Bulgarian Empire

After all the ceremonies were completed, Ferdinand also rushed to the military hospital in Sofia to visit the wounded and condolences to the families of several martyrs. It has been busy for more than half a month before it came to an end.

Of course, reporters are indispensable to follow, collect news materials, and photographers to accompany them to shoot and save them as precious film and television materials.

The people are even more lively. Although the Bulgarian war has passed, the propaganda has continued, and the atmosphere of joy has not faded.

Anyway, the media has come up with too much evidence to show that this war in Bulgaria is completely just:

It is to fight for the rise of the nation, to liberate the compatriots squeezed by Serbia, to take back the homeland and drive away the Serbian invaders!

The newly added part of the territory has been the inseparable territory of the Bulgarian Holy Spirit since ancient times. If you don’t believe me, you can check the historical data!

A large number of Slavs came here in the 6th century AD and merged with a small number of Turkic-speaking Bulgars, led by Asparuk Khan, who migrated from the northern coast of the Black Sea and the North Caucasus to Messia, resulting in the Bulgarians.

In the area south of the Nau River and north of the Balkan Mountains, the first Bulgarian Empire was established. Look carefully, including the entire Balkans, there are historical data that indicate that this is the traditional living area of ​​the Bulgarians. And if that's not enough, there's the Second Bulgarian Empire, you can always find what you want!

All the people living above are Bulgarians, and they can all testify that the Bulgarian military liberated them from the clutches of Serbia. They dare to swear by their faith in God, it is absolutely from the heart, and they will not participate in falsehoods at all! !

The editors can guarantee that there is absolutely no water injection this time, and these people are all for Bulgaria wholeheartedly. (Anyone who doesn't support it goes to the other side)

If you have any doubts, you can go to the field for investigation. Any organization or individual in the world is welcome to go to the scene to collect evidence.

Regarding the propaganda of the Bulgarian domestic media, except for the Bulgarians who believe it, everyone else has a tacit understanding that they have not seen anything.

So shameless, are the Serbs still protesting? The 300,000 people of Beidu are represented like this, and it is the idiot who left voluntarily!

But this is not important, anyway, the people living on the land are Bulgarians. Each of them has proof that they are Bulgarian, for generations!

Whoever dares to say no, just worry about it! Even if the agricultural tax in Bulgaria is half that of Serbia, it must be Bulgarian! !

The Bulgarian government led by Ferdinand is very open-minded. As long as there is evidence that he is Bulgarian, willing to accept the leadership of the Bulgarian government, learn Bulgarian cultural knowledge, and love Bulgaria, he can automatically obtain Bulgarian nationality.

Therefore, the 20,000 newly added compatriots are all Bulgarian, a proper nationality, and there is naturally no unnecessary oppression and slavery.

Ferdinand, who was free, began to care about immigration again, and convened cabinet ministers to hold a special immigration seminar.

"Prime Minister, what is your government's plan for taking back your homeland?" Ferdinand

Prime Minister Constantine was named and excitedly replied: "Your Excellency, the cabinet plans to divide into three regions for governance, but because the population is too small, the most important task of the cabinet at the moment is immigration!"

Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask, "How is the immigration going?"

Constantine paused, sighed, and said embarrassingly: "The immigration work is going well, but the population of Bulgaria is limited. Even if the people are eager to apply, many who do not meet the conditions have been rejected, including the military now. The total number of immigrants is only more than 50,000 people, basically it has reached the limit!!”

Ferdinand knew that a war had just been won, and now was the time for Bulgarian nationalism to explode, and to support the nation's construction,

There are a lot of people who don't care about personal interests.

However, it still does not change the nature of Bulgaria's sparse population. Four million people are distributed on more than 100,000 square kilometers of land, which is already very small. It is indeed too difficult to develop new land.

It is impossible for the government to abandon the original land in order to develop new land! There is simply no more than population in the society, and the slow progress of immigration is inevitable!

Ferdinand thought for a while and continued: "Let's focus on adding new citizens! Then I'm trying to figure out a way to introduce a group of immigrants from Russia!

It is still the old rule that farmers are the mainstay. After all, you are all aware of the situation in the Nis region. We can only focus on agriculture!

The Serbs are too reckless. If this land is developed to accommodate a million agricultural population, it will not be a problem at all! "

At the end of the 19th century, the level of agricultural mechanization in the world was still very low, and the plain areas still had the value of promotion. In the mountainous, hilly and forest areas, it is better to use manpower honestly!

Besides, Ferdinand was only trying to increase the population and strengthen the control of the land, and he did not intend to let everyone rely on that little land to make a fortune and become a well-off. As long as the output can be self-sufficient, agricultural taxes are good, but not It doesn't matter.

Everyone in the cabinet looked at each other and smiled. It seems that every time Bulgaria lacks manpower, the Russian Empire can generously provide it. Of course, it would be better if it could not pay!

Constantine smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency the Grand Duke, if we immigrate from Russia just for the sole purpose of farming, then the cost will be too high!

The plain area along the Morrava River has economic value to develop, but the agricultural output ratio is too low in other mountainous, hilly and forest areas!

And our current immigration costs are not at all low. On average, the cost of importing a young and strong workforce from Russia is as high as 300 levs (about 12 pounds), and the old and weak will also cost 125 levs (5 pounds).

At this price, it will take at least 20 years for us to recover the cost from them; if we engage in industrial production, we can recover the cost in three to five years! Economically speaking, the introduction of immigrants to develop mountainous and hilly areas outweighs the gains! "

Ferdinand nodded, understanding the Prime Minister's concerns. Most European countries now attach great importance to industry and despise agriculture, and they don't care much about human resources.

This is also related to the fact that the great powers have vast colonies and have a large number of wealthy laborers. Naturally, they ignore the importance of population and the country!

However, Ferdinand decided to change his mind to persuade them. After all, due to the limitations of the times, it is beyond their comprehension to talk about this now!
