Bulgarian Empire

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements!? Ferdinand knows that Boris is a poor ghost now, and even his palace is an old antique left over from a hundred years ago. Simple After some repairs, he moved in.

The Finnish government is clinking poorly now, and it is not easy if it is not bankrupt. Naturally, there is no money for him to repair the palace, and all expenses have to be paid by Boris himself.

At present, Boris' only income is the 5 million lev annuity allocated to him by the Bulgarian royal family every year. Otherwise, Boris can win the title of the poorest king in Europe.

This money is not permanent either. Ferdinand took it out of the royal annuity considering his actual situation. After Ferdinand Jr. succeeds to the throne in the future, it will have nothing to do with him.

As for inheriting the family property, is it a pity that Ferdinand is still alive? How could it be possible to divide the family property so early?

This is also the most common idea in Europe, cultivating the independent consciousness of the next generation, so Boris has to figure out his own way now.

Of course, this "poor" is only in Ferdinand's concept. In fact, this income is not low, and it is almost worth a quarter of the current financial income of the Finnish government. With so many years of accumulation, Bao It is not a big problem for Rees to be the richest man in Finland.

The main reason is that he invested all his own money. After settling down in Finland, Boris immediately established the Royal Bank, bought a large amount of land and woodland, and established several processing factories, preparing to make international trade.

Then, of course, there was no money, and until these investments paid off, all of Boris' income was dependent on Ferdinand's funding.

"Father, I want to learn from what you did in Bulgaria. Give up the fixed royal annuity and only receive a little financial income. What do you think?" Boris asked uncertainly

"You can decide this question by yourself, I can't help you!" Ferdinand thought for a while and said

"However, Caroline objected, and her fears were very justified.

The fiscal revenue of the Grand Duchy of Finland is limited. Once we change the method of receiving the royal annuity, we may continue to lose money in the future!

In this way, we will become the laughing stock of the nobles, contracting their jokes of this century! "Boris said awkwardly.

Although the royal annuity is freely controlled by the royal family, it does not mean that all the money can be kicked into the king's pocket.

Including daily rewards to courtiers, holding palace banquets, the expenses of a large group of people in the palace, donations for going out to show off, expenses for weddings and funerals, etc., this series of expenses must be paid from here.

With Finland's current fiscal revenue, even if it is increased tenfold, it may not be enough for these expenses. Boris's worries are very normal.

This era is different from later generations. The royal power of later generations was strictly limited, and many of the expenses involved were also listed separately.

Otherwise, the king's annuity of hundreds of thousands of pounds in later generations is not enough to pay the maids?

"The economic problem is not big. If the Finnish economy develops well, in about 20 to 30 years, your royal annuity income will be equal to your expenditure!

As for worrying about becoming a joke among the nobles, you can completely ignore it. The joke in the last century was not contracted by me. What about now? Anyone else say? "Ferdinand thought for a while and said

Not every country can play like Ferdinand. If Bulgaria is still a small country in the Balkans, then the royal annuity is only a few million.

At that time, no one knew that Bulgaria could get to where it is today, including Ferdinand himself, who was not sure.

The reason for doing that was entirely because he had just arrived, had no foundation, and urgently needed to regain the hearts of the people, so he made that decision.

Up to now, the annuity of the Bulgarian royal family is close to 200 million levs, which is the highest among European royal families.

Still no one said anything, because Ferdinand's show was so beautiful back then,

Before the end of the Second Balkan War, the Bulgarian royal family had been losing money for more than ten years in a row.

To show that the king and the people shared weal and woe together. No one expected that a world war would break out, and no one knew that Bulgaria would develop so fast after the war.

Now Ferdinand's proclamation has become the object of respect all over the world. It can be regarded as a model of an ideal king. George V wants to follow suit, but unfortunately the London government does not agree with anything.

If Boris wants to follow suit now, no one will object to it. No one thinks that Finland’s fiscal revenue can increase much. Even at an annual growth rate of 10%, it will take 25 years to achieve balance.

This has not yet taken into account the factor of inflation. From an economic point of view, this investment is destined to lose money.

Unless Finland can also undergo a major expansion like Bulgaria and complete the feat of swallowing elephants, such a leapfrog development does not exist in reality.

"Thank you, Father, I know what to do!" said Boris

As a king, the consideration must be to prioritize politics, and then economics.

Anyway, he still has an income to support him now, and the inheritance left by Ferdinand in the future will definitely be a huge sum of money, so Boris doesn't have to worry about his own financial problems.

Ferdinand didn't know that his butterfly effect once again affected the world. Apart from Boris, there were many kings following his actions. He was also called by later generations: the opener of the new era of kings.

This is almost the same as a company. The king is the president of a listed company. The president’s income is tied to the company’s revenue. The more the company makes money, the higher the president’s income, and vice versa.

Ferdinand also referred to this model. At the most difficult time for the development of the company, he was ordered to turn a small company into a listed company, received stock option rewards, became a shareholder, and then received dividends.

Now Boris is preparing a speech titled "My Father's Life as a King".

The content is as follows:

"On July 12, 1987, my father was crowned Grand Duke of Bulgaria, and the world has changed since then.

When I get here, please allow me to describe it as a small country. Bulgaria was really small at that time. The territory was less than one-third the size of Finland, and the population was about the same as ours now. Even if it was a little more, it was limited.

The geographical location is very important, in the center of the Balkan Peninsula.

Everyone knows that the Balkans are the powder kegs of Europe. According to historical records, wars broke out in the Balkans every week on average. So what kind of state can you imagine in Bulgaria, which is located in the center?

In contrast, our current situation is much better, at least there are not so many wars.

However, after July 12, 1987, the history of the Balkans was rewritten. Please allow me to call him——Ferdinand the Great, although he has not yet called the emperor, but in my heart he also deserves this title.

Thanks to the efforts of Ferdinand the Great, the Balkan Peninsula was unified for the first time in a true sense in thousands of years, and since then Bulgaria has been created.

The Balkans, which were poor and backward at the beginning, no longer exist. The Balkans are now the most prosperous region in the world, and God's back garden has become a veritable name.

As his son, I am proud to have a great father.

I have always followed his example.

And here I am today, becoming Grand Duke of Finland at about the same age as he was when he became Grand Duke of Bulgaria.

I dare not say that Finland will definitely become as powerful as Bulgaria is now, this is unrealistic!

I am not as capable as he is, and I still have some self-knowledge, but I also want to work hard to make Finland as prosperous as Bulgaria.

This is a son's worship of his father. He has set a good example for me. I will take him as my goal in life and strive for it all my life!

I still remember that forty years ago, Emperor Ferdinand announced in Sofia that he would abandon the fixed royal annuity and instead take a little fiscal revenue as an annuity to show his determination to make Bulgaria prosperous and prosperous.

At that time, it was once ridiculed by the European media, calling the Bulgarian royal family: the poorest royal family in the world was born!

Many people are still betting how long he can last, and it turns out that he can last for a long time!

Time flies, and more than 40 years have passed. The poor and backward small Balkan country has now become one of the most powerful and richest countries in the world.

The poorest royal family in the world at that time also became the richest royal family in the world. He fulfilled his promise and shared weal and woe with the country.

Here today, as a son, I have infinite admiration for my father, and I intend to follow what he did back then.

Theoretically, if there is no inflation and Finland’s fiscal revenue maintains an annual growth rate of 10%, after about 25 years, I will be able to achieve balance of payments.

If our economy can develop a little faster, this time can be advanced, and I, the king, can also live a prosperous life as soon as possible.

From now on, let's spend the most difficult 25 years together. I remember that Emperor Ferdinand also spent more than 20 years of hard times with the Bulgarian people!

..."

On the surface, it looks like a son is singing the praises of his father, worshiping his father, and taking him as a role model in life.

In fact, praises are secondary, and the deeper reason is that Boris is expressing his attitude and expounding his governance philosophy.

Ordinary people don't know what policies are suitable for Finland and what policies are not suitable for Finland, just tell them who they are learning from.

In this day and age, small countries all over the world are following Bulgaria as an example more convincingly than any other political thought.

Boris made a clear statement of his position, and more of it was to appease the hearts of the people. With the successful example of Ferdinand, Boris can gain a lot of points as long as he plays the image of a son who worships his father.

The people can also rest assured that the new Grand Duke of Finland is not a tyrant or a fool, but a qualified monarch with self-motivation.

As long as this first impression is instilled, Boris' image in the eyes of the public will be much better, and future reforms will be much easier to carry out.

...

There is no doubt that Boris's speech was very successful. In Finland, which has just achieved national independence, teenagers in the second year of middle school are also indispensable, and they immediately circled a large wave of fans.

No one does not want their country to become prosperous and strong, but everyone simply does not know how to go. It is no problem to learn from Bulgaria, but how to learn?

It is also a long-term process for Bulgaria to grow from weak to strong. What everyone sees now is a prosperous and strong Bulgaria. What has been experienced before is not very clear.

This is not a problem here. Is there anyone who knows better than the Bulgarian royal family what Bulgaria has experienced?

At the first realization, they would think that Boris knew all this, and it was impossible for Ferdinand to keep his son a secret.

With the most accurate information, can Finland follow this road and go again?

Even if the national conditions are different, it is always possible to learn some of the essence and change the current situation of poverty and backwardness, right?

The first wave of support for Boris has emerged, and while the group is not yet solid enough to keep him in business, it's a good start.

As long as Finland's economy develops well in the future, the government is clear, and the people's living standards improve, this group will be stable.

sofia

After receiving this information, Ferdinand felt relieved. A king who is willing to share weal and woe with the people will always be favored by everyone.

As long as in the future, Boris doesn't kill himself and can maintain the stability of the country, his position will be consolidated.

It is said to be learning from Bulgaria, but in fact the expectations of the people are not that high. Most people will not imagine that they can really build another "Bulgaria!"

This is very unrealistic, unless they can unify the former Russian Empire, they will have the potential to develop to Bulgaria's current level.

Obviously, the Finns would not do this kind of thing. They are not so secondary. If they really did that, it would not be that they annexed Russia, and they were annexed by Russia.

The population base of the two sides has already determined all of this. If ethnic assimilation is played, they will also be assimilated. No one wants to do such a loss-making business.
