Bulgarian Empire

Time flies by, and the end of 19o9 arrived in a flash. To Ferdinand's surprise, Queen Xenia became pregnant again this winter, and this was already their fifth child.

Although he didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl, Ferdinand was very excited. His idea had always been that more children would bring more blessings, especially Xenia's age is not young, maybe this is their last child, Ferdinand Showed extra attention! (Remarks: Xenia was born in 1875 to died in 196o)

Of course, Ferdinand would not admit that he was influenced by the environment! As an otaku in his previous life, he didn't have such thoughts!

In order to increase the population, since Ferdinand succeeded to the throne, Bulgaria began to advocate the concept of "more births, more children, more blessings" in public opinion.

After more than 20 years of bombing, this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Ferdinand was inevitably affected!

Even Bulgaria has introduced a special law to encourage childbearing, but because the government was too poor before, there were still very few substantive rewards, and most of them were spiritual encouragements.

Now Ferdinand is going to amend this law again, and at the same time, he is also going to directly introduce a law to prohibit all abortions. Before, this behavior was restricted by religious beliefs, and it was not enforceable!

Oh, and now the queen's pregnancy is the perfect example of publicity! After all, the king and queen have worked so hard to increase the population of Bulgaria. This is the fifth birth. Why don't you work hard?

Happy people are happy, and now Ferdinand is happy all day long.

In order to be able to fully implement family planning, Ferdinand convened a special seminar for the cabinet, striving to bring Bulgaria's population growth rate to a higher level!

Although the little kid born now can't keep up with the First World War, it doesn't matter, isn't there a next time? This time is just right. Thirty years later, it will catch up completely. If you are lucky, you may be able to add another generation!

In Bulgaria, there is no such thing as late marriage and late childbearing. Many people are fifteen or sixteen-year-old kids, and they have reached the age to talk about marriage.

In order to increase the population, the unscrupulous Ferdinand directly ignored all these things!

Oh, he can't control it if he wants to. This is an ancient tradition. Besides, Europeans are born earlier, and physiologically, it's almost the same.

Besides, the children of the poor headed home early, and the average life expectancy in this era was not long. Even at the beginning of the 20th century, the average life expectancy in Bulgaria was less than 60 years old, so getting married too late must not work!

In fact, the birth rate in this era is still very high. The birth rate in the world has always been above 4%. However, the birth rate in some countries in Western Europe and Northern Europe has begun to decline.

The decline in the birth rate does not mean that people will be less willing to have children. The key is that due to the development of capitalism, many female workers have also entered the factory. Everyone has to work in order to survive. There is no time or the capitalists squeezed so much that they can't afford to have children!

After all, in this era, there is no such thing as protection of women's rights and interests, as long as one is pregnant, one will either have a miscarriage or lose one's job!

Most of the working class in this era have no savings and lost their jobs. For an ordinary family, this means the beginning of a disaster!

Therefore, many people are forced to make a living and dare not get pregnant at all! In addition, some factories are also very harmful to the human body. Many people have lost their ability to reproduce if they have been engaged in these jobs for a long time.

These factors are the main reasons for the decline in population growth rate in Western Europe! This situation has an impact on any industrialized country. Currently, the environment in Bulgaria is slightly better.

After all, it is nationalism that dominates and uses morality to restrain the behavior of capitalists. They dare not go too far!

At least during pregnancy, they will not fire people. Of course, the salary during the leave period is gone. If you do better, you will give a little living allowance!

Oh, and this one is mostly Ferdinand's own! no way,

Why is it that the large enterprises in Bulgaria are basically his own vests?

On the bright side, the royal family took the lead, and of course everyone responded. As a result, Ferdinand had to spend tens of millions of levs every year!

As for private enterprises? People also participated in it, anyway, this is useless standard, just give some money, it's fine! And it can also be euphemistically called, this is the corporate social responsibility!

In this regard, several newspapers controlled by the government are very keen to report this kind of news. Rather than commending the good deeds of capitalists, they are more willing to expose the ugly faces of unscrupulous capitalists.

Once exposed, you will be blacklisted by the government immediately, and many people will automatically distance themselves from you!

The lethality of this blacklist is very powerful. To put it simply: the railway will be closed to you permanently, and no one will sell you many raw materials, and no one will buy the products you produce!

Oh, you can also find a way to transport it by road and sell it yourself. The prerequisite is not to be discovered by others, after all, cooperating with you will also be condemned by public opinion!

Despite their reluctance, in this general environment, the capitalists still have to try their best to disguise themselves and make a good name for themselves as much as possible!

Once any behavior becomes a habit, everyone gradually adapts to it. Under Ferdinand's education, after more than 20 years, the entire Bulgarian social atmosphere has taken on a new look!

Many people even think that they are really good people, and many capitalists will inadvertently provide a little help to ordinary workers, although it is more likely to make a name for themselves!

But this point still puzzles proletarian revolutionaries all over the world. It seems that the capitalists in Bulgaria are another species, and there is still a long way to go to spread revolutionary ideas in Bulgaria!

But Ferdinand knew that it was nothing more than that, there were occasional cases of kindness, and most of them were done for the sake of fame!

Especially powerful capitalists, for the sake of fame, they don't mind spending a lot of money, which is not fundamentally different from the entrepreneurs of later generations putting on a show!

But it doesn't matter, no matter how much you put on a show, it's better than doing nothing! Ferdinand has always only paid attention to the results, and he doesn't care about their inner thoughts at all!

Ferdinand knew that in order to encourage childbearing, it would not work to dump all these costs on enterprises, as many small capitalists simply cannot afford it!

Therefore, the government still needs to pay, but this still involves many aspects, and the Bulgarian government has held several meetings to study it.

...

Prime Minister Constantine said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, our government has carefully studied the issue of legislation to encourage births. This issue is not a big one and can be brought up to Congress at any time.

However, it is a bit troublesome to release maternity subsidies. This also involves the issue of coverage and the formulation of specific standards, which is difficult to determine! "

Ferdinand asked suspiciously: "What is the annual newborn population in Bulgaria now? If the subsidy plan is adapted, how much can it increase? Has the government calculated this?"

Constantine thought for a while and said, "At present, the number of newborn babies in Bulgaria has been maintained at around one million. This ratio is already considered high among European industrial countries, and it can basically be on par with the Russians.

How much this number can be increased after the subsidy, because there is no such precedent in the world, and we have no reference, we can only roughly estimate, under normal circumstances, it should be able to increase by 10 to 30%, this may also have something to do with the amount of the subsidy ! "

Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "This is indeed a problem. We must not only consider the birth rate, but also the survival rate of newborn babies, and the economic strength of the people. How much can they afford? And future education issues!

We still have a lot of homework to do in this regard!

However, I think the government can also set up nursery schools. Once a family has an accident and becomes unable to support them, they can apply for the government to support the adults on their behalf! "

There is no doubt that the role of this nursery school is not much different from that of an orphanage, but this one is easier for parents to accept emotionally!

It is estimated that as soon as the nursery school comes out, the number of people in the orphanage will be greatly reduced. At least there are many families who are poor and unable to support their children, so they are thrown directly at the entrance of the orphanage and run away!

Now this is even easier, if you are unable to support, you can also give it to the state for foster care! Anyway, they are all your children, you can come and have a look at them anytime, and you can take them back if you have the conditions!

This will undoubtedly alleviate the worries of most people, even if they can't afford it, they can have a baby, anyway, the Bulgarian government will pay for it!

By the way, the scale of scouts can be expanded. Although Bulgaria has to receive military training from elementary school, this is only auxiliary. The military training is about one month per year, and some schools may have higher levels.

But the real scouts still come from orphanages. They will be screened from an early age. Those who are suitable for joining the army will have strict military training as their main course. Enter the army.

These people are often the most courageous existence on the battlefield, and their military quality is also higher than others. They are one of the main sources of low-level officers in the Bulgarian army! (also the main force of intelligence agents and death squads)

As for whether the parents will have objections, Ferdinand said that in a country like Bulgaria, all citizens serve in the military. Even if they are not drafted into the army, they still have to participate in the annual reserve training. It is said that someone enlisted in the army, and the family members came to make trouble!

Moreover, being a soldier in this era is really the best chance for them to get rid of their fate. As long as they make enough military exploits, they will immediately become a member of the ruling class!

Even if you change jobs and return home, the government will guarantee the distribution. As long as you don't make mistakes, you will basically be guaranteed for life!

...

So after some discussion, Bulgaria's "Family Planning Law" was promulgated, and it only needs to be taken to the Congress to go through the process before it will officially come into effect.

This "Family Planning Law" regulated the protection of pregnant women in legal terms, and it was basically copied by Ferdinand for later generations!

However, the wages during maternity leave are not fully borne by the enterprise. This part of the expenditure is mainly allocated by the government, and half a year's salary is paid according to the minimum wage standard in Bulgaria. The enterprise mainly cooperates with the government's work and provides convenience for pregnant female workers.

For example, the law stipulates that enterprises with more than 100 employees must set up a special baby room for employees to take turns to take care of them, so as to provide convenience for women to take care of their children!

In order to encourage childbirth, starting from the third child, there is a material reward of 100 levs given by the state, and the figure for the fourth child becomes 200 levs; the fifth child is 400 levs; the sixth child is 800 levs...

There is no upper limit, and theoretically it is no problem to get rich by having children. The prerequisite is that all mothers and babies must be healthy and cannot die in childbirth, otherwise the money will be deducted!

Oh, fortunately, the descendants of Ferdinand saw a lot of news about super mothers, and they didn’t use a unit. Otherwise, if they encountered that kind of multiple births, the Bulgarian government might go bankrupt because of it!

Oh, Ferdinand admitted that this is a picture to encourage childbearing. In fact, it is rare to have more than ten babies. What's more, it is necessary to ensure that the baby is healthy and does not die. With this medical condition, it is almost impossible. possibly exists!

However, after the sixth child, you can get the title of hero mother. The biggest advantage of this title is that the company will provide them with full salary during pregnancy!

This has been there before, and it was created by the capitalists themselves. The main reason is that few people can get it. Of course, everyone is willing to show it off!

Of course, this time the law also stipulates that if it is because of childbirth that hurts the body, the company is obliged to change them to a more relaxed job!

To put it simply, it is to tell everyone to work hard to live, everything is covered by the government, it doesn't matter if you can't afford it, the country can do it for you!

...

The promulgation of the "Family Planning Law" made the capitalists breathe a sigh of relief at the same time. They were really afraid that the government would directly dump all these burdens on them!

Don't doubt, with the strength of the Bulgarian government, it is absolutely possible to do this! Previously, officials from the Population Administration interviewed many capitalists with a sense of social responsibility and discussed this issue with them.

Oh, this is also the negative impact of reputation. You have a sense of social responsibility. When the country needs you to take social responsibility, as long as it is within your ability, you cannot refuse, otherwise how can you be worthy of your reputation?

Well, in fact, the initial investment is not too large, and the qualified ones are no more than a hundred or two hundred thousand people every year.

Half a year's salary, and it's still paid according to the minimum wage, is only tens of millions of levs in total. Even with the subsidies, it still won't exceed 100 million levs!

With the current Bulgarian fiscal revenue, it can still be easily borne!
