Bulgarian Empire

　　 Ferdinand did not stay in Vratsa for a long time, and embarked on the journey again the next day.

　　 Koinare Village, Vratsa Prefecture, is still just an ordinary small mountain village, poor and backward, without a trace of the first village in Bulgaria.

　　 Ferdinand hid his identity and came quietly with a few guards. It was already noon, and Ferdinand came to the only restaurant in the village. It also worked part-time in a grocery store and a tavern.

　　 Through chatting with people, Ferdinand knew that his boss was Carter Dilov, a middle-aged man in his forties. I can see that he is very optimistic, although the business in the small shop is not very good.

　　 Ferdinand asked the guards to order their own dishes. He ordered a piece of yogurt, a piece of bread, and a local salad, made of onions, green peppers, celery, spring bamboo shoots, etc. It was lunch.

　　 The taste, not to mention it! Ferdinand could only barely swallow. The only flavoring agents were salt and jam. Apart from ensuring the original ecology, he didn't find a trace of delicious food.

　　 After barely eating a few bites and pressing his stomach, Ferdinand couldn’t help asking, "Mr. Carter, is there nothing else here?"

When Carter Dilov heard Ferdinand’s question, he quickly said, "Oh, God! Dear guest, of course there is. You see, these snacks were brought back by my son from Vratsa! What do you want? Here? There are ham, sausage, canned food, and french fries..."

　　 Ferdinand asked puzzledly: "Wait, Carter, you have so many products, why don't you sell them? Just write a few more names on the board, it's very simple!"

　　 Carter’s boss immediately replied: "Oh, sorry! Dear guest, you are very knowledgeable, and you must know that some time ago, the whole country of Bulgaria has carried out a strict crackdown on food safety, and now these products have increased in price!"

　　 "Our Koinare village is just a small place. Everyone is a group of poor ghosts. There were not a few people who could afford it. Now everyone can't afford it."

　　 "I only bought this batch of goods more than three months ago. I explained to them the price increase. They didn't believe it. They said that I was lying. When I got angry, I would take them off the shelves!"

"Carter, you're lying again. How could the price of goods have doubled in one go? When I was young, I had been to Vratsa. There were also poor ghosts in the city, and their lives were not much better than ours. According to you They’re afraid they’ll starve to death!” An old man who was about 60 years old among the guests said

　　 The old man is very energetic. He looks a little bit old in his clothes, but he is clean and tidy without patches. Ferdinand could see that his life should be considered good.

　　 Boss Carter said with an expression of innocence on my face: "Master Frank, you know, when did I lie to Carter! It was originally the price. If you don't believe me, ask this gentleman!"

　　 The old man named Frank rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I know what you were like before, but now it's different! Since you started your business, it has deteriorated. There are a few merchants who don't lie!"

　　 Seeing Frank's life and death, Boss Carter jumped in a hurry. Ferdinand understood the cause and effect. He took a can of beef, looked at the production date, and suddenly understood.

　　Ferdinand smiled and said, "Mr. Frank, this time you really wronged Boss Carter!"

　　 Frank looked at Ferdinand blankly, he was helping him, how could he say he was wrong.

Ferdinand continued: "Judging from the production date above, it was produced half a year ago. If Carter's boss bought it three months ago, it would be worth the price. At that time, many low-quality goods on the market were seized and there was a shortage of them everywhere. Goods, so the price is a bit high."

　　 Frank still asked with some doubts: "Sir, according to you, the outside prices have really risen so much?"

　　 Ferdinand calmly said: "No! I said that three months ago, now the market has returned to normal, and the overall price increase should not exceed 10%!"

　　 Carter boss said excitedly: "Master Frank, now you should believe it, I really didn't lie to you!"

Frank tilted his head and said without cutting his head, "Oh, God! You are such an idiot Carter! Didn't you hear this gentleman? That was the price of three months ago, and it has returned to normal now! You are still pressing Doesn't it explain the problem at the price at that time?"

　　 Carter’s boss said excitedly: "But, my purchase price is so high! If the price drops, I will lose it!"

Frank said with a smile: "That's your business. Isn't it normal to lose money in business? By the way, you should find a way to sell it as soon as possible, or keep it for yourself, or if it expires, then shit!"

　　...

　　 Seeing the conversation between the two people, Ferdinand understood that Frank had no opinion on Carter, but simply hated the businessman. Although the words were awkward, he reminded Carter to sell the goods quickly.

　　 Ferdinand smiled and asked "Mr. Frank, how was the harvest in your village last year?"

　　 Frank said with a smile: "Guest, you said and laughed! It's not the same, let's go!"

　　 Ferdinand asked doubtfully: "Isn't it promoting new agricultural technology? Why didn't it increase production?"

　　 Carter’s boss preemptively said: "Why didn’t increase production, but just made some trouble and didn’t go to study, so~~"

　　 Frank seemed to be stepped on his aching foot, "Go, Carter has nothing to do with you!"

　　 "The guest laughed, you know that agricultural technological innovation is not overnight, the old man, I am timid, and the technician sent from above did not explain clearly, so I plan to wait and see!"

　　Ferdinand smiled and said: "Understand, you are old-fashioned and prudent! By the way, I took a look at the lack of irrigation channels on your side. How to solve agricultural water use?"

After hearing Ferdinand’s question, Frank said with a helpless look: "What else? God bless, we have been in good weather in the past few years! The ditch repairing, the guest you said, is not that simple! Don’t look. Our conditions are good this time, but to solve the water problem, the amount of engineering alone is not something we can afford!"

　　 Ferdinand nodded cautiously and continued to ask: "If the government comes forward to organize, would you be willing to participate?"

Frank smiled and said: "The guests said and laughed. If the government is willing to come forward, why would we refuse? I don't know other places. If our village alone solves the agricultural water problem, we can at least reclaim three points. One out!"

　　 Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction. Since the people are willing to support, the subsequent water conservancy project plan can be launched.

　　 Frank suddenly changed his face and asked in surprise: "Guest, is it a government member?"

　　 "What? Doesn't it look like?" Ferdinand asked back

　　 Frank said quickly: "Like! So? There are rumors that the government will organize water conservancy projects. Is this true?"

　　 Ferdinand nodded and said, "There is indeed a plan!"

　　 Frank exclaimed: "God bless, can you start from our side?"

　　 "What's the matter, old gentleman, are you not timid? This time you won't wait and see?" Ferdinand said with a smile

　　 Frank exclaimed: "God, oh no! What are the risks of repairing water conservancy projects? We won't suffer anyway!"

"Furthermore, in the past year or two, our days have improved so much! Your Excellency has done a great job, and the tax is much lighter than before. It turned out that we had to provide labor to build the railway, but it was cancelled. UU看书www. uukanshu.com has become a recruiter, so the pressure on everyone is naturally much less!"

Ferdinand smiled and said that he knew it, but it was very helpful in his heart, thinking: "This is all made by Lao Tzu, of course it is clear! You think I don't want to use free labor, it's not because there are water conservancy projects behind! It’s better to hire labor and let you participate voluntarily than to force it!"

Ferdinand teased and said: "However, Frank, you can't escape this time. The principle of the construction of the water conservancy project this time is that the government produces explosives and some machinery. The rest of the labor can only depend on you. Work hard!"

　　 Frank's face became stiff, and he laughed quickly, and said, "This is no problem. The entire water conservancy project in Bulgaria requires an astronomical amount of manpower. I can think of no other way except for everyone to play together!"

"Yes, the Ministry of Agriculture estimates that to complete the water conservancy projects nationwide, hundreds of millions of workers will be needed. Even if the young people all over the country are in battle, it will take several years. In this regard, in addition to your own efforts, the government can do nothing Not much!" Ferdinand said carefully

　　 "So much?" Carter exclaimed

　　 Frank glared at Carter and said, "Fuck! We are good here. If everything goes well, it will take a year or two to repair it. If the conditions are bad, it will be repaired for ten or eight years. It is not surprising!"

　　...

　　 After finishing the chat, Ferdinand declined Frank’s invitation and left directly.

　　 To a certain extent, Bulgaria and the Chinese are a bit similar, they both have family love, and they also value the land very much.

　　 Until later lives, if they were not forced to be helpless, they would not leave their hometown to work.

　　 After the merchants became rich, many people like to return to their hometowns to buy land and land. Frank is the epitome of Bulgarian small landlords and rich farmers.
