With the order of Ferdinand, the statistics of the Bulgarian government increased by more than two million people.
At the national census at the end of 19o6, the Bulgarian population reached 10,000, which is not far from the goal of Ferdinand's population of 20 million before 1914!
Everyone is voluntary this time. After getting Bulgarian nationality, there are real benefits! Seeing and seeing, you can feel it. Capitalists can no longer arrogantly exploit them!
The first is that within the scope of the labor law, the protection they enjoy is more comprehensive. For example, in terms of wages, Bulgaria's minimum wage standards can also be enjoyed, and they do not need to worry about being fired casually by companies.
There is also the capitalists, who can no longer be required to work overtime without compensation, otherwise you can report it, once it is verified that it is ten times the standard repayment, and the capitalists will still face jail!
Of course, this is now the Bulgarian economy is developing rapidly. Even if this part of the expenditure is increased, companies can afford it!
This is the core reason why Ferdinand chose to solve the issue of immigration nationality now!
Otherwise, after the Russo-Japanese War, the economy gradually returns to normal, it will be difficult to solve this problem!
After all, this is to increase the cost of the company. When the economic situation is very good, the increase will increase. Everyone can afford it. When the company and the market are self-regulated in the future!
After all, the increase in income of these people also means that their purchasing power will increase, which will help increase domestic demand. The Bulgarian local market will also expand accordingly, and then replenish the business. This is also a virtuous economic cycle!
If the economy is not good, it will not be easy for companies to survive. Is it necessary to increase their expenses to force others to go bankrupt?
Oh, this only works in a country where Bulgarian capitalists have no right to speak. If it were changed to other European countries at the time, such laws would be ignored by the law.
If they stay at the Republic's house, it will be a big impeachment to the government. Now that there is no threat from the Soviet Union, why should you raise your costs?
This is why Ferdinand is committed to nationalism. The government can control the country to the maximum extent, and it can also handle the domestic class contradictions to the maximum!
...
In fact, Ferdinand's population target of 20 million has also brought very heavy pressure on the Bulgarian government.
In order to complete the task, the purity of the population must be guaranteed. At least language and culture must be consistent, and religious and folklore must not be biased!
In addition to encouraging fertility, the only remaining method is immigration. Unfortunately, there were restrictions on immigration before. Basically, there was a shortage of people in the market, and the government only introduced a group of laborers.
In this way, social stability is well guaranteed. After all, immigrants from Russia are thoroughly working people. As long as they have work and food, they are big good people!
Similarly, the road to increase population by immigration is blocked!
Due to the increase in the domestic population after the Balkan War, Ferdinand revised his immigration law in order to protect the employment of the people in the country.
The new law stipulates that when introducing immigrants, it is necessary to ensure employment issues and to have similar language, culture and customs.
And also no Bulgarian criminal record, no bad thinking, stable work for more than ten years, can you get nationality!
Oh, except for scarce talents, like senior engineers, scientists, doctors, etc., there are no restrictions!
With so many restrictions, it is undoubtedly unrealistic to want a rapid population growth!
Ferdinand's openness this time is undoubtedly a chance for officials of the Immigration and Immigration Department!
Isn't this group of immigrants returning home to visit relatives? It can also be said to be "marrying relatives", after all, so many bachelors always have to solve personal problems!
Then the other half of them, of course, can not be restricted to join Bulgaria, this is just the needs of others!
Similarly, if their immediate family members want to emigrate to Bulgaria, the government will also have to open up a mouth, otherwise it would not make sense!
According to the current calculation of more than two million Russian immigrants, if you count their other half and their immediate family members, is this number huge enough?
It only takes one-fifth, or even one-tenth of them, to complete Ferdinand's mission! This is more effective than slow encouragement of childbirth!
According to the current standards of the Bulgarian government for promoting cadres, to complete such a major task several years in advance, everyone is ready to be promoted collectively!
For political performance, the enthusiasm of the bureaucrats has suddenly improved a lot. They took the initiative to do ideological work for these "Bulgarians" who returned to visit their relatives and promised that they would be responsible for helping their relatives and friends solve their employment problems!
And this time the requirements are not high. As long as there is no criminal record, language and culture are connected, and there is no problem in thought, the government is giving a green light!
This is also a common problem among bureaucrats all over the world. In the face of political achievements, they can always stimulate their potential.
Not only did the idea of pulling people come to mind, but even employment resettlement, a problem that headaches the entire capitalist world, they can think of ways to see that the potential of the bureaucrats is unlimited!
Oh, this is what everyone learned from Ferdinand. Bulgaria has worked on two five-year plans. Isn't it difficult to set up another "three-five plan"?
Everyone is prepared. Ferdinand's thoughts have been understood to some extent by the people below. As long as it is a policy that benefits the country and the people, it is a policy that the king likes! There is nothing wrong with doing this!
"Three-Five Plan" Ferdinand wanted to do it long ago, but unfortunately never had a chance! First the Balkan War, then the big immigrants, and then there was the economic crisis, followed by the "Japanese-Russian War". It can be said that the Bulgarian government has been very busy in recent years!
The more critical thing is "poor". The government has too many things to do, and the money is naturally not enough!
Based on the current economic volume of Bulgaria, a nationwide "three-five-year plan" is needed. Without the funds of two or three billion levs, nothing can really be done!
If it's just a mere joke, now that the government has been doing it, there is no need for Ferdinand to paint a snake!
As everyone knows, the Bulgarian government has always been in debt. The huge amount of foreign debt has weighed down on the government because it is afraid to do anything. But with the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, all this changed!
Since 19o4, Bulgaria's trade volume with Russia has grown dramatically, and it has also maintained a trade surplus!
In 19o4, Bulgaria's trade surplus with Russia reached 120 million rubles (about 10,000 pounds, or 317 million levs);
By 19o5, due to the impact of the domestic strike in Russia, the trade surplus with Russia directly increased to 370 million rubles (about 10,000 pounds, or 978 million levs);
The final result of 19o6 has not yet come out, but everyone knows that this number is still growing!
In just two years, the Bulgarian government's international foreign debt has been directly reduced by half. If the "Japanese-Russian War" continues, then in 19o7, the Bulgarian government can pay off all its debts!
Oh, this is not an early repayment. The international loans of this era are all overlord loans, and early repayment also requires interest!
This operation is just a transfer of creditor's rights. The French hope to control more bearish creditors' rights in order to strengthen control over Russian finance!
Bulgaria wants to pay off its foreign debt as soon as possible, or else it will hold a lot of rubles in its hands. Ferdinand said he would not sleep!
Who knows whether the bear will come for a depreciation of the ruble, anyway, he can't believe the tsarist government's discipline, if he is born, where will he cry?
So with everyone's wishes, the French took over Bulgaria to repay the loans with these roubles, and then converted into Russian debts by buying Russian debt!
Of course, the Bulgarian government repaid a large number of loans this time, but this is not to say that the Bulgarian government really made so much money in this war.
This is impossible. The Russians are not Japanese, nor are the Bulgarians the British Empire. This kind of bluffing cannot be done!
In fact, this is nothing more than the government's use of foreign exchange in exchange for exports to pay off debts, but Lev paid to domestic companies.
This is also an operation on financial foreign exchange. In short, the external debt of the Bulgarian government has plummeted. The debt crisis is now lifted!
Of course, insider trading is naturally indispensable, otherwise the usury empire is not so good at talking!
Simply put, the two countries have formed an alliance, or another Bulgaria has been added to the French-Russian agreement, and the two-state agreement has become a three-nation agreement!
After all, the Russians are no longer in the state, and they are still dying with the Japanese in the Far East. They do not have enough strength to suppress the Germans!
The Euro 6 balance has been broken, the Allies are already at a disadvantage, and the French 's strategic security on the European Big 6 is no longer guaranteed, which is very worrying for the French government!
Although Bulgaria is a little weaker, it is also the second largest power in the Big 6 in Europe. For the French who desperately need allies, it must be a presence!
Of course, to deal with such a difficult task as the Germans, let the French come by themselves, or the Russians can do it, Bulgaria is not enough!
The treaty stipulates that once the big 6 war breaks out, Bulgarians must join the war and cooperate with the Russians to deal with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. At least 1.5 million troops in the Austro-Hungarian Empire must be restrained before they can be considered to complete the task!
This point Ferdinand said that there is no problem. In history, things that Serbs can do, now Bulgaria has no reason to do it!
Anyway, because of the existence of the Bulgarian-Russian alliance, Bulgaria cannot stand alone. Instead of being dragged down, it is better to use this as a transaction in exchange for some benefits!
In return, early repayment of loans is only part of it, and Bulgaria's interests abroad will also be protected by the French government.
Although there is almost no foreign interest in Bulgaria, Ferdinand has proposed it!
Now, it does not mean that there is no future either. France is still the world's second naval power this year, and international deterrence is still leveraged. Both sides can take their own needs!
