Vol 4 Chapter 36: , Live hard

Time flies quickly, and it was the end of 19o9 in a flash. What surprised Ferdinand was that Queen Xenia was pregnant again this winter, and this was their fifth child.
Although he does not know whether it is a male or a female, Ferdinand is very excited. His concept has always been that there are many children, especially since Xenia is not young anymore. Perhaps this is their last child, Ferdinand. Showed extra attention! (Note: Xenia was born in 1875 ~ suddenly in 196o)
Of course, Ferdinand would not admit that he was affected by the environment! He, a former otaku, has no such idea!
In order to increase the population, since Ferdinand took the throne, Bulgaria has begun to advocate the concept of "multiple births and more children, more children and more happiness" in public opinion.
After more than 20 years of bombing, this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Ferdinand is inevitably affected!
Even Bulgaria has introduced a special law to encourage childbirth, but because the government was too poor, substantive rewards were still few, mostly spiritual encouragement.
Now Ferdinand is ready to amend this law again, and at the same time, he is also ready to directly introduce a law to prohibit all abortions. Previously, this behavior has always been restricted by religious beliefs, and it is not enforceable!
Oh, now the Queen’s pregnancy is the best example of publicity! After all, the king and queen have worked so hard to increase the population of Bulgaria. This is the fifth child. Why don't you work hard?
People are refreshed in happy events, and now Ferdinand is happy all day.
In order to be able to fully implement family planning, Ferdinand convened the cabinet to hold a seminar, and strive to bring Bulgaria's population growth rate to a higher level!
Although the kid born now can't keep up with the First World War, it doesn't matter, isn't there another time? This time is just right. Thirty years later, it's completely catch up. If you are lucky, maybe you can add another generation!
There is no saying in Bulgaria that marriage and childbearing are late. Many people are fifteen or sixteen-year-old kids, and they have reached the age of marriage.
In order to increase the population, the unscrupulous Ferdinand directly ignored all this life!
Oh, he can't manage it if he wants to. This is an ancient tradition. Besides, European education should have been earlier, and physiologically, it is almost the same.
Besides, the children of the poor are in their homes early. The average life expectancy of this era is not long. Even at the beginning of the 20th century, the average life expectancy in Bulgaria is less than 60 years old. It must be impossible to get married too late!
In fact, the birth rate in this era is still very high. The birth rate in the world has always been above 4%, but in Western Europe and Northern Europe, the birth rate in some countries has begun to decline.
The declining birth rate does not mean that people’s willingness to have children will be lower. The key is that due to the development of capitalism, many female workers have also entered the factory. In order to survive, everyone has to work. There is no time or the capitalists can't afford to have children!
After all, in this era, there is no such thing as protecting women's rights. As long as you get pregnant, you will either have a miscarriage or lose your job!
Most of the working class of this era has no savings and lost their jobs. For an ordinary family, this means the beginning of disaster!
Therefore, many people are forced to make a living and dare not get pregnant at all! In addition, some factories are also very harmful to the human body. Many people have lost the ability to bear children after long-term work.
These factors are the main reasons for the decline in the population growth rate of Western Europe! This situation affects any industrialized country. At present, Bulgaria's environment is slightly better.
After all, it is nationalism that has occupied the dominant position and has used morality to restrain the behavior of capitalists. They dare not go too far!
At least during pregnancy, they will not expel people. Of course, the salary during the vacation period is gone. If they do better, they will also give a little living allowance!
Oh, this is mostly Ferdinand's own! No way, who said that the large companies in Bulgaria are basically his own vests?
The royal family companies on the bright side are taking the lead, of course everyone has to respond. As a result, Ferdinand has to spend tens of millions of levs every year!
As for private enterprises? People also joined in, anyway, this is useless standard, just give some money, it's all right! And it can also be called, this is the corporate social responsibility!
Several newspapers controlled by the government in this regard are very keen to report such news. They are more willing to expose the ugly faces of unscrupulous capitalists than to commend the good deeds of capitalists.
Once exposed, they will be blacklisted by the government immediately, and many people will automatically distance themselves from you!
The lethality of this blacklist is very powerful. Simply put: the railway is permanently closed to you, no one will sell you many raw materials, and no one will buy the products you produce!
Oh, you can also find a way to take the road transport yourself and find a way to sell it. The prerequisite is not to be spotted. After all, working with you is condemned by public opinion!
Although they are very reluctant, in such a big environment, capitalists still have to pretend to be as much as possible, and try to get a good reputation for themselves!
Once any behavior has become a habit, everyone will gradually adapt. Under Ferdinand’s education, over 20 years later, the social atmosphere in Bulgaria has taken on a new look!
Many people even think that they are really a good person, and many capitalists will inadvertently provide a little help to ordinary workers, although it is more likely to be making a name for themselves!
However, this still makes proletarian revolutionaries all over the world very puzzled. It seems that Bulgarian capitalists are another species, and there is still a long way to go to spread revolutionary ideas in Bulgaria!
But Ferdinand knows that that's all there is to it. Occasionally, there are cases of kindness, and more of it is done for reputation!
Especially the powerful capitalists, for the sake of fame, don't mind spending a lot of money. This is not essentially different from that of later generations of entrepreneurs.
But it doesn’t matter, no matter how you make a show, it’s better than doing nothing! Ferdinand always valued only results, and he didn't care at all about their inner thoughts!
Ferdinand knew that to encourage childbirth, it would be impossible to throw all these costs to the company, and many small capitalists simply couldn't afford it!
Therefore, the government is still required to pay, but there are many aspects involved. The Bulgarian government has met several times to study.
...
The Minister Constantine said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, our government has carefully studied the issue of legislation to encourage childbirth. This issue is not big and can be raised to Congress at any time.
But it is a bit troublesome to release childbirth subsidies. This also involves the issue of coverage, and the formulation of specific standards is difficult to determine! "
Ferdinand asked puzzledly: "What is the new population of Bulgaria every year now? If it adapts to the subsidy program, how much can it increase? Has the government ever calculated this?"
Constantine thought for a while and said: "At present, the number of newborn babies in Bulgaria has been around one million. This ratio is already considered high among European industrialized countries, and is basically the same as that of Russians.
How much can this figure increase after subsidies? Since there is no such precedent in the world and we have no reference materials, we can only roughly estimate that under normal circumstances, it should be increased by 10 to 30%. This may also be related to the amount of subsidies. ! "
Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "This is indeed a problem. We have to consider not only the birth of the population, but also the survival rate of newborn babies and the economic strength of the people. How much can they afford? And future education issues!
We still have a lot of homework to do in this regard!
However, I think the government can also set up nursery schools. Once a family changes and becomes unable to support, you can apply for the government to support adults! "
There is no doubt that the role of this nursery school and the orphanage is not very different, but this is more emotionally acceptable to parents!
It is estimated that as soon as the nursery comes out, the number of people in the orphanage will be greatly reduced. At least many families are thrown directly to the entrance of the orphanage because they are poor and unable to support their children.
Now this is even simpler. If you don't have the ability to support, you can also give it to the country for foster care! Anyway, it's all your children, you can come and have a look at any time, and you can take it back if you have the conditions!
This will undoubtedly alleviate most people's worries, even if they can't afford it, they can still live. Anyway, the Bulgarian government will pay the bill!
By the way, the scale of the Scout can be expanded. Although Bulgaria has to receive military training from elementary school, this is only auxiliary. Military training is about one month a year, and some schools may be higher.
But the real Scouts come from orphanages. They will be screened from an early age. Their main course is to carry out rigorous military training for those who are suitable to join the army. After they grow up, some people will enter military academies for further studies, and most will directly Enter the army.
These people are often the bravest beings on the battlefield, and their military quality is also higher than others. They are one of the main sources of grassroots officers in the Bulgarian army! (Also the main force of intelligence personnel and death squads)
As for whether the parents will disagree, Ferdinand said that in a country like Bulgaria, even if the people are not enlisted for military service, the annual reserve training still needs to participate. Soldiers have always had a lofty status. So far he has not listened. It was said that someone enlisted in the army and family members came to make trouble!
Moreover, being a soldier in this era is really the best opportunity for them to escape their destiny. As long as they have made enough combat exploits, they will immediately become a member of the ruling class!
Even if you change jobs and go home, the government will guarantee the distribution. As long as you don't make mistakes, you will basically have a lifetime guarantee!
...
So after some discussions, Bulgaria's "Family Planning Law" was promulgated, and it took effect only after taking it to the Congress to go through the process.
This "Family Planning Law" regulates the protection of pregnant women by law, and it is basically Ferdinand copied by later generations!
However, the wages during the maternity leave are not fully borne by the enterprise. This part of the expenditure is mainly allocated by the government. The half-year salary is provided in accordance with Bulgaria's minimum wage standard. The enterprise mainly cooperates with the government's work to provide convenience for pregnant women workers.
For example, the law stipulates that companies with more than one hundred employees must set up special baby rooms for employees to take turns to take care of them to provide convenience for women with children!
In order to encourage childbirth, starting from the third child, there is a material reward of 1oo lev from the state. The number for the fourth child becomes 2oo lev; the fifth child is 4oo lev; the sixth child is 8oo lev...
There is no upper limit. In theory, it is not a problem to get rich by having children. The prerequisite is that all mothers and babies must be healthy and not die, otherwise money will be deducted!
Oh, fortunately, the later generations of Ferdinand watched the news of a lot of mothers and didn't have a unit. Otherwise, if you encounter multiple births, come several times, it is really possible that the Bulgarian government will go bankrupt!
Oh, Ferdinand admits that this is a picture cake that encourages fertility. In fact, it can give birth to more than ten children. UU Reading www.uukanshu. com is rare, not to mention the need to ensure that the baby's health is not premature. With this medical condition, it is almost impossible to exist!
However, after the sixth birth, you can get the title of hero mother. The biggest advantage of this title is that the company must provide them with a full salary during pregnancy!
This has been there before, and it was created by the capitalists themselves. The main reason is that few people can get it. Of course, everyone is happy to show it!
Of course, this time the law also stipulates that if the body hurts because of having a child, the company is obliged to exchange jobs for them with a more relaxed job!
Simply put, it is to tell everyone to live hard, everything is up to the government, it doesn't matter if you can't afford it, the country can do it for you!
...
The promulgation of the Family Planning Law gave the capitalists a sigh of relief at the same time. They were really afraid that the government would directly throw all these burdens on them!
Don't doubt that with the strong Bulgarian government, this can be done! Prior to this, officials from the Population Department had interviewed many capitalists with a sense of social responsibility and discussed this issue with them.
Oh, this is also the negative impact of reputation. Is there a sense of social responsibility? When the country needs you to assume social responsibility, as long as you are still within your ability, you can't refuse. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of your reputation?
Well, in fact, the initial investment is not too big, and the eligible people are nothing more than 100,000 or 200,000 people every year.
The salary for a mere half a year is still paid at the minimum wage, which amounts to tens of millions of levs. Even with the subsidy, it will still not exceed 100 million levs!
With the current Bulgarian fiscal revenue, it can still be easily afforded!
