Chapter 144: , Aftercare

　　 Ferdinand returning to Sofia, there is a grand ceremony waiting for him to host it himself!
　　 A large number of heroes emerged in the Paul-Serbia War, and some of them had enough credit and needed to be knighted. This work can only be hosted by Ferdinand himself!
　　In order to commemorate the soldiers who died in this war, the Bulgarian government held a national memorial. In order to show the importance of the fallen martyrs, Ferdinand decided to attend.
　　 It should have started long ago, but with the death of Alexander III, Ferdinand went to St. Petersburg, so everyone could only wait.
　　 The material rewards have already begun. You can receive different amounts of cash according to your credit, or you can convert them into newly acquired land on the territory.
　　 Ferdinand’s decision was quickly welcomed by the soldiers. For soldiers from the countryside, nothing is more attractive than land!
　　Unfortunately, for most people, even if the land equivalent price given by the government this time is much lower than the market price, they still don’t get much land.
　　 After all, this war went too smoothly. Basically, it was a tailwind. Hard fights were rarely fought, and the achievements of everyone were not obvious!
　　 After the military submitted an application for cumulative rewards for combat exploits, Ferdinand agreed.
　　Anyway, the Balkans lacks everything, but there is no shortage of war. In order to obtain more land, the military will actively promote war. This is exactly the same as Ferdinand's next strategy!
　　 So an embarrassing scene appeared. The pensions and military merit bonuses prepared by the government in advance were almost unclaimed.
　　 On the other side of the land award window, there was a long line of people. No matter whether they can exchange enough land, everyone is willing to join in the fun.
　　Ferdinand certainly knows the reason. In addition to its low price, Jungongtian has one of the biggest advantages, that is, low taxes. Only half of the normal taxes need to be paid!
　　 This is the root cause of the people's rush. After all, with such a large interest in front of them, it is not unacceptable to move to a new territory.
　　 In order to prevent being annexed by capitalists or nobles, Ferdinand also specifically stipulated that once these military fields are traded, they will lose the half-tax privilege!
　　 And in order to restrict land mergers, the government has always levied a heavy tax of 30% on land transactions.
　　 Under normal circumstances, there are so many restrictions. If the new military landlord can still operate bankruptcy, Ferdinand can only express his admiration.
The maid Alice sent a stack of documents and said: "Grand Duke, this is the list submitted by the military. The first page is for knighting, and the latter is for you to issue a military medal in person according to your request. "
　　 Ferdinand took the list casually and looked at it. The above content is not much, the first page is even less. There are only eight people, all of which have noted their respective achievements and credits. There is no doubt.
　　 The next few pages of the list are mostly marked with red lines. Ferdinand knew that these people were either killed or seriously injured and retired. The military gave them preferential treatment in terms of honor. Naturally, he didn't mean to delve into it.
　　 After all, the living cannot compete with the dead. This is common throughout the world, and it is understandable for others to make some concessions.
　　 Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction, and at last nothing bad happened. If someone really used to fill the count, then his show would be a farce.
　　 On the other side, the cabinet government is already busy. Although the Paul-Serbia War was conducted for a short period of time, a nationwide mobilization was carried out. During the war, it did not matter. Everything served the war and many issues could be postponed.
　　 Now that the war is over, I have to give an explanation!
　　 For the mobilized reserve, a severance pay must be given to severance; the people who take the initiative to participate must also be rewarded, at least for honorary rewards! !
　　 It is one thing to give or not pay compensation to the expropriated factory, but it is always necessary to give an explanation; the used materials must be paid now, and it is impossible to owe it forever. What is the price of the money?
　　The newly acquired territory must always be divided into administrative regions; the rewarded military field must also be sent to preside over the division; you must be prepared to recruit immigrants!
　　……
　　 Anyway, there are a lot of bad things. Everyone is busy and dizzy. It is pain and happiness.
　　 After Christmas, on January 3, 1895, Ferdinand personally presided over the knighthood ceremony at the Sofia Palace.
　　 Considering the war that followed, Ferdinand was very stingy this time. Two viscounts and six barons were taken out as rewards, and they were not hereditary titles!
　　 Of course, his reason is also very good. This time the opponent is Serbia, whoever changes the command can win. The army's performance can only be quite satisfactory. There is nothing to say, and the reward is naturally lower if the difficulty is low.
　　 Of course, this will not cause dissatisfaction in the military. After all, this war basically relied on strength to suppress it all the way, and officers did not have many opportunities to perform. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
　　For example, if you think about the Central Army, sending troops to the enemy's rear and cutting off the supply line is a very good tactic; but the main Serbian force has slipped ahead of time, so it has to be useless and time wasted.
　　 As the main force, the record is smaller than the other two divisions, and I feel ashamed, and there is no face to mention the achievements.
　　 The Left Army took on the main force of the decisive battle this time, and it fought very well. The problem is that the casualties paid are too great, and the military merits of the officers are naturally greatly reduced.
　　 There is nothing to say, you can’t let everyone just look at the record and ignore the casualties, right? Bulgaria is a country with a small population and cannot stand the toss.
　　 The right wing army is not to mention it. It is completely cheap all the way and has not fought a tough battle. The record seems to be good, but the opponents are a group of scum, and their combat achievements cannot be convincing.
　　 To deal with the rabble who just joined the army and couldn't even get their guns together, the Bulgarian Army let go, "A main Bulgarian battalion can deal with a new division in Serbia!"
　　Leave aside the inaccuracy. Anyway, during the Serbian War, a Bulgarian battalion defeated a division without the main Serbian force. It did happen.
　　 As for the subsequent awards, Ferdinand no longer suppressed, he would do whatever he wanted, and everything should be done according to the rules!
　　 Even though he didn't like to show, Ferdinand smiled and personally put each medal on the officers and soldiers, and patted his shoulder to show encouragement.
　　 Those who have died can only be collected by their family members. Only their portraits appeared at the scene for the admiration of the world.
　　Considering the differences between Chinese and Western cultures, Ferdinand did not create a monument to heroes. Instead, in accordance with Bulgarian tradition, he held a farewell ceremony for the fallen soldiers in Sofia Cathedral.
