Romanian Eagle

Chapter 210: Refugees (below)

   "This problem is really difficult to handle."

  Edel held the telegram from Le De Uzi and other places in his hand, and thought to himself. He had already seen that this was not an isolated smuggling incident, but a natural reaction of refugees gathered outside the border after Romania closed the border. If Romania still closes its borders as it is now, then this kind of thing will continue to happen, and the frequency will become higher and higher.

   It’s not that the government department didn’t see it, otherwise Prime Minister Bretianu would have dealt with this matter a long time ago and would not forward this telegram to Edel. It also made him underestimate the desire of these war refugees for peace and tranquility.

   To get such a terrible telegram just before Christmas, this incident also disrupted Edel's plan. Why Edel would close the border? Knowing that these refugees will cause tension on the Romanian border, but still stubbornly ordering the closing of the border, this is still related to Romania's domestic economy.

  In Edel’s prediction, this war will make Romania prosper, and it will also drive factories to absorb a large number of farmers to work in the city, which can improve industrial efficiency and, most importantly, the level of agricultural mechanized farming. After all, the agricultural population is dwindling. In the face of the current flourishing grain export trade, it is necessary to use machinery to improve the efficiency of farmers. This will allow Romanian agriculture to transform from the traditional distribution of farming alone to farmers, to the large-scale mechanized farming that Edel yearns for. This is also the point that Edel values ​​most, and it is also the key to the success of Romania's industrialization.

   However, Edel's plan is based on the shortage of people in industry and agriculture, and it can be realized. And if Romania opens its borders to allow war refugees to continue to enter, this shortage of people will be completely impossible, and these refugees who have nothing will squeeze the salary environment of Romanians, and on the contrary will make the people of the country feel resentful of these refugees. At that time, even the king himself will not be able to solve it, after all, this is a matter of the people's rice bowl.

   So Edel can only choose the two evils, temporarily close the Romanian border, and wait for the transformation of industry and agriculture to allow these refugees to enter. It's just that he didn't expect this large-scale refugee smuggling incident to cause this problem to erupt, and now he has no good way to solve it.

   "It's a headache."

  Edel thought about it again and again, but it was still difficult to make a decision. At this time, an unusual person came to Edel's office, his wife, Queen Sophie Marie.

   "Edel, I heard that refugees were smuggled on a large scale this time. I don't know what you plan to do?"

   Sophie Marie still has a newspaper in her hand, she asked with concern. Edel saw her wife's concern for these refugees.

   When Edel looked at the newspaper she was holding, she knew where she got the news. Edel secretly cursed these messy media in his heart and told his wife. "I haven't considered it yet. Don't worry, I won't be harsh on these refugees."

   After the incident happened, the domestic newspapers published it, and even the media of the two sides of the war had reported it. Except for Russia and Austria, this is not a glorious thing for them. After all, how could these news media let go of such a big thing? They are not government departments. They know that behind this incident, these refugees and people will compete for job opportunities. They all let the government consider the lives of these refugees in the same way, and they are completely standing. Speaking does not hurt back.

   Seeing that Edel did not answer directly, Sophie Marie, who had been promoted to queen, expressed her opinion. "Can Edel give these poor people some work so that they can solve their own life problems?"

   Regarding his wife's sudden request, Edel was a little surprised by his wife's reaction, so he asked. "what's happenin?"

   "I read in the newspapers that most of these people are Austro-Hungarians, and their lives in the country are ruined. I just want to help these suffering people, as it is for me, Edel."

   After hearing his wife's words, Edel finally knew the reason. Still, most of these refugees are Austro-Hungarians, and his wife Sophie Marie was moved with compassion and wanted to help the people in her home country. Perhaps in the eyes of the queen, this is only a problem of two to three thousand. She did not expect that this might be the influx of millions of refugees. The media reports this time are not so simple. There are probably some factory owners behind this.

   Looking at his wife's begging eyes, Edel quickly turned his brain to think of a way. Suddenly an idea appeared in his mind, so he told his wife. "Well Sophie Marie, I promise you this time, but..."

   Hearing what Edel hadn't finished speaking, Sophie Marie immediately put on a soft face to make up for her husband. "I see, no next time, right?"

   Seeing his wife's rapidly changing expression, Edel really stunned. Sophie Marie chuckled when she saw her husband's uncomfortable expression.

   After sending his wife away, Edel called the guard. "Go and call Prime Minister Bretianu over and say that I want to adjust the refugee policy."

   "Good Majesty."

   After Edel gave orders to the guards, he began to perfect the thoughts in his mind. He now faces many questions that he can't solve for the time being, and he will think about the situation in his previous life for reference. This also makes Romania now have a strong celestial style of later generations. But who made him come from there? If he comes from the lighthouse country of later generations, then it is estimated that Romania will have the taste of a democratic lighthouse.

   Maybe I shouldn't shut out these refugees across the board. I can first select the talents that Romania urgently needs to supplement domestic development. As for the remaining refugees, didn't the queen say to give them a bite of food? Then Romania's infrastructure construction needs them. As for wages, they are settled in accordance with the current Romanian minimum wage standards. If anyone doesn't want to do it, then throw it out. Some refugees want to live in a peaceful environment.

   As for the factory owners who are behind the scenes, even a refugee worker will not get it. They still need to use domestic workers to produce materials that are urgently needed in various countries. As for whether this will have an impact on the environment of Romanian domestic workers, Edel can only say that this has been reduced to a minimum. Refugee workers are now arranged to repair railways, highways, bridges, docks and other infrastructure, and wages have also been reduced to the lowest level. If this is not satisfactory, then he really has no choice. If anyone in the country is willing to work as infrastructure labor for 90 lei per month, he has no opinion.

   After Edel perfected his ideas, Prime Minister Bretianu also rushed to him.

   "Your Majesty, how do you plan to modify the refugee measures now?"

   Facing the Prime Minister’s inquiry, Edel told his own way. "I plan to select the engineers, professors, doctors, etc. that Romania needs most now. As for the remaining refugees, you can let them build infrastructure for Romania. You can set the level of treatment at an economic point. After all, we need to spend too much money. Too much, not too much funds for infrastructure construction. UU看书www.uukanshu.com"

   Prime Minister Bretianu heard Edel's words and knew what to do, and he continued to ask a question that might arise. "What if these refugees want to be naturalized?"

   Edel replied without thinking about it. "Except for the talents we urgently need, all others are given a three-year inspection period. During this period, violations of laws and regulations will not be considered."

   Edel discussed with the Prime Minister the various problems that may arise in the introduction of refugees, and they all dealt with them one by one. The purpose is one sentence, stay if you are willing to accept it, and don't come if you don't.

   After getting the answer from the king, the prime minister returned to the government and immediately came up with a new refugee management method. In the new method, the government will decide how many refugees to admit each year. The talents that Romania urgently needs will no longer be regarded as refugees and will be resettled in accordance with the new talent introduction bill. As for the other refugees who do not belong to, they will be uniformly arranged to work, basically all kinds of Romanian infrastructure construction. Refugees who do not accept the arrangement will be expelled by the government, and they will no longer accept refugee applications from these people.

   With the introduction of the new method, except for a small number of refugees who are unwilling to be deported, the vast majority of refugees have chosen to accept it. Among them, the people who belong to the talent introduction bill are the happiest. They will receive a salary that meets their abilities according to the salary of the industry in Romania. As for the others, they can only guarantee a monthly salary of 90 lei, but even this can guarantee the needs of their family, which is much better than the precariousness of war. Refugees waiting at the border need to apply for Romania to give refugee quotas every year, which also reduces the pressure on border police such as Bruno.
