Chapter 19: , Tax

"Grand Duke, educators have to eat too! Have you noticed that since Bulgaria has been independent, education funding has not been sufficient. Basically every government is in arrears of funding. Some time ago, you happened to pay back wages. "
　　 Ferdinand exclaimed: "What a word to wake up the dreamer! Together, they hit my head with attention."
　　 "It's just right to me. It was not easy for the school to intervene. Now as a well-known principal, it is not as easy to intervene."
　　 Ferdinand, who had figured out the reason, would naturally not continue to refuse. However, Ferdinand also knew that he was just a headmaster and could not spend all his energy on school. The usual school management work is still left to others.
　　 "Carl, call Chekov back and tell him I agreed." Ferdinand said with a smile
　　 "Okay, Your Excellency!" Karl finished speaking and went out.
　　 For a moment, Chekov walked in and greeted Ferdinand.
"Well, for the sake of God, I agreed to take the position of the principal. However, the other faculty and staff will be handed over to the Ministry of Education, and the enrollment work for the second half of the year must be done!" Said
　　 "Okay, Your Excellency, our Ministry of Education will definitely do our best, I can swear to God!" Chekov promised
　　 Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Well, tell me about your plan?"
　　 Chekov pondered a little, and said: "Duke, you know that Bulgaria is the first time to establish a university and lacks relevant experience. Our Ministry of Education plans to hire management talents from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the German Empire, as well as some teachers!"
Ferdinand pondered for a while, and thought to himself: "It seems that the Liberals have a good impression of the Allies! The education in Russia itself is not very good, and it is normal to ignore it; Britain and France did not mention it. This is not a good phenomenon! "
　　 thought so in my heart, Ferdinand is not a noob, so naturally he would not say it directly. This is politically undesirable.
　　 "Report your plan to me as soon as possible, as well as the division of faculties and departments of the Bulgarian University, the number of students enrolled, and report it to me!" Ferdinand looked at Chekov and said
　　 "Okay, Your Excellency!" Chekov said powerfully
　　 "Well, let's go!" Ferdinand said, looking at Chekov who was so energetic.
　　 "Yes" Chekov left the palace after saying.
　　 On the other side, in the Sofia government building, there is a lot of noise. Stam Bolov shook his head helplessly and slapped the table fiercely.
　　 said: "For the sake of God, you are not arguing anymore! It's all about money. You can't make money even if you make a noise!"
　　 Seeing everyone calm down, Stam continued: "Bulgaria's financial situation, you all know that if we don't do anything, we can achieve a balance of payments, but is this possible?"
　　 "If we don't do anything, what do we still need to do? Instead of competing for the budget here, you might as well think about how to get the money!"
　　 "Let’s think about it and get a loan from a foreign bank!" Industry Minister Wilson suggested
　　 "No, the bankers are not philanthropists. They will definitely take advantage of the fire, and the price is probably very high. Besides, the funding gap is so large, what do we take as collateral?" Economic Minister Michael objected.
　　 "Then raise taxes!" The Minister of the Interior Yunas suggested
　　 "This is definitely not good! The domestic economy is sluggish, and the capitalists are not having a good life!" Stam objected.
　　He knows very well that the Liberal Party was supported by capitalists to come to power. Now raising taxes on them is not self-destructive!
　　 "Your Excellency Prime Minister, I also know that the life of capitalists is not easy, I mean tax can be levied on farmers!" Yunus explained
　　 "This~" Everyone fell silent, and no one directly objected.
　　 After a while, Stam-Bolov said: "Should we hold a ministerial meeting and discuss it!"
　　 "Good!" everyone said in unison.
　　 Everyone knows that raising taxes is not a good job, and being scolded is inevitable. The peasant class did not have much influence, but although the feudal landlords were weak, they were not soft persimmons.
　　 As expected, the decides the head. Facing the financial crisis, as in history, he still cut the knife at the peasants.
　　 Historically, Bulgaria increased the burden on farmers in order to develop industry. Land mergers have intensified, and a large number of peasants went bankrupt and lost their land, and were forced to go to cities to seek a living.
　　 Wife ion powder is of course indispensable, blood and tears spilled over Bulgaria. Although a large number of labors entered the city, which promoted the development of industry; but the new working class did not benefit from it. They worked 14 to 16 hours a day and received less than half of their wages.
　　 also provided the foundation for the development of communism. Later, the failure of the World War aggravated domestic contradictions, and finally triggered a proletarian revolution.
　　 Ferdinand, who knows the cause and effect, naturally has to think twice before acting. Although he urgently needed to develop industry, Ferdinand was still worried that his butterfly effect would cause bad consequences, and finally decided to intervene to a limited extent.
　　 The tax increase bill submitted by the Cabinet was directly rejected by Ferdinand. He has made up his mind, no matter what, he cannot cause a large number of peasants to go bankrupt as in history.
　　 "Your Excellency, now that the government is in financial crisis, we have no choice but to make this move!" Stambolov said dissatisfied.
"I know! But for God's sake, I can't agree! You know, once this bill is passed, thousands of families will go bankrupt as a result, their wives will disperse, and the cry will overwhelm Bulgaria!" Ferdinand said in awe
"No, Your Excellency. It's not as bad as you think. The life of the farmers will be harder in the next days, but they have to sacrifice them for the development of Bulgaria. Besides, they can still be workers, and they won't show up as you said. So bad!" Stam said angrily
Ferdinand sneered and said, "Really? Don't think of me as a fool. If you follow your new tax law, the land will be merged and a lot of farmers will go bankrupt. Don't tell me that Bulgaria can provide so many jobs. ?"
　　 "At that time a large number of farmers will lose their livelihoods, and then the capitalists can continue to cut wages and unscrupulously let the workers work overtime, right, Stam, my prime minister?"
"Remember that you are the prime minister of Bulgaria, not the prime minister of the bourgeoisie! A qualified government must take into account the interests of the majority of people, otherwise we will face an endless stream of enemies. A group of people who are about to starve to death will use their lives. You ask for justice!"
