Chapter 15: The Bulgarian Government Lacking Money
Ferdinand had no opinion on the government's innovation. He will support any policy that promotes national integration!
Can the various ethnic groups in Bulgaria now be integrated? In Ferdinand's opinion, there was no problem at all!
Religious beliefs, language and writing, and ethnic customs are basically the same, as long as there is a voice telling them that everyone is a nation, and after a long time, the fake will come true!
Originally, there were few ethnic minorities in Bulgaria, and after the immigration from Russia, the number of new "Bulgarians" increased dramatically, including Ukrainians, Poles, Slavs, Armenians, ...... Dozens of ethnic groups, large and small.
But now that they all call themselves Bulgarians, scattered in the crowd, who can tell them apart??
Well, in fact, for a long time, which nationality they are, these honest peasants, I can't figure it out, which nationality the big man says they are, which nationality they are!
You read that right, when nationalism broke out at the end of the 19th century, many peasants who couldn't read a basket of characters were racialized!
Therefore, when you occasionally open the history books, you will find that the population of the existing ethnic groups suddenly skyrockets, and the population of some ethnic groups suddenly plummets, and they are often assimilated!
In any case, until now, Bulgaria's policy of national integration has been very successful! Immigrants are often more like Bulgarians than real Bulgarians, and whoever dares to say that they are not Bulgarians, they can immediately turn their faces!
In this regard, Ferdinand has to thank the Russian nobles for their contributions. If it weren't for their hard work day and night, desperately squeezing to death, these immigrants would not have developed such a strong sense of identity with Bulgaria so quickly!
The Paussee War is the best example of this. At the time of Bulgaria's mobilization, immigrants who had just obtained Bulgarian citizenship were not at all less enthusiastic about signing up for the army! In order to catch up with the production of strategic materials, Bulgarian factories choose to work overtime, and they are not lagging behind, and they are doing their best to integrate into this society!
Of course, there will still be contradictions between immigrants and local residents, but with the victory of the Baosai War, everything has disappeared, and the initial immigrants have passed practical actions and won everyone's recognition!
At the cabinet meeting, Konstantin asked with a headache: "Mr. Kennedy, according to the government's plan, how much will we run a deficit this year?" ”
Chancellor of the Exchequer, John F. Kennedy, after thinking about it, said: "To complete all the government's plans, according to the most optimistic estimates, there will be at least 50 million leva of fiscal deficit!" ”
Konstantin nodded, the number was still within the expected range. According to the original plan, the second tranche of government bonds should have been issued, but now it is clear that no one has mentioned it.
Everyone still knows how last year's treasury bonds were sold, and even if the Bulgarian people are patriotic, they can't come up with money now.
The capitalists don't have to think about it, last year's Baosai war also delayed everyone's business for two months, and the losses of the capitalists are not a few.
After the victory of the war, the Bulgarian government did not have so much money to compensate, and it was a few big capitalists who took the lead in giving up compensation to save face for the government.
For this reason, everyone was moved for a long time. In the end, in the name of the government, a plaque was sent to each of them, and no one thought of continuing to fight their ideas.
Lending to the Great Powers? Konstantin immediately dispelled this idea, the key is that in these years, the appetite of the great powers is not small, and the interest is just that, but the additional conditions can definitely make people want to cry.
Konstantin asked, "What are your good ideas?" The financial crisis can be solved! ”
"Why don't we fight corruption again? You can clean up the moths and raise funds, killing two birds with one stone! Chekov thought for a moment and said
Everyone nodded, the Bulgarian government's family background was obtained by stealing the family. For this, everyone is familiar with the business.
Anti-corruption? If a corrupt official is caught and his house is raided, the Bulgarian government will not have time to analyze which is illegal and which is legal?
As long as a corrupt official catches one and counts one, he will be beaten to death with a stick and all family property will be confiscated. Relatives within five generations must examine the origin of their property, and if they find that they are hidden, they must also sit together.
Accepting bribes, which is still a legal income for officials in Bulgaria, can be rewarded with a tenth as long as the anti-corruption department reports it!
As for the bribe-giver, of course, they have fallen into eight lifetimes of bad luck, the old rules are raiding, who calls the Bulgarian government poor?
As far as Ferdinand knew, the central government alone had issued hundreds of legal provisions on the seizure of homes, and many crimes of a heinous nature were followed by provisions on the seizure of homes.
In order to raise money, the Bulgarian government has gone to great lengths.
There are definitely not a few provisions of the local government on fines, such as littering, spitting, the first offense, the fine is the offender's income for one day, the second time doubled, and so on, and those without income are calculated according to the average income.
Even so, the Bulgarian government is still facing a financial crisis.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer questioned: "I have no problem with anti-corruption! The problem is the anti-corruption thing, we often do it, now it would be good to catch a few small trash fish, if you want to solve the funding gap, I'm afraid it's a drop in the bucket! ”
Everyone smiled awkwardly, didn't they? In order to raise money for the Bulgarian government, it is probably the most active place in the world to fight corruption, and it is possible to come once in a while!
Now the Bulgarian government can proudly declare that they are now the cleanest government in the world!
Even if an official is bold, he must have room to play! Now Bulgarian officials are already famous for collecting money and not doing anything, and they will send you to prison when they are done. What idiot still dares to give them gifts?
Whether it's good or bad, don't judge it yourself! In any case, the reputation of the people has surpassed that of previous governments since independence.
Konstantin thought for a while and said very reluctantly: "If there is really no way, we can only sell the land in the country!" ”
Kennedy's face changed, you must know that the land in the hands of the government is already one of the main revenues of the government!
This income has always been calculated separately from fiscal revenue! It is mainly used for military spending, and if the land is sold now, the income in the coming year will be greatly reduced!
"No! Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you should be aware that we now receive hundreds of millions of leva from the land every year, directly allocated to the army. Now that we have sold a large amount of land, our income will be greatly reduced in the coming year, and what will we do with military spending? Kennedy asked
