterprise, this is also a virtuous economic cycle!

If the economic situation is not good, it is not easy for enterprises to survive. If they want to increase their expenses, won't they force them to go bankrupt?

Oh, this only works in a country like Bulgaria where capitalists have little right to speak. If it was changed to other European countries at that time, capitalists would probably choose to ignore such laws and regulations!

If it's left in the Republic, it's a big deal to impeach the government. It's not like they haven't done things like overthrowing the cabinet! Now that there is no threat from the Soviet Union, why raise your own costs?

This is also the reason why Ferdinand wants to engage in nationalism. The government can control the country to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it can also handle the domestic class conflicts to the greatest extent!

...

In fact, the 20 million population target set by Ferdinand has also put a lot of pressure on the Bulgarian government.

It is necessary to complete the task and ensure the purity of the population. At least the language and culture must be consistent, and the religious and folk customs must not deviate!

In addition to encouraging children, the only way left is to emigrate. It's a pity that there were restrictions on immigration before. Basically, the government introduced a batch of labor because there was a shortage of people in the market.

In this way, social stability is guaranteed very well. After all, the immigrants from Russia are all working people through and through. As long as they have jobs and food, they are great citizens!

Similarly, the road to quickly increase the population by immigration has been blocked!

After the Balkan War, due to the increase of the domestic population, Ferdinand revised the immigration law in order to ensure the employment of the domestic people.

The new law stipulates that the introduction of immigrants must ensure employment, and similar language, culture, and customs.

And you must have no criminal record, no bad thoughts, and stable work for more than ten years in Bulgaria before you can obtain nationality!

Oh, except for scarce talents, such as senior engineers, scientists, doctors, etc., there are no restrictions!

Under so many restrictive conditions, it is undoubtedly unrealistic to want to increase the population rapidly!

What Ferdinand let go this time undoubtedly gave the officials of the Population and Migration Agency a chance!

Aren't these immigrants now going back to their hometowns to "visit relatives"? It can also be said to be "marrying", after all, so many bachelors always have to solve personal problems!

Then their other half,

Of course, there is no limit to joining Bulgaria, this is just what people need!

Similarly, if their immediate family members want to immigrate to Bulgaria, the government also has to open a hole, otherwise it makes no sense!

Based on the current calculation of more than two million Russian immigrants, if their significant other and their immediate family members are included, this number is huge enough, right?

Only one-fifth, or even one-tenth of them, is enough to complete Ferdinand's mission! This is much more effective than slowly encouraging births!

According to the current Bulgarian government's standards for promoting cadres, such a major task has been completed several years in advance, everyone is ready to be promoted collectively!

For the sake of political achievements, the enthusiasm of the bureaucrats has suddenly increased a lot. They took the initiative to do ideological work for these "Bulgarian people" who returned home to visit their relatives, and made a promise that they would be responsible for helping their relatives and friends solve employment problems!

And this time the requirements are not high, as long as there is no criminal record, the language and culture are interlinked, and there is no ideological problem, the government will give the green light!

This is also a common problem of bureaucrats all over the world. In the face of political achievements, their potential can always be stimulated.

Not only have they thought of a way to attract people, but they have also been able to think of a solution to the problem of job placement, which is a headache for the entire capitalist world, and it can be seen that the potential of bureaucrats is unlimited!

Oh, this is what everyone learned from Ferdinand. Bulgaria has already had two five-year plans, so it might not be difficult to create another "three-five-year plan", right?

Everyone is prepared. Ferdinand's mind has been understood to some extent by the people below. As long as it is a policy that benefits the country and the people, it is the policy that the king likes! There is always nothing wrong with doing things along this line!

Ferdinand had wanted to do the "Three-Five Plan" for a long time, but unfortunately he never had the chance! First came the Balkan War, then the Great Immigration, then the economic crisis, and then the "Russian-Japanese War". It can be said that the Bulgarian government has been very busy in recent years!

The more critical thing is "poor". The government has too many things to do, and the money is naturally not enough!

With the current size of Bulgaria's economy, it is really impossible to implement a national "three-five-year plan" without the funds of two or three billion levs!

If it's just a small fight, the government has been doing it all the time now, and Ferdinand has no need to add more things to the snake!

Everyone knows that the Bulgarian government has always been heavily in debt. The huge foreign debts are so overwhelming that the government dare not make any big moves. But with the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, all this changed!

Since 1904, Bulgaria's trade volume with Russia has increased dramatically, and it has always maintained a trade surplus!

In 1904, Bulgaria's trade surplus with Russia was as high as 120 million rubles (about 10,000 pounds, or 317 million levs);

By 19o5, affected by the general strike in Russia, the trade surplus with Russia directly increased to 370 million rubles (about 10,000 pounds, or 978 million levs);

The final results for 19o6 have not yet come out, but everyone knows that the number is still growing!

In just over two years, the international foreign debt of the Bulgarian government has been directly reduced by half. If the "Russian-Japanese War" continues, then in 1907, the Bulgarian government can pay off all the debts!

Oh, this is not an early repayment of the loan. International loans in this era are Bawang loans, and interest is indispensable for early repayment!

This kind of operation is just a transfer of creditor's rights, and the French hope to control more of Mao Xiong's creditor's rights to strengthen financial control over Russia!

Bulgaria hopes to pay off its foreign debts as soon as possible, otherwise it holds a large amount of rubles in its hands, Ferdinand said that he will not be able to sleep!

Who knows if Mao Xiong will have a ruble depreciation, anyway, he can't trust the integrity of the tsarist government, if he really gives birth, where will he cry?

So with everyone's wishes, the French took over Bulgaria and used these rubles to repay the loan, and then converted them into Russian debts by purchasing Russian debts!

Of course, the Bulgarian government repaid a large amount of loans this time, but this does not mean that the Bulgarian government really made so much money in this war.

This is impossible, the Russians are not Japanese, and Bulgaria is not the British Empire. This kind of rip-off is still impossible!

In fact, this is nothing more than the government using the foreign exchange earned from exports to pay off debts, while it is Lev that pays domestic companies.

This can also be regarded as an operation in financial foreign exchange. In short, the foreign debt of the Bulgarian government has begun to plummet, and the debt crisis is now resolved!

Of course, insider trading is also indispensable in this, otherwise the usury empire would not be so easy to talk about!

Simply put, Bulgaria and France have formed an alliance, or another Bulgaria has been added to the French-Russian Entente, and the Entente between the two countries has become a Triple Entente!

After all, the Russians are out of shape now, and they are still fighting the Japanese in the Far East. They no longer have enough strength to suppress the Germans!

The balance of Europe 6 has been broken, the Allied Powers are already at a disadvantage, and the strategic security of the French on the European continent can no longer be guaranteed. This makes the French government very worried!

Although Bulgaria is a little weaker, it is second only to the six major powers in the European continent. For the French who urgently need allies, they must win over!

Of course, to deal with the difficult task of the Germans, let the French do it themselves, or the Russians can do it, Bulgaria is still out of reach!

The treaty stipulates: Once a war breaks out in the European continent, the Bulgarians must participate in the war, and they must join forces with the Russians to deal with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. At least one and a half million troops of the Austro-Hungarian Empire must be restrained before the mission can be considered complete!

On this point, Ferdinand said that there is no problem. What the Serbs could do in history, there is no reason why Bulgaria cannot do it now!

Anyway, due to the existence of the Bulgaria-Russia Alliance, it is impossible for Bulgaria to be alone. Rather than being dragged down, it is better to use this as a deal, and forget it in exchange for some benefits!

In return, the early repayment of the loan is only part of it, and Bulgaria's overseas interests will also be protected by the French government.

Although Bulgaria has almost no overseas interests now, Ferdinand still proposed it!

It doesn’t have it now, and it doesn’t mean it won’t exist in the future. France is still the world’s second-largest naval power these days, and its international deterrence is still leveraged. Both sides can get what they need!
