Chapter 44: , Reform 2 (Food Disturbance 1)

　　 has finally signed a contract, thank you for your support! !
　　 "However, your Excellency, the resistance is too great. It is difficult for us to obtain support from all walks of life. The government will be very passive." Constantine said hesitantly.
　　 Ferdinand nodded, expressed his approval, and then asked, "So, how about splitting the plan? For example, find an industry as an entry point."
　　 Constantine was surprised and said: "If it is just an industry, then we have to face much less resistance, but~~"
　　 Ferdinand interrupted Constantine's words: "There are not so many "but"! Your government can first find an industry to investigate, find out the problem, collect enough evidence, and then public opinion builds momentum, and then reform!"
　　 Constantine thoughtfully, after a while, said: "Your Excellency is wise!"
　　 Ferdinand is very useful, although this flattering is very suffocated. He smiled and said: "Don't flatter, this is not for you! By the way, you will have to be busy next. Reform belongs to reform, but the "Five-Year Plan" cannot be affected. The government has a great responsibility!"
　　 "Don't worry, Grand Duke, our Ministry of the Interior will do it!" Constantine promised
　　……
　　 After leaving the Palace of Sofia, Constantine had a headache. Don't look at the refreshment he had just promised; in fact, he didn't have much clue.
　　 The "Five-Year Plan" constrains most of the government's energy. Constantine's heart is opposed to the reform now, and he is really too busy.
　　 At the same time, he also agrees with the reasons for Ferdinand's reform. Now is the time when there is least resistance to reform. Interest groups have just been cleaned up by the previous government, and their vitality is greatly injured. They are all smart people who survived.
　　The new congressional elections have not yet started, and all powers are still concentrated in the hands of Ferdinand. If the government enforces reforms, it can continue. The rebound will not be very strong. After all, the butcher knife in Stam’s period has frightened the capitalists and is afraid to fight the government in the short term.
　　 But where to start is another tricky question. As the first goal, it must be representative and widely recognized by all sectors of society.
　　 The wind is cool after autumn, the rain is cool after autumn, and the weather is cool for a good autumn. The earth presents a gratifying harvest scene, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Facing the autumn breeze, Constantine involuntarily walked into the street, and heard several screams from time to time. There were many goods stalls on the street, from the street to the end of the street. The colorful goods on the stalls dazzled people, and even the air was filled. The attractive aroma of belly soup, tinned meat, cheese, grilled meat, tzatziki soup...
　　 Constantine suddenly had an idea, what other industry is better than the food industry?
　　 "Food safety" is definitely a topic of concern to the whole people. No one can say that there is a problem with cracking down on illegal businesses and solving hidden food safety hazards!
　　 Looking at the harassment of Sofia, apart from Constantine, who knows that in the near future, there will be a government crackdown?
　　 The issue of "food safety" has a long history. In the golden age of capitalism in the 19th century, in order to maximize the benefits, capitalists used all kinds of additives unscrupulously.
　　 As for food safety, as long as there is no problem immediately after eating, they dare to go on sale. All dead beef and rat meat are in pediatrics, and a large amount of mercury is used as a preservative, which is simply murder.
　　 On October 15, the Bulgarian government promulgated the "Food Safety Management Regulations", ordering food processing companies to rectify within a time limit.
　　 The capitalists waited and watched for a few days, and saw that the government did not continue to move, the typical "thunder and rain drops". So what should everyone do, none of them are fools, who can't get along with money.
　　 Of course, there is one exception, at least Shuanghui Food Group is undergoing a major rectification. Wei Li'an, who had inside information, naturally knew that the government was going to act this time.
　　 Previously, Shuanghui Food Group had multiple brands for the same product, and the price gap was huge. The difference between the lowest-end ordinary products and the most high-end noble exclusive products was more than ten times.
　　 Even so, the products exclusively provided by the nobles still sell well. Apart from the face-loving nobles, the capitalists are the main consumers.
　　Why do European aristocrats eat food from their own estates, and the capitalists who broke out are keen to buy estates? They are not fools, but everyone knows that there are problems with the food on the market.
Obviously, Ferdinand is also a qualified capitalist. The products sold to the masses are naturally maximized, and how cheap they are; and for the nobles, Ferdinand can guarantee that it is absolutely safe and does not add any chemicals. Medicine, mainly because he himself is also taking it.
　　 Anyway, the cheaper the product, the less guaranteed the quality of the product. It is absolutely in line with international standards. Everyone is almost the same. As for whether it will poison people, it is out of Ferdinand’s consideration.
　　 Ferdinand is now the king. From the standpoint of the king, Bulgaria needs to increase its population, so food safety is an urgent problem to be solved. Constantine's plan can be said to coincide with him.
　　 As for whether the rectification of the food industry will affect Ferdinand’s industry, that can only be said to be unfounded.
　　 No matter how rectified, people always have to eat! The demand on the market will not be greatly reduced, technological innovation, and production costs will rise, and the first unlucky ones will only be small capitalists.
　　 Within a few days, the Bulgarian Daily reported a piece of news. A large-scale food poisoning incident occurred at the Chaote Hardware Factory in Sofia. A total of more than 80 people were sent to Jiu Ren Ai Hospital for emergency treatment due to food poisoning.
　　According to news reports, the main cause of the poisoning is that a large amount of mercury preservatives are added to the foods eaten.
　　 This kind of thing was actually nothing new in Bulgaria at the time, and even in Europe, and even in the whole world at that time. Isn't it just a group of workers who were poisoned? It's not a big man who was poisoned. What's so great?
　　 Poisoning means being poisoned, there is something remarkable. And not all of these people died, not even one of them died.
　　 No one died, and he was sent to the hospital for rescue. What happens every day, can this be considered big news?
　　 Well, this kind of thing is really not news. If food poisoning occurred in the past, it would have caused the workers to fend for themselves. Now the capitalists have sent them to the hospital for rescue. Although they are forced by the labor law, this is a great improvement.
　　 The news media are too lazy to report because most of the workers are poor and don’t buy newspapers. But this time, the situation was completely different. The Bulgarian daily published the news in the most prominent position.
