Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 20: ,fuse

   Ferdinand blocked the cabinet's death bill with a righteous expression.

  What's the joke? There are one or two. Bulgaria's financial gap is not several million, but hundreds of millions of levs.

   If all were transferred to the peasants, Ferdinand would have thought that countless bankrupt peasants would rise up, setting off a scene of revolution to overthrow the government.

   As for the quarrel with the cabinet, Ferdinand can't take care of it anymore. Compared with the peasant uprising, the cabinet is obviously a soft persimmon.

   Ferdinand still knows the Stam cabinet better. Politically rude, it can be called a novice, and Ferdinand has a way to deal with them.

  Out of the palace, Economic Minister Michael said worriedly: "Your Excellency, the Grand Duke has vetoed the tax increase bill, what shall we do?"

   "What to do! If so, then we don't have to be polite with him. Ferdinand's throne is still supported by us, and it's a big deal to change!" Interior Minister Yunus said angrily

   "What!" Everyone's faces changed

Stam-Bolov said angrily: "God! Yunus, you idiot, shut up! Don't talk nonsense, do you think it's a kid playing house, you can change people at will! You want to kill Us?"

   Knowing that Yunus was in trouble, his face was pale, and he knew that if today’s matter was spread, he would be finished. The matter of taking office as the Grand Duke had just passed, but Sofia was bloody, looking at everyone crying for help!

   Wilson, who usually has a good relationship with Yunus, came out and said, "Prime Minister, don't worry about that idiot Yunus, what should we do next?"

  Stam was silent for a moment, and said: "According to Bulgarian law, we can still convene the National Assembly. As long as the Parliament passes, the Grand Duke will not jump out to veto it again!"

   Everyone was shocked, their faces changed slightly, and finally they nodded. Everyone knows that bypassing the king and directly using the parliament to pass bills is equivalent to emptying the king.

   They will never get the support of Ferdinand anymore in this cabinet, and they will definitely be in trouble in the future.

   Sure enough, as Ferdinand expected. The Stam cabinet did not give up. After Ferdinand vetoed it, they directly convened the National Assembly.

   intends to take advantage of the Liberal Party in the National Assembly to forcibly pass the tax increase bill, while also attacking Ferdinand’s prestige.

   On April 28, 1888, Bulgaria again convened the National Assembly. On behalf of the Cabinet, Stam Bolov submitted the "Agricultural Tax Increase Bill" to Congress.

   But Ferdinand, who had already expected it, would naturally not do nothing. Before the Congress convened, the dispute between him and the cabinet had spread.

   Will the opposition party that received the news make Stam’s cabinet what it wants? Ferdinand didn't know.

   But what is certain is that public opinion is already on its side. Once the bill is passed, the cabinet will definitely be scolded.

   Knowing that the Congress must be very lively today, Ferdinand would naturally not attend the meeting. He would just hide behind and watch the show. If he jumped out directly, he would undoubtedly surrender himself.

   Looking at the noisy Congress, Stam felt irritated for no reason. To be able to become the prime minister of a country from the son of a shoemaker is naturally not a fool.

   Increasing agricultural taxes is certain to be scolded. He had prepared well in advance. For Bulgaria's industrialization, Stam didn't care about memorizing a bit of infamy.

   But looking at the chaotic Congress now, he doubts, can this group of people lead the revival of Bulgaria?

   Stam, who is also the speaker of the speaker, said angrily: "Quiet, you don't have to say anything, just start voting!"

  Unexpectedly, this move has caused strong dissatisfaction from the Conservative Party and democrats. According to normal procedures, the bill should be debated before voting.

   Stam was in a bad mood and skipped this link. After submitting the bill for clarification, he went to vote directly, depriving them of their right to speak.

   The angry Conservative Party MPs directly withdrew from the voting in protest.

   Not surprisingly, the Liberals occupy the seventh floor of Congress, so passing resolutions is naturally not a problem.

   Now the biggest opposition in Congress, the Conservative MPs simply withdrew from the vote, so it should be passed with a high vote!

   The result was unexpected, and the Conservative Party members regretted it. The resolution was passed with 26 votes in favor, 55 abstentions, and 18 votes against.

   The scene embarrassed Stam's cabinet, co-authoring them is so unpopular, and the approval rate is less than 30%. If the Conservative Party does not withdraw, then the Liberal Party-controlled Congress will veto their proposal today.

   It is conceivable that a political struggle around the cabinet is about to unfold.

   If Ferdinand is here, you can tell Stam clearly that he is thinking too much.

   Bulgarian parliamentarians are mostly overseas students. They are most likely to be influenced by public opinion when they are young and energetic.

   And a large part of them were from feudal landlords. The family would definitely not tell them how the land in the family came from. Hearing the tax increase, the first reaction was that their own interests were damaged.

   came out to oppose the proposal only out of instinct, not really dissatisfied with the cabinet.

   After receiving the result, Ferdinand knew that the UU reading www.uukanshu.com Stam’s cabinet was about to faint. This may be the fuse of the police government!

  Since it could not be stopped, Ferdinand naturally took advantage of the trend and strived to maximize his interests.

   At the very least, Ferdinand’s intelligence organization has already begun operations. Several newspapers have been secretly bought, and they are cheering for Ferdinand.

   While everyone did not react, he brushed a wave of prestige for him. At least in the hearts of most people, Ferdinand, who opposes excessive expropriation, is a kind king.

  Ferdinand’s gaze has now left Sofia and entered the vast countryside.

   As early as last year, Ferdinand sent people to the Austro-Hungarian Empire to seek agricultural experts, and then ordered the Ministry of Agriculture to conduct a preliminary investigation.

   His agricultural development plan was formulated by these experts. In order to ensure its smooth completion, Ferdinand also lowered the standard.

   As early as a thousand years ago, during the Warring States Period, farmers realized that fertilizers could be used to improve the soil. Early farmers applied compost and animal manure to their farmland.

   Scientists in the 19th century discovered the important role of nitrogen. Farmers began to buy sodium nitrate found in Chile's natural sediments and use them in their fields.

   However, Bulgaria’s agriculture as a whole is still behind the times, the use of chemical fertilizers is very unreasonable, and the yield per mu is less than two-thirds of Western Europe.

   Water conservancy projects are even more messy, basically relying on the sky for food. If Bulgaria does not have superior climatic conditions and a large area with sparse population, it is estimated that it will have a headache for food.

   Ferdinand is no longer a second-year boy. He didn't plan to solve the problem in one go. He was going to pick Rongyi first.

   First, let the agricultural experts work out the rational use of chemical fertilizers. Then it was handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture, and promoted to the following, first produced the results, and then continued to deepen.
