Vol 3 Chapter 4: , Short cruise

The birth of the little guy, for Ferdinand, brought not only joy, but also a lot of trouble!
A name can make Ferdinand scalp, the name is not random, he also gives strong political significance.
Whether to adopt a German style, a Russian style, or even a native Bulgarian style will affect the direction of Bulgarian politics, and Ferdinand needs to weigh the pros and cons.
If the name can be dealt with, then religious beliefs are even more troublesome. Ferdinand is a Catholic, but the main belief in Bulgaria is the Orthodox Church. It is the real trouble for the little guy to convert to which religion!
Choose the Catholic Church, the people of the Orthodox Church are not satisfied; choose the Orthodox Church, the Catholics are not satisfied, and it is estimated that many people will doubt the piety of Ferdinand's faith!
Even if it is no longer the Middle Ages, religious belief still occupies a very important position in Europe.
For Ferdinand, being suspected of impious belief is a very serious political crisis. Even if he will not shake his throne, the blame from all parties is enough for him to drink a pot!
In history, the "Ferdinand" suffered from this aspect. Because of his son Boris III’s belief problem, he directly broke off friendship with his uncle Ferranz-Joseph I and talked with a group of relatives and friends. Face!
Forced to be helpless, Ferdinand had to resort to procrastination and directly hand it over to the little guy to make his own decision. Let the little guy come to a similar week-grabbing ceremony and choose his own faith. For this reason, his mother and wife started It's a battle for baby faith!
No way it is still in the 9th century, and the religious atmosphere in Europe is still very strong, with believers everywhere.
You can see from the reaction of my mother and wife. They have been in a stalemate because of the baby's belief. Ferdinand went to mediate, and the two jointly criticized him for being impious!
To this end, Ferdinand had to choose and sludge. Although many people were dissatisfied with this, Ferdinand blocked everyone's mouth by "letting God choose".
Although all parties are dissatisfied, they can accept it. After all, is God's choice? As a believer in God, you will not question God's decision!
This is also the fact that Ferdinand’s current status has been consolidated. Otherwise, as in history, let the little guy convert to the Orthodox Church to gain the support of more Orthodox Christians!
Compared with the religious name, it is much simpler. Ferdinand named him directly after his own name, called Little Ferdinand, which means to inherit his family business, which is equivalent to declaring to the outside world that the little guy is the crown prince. .
Anyway, the little guy is also his eldest son. According to European tradition, under normal circumstances, the little guy's crown is set.
This time it’s much better, at least it won the unanimous approval of the two mistresses in the family. After all, this kind of thing has been born many times in the European royal family!
The first, second... more than a dozen generations, there are many crowns that continue like this, and there is nothing unacceptable for one more Ferdinand.
Two major events were finalized. Ferdinand fled into the desert with murderous eyes from his wife and mother. He took a detour for several days, and even went to see the little guy less often.
In order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, Ferdinand decided to conduct a nationwide cruise. In fact, he had this plan last year, but considering the instability of various places, he has pressed time to the present.
In name, it is to cruise the whole country. In fact, Ferdinand can only go to a limited number of places. At least before the railway is open to traffic, it is impossible for him to go all over the country.
Otherwise, from now on, in the next century, he is probably still on the way.
From Sofia, travel along the Iskar River to Pleven, then take the train to Silistra, then to Dobro, and then take a boat along the Black Sea all the way to Constantinople.
Depart from Constantinople, go to Sliven via Edinar, and return to Sofia via Plovdiv.
Obviously, this is only the first phase of Ferdinand's national tour. Except for Constantinople, most of the time it goes around the original boundaries of Bulgaria. ..
This is in line with Ferdinand’s fear of death. If it were not for the political significance of Constantinople, he would not plan to go.
The purpose of this parade is to inspect the industrial exhibitions across the country. Constantinople has been hit hard in the war, and now there is a ghost industry.
There are many industrial residues in the ruins, but I don’t know how long it will take to recover. However, the industries outside the city have been preserved. Unfortunately, most of them are traditional handicrafts, and they are now undergoing industrial upgrading.
...
In golden autumn in October, the blue sky is like washing, cool and comfortable. The wild flowers on the side of the road sway in the wind, seeming to tell the pedestrians something.
At this time, Ferdinand once again left Sofia, starting a second national cruise. Unlike the previous trip, Bulgaria's industry had just started at the time and it was almost blank.
At this time, industrial and agricultural exhibitions throughout Bulgaria have begun to take shape. Water conservancy projects are blooming on all sides, the highway network is crisscrossed, and factories are rising from the ground, and it is thriving.
Pleven is located on the banks of the Tučeniška River in the Danube Plain and is one of Bulgaria’s rich agricultural centers. At the same time, industries such as textiles, ceramics, cement, tobacco, and cans have also developed in recent years.
It is one of the investment priorities of Bulgaria's "2nd Five-Year Plan" and the first stop of Ferdinand's inspection.
From a quantitative point of view, the total industrial investment in Pleven region is as high as 70 million lev, which has passed the total industrial volume of the Kingdom of Montenegro at this time and occupies a very important position in the industrial system of Bulgaria.
Looking at the rows of tall chimneys, the thick black smoke into the sky is very inconsistent with the endless wheat fields around.
Ferdinand felt a kind of weird that could not be said, quite a bit of inspecting unqualified township black factories.
However, this is the 9th century, and these things, which will be eliminated even by small and medium-sized enterprises in later generations, are the most advanced productive forces of today.
From time to time, there are officials who introduce to Ferdinand that XX adopts advanced technology from France, or adopts advanced technology from Germany, or adopts advanced technology from Britain...
Even if Fei couldn't tell where these things were, he still answered with a signature smile, which made the introduced officials excited!
Well, the so-called pretending to be b-slapped, he has no chance to learn. Wherever Ferdinand goes, he has been notified in advance, and the security measures do not know how many floors there are inside and outside.
If you want to see the life of the people, forget it, Ferdinand has always been very courageous. History told him that TV dramas are deceptive, and those who play microservices and visit privately among the people will die miserably!
Especially in the era of thermal weapons, no matter how high his prestige in Bulgaria is, there is no shortage of people who want to assassinate the king.
Not to mention, the fuse of the first war in history was not the hapless Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince who wanted to play with the people? He was greeted not only by flowers and applause, but also by flying bullets!
Before him, King Alexander I of Serbia and King George I of Greece were all models who pretended to be overwhelmed and taught the world a lesson with blood!
It's good that the king is not right, so he wants to go deep into the people, and when the result is good, he has seen God in advance.
This is not as simple as the history books say. Basically, as long as a king does not die by himself, the probability of being successfully assassinated is very small.
Just like Ferdinand travels, he has been under martial law for several miles, and no strangers should come close within a few hundred meters. If there are still assassins coming in, it is absolutely fate!
What's the actual situation, Ferdinand has already understood clearly through various channels, he came out to see it in person, only to confirm it again, or to urge officials to work harder.
Along the way, Ferdinand has not encountered any abnormalities, and there is a vibrant scene everywhere.
Other things can be faked, and the farmland on both sides of the road definitely cannot be faked.
What's more, Ferdinand's outing was decided suddenly, and the place he was going to was only notified two or three days in advance. Under the conditions at the time, the local government could carry out a cleanup at most, but it was estimated that nothing else could be done.
Ferdinand's good mood didn't stop until Constantinople. At this time, this international metropolis, described as ruins, should be more accurate!
The remnants of the broken wall, the magnificent tall buildings of the past fell into the dust, and the once glorious civilization was destroyed in its collapse!
At this time, there are still a large group of workers who are working hard, cleaning up the ruins, and working hard to rebuild the city.
Destruction is also the beginning of a new life. How many historical cities have been destroyed in the war. At this moment, Ferdinand has decided to rebuild this ancient city. Of course this is the future, and now its role is more of a military port!
Ferdinand did not stay in Constantinople for a long time. After meeting the top of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Ferdinand hurriedly left.
Now this is still the territory of the Russians. Since it was decided to hand over to Russia as a military port, Ferdinand has done it thoroughly, and even no city manager has been sent.
So now the heavy task of rebuilding Constantinople falls on the Russians. It seems that they are willing to accept this heavy burden. Except for a little inefficiency, they are doing very well.
After leaving Constantinople, Ferdinand once again set foot in the new area of ​​Sliven. This newly-rising city was established entirely under the impetus of Ferdinand.
All the industries in the city are inseparable from Ferdinand. Whether it is real estate or property, it is his industry.
Franz happily introduced: "Your Majesty, since the establishment of the Sliven Development Zone, Zhan Xun is now one of the top ten metropolises in Bulgaria.
At present, there are more than two hundred and three large and small enterprises in the city, more than 120 factories of various types, and more than 200,000 workers.
The rose industry chain built by our Rose Group alone has 13 supporting factories and more than 80,000 workers, covering all the processes from the planting of roses to the processing of finished products to the market!
..."
At this time, Franz has been appointed as the district mayor, and he is the only person in Bulgaria who serves as a city manager as a businessman.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is Ferdinand's retainer, otherwise it would be impossible to want such a cross-border exhibition!
Ferdinand said lightly: "Your loose health products are good, and the queen mother and queen love it!"
Directly use the highest quality rose oil to make health care products, such a luxury thing, only Ferdinand can do it, without taking a little leave, can the effect be bad?
You know that the price of rose oil is not low in the world. Think about the highest quality rose oil. At least dozens of tons of the highest quality rose petals per kilogram can be extracted, you know!
The price of this thing in the world, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also started at thousands of pounds, and the supply is still in short supply. Even if Bulgaria is the world's largest producer of rose oil, the high-quality rose oil produced is not tens of kilograms!
Of course, ordinary rose essential oils are sold on the market, and high-quality products have long been monopolized by the nobles. Even ordinary essential oils cost hundreds of pounds per catty!
After listening to Ferdinand's words, Franz's joy suddenly reached its peak, which is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of his work.
When the Sliven New District was established in the past, the government's goal at that time was only to build an industrial city with a population of 50,000 within five years. Due to lack of funds, under the order of Ferdinand, Franz resisted the heavy task and contracted the new district. All management and construction.
At this time, the Sliven New District was already a metropolis with a population of over 300,000 and more than 200,000 industrial workers.
Even at this time, the preferential policies for many companies have not yet expired, and the tax revenue paid to the government every year can now rank among the top three in the country. It is one of the most important industrial cities in Bulgaria.
Because the results were too bad, when Ferdinand nominated Franz to be the head of the new district, no one opposed the Bulgarian government.
Also because of the high development of the new area, Ferdinand’s investment has also received a generous return. Now the rent and property management fees of the city are collected in units of tens of millions of levs!
Franz made such a great contribution, of course, Ferdinand will not treat him badly. In the previous ceremony, Franz successfully completed the leap from commoner to noble and became a Viscount of the Kingdom of Bulgaria!
The position of his district chief was also appointed by Ferdinand after he became a nobleman. Otherwise, according to Bulgarian law, merchants have no right to serve as officials, and nobles are certainly not subject to this restriction.
