Bulgarian Empire

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? Little Ferdinand, is this the plan you came up with? Ferdinand asked suspiciously

Yes, Father! Little Ferdinand replied affirmatively

Okay then, explain it yourself, you'd better be able to convince me, otherwise I will consider where to send you to be the governor! Ferdinand shook his head and said

Basically, it can be understood literally. I don't think my father can understand it without explaining it? Little Ferdinand said indifferently.

Well, let me ask you about your specific plan? Don't tell me, you just rely on these dozens of words to govern the Caucasus region? Ferdinand said with a smile

Isn't there a local official to preside over this? You handed it over to me. Don't do everything yourself, but leave the opportunity for performance to your subordinates. We don't need to compete with them for credit! Little Ferdinand said confidently

Little Ferdinand, have I told you that you need to do more research to find out the cause and effect before making a decision?

Now that you don't know anything, how do you judge that these plans have been implemented?

Are you counting on bureaucratic integrity?

If that's the case, I really have to consider another heir, after all, you are my son. I can't watch you being sent to the guillotine either! said Ferdinand solemnly.

Obviously, Ferdinand was really angry this time, and there was nothing wrong with little Ferdinand's plan. But he actually entrusted the most crucial step—implementation—on the integrity of officials?

He just forgot the lessons of those two who went to the guillotine in Europe, so the future outcome can be imagined!

Since ancient times, wise kings always let their subjects take the blame; stupid kings always help their subjects take the blame!

What employees are not suspicious, suspects are not used is all nonsense!

People's hearts are subject to change. If the restriction is lost, ambition will breed, and once it takes root, it will never go back.

Therefore, a wise king is to prevent his subordinates from developing undue ambitions, so that the monarch and his ministers can get along well.

If everything is based on the loyalty of subordinates and personal integrity, there will be a day when these things will deteriorate, and it will be the turn of the boss to be unlucky.

It can be said that even the king of rubber stamps must have certain abilities and have enough cards. Otherwise, one day a certain politician suddenly wants to abolish the king, what can you do?

But my lord father, haven't you been king for so many years without changing the prime minister?

You can give them enough trust, and they are really doing a good job, why can't I? Little Ferdinand asked unconvinced.

Hehe, do you know that I have been the king for so many years, and how did I make them so honest?

Don't forget that Bulgaria is also a constitutional monarchy and our rights are limited!

I can settle domestic matters with one word, but can you do it?

Why should the cabinet listen to you? Just because you're the king?

So tell me, why does Edward VII of England have the same rights as me? How much power does he have in front of George V, a prodigal son?

If you can't even figure out this question, just quit by yourself! In case you are sent to the guillotine in the future, show me the embarrassment! said Ferdinand harshly.

Ferdinand has already handed in the emperor's mentality that should be handed in, and now little Ferdinand's performance is completely overconfident.

The reason is nothing more than this trip to Europe, which made him feel confident!

The reason is very simple. Compared with these peers, he is indeed much better, but he forgot that, as the heir to the Bulgarian throne, he is destined not to be compared with ordinary nobles.

The problems he has to face are not simple. If he doesn't have enough ability, maybe his generation can live a good life by relying on Ferdinand's legacy, but what about the next generation?

...

After teaching his son a lesson, Ferdinand quickly adjusted his state. According to the current situation,

Little Ferdinand, the crown prince, is really hard-pressed.

There are five younger brothers below him who are compared with him. Although they do not threaten his inheritance rights, the pressure on him is still enormous.

Lao Tzu above is in very good health now, and his road to king is still far away.

What's more, there is a wise old man who thinks that many people will definitely compare their father and son in the future. Even if they become kings, life will not be so easy!

As the crown prince, he has received too much attention and has also taken on too much pressure, but no one can share this pressure for him.

If you want to wear the crown, bear its weight first!

If you can't pass the level of psychological factors, then Ferdinand really wants to change an heir, don't think that what he said is just angry words.

Little Ferdinand's unconvinced mentality is already very fatal.

As the heir of Bulgaria, he can do nothing and have no ambitions. Anyway, the country has already been defeated.

The only thing is not to be ambitious and want to surpass Ferdinand's achievements. This is not because he is jealous, but because it is simply impossible!

The current Bulgaria has basically expanded to the limit. If you farm honestly and peacefully, with a lot of accumulation, you can surpass the British Empire and become the new world leader.

If you meet a king who is ambitious and wants to make greater achievements, just look at the current William II. He is not capable and strong, but he still has to take risks, and finally becomes a bereaved dog.

Little Ferdinand, of course he doesn't have such big ambitions now, but Ferdinand has already seen the unyielding spirit.

This is enough to give Ferdinand a headache, and his son is too good is also a problem!

However, this problem in his heart cannot be directly told to him, and he can only really solve it by himself.

Thinking of this place, Ferdinand was very lucky. Fortunately, this is Europe, and there is no bad thing about the battle for the heir apparent. Otherwise, if there is a six dragons seizing the heirloom now, little Ferdinand will really be finished.

...

Your Majesty, the cabinet has decided to appoint Count Victor Keith as the interim governor of the Caucasus region to deal with local ethnic issues! Constantine said

In order to better solve the governance problem in the Caucasus region, the Bulgarian government first started to control the region by military. Anyway, Ferdinand also exempted the local tax for two years, as long as the maintenance of order and immigration work are done well.

What's the reason? I remember that Victor Kiss has a tendency towards the Holy Mother. Will it be self-defeating to let him serve as the governor? Ferdinand asked suspiciously

The Caucasus region, as well as the more than one million people left over from the tri-ethnic United Kingdom, have integrated with the local people over the years.

Earl Victor Keith served as the president of the United Kingdom of the three tribes, and at the most dangerous time, he covered them and fled to the Caucasus region. He has a very high status in the hearts of the people. He can appease these people by acting as the governor. popular support!

At the same time, we have also sent him a deputy. If Earl Victor Kiss cannot handle certain problems, his deputy can also do it for him! Konstantin thought for a while and said

Well, not bad! You have considered the issues very well, so let's do this! Ferdinand said with a smile

This is also a tradition in Bulgaria. The officials in charge of the army must be from the army. Now that the Caucasus region is under military control, the person who serves as the governor must be a general according to his rank.

Of course, it is also okay to transfer from the army to cadres. As long as you have reached the rank of major general before the transfer, you can also serve as governor again.

The chief officer is a military general, so the deputy is a civil servant, which can be regarded as a kind of check and balance.

In fact, the civil and military disputes in Bulgaria are not serious. The main reason is that under the compulsory military service system, most government officials have served in the army and only entered government agencies after retiring.

Especially the high-level government. Back then, Bulgaria had a small population. Under the compulsory military service system, almost all of these high-level officials had been in the army.

In this context, even in peaceful times, the government did not suppress the army, and the two sides have long been tied together.

For all of this, Ferdinand never thought of breaking it. This is the basic national condition of Bulgaria, and it still belongs to the kind of whoever touches it.

As long as Bulgaria does not amend its constitution to abolish compulsory military service, this situation is unlikely to change.

Don't look at the large population of Bulgaria now and think that the national military service system is a joke. In fact, all Bulgarian men, as long as they are in good health, have to enter the army for a year and a half when they reach the age of 20.

There is no exception for anyone. If you escape military service, it also means the beginning of a tragic life.

Those who are aristocrats will not be able to inherit the title; those who are in politics will never be able to be promoted; those who are in business will not be able to obtain bank loans; any social welfare has nothing to do with them...

The only exceptions are those admitted to universities and engaged in scientific research, which were approved by Ferdinand.

The military service bill was written into the constitution at the beginning of the founding of the country. In 1888, some unspoken rules were clarified in legal form.

At that time, Bulgaria's population was only four million, and it was in the center of the Balkans, living a precarious life. For the sake of national security, Ferdinand clarified these issues.

Then, it became the basic national policy of Bulgaria and was continued.

Most of the 700,000-strong Bulgarian army now consists of these service members. Now that conscripts are retired, they cannot be called demobilized soldiers, because all Bulgarian youths have to serve in the military.

In addition to their monthly subsidy of 128 levs, they can also take away their own rifle when they retire.

Therefore, Bulgaria is also the country with the highest gun ownership rate in Europe. Ferdinand did not control guns, but only bullets.

Any private manufacture of guns and ammunition is prohibited. If you want bullets, you can go to the local police station to apply. You can buy them as long as you explain the reason.

The only restriction is that you have to return the eggshell the next time you buy, or you will have to pay a fine.

Of course, the most important thing is that you can't control it if you want to. In order to gain independence in the Balkans, the old and weak, women and children were all armed with guns, and they couldn't be stopped at all!

In Ferdinand's view, there is no problem for everyone in Europe to hold guns, except France. The revolutionary enthusiasm of the French people is too high. Whoever is the king must ban guns, otherwise there is really no way to guarantee safety.

Your Majesty, the Russian issue is imminent now, should we suspend the immigration work in the Caucasus region, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble? Constantine asked tentatively

No, most of the Caucasus are ethnic minorities. They are not recognized by the Russians at all. Even if there is any trouble, as long as the garrison takes decisive action, it will not cause trouble!

Now that we have exempted the local people from taxation, and started to provide relief with work over there, compared with the Russian government, I believe the local people will make a normal choice.

Besides, there are only a group of old and weak women and children left in the Caucasus region. What can they do? Ferdinand thought for a while and said

After thinking about it, Konstantin also let go of this worry. Bulgaria has absorbed so many Russian immigrants, and there has been no trouble. Do you still care about a group of old and weak women and children?

The same cultural heritage is the biggest advantage of people's integration. Many people have been assimilated without realizing it.
