Edel's worries did not come to pass. The annoying little boy did not cause uproar in the palace, but it was not much better.
For Victor, the six months when the Edels visited abroad were simply the happiest time in his life. Only Queen Elizabeth in the palace could control him, and other than that, everyone else could only be fooled by him.
Climbing trees, catching birds, going down rivers and catching fish is nothing. Catching earthworms and putting them in someone else's bed, or scaring little girls (sisters) with caterpillars, that's real happiness.
But unfortunately, his happiness ended.
In his sister's gloating eyes, Edel, who learned about his son's great achievements, grabbed Victor who was trying to escape and slapped him on the butt. As for his mother, Queen Mary, she was also moved by her son's lawlessness during this period, and she was very concerned about it.
Edel's punishment was also acquiescing.
After being hurt by his father, he also hoped that his savior, Queen Elizabeth, would appear. Perhaps he was annoyed by his mischief during this period, but the savior failed to come, which made him deeply bear the overwhelming love of his father.
After Edel's violence was over, Victor sadly escaped from the clutches of the devil. It can be seen from his smart eyes that he was still a little scared that this punishment could calm him down for a while.
Edel had a conversation with the captain of the guard Horia after teaching him a lesson, while Victor asked him to reflect deeply on his actions during this period.
Victor, who was ignored, was looking around boredly. He noticed that the guard, Little Monard, had a relieved expression. Just wait, next time you don't put earthworms in his bed, you will put a snake in it.
Poor little Monar is obsessed with the little devil.
"Horia, how is the development of the royal family's industry recently?"
Edel is now concerned about his money.
"Your Majesty, the various industries of the royal family have developed very well during your absence. After deducting the funds that have been invested in various industries, there are still 13 million lei in the books. Your Majesty, do you want to use the money?
?”
"I don't plan to use it at the moment. I just want to prepare it in advance. I will inform you when the time comes."
"Okay, Your Majesty."
After talking to the captain of the bodyguard, Edel finally calmed down. But there will be many things waiting for him to deal with. After all, although the prime minister and others have been abroad for half a year to deal with it, there are still many things at home waiting for him to make a decision, and he
After the visit, many Romanian domestic issues have new ideas and they need to discuss it with their ministers.
The next day, in the conference room of the palace, Edel summoned his important ministers to discuss the recent problems.
"Your Majesty, the country is currently very dissatisfied with the increasing number of migrant workers. Many public opinions have called for greater control of migrant workers. There have even been demonstrations in cities such as Galati and Constanta, demanding that the government drive these people out.
Romania.”
As Home Secretary, Sylvester was the first to speak out about what the government is most concerned about.
While Edel was waiting for questions, Baldovin, as the Minister of Industry, objected. "If these people are driven out of the country, what will happen to the jobs these people have left? You must know that these are nearly a million jobs.
Many of them are hard and tiring jobs that people in China are unwilling to do at present. For example, pipe dredging and river excavation are hard, tiring and low-paying jobs. Who should leave them to? As far as I know, there are not many foreigners in these jobs.
people."
As if knowing that Baldoven would stand up to object, Sylvester said sarcastically.
"The work of these outsiders is more than just hard work. Doctors and lawyers, these jobs are neither hard nor tiring at all. We know that according to our understanding, 9.17% of doctors are from abroad, and 6.17% of lawyers are from abroad.
They are not Chinese, let alone foreigners, who account for 11.5% of industrial workers. The jobs in our country need to satisfy our own people more, rather than providing them to neighboring countries. Let them make money in our country, and then take it back to the country for consumption.
"
"You shouldn't just see them making money, but you should see how these people contribute to our country's economic development. Besides, these people only take away a small part of the profits, and more of the profits are kept in the country, which is very important to our country."
It’s a good thing.”
"But the existence of these people has depressed the treatment of domestic workers. As can be seen from the several demonstrations that broke out in the country, when society is dissatisfied with reality, there will be huge hidden dangers. We cannot only focus on the issue of entrepreneurs making money. Also
We need to take care of ordinary citizens.”
During the confrontational conversation between the two, Edel did not expect that there would be such a large number of foreign workers in the country, nor did he expect that the domestic people's current problems with foreign workers were so acute.
But Edel asked a sensitive question. "Did these marchers have any conflicts with the government?"
"No, they all marched peacefully."
Fortunately, the public has not turned their questions to the government so far. However, Sylvester's next words made Edel more vigilant.
"However, since the beginning of this year, there have been 348 conflicts between domestic people and migrant workers due to work issues, which is 41% higher than last year."
This sentence caught Edel's attention.
"Why are there so many?"
"The main reason is that Bulgaria's economy is not improving, and many Bulgarians have come to work in the country to make money. This has attracted a larger number of Bulgarians to flock to the country to look for jobs."
From Sylvester's narration, Edel learned that this was because of the economic downturn in Bulgaria, which forced Bulgarian citizens to go out to work. However, the Romanian economy around him was developing rapidly, which naturally attracted a large number of Bulgarians to look for jobs.
.And these Bulgarians who are scared of poverty can do any job as long as they are given money, which in turn makes the needy people in the country dissatisfied.
There is no need for anyone to provoke the Bulgarians who compete with them for job opportunities. They look hateful in the eyes of the domestic people. This is because they have made their wish for a salary increase come to naught. No one wants their wallets to be damaged, so it’s strange that they can’t afford a conflict.
In fact, there is another reason for the large influx of Bulgarians into Romania, and that is that it is easier for Bulgarians to enter Romania. This is due to the Bucharest Treaty signed between Romania and Bulgaria before the war. In this treaty, Romania in order to take care of or appease the newly occupied people.
Bulgarians in Varna and other places allow their relatives to visit freely.
This loophole was not remedied in subsequent treaties with Bulgaria. On the one hand, it was because of the feelings of these Bulgarians in Romania, and on the other hand, Edel still had ideas about Bulgaria. It was just a matter of using the relatives of these Bulgarians to promote Romania.
Prosperity reduces obstacles to his future ambitions.
Soon some people took advantage of this loophole and left Bulgaria, where the economy was not improving, to work in Romania. Soon this trend spread to the entire Bulgaria, making working in Romania a very common phenomenon in the country. According to statistics, currently in Romania
There are about 500,000 working Bulgarians, accounting for 10% of the country's population.
The Bulgarian government also turns a blind eye to the large-scale migrant workers. Who makes the domestic economy bad? If these people are not allowed to migrant work, will they be dissatisfied at home?
Sylvester's story made it difficult for Edel to deal with it. These migrant workers had already caused conflicts with the people of the country. However, deporting them was not in line with Edel's own ideas. There must be a solution.
