After sending James, Ferdinand lay helplessly on the master's chair, and Alice was very understanding and gently rubbed his forehead for him.

"The temple demon is windy, and the king of the pool is eight!"

This sentence fully describes the current situation in Bulgaria, which is the result of a large number of moths that have been cleaned up earlier.

The problems in Bulgaria's agriculture are far from being as simple as they seem, they are simply corruption or embezzlement. The central problem is that agriculture has not attracted the attention of the bureaucracy at all.

The "Five-Year Plan" is in full swing, like the most difficult and most valued "railway plan".

So far, there have been no major problems, not even the most chaotic phase of the Stam period.

Local governments are doing their best to support the construction of railways. Demolition and land acquisition, material transportation, many local governments are organizing manpower and impermanence to help, anyway, Ferdinand has not found anyone who dares to hold back.

Ferdinand could not think of a way to change the ideology of the bureaucracy for a while.

Seeing that Ferdinand was in a bad mood, Alice, who was also a secretary and maid, was also troubled. He proposed: "Grand Duke, do you want to go out for a walk?" ”

"Get out for a walk, yes! It's time to get out and about! Ferdinand said overjoyed

A word woke up the dreamer, and the confused Ferdinand suddenly found a way.

In the history of time and space, the Soviet Union also faced this problem when it implemented its first five-year plan.

It was not until the first half of 1929, when Stalin personally inspected the countryside and supervised the work, that the socialist collectivization of agriculture in the Soviet Union was in full swing.

In the Soviet Union, in just two months, 10 million peasant households joined the collectivization, accounting for half of the country's peasant households. Although there were many problems in between, the Soviet agrarian reform was generally successful.

How can the problems of Bulgaria not be as serious as those of the Soviet Union! Ferdinand only intended to carry out agricultural reform, but he did not touch the private ownership of land, and did not harm the interests of the class.

……

It was snowing heavily in the sky, and it was white everywhere, but the pine trees were still so bright green, and a little snow flakes fell on them, like white flowers.

In February 1891, Ferdinand set out from Sofia for a three-month tour of the country in the bitter cold.

Heading northwest, Ferdy set out with a thousand guards, the first stop being the state of Vlatsa.

Vlatsa is a city in northwestern Bulgaria and the capital of Vlatsa Oblast. It is located on the northern slope of the western part of the Balkan Mountains, where the Leva River flows into the plain.

Strategically located, there are natural gas, chemical, cement, cotton textile, silk textile, cast iron, copper smelting, fertilizer, wood processing and other industries, and in agriculture, wheat and oats are abundant.

The importance of Vlatsa Oblast in Bulgaria cannot be overstated.

In 1974, urea accounted for 96% of Bulgaria's total production, pulp accounted for 24,8%, cement and cotton cloth accounted for 19%.

In agriculture, the state already ranks third in the country in wheat and oat production, fourth in poultry eggs and eighth in milk production.

Of particular note is the fact that the Kozrodui nuclear power station, built in Bulgaria near the village of Kzrodui in the Vlatsa region, was the first in the Balkans and in the whole of South-Eastern Europe.

It is not important that Ferdinand did not pay attention to it, but now the state of Vlatsa is not as brilliant as it was in later generations, industrial development has just begun, and agricultural development is seriously lagging behind.

Ferdinand's surprise attack stunned the bureaucrats of the Vratsa region, who had little time to prepare at the notice because they were only a few days away from Sofia.

Ferdinand didn't go to find their bad luck this time, he patrolled all the way, and the speed was naturally not fast. Everywhere he went, he would send people to inspect the factories and personally go to the countryside, and when he encountered problems, he would directly raise them and order the local government to solve them.

What are the bureaucrats? In his previous life, Ferdinand did not look down on him, and without pressure, he had no motivation, and catering to the political requirements of his superiors was their main motivation for behavior.

The governor of the Vlatsa region, Weizheng Ivanov, was a bourgeois bureaucrat of a new school. Since his accession to power, the industry of Vlatsa has developed rapidly, with an annual growth rate of more than 10%, and has been commended by the government several times.

So even if he came from the Liberal Party and was a die-hard supporter of Stamm Bolov, he was not removed by the new government.

……

Wei Zheng-Ivanov said sharply: "Okay, gentlemen, let's go and prepare now!" The Grand Duke is coming soon, and I don't want him to see a dirty Vratsa, and no one should think about it when something goes wrong! ”

"Don't worry, Governor, we'll do it!" Everyone replied in unison

It is enough to see his prestige, if Ferdinand saw this scene, he would definitely shout "mountainism"!

On 18 February, Ferdinand arrived in Vratsa with a large group of men and was warmly welcomed by the people, whose first image of the city was its cleanliness.

If it were Fratsa in the 21st century, Ferdinand wouldn't be surprised. But it's the 19th century, and the world's cities are dirty, messy, and poor. There is also a saying that "fragrant cars and fine wine stink London", and cleanliness and hygiene have not been paid attention to.

I have to say that Wei Zheng-Ivanov is right, since Ferdinand succeeded to the throne, he has repeatedly issued orders for political cleanliness and hygiene, and only Sofia has been fully implemented at present.

Ferdinand met with Wei Zheng Ivanov and attended the welcome banquet they organized.

Of course, he only showed up once, and after saying less than ten words, he left in a hurry. After all, the identity gap is too big, and it is difficult to play happily together.

"Wei Zheng-Ivanov, you did a great job!" Ferdinand summoned Wei Zheng alone

Wei Zheng-Ivanovlian said: "Don't dare, I just carried out the order of His Excellency the Grand Duke, and I just did my essential work!" ”

Later generations of Westerners were very confident, and they showed a very direct attitude and did not like modesty. In the 19th century, however, their self-confidence had not yet exploded, and at least they were still in awe of those who were in higher positions.

Ferdinand smiled and said, "If you can carry out my orders perfectly, you are a talent!" But that's only part of what I've seen now, and I'm looking forward to the rest of your performance! ”

Wei Zheng-Ivanov was first delighted, then surprised. The order of the central government, Wei Zheng thinks that he has completed it very well! However, it is difficult to say whether it can meet Ferdinand's requirements. There was still some secret regret in his heart: "If I had known earlier that the Grand Duke was going to come to inspect, I would definitely do better." ”

……

Why did so many leaders in later generations have to go around inspecting? Isn't it good to stay in the office? Before the crossing, Ferdinand didn't understand very much, and thought it was just a show. After more than two years as a king, Ferdinand found that it was also necessary to put on a show, at least to put enough pressure on the following!
