Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 4, Trivial 2

Some people think that among a bunch of foreign names, a Chinese name is very abrupt. Sorry, I didn't find it before, but now all of them have been revised. Thanks for your valuable comments! If you find any mistakes, please report them, and I will correct them immediately!

Ferdinand has always done what he says. Since he plans to build a grain processing factory, he will start preparing now.

In his own territory, he mainly grows wheat, barley, sugar beets, potatoes, flax, etc. The animal husbandry mainly focuses on raising pigs and cattle.

Then the benefits can be maximized by supporting processing. The flour mill is the first choice; the second is the sugar mill; oh, potatoes are good for making French fries, and they can be kept; flax, do you need to open a weaving factory? Garment factories, take the time and put them aside; slaughterhouses are available without much investment; do you want to…

The more he thinks about it, the more Ferdinand can say proudly if all are realized: food, clothing, housing and transportation, all self-sufficiency, and the ultimate pursuit of the feudal landlords has all been achieved.

Opening a factory is not that simple. Who told his father to die early, his family's industries are basically conservative investments, and the proper aristocratic class has not had time to overdo the capitalists.

So start with yourself, the combination of big aristocrats and big capitalists, the mainstream of today's society.

It's a bit of trouble for Ferdinand right now. Although he has also invested in some factories, he is not dominated by himself, and the talent pool must be left behind.

"Butler Karl, you sent someone to investigate the situation of the flour processing factory near Vienna!" Ferdinand finally decided to start with the flour processing factory.

"Okay, Your Highness, I'll do it right away!" Karl Chekov replied politely.

Ferdinand became more and more comfortable with his aristocratic status, unlike when he first arrived, he liked to do everything by himself. For example, asking the maid to help him get dressed, stretch out his hand for clothes, and open his mouth for food, that is his current life.

Ferdinand planned to report to the city guards, except for the first few days of crossing, when he commuted to get off work on time every day, he has been a miner until now.

Although no one asked, he still felt that it was too inappropriate to find such a good job.

You must know that the nobles in the German region have a tradition of joining the army. If you don’t join the army, you will be looked down upon, and you will be considered a coward. At that time, it will be difficult to even find a daughter-in-law who is the right match!

The Ferdinand family was also a nobleman in the German region, and naturally kept this tradition.

However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is corrupt, and there are not a few officers who want to eat and die like Ferdinand.

There was nothing the old emperor could do. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army and prevent them from bringing others down, he simply threw them into the city guard army.

Of course, if you are willing to endure hardship, you can also fall over. The original Ferdinand had always disliked these stubborn children, and did not intend to join forces with them, and there were not many friends in it.

Entering the City Guard Building, a rotten smell came to my face, just like in my memory, a dilapidated and unsightly office building that looked crumbling.

"This is too bad! No wonder no one comes to work. In this environment, the ghosts are willing to come, and I don't know how the original owner persisted!" Ferdinand secretly snorted.

Along the way, except for a few lazy guards on duty, Ferdinand never found anyone else.

I found my own office, a small room of less than 20 square meters, with a small wooden table, a chair, a teacup, and a stack of expired newspapers. This is all the belongings in the original main office.

There was already a thick layer of dust in the house, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time. Ferdinand looked around, and finally gave up the idea of ​​cleaning it himself.

Go straight back the same way, not even an officer, and report a fart. He was disappointed by the line of the City Guards. With such an army, it was no wonder that Mao Xiong could not tell the difference between east, west, north and west.

Ferdinand also knew that this was just a part of it. It was specially prepared for them, with no training and no mission. Other armies may still have some combat effectiveness, and they are also the five major powers in Europe.

But thinking about the chaotic peoples of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ferdinand shook his head. The old emperor needs to be able to speak the languages ​​of eight countries, which is scary to think about.

"Then how should the army be commanded? If the army is formed by each ethnic group, the country will easily be divided; if it is broken up and mixed up, to ensure its combat effectiveness, then the commander must first learn the languages ​​of other ethnic groups. Where are you going? Find a group of scholars."

"This is also the root cause of the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire! Unless we cut the mess now and unify the language and culture, even if there is no war, this country will not exist for long!" Ferdinand thought to himself.

I have made up my mind to pay attention to it, and I should take it as a warning. The ethnic issue in the Balkans is not much better than that of Austria-Hungary. The only advantage may be that there are fewer people! When a small population has become an advantage, I am happy to think about Ferdinand.

Walking on the streets of Vienna, Ferdinand was still not used to it. Compared with later generations, Vienna is just as prosperous now, but unfortunately it is not as clean and tidy, and many places are smelly!

You can't change the world, so just adapt to the world! Now Ferdinand is a good example.

Before he knew it, he was about to reach the door of Volvo, and Ferdinand stopped to watch. Looking at the chaotic crowds coming in and out, big bags and small bags, people talking and laughing, and returning home full of rewards.

Satisfied, Ferdinand strode towards Volvo and slapped the security guard at the door to signal them not to move.

Then he entered the supermarket. The service staff were busy working. Seeing that Ferdinand came in and was about to come over, he hurriedly motioned them to continue.

It was a little chaotic inside, many goods were messed up, the service staff were busy restoring, and there was a lot of garbage on the ground, Ferdinand frowned and stretched out again.

On the whole, he is still satisfied. Everyone performs their duties, and the work is also dedicated, and the business is booming.

However, it may be due to the limitations of the times, they did not take into account the importance of hygiene and the comfort of customers shopping.

Of course, in the 19th century, people may have gotten used to it. Vienna is smelly, and the streets are full of garbage, so there are no such high requirements for hygiene.

Ferdinand still found Ferranz, not only expressing his affirmation of his work, but also making demands on environmental sanitation.

Ferdinand would rather increase the cost now, but also retain customers. After all, one side is clean and tidy, and the other side is cluttered, which makes it easy for people to choose.

This era is the most comfortable era for the capitalists. Workers can be allowed to work overtime at will, there is no future trade union, and there is no threat from the Soviets.

The labor cost in Ferdinand's mind has not increased, but the service staff has another job of cleaning at any time.

Protests, demonstrations, strikes, demands for wage increases, etc., the nouns that Ferdinand remembered deeply, did not appear.
