Gu Hanhan thought of the homeless people he saw in Kinmen Star who were standing in the garbage dump and turning vegetables and leaves for a living, scrambling to die for the settlement fee of 2,000 cosmic coins, and for a moment he really felt that Ms. Lichun's words were very correct. Then she knocked on her head and quickly suppressed this unbelievable thought.

"What, the root cause of this kind of thing is obviously that there is something wrong with the system of the Slave Agency, how can it be crooked to the humanitarian level. She said, "Freedom and abandonment are obviously two different things! Although we may not be able to change the law and have no problem with the system of the Exchange and Exchange Office, we must always find the right path and direction first, and we cannot just turn into it!"

Lichun's lips moved, and there was a vague embarrassment in her expression.

"But...... But......," she said hesitantly, "but miss, even if the system of the slave office is fine, and the certificate of freedom can be obtained immediately, the slave who has lost his owner will still be reduced to exile! ”

"What?" Gu Hanhan frowned, she didn't understand Lichun's words.

That is to say, whether a freed slave can become a citizen of a country requires not only that he is first and foremost a free person, and that he cannot have a master who owns his rights, but also depends on the laws of the country to which he belongs. The cosmic law stipulates that the slave is enslaved from the country, and then he is released from the population of the country to which he belongs. But what class he belongs to in the country, whether he is a citizen or not, depends on what the laws of the country have, and whether the freed slave himself can meet the requirements of a citizen. ”

Gu Hanhan was even more incomprehensible: "What are the other conditions needed to become a citizen? Since you are a person from this country and not a slave, shouldn't you automatically become a citizen?"

"In fact, it is needed. "A citizen of a country is a citizen because he is born with the right to live in that country as a citizen." To put it simply, it is the right to enjoy the territory, public resources and various social benefits of the country free of charge. But slaves are not born with these rights. A slave, when he is still a slave, is supported by his master, and everything he enjoys is given and paid for by his master, and does not infringe on the social resources and public welfare of the whole country. Now when this slave is not a slave, if the law allows him to become a citizen without doing anything, it is actually equivalent to squeezing out the resources of the country that belong to other citizens and enjoying all kinds of benefits in vain. This is certainly not reasonable and impossible. ”

"Therefore, in order to be fair to the whole country and society, almost all countries have similar regulations, requiring free slaves to pay a certain amount of social resource compensation tax before they can become citizens of this country - or there will be many forms of expression, such as how many years of continuous taxation, how much real estate purchased, how many years of mastery of a certain skill, or how many years of service in some special position, etc., not necessarily direct payment, but in the final analysis, it is a social resource compensation tax. ”

"A slave who has lost his owner, usually has no longevity, no other specialty, nothing but freedom, and if their former masters are willing to pay this social resource compensation tax for them, it is fine, if they are not, then there is almost no possibility that they can afford it on their own. They are not slaves, they are free people, but they are not citizens, they do not enjoy citizenship, and all the benefits and benefits of the state have nothing to do with them. Thus, apart from the slaves and citizens, a de facto class of untouchables was formed. It is likely that they do not have the right to education, and their children and grandchildren will not have the right to education, and they are untouchables at birth. You can only work in certain industries, and it is difficult to guarantee remuneration and even personal safety. Because until they meet the conditions to become citizens, it is very likely that they themselves will not be subject to any domestic law, including property law, and therefore cannot be protected by law. For the untouched class, if becoming a citizen is hopeless, then the best way out is probably to become a homeless. At least the universe applies human rights law, which applies to all free people. ”

Gu Hanhan nodded: "Then it means that there is no problem with registering as a slave of the Free Star Alliance." ”

"Miss," Lichun couldn't help but smile, "the Freedom Star Alliance is equal for everyone, and will not charge a resource compensation tax for free slaves. But first of all, they have to survive the universe. There has never been such a thing as state welfare and social assistance in the Liberty Star Alliance, and a freed slave who has no property and no special skills, and who comes to the galaxy with a stripe, has no chance of composing a counterattack galactic legend. Not one in a million, miss. If a Covenant slave without any nationality loses his master, it usually means only one thing, that is, they don't have to flee from the country or planet, and they can skip the Dalit stage and become a wanderer. ”

For a while, Gu Hanhan was speechless, unable to find any reason to refute this so-called "social compensation" tax, and he didn't know how to evaluate the "untouchables" and homeless people who widely exist in the universe. After being silent for a long time, she asked: "Okay, how many slaves do you generally have to pay for this social resource compensation tax, I mean the freedmen who liberated slaves, about the level of high school graduates, and the age - the age is about that of high school graduates." “

"I can't tell, miss," Lichun's voice sounded a little fussy and kicked her nose in the face, "There are tens of thousands of countries in the universe that can be named, and the laws of each country are different. Probably some countries are poor, some countries are rich, and the poor countries will collect more, and the rich countries will collect less. Some countries are short of people, some countries are still overpopulated, and there are more preferential treatments for those who lack population, and those who are not bad have to be harsher if they want to become naturalized citizens. Anyway, more or less, you have to collect it. “

Gu Hanhan was used to being looked down upon by the outstanding subordinates of Xuefu Wuche and the capable Niu X slaves, but he didn't care, he waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the cheap one first, the discount is the largest." ”

"If you want to say the easiest, the first one is to push the Mars Empire. Mars is worthy of being the number one power in the galaxy, and national strength is prosperity. Regardless of whether they were exiles or freedmen, as long as they were able to work and meet the grading standards, they only needed to work for a certain number of years for the Mars Empire to be allowed to become citizens of the Empire. Those who reach the first level can even directly obtain the status of temporary citizens of the Empire, and then they do not need to be assigned by Mars, they only need to work in the recommended industry, and they can become official citizens of the Empire if they have been unemployed for no more than three months within three years and have no criminal record. Well, according to Mars's classification, people who are in good health at the age of sixteen or seventeen at high school level belong to four categories, and are required to work for the state for five to eight years according to the imperial assignment in order to obtain citizenship. During this period, the Empire paid the salary, and the salary level was in accordance with the uniform standards of the Mars Empire. “

"Sounds really good," Gu Hanhan scratched his head, "But I'm not familiar with Mars......

It's not just that we're not familiar with it, we have a grudge against Mars's Maximilian at all, right?!

Gu Hanhan muttered a few words, and then said reluctantly: "Then you can say something expensive——"

"It's expensive. Lichun smiled, "It's all expensive, but the expensive posture is different." There are those who require that the annual tax payment for twenty or thirty consecutive years must reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of cosmic coins, and there are those who are forced to enter industries with extremely high mortality rates and do not pay for a certain period of time without even taking care of food. And that kind of poor and crazy country, which directly requires a one-time payment of tens of thousands of reserve coupons to give citizenship-"

"Tens of thousands of reserve coupons!" Gu Hanhan was dumbfounded, "So expensive!"

"What are tens of thousands of reserve coupons," Lichun showed a look that had seen the world, "I have also seen some national planets charge by the day, and they cost thousands of yuan a day, and they still collect reserve coupons." Citizenship or anything should never be thought about, because no amount of money or any amount of work will ever be given to you!"

...... Aren't you really hacking my Mother Earth, Ms. Lichun?

Just when Gu Hanhan's prospects for the slave industry were in a good depression as a whole, and the millions of little slaves he smashed into his hands were gloomy and speechless, a scream suddenly exploded in his ears.

"Wenwen!" Gu Hanhan suddenly felt provincial, and no longer cared about worrying about the little slave and his own money bag, he jumped up and threw himself out.

It turned out that Gu Hanhan talked to Ms. Lichun about the slave trade before, and the more he talked, the more he talked, the more involved he became, and the more and more the cosmic lingua franca was mixed in his speech, faster and faster, and in the end, it was completely a cosmic lingua franca conversation, and the usage was often omitted. For Zheng Wenwen, a scumbag girl from the single digit test of the universal language of the universe in high school, and she didn't break through the double-digit number in college, auditing is simply an incompleteable challenge, and the more she listens, the more she feels bored, the more she listens, the more she abuses, and she just wants to doze off. So I heard the noise of gongs and drums outside the Exchange Department, and the lively sound was higher and higher, so I simply threw these two away and ran outside to watch the excitement. Naturally, there were attendants who followed, and they also reported to Gu Hanhan. It is said that the square outside the trading hall is holding the monthly carnival of the Nanzhou Continent, the major slave companies are holding promotion activities, and there are various lively games. So Gu Hanhan didn't take it seriously, expecting that with the omnipotent gentlemen under the Garr Attendant Chief, there would be absolutely no accidents. However, it turned out to be Zheng Wenwen's scream, which frightened Gu Hanhan's soul almost away.

What's going on!

Gu Hanhan turned around and rushed out of the gate, running out of a few hundred meters in one step, and running to Zheng Wenwen's side in a few steps. She stepped over the heads of countless people who were shopping at the carnival and jumped directly to Zheng Wenwen's side. Zheng Wenwen's skirt was soaked with blood, holding a little girl in one hand, tearing a man with the other, and a woman in a hat was holding a little boy who was sitting on the ground and crying, shouting at Zheng Wenwen in the universal language full of strange tones.

Gu Hanhan grabbed Zheng Wenwen's arm, shook off the man who was tearing with her, and pulled her into his arms.

"Wenwen, Wenwen!" she grabbed her best friend's chest and said, "I'm here, Wenwen, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
