Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 41, the end of an era

In May 191o, Ferdinand had just completed his inspection of the Rose Garden. At this time, Bulgaria has formed an industrial chain with an annual output value of 1.6 billion levs (64 million pounds) around roses.

With 470,000 workers in supporting industries and contributing nearly 100 million levs in taxes to Bulgaria's finances every year, the rose industry has become one of the pillar industries of Bulgaria's economy!

The direct products mainly include dried flower buds, dried petals, dried flowers, pickled products, sugar roses, rose sauce, rose dew, rose drinks, rose wine, rose extract, rose essential oil, etc.

Rose products are widely used in the catering industry, cosmetics industry, and pharmaceutical industry.

Such as: jelly, toilet water, lotion, cream, balm, body lotion, toner, mask, facial cleanser, lotion (shampoo), lotion, conditioner, soap, milk, glue, mousse, dye, cold perm The main ingredient or additive of talcum powder, prickly heat powder, drama oil paint, etc.

Including high-end cigarettes, rose essential oil is often used as an additive!

After all, in this era, there are no artificial essences and spices, and no other large-scale production areas compete with Bulgaria. The demand for rose essential oil in the market is also increasing day by day!

Seeing this, Ferdinand felt proud. Now the scale of Bulgaria's rose industry chain has surpassed that of later generations.

Even many rose drinks and rose wine that did not become popular in later generations are now spread.

Rose soda is now an indispensable drink in the life of Bulgarians, and it is also the most sold drink on the European continent!

After all, in this day and age, there is no strong competitor yet, unlike the rose drink in the later generations, which was suppressed by interest groups just after it came out, and the market was immediately flooded with a large number of counterfeit products, which hurt the reputation and could not spread!

In fact, there are many rose wines in later generations, but because of the cost, most of them are only used as additives, such as Yanjing Beer.

But this time is different. The production cost of roses is much lower than that of later generations, so rose beer was born. Of course, it is not brewed with rose essential oil, but directly uses rose petals.

It was welcomed by the market as soon as it was born, and even in order to expand the Russian market, Bulgaria also released high-strength rose wine.

Simply put, vodka brewed from roses is added to enhance the taste.

In fact, these are useful in this era. In later generations, with the advancement of industrial technology and the birth of artificial fragrances, the rose industry will be hit hard!

But these have nothing to do with Ferdinand, at least in the next few decades, this situation will not happen.

Even if the baby is born in the future, everyone is used to using rose products, so it’s a big deal to promote the advantages of the original ecological products!

Anyway, even in the 21st century, the harm of chemical products to the human body still exists, and the use of original ecological products is far from reassuring.

Oh, what made Ferdinand even more happy was that his fifth baby was about to be born.

Since she has given birth to four children before, Xenia already has a lot of experience. Even if the child is about to be born, she can still laugh with Ferdinand without the nervousness of the past.

Of course, the doctor is still on call 24 hours a day. Anyway, Ferdinand has enough personal doctors to work in shifts.

"Honey, do you know? Poor Alexei is sick again, and Nikolay is really unlucky. His only son actually contracted a terrible bleeding disease!" Queen Xenia complained endlessly.

Ferdinand nodded. He had heard these words countless times, and he could only lament that pregnant women are always prone to sentimentality.

"Don't worry, my dear. Aren't our children all healthy? Look, Ferdinand can withstand guns, and he will be a strong soldier when he grows up. Even Caesar is as skinny as a monkey now, everywhere Jumping up and down, what is there to worry about?" Ferdinand half-jokingly

Queen Xenia was also amused by Ferdinand's joke,

Puchi laughed, pretending to be angry: "Then you have such a son of your own!"

Ferdinand laughed and covered up the past. I thought I couldn’t give you the popular science directly, the root cause of hemorrhagic diseases, right? (ie: hemophilia)

In this day and age, besides him, who knows what a hemorrhagic disease is? If you tell her that the source of this disease comes from Queen Victoria, women are carriers of hemorrhagic disease, and they are all sequelae of inbreeding marriages!

If it gets out, Edward won't fight him desperately? Princesses of the British royal family, do you still want to get married? Anyway, it's other people's families who are the scourge, and it doesn't matter what his business is, why bother?

As for secrecy? how can that be possible? Why is Xenia also from the Russian royal family, and the relationship with Nicholas II is not bad, how can it be impossible to watch her brother being cheated?

Does Nicholas II still lack an heir now? As for whether Alexei can grow up, it is a big question mark. Even if he can grow up, he probably won't live long, and he will probably be ahead of Nicholas II!

"You, what's the matter with the bleeding disease, how can it be cured? Why does it always appear in the royal family? Is this really a royal disease from the outside world? Or is it God's dissatisfaction with the royal family, and the punishment that came down?" Xenia finished looking forward to ferdinand

Ferdinand is suffering now. He was not a doctor in his previous life. Who would care about the treatment of hemophilia when he is full and has nothing to do?

Looking at Xenia's expectant eyes, Ferdinand thought for a while: "Honey, I can't do anything about this problem, since hemorrhagic disease is hemorrhage, then naturally we need to replenish blood!

I think poor Alexei can eat more blood-enriching food and exercise more, it should have some effect!

Hemorrhagic disease is definitely not a royal disease. In fact, the folks also have this disease, but it is relatively rare, and they do not receive as much attention as the royal family, so they are misunderstood by the outside world as a royal disease!

As for the punishment from God? That's even more impossible! To know that children are innocent, what did they do wrong? Need God to punish? You must know that God will never wrong people, and if he wants to punish, he will only punish sinners! "

"Oh, then remember to send a telegram to Nicholas, Alexei is really pitiful! May God bless him!" Xenia said seriously

Regardless of whether Ferdinand was true or false, Xenia directly chose to believe it. Ferdinand felt that the phrase "one pregnancy is stupid for three years" is very reasonable, as you can see from Xenia, giving birth one after another, the IQ seems to be lowered a lot.

...

Well, Ferdinand actually didn’t know if it was useful or not. Anyway, it was all nonsense, and it was in line with medical principles. Even if it couldn’t cure the disease, it wouldn’t be worse!

While Ferdinand and his wife were chatting, an attendant rushed over: "Your Majesty, the British royal family has just received a telegram, and the respected King Edward VII has passed away today!"

Ferdinand's face changed drastically. It was obvious that Edward VII's death made him very sad. After all, in his position, wanting a true friend is a very extravagant thing!

After all, he had experienced strong winds and waves, and Ferdinand quickly realized that he knew that there were still many things that he needed to deal with.

The death of Edward VII marked the end of the Victorian era. Britain's domestic and foreign affairs may undergo earth-shaking changes, and Bulgaria also needs to take countermeasures in advance.

Anyway, Ferdinand didn’t think that his successor, George V, could have Edward’s skills to suppress the big political groups in the country. Otherwise, in 1917, the British royal family would not have been forced to abandon the Saxe-Coburg dynasty and change their surname to Windsor!

This matter is not as simple as later generations, which marks the decline of the British royal family's rights! A king was forced to change his surname, isn't that popular support?

In Ferdinand's view, this is undoubtedly a very shameful thing for a king. After all, even ordinary people are not willing to change their surnames easily. For nobles, giving up their original surnames is equivalent to giving up the glory of the family!

Of course, it is not ruled out that because of the factors of the world war, George V hopes that the British Empire can work together to deal with the Germans, and he does not want to intensify domestic conflicts, so he made a compromise!

...

But at least in Bulgaria, no one has dared to ask Ferdinand to change his surname. It is estimated that if anyone brings it up, he will not see the sun tomorrow!

It's not because he thinks too much about the honor of the family. The key is face. As a king, you must not lose face. This will damage his authority as a monarch!

Of course, this surname also represents a huge interest group behind. Ferdinand is the king of Bulgaria who was mixed with this surname, and it is one of the sources of the legitimacy of his throne!

...

"Sorry, my dear, I have to leave for a while, and I probably won't be able to see our baby born!" Ferdinand looked at Queen Xenia very apologetically.

"It's okay, go get busy! This is your responsibility, but unfortunately I can't accompany you on this trip to London!" Xenia smiled

Xenia was very free and easy in this regard, it may be because of her background, she has seen this kind of thing a lot, and she never caused trouble for Ferdinand.
