Bulgarian Empire

Finally signed the 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 first as an entry point."

Constantine was surprised and said: "If it's just an industry, then we have to face much less resistance, but ~"

Ferdinand interrupted Constantine's words later: "There are not so many "but"! Your government can first find an industry to investigate, find out the problem, collect enough evidence, then public opinion, and then carry out reforms!"

Constantine thought about it, and after a while, he said, "Your Excellency the Archduke is wise!"

Ferdinand is very useful, although this flattery is very suffocating. He smiled and said, "Don't be flattering, this is not for you! By the way, you have a lot of work to do next. Reform is reform, but the Five-Year Plan cannot be affected. The government has a heavy responsibility!"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, the Ministry of the Interior will do it well!" Constantine assured

...

After leaving the Sofia Palace, Constantine had a headache, even though he agreed just now; in fact, he didn't have much clue.

The "Five-Year Plan" contained most of the government's energy. Constantine was against the current reform in his heart, and he was really too busy.

At the same time, he also agreed with Ferdinand's reasons for reform, and now is the time of least resistance to reform. Interest groups have just been cleaned up by the previous government, and their vitality has been greatly damaged, and they are all smart people who survived.

New congressional elections have not yet started, and all power is still concentrated in Ferdinand's hands. If the government enforces reforms, it can still go ahead. The rebound will not be very strong. After all, the butcher knife during the Stam period has frightened the capitalists, and they dare not fight against 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 like autumn. The earth presents a gratifying harvest scene, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Facing the autumn wind, Constantine walked to the street involuntarily. From time to time, he heard a few hawking noises. The street was full of goods stalls, from the street to the end of the street. The colorful goods on the stalls were dazzling, and even the air was filled with The enticing aromas of belly soup, tinned meat, cheese, grilled meat, tzatziki soup...

Constantine suddenly had an idea, what industry is better than the food industry?

"Food safety" is definitely a topic of concern to the whole people. To crack down on illegal businesses and solve hidden food safety hazards, no one can say that there is a problem!

Looking at the turbulent Sofia, apart from Constantine, who knows that there will be a government crackdown here in the near future?

The issue of "food safety" has a long history. In the golden age of capitalism in the 19th century, in order to maximize profits, the capitalists were unscrupulous and used various additives at will.

As for food safety, as long as there is no immediate problem after eating, it will be sold on the market. What dead beef and rat meat are all pediatrics, and a large amount of mercury compounds are used as preservatives, which is simply murder.

On October 15, the Bulgarian government issued the "Food Safety Management Regulations", ordering food processing enterprises to rectify within a time limit.

The capitalists waited and watched for a few days, and saw that the government did not continue to act, the typical "thunder and rain". So what should everyone do, they are not fools, who will have trouble with money.

Of course there is one exception, at least Shuanghui Food Group is undergoing a major rectification. Wei Li'an, who has inside information, naturally knows that this time the government is going to make a real move.

Previously, Shuanghui Food Group had a variety of brands of the same product, and the price gap was huge. The difference between the lowest-grade common goods and the highest-grade aristocratic specialties was ten times.

Even so, the products exclusively provided by the nobles still sell well. In addition to the nobles who love face, the capitalists are the main consumers.

Why do European aristocrats eat food from their own estates, and the bursting capitalists are also keen to buy estates? They are not fools, mainly because everyone knows that there are problems with the food sold on the market.

Obviously, Ferdinand is also a qualified capitalist, and the products sold to the public are naturally maximizing profits, and how to get them cheap; and for the nobles, Ferdinand can guarantee that it is absolutely safe, without adding any chemicals. Medicines, mainly because he was taking them himself.

Anyway, the cheaper it is, the less guaranteed the quality of the product. It is definitely in line with international standards. Everyone is similar. As for whether it will poison people, it is not within Ferdinand's consideration.

Now that Ferdinand is king, from the king's standpoint, Bulgaria needs to increase its population, so food security 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, it can only be said to be unfounded.

No matter how rectified, people always have to eat! Demand in the market will not be greatly reduced, technological innovation and production costs will rise, and the first unlucky will only be small capitalists.

A few days later, the Bulgarian daily reported a story. At the Chaote Hardware Factory in Sofia, a large-scale incident of food poisoning occurred. 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 poisoning is that a large amount of mercury preservatives are added to the food eaten.

In fact, this kind of thing was nothing new in Bulgaria at that time, or even in the whole of Europe, or even the whole world at that time. Isn't it just a group of workers who were poisoned, and it wasn't that some big man was poisoned. What's the big deal?

Poisoning is poisoning, there is something amazing. And not all of these people died, not even a single one.

Not even one person died, and they were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. What happens every day, can this be considered big news?

Well, this kind of thing is not really news at all. In the past, if food poisoning occurred, the workers would be left to fend for themselves. Now the capitalists have sent them to the hospital for rescue, although they were forced by the labor law, this is also a great improvement.

The news media are too lazy to report because most of the workers are poor and do not buy newspapers. But this time, the situation was different, the Bulgarian Daily published the news in the most prominent position.
