After the power station was completed, Wang Haoran often went to see Xiaoyu and their research, and almost every time he had to tell them to pay attention to safety, after all, the high pressure is as fierce as a tiger, and it can kill people at any time.

One day, when Wang Haoran came back from the power station, he happened to see some officials escorting a group of people to the government office, and seeing that those people were wearing the clothes of Wazhou, he curiously stepped forward to ask the officials what the situation was.

"Back to the lord, these people were all smuggled from Wazhou, and they are about to be escorted back to the government to wait for disposal." A servant saluted.

"Oh? Why did they smuggle over? What will the government do with them? "Wang Haoran is strange, the Tang Dynasty has given a lot of support to Wazhou over the years, and the people of Wazhou should not be unable to survive in Wazhou, right?

"Didn't the imperial court issue a decree last year? Wazhou is also the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so the people of Wazhou are naturally the people of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not a fault if they want to move here. However, not everyone can move here, the imperial court has many restrictions, and these people just don't meet these conditions. They dared to smuggle over like this, because once they came, the imperial court would not drive them back, at most they would be assigned to work in some places. If they work here for more than ten years or later they get married and have children, the court will give them a household registration here. These people are here for this household registration. "That's all the official knows.

Wang Haoran suddenly realized that although Wazhou has improved, compared with the Datang Continent, it is like the gap between North Korea and South Korea in later generations. With the increasing frequency of trade between the Datang Continent and the Dazhou Continent, the more the people of the Datang Continent know more about the Datang Continent, the more the Datang people envy this kind of happy life beyond their imagination, and it is not surprising that some people want to settle in the Datang Dynasty.

There are few people in the Tang Mainland, and Li Shimin certainly welcomes these people, but he can't ignore the development of Wuzhou, not to mention that the Futian family will not sit idly by, so he sets some conditions, such as knowledge, wealth, and so on. For those smugglers, they let it go on the grounds of humanistic care.

Wang Haoran found that most of these smugglers were women, so he asked the officials: "Why are there so many women among these people?" There's nothing they can do here, can they? ”

The servant smiled and said: "Sir, most of these stowaways are selected by Tang Dynasty merchants in Wuzhou, if there is no strategy for these merchants, where can these people live?" A few years ago, a large number of businessmen found that the women in Wazhou were petite and lovely, obedient, and very likeable, and many nobles would find a way to get a few back as concubines. Look, sir, although the women here are dressed in tatters, but if you look at their faces, if they are changed into bright clothes, they are all first-class beauties! As for those who smuggled over without permission, they can generally only go to the Qinglou. ”

"So that's human trafficking? Or collusion between officials and businessmen? Wang Haoran asked casually, although he was resistant to this matter, but deep down he didn't want to stop it.

"Lord Mingcha!" The official hurriedly explained, "In Wuzhou, it is not illegal to buy and sell these women, and it is not against the laws of the Tang Dynasty to accept them as concubines, so it is not easy for our family to interfere, and we can only escort them back to the government for registration first, just in case." ”

"I see, so these people are already booked?"

"It's not exact, but it's usually not sold yet." Seeing that Wang Haoran had no intention of blaming, the official breathed a sigh of relief.

"After the government registers these people, what will happen to these people?"

"They will all be brought back by their respective owners, and those owners will auction these people in Xunyan Mansion publicly, and those who can't be sold will be sold to Qinglou."

"It's common?" Wang Haoran has never heard of human trafficking since he came to Datang, at most he is so poor that he sells himself, maybe there is this thing secretly, but if he sells it openly, it is really surprising.

"It's okay here, the villain heard that there are the most on Shandong Road, and I heard that the women transported there are sold directly on the stage as soon as they come ashore, and I don't know if it's true or not."

When Wang Haoran returned home, he kept thinking about it, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was necessary to implore Li Shimin to take a little action to deal with it. He is not sympathetic to the people of Wuzhou, but the matter of human trafficking, and at the same time sold the virtue of the Tang people, if the Tang Dynasty wants to have long-term peace and stability, the imperial court must slowly learn to respect human rights, such retrograde things, doesn't it hinder the pace of social progress?

For things that are not painful, if Wang Haoran has any proposals, Li Shimin will adopt them, and this matter is the same. However, there were many implications for the matter, and in the end, the imperial court only banned open human trafficking. However, some decrees are not issued, as soon as this decree is issued, it is equivalent to the imperial court's statement, and the traders can see the meaning of the imperial court from this decree, and they cannot sell it publicly, that is, it is allowed to sell privately, so the matter of buying women from Wazhou is even more rampant, but it is not so public.

Wang Haoran is a dumb eater this time, so far, he can't let the imperial court change his order overnight, right? So I can only comfort myself, as long as the impact is not big, forget it, anyway, after a while, this trend will naturally stop.

As a result, this trend has been prevalent for more than a year before it weakens, and those who do not have one or two concubines in the family will be ridiculed for not keeping up with the times. Even Wang Haoran, the intimate Li Liushuang specially bought a Wuzhou woman to act as a façade. Wang Haoran didn't care, but the Wuzhou woman was good-looking, so she smiled. I took some time to try it, and it felt very good, in addition to the freshness, Wang Haoran dared to ravage this concubine in Wuzhou, like Xie Qingyou, Wang Haoran was reluctant to let them play with their mouths.

Xiaoyu's electric light is about to be researched, but Liu Xiaomei is so anxious, in another year, Xiaoyu will be twenty years old, although the Yu family didn't dare to urge, but the Wang family can't let the Yu family just wait, right? So after Liu Xiaomei discussed with Wang Furen, she wrote to Wang Haoran, asking him to take Xiaoyu back to Chang'an this year, and at least let Xiaoyu get married after the year.

Wang Haoran hasn't been back to Chang'an for many years, anyway, Xiaoyu's research has come to an end, so he will simply go back to Chang'an for the New Year this year, and by the way, he will simply handle the marriage of Xiaoyu and Yu Zhaoyun.

A few days later, there was a sudden whistle on the sea, and Wang Haoran snorted, could it be that the Exploration was back? He hurriedly rushed out to look, only to see a huge ship stuck on the sea, with the flag of Datang flying on the top of the ship!
