Bulgarian Empire

More than 100 plans from the Ministry of Industry were deliberated and approved by the parliament in just one day. This efficiency is probably not believed by European countries, but this is the normal working efficiency of the Bulgarian parliament.

Everyone has a job, and opposition for the sake of opposition cannot happen in Bulgaria. Several political parties that were suppressed by Ferdinand have now disappeared.

Now the Bulgarian people don’t care what you say, participate in the parliamentary elections, and first show your contribution to the country, the talkative party has long been unable to get along!

On August 13, the meeting continued. Today's discussion was on agriculture, and the moderator, Rolex Dodd, stepped onto the rostrum as usual.

"The meeting started. The content of everyone's deliberation today is the outline of the agricultural exhibition submitted by the Ministry of Agriculture. The main contents include:

1. The country plans to add tens of millions of tons of grain production capacity, and increase the construction of water conservancy projects in major grain-producing areas; (budget 650 million levs)

2. Promote innovation in agricultural science and technology, improve the public welfare agricultural technology promotion system, display the modern seed industry, and accelerate agricultural mechanization; (Budget 360 million levs)

3. Improve the modern agricultural industry system, promote large-scale cultivation of horticultural products, livestock products, and aquatic products, accelerate the development of facility agriculture, agricultural product processing, and distribution, and promote the specialization of agricultural production and management; (budget 120 million levs)

4. Develop water-saving agriculture in Iraq and Syria; (budget 100 million levs)

5. Promote the planting of economic crops, such as: cotton, coffee, roses, grapes, etc.; (budget 8000 million levs)

6. Implement a minimum guarantee price for domestic grain, which is tentatively set at 368 Leva per ton. Once the purchase price of commodity grain falls below this price, the Ministry of Agriculture will provide funds to rescue the market; (budget unknown)

Agriculture Minister James Ivanov has stepped onto the podium to be questioned by MPs.

The first person who was qualified to ask a question was a young engineer, and he asked immediately: "Dear Mr. James, the Ministry of Agriculture is increasing agricultural production on the one hand, and on the other hand is implementing the minimum food protection price. Isn't this contradictory?

We all know that under the laws of the market economy, the price of grain is linked to the production capacity. After the total grain output increases, the consumption rate of the market does not keep up, so the price drop is inevitable!

Based on the current domestic cultivated land area data in Bulgaria, we can calculate it.

Romania area: 96,100 square kilometers;

Central Balkans (35,000 square kilometers formerly Bulgaria, plus Istanbul) 54,600 square kilometers;

The Bosnia and Herzegovina area is 15,800 square kilometers; (including part of the territory of Croatia, mainly Dalmatia)

38,100 square kilometers in Greece;

0.71 million square kilometers in Albania;

0.23 million square kilometers in Montenegro;

33,100 square kilometers in Serbia;

Macedonian area o.330,000 square kilometers;

Our local arable land area alone is as high as 254,000 square kilometers. There is still a lot of room to dig out this figure. We only counted the existing arable land area, and did not count orchards, pastures, and land for planting cash crops.

We have not been able to count the cultivated land area of ​​the colonies, but the cultivated land area of ​​the Asia Minor Peninsula alone is over 20 square kilometers, and when we count our newly added African colonies, the potential cultivated land area is very large on the land of nearly 10 million square kilometers. There may be millions of hectares. Is it necessary for us to develop all of them?

The so-called ten-year total grain output has increased by tens of millions of tons. Perhaps the government can do nothing, as long as the land is distributed to the farmers, they can complete it themselves! "

Ferdinand in the background nodded in satisfaction. This kind of well-founded question is his favorite.

The data party is not easy to mess with, but now Bulgarians like to talk about data. Under Ferdinand's butterfly effect, the mathematics level of the Bulgarian people has already ranked first in the world.

From the perspective of arable land alone, it is theoretically possible to increase the total grain output by hundreds of millions of tons, not to mention an increase of 10 million tons.

James said calmly: "That's a good question. We are increasing grain production substantially while stabilizing grain prices. It seems that they are contradictory, but in fact this question is not contradictory!

To increase food production, we do not intend to achieve it by simply increasing the planting area, but by using more advanced agricultural technologies.

Although the land area in the colonies is vast, it is impossible to develop all of them in the short term. Considering the different geographical conditions, agriculture believes that it is more cost-effective to grow cash crops on these lands.

In terms of grain yield per mu, we are nearly 15% lower than France, which has advanced agricultural technology. This gap is the result of our promotion of new agricultural technology. Twenty years ago, our grain yield per mu was less than 30% of theirs. 2/2!

The promotion of new technologies is also conducive to increasing farmers' income and improving their living standards!

As for the protection of grain prices, this problem is even simpler. International grain prices are changing, and the ups and downs are uncertain. We must ensure the basic income of farmers. We cannot let them go bankrupt because of the sharp drop in grain prices in the international market, right?

As the second largest grain exporter in Europe (now the number one is the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Mao Xiong has no time to farm recently), we naturally have to keep our market share, otherwise the grain production in the British and French colonies will expand, and our side The industrial chain is gone.

Although on the surface our total grain output is constantly increasing, don’t forget that our population is also increasing rapidly. Ten years later, after excluding the growing domestic demand, the increase in export grain will not appear too high. , will still be within the acceptable range of the international market!

Because of the increased fiscal expenditures due to the implementation of the food protection price, we can also earn back through taxation in the subsequent grain circulation link. This involves a series of economic issues. "

Now the main Bulgarian grain exporters are Italy and Germany. Due to the relationship between the world wars, their purchasing power has been greatly reduced, and Bulgarian farmers have to adjust the crops they plant according to their purchasing power.

For example: now cheaper potatoes and black bread have become the staple food on their tables, so Bulgarian farmers have to grow these crops to replace the original wheat.

As a major grain exporter, we must always pay attention to the vicissitudes of the international grain market.

If the supply exceeds the demand, the price may drop sharply, or even fail to sell; if the supply exceeds the demand, although the short-term price increase can make a fortune, but the British and French colonies do not lack arable land. Stimulated by profits, once the capitalists open up these areas, various Big food exporting countries don't want to live a better life!

Seeing that the young man who asked the question had returned to his seat, Rolex Dodd said again: "The meeting continues, the old rules, if you have any questions, please raise your hand!"

A group of people in the brush raised their hands, and Rolex Dodd continued: "The old gentleman in the middle of the second row, please speak!"

Then the old man asked: "Mr. James, I don't understand why the government spends a lot of money on water-saving agriculture?

Since the local area lacks water, we should not develop agriculture. Bulgaria is such a large country that it is not possible to develop agriculture anywhere. Why do we have to go to Iraq and Syria? "

James said calmly: "This issue is related to the industrial exhibition, to be precise, it is the oil industry. At present, our domestic oil companies have explored oil in the above-mentioned areas.

We all know that oil extraction is a very troublesome thing, which requires a lot of manpower. If there is no accident, a few more cities will be added in the local area.

Our government has to solve the food problem for these people. If they are transported from other places, wheat and potatoes are okay, but vegetarian dishes and meat are very troublesome.

This requires a large amount of freezing equipment, and the freshness of the dishes cannot be guaranteed. From an economic point of view, we use local resources to achieve self-sufficiency, which is more cost-effective! "

The old man nodded in satisfaction, and then sat down. As an older generation, in his opinion, the government should do things with a purpose, and the worst thing is to mess around.

Rolex Dodd said again: "The meeting continues, please raise your hand if you have any questions!"

After a pause, he spoke again: "The second gentleman from the right in the sixth row, please speak!"

The middle-aged man stood up and said hesitantly: "Dear Mr. James, I am very puzzled by the government's increased investment in agriculture!

In the next ten years, the government's investment in agriculture will be as high as 3.6 billion levs? If this money is invested in industry or education, we will
