Bulgarian Empire

As of 1909, the total population of Bulgaria had increased to 10,000, an increase of 1.7989 million compared with 1907. The natural population growth was 1.1826 million.

However, due to the stabilization of the domestic situation in Russia, the number of immigrants has dropped significantly after entering 1908.

By 1909, most of the immigrants from Russia were wives brought back to visit relatives in their hometowns, and there were very few children who moved with their families.

After all, when the situation is stable, few people are willing to leave their homes. And this is also related to the traditional culture of Europeans. Basically, the eldest son inherits the family business, and the second son goes out to make a living.

Going out of the house is equivalent to setting up your own family. Unless it is a last resort, parents will not take the whole family to seek refuge!

However, Ferdinand was also satisfied. According to this rate, it is almost enough. After all, immigrants also need time to integrate. If there is too much increase at one time, it is also a problem for resettlement. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Under normal circumstances, after the promulgation of the "Family Planning Law", Bulgaria will definitely experience a period of explosive population growth in the next few years. Ferdinand has no doubts about this, and this is also related to Bulgaria's population structure.

Since Ferdinand took the throne, he has been implementing the national policy of encouraging births for a long time. Although the previous efforts were not as strong as they are now, the effect is still obvious!

Comparing the historical data of the previous life, it will be found that since Ferdinand succeeded to the throne, Bulgaria's birth rate has increased by 0.1% to 0.9% compared with the same period in history, which is basically the same as that of Russia in the same period, and the birth rate has remained at 4.26 %～5.32%, this number is already very good!

Newborns born before 1892, who were just affected by his population policy, are now at the right age for childbearing, and this situation will continue for many years.

Moreover, most of the immigrants introduced from Russia are mainly young and strong. For a long time in the future, Bulgarian society will be dominated by young people. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

The greater the number of people of childbearing age, the more obvious the population stimulus policy will be. The future birth rate will definitely skyrocket, and may even set a world record!

In fact, among women in Eastern Europe, there are not a few mothers who have five or six children, but due to medical conditions and living standards, there are not many who can support them!

Bulgaria has done a good job in this regard. The survival rate of newborn babies has remained at about 95%, which is much higher than the 84% in the Kingdom of Montenegro! (Remarks: This survival rate is only for those who do not die within a year, and those who can actually grow up to adults may be less than two-thirds)

Oh, Ferdinand also banned the sale of all contraceptives nationwide, and even condoms were prohibited from being sold in the market unless it was a special place.

As for abortion, probably no doctor in Bulgaria dares to do it now. According to the new law, the baby in the womb of a pregnant woman is still alive, and abortion is a crime of intentional homicide. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

If abortion is necessary under special circumstances, it must also be reported to the government department. Otherwise, they will be charged with intentional homicide by the police. Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to defy the law!

Well, in order to increase the population, Ferdinand has racked his brains. Even so, the total population of Bulgaria is still far behind that of the great powers!

The total population of Bulgaria compared to the great powers of the same period:

equivalent to two-thirds of the total population of Italy;

Equivalent to 56% of the total French population;

equivalent to half of the UK's total population;

equivalent to forty-five percent of the total population of the Austro-Hungarian Empire;

Equivalent to 43% of the total population of Japan;

Equivalent to one-third of the total population of Germany; \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

equivalent to a quarter of the total U.S. population;

This is equivalent to fourteen percent of the total population of Russia.

(The population loss caused by the butterfly effect is deducted)

Overall, Bulgaria still has a long way to go demographically. Theoretically, with the current population growth rate of Bulgaria, when the world war breaks out, the total population can reach about 27 million.

In fact, due to various reasons, the population growth rate may be faster, but it is undoubtedly a dream to break through 30 million!

Oh, if the population of the colonies is added, this number can be easily made up. Obviously Ferdinand would not do this!

Compared with the population, Bulgaria's other data are still barely passable. The processing and manufacturing industry has surpassed Italy. The total mileage of railways in the country is now equal to that of Italy. The output of heavy industries such as steel and coal is far away from Italy. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

To put it simply, in addition to population, Bulgaria has now caught up with the Italians, the weakest power in Europe, in other areas, and its overall national strength is comparable to that of the Italians!

Of course, there is also Japan at the bottom, but this is not comparable! Due to the distance and the popular white supremacy theory in Europe at that time, the cost for Japan to poach a talent in Europe may be two or three times that of Bulgaria!

Even so, it was difficult to find people, and it was urgent. The Japanese actually dug the corners of the Qing Dynasty directly, regardless of whether the technology was backward or not, they still insisted on advancing on the road of industrialization!

Oh, ignore them for now! Japan before World War I could not be called an industrial country, although he was also a member of the great powers!

...

In terms of income, Bulgaria's total fiscal revenue in 1909 was approximately 2.36 billion levs (approximately 9.44 million pounds), which still maintained a relatively high growth rate. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

In 1909, Bulgaria's gross national income reached 18.25 billion levs (about 730 million pounds), and the per capita annual income was 822 levs (about 32.8 pounds). From the data point of view, Bulgaria's fiscal revenue accounts for 12.9% of the total national income, which is second only to Japan among the great powers.

This is not to say that the domestic taxes in Bulgaria are as high as they are, and how serious the exploitation of the people is!

On the contrary, in order to encourage economic development, Bulgaria has adopted a low tax policy for many industries, and there are even direct tax exemptions in the heavy industry!

In fact, in any country that implements nationalism, the government's fiscal revenue is relatively high, because the government directly controls many industries, and naturally the fiscal revenue is high!

For example, the railways in Bulgaria are all state-owned, while the railways in European and American countries are mostly private. Obviously, the profit part of the Bulgarian railway operation revenue turned over is collected into the government's fiscal revenue, while European and American countries only count the tax part! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

The same high fiscal revenue and high expenditure, for example, the construction of railways requires government financial allocations, so Bulgaria's current financial situation is still not rich!

If there were not so many expenses and annual financial income of more than 90 million pounds, Ferdinand would have joined the naval arms race long ago!

Don't look at Bulgaria's fiscal revenue of more than 90 million pounds in 1909. In fact, due to the war, the government's fiscal deficit is still as high as more than 8 million pounds. Getting the war reparations can almost smooth the deficit!

It is mainly the debt of the Greeks, and that can only be a debt. Don't expect anyone to dare to provide them with loans!

Now the Greek government is working hard to repay the loan. If it is not for the international influence, Ferdinand is ready to let the Greek government learn from Japan's loan repayment experience!

However, considering the sequelae, Ferdinand decided not to intervene, and it would be better for the Greeks to understand by themselves, otherwise the pot will not be thrown away.

Oh, the most important thing is that the resilience of the Greeks is not as strong as that of the Japanese. If they are forced to say something, they will turn against it. In addition, their population is not large, so they can't squeeze much oil!

In this regard, Ferdinand actually still had a conscience. Perhaps due to the influence of his previous life, he rarely did anything wrong. Otherwise, the Greek peninsula would definitely be a hell on earth now!

According to the feces of the European powers in this era, we know that there is nothing they can't do!

For details, you can refer to the atrocities committed by the British against the Boers in South Africa. This happened against the background that public opinion in Europe was condemning it!

Ferdinand estimated that if there was no pressure from European public opinion, there would be another genocide, and John Bull would do well!
