The birth of the little one brought not only joy to Ferdinand, but also a lot of trouble!

A name can make Ferdinand cut his scalp, the name is not taken randomly, and he also gives it a strong political meaning.

Whether it is German, Russian, or even Bulgarian will affect the direction of Bulgarian politics, and Ferdinand needs to weigh the pros and cons.

If the name is okay, then the religion is even more of a headache. Ferdinand is a Catholic, and the main faith in Bulgaria is Orthodox Christianity, so which religion the little guy converts is the real trouble!

Opt for Catholicism, the Orthodox people are not satisfied; Choose the Orthodox Church, the Catholics are not satisfied, and it is estimated that many people will still doubt the piety of Ferdinand's faith!

Even though it is not the Middle Ages, religion still plays a very important role in Europe.

For Ferdinand, being suspected of being unreligious was a very serious political crisis, and even if it did not shake his throne, the reproaches from all sides were enough for him to drink a pot!

The "Ferdinand" in history suffered from this, because of the faith of his son, Boris III, he directly broke off his friendship with his uncle Ferrantz Joseph I, and turned against a group of relatives and friends!

Ferdinand, who was forced to be helpless, had to resort to procrastination, and directly handed it over to the little guy to decide, let the little guy have a similar ceremony to catch the week, and choose his own faith, for which his mother and wife also launched a battle for the baby's faith!

It's still the 19th century, and the atmosphere of religious belief on the European continent is still very strong, and there are believers everywhere.

Just look at the reaction of his mother and wife, they have been at a stalemate over the issue of the baby's faith, Ferdinand went to mediate, and the two joined forces to attack him for being unreligious!

For this reason, Ferdinand had to choose to make a mud, although many people were dissatisfied with this, but Ferdinand gagged everyone on the grounds of "let God choose".

Although all parties are not satisfied, they can also accept it, after all, is it God's choice? As a believer in God, you will not question God's decisions!

This is also Ferdinand's position has been consolidated, otherwise it is necessary to convert the little guy to Orthodox Christianity once as in history, in order to gain the support of more Orthodox Christians!

Compared with the religious name, it is much simpler, Ferdinand directly named him after himself, called Little Ferdinand, which means inheriting his family business, which is equivalent to announcing to the outside world that the little guy is the crown prince.

Anyway, the little guy is also his eldest son, and according to European tradition, under normal circumstances, the little one's crown is set.

This time it was much better, at least with the unanimous approval of the two hostesses of the family, after all, this kind of thing has happened many times in the European royal family!

I, II...... For more than ten lifetimes, there are many crowns that have been extended in this way, and there is nothing that Ferdinand cannot accept in a few more lifetimes.

Two major events were finalized, Ferdinand fled under the murderous eyes of his wife and mother, and for several days he took a detour, and even went to see the little one less often.

To alleviate the awkward atmosphere, Ferdinand decided to go on a national cruise. In fact, he had this plan last year, but considering that the places are still unstable, he has pressed the time to the present.

Nominally, he traveled the whole country, but in fact Ferdinand could only run a limited number of places, at least until the railway was opened, he could not have traveled all over the country.

Otherwise, from now until the next century, it is estimated that he will still be on the way.

From Sofia, follow the Isker River to Pleven, then take the train to Sillistra and then to Dobro, then take a boat along the Black Sea all the way to Constantinople.

From Constantinople, it travels to Sliven via Edinar and back to Sofia via Plovdiv.

Obviously, this was only the first part of Ferdinand's national tour, and with the exception of Constantinople, most of the rest of the time was spent on the original borders of Bulgaria.

This is very much in line with Ferdinand's character of being afraid of death, and if it weren't for the political significance of Constantinople, he wouldn't have planned to go.

The purpose of this tour was to inspect the industrial development of the country, Constantinople had been battered in the war, and now there was a ghost industry.

There are many industrial remnants in the ruins, but I don't know how long it will take to recover. However, the industries outside the city have been preserved, but unfortunately most of them are traditional handicrafts, and now they are undergoing industrial upgrading.

……

In the golden autumn of October, the blue sky is like a wash, cool and comfortable. Wildflowers on the side of the road swayed in the wind, as if to tell pedestrians something.

At this time, Ferdinand once again set off from Sofia for a second national tour. Unlike the last trip, Bulgaria's industry was just starting and it was almost a blank slate.

At this time, the development of industry and agriculture in various parts of Bulgaria had begun to take shape. Water conservancy projects are blooming on all sides, the road network is crisscrossed, and factories are rising from the ground, and a thriving color.

Located on the banks of the Tuchenishka River in the Danube Plain, Pleven is one of the rich agricultural centers of Bulgaria. At the same time, textile, ceramics, cement, tobacco, canned food and other industries have also developed in recent years.

It is one of the investment priorities of Bulgaria's "Second Five-Year Plan" and the first stop of Ferdinand's visit.

In terms of quantity, the total industrial investment of Pleven Oblast is as high as more than 70 million leva, which is already more than the total industrial volume of the Kingdom of Montenegro at this time, and occupies a very important position in the industrial system of Bulgaria.

Looking at the rows of tall chimneys, thick black smoke lined up into the sky, very incongruous with the endless wheat fields around them.

Ferdinand felt an indescribable strangeness, quite a bit of an inspection of unqualified township black factories.

However, this is the 19th century, and these Dongdong, which even small enterprises in towns and villages will be eliminated in later generations, are the most advanced productive forces of our time.

From time to time, there were also officials who introduced to Ferdinand that so-and-so had adopted advanced French technology, or that he had adopted advanced German technology, or that he had adopted advanced British technology......

Even if Fei couldn't see where these Dongdong were advanced, he still replied with his signature smile, which made the blood of the officials introduced!

Well, the so-called pretending to be B slap in the face, he has no chance to understand. Wherever Ferdinand went, he was notified in advance, and the security measures did not know how many floors there were inside and out.

If you want to see the life of the people, forget it, Ferdinand's courage has always been very small. History told him that TV series are all lies, and anyone who plays micro-servers and goes deep into the people will die miserably in the end!

Especially in the era of thermal weapons, no matter how high his prestige in Bulgaria was, there was never a shortage of people who wanted to assassinate the king.

Not to mention, the fuse of World War I in history was not the unlucky Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, who wanted to play close to the people? He was greeted not only by flowers and applause, but also by flying bullets!

Before him, King Alexander I of Serbia and King George I of Greece were typical examples of pretending to be over-forced, and taught the world a lesson with blood education!

A good king is not right, but he wants to go deep into the people, and the result is good, and they all see God in advance.

This is not as simple as it is said in the history books, basically as long as a king does not die, the possibility of being successfully assassinated is very small.

Just like Ferdinand's travels, martial law is under martial law for several miles, and no one can get close to it within a few hundred meters, if there are still assassins who can break in, it will definitely be fateful!

What is the actual situation, Ferdinand has long known through various channels is clear, and he came out to see it in person, but he made sure again, or it was to urge the officials to work harder.

Along the way, Ferdinand did not encounter anything out of the ordinary, and everywhere was a scene of life.

Other things can be faked, but the farmland on both sides of the road is absolutely not fake.

What's more, Ferdinand's trip was also set suddenly, and the places he passed through were only notified two or three days in advance, and under the conditions at that time, the local government could carry out a major cleaning at most, and it was estimated that nothing else could be done.

Ferdinand's good mood did not stop until Constantinople. At this time, this cosmopolitan metropolis, described as ruins, should be more accurate!

Broken walls, once magnificent high-rise buildings have fallen into dust, and once glorious civilizations have been destroyed in its collapse!

At this time, there are still large groups of workers who are hard at work, trying to clear the ruins and work hard to rebuild the city.

The destruction was also the beginning of a new life, and many historic cities were destroyed in the war, and at this moment Ferdinand had decided to rebuild this ancient city. Of course, this is a matter of the future, and now its role is more of a military port!

Ferdinand did not stay long in Constantinople, and after receiving the top brass of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, he left in a hurry.

Now this is still the territory of the Russians, since it was decided to hand over to the Russians as a military port, Ferdinand did it very thoroughly, and did not even send city administrators.

So now the task of rebuilding Constantinople fell to the Russians, who seemed to be happy to accept the burden, and did a good job except for a little inefficiency.

After leaving Constantinople, Ferdinand once again set foot in the new district of Sliven, a newly rising city that was entirely founded by Ferdinand.

All the properties in the city are inseparable from Ferdinand, whether it is real estate or property, it is his property.

Franz introduced with a fluttering eyebrow: "Your Majesty, since the establishment of the Sliven Development Zone, it has developed rapidly, and now it is one of the top ten metropolises in Bulgaria.

At present, there are more than 233 large and small enterprises and more than 120 factories of various types in the city, with more than 200,000 workers.

The rose industry chain built by our Rose Group alone has 13 supporting factories and more than 80,000 workers, covering all the processes from rose planting to processing into finished products and bringing them to the market!

……”

By this time, Franz had already been appointed head of the development zone, and was the only person in Bulgaria to serve as a businessman in charge of the city.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is Ferdinand's retainer, otherwise it would be impossible to develop across borders like this!

Ferdinand said lightly: "The health care products you have come from are good, and the Queen Mother and Queen love them!" ”

Directly using the best quality rose essential oil as health care products, such a luxury thing, only Ferdinand can do it, and without a little leave, can the effect be bad?

You must know that the price of rose essential oil in the international market is not low, think about the best quality rose essential oil, at least dozens of tons of the best quality rose petals per kilogram, you can refine it, just know!

The international price of this thing also starts at thousands of pounds, and it is still in short supply. Even though Bulgaria is the world's largest producer of rose essential oil, the high-quality rose essential oil produced is not dozens of catties!

Of course, all the essential oil sold on the market is ordinary rose essential oil, and high-quality products have long been monopolized by the aristocracy, even ordinary essential oil costs hundreds of pounds per catty!

Listening to Ferdinand's words, Franz's heart suddenly reached its peak of joy, which was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of his work.

When the new district of Sliven was established, the government's goal was only to build an industrial city with a population of 50,000 within five years, but due to lack of funds, Franz took up the task of contracting the entire management and construction of the new district under the behest of Ferdinand.

At this time, Sliven New District was already a metropolis with a population of more than 300,000 and more than 200,000 industrial workers.

Even if the preferential policies for many enterprises have not yet expired, they can now rank among the top three in the country in terms of annual tax payments to the government, making it one of the most important industrial cities in Bulgaria.

Because of the unfortunate results, when Ferdinand nominated Franz as the mayor of the new district, no one in the Bulgarian government objected. (Administrative level and regional equivalence)

Also because of the rapid development of the new area, Ferdinand's investment has also received rich returns, and now the rent and property management fees of the city are all in tens of millions of leva!

Franz has made such a great contribution, and Ferdinand will certainly not be disadvantaged. In the previous knighthood ceremony, Franz successfully completed the leap from commoner to nobleman and became a viscount of the Kingdom of Bulgaria!

The position of governor of his district was also appointed by Ferdinand after he became a nobleman. Otherwise, according to Bulgarian law, merchants were not entitled to be officials, and nobles were certainly not subject to this restriction.
