Gu Hanhan was okay, but Zheng Wenwen was messy when she heard the auditor's words, and interjected and asked: "Is your slave certificate elective?" That means that slaves can choose not to be human beings?"

"A slave in the production and sales chain cannot be regarded as a 'person' in the first place, otherwise what would you do with the slave ranch, logistics and transportation, and sales company? The entire slave trade industry would not be able to continue. The examiner was visibly impatient, "Is there any problem?' 'Slaves, as soon as they are bought and enslaved by their owners, begin to have the characteristics of natural persons, and enjoy the rights and duties of natural persons according to law', which is clearly stipulated in the Universal Slave Law. The universe is so big, there must always be a form to explain the identity of slaves, and this certificate issued by the United Nations Slavery Agency is also for the convenience of your buyers. If you are willing to spend a few cosmic coins to make it convenient for you in the future, then you can't do it if you really don't want to spend this money, no one will force you. There are still a lot of people who find it troublesome or can't remember to register the slave trade, isn't it the same - I said, you two young ladies didn't come to us to investigate, did you?"

"No, of course not," Gu Hanhan hurriedly pressed Zheng Wenwen and explained, "The two of us are just curious, the first time we bought slaves by ourselves, and the first time we came to □□ by ourselves." You know, we don't allow slaves on Earth. ”

At this time, Lichun's physical examination was also over. The aura disappeared, and Gu Hanhan saw that the inspection results automatically appeared on the application form in the auditor's hand. Not only the real-time status data such as height and weight are filled in the form, but the information already on the original form, such as gender, age, genetic number, etc., is also checked one by one, indicating that the test results are checked with the records. The auditor casually browsed through it, stamped it, and threw out an identification card, a slave trade record, and a receipt for payment.

"That's it. "The identification card can be used □□ slave's ring, and if it is lost or damaged, it can be replaced with a transaction filing form." The filing form and □□ should be collected by yourself, and the loss will not be replaced. Then call the next number.

Gu Hanhan took these in his hand: "I would like to ask, if the slaves are released and given free status, where will the procedures be handled? Is it troublesome, can you get your identity documents on the spot just like filing a record?"

As a window worker who has to receive 1,800 people a day, the auditor can no longer have a good face for this kind of nonsense endless customers, she waved her hand and said, "Let the slave go up to the third floor and ask." Passport and ID card you should go to whichever embassy you want, go to whichever institution you want to go to, our slave agency only takes care of the slave trade and does not do this. ”

With that, she picked up a newly generated application form and shouted, "Next, next, here." ”

The next one was waiting at the door early, just because Gu Hanhan and his party hadn't come out yet, so it was inconvenient to come in. At this time, when he heard the auditor calling, he immediately pushed the door in, squeezed in between Gu Hanhan and Zheng Wenwen and sat on the bench, and the five slaves he brought lined up at the footprints in order.

Gu Hanhan had no choice but to withdraw in disgust, because he had just been dumped, standing at the door, he was a little hesitant about whether to go up to the third floor to personally consult about releasing slaves.

"Miss......" Lichun shouted cautiously as she caught up.

"Oh, Ms. Lichun, I haven't given you your documents yet. Gu Hanhan saw her, nodded, and picked up the identification card, which has the style of a ready-made standard ID card, with a three-dimensional portrait of Lichun in the center at the top, and several pieces of identity information such as name, gender, age, nationality and slave record number below. Gu Hanhan noticed that in terms of nationality, Lichun's slave certificate indicated that her nationality was "Free Star Alliance".

"Because we are earthlings, and the laws of the earth do not recognize slaves, the nationality on the document has to be the 'Free Star Alliance'. Gu Hanhan still remembered that when he signed Anthony's purchase contract in the earth's sky orbit, it was also because of the special laws of the earth, so he could only register as a stateless person, so he casually explained to Zheng Wenwen and Lichun, and then handed the identification card to Lichun.

"Yes, Miss. Lichun respectfully put the identification card into her slave bracelet. Then he looked at Gu Hanhan's expression and said boldly: "Actually, not only the earth, but most of the slaves who are not registered as masters and nationalities choose the Free Star Alliance. ”

"Not all slaves who can be registered as masters are registered as masters, miss. "Although the priority of slavery over the owner is the first principle of slave registration, in practice this is not the case. Many masters, for a variety of reasons, are reluctant to register their slaves as their own nationality, preferring instead to register them as the Covenant of Freedom. The main reason should be said to be political, many countries dignitaries and wealthy people, they do not like to register their slaves as their own nationality. Because registering as a citizen of this country is subject to the restrictions of the laws of the country, it may be inconvenient for them. So they registered their slaves as stateless as possible. Where it was possible to put slaves in their own name, they put them directly in their own name. When conditions do not permit or domestic law does not permit it, they would rather find an agent and put the slave in the name of the agent, or simply do not even file the record, and only make up for it when it is necessary to file and register. It's no exaggeration to say that at least two-thirds of the slave trade in the universe is undocumented. ”

"Oh, that's funny. Gu Hanhan was interested, "So are there any other reasons?"

"Then there is the purpose of tax evasion. Li Chun was greatly encouraged, and the dimples on both sides of her cheeks were exposed again, "The current system of management of the dual slave trade is that each slave traded must not only pay stamp duty to the General Administration of Slaves, but also pay a slave tax to the country to which he belongs in accordance with his domestic law. These taxes were borne by the party who purchased the slaves and were paid at the time of filing the slave trade. If you don't file a record, of course, you won't pay taxes, and if you don't register your nationality, you can skip or pay less slave tax. Miss, the registration fee of 30 cosmic coins you paid before, the cost of production may add up to less than 5 yuan, and at least 25 of it is stamp duty to the Slave Trade Administration. And if you are not an earthling, and my nationality is registered as any other sovereign state that is not part of the Free Planets Alliance, you will have to pay a few more dollars, or hundreds of slave taxes. ”

According to what Lichun said, Gu Hanhan took out the receipt that the auditor handed over to her along with the filing form, and when she opened it, she saw that the details were listed on it. It shows that the fees of the 30 cosmic coins paid by Gu Hanhan include a total of 1 cosmic coin for the service fee, 15 cosmic coins for the registration fee, 25 cosmic coins for the production cost of the identification card, 5 cosmic coins for the registration fee of the slave certificate, and 20 cosmic coins for the filing fee, the last two should be the stamp duty collected by the United Nations Slave Trade Agency as mentioned by Lichun. Under them, it is also stated that the slave tax and handling fee to be paid are zero

So Gu Hanhan asked Lichun: "What does the dual slave trade management mean? The slave trade is under the dual management of the country and the United Nations Slave Agency, so there is double taxation?"

"Yes, miss, that's pretty much what it means. "This is a system that originated from the United Nations General Agreement on the Slave Trade, and countries that joined the General Agreement on the Slave Trade were free to trade slaves with each other, and countries that did not join could not trade slaves on a cosmic scale." The United Nations will set up a slave trade bureau in Beacon Star, and jointly set up slave trade sub-bureaus and supervisory committees with various sovereign countries or regions. The slave trade in sovereign states is an internal affair of the state and is regulated by its own government. The slave trade between different sovereign states in the universe is governed by the United Nations Slave Trade Administration and its local branches. For all countries that have joined the agreement, the filing of the slave trade and the handling of relevant documents should be unified on the system platform of the United Nations Trade Programme, and slaves who are not registered on the platform shall not be allowed to trade in the universe. The Slave Trade Agency is obliged to provide the Member States with a copy of the information on the registered slaves of that nationality and to transfer the various slave taxes collected on a regular basis. Trading companies and markets engaged in the cosmic slave trade shall be approved by the United Nations Slave Trade Administration in accordance with regulations, and shall be approved by the United Nations Slave Trade Administration to issue licenses and pay registration fees and management fees, and shall be established with the approval of the local government and shall pay business taxes and security fees to the local government in accordance with the laws of that country. Slave trading vessels were required to pay a toll to the United Nations Slave Trade Agency on the basis of the number of slaves trafficked when they crossed the spaceways, and customs duties were paid in accordance with local laws when entering the customs of various countries. It can be said that it is ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes, and it is not easy to do the slave trade, but it is still a million profits, a slave trade license, and it is often worth a fortune. ”

"yes, a book of profits. Gu Hanhan sighed, so he continued to open the record form to see Lichun.

There are already several records on the filing form that Lichun was filed for her by an elderly man when she was eleven years old, and that the registered source of slaves was "domestic", but she was immediately sold to a slave trading house. Four years later, at the age of fifteen, she was transferred from the sales house to the Green Meadows Slave Ranch. More than two years later, on the eve of her turning eighteen, her ownership was transferred to the Cosmic Wind Slave Trading Company, and until today, she was sold to Gu Hanhan, an Earth student.

"You have quite a lot of experience," Gu Hanhan said after reading it, "but it's also very simple, after being sold from home, you have been transferred back and forth between various slave companies, haven't you?

Gu Hanhan felt quite incredible, a domestic slave like Lichun was only eleven years old when she was sold into the slave market as a child slave, and there was no reason for the slave traders not to hurry up and sell her to the slave ship of the superpower family when she was twelve years old and worth a high price.

But Lichun said, "No, miss, I was not a domestic slave at all. The man who first registered me was not a slave owner at all, but just an intermediary, or an intermediary, a white glove in the slave trade. ”
