Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 15. The Bulgarian government short of money

Ferdinand had no objection to the government's innovation. He will support any policy that promotes national integration!

Can the various nationalities in Bulgaria be integrated now? From Ferdinand's point of view, there is no problem at all!

Religious beliefs, language, and ethnic customs are basically the same. As long as there is a voice telling them that we are one nation, the fake will become true after a long time!

Originally, there were not many ethnic minorities in Bulgaria. After immigrating from Russia, the number of new "Bulgarians" increased sharply, including Ukrainians, Poles, Slavs, Armenians... dozens of ethnic groups, large and small.

But now they all claim to be Bulgarians, scattered among the crowd, who can tell them apart? ?

Well, in fact, over the long years, these honest farmers can't figure out which nationality they are, and they are which nationality the big shots say they are!

You read that right, when nationalism broke out at the end of the 19th century, many peasants who were illiterate were racialized!

So occasionally when you open the history books, you will find that some ethnic groups have a sudden population increase, and some ethnic groups have a sudden population drop, and they are often assimilated!

In any case, so far, Bulgaria's national integration policy has been very successful! Immigrants are often more like Bulgarians than real Bulgarians. Whoever dares to say that they are not Bulgarians will turn their faces immediately!

In this regard, Ferdinand would like to thank the Russian aristocrats for their credit. If it weren't for their hard work day and night, these immigrants would not have developed such a strong sense of identity with Bulgaria so quickly!

The Baosai War is the best example. When Bulgaria was mobilized, immigrants who had just obtained Bulgarian citizenship were not at all less enthusiastic about enlisting in the army! In order to catch up with the production of strategic materials, the Bulgarian factory chose to work overtime in impermanence, and they did not lag behind, and they are doing their best to integrate into this society!

Of course, there will definitely be conflicts between immigrants and local residents, but with the victory of the Baosai War, everything disappeared. The initial immigrants have passed practical actions and gained everyone's approval!

At the cabinet meeting, Constantine asked with a headache: "Mr. Kennedy, according to the government's plan, how much will our fiscal deficit be this year?"

After thinking for a while, Minister of the Exchequer Kennedy said: "To complete all the government's plans, according to the most optimistic estimate, there is still a fiscal deficit of at least 50 million levas!"

Constantine nodded, this number is still within the expected range. According to the original plan, the second batch of treasury bonds should be issued now, but everyone has obviously not mentioned it now.

Everyone knows how the national debt was sold last year. No matter how patriotic the Bulgarian people are, they can’t afford the money now.

The capitalists don't even have to think about it. Last year's Baosai War delayed everyone's business for two months, and the capitalists suffered a lot of losses.

After the victory of the war, the Bulgarian government did not have so much money to compensate, and it was a few big capitalists who took the lead in giving up the compensation to save the government's face.

For this reason, everyone was moved for a long time. In the end, in the name of the government, a plaque was given to everyone to settle the matter. At this moment, no one thought about continuing to attack them.

Loans to the great powers? Constantine immediately dismissed this idea. The key is that these days, the appetites of the great powers are not small, and the interest is nothing, but the additional conditions can definitely make people want to cry.

Constantine asked: "What good ideas do you have? It can solve the financial crisis!"

"Why don't we fight corruption again! We can clean up moths and raise funds, killing two birds with one stone!" Chekov thought for a while and said

Everyone nodded, the family property of the Bulgarian government,

They were all obtained by copying houses. Everyone is familiar with this business.

Anti-corruption? The Bulgarian government has no time to analyze what is illegal income and what is legal income when corrupt officials are caught and their homes are ransacked.

As long as corrupt officials catch one person, they will be beaten to death with one stick, and all property will be confiscated. Relatives within five generations must examine the source of their property, and if they find out that it is hidden, they will also have to sit down.

Accepting bribes is still a legal income for officials in Bulgaria. As long as the anti-corruption department reports it, you can get one-tenth of the reward!

As for the bribe-givers, of course, they will be in bad luck for eight lifetimes. The old rules ransacked their homes. Who told the Bulgarian government to be poor?

As far as Ferdinand knows, the central government alone has issued hundreds of legal provisions on ransacking homes. Many crimes of a bad nature have added clauses on ransacking homes.

In order to raise money, the Bulgarian government has already tried everything.

The local government also has a lot of regulations on fines, such as littering and spitting. For the first offense, the fine is equal to the offender’s daily income, doubled for the second time, and so on.

Even so, the Bulgarian government still faces a financial crisis.

The Minister of the Exchequer raised doubts: "I have no objection to anti-corruption! The problem is anti-corruption. We often do it. Now it is good to catch a few small fish. If we want to solve the funding gap, I am afraid it will be a drop in the bucket!"

Everyone laughed awkwardly, didn't they? In order to raise money, the Bulgarian government may be the most active anti-corruption place in the world, and it is possible to come here every now and then!

Now the Bulgarian government can proudly announce that they are now the cleanest government in the world!

No matter how courageous an official is, he still has room to play! Now Bulgarian officials are notorious for taking money and not doing things, and they will send you to jail after finishing the work. Which idiot would dare to give them gifts now?

Whether it is good or bad, they don't need to judge by themselves! Anyway, in terms of civil reputation, the Bulgarian government has surpassed all previous governments since independence.

Constantine thought for a while, and said very reluctantly: "If there is really no other way, we can only sell the domestic land!"

Kennedy's face changed. You must know that the land in the hands of the government is already one of the main income of the government!

This income has always been independent of financial income and calculated separately! It was mainly used for military expenses. If the land is sold now, the income in the coming year will be greatly reduced!

"No! Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you should be clear that we now earn hundreds of millions of levs from the land every year, which are directly allocated to the army. Now that we have sold a large area of ​​land, our income will be greatly reduced in the coming year. What about military expenditures? ?” Kennedy asked
