Chapter 286: This policy, the young master likes it

Human trafficking is a very old industry in the world, and it is on a par with Qinglou, which sells skin and meat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the earliest slave society, most of the prisoners of war were sold. Later, after the class differentiation became obvious, some people in the same tribe had money, some had no money, and some did not have enough to eat. At this time, the human trade with the tribe began.

During the Warring States period, human trafficking was quite common. As a result of the war, most of the trafficked people were also prisoners of war. In the period of feudal autocracy, under the special social background, human trafficking has an important characteristic, that is, legal human trafficking and illegal human trafficking coexist. Its forms are divided into "and selling", "slightly selling" and "plundering". "And selling" was regarded as a legal act in feudal society.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, once advocated and encouraged the people to "sell sons and daughters", and regarded it as a means to save the famine. According to the Hanshu Food and Goods Chronicle, in the early Han Dynasty, there was a great famine one year, and one stone of rice could be sold for 5,000 yuan, which was very expensive, and half of the victims starved to death, resulting in a human tragedy of "cannibalism". For this reason, Liu Bang ordered the people to sell their children in exchange for life-saving food, which is the so-called "Gaozu is to make the people sell their children, and eat Shu Han." ”

At this time, child trafficking also began to be targeted. For example, the main purpose of abducting and selling boys is to become slaves, just like abducting and selling mentally handicapped people into black brick kilns, so as to extract the maximum benefits from slave labor, while crippling good children such as Dou Shaojun to beg is not as profitable as slave labor, and the risk is greater. Abduction and trafficking of girls is mainly sold to large families as slaves or to "professional prostitutes" who raise "thin horses" for training, and then let them enter the Qinglou to support their families when they grow up.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ruling class began to realize the drawbacks of human trafficking. It is therefore prohibited by law. But human trafficking has not been banned.

By the time of the Sui and Tang dynasties, human traffickers also began to become specialized, called "human teeth", and obtained monopoly rights granted by the government.

That is to say, if you are not a person recognized by the imperial court, you are not allowed to engage in human trafficking, otherwise it will be illegal.

Even people like the martial arts family want to buy a slave, a maidservant or something, and they have to find human teeth, unless the person you buy is selling themselves so that you don't have to go through human teeth.

Of course, Renyazi can be recognized, not only because the imperial court gave them this right, but also because in the process of buying and selling human beings, "Renyazi" also provides credit guarantees to buyers, the most interesting of which is the industry custom that "Renyazi" must promise to "repent" within a certain period of time. The so-called "repentance" means that the buyer has a three-day probationary period, during which if the buyer is not satisfied, the buyer has the responsibility to "return".

This is the same as buying something on an e-commerce platform, and there must be a seven-day no-reason return guarantee, so that everyone can buy with confidence.

The samurai family wants to buy people to come back to make soap in the soap workshop, so they naturally have to be cautious in picking people, although in these years, because the fugitive slaves can be directly killed when they are captured, basically no one dares to escape, but basically no one dares to mean that no one dares at all.

In case the method of making soap is leaked because of the fugitive slaves, Wu Yuanqing will cry to death.

So when Wu Yuanqing bought someone at that time, he went out in person, and he was accompanied by Xiao Lori Changle.

Wu Yuanqing of Xishi has been to countless times, but he has never been to a place where people are bought and sold, so when Changle said that he wanted to go with him, he nodded and agreed without paying attention.

But when he arrived at the place, Wu Yuanqing regretted it.

It's impossible to describe this place, it's a hell on earth.

The trafficked people were chained with ropes and chains like animals, and all the ragged clothes were compliments, completely unclothed, and the women usually had some strips of cloth to hang, and the men were almost always naked.

Many people are numb and dead, with empty eyes no different from the living dead, and almost all of these people are old and infirm and cannot be sold and wait for death here.

The others are no better, at most they have a little more living breath on their bodies. When someone comes, they also know that when they turn their eyes, the man's Lulu arms are shiny and dry, and the biceps muscles are not fleshy, and the woman will wipe her dirty face to make herself look clean and beautiful.

The person who bought the animal would choose to break it like an animal to see what was going on in the tooth, and some people would whip it with a whip in order to hear whether the cry was loud or not, so as to judge whether the person being beaten was healthy or not.

Changle, the princess of golden branches and jade leaves, has seen such a scene in the courtyard of the deep palace since she was a child, and she was so frightened that she covered her eyes and didn't dare to look at it, but she could still hear it when she covered her eyes and ears, and the screams around her scared the little girl trembling all over.

"Isn't there a quieter place here?" Wu Yuanqing asked with a dark face.

"Yes, yes, please here" Ren Yazi nodded and said with a bow, although he didn't know Wu Yuanqing, but from the clothes and accessories on Wu Yuanqing's body, it could be seen that this must be a child of the Xungui family, and the level was very high.

"Childe should be the first time to come, we sell low-grade goods here, the better ones are inside, and the best ones will be displayed in the stands" Ren Yazi led the way in front and whispered in his mouth.

"The best? How good is it? Wu Yuanqing asked curiously.

"Well, let me tell you this, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are all low-class, average-looking, and the body is generally ordinary, and the better ones are better, such as being literate or something, or the body is strong, and the women who look a little better are better. Those who are very beautiful or strong are the best of the best, and of course foreigners are not in the ranks. Like Kunlun Nu, even if they are strong, they are only low-class goods, because their brains are too stupid, and like Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Japanese men, they are at most ordinary goods, if they are women, even if they look ordinary, they are also good goods, and once they are a little beautiful, they are the best and most popular. Ren Yazi said.

", do you guys also engage in discrimination against that ethnic group by human trafficking, what's wrong with Kunlun slaves, why do you discriminate against others. And why are Goguryeo, Baekje, and Wa people more popular than the Tang people, and it is impossible to sell slaves to Nyima and worship foreign countries? Wu Yuanqing was furious, and dragged the collar of the human tooth to himself and scolded.

"No, you misunderstood" Seeing Wu Yuanqing's angry eyes, Ren Yazi was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand and begged for mercy, explaining: "It's not that they are more popular than the Tang people, it's that the women of Goguryeo, Silla, and the Japanese people are more popular than the Tang women." There is not much that no one wants in these countries. ”

"Oh" As soon as he heard the stick, there were still little devil men who wanted Wu Yuanqing to lose a lot of anger, but he still asked with a grudge: "Why are women in these countries popular, and where is the difference between Datang women?" ”

"Of course, Datang women are not bad, but it is precisely because they are not bad that they are not as popular as women in these countries. Do you know, as long as it is a slave of the Tang Dynasty, it is not allowed to kill at will, as long as it is not a fugitive slave and kill, it will be punished, but foreign slaves are different, and they will not be punished at all, which is of course welcomed by everyone. After all, you know, a lot of people have a special hobby, they like to use some tools, and if they get killed, as long as they are foreign slaves, it doesn't matter. Moreover, if you are used to seeing women in the Tang Dynasty, you will always want to taste the taste of foreign women, so it is normal for foreign female slaves to be more popular. ”

", I see, this policy young master likes it, hehehe."
