Chapter 43: , Reform 1

　　Ferdinand knows very well that capitalists are greedy. If they are killed with a stick, God knows what they will do. At the same time, capitalists are also weak, and they will compromise if they open a hole.
　　 In just six months, Bulgaria has poured in no less than 100,000 foreigners. The sinister Ferdinand naturally chose to sacrifice their interests in exchange for the compromise of the capitalists.
　　 At the same time, I did not forget to open a hole to encourage foreigners to learn Bulgarian and join Bulgaria. Of course, the main purpose is to promote national integration and increase the population.
　　 Labor law, in addition to a wave of popular support for Ferdinand. There is also a benefit that is not visible in the short term, which undermines the enthusiasm of the working class movement.
　　 The working-class Social Democratic Party, which Bulgaria has not yet established, is dead. Although its founder Braggiev, under the butterfly effect of Ferdinand, was killed by the Stam cabinet in 1889.
　　 Due to Ferdinand’s crossing, Bulgaria had hired 480,000 workers in 1890, of which foreign workers accounted for a quarter, and the rate of economic development far exceeded the level of the same period in history.
　　 Due to the government's heavy investment in infrastructure, jobs have been added, domestic demand has been stimulated, and the rapid development of Bulgaria’s economy has been promoted.
　　 Although the number of Bulgarian workers has increased significantly, it has not changed the backwardness of industrial development.
　　 In addition to Ferdinand’s own industries, most of the factories in Bulgaria are still small workshops. The technology is backward and uncompetitive, and the scattered distribution is not large-scale, and the ability to resist risks is extremely poor.
　　 In order to change this situation, Ferdinand decided to continue to deepen reforms. A small country with a population of only 3.2 million, with more than 1,000 large and small factories, is a waste of resources to compete for this small market.
　　 On September 20th, the Sofia Palace is undergoing a big debate to determine the future economic direction of Bulgaria. In addition to government officials, a few economists from Bulgaria were also invited.
　　 At the suggestion of Ferdinand, Constantine submitted to the government a plan of "Industry Access Standards". That is: set an industry threshold, eliminate some weak capitalists, and artificially restrict the entry of latecomers. Support the merger and reorganization of enterprises in disguised form and promote the development of monopoly capitalism.
　　If this plan is passed, it means that in the next five years, more than one thousand factories in Bulgaria will be merged and reorganized or closed.
　　 Obviously, there is not much market for this plan. At the end of the 19th century, liberal capitalism was the most popular. Major European and American powers were all working hard for anti-monopoly capitalism.
　　 In 1890, when the United States just promulgated the "Sherman Act", the implementation of monopoly capitalism felt like going upstream.
Konstantin started the fight against the heroes. "Gentlemen, everyone knows the current plight of Bulgaria. We are just a small country with a population of only three million and lack of mineral resources. The process of industrialization has come now, and many of our industrial raw materials are available. Relying on imports. Many factories have backward management and technology, and their products are seriously lacking in international competitiveness. They can only rely on the domestic market. Last year, the import and export trade deficit was as high as 60 million lev! How can our economy develop healthily in the long run?"
　　 "But Mr. Constantine, the "Industry Access Plan" has disrupted the free capitalist market, the state has interfered too much in the market economy order, undermined the fairness of the society, and the consequences would be unimaginable!" Economist Velen Soma
　　 "Mr. Velen, you are too alarmist. The state's intervention in the market economy is for the normal development of the Bulgarian economy and to eliminate hidden dangers in advance! If you really let it go, why should domestic capitalists compete with international capital?" Constantine
　　 "Mr. Konstantin, we all know that there is no development without competition. What we have to do now is not to promote monopoly, but to raise tariffs to protect the development of national industry!" Minister of Industry Kamilaev
"Mr. Kamilaev, how big is the Bulgarian market? Only with a population of three million people can support industrialization. Is it possible? If we can't, we must rely on the international market. The increase in tariffs will not only make us break away from the international market. What's the use of the market?" Constantine asked rhetorically
　　 Seeing no one answered, Constantine said while the iron was hot, "Gentlemen, now we have no choice but to abandon industrialization or promote monopoly, reduce internal friction, and force capitalists to innovate and improve product competitiveness!"
　　 "Constantine is right. Monopoly is not a good thing for the great powers, but it is now the most suitable for Bulgaria!" Chekov
　　 "What is the most suitable? It is nothing more than the best in one's interests!"
　　 "Nonsense!"
　　……
　　 You come and I go with each other, each expressing their opinions and arguing endlessly. There seems to be a stronger reason for supporting monopoly, while the opposition is crowded and powerful, and it quickly changed. UU Reading www. The smell of uukanshu.com is getting stronger and stronger.
　　 Ferdinand promptly stopped the intensified quarrel between the two sides, "Enough, let me be quiet! Please pay attention to your identity, no personal attacks! Only this time, if anyone commits another crime, he will be deprived of his qualifications to participate in the discussion!
　　 Seeing Ferdinand getting angry, the two parties feasted. "Fortunately, the Congress is disbanded, otherwise it will be even more lively!" Ferdinand thought fortunately. At the same time, he also settled down the doctrine. It is necessary to introduce as many controversial bills as possible before the Congress election.
　　On the one hand, monopoly plays a role in hindering the development of technology, and many examples have demonstrated this; but on the other hand, it also contains factors that promote the development of technology.
Because under the conditions of monopoly capitalism, the development of science and technology, the improvement of labor quality, the expansion of the scale of production and accumulation, and the development of social integration in the production process are all related to the development of monopoly competition, production concentration, joint system, and professional division of labor. Not open.
　　Ferdinand is very clear that the most suitable thing for Bulgaria at this stage is monopoly. But when Bulgaria has grown to a certain extent, monopolyism will become an obstacle to economic development.
　　 The resistance to reform is somewhat beyond Ferdinand’s imagination. The opposition within the government is so powerful.
　　 After a moment of silence, Ferdinand decided to adopt a circuitous strategy to learn from the protagonist of the American tycoon Shi Zhigao.
　　 After thinking of the strategy, Ferdinand hurriedly ended the government meeting, leaving Constantine.
　　 Constantine is a little nervous now. Judging from the meeting just now, what Ferdinand explained was a mess.
　　Ferdinand looked at Constantine who was not in the state and asked, "Mr. Constantine, do you think the Industry Access Plan is feasible?"
　　 Constantine said without hesitation: "Feasible!"
