In the Age of Discovery, the most vicious gang that monopolized intercontinental ocean trade was the Dutch East India Company.

Backed by Amsterdam's abundant capital, the Dutch East India Company advanced into Southeast Asia and directly killed non-Dutch European merchants, especially the English, by military means. After the seizure of the Spice Islands, the Dutch East India Company used force to inspect the spice production areas, and any attempt to shake the monopoly of the spice trade was considered unforgivable. According to historical records, the Dutch East India Company killed more than 1,000 natives of the Banda Islands in a few weeks because the natives of the Spice Islands sold cloves and nutmeg to English merchants.

Using the bloody spice monopoly trade, the Dutch East India Company spent a lot of money to establish a vast independent kingdom in Southeast Asia that was almost entirely decided by the company's board of directors, and became a trans-colonial group that could be almost equal to the Dutch government. In the accumulation of vast wealth, the power of the board of directors of the company is far greater than that of the Dutch Governors' Federation in Europe.

This violence clearly worked, and the Dutch monopolized the spice markets in Europe and Asia. However, the extreme market supply method also brought disaster to the Dutch spice trade. Unlike England, which gradually shifted trade from the Far East to the East, which had more consumption power for the European market, the Dutch East India Company continued to focus its trade in the East on spices, which typically resulted in a dramatic increase in the amount of spices that poured into Europe via Dutch merchant ships, and the gradual decline in the attractiveness of spices in Europe in the face of the table revolution in the 17th century. The most immediate consequence was that the price of spices began to fall sharply.

In the twenties of the 17th century, the price of cloves in Amsterdam had dropped to less than 5 guilders per pound, and even more often hovered around 3 guilders. The price of pepper, which was once dominant, has plummeted, and the price is as low as less than 1 guilder per pound.

The final fate of the Dutch East India Company after a hundred years was also due to the fact that the profits of the Oriental spice trade could not make ends meet, and it continued to lose money, and finally went bankrupt and dissolved. Defeat also spices.

Monday, July 14, 1625.

After lunch, Di Zugong came to the dock full of joy, and several European employees of the city government followed cautiously behind him, holding the papers. Looking at the busy and prosperous scene on the weekend, Di Zugong was secretly satisfied with the results of his three years of hard work.

Beside Di Zugong, there was also a young Chinese man dressed as a scholar, who was looking around curiously, or frowning thoughtfully after a few seconds.

Suddenly, not far ahead. A young businessman dressed as Chinese was talking to a couple of Portuguese businessmen with a fellow European. It seems that the language is not the right way, or maybe the pricing difference between them is too great, and both sides are red-faced.

Di Zugong smiled slightly, turned his head, and said to the Chinese young man who was following him: "Zhao Mingchuan, do you want to go with me to have a look?" ”

The Chinese young man known as Zhao Mingchuan was slightly stunned, his hands were lightly closed, and his body leaned slightly, which was a response: "Master Di just go." The students were speechless. ”

The two sides of the transaction who were arguing finally saw the local chief executive, and immediately several people stopped talking.

"Little brother, which company are you from?"

Look at the other party's head scarf and cloth hat, apparently covered with short hair. It was the first time that Di Zugong had seen a non-Chinese American in business, and if you think about it, I am afraid that there is no Chinese immigrant in China who really has the qualifications to come out and do business. Should be an employee of a trading company.

"Back to the mayor's words, little Wang Gui, is the business of COSCO International Trade Company! Now it is replacing the big owner to purchase goods in Shuangwan City. ”

The articulate young Chinese is obviously a clever person selected by Ren Changle from the Chinese people in recent years, and he speaks Mandarin very smoothly.

"What? Having a conflict with a Portuguese merchant friend? Di Zugong smiled and patted the young man's shoulder. Turning his head to look at the European nationals who were with the young man, "As far as I know, your company has always been very happy to buy goods. ”

"Mr. Mayor, the quality of the Brazilian cotton shipped by the Portuguese this time is not very good, but the bid is the same as last time, and my colleagues and I will not accept it!" As he spoke, the European clerk of COSCO International Trading Company glared fiercely at the Portuguese businessman opposite.

"And do they understand what you mean?" Di Zugong looked left and right, and it was obvious that this was a chicken-to-duck negotiation, and the two clerks of COSCO International Trading Company happened to know little about Portuguese.

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Mingchuan beside him, and saw that the other party was looking at the Portuguese intently, and seemed to understand what the other party meant.

"The student is not talented, he understands the language of Franc and is willing to translate." Zhao Mingchuan found that Di Zugong was looking at him, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and nodded.

After some theoretical negotiations, the Portuguese finally understood the meaning of the Chinese merchant, and seemed to know that their goods were not in good condition this time, so they had to make a little concession on the original price, and the business was finally successfully completed, and a whole shipload of cotton was pocketed by COSCO International Trade Group.

"Zhao Mingchuan, what do you think of what happened just now?" On the way back to the mayor's residence, Di Zugong suddenly asked.

"Businessmen pursue profits, do everything they can, have red mouths and white teeth, shoddy goods, and must be compared. If everyone is greedy for profit, it is not good for the country. Zhao Mingchuan replied casually.

"It's not good for the country, so why did those Spaniards and Portuguese sail thousands of miles to Daming to do business?" Di Zugong did not refute and continued to ask.

"The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. The people of the Ming Dynasty are rich and rich, and the merchants are profit-seeking. Zhao Mingchuan's expression did not change, and his tone was calm.

"I remember that there is such a passage in "Lao Tzu", which says: 'To the extreme, neighboring countries look at each other, chickens and dogs hear each other's voices, and the people are willing to eat, beautify their clothes, settle their customs, enjoy their work, and never interact with each other until old age and death.'" must use this as a business, save the eyes and ears of the people in the modern world, and there is almost nothing to do. ”

Di Zugong finished reciting such a sentence with a smile, and Zhao Mingchuan on the side was stunned for a moment.

"The ultimate cure. I am afraid that no country in the world will be able to achieve the pinnacle of governance, and it will be empty talk to expect the people to live and work in peace and contentment from now on. The more we run the country with such an attitude, the more the people will be closed off from the outside world. Lao Tzu thought it was impossible. ”

Seeing that the other party was thinking, Di Zugong struck while the iron was hot: "And you just said the latter part of "The Biography of the Goods and Colonies", I remember that there is another paragraph in the front: Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. Rites are born out of something and waste in nothing. Therefore, the gentleman is rich and good at his virtues; The villain is rich, in order to fit the force. The abyss is deep and the fish are born, the mountains are deep and the beasts go to it, and the people are rich and the benevolence and righteousness are attached. The rich are in good shape. If you lose power, you will have nothing to do, and you will not be happy. ”

"Only when a gentleman gains can he help the poor. When the villain gains, he can put his mind on business. China and the United States are not the Ming Dynasty, and they do not have so many people and properties, so they can only trade and pursue profits, and use their strengths to earn the shortcomings of others. Only when the country is rich can it have the strength to recruit soldiers, build ships and guns to protect the country; Only when the people are rich can they have the heart to learn etiquette and read poetry. Look at this Twin Bay City. The Europeans were envious and wanted to put it in the Ming court. Will each family subsidize hundreds of taels of silver to repair such a house? But I can in China and the United States, not because we have endless mountains of gold and silver, but from the bargaining between Wang Gui and the Portuguese just now, they make a profit, and the state collects taxes. If the country is rich and the people are rich, everyone will be able to live in such a house, and the people's hearts will be at peace. ”

"Today, the Europeans you see go to the Ming Dynasty to do business regardless of life and death. But in a few hundred years, how much wealth will they have saved, and how many seafaring skills will they have cultivated? They may not be able to build mansions and mansions for their common people, but they will build strong ships and cannons, and go to Daming to sell goods and plunder money, because their wealth is enough to build bigger ships and bigger cannons than Daming. Cheaper goods than Daming. ”

"You say that Daming is rich in the world? Do you know how much trade import and export tax can be obtained this year on a palm-sized island like Shuangwan City? A conservative estimate of 850,000 US dollars, about 600,000 taels of silver, is much more than the richest province in the Ming Dynasty handed over to the imperial court every year! Do you know how much money Huamei spent on education this year? 1 million US dollars, about 700,000 taels of silver! Within a month. Of the Chinese Americans you see, men and women, young and old, I am afraid that less than 30% of them are illiterate. Recently, you have talked to me every night about your ideals, about the hundred schools of thought, about educating talents, about things, about the people, about saving the country, you are the most progressive Ming scholar I have ever seen, and I also think that only by embracing all rivers can we emancipate human nature and emancipate the mind. But I want to sue you, if you don't have money, you can't take a step, you can't educate talents, you can't get things, you can't settle the people, and you can't save the country. The Ming Dynasty is now exhausted and the people are tired, and I am afraid that the poverty of the country is also the reason for this. Don't count on protecting the country and the people, thank God if the people don't rebel, how can we talk about long-term peace and stability? If the people can only eat enough to eat, they are called Dazhi, and they are just a flock of sheep that have not starved to death. ”

Zhao Mingchuan was completely stunned, not only the final number, but also Di Zugong's theory about the wealth of the people and the wealth of the country.

"Mingchuan begged Lord Di to give the gentleman the way to enrich the country and the people!" Zhao Mingchuan straightened his clothes and respectfully handed them to the ground.

"Simple, Zhao Mingchuan, try it for yourself, when you become a millionaire, you will know how to be a gentleman and enrich the country and the people." Di Zugong laughed and looked triumphantly towards the bay to the west, only to see that two kilometers away, another fleet of ships was slowly approaching.

……

As soon as 4 Dutch-style big-bellied sail galen ships appeared near the West Bay, they attracted the attention of the frigate Delaware. After all, the Dutch were extremely weak in Central and South America, only settling in the area of Guiana, South America, and the colonial industry in the New World was dozens of grades worse than that of the old Spain or Portugal, and not even necessarily as good as the English. At this time, there were 4 ocean-going merchant ships, which were much more powerful than those of Spain or Portugal.

After several inquiries by Captain Wen Tuo, the captain of the Delaware, he learned that he had come to trade, but he had traveled from Southeast Asia to Bermuda to trade, which made Wen Tuo pay attention to it, and he was almost escorted all the way to West Bay.

Army Lieutenant Xu Hongyun is 30 years old this year and is the "oldest" lieutenant in the Chinese and American Army. Before the crossing, he was just a supernumerary staff member of a local telecommunications company, but as a fan of the silk army, Xu Hongyun still took the initiative to join the army after the crossing.

As the commander-in-chief of the garrison in Shuangwan City, Bermuda, Xu Hongyun was naturally very wary of this Dutch merchant fleet from Southeast Asia. Under his command, the cannons of both the bay fortress and the inland central fortress were quietly aimed at the Dutch fleet.

After a long voyage, the Dutch fleet was ordered to dock in the dock area reserved for immigrants to prevent the possible introduction of the disease. Xu Hongyun specially transferred an infantry platoon to take charge of the security of the dock, while the local customs and tax officials and police were responsible for boarding and inspecting the ship.

On the Dutch merchant ship, the Dutch sailors were tiredly huddled on the deck, expecting to go ashore to rest, and the leading merchant of the caravan led the way with a mysterious and triumphant expression on his face as the policemen who boarded the ship for inspection.

When the cabin cover was opened, an incommising tidal smell poured out, and the customs officer at the head almost vomited. Finally, when the stench cleared, the police near the staircase of the cabin heard the faint crying from below.

Went down the stairs with a windproof oil lamp. The customs and tax officers and the police were stunned.

In the dimly lit cabin, there were scrawny boys and girls, the oldest being no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest even only six or seven years old. Judging from the way they look, without exception, they are all children from Daming! Judging by this merchant ship alone, there are at least 200 children on board, if not more.

The police officers looked at each other, and several of them were slowly showing angry faces.

……

……

has not recovered from Zhou Kemin's sacrifice. An urgent telegram from the city of Shuangwan in Bermuda made the government cabinet headed by Qi Jianjun stunned for a while. It surprised the members of both houses of Congress. It's really "bad things" every day, and there are so many of them this year.

Four Dutch merchant ships from Southeast Asia actually brought more than 1,100 Ming refugees at one time, and most of them were children under the age of 15. Among them, there are more than 600 boys, more than 400 girls, and the remaining dozens of adults are almost all young women.

Obviously, these are only the numbers that survived in the end, and God knows how many young Ming children or young women died along the way. The Dutch are famous for their maritime trade, and they are notorious for the snake and scorpion intestines that have caught "piglets" in Southeast Asia for hundreds of years.

Although the arrival of this unplanned group of Chinese immigrants is not a bad thing. But to express it in this ** mode, and to be Dutch, it reminds many people of a very bad term - "slave trade". More importantly, does this mean that the European colonizers have made the Chinese slaves a slave trade on a large scale?

Xu Hongyun was blackened with anger on the spot, and without waiting for any instructions, this lieutenant mobilized most of the officers and soldiers of the company to rush onto the Dutch merchant ship, regardless of any sanitary isolation and quarantine regulations. Directly asked his subordinates to take out all the children in the cabin.

Seeing the scrawny and dying children, almost all the Chinese police officers or army soldiers wanted to cry without tears, and then vented their anger on the Dutch crew. The entire Dutch fleet was seized on the spot by the Shuangwan City Police and Customs, and all crew members were locked up in a small black room in the garrison fortification. There are so many strange things that need to be explained. The National Assembly then also authorized the government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to conduct a special investigation.

Su Zining, the direct initiator of the Far East Migration Program, set off for Havana, Cuba to visit Wèn as early as a week ago, preparing to pave the way for domestic capitalists to invest in Cuba's industrial and agricultural raw material industries. Now the only person who can grasp the inside story of the Far East immigration program is Vice Foreign Minister Yan Xiaosong.

In the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Yan Xiaosong pinched the message, frowned, and the pencil in his hand kept drawing on the paper, circling all the doubts, and then arranging and combining various possibilities.

This is a typical human smuggling and trafficking behavior, and its internal and external nature is infinitely close to that of the African slave trade! Moreover, its "commodity characteristics" are obviously aimed at China and the United States, who is so bold and fat to make such a batch of Chinese "little piglets"?

Spain can only play the role of soy sauce in the Far East immigration program, because of the constant conflicts with the Dutch around the world, so the Spanish are unlikely to have any contact with the Dutch.

Portugal was the absolute main force of immigrants from the Far East, but with the Portuguese monopoly on trade, it was absolutely impossible to share this "human trade profits" with the Dutch. The only possibility is that the immigration affairs of China and the United States in the Far East are known to the Dutch, and even the Ming Dynasty has a channel that can "supply" the Dutch, and the latter is the most chilling storage in the back. If a suitable explanation cannot be found. Yan Xiaosong could only go to Bermuda once and ask those Dutch businessmen in person.

"Your Excellency Vice Minister, Mr. Luo is here." A European clerk knocked on the office door, and a middle-aged man dressed in an ordinary Hanfu costume walked in.

"Daming Da Anping Du Si Luo Da saw Lord Yan, I don't know what is the important matter of looking for Luo Da this time?"

Luo Da, who escorted dozens of core family members of the Yan family, had been living in Mancheng for a month, and now he was hurriedly summoned from the apartment, and his heart was a little upset. Looking at the "God of Wealth" in front of him respectfully, Luo Da's tone did not look like a pirate who had been killing at sea for many years.

"Mr. Luo, please take a seat. I have summoned you this time because I have something to ask. As he spoke, Yan Xiaosong put a handwritten text in front of Luo Da, "If I can't get a reasonable explanation from you, I need to go to Daming." ”

Luo Da's heart tightened, and he quickly took the text with both hands, and it was the second time that he had come to Huamei with a little bit of calligraphy, and it was not difficult for him to read these simplified characters.

"This ......" Luo Da slowly opened his eyes and raised his head. was also full of doubts, "Lord Yan...... Mr. Yan suspected that my general was colluding with the Dutch red hair. Trafficking in slavery? ”

"Can't you doubt it?" Yan Xiaosong leaned back in the chair, looked at Luo Da with a flushed face, and his tone was a little cold, "It's all sold to North America, who can guarantee that no more people will be sold to other places?" ”

"It's impossible!" Luo stood up with a loud shout, clenched his fists, his eyes glowing with anger, "My Yan family is from a bitter background. I will never do such a hurtful thing! There must be slander behind someone's back! ”

Luo Da's appearance was also expected by Yan Xiaosong. After retracting the text, Yan Xiaosong's tone softened a lot: "For the time being, I agree with your attitude with Yan Siqi, but this kind of thing is very strict, which shows that the Macao side has violated the cooperation agreement with the Chinese government and Yan Siqi!" Even in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, there are people involved. ”

"Dutch Red Hair...... Daming Inland ...... Wait......" Luo Da thought with his head down. Suddenly patted his head and shouted, his expression was very weird, "Mr. Yan, I probably know who it is!" If it's not bad as expected. It must be that Zheng Zhilong! ”

Yan Xiaosong was stunned for a moment and slowly stood up.

yes, why didn't I think it was him...... Walking to the window and looking at the traffic on the street in the distance, Yan Xiaosong's mind suddenly appeared the image of a young man with tender hair at the corner of his mouth.

Yan Siqi and the Portuguese have the closest "alliance relationship", and Zheng Zhilong, who is still rising at a young age in this time and space, is a public friend of the Dutch. With the business relationship of the Dutch, in fact, you can find clues from the gorgeous goods that continue to appear in the hands of the Portuguese in Macau, and even know the connection between Huamei and the Portuguese in Macao and Yan Siqi from the secret agents who broke into Yan Siqi's forces.

Zheng Zhilong has become a guerrilla general in Penghu in the Ming Empire, so theoretically, with the strength of the Li Dan family behind him, he can get more displaced people than Yan Siqi. But how could either Zheng Zhilong or the Dutch East India Company suddenly participate in this "trade"?

"Does Zheng Zhilong know about the military aid your general received from Huamei?" Yan Xiaosong turned around.

Luo Da thought for a while, and could only nod slightly, obviously Yan Xiaosong's problem was not a deep secret in Dayuan Island for a long time, plus Macao is such a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, Zheng Zhilong, who also has a lot of intelligence in Macao, is easy to obtain some information. This layer of window paper has not been pierced, and it is also because the interest game is still in a relatively stable state.

"Hehe, Zheng Zhilong is also starting to be greedy. The Dutch are the largest customers of Huamei goods in Europe, and if they really want to open up the Far East market, with their strength, they can send a certain amount of arms to the Ming Dynasty, especially Zheng Zhilong. Thinking of this, Yan Xiaosong was relieved.

"Hmph, sell the same clan, shame on me!" Luo Da snorted coldly, but thinking that his family was almost doing this kind of thing, his face was slightly red.

"Hehe, I know it in my heart, thanks to Mr. Luo's reminder this time." Yan Xiaosong didn't care about the embarrassment of the other party, and handed over another document with a smile, "This is the second batch of goods to be shipped to Macao this year, please sign for it." ”

Hurriedly took a few steps forward and carefully held it in his hand, Luo Da didn't even look at it, so he grabbed a pencil and wrote his name extremely awkwardly at the end of the text. Luo Da fully believes in the gold content of the things in this article. Judging from the exchanges in the past few years, no matter how bad it is, it will not be less than in previous years.

Luo Da left the government office building, ready to tell the good news to the eldest lady of the Yan family, as for a certain "bad news that has lost all conscience and tragedy", he did not intend to let the other party know.

The next day, the results of the "interrogation" from Shuangwan City, Bermuda, finally came out, and when he got the message, Yan Xiaosong himself couldn't cry or laugh.

This Dutch merchant fleet was not a Dutch East India Company, let alone a deliberate member of Zheng Zhilong, but a Dutch free merchant who had been trading between Europe, Brazil and Southeast Asia for many years.

By chance, the drunken Portuguese population learned about the "business opportunity" of transporting Chinese immigrants to Brazil. These Dutch merchants decisively abandoned their plans to buy spices from Batavia, and instead started a "human trade" with Zheng Zhilong through the intermediaries of the Dutch East India Company.

In 1622, the Dutch East India Company sent an astonishing amount of spices to Europe, and the stock of spices in Amsterdam was almost enough to last for 7 to 8 years! The price of spices began to fall sharply, and in 1623, the European shipment price of a pound of cloves had fallen to a low of 3.5 guilders (1 guilder equals 1 dollar), and in 1624, the price of shipments through guò control zhì, and even the destruction of part of the stock, was less than 4 guilders. And the wholesale price of cloves in Batavia by the Dutch East India Company. It is still at a high level of 1.3 guilders per pound, and the profit per pound is just over 2 guilders. As for the pepper on the rotten street, it is not profitable.

And what about the "price" of "trafficking" Chinese to Brazil? According to the drunk Portuguese crew member, a Chinese adult man and woman over the age of 16 was offered $400 by the United States and $300 by a child under the age of 16.

The trick was in the bargaining between Su Zining and the Portuguese at the beginning. A child weighs up to 50 pounds and has a 21b flintlock pistol, and the Dutch can now get a discounted price of $75, which can be shipped to the Far East and sold to Zheng Zhilong for $100 (equivalent to about 70 taels of silver). However, these Dutch free traders did not want Zheng Zhilong's silver. They actually use weight to settle human trade!

In the process of the dizzying trade, "the purchase price of a pound of children was less than 7 Stoiver (35 cents)". Buying a Chinese child from Zheng Zhilong is only more than 10 guilders, but selling it to China and the United States is as high as 300 guilders, with a profit of dozens of times, and a merchant ship can carry far more children than adults, and the transportation cost is much less than that of adults, who will buy spices and ship them to Europe!

This conclusion was submitted to Congress. All the parliamentarians lost their voices. The swearing in private is very weak, and the profits of this trade are basically the risk that a European merchant would take a risk, so it is no wonder that the Portuguese are so happy. Some lawmakers are even thinking. Whether the Portuguese and Yan Siqi also use this calculation method.

The Dutch merchants came to make a fortune with joy, but they were "inexplicably" locked up in a small black room by the Americans, and they were all frightened to the point that their limbs went weak. After secretly hearing about the possible disposition, they realized how unfamiliar they were with the "American situation." This oriental country in the New World of North America is only engaged in ocean migration, and the oriental people are the absolute core of the advanced population in this country, and they are not at all the pig trafficking labor that the Portuguese sailors say, let alone those refugees who were discarded at will like a burden in the Ming Empire!

On July 17, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Immigration of the Chinese government jointly issued a "fine": In view of the fact that the Dutch free businessmen violated the "relevant laws and diplomatic agreements" and seriously hurt the national dignity of the United States, every Ming Dynasty child or woman transported to Bermuda had to pay a fine of 100 US dollars, and more than 1,100 Chinese children lost more than 110,000 US dollars in profits.

Subsequently, the Ministry of Immigration still paid the remaining $200,000 in "migrant transportation costs", and formally signed a contract with these Dutch free businessmen for the transportation of migrants, and also strictly stipulated the transportation rules. As for the arms trade between the Dutch free merchants and Zheng Zhilong, because the Dutch themselves had a source of goods could not be truly curbed, they could only be restricted through other diplomatic channels.

In the end, the surging national compatriots finally bowed their heads and compromised in front of the actual interests of immigrants, and Congress once again duplicity: the board was raised high and gently lowered.

According to the ocean-going capacity of the Dutch in the Far East, if the Eurasian spice trade continues to be sluggish, it can increase the number of Ming Dynasty immigrants by more than 2,000 a year, which can make up for the efficiency of the transportation organization of the Portuguese in Macao from the source, and can also "pull Zheng Zhilong into the water". However, in this way, Zheng Zhilong's power in the Ming Dynasty will inevitably increase greatly, which is a difficult result for the Yan family to accept.

However, Huamei's exclusive support for Yan Siqi is incomparable to others, and I believe it is not too difficult to appease Yan Siqi.

Just after the government "opened up" to the Dutch, the parliament also officially promulgated the "Adoption of Minors Act" as soon as possible. Such a large number of Ming Dynasty orphans were tragically trafficked to North America, and some domestic laws had to keep up.

In order to set an example, Prime Minister Qi Jianjun, who had married a middle-aged widow in the crossing, first adopted several Ming orphans under the age of 10, and then a number of older women who were really not suitable to belong to the crossing, also accepted a number of children, but there were still a huge number of unacceptable.

Not to mention the single men of the Ming Dynasty immigrants who may not even have wives right away, most of the young people who have started a family have their own flesh and blood. Even if there is no lack of sympathy, if you really want everyone to willingly take the lead to adopt those Ming Dynasty children, it may not be the same.

Under the Underage Adoption Act, the orphanage in the city of Manchester will be greatly expanded, and perhaps in the next few years, as many as 1,000 young people will be able to leave the orphanage and become a special group of people in the country......

(To be continued)
