At a time when Italy and France were building new battleships, and Romania was replenishing its naval strength. As a neighbor of Romania, Bulgaria is still in turmoil, and it may still be a bit inaccurate to say that it should be even more in turmoil.

Speaking of which, Bulgaria is bitter enough. The people of the whole country tightened their belts and cut down on food and clothing, and it was not easy to defeat Turkey, the mountain that was pressing on their heads, and they won rich results. As a result, half of the gains in the Balkan War were lost after a hard battle, and the First World War was misplaced, not only lost all the results, but also took a lot of capital.

Years of war not only destroyed Bulgaria's economy, but also saddled it with huge reparations. The turmoil over the years has been largely caused by popular discontent and reparations, and the Sofia government has racked its brains in order to revive the economy. In recent years, Bulgaria has gradually recovered, and the people's lives have gradually improved.

Who knew that at this time, a financial crisis that swept the world would suddenly erupt, making the previous efforts completely in vain. Exports, on which the government depends, have also been hit hard by the economic crisis.

In fact, if you think about it, the largest export value of Bulgaria is cigars and rose oil. This thing can neither be eaten nor drunk, and it is only necessary after people have satisfied the problem of food and clothing. And now most people are still hungry, who will spare money to buy this, so the collapse of exports of these two items has made the Bulgarian economy even worse.

Moreover, Bulgaria is an agricultural country (and imports grain), and there is not enough industry to make a profit for it, so now Bulgaria is really difficult. Farmers in Bulgaria, in particular, are also counting on selling roses in their fields in exchange for enough food and subsistence items. Now that everything is in vain, since it is time to run out of food, then don't think that these peasants still have to keep to themselves. So the Bulgarian turmoil began.

Lolkov quietly walked out of his house, he was a little heavy, and no one came to buy the roses he grew at home. There was no bread and milk, and at breakfast his wife quietly told herself that there were only two days' worth of potatoes. The implication is that he needs to find a way to get through this time, and he knows the situation of his neighbors, and everyone has no food to spare. What should I do?

The troubled Lorkoff walked out of the village with these sorrows, and first went to the town to find out if there were any merchants who bought them, and then said that if he could sell the roses, he would be able to alleviate the present difficulties to some extent. I heard that the economy is not good now, so why haven't the acquisition businessmen come this year yet?

The bumpy road didn't make Lolkov uncomfortable, but when he was about to get to the town, the noise coming from the town made him a little confused. They don't have a lot of noise in their town, and this time something must have happened. He wanted to find out, and involuntarily quickened his pace.

When I walked into the town, I found that there were many people gathered here, but they were all angry, and from time to time some people cursed loudly. Lolkov stepped forward and pulled a man and asked. "Dude, what's going on?"

The person who was pulled by him immediately told the reason. It turns out that someone came to buy roses today, which is naturally a good thing. Most of their towns are farmers who grow this rose, so they are naturally full of anticipation.

However, this time the purchase price was too low, only 29 leva for 100 kilograms of roses, which was unacceptable to them.

"Last year, it was still more than 80 leva per 100 catties, how did it drop so much this year."

"If I sell at this price, I won't even get the cost back."

The onlookers were talking. At the center of their attention, a well-dressed businessman was smoking a cigarette slowly. Probably annoyed by these voices, I saw him stand up and speak.

"This year's purchase price is only so much, and if you don't want to sell it, you can rot in the ground. I'll tell you that I'm the only buyer here this year. If you don't believe that you can take these roses to Plovdiv and buy them yourself, I'll give him five times the difference if the price is higher than mine. ”

The buyer's sworn words caused a commotion in the crowd, and at this moment they believed the arrogant buyer's words. But the problem now is that the purchase price can't even recover the capital, which makes them live in the future.

Lolkov also had a helpless expression on his face at this time, thinking that his wife and children at home still had a year of hard work, and his unwilling emotions spread in his heart.

At this time, a person came out of the crowd and stood in front of the buyer.

"Makelyde, can you mention the purchase price this time, if you follow this purchase price, too many people will not be enough to eat, let alone buy seeds and fertilizers and other materials next year. You can't buy this year and not come next year. ”

Buyer Makelay smoked a cigarette and looked up at the man in front of him.

"I told me who it was. Robotov, this price is not set by me, it is the same price in Plovdiv, there will be no higher price, and there will be no lower price. ”

"As for the question of whether you sell or not."

Marklyde stood up and glanced contemptuously at the crowd around him. "You can decide for yourselves. Anyway, exports have plummeted this year, and workers are being laid off in factories. ”

Marked's words caused another commotion in the crowd, and some of the less good-tempered people tried to squeeze in front and beat the profiteer.

Undaunted, with a wave of his hand, several strong men with huge waists stood in front of him. Confident, he continued. "Listen up, you guys, the price won't change this year. I tell you that you are not afraid, not only Plovdiv but also the whole of Bulgaria is at this price, if you are not willing to sell yourself and take out the country, you can sell it at a higher price in other countries than I bought it, but can you afford the cost on the way? ”

The peasants present saw that the most prestigious Robertov still failed to negotiate, and their inner frustration was nowhere to vent. The difficulties of reality made many people choose to bow their heads, they slowly left the crowd, and went home to bring these products first.

And the performance of these people made Robrotov anxious in his eyes, but he couldn't do anything about it. I could only scold fiercely. "This damn world."

But at this time, there was a commotion at the scene, and someone couldn't stand the exploitation of this profiteer, so he couldn't help but wave his fist and give him a shot while he wasn't paying attention.

Marked, who was covering his cheek, immediately shouted at a sharp voice. "Beat this guy up for me, beat this bastard to death."

Under the orders of the boss, the thugs swung their fists around a young man and beat up the troublemaker.

Seeing this, Robotov immediately stepped forward to persuade him. "Stop, I'll tell you to stop."

The thugs looked back at their boss, and only after receiving instructions did they let go of the young man who had been beaten to a bruised nose and swollen face.

Robertov stepped forward to pick up the young man, whom he knew to be a young man from the village of Polk next door, who seemed to be named Clemmons.

"For your sake, I don't care about this lawless young man this time. However, the purchase price will not change, so you can do it yourself. ”

After leaving these words, Marklyde swaggered away with his men.

Lolkov, who witnessed all this, could only curse secretly. "What kind of world is this, and the government doesn't care about these profiteers."
