Chapter 48, Agriculture - Inspection

After James was dismissed, Ferdinand lay helplessly on the teacher's chair, and Alice rubbed his forehead lightly for him.

"The small temple is very demonic, and there are more than eight kings of Chiqian!"

This sentence fully describes the current situation in Bulgaria, which is the result of cleaning up a lot of moths before.

The problems in Bulgarian agriculture are far from being as simple as they seem, they are just corruption or misappropriation of public funds. The core problem is that agriculture has not attracted the attention of bureaucrats.

The "Five-Year Plan" is unfolding like fire, like the "railway plan" that is the most difficult and most valued.

So far, there have been no major problems, and even the most chaotic phase of the Stam period has not been affected.

All local governments have made every effort to support railway construction. Demolition and land acquisition, material transportation, many local governments organize manpower and help them impermanently. Anyway, Ferdinand has not found anyone who dares to hold back.

Ferdinand couldn't think of a way to change the ideas and concepts that the bureaucrats had in their minds for a while.

Seeing that Ferdinand was in a bad mood, Alice, who was also a secretary and maid, was also annoying. He suggested, "Grand Duke, why don't you go out for a walk?"

"Go out for a walk, yes! It's time to go out for a walk!" Ferdinand said with great joy

With one word, the dreamer was awakened, and the confused Ferdinand suddenly found a way.

In the history of the original time and space, the Soviet Union also faced this problem when it implemented the first five-year plan.

It was not until the first half of 1929, when Stalin personally inspected the countryside and urged the work, that the collectivization of agricultural socialism in the Soviet Union was in full swing.

In just two months in the Soviet Union, 10 million peasant households joined the collectivization, accounting for half of the country's peasant households. Although there were many problems in the middle, the Soviet Union's agricultural reform was generally successful.

Bulgaria's problem is not as serious as the Soviet Union! Ferdinand only intended to carry out agricultural reforms, but he did not touch private ownership of land and did not harm class interests.

...

It snowed heavily in the sky, and everything was white. Only the pine trees were still as bright green, and the snow flakes fell on it, like white flowers.

In February 1891, Ferdinand set off from Sofia and set off on a three-month tour of the country in the severe cold.

Starting in the northwest direction, Fiddy set off with a thousand guards, and the first stop was Vlaza State.

Vratsa is a city in northwestern Bulgaria and the capital of Vratsa Oblast. It is located on the northern slope of the western section of the Balkan Mountains, where the Leva River flows into the plain.

The geographical location is superior, with natural gas, chemical industry, cement, cotton textile, silk textile, cast iron, copper smelting, fertilizer, wood processing and other industries, and agriculture is rich in wheat and oats.

The importance of Fratsa Oblast in Bulgaria cannot be overemphasized.

In parallel time and space in 1974, urea accounted for 96% of Bulgaria's total national output, pulp accounted for 24.8% of the country, cement accounted for 23% of the country, and cotton accounted for 19% of the country.

In terms of agriculture, the state has the third largest production of wheat and oats in the country, the fourth largest production of poultry eggs, and the eighth largest production of milk.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that Bulgaria's "Kozroduj" atomic power station, which was built near the village of Kozroduj in Fraca Region, is the first atomic power station in the Balkans and the whole of southeastern Europe. .

It is impossible for Ferdinand to ignore it, but now the state of Fraca is not as brilliant as later generations, the industrial development has just started, and the agricultural development is seriously lagging behind.

Ferdinand's surprise attack stunned the bureaucrats in Fraca State. Since Sofia was only a few days away, they had not had much time to prepare when they were informed.

This time, Ferdinand was not looking for their bad luck. Whenever he went to a place, he would send people to inspect the factory and go to the countryside in person.

When encountering a problem, he will directly raise it and order the local government to solve it.

What are bureaucrats? Ferdinand in the previous life did not miss it. Without pressure, there is no motivation. Among them, catering to the political requirements of superiors is their main motivation for behavior.

Wei Zheng-Ivanov, the governor of the Fratsa Region, is a new bourgeois bureaucrat. Since he came to power, the industry in Fraca State has developed rapidly, with an annual growth rate of more than 10%, and has been commended by the government for many times.

So even if he was from the Liberal Party and was a die-hard supporter of Stam Bolov, he was not replaced by the new government.

...

Wei Zheng-Ivanlov said sharply: "Okay, gentlemen, let's get ready now! The Grand Duke is coming soon, I don't want him to see a messy Vlaza, who will be when something goes wrong? Don't even think about it!"

"Don't worry, Governor, we will do it!" Everyone answered in unison

It is enough to see his prestige. If Ferdinand saw this scene, he would definitely shout "mountainism"!

On February 18, Ferdinand came to Fraca with a large group of horses and was warmly welcomed by the people. The first image the city gave him was clean and tidy.

Ferdinand wouldn't be surprised if it were Fraca in the 21st century. But now it's the 19th century, and cities all over the world are a mess, dirty, messy, and bad. There is also the saying that "the car and wine stinks in London", and cleanliness has not been paid attention to by people.

I have to say that Wei Zheng-Ivanlov's flattery is right. Since Ferdinand took the throne, he has issued orders for political cleanliness many times. At present, only Sofia has been fully implemented.

Ferdinand graciously received Wei Zheng-Ivanlov and attended the welcome banquet they organized.

Of course, he just went to show one face, said less than ten words, and left in a hurry. After all, the identity gap is too big, and it is difficult to play happily together.

"Wei Zheng-Ivanlov, you did a great job!" Ferdinand summoned Wei Zheng alone and said

Wei Zheng-Ivan Lovlian said: "Don't dare, I just followed the orders of Your Excellency the Grand Duke, and I just did my essential work!"

Later generations of Westerners are very confident, and they are very direct and do not like modesty. In the 19th century, however, their self-confidence had not exploded, at least with respect to those of higher status.

Ferdinand smiled and said, "If you can carry out my orders perfectly, you are a talent! But what I see now is only part of it, and I look forward to your performance in other aspects!"

Wei Zheng-Ivanlov was first happy, and then surprised. The order of the central government, Wei Zheng believes that it is still very good! However, it is difficult to say whether it can meet Ferdinand's requirements. There is still some secret regret in my heart: "If I had known earlier that the Grand Duke was coming to inspect, I would definitely have done better."

...

How come there are so many leaders in later generations who want to inspect everywhere? Is it okay to stay in the office? Ferdinand didn't understand it very well before crossing, and thought it was just a show. After being a king for more than two years, Ferdinand found that it was necessary to show off, at least to give the following enough pressure!
