Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 5, Immigration and Frontiers

After all the ceremonies were completed, Ferdinand also rushed to the military hospital in the Sofia area, visited the wounded, and went to condolences to the families of several martyrs. I have been busy for half a month before it came to an end.

Of course, it is indispensable for reporters to follow, collect news materials, and photographers accompanying them to take pictures and save them as precious film and television materials.

The folks are even more lively. Although the Baosai War has passed, the propaganda has continued, and the atmosphere of joy has not faded.

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

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

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

In the 6th century AD, a large number of Slavs came here 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 Mesia, 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 Balkan region, there are historical data that show that it is the traditional living area of ​​the Bulgarians. And if that's not enough, there's the Second Bulgarian Empire, where 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 Serbia's clutches. They dare to swear by their belief in God, it is absolutely from the heart, and it is not fake at all! !

The editors can guarantee that there is absolutely no water injection this time, and these people support Bulgaria wholeheartedly. (Anyone who does not support it has gone to the other side)

If you have any doubts, you can go to the field to investigate. 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 tacitly stated that they have not seen anything.

So shameless, are the Serbs still protesting? The 300,000 people in Beidu were represented just like that, only idiots left voluntarily!

But this is not important anymore, anyway, all the people living on the land are Bulgarians now. Each of them has evidence that they are Bulgarians, and have been for generations!

Anyone who dares to say no is in a hurry! Even if Bulgaria's agricultural tax is only half of Serbia's, it must be Bulgarian! !

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

As a result, the 20,000 new compatriots who joined were all Bulgarians. They were properly their own nation, and naturally there would be no unnecessary oppression and slavery.

Ferdinand, who was idle, began to care about immigration again. He called the cabinet ministers and held a special immigration seminar.

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

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

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

Constantine paused for a moment, sighed, and said embarrassingly: "The immigration work is going smoothly, but Bulgaria has a limited population. Even if the people sign up enthusiastically, many who do not meet the requirements, after being rejected, now include the military. The total number of immigrants is only more than 50,000, which has basically reached the limit!!"

Ferdinand knew that he had just won a war, and it was time for Bulgarian nationalism to explode. In order to support the country's construction,

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

But it still can't 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 no overpopulation in society at all, and the slow progress of immigration is inevitable!

Ferdinand thought for a while, and continued: "Focus on the new nationals! Then think of a way to introduce a group of immigrants from Russia!

It is still the old rule that farmers are the mainstay. After all, you all know 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 there was still value for promotion in plain areas. In mountainous and hilly forest areas, it is better to use manpower honestly!

Besides, Ferdinand only wanted to increase the population and strengthen the control over the land. He didn't intend to let everyone rely on that little land to make a fortune and become well-off. 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 even better if it could not pay!

Constantine said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, if we immigrate from the Russian region just for farming, then the cost will be too high!

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

Moreover, our current immigration cost is not low at all. On average, the cost of importing a young and strong labor force from Russia is now as high as 300 levs (about 12 pounds), and 125 levs (about 5 pounds) for the old and weak.

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, introducing immigrants to develop mountainous and hilly forest areas is not worth the candle! "

Ferdinand nodded, he understood the prime minister's concern. Most European countries now value industry, despise agriculture, and don't care much about human resources.

This is also related to the vast colonies owned by the great powers, with a large number of wealthy laborers, it is natural to ignore the importance of the population to the country!

However, Ferdinand decided to persuade them in a different way. After all, due to the limitations of the times, talking about this now is beyond their understanding!
