Mediterranean Hegemony Road

After the establishment of the interim cabinet, Ferdinand eliminated dissidents in the name of anti-corruption, vigorously cultivated cronies, and tried to dilute the influence of the Liberal Party. Among them, Boris Christoph made a great contribution!

Boris Christophe, the anti-corruption chief who is a great hero, is now busy every day, happy and painful. His ideal has come true, but the leisurely life is gone forever.

Now he is the sky in the eyes of the people and the butcher in the eyes of officials. Ferdinand gave Boris Christophe full confidence. As long as he was eyeing him, few would be able to escape.

He was unselfish, and no matter who pleaded for mercy, he did not show face, and Ferdinand was no exception. Even the intelligence officers under Fuhu were affected by Chiyu, and a few unlucky people with dirty hands and feet were imprisoned.

Fuhu simply pushed the boat along the way, and let them go to the prison to spy on the criminals, and make meritorious deeds. Now Bulgaria is doing a lot of infrastructure, and most of these criminals will be sent to work as coolies.

The anti-corruption bureau led by Boris is now sending people to court every three to five, and the efficiency is amazing. As a result, the Bulgarian court had to organize a separate temporary court to try corrupt officials.

The media also gave him the laudatory title of official slaughter, and Boris Christoph became the most popular person in Bulgarian folk.

Boris Christoph's efforts have not been in vain. In addition to the arrest of a large number of corrupt officials, the people have once again restored their trust in the government.

In order to better develop the economy, Ferdinand merged the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Economy, and the promotion of local officials, economic development has become an important indicator.

Combining the actual situation in Bulgaria, Ferdinand established the merger of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education. The water conservancy department, which originally belonged to the Ministry of the Interior, was placed under the Ministry of Agriculture.

Thanks to the huge legacy left by Stam's cabinet, Bulgaria's long-term financial crisis has been resolved. It gave Ferdinand sufficient confidence to accelerate the industrialization of Bulgaria.

In agriculture, a large number of borderless lands were nationalized as a result of the Blurry Holocaust. At the same time, a part of the hidden land was confiscated, which was also confiscated by the government. The government now directly controls one-third of Bulgaria's land.

In order to alleviate class conflicts, Ferdinand stipulated that the maximum land tax should not exceed 30%, and the land owner was responsible for paying agricultural taxes.

Ferdinand decided to gradually build farms in the plains, adopt mechanized operations, and promote technological upgrading in the agricultural industry.

...

At the ministerial meeting at the end of 1889, Konstantin Etolov said with a rosy face: Your Excellency the Grand Duke, the domestic economy is developing very well now, and the new investment in half a year is as high as 50 million levs!

Ferdinand smiled and nodded, signaling him to continue. I thought to myself: That's a good ass, most of them are their own investment or government investment, and there is very little real private capital!

Constantine continued: From June to now, there have been 1,035 new factories of various sizes across the country. Among them, there are 12 large factories with capital exceeding 1 million and employing more than 1,000 people. !

The government has invested a total of 12.85 million levs, mainly for the large railway plan, supporting road construction, and some infrastructure construction! So far, the overall progress is smooth!

Next year, we will continue to promote the development of industrialization, and at the same time, we will continue to increase government investment in infrastructure projects. The main project is to continue to complete the railway plan, as well as urban supporting construction, to create favorable conditions for the development of industry and commerce!

Ferdinand knew that he was preparing for the competition for the budget for the coming year. He smiled and said, Okay, the work of the government is still worthy of recognition!

After Ferdinand finished speaking, he turned his attention to Defense Minister Sava Mutkurov. In order to control the military, Ferdinand made major adjustments to the army. The original senior generals in the army,

Most were promoted to the Ministry of National Defense.

Sava-Mutkurov became the Minister of Defense by virtue of his old qualifications and early resignation. From Ferdinand's point of view, military personnel who were born in the Ministry of National Defense should be professional.

Sava-Mutkurov is still very grateful to Ferdinand, not to mention that he is also a Liberal, but the position of Defense Minister has always been a civilian, and he has no part at all.

Understanding what Ferdinand meant, Sava-Mutkurov immediately said: Your Excellency, our army has just undergone a major reorganization, and the current problem is that most of the weapons and equipment have fallen behind. Not to mention the European powers, even if the Compared with Greece and Serbia, there is also some distance in firepower!

At present, our military industry is still lagging behind. The machinery and equipment in the arsenal is outdated and needs to be updated urgently, and it can only produce guns, ammunition, and small-caliber artillery.

Ferdinand thought for a while and said cautiously: The problem of the arsenal really needs to be solved urgently, and it can be given priority in next year's financial budget. But the issue of army training, you must hurry up and build an elite division as soon as possible!

Don't worry, Your Excellency! Training and training, we will do it! Sava Mutkurov assured

Knowing that it was his turn to speak, James Pedinov said, Your Excellency, due to the fluctuations in the first half of the year, agricultural production has been somewhat affected this year, and the cultivated area has dropped by 3 percentage points compared with previous years.

However, with the promotion of new agricultural technologies, the yield per mu has increased, and in some areas, the yield has even increased by more than 8%! Generally speaking, it is the same as last year.

Ferdinand smiled and said, That's right! Keep working hard and try to reach another level this year!

The last to stand up and speak was Chekov. Although the Minister of Education has the lowest authority, the cabinet ranking is exactly the opposite.

This is Ferdinand's trickery, using small to control the big. Constantine, who has the most real power, can't even enter the cabinet. Chekov, who has the smallest real power, ranks the highest in the cabinet.

Chekov cleared his throat and said, Your Excellency, the education industry has developed rapidly this year, and the second batch of college students has also successfully entered the school. In addition, five new higher vocational colleges in China have begun to recruit students, including two normal schools. College, a medical college, and the remaining two are general technical colleges! Basically, it can meet the educational needs of Bulgaria.”

The promotion of literacy education to the society has also made very good progress. The total number of illiterates has dropped by 10%. It is expected that within ten years, illiteracy can be basically eliminated!

Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction. Chekov's autonomy was lacking, but his execution ability really had nothing to say.
