Chapter 16: ,Planned economy

After Falcon dismissed the cabinet, Ferdinand shouted at the door: "Butler Carl, tell us to come to the meeting."
"Good Grandpa!" Carl the old steward replied in a loud voice.
Twenty-five hours later, Ferdinand summoned everyone and said, "Sirs, please sit down. Everyone came to Bulgaria with me from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Now the situation is basically clear for everyone."

Bulgaria is just a small country. It ’s not easy to grow and develop, and now I need everyone ’s help.
Ferdinand finished and looked down.
"Dear Grand Duke, it is our glory to serve you!" Ferrantz and others said in unison
Jeff Ferdinand was very satisfied with the crowd's response and said with a smile: "Okay, not much nonsense, expand our industry first. Although Bulgaria's market is still small, the competition is also small!"
"But the Grand Duke, Bulgaria's poor traffic conditions, our products are difficult to be competitive internationally!" Wei Li'an said with sullenness.
"Oh, Mr. Wellian, I know it's difficult, isn't there anyone else! You can consider focusing on the Balkan market. Domestic, Greece, Serbia, and Turkey are all good options!" Ferdinand knew Wellian's concerns and proposed Say.
"Okay, Grand Duke, then I understand. If this is the case, there should be no problem, but they are all poor ghosts, and the profit will not be too high!" Wei Li'an reminded
当然 "Of course, I know, isn't there still an Austro-Hungarian factory in the international market! Your current focus is still there. The main competitors of the flour mill here are family workshops and transportation!" Ferdinand said with some depression.
After saying that, Ferdinand glanced at the others and said, "You will never have a problem!"
Looking at the silent crowd, Ferdinand said dejectedly: "It seems that the road must be repaired first! I will find the cabinet to make a railway plan as soon as possible and issue public debt."
Uh ...
Even though Ferdinand was already prepared, Ferdinand was still very depressed. He still had a headache about what to do in Bulgaria's future.
I thought about it: "The high-end route, how do you go about it? The internal combustion engine, cars, airplanes, tanks and so on are relatively far away. None of these things can be achieved in Bulgaria."
"Even if it comes out, it can still be sold internally, and when it goes out, it will be beaten by companies in other places, and the industry will be too poor!"
"Let's slowly plant it now. There is really no way to industrially base it. It needs to be replenished slowly and needs state support."
"Let ’s persuade the cabinets of the second middle group. Forget about using big data directly. Young people have little patience. They can set up a five-year plan and adopt a planned economy. It is suitable for their appetite. Now Bulgaria has no capitalists. Against. "
春 The spring breeze blew through Sofia's palace in 1887,
I slept in the grass for a winter, now woke up, stubbornly sticking my head out of the ground, although I saw a little green, but full of vitality.
五个 After five months of investigation, the Cabinet concluded that Bulgaria's natural resources were poor, and the previously submitted industrial plan had long been thrown into the Mediterranean.
"Well, everyone, be spiritual! Natural resources are scarce and there is no way to make up for it." Ferdinand comforted
"Her Majesty, are you planning to start a war?" Stambolov said with a bright eye.
Jeff Ferdinand thought to himself: "The Bulgarians are indeed the Prussians of the Balkans, and indeed they are belligerent. Just look at the cabinets and you will know. No wonder the more than four million people in history have mobilized more than 1.2 million troops!"
He rolled his eyes and said, "No, now we have no strength to wage war! Although Bulgaria lacks mineral resources, its geographical conditions are still very good, and its citizens are very supportive of the government. I intend to implement a planned economy and reduce unnecessary resource losses. "
"Planned economy" everyone was busy, set their sights.
"Yes, the planned economy. Maybe you don't understand it. I'm going to keep it simple."
"Take an example, such as the railway. It is planned to build a thousand kilometers of railway within five years to improve Bulgaria's transportation. If the private capital is not enough, the government will issue public debt to build it."
"A thousand kilometers of railway, to be built in Bulgaria within five years?" Secretary of Transport Clinton dare not ask.
"Yes," said the grandfather with a smile.
"I support it," Clinton said directly.
"This is just one of them. Bulgaria's main industries have been involved." Ferdinand said confidently, seeing the performance of everyone, he knew the results.
"Okay, be quiet, let's discuss when I'm done!" Ferdinand waved a hand.
"This is my initial idea, you can take a look." After finishing Ferdinand gave a "Bulgarian Five-Year Plan" to everyone.
Article 1 focuses on the development of agriculture. 娉 Invite agricultural experts to vigorously promote advanced agricultural production technologies, to increase the total output of agricultural products by 30% within five years, and increase farmers' income;
Second, the railway plan, build five thousand kilometers of railway nationwide in five years to improve traffic conditions. The funds required are settled by the government by issuing railway bonds;
Article 3. Military, 1. Establish a junior arsenal, and basically achieve domestic production of light weapons and equipment within five years. 2. Complete the reorganization of the national army within five years, implement the reserve system and compulsory military service system; 3. Establish the National Defense University;
Industry 4. Encourage the development of heavy and heavy industries. Considering the lack of resources in Bulgaria, support for key industries such as steel mills, machine ring factories, or military enterprises, exempt taxes, and preferentially use domestic production under the same conditions;
Article 5. Education. 1. Establish literacy classes in factories and rural areas. Encourage young students to take classes during holidays. The content is based on popular law. The illiteracy rate should be controlled within 15% within five years. 2. Establish a family Public comprehensive universities, in view of this is a special period, only open science and engineering subjects; 3, 3 new normal colleges, training teachers to lay the foundation for future compulsory education.
"The above five items are the core of this five-year plan, which can also be called the Five-Five-Year Plan. If you have any suggestions you can add, you can also give comments. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Ferdinand said confidently.
"Respect Your Excellency, can I do it? This obviously violates the laws of the market!" The Minister of Economy Michael asked without confidence.
"Of course you can, don't care about the market laws of shit, it's nothing more than the collection of capitalists' money, all of which are used to fool people! Be confident, you are all Bulgarian elites, and you can do it. Maybe it will be overdone! "Dagong encouraged
"Dear Grand Duke, how can the funds be solved? With Bulgaria's fiscal revenue, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete?" Prime Minister Stambolov
"In this case, the main expenditure is the railway plan. Issuing railway bonds can set interest a little higher and absorb private capital. If it is not enough, you can sell it abroad. The debt from the railway operation will be used to repay the debt. a little."
"Like a arsenal, I can invest, so the government saves another expense."
"The funding gap behind is no longer large. With Bulgaria's fiscal revenue, it should be reluctantly completed. At most, some education bonds are being issued. What's the problem?" Ferdinand said very easily.
"Dear Grand Duke, why are there no targets for steel and coal? This is a strong country and is indispensable!" Michael asked in confusion.
"It's very simple. Bulgaria's coal reserves are too small. We can't change them in violation of natural laws. Iron ore is in the Balkan Mountains. Before the railway is built, all the raw materials for the steel plant are imported. It is better to import steel directly. ! "Explained Ferdinand
"If you don't have any questions, we'll make the decision. The specific details will be given to you for improvement, and then submitted to the National Assembly for resolution!" Ferdinand announced that the decision was made without seeing everyone else.
