A genius remembers this site address in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? Ferdinand knows that Boris is now a poor ghost, even his palace is an old antique left over a hundred years ago, simple After some repairs, he moved in.
The Finnish government is now clanging poorly. Without bankruptcy, it is not easy. Naturally, there is no money for him to repair the palace. All the expenses have to be paid by Boris himself.
At present, Boris’s only income is the five million lev annuities allocated to him by the Bulgarian royal family each year, otherwise Boris would be awarded the title of the poorest king in Europe.
This money is not permanent. It was Ferdinand who took into account his actual situation and took it out of the royal annuity. After Ferdinand takes the throne in the future, it will have nothing to do with him.
As for inheritance, it is a pity that Ferdinand is still alive? How could it be possible to divide the family property so early?
This is also the most common concept in Europe to cultivate the independent consciousness of the next generation, so Boris now has to figure out a solution by himself.
Of course, this
poor
is only in Ferdinand’s concept. In fact, this income is not low anymore. It almost equals to a quarter of the current financial income of the Finnish government. With so many years of accumulation, Bao Rees is not a big problem to be the richest man in Finland.
The main reason was that he invested all his money. After he settled down in Finland, Boris established the Royal Bank as soon as possible, bought a large amount of land and woodland, established several processing plants, and prepared to do international trade.
Then, naturally, there is no money. Before these investments are paid off, all of Boris's income is dependent on Ferdinand's funding.
"Father, I want to learn what you did in Bulgaria, give up the fixed royal annuity and only receive a small income, what do you think?" Boris asked uncertainly
"This question, you can decide for yourself, I can't help you decide!" Ferdinand thought for a while and said
"However, Caroline objected, and her worries are very reasonable.
The financial income of the Grand Duchy of Finland is limited. Once we change the way of receiving royal annuities, we may continue to lose money in the future!
In this way, we will become the laughing stock among the nobles, contracting their jokes of this century! "Boris said embarrassedly.
Although the royal family pension is freely controlled by the royal family, it does not actually mean that the money can be kicked into the king's pocket.
Including daily rewards to courtiers, holding court banquets, expenses of the large group of people in the palace, donations for going out for shows, expenses for marriages and funerals, etc., this series of expenses must be paid from here.
Based on the current financial income of Finland, even if it is increased tenfold, one point will not necessarily be enough for these expenses. Boris's worries are very normal.
This era is different from later generations. The kingship of later generations is strictly restricted, and many expenses in it are listed separately.
Otherwise, the king's annuity of hundreds of thousands of pounds in later generations is not enough to pay the maid?
"The economic problem is not big. If the Finnish economy develops well, your royal annuity income will be equal to your expenditure in about 20 or 30 years!
As for worrying about becoming a joke among the nobles, you can totally ignore that the joke of the last century was not contracted by me. What about now? Does anyone else say? "Ferdinand thought for a while and said
Not every country can play like Ferdinand. If Bulgaria is still that small country in the Balkans, then the royal family's annuity will now be several million.
At that time, no one knew that Bulgaria could get to where it is today, including Ferdinand himself not sure.
The reason why he did that was entirely because he had just arrived, without any foundation, and urgently needed to regain the hearts of the people before he made that decision.
Up to now, the Bulgarian royal family's annuity is almost close to 200 million lev, which is the highest among European royal families.
Still no one said anything, because Ferdinand was so beautiful at the show. Before the end of the Second Balkan War, the Bulgarian royal family had been losing money for more than ten years.
The King of Yishi and the people shared the joys and sorrows together. No one expected that a world war would break out, and no one knew that Bulgaria would develop so fast after the war.
Now Ferdinand’s declaration of the year has become the object of admiration all over the world. It can be regarded as a model of an ideal king. George V wants to follow suit. Unfortunately, the London government said nothing.
If Boris wants to follow suit now, naturally no one will object. No one thinks how much Finland's fiscal revenue can increase, even if it is an annual growth rate of 10%, it will take 25 years to achieve balance of payments.
This has not taken into account the factor of inflation. From an economic point of view, this investment is destined to be a loss.
Unless Finland can also expand like Bulgaria and complete the feat of swallowing the elephant, such leap-forward development does not exist in reality.
"Thank you, father, I know what to do!" Boris said
As a king, consideration must be given to politics first, then economics.
Anyway, he still has an income to support him. In the future, Ferdinand’s legacy will definitely be a huge sum of money. Boris need not worry about his economic problems.
Ferdinand didn't know that his butterfly effect once again affected the world. In addition to Boris, there were many kings who followed his actions. He was also called by later generations: the opener of the new king era.
This is almost the same as a company. King is the president of a listed company. The president's income is tied to the company's revenue. The more the company makes money, the higher the president's income, and vice versa.
Ferdinand also referred to this model. When the company's development was the most difficult, he was ordered to build a small company into a listed company, obtain stock option rewards, become a shareholder, and then receive dividends.
Now Boris is preparing a speech, titled "My Father's King's Career".
The content is as follows:
"On July 12, 1987, my father was crowned Grand Duke of Bulgaria, and the world has changed since then.
When I get here, please allow me to describe it as a small country. Bulgaria was really small at the time. Its territory was less than one-third the size of Finland, and its population was about the same as ours now. Even if it were a little bit more, it was limited.
Location is very important, in the center of the Balkan Peninsula.
Everyone knows that the Balkans are European gunpowder kegs. According to historical records, wars break out in the Balkans every week on average. So what is the state of Bulgaria, which is located in the center, can you imagine?
In contrast, our current situation is much better, at least not so many wars.
However, after July 12, 1987, the history of the Balkans was rewritten. Please allow me to call him-Ferdinand the Great, even though he has not yet been called emperor, but in my heart he deserves this title.
With the efforts of Ferdinand the Great, the Balkan Peninsula has completed its first real unification in thousands of years, and has since created the current Bulgaria.
The poor and backward Balkans no longer exist, and now the Balkans is the most prosperous region in the world, and God's back garden has become worthy of its name.
As his son, I am proud of having a great father.
I have always followed his example.
But today I am here, at the same age as he was as the Grand Duke of Bulgaria, and become the Grand Duke of Finland.
I dare not say that Finland will become as strong as Bulgaria now. This is unrealistic!
I don't have the strong ability of his. I know that I still have it, but I have to work hard to make Finland as prosperous as Bulgaria.
This is a son's adoration of his father. He has set a good example for me. I will take him as my goal in life and strive for it for life!
I still remember that forty years ago, Ferdinand the Great announced in Sofia that he would abandon the fixed royal annuity and instead take a small amount of fiscal revenue as an annuity to show his determination to make Bulgaria prosperous.
At that time, it was ridiculed by the European media, calling the Bulgarian royal family: the world's poorest royal family was born!
Many people are still betting on how long he can hold on. It turns out that he can hold on for a long time!
The years are hurried, and more than 40 years have passed. The small Balkan country, which was poor and backward, has now become one of the most powerful and wealthy countries in the world.
The poorest royal family in the world at that time has also become the richest royal family in the world. He has fulfilled his promise and shared the joys and sorrows with the country.
Today, as a son, I have infinite admiration for my father, and I intend to follow his example.
Theoretically, when inflation does not occur, Finland's fiscal revenue maintains an annual growth rate of 10%. After about 25 years, I will be able to achieve a balance of payments.
If our economy can develop faster, this time can be advanced, and my king can live a prosperous life soon.
From now on, let's spend the most difficult 25 years together. I remember that Emperor Ferdinand also spent more than 20 years of hardship with the Bulgarian people!
..."
On the surface, this is nothing more than a son praising his father, worshiping his father, and taking him as an example in life.
In fact, the praise of virtue is secondary, and the deeper reason is that Boris is expressing his attitude and expounding his governance philosophy.
Ordinary people don’t know what policy is suitable for Finland or what policy is not suitable for Finland, just tell them who they are learning from.
In this era, small countries all over the world are following Bulgaria as an example, which is more convincing than any other political ideas.
Boris made a clear-cut stand, and was more to appease the people. There is a successful example of Ferdinand. As long as Boris plays the image of a son who admires his father, he can get a lot of extra points.
The people can also rest assured that the new Grand Duke of Finland is not a tyrant, nor a fool, but a qualified and motivated monarch.
As long as this first impression is instilled, Boris' image in the minds of the people will be much better, and it will be much easier to carry out reforms in the future.
...
Undoubtedly, Boris’s speech was very successful. In Finland, which has just achieved national independence, middle and second-year youngsters are also indispensable, and immediately attracted a lot of fans.
No one doesn't want their country to be strong, but everyone doesn't know how to go. It's okay to learn Bulgaria, but how to learn?
It is also a long-term process for Bulgaria to grow from weak to strong~EbookFREE.me~ Now everyone sees a rich and strong Bulgaria. There is not much clarity about what we have experienced before.
This is not a problem here. Does anyone know what Bulgaria has experienced better than the Bulgarian royal family?
At the first consciousness, they would think that Boris knew all this, and Ferdinand could not keep his son a secret.
With the most accurate information, can Finland follow this path and go again?
Even if the national conditions are different, it is always possible to learn some of the essence and change the current situation of poverty and backwardness, right?
The first batch of support from Boris appeared. Although this group is not stable yet, he still needs to continue to operate. This is also a good start.
As long as Finland's economy develops well in the future, the government is clean and the people's living standards improve, this group will be stable.
Sofia
After receiving this information, Ferdinand was relieved that a king who was willing to share the ups and downs with the people would always be favored by everyone.
As long as Boris does not die and can maintain the stability of the country in the future, his position will be consolidated.
It is said to learn from Bulgaria, but in fact the expectations of the people are not so high. Most people will not imagine that they can really build a "Bulgaria!"
This is very unrealistic. Unless they can unify the former Russian Empire, they have the potential to develop to the current level of Bulgaria.
Obviously, Finns can't do this kind of thing. They are not that second. If they really do it, it's not that they annexed Russia, and they were annexed by Russia.
The population base of both parties has already determined all of this. If ethnic assimilation is played, they are also part of the assimilation. This way, no one wants to do business at a loss.
