Bulgarian Empire

Vol 4 Chapter 37: ,income

By the end of 19o9, the total population of Bulgaria had increased to 10,000, an increase of 1,798,900 compared to 10,000 in 19o7, of which the natural population growth was 1,182,600, and the rest is still the population policy of the Population Administration!

However, as the situation in Russia has stabilized, the number of immigrants has dropped drastically after entering 19o8.

By the year 1909, most of the immigrants from Russia were wives brought by visiting relatives in their hometowns, and few of them had given birth to their families.

After all, the situation is stable, and few people are willing to leave their homes. And this has something to do with the traditional culture of the Europeans. Basically, the eldest son inherits the family business, and the second son goes out to discuss life.

Going out is equivalent to self-reliance. If it is not a last resort, parents will not take the whole family to seek refuge!

However, Ferdinand is also satisfied. According to this degree, it is almost enough. After all, immigrants also need time to integrate. Too much increase at one time is also a problem for resettlement. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Under normal circumstances, after the "Family Planning Law" is promulgated, Bulgaria will definitely be a period of explosive population growth in the next few years. Ferdinand has no doubt about this. This is also related to Bulgaria's population structure.

Ferdinand has been implementing the national policy of encouraging fertility for a long time since he took the throne. Although the previous efforts were not as great as now, the effect is still obvious!

Comparing the historical data of previous lives, it will be found that since Ferdinand’s accession to the throne, Bulgaria’s birth rate has increased by 0.1% to 0.9% compared to the same period in history, which is basically the same as Russia in the same period, with the birth rate remaining at 4.26. Hovering between %~5.32%, this number is already pretty good!

Newborns born before 1892 are just affected by his population policy, and they are now in the proper-age childbearing period, and this situation will continue for many years.

And most of the immigrants imported from Russia are mainly young and strong. For a long time in the future, Bulgarian society will be mainly young. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

The greater the number of children of the right age, the more obvious the population stimulus policy will be. The future birth rate will definitely skyrocket, and it may even create a world record!

In fact, among women in Eastern Europe, there are not a few women with a mother having five or six children, but due to the relationship between medical conditions and living standards, not many can feed!

Bulgaria has done very well in this regard. The survival rate of newborn babies has remained at around 95%, which is much higher than the 84% in Montenegro! (Remarks: This survival rate is only one year without premature death, which can actually grow up to an adult, perhaps less than two-thirds)

Oh, Ferdinand also prohibits the sale of all contraceptives nationwide, unless it is a special place, or even condoms are prohibited in the market.

As for abortion, probably no doctor in Bulgaria dares to do it. According to the new law, the baby in the belly of pregnant women is alive, and abortion is a crime of intentional homicide. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

If abortion is necessary under special circumstances, it must be reported to the government department. Otherwise, the police will be charged with intentional homicide. Under normal circumstances, no one dares to try the law!

Well, in order to increase the population, Ferdinand can be considered to be racking his brains, even so, the total population of Bulgaria is still far behind the powers!

The total population of Bulgaria compares with the powers of the same period:

Equivalent to two-thirds of the total population of Italy;

Equivalent to 56% of the total population of France;

Equivalent to half of the total population of the UK;

Equivalent to 45 percent of the total population of the Austro-Hungarian Empire;

Equivalent to 43% of the total population of Japan;

Equivalent to one third of the total population of Germany;&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Equivalent to a quarter of the total population of the United States;

Equivalent to 14% of the total population of Russia. (Deduct the population loss caused by the butterfly effect)

In general, Bulgaria has a long way to go in terms of population. In theory, with Bulgaria’s current population growth rate, when the world war breaks out, the total population can reach about 270,000.

In fact, due to various reasons, the population growth rate may be even faster, but wanting to exceed 30 million is undoubtedly a dream!

Oh, if you add the colonial population, this figure can be easily made up. Obviously Ferdinand would not do that!

Compared with the population, Bulgaria's other data are still barely passable. The processing and manufacturing industry has passed Italy. The total number of railway mileage in the country is now the same as that of Italy. The output of heavy industry like steel and coal is far from Italy. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Simply put, in addition to population, Bulgaria has now caught up with the Italians, the weakest powers in Europe, in other areas, and the overall national strength is the same as the Italians!

Of course, there is still a bottom Japan, but this is not comparable! Due to the distance, and the white supremacy prevailing in Europe at that time, the cost of digging a talent in Europe for Japan may be two or three times that of Bulgaria!

Even so, it is difficult to dig people, and it is pressing. The Japanese actually dig directly into the corner of the Qing Dynasty, regardless of whether the technology is backward or not, they still insist on advancing on the road of industrialization!

Oh, ignore them first! Before World War I, Japan could not be regarded as an industrial country, although he was also a member of the great powers!

...

In terms of income, Bulgaria's total fiscal revenue in 19o9 was about 2.36 billion lev (about 9.44 million pounds), still maintaining a relatively high growth rate. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

In 1909, Bulgaria's gross national income reached 18.25 billion lev (about 730 million pounds), and the per capita annual income was 822 lev (about 32.8 pounds). From the data point of view, Bulgaria’s fiscal revenue accounts for 12.9% of its gross national income, which is as high as Japan’s.

This is not to say that Bulgaria's domestic taxes are high, and the exploitation of the people is serious!

On the contrary, in order to encourage economic development, Bulgaria has adopted a low tax policy for many industries, and there are even direct tax exemptions in the field of heavy industry!

In fact, in any country that implements nationalism, the government's fiscal revenue is relatively high. Because the government directly controls more industries, the natural fiscal revenue is high!

For example, railways in Bulgaria are state-owned, while railways in European and American countries are mostly private. Obviously, the profit part of the income from the operation of the Bulgarian railway is summarized into the government's fiscal revenue, while the European and American countries only take the tax part! &1t;i>&1t;/i>

The same high fiscal revenue, UU reading www.uukanshu.com expenditure is also high, for example, building a railway requires government funding, so Bulgaria's current finances are still not rich!

If there were not so many expenses, and the annual financial income of more than 90 million pounds, Ferdinand would have joined the naval arms race long ago!

Don't look at Bulgaria's fiscal revenue in 19o9, which was more than 90 million pounds. In fact, due to the war, the government's fiscal deficit is still as high as more than eight million pounds. Getting the war reparations will almost flatten the deficit!

Mainly the debts of the Greeks, that can only be debts, don't expect someone to dare to provide them with loans!

Now the Greek government is struggling to repay the loan. If it were not for international influence, Ferdinand would have prepared the Greek government to learn from Japan’s loan repayment experience!

However, considering the sequelae, Ferdinand decided not to intervene, and it would be better for the Greeks to understand on their own, otherwise the pot would not be able to be dumped.

Oh, the most important thing is the resilience of the Greeks is not as strong as that of the Japanese. If they are in a hurry, they will say the opposite. In addition, their population is originally small, and they cannot squeeze much oil!

In this regard, Ferdinand actually still has a conscience, perhaps because of the influence of his previous life, he seldom does things completely, otherwise the Greek peninsula is definitely a **** on earth!

According to the feces and urine of European powers in this era, they know that there is nothing they can't do!

For details, please refer to the atrocities committed by the British against the Boers in South Africa. This was born under the background of condemnation by public opinion throughout Europe!

Ferdinand estimated that if there was no pressure from European public opinion, and another genocide, John Bull would do it smoothly!
