Vol 3 Chapter 18: ,population

The current division of labor is that Ferdinand is responsible for digging scientists, and various government departments are responsible for digging engineers. After all, it is much more effective for ordinary engineers to talk about salaries with them than about their ideals!
Now the Bulgarian government basically follows the principle of buying equipment in a big country and digging talents in a small country!
There are six large and small countries in Europe, and many small countries are still awesome in modern times, and they still have the background. In history, the United States absorbed talents from these small countries at the beginning of the 20th century.
Countries such as high-level engineers and warship designers are not lacking in Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal and other countries. Although they may not be as capable, they are sufficient for Bulgaria to lay a foundation.
In Ferdinand's view, the industrial equipment that was used for bargaining during the economic crisis was the second, and the key to attracting talents was the key. For this reason, Ferdinand also approved a "Bulgarian Talent Introduction Law."
As long as they are qualified talents, they will be given preferential treatment, and the restrictions on naturalization will be zeroed out. Once they come, they can join unconditionally, and there will be a set-up fee that the government does not allow!
It can be said that Ferdinand took great pains to introduce talents!
Pay and return are proportional. As of the end of 19o3, the Bulgarian government has spent as much as 80 million pounds on the introduction of talents, bringing in more than 2,000 talents of various types.
Of course, most of them are ordinary engineers, and there are still very few senior talents with real weight, and there are only 20 or 30 people who can enter the eyes of Ferdinand!
However, the price Ferdinand paid was worth it. By the end of 19o4, the industrial equipment purchased from various countries was operating normally. The total industrial volume of the Kingdom of Bulgaria directly exceeded Belgium, and was the same as the Kingdom of Spain!
Of course, this number is watery. The Kingdom of Spain is not in a state at all. First, it was repaired by the Americans, and a large colony was lost. It was not relieved, and then it caught up with the economic crisis, and its vitality was greatly injured!
...
These are things in the future, and now Ferdinand is busy dealing with domestic issues.
At the end of 19o1, the Bulgarian annual immigration work conference.
The Minister Constantine reported to Ferdinand: "Your Majesty, our exchange of population with the Ottoman Empire is now complete.
As of August this year, we have received all the Bulgarians living in the Ottoman Empire, totaling more than 4.38 million; and repatriated more than 2.74 million Turks to the Ottoman Empire.
This part of the returnees have been scattered across the country by us. So far, their employment problems have basically been solved.
Starting in 1897 and up to now, we have spent a total of 860 million Levs for this great immigration.
This also includes the 120 million lev for the repatriation of the Turks. Due to the inaction of the Ottoman Empire, this part of the expenditure is also paid by us!
Of the remaining part of the expenditure, the resettlement costs are about 260 million levs, and the employment settlement and the housing problems of immigrants, as well as the living allowances provided by the government, total 480 million levs! "
This population figure is quite different than previously expected, but Ferdinand did not feel that there was a problem. It was estimated by the demographic statistics of the Ottoman Empire before, and there was an error of hundreds of thousands. This shows that the Ottoman officials in charge of this work are already very conscientious!
Ferdinand asked with concern: "How is the life of immigrants?"
"The immigrants before 19o1 have normalized their lives. Although the living standards of some of them are still lower than the national average, they have also lived in the Ottoman Empire, and now it’s no problem to eat well. !" Constantine replied
That’s right, Ferdinand’s resettlement standards are based on eating full meals. As for the issue of getting rich at home, it is not what he is considering now!
"Has the demographics been completed?" Ferdinand asked again
Constantine thought for a while and said: "It is roughly done, but the specific figures are still being sorted out.
Our preliminary judgment is that as of the end of 19o1, the total population of Bulgaria is about 13.4 million.
Mainly include: the original Bulgaria’s original 430,000; after the Balkan War, more than 7 million new territories, 4 million immigrants from the Ottoman Empire, and natural population growth, of course, we also migrated 300 More than ten thousand people.
After the Balkan War, the total population of our country was 11.43 million. After the war, we sent 360,000 people to the Kingdom of Montenegro and repatriated more than 2.74 million people to the Ottoman Empire.
So we have to subtract the population of 310,000, but we also received 4.38 million immigrants from the Ottoman Empire.
In addition to the natural population growth, in the four years from 1897 to the present, our new population was about 70,000.
According to preliminary calculations, our current total population is about 13.39 million. Of course, the actual situation may be different, but the total error will not exceed 50,000! "
Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction. This population figure has reached his initial expectation. As long as this part of the population is digested, Bulgaria's strength will surely change drastically!
Of course, it takes time to really digest all of this. On the surface, the immigrants from the Ottoman Empire are all the main ethnic group-the Bulgarian nationality, which is easy to digest!
In fact, no one can tell how many other ethnic groups have been mixed in!
In the last census, there were 1.8 million Bulgarians in the Balkans. Ferdinand can still roughly estimate how much water there is in it. A 40% discount is almost the same.
Well, UU reading www. On the surface of uukanshu.com, out of the population of more than 13 million in Bulgaria, the Bulgarians alone account for over 10 million. The majority ethnic group accounts for the vast majority, and the population proportion is healthy.
Ferdinand is sure that this figure is the result of water injection after water injection. If seven or eight of them are original products, then thank God!
But knowing that, Ferdinand has absolutely no meaning to expose, anyway, if you tell a lot of lies, it will become the truth. After more than ten or twenty years, a new generation has grown up, and they are the real Bulgarians!
Ferdinand nodded and said, "Well! The next step is to issue new ID cards to the whole country. In principle, we will follow the voluntary principle to register the nation!
In this regard, governments at all levels must be prepared to go deep into each village and count the ethnic composition of our country as accurately as possible. This is related to the long-term stability of Bulgaria in the future! "
Well, Ferdinand is going to be Bulgarian again. According to the current classification criteria in the "History of the Origin of the Bulgarian Nation", there are really very few people in Bulgaria who do not belong to the Bulgarian nationality!
Sending government officials to the countryside is of course to do brainwashing work. First, instill in the people the notion that everyone is Bulgarian. The reason why multiple ethnic groups emerged is because the Ottoman Empire made it easier to rule!
Anyway, ordinary people in this era are so foolish. They use novels as history, and they don't know the truth or not. Don't talk about them, even some historians have been put in!
"Yes!" Constantine replied affirmatively
Everyone now supports Ferdinand’s zeal to establish a plan for the Great Bulgarian nation. The endless national uprisings in the Ottoman Empire are a proper negative example!
