"Colorful open-top carriages running on the streets, mountains of grain in the warehouses of rich families, large color photographs of 'beautiful women' everywhere in entertainment venues, and ......

The unspeakable misery of the people, they have nothing on the table, they have no food, and it is rare to eat a meal of white bread for many years......"

Don't you feel familiar, that's right, this is the original description of Shanghai Beach (adapted by the author). This is the current state of affairs in the Balkans, and it was the same in Bulgaria two years ago.

Thanks to the purges of the Stam period, which swept away a large number of wealthy classes, Ferdinand had enough accumulation to relax the exploitation of the people and let the common people breathe a sigh of relief.

Along the way, Ferdinand discovered that most of the entertainment venues of yesteryear were closed. The faces of the people shone with hope, taxes returned to normal levels, and the mountains that weighed on them were taken away.

The most important thing is that the loan sharks owed do not have to be repaid, the dead will not come to collect the debts, and there are still many people who are grateful to the Stamm government for this.

Despite the notoriety of the Stam government, in fact, its contribution to the country is still the largest of all Bulgarian governments.

Bulgaria is a mountainous and hilly forest that covers about 64 percent of the country. (Note: This is the topography of 1891; After successive defeats in the Second Balkan War and the two world wars, Bulgaria lost a large part of the plains, and later the mountain and hilly forests rose to 79 percent. ）

In the era when railways are still under construction and automobiles are still being developed. Even if Ferdinand was king, he had to rely on a carriage to get around, and he suffered from bumps.

As for why he didn't ride a horse, Ferdinand before Li Mu crossed over was a standard knight; But now Ferdinand, whether he will not fall off on horseback is a question!

Fortunately, after the crossing, Ferdinand's body was very good and he could withstand it, if Li Mu in his previous life would have vomited and diarrhea.

Along the way, as Ferdinand expected, the industrialization process everywhere was not bad. In terms of agriculture, new technologies have been rapidly promoted in the plains, while progress has been slow in the mountainous areas.

Of course, there was another benefit that Ferdinand did not notice, and everywhere he passed, a road was born in advance.

This ordinary road became the first connected transportation hub in Bulgaria, and was historically called: "Imperial Avenue", and was also nicknamed by the folk: "Chama Walk", which means: the avenue that the king inspected and walked.

Now Ferdinand has arrived in the city of Burgas in southeastern Bulgaria, which is located on the western shore of the Black Sea, the capital of the state of Burgas, and borders the Gulf of Burgas on the Black Sea. It is the second largest city in Bulgaria in terms of comprehensive economic strength in the future, and the central city on the southern shore of the Black Sea in Bulgaria, with an important position in industry and transportation.

Its history dates back to the ancient Greek period. In the medieval period, the city began to develop. It is also an important transit hub for tourists to the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, and also has industries such as petroleum, chemical, salt drying and iron mining.

Today, Burgas is just an ordinary small port. The main reason why Ferdinand came here was that the first main line in Bulgaria was opened, from Sofia to Burgas, with a total length of 580 kilometers. (Some of the sections, which were there before, were just connected.) ）

Ferdinand knew that with the construction of the railway, Burgas would be on the fast track to rapid development in the future.

Parallel to the time and space, the port of Burgas is responsible for 60% of Bulgaria's national maritime transportation, has a well-developed petrochemical industry, and is home to the largest oil refinery in the Balkans.

At the same time, it is also the center of the fishing industry in Bulgaria, which is influenced by the oceanic climate and the humid temperate continental climate, which is suitable for the development of agriculture.

In addition to the production of grain crops such as wheat, corn, and barley, there are also cash crops such as grapes, apples, almonds, and cherries.

The opening of the Sofia to Burgas railway is definitely a big event for Bulgaria. The railway passes through several cities and runs through the east and west of Bulgaria.

Ferdinand no longer remembered the original name of the railway, and directly according to his habit, he took the first word of the two cities. Thus was born the nondescript name "Sorbian Railway".

The "Sorbian Railway" is the main artery of Bulgaria, with extremely high military and economic value, and if the various branch lines are connected, the traffic of the whole of Bulgaria will be alive.

The opening ceremony of the "Sorbian Railway" was very grand, Ferdinand attended the opening ceremony in Burgas, and on the other side, Chekov presided over the opening ceremony in Sofia on behalf of the government.

Two trains, one after the other, from Sofia and Burgas, took twelve and a half hours to reach their destination safely.

In fact, in order to ensure a smooth operation, it has been tested many times before, and now it is just a formality.

On that day, the Bulgarian newspapers reported the good news to the people on their front pages.

Ferdinand didn't feel much of it, and after seeing the speed of high-speed rail, it was really difficult for him to feel strong for a railway with a speed of less than 50 kilometers per hour.

In fact, at the end of the 19th century, the "Sorbian Railway" could only be described as ordinary. It is the most common steam locomotive, and the only advantage is that the technology is mature and reliable.

Although Ferdinand knew that in the near future, it would be eliminated and the railway would have to be greatly transformed, but there was nothing he could do.

Nevertheless, it did not in any way affect the position of the "Sorbian Railway" in Bulgaria. From now on, Bulgaria can be visited from east to west.

Economically, the cost of material transportation has been greatly reduced, and people's communication has become more convenient, which has promoted economic development.

Militarily, the pressure on national defense has been greatly reduced, and the strength of a regiment can be put into most parts of the country in one day; In three days, this number can be magnified to a division. The premise is that the branch lines in various places are also connected, otherwise the logistics supply will definitely be a problem.

Ferdinand still underestimated the impact of the opening of the "Sorbian Railway".

Throughout Bulgaria, people spontaneously organized celebrations. Of course, the common demonstrations in later generations do not exist, they are obstructing public transportation, and it is illegal.

Most of them are friends who get together, brag to each other, imagine the future, and discuss the present. There are also merchants who take the opportunity to hold a promotion.

All in all, Bulgarians are very conservative at this stage. Not only is life simple, but even in daily behavior, it is also very conservative and follows tradition. The spring breeze of democracy and freedom has not yet reached their hearts.

Ferdinand was enjoying the good time when an uninvited guest interrupted his trip.
