Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Grand Duke, educators also need to eat! Have you noticed that since Bulgaria's independence, education funding has never been sufficient. Basically, every government is in arrears, and some time ago, you happened to make up the arrears.

Ferdinand exclaimed: What a word to wake up the dreamer! Co-authored, they hit me on the head.

But when it comes to what I want, it is not easy for the school to intervene. Now that I am a well-deserved principal, it would be too simple to intervene.

Ferdinand, who had figured out the reason, naturally would not continue to refuse. But Ferdinand also knew that he was only a nominal principal and could not devote all his energy to the school. The usual school management work is still left to others.

Karl, call Chekov back and tell him I agree. Ferdinand said with a smile

Okay, Your Excellency! Carl said, and went out the door.

After a while, Chekov came in to say hello to Ferdinand.

Okay, for God's sake, I promise to take the position of the principal. But the rest of the teaching staff will be handed over to the Ministry of Education, and the enrollment in the second half of the year must be done well! Ferdinand said with a serious heart say

Okay, Your Excellency, our Ministry of Education will definitely do our best, I can swear to God! Chekov assured

Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, Well, tell me about your plan?

Chekov pondered for a while, and said, Grand Duke, you know that Bulgaria is the first to establish a university and lack relevant experience. Our Ministry of Education plans to hire management talents and some teachers from Austria-Hungary and the German Empire!

Ferdinand pondered for a while and thought to himself: It seems that the Liberals have a good impression of the Allies! Education in Russia itself is not very good, and it is normal to ignore it; Britain and France have not mentioned it, this is not a good phenomenon!

Thinking so in my heart, Ferdinand is not a novice, so naturally he won't say it directly, which is politically inadvisable.

Report your plan to me as soon as possible, as well as the division of faculties and majors of Bulgarian universities, the number of students enrolled, and report to me together! Ferdinand looked at Chekov and said

Okay, Your Excellency! Chekov said loudly.

Well, go get busy! Ferdinand said, looking at the high-spirited Chekov

Yes, Chekov said, and left the palace.

On the other side, in the Sofia government building, there is now a lot of noise. Stam-Bolov shook his head helplessly and patted the table hard.

Said: For God's sake, you are not arguing anymore! It's all about the goddamn money, and you can't make money even if you quarrel!

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Stam continued: Bulgaria's financial situation, you all know that if we do nothing, we can make ends meet, but is this possible?

If you don't do anything, what do you want us to do? Instead of fighting for the budget here, you might as well think about how to get the money!

Let's think about it, let's get a loan from a foreign bank! Industry Minister Wilson suggested

No, the bankers are not philanthropists. They will definitely take advantage of the situation and pay a huge price. Besides, the funding gap is so big, what do we take as collateral? Economy Minister Michael objected.

Then raise taxes! suggested Interior Minister Jonas

This is absolutely not possible! The domestic economy is sluggish, and the life of the capitalists is not easy! Stam objected

He is very clear that the Liberal Party was supported by capitalists to come to power. Isn't it self-defeating to raise taxes on them now!

Your Excellency Prime Minister, I also know that the capitalists have a hard time, I mean the peasants can be taxed! explained Yunas

This~ Everyone fell into silence, and no one directly objected.

After a while,

Stam-Bolov said: How about we have a ministerial meeting and discuss it!

Okay! Everyone said in unison.

Everyone knows that raising taxes is not a good job, and being scolded is inevitable. The peasant class did not have much influence, but although the feudal landlords were weak, they were not soft persimmons.

Sure enough, it is the butt that decides the head. In the face of the financial crisis, as in history, the knife is still cut at the peasants.

Historically, Bulgaria has increased the burden on farmers in order to develop industry. Land mergers intensified, and a large number of peasants went bankrupt and lost their land, and were forced to move to the cities to make a living.

The separation of the wife and children is of course indispensable, and blood and tears are sprinkled all over Bulgaria. Although a large number of laborers entered the city and promoted the development of industry, the new working class did not benefit from it. They worked 14-16 hours a day and received less than half of their wages.

It also provided the basis for the development of communism. The subsequent defeat in the World War intensified domestic contradictions, which eventually led to the proletarian revolution.

Ferdinand, who knew the cause and effect, naturally had to think twice. Although he urgently needs to develop the industry, Ferdinand is still worried about the adverse consequences due to his butterfly effect, and finally decides to intervene to a limited extent.

Ferdinand directly rejected the tax increase bill reported by the cabinet. He has already made up his mind that no matter what, he cannot make a large number of farmers go bankrupt as in the past.

Your Excellency the Grand Duke, now the government is in financial crisis, we have to make this last resort! Stambolov said dissatisfiedly

I know! But for God's sake, I can't either! You know, when this bill is passed, thousands of families will go bankrupt, their wives will be separated, and the cries will drown out Bulgaria! Ferdinand said arrogantly

No, Your Excellency. It's not as bad as you think. The life of the peasants will be harder in the next days, but they have to be sacrificed for the development of Bulgaria. Besides, they can still be workers, and there will be no such thing as you said. So bad! Stam said angrily.

Ferdinand sneered and said: Really? Don't take me for a fool. If you follow the new tax law you formulated, a large number of land will be annexed and a large number of farmers will go bankrupt. Don't tell me Bulgaria can provide so many jobs. ?

At that time, a lot of farmers will lose their livelihoods, and then the capitalists can continue to cut wages and make workers work overtime recklessly, right Stam my Prime Minister?

Remember that you are the prime minister of Bulgaria, not the prime minister of the bourgeoisie! A qualified government must take into account the interests of the majority, otherwise we will face endless enemies. A group of people who are about to starve to death will use their lives to You seek justice!
