Chapter One Hundred and Three, Immigration
Butler Karl replied: "Grand Duke, it's been figured out!" At present, there are five large and small gold mines under the Royal Bank, and the preliminary estimate of reserves is about 180 tons. There are also several states with mining rights, which have not yet been proven! ”
"Well, where there is no exploration, organize manpower exploration as soon as possible! Is there a mining plan for the gold mines that have been identified? "Ferdinand
"Yes, Grand Duke! We're going to organize a large-scale exploration right away! Of the five gold mines that are already being mined, none of them were previously mined on a large scale, with less than a thousand miners! Our initial plan is to focus on the development of two of the simple mining mines, and the other three mines will be small-scale mining for the time being! It is planned to recruit more than 20,000 miners, mainly for migrant workers! "Steward Carl
Ferdinand nodded, satisfied with Steward Karl's plan. The easy and then the difficult mining is undoubtedly in line with reality, and at the same time satisfies Ferdinand's purpose of raising funds in the short term; All miners recruit outsiders, which can save labor costs to the greatest extent, and mining is a high-risk job, and casualties are inevitable.
Bulgaria has a limited population, and the life of every citizen is precious! And if there are too many deaths, domestic public opinion will not be able to suppress it at all, after all, there are many relatives!
It doesn't matter if the outsiders come in, before they merge in, no matter how many Ferdinand die, it doesn't feel distressed, anyway, there are people on the hairy bear's side!!
"Go ahead and do it, the Resettlement Agency will make it convenient for you, and I hope the gold mine can be put into production as soon as possible!" Ferdinand said seriously
"Your Excellency, please rest assured!! You'll have good news for the coming year! Butler Carl said with a smile
……
Count Paul has been in a good mood lately, and since he became ambassador to Bulgaria, although his status is incomparable with that of the ambassador to Germany, his wallet has swelled a lot, and he has made a bunch of new friends in the country.
Since the establishment of the Conservative Alliance, the number of immigrants from Russia to Bulgaria has increased day by day! Of course, Count Paul's matchmaking is also indispensable, and commissions are naturally indispensable.
The Russian Empire is now in its heyday, not to mention that the country is peaceful, and the Jews who everyone shouts and beats are removed, on the whole, the world is still peaceful! Naturally, there are very few immigrants on the normal route, so how can it be possible to meet the needs of Bulgaria?
But it doesn't matter, as long as you have money, you can always find someone!
With the gradual popularization of mechanized agricultural technology, the Russian aristocracy keenly discovered that the once precious wealth - "serfs" is now of little use! Historically, these "serfs" or "hired peasants" were abandoned by the aristocracy and gradually migrated to the cities and became workers.
Now the nobles have a new option to "sell" to Bulgaria! No, it is for the early realization of the great strategic concept of assimilation of Bulgaria and the expansion of the territory of the great Russian Empire!!
Count Paul's business has increased, and there are countless reasons for the change of position, helping to pull a line, and the largest human smuggling syndicate in human history was born!!
Now it can be said that it has been "specialized", and the price can be clearly marked: young men, women, children, and the elderly, the price is different; Not only that, but different nationalities have different prices!!
It looks like I want to go to the supermarket, all of which are for you to buy, as long as you can afford the money, you have everything!
Ferdinand was not a fool, he wanted everyone, except for the honest peasants, everyone else such as street gangsters, criminals, revolutionaries, etc., all turned away.
You must know that the Russian Empire has more than 200 nationalities, large and small, and Bulgaria does not have all the nationalities. First of all, don't be surprised by language, culture and customs, and secondly, don't want races with too strong a sense of independence. If you don't know a lot of words, it's best to not even know which nationality you belong to!!
Under such conditions, most of the nationalities of the Russian Empire were excluded. To sum it up:
Bulgarians are the most popular, unfortunately there are not many;
The second is the Slavs, but as the main ethnic group of the Russian Empire, the small life is relatively good, and the desire to emigrate is not strong;
Again, there are the Ukrainians, probably the Ukrainian plains are too rich, their nationalism is not strong;
Then there are a bunch of ethnic minorities, the population base is too small, there is no cultural inheritance, and so on.
For this, the Russian aristocracy has not laughed at Bulgaria less, it is completely collecting rags! What is the use of a group of illiterate farmers?
From the beginning of the Great Migration, until now. The total number of immigrants from the Russian Empire to Bulgaria has exceeded 250,000, but the quality of the population is surprisingly low, according to the statistics of the Migration Department, the per capita literacy is less than 20!!
However, Ferdinand was very satisfied with this, it is good to be illiterate, simple-minded, and easy to fool and brainwash!
Just tell them that if you call yourself Bulgarian, you can get one more loaf of bread, and then they are all Bulgarians, and whoever dares to say that they are not, they will be in a hurry with you!!
This problem, the officials of the immigration department are the most experienced, as long as the gossip is released, and it is indeed an extra bread every day, the Bulgarian people suddenly grow inexplicably!!
You must know that Ferdinand did not open a charity hall, and the Bulgarian government is not a charity, all the expenses and expenses of immigrants are paid by the government in advance, and they need to be repaid by individuals themselves in the later stage, including interest!! But if you are Bulgarian, you only need to repay half of it, and the interest is waived!!
You must know that the cost of immigration is not a small amount, and with the Bulgarian government's resettlement fee, including interest, this figure is even more terrifying. If you are an ordinary worker and work hard for five years without eating or drinking, you can pay it back!!
Knowing this news, everyone is even more afraid to expose their original nation, for fear of being pursued for immigration fees!! It's better to be Bulgarian, the immigration fee only needs to be half of it, and you don't have to pay interest, and you can deduct 10% of your salary every month, which can be paid back slowly, and once you join the Bulgarian nationality, all of them will be free!
If you tell a lie a thousand times, it will become the truth, and anyway, when the next generation rises, it will be the real Bulgarians.
Although many people did not understand why this was done, at Ferdinand's insistence, "Bulgarianization" was implemented as a national policy!! Just kidding, after ten or twenty years, you will know the benefits of having more Juche nationalities!
