Chapter 115: The Yellow River Trading Point (5)
"The people over there said they would sell their children if we wanted them."
The corners of Section Chief Liu Chong's mouth couldn't help twitching twice, he really didn't expect that he could hear such words. The Great Song Dynasty also sold children before, and it is said that there were also wives for sale. But this is all said, Liu Pet didn't trust the said thing so much after he did the intelligence business.
For a guy like Liu Pet, who was born in the Jinshi family, and is a young generation who grew up in the new era of the Zhao official family, the Zhao official family has promulgated a law that all human trafficking is illegal. Children can be adopted, but not bought or sold.
Adoption is understandable, because you are not fertile, or you are particularly fond of a certain child, so you take the adoption. Buying and selling is the trading of people as livestock or commodities for profit.
This is how Liu Pet understands the difference between adoption and trading, and the same is true of the interpretation of the laws promulgated by the Zhao official family. So when he heard about human trafficking, Liu Chong's first reaction was a strong disgust.
Seeing Liu Chong's expression, Director Lu smiled bitterly and said, "Section Chief Liu, if they have gold and silver in their hands, they will naturally use gold and silver to buy food. Now they obviously don't have it in their hands. I also know that we have said here that human beings are not allowed to be bought and sold. That's why I asked, our intelligence department doesn't need to pay money from their side. If we use it, we can sell them grain. ”
Liu Pet wanted to answer, but didn't say anything. In fact, the Great Song Dynasty intelligence agency has no place to use money, because most of the Great Song Dynasty intelligence agencies work within the Great Song Dynasty and border areas, and those intelligence against the Great Yuan are also a very secret unit in the General Intelligence Bureau, and the secret is so secret that a section chief like Liu Pet can't get access to it at all.
After thinking for a while, Liu Pet replied: "What is really used is the Great Song Dynasty trade." Is there no unit of the Maritime Safety Bureau on the side of Dongying? ”
"Not really. Fearing insecurity, the Maritime Safety Bureau set up its base in Dengzhou. Director Lu sighed.
Dengzhou is located in what is later Yantai, at the tip of the Jiaozhou Peninsula in Shandong. Yantai was the port of later generations, and when it was opened, it was felt that Yantai's deep-water port was better than Dengzhou Port, so Yantai developed. During the Northern Song Dynasty, because the northern part of Hebei was controlled by the Liao State, Dengzhou was a port to Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, and now the Great Song Dynasty has recaptured the Jiaodong Peninsula, and Dengzhou has once again become an important port for the Great Song Dynasty to go to the Wa Kingdom. It is also an important place for the Maritime Administration and the Navy.
If Dongying at the mouth of the Yellow River wants to get to Dengzhou, it has to bypass the Jiaodong Peninsula on this side of the Bohai Sea, and it is really a long way. Moreover, the purpose of this time is only the relief trade in the disaster year, and with Liu Chong's understanding of the Maritime Safety Bureau, those Fujianese who are full of food and oil can't look down on this kind of trade that is not even a small profit.
Liu Pet immediately began to get out of trouble, "This matter is not under the control of our intelligence bureau. Our intelligence bureau doesn't care about handing over the money, and I ask Director Lu not to think about it. ”
"Section Chief Liu, can't you help?" Director Lu persuaded.
"Director Lu!" Liu Pet pulled down his face, "Your tax bureau must be in charge of anti-smuggling." It's hard for you to be in charge of smuggling, so if you're looking for a channel for smuggling, I'm looking for you?! Isn't that a big joke? Don't talk nonsense! ”
After speaking, Liu Pet left immediately. In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Pet brought in the small cadres at the trading point and asked with a serious expression: "What is the origin of this Director Lu, and how can he be so reckless." ”
The small cadre sighed: "Director Lu is from Shandong, and he used to do smuggling business, so he defected to the Great Song Dynasty. Actually, he didn't have to do this, but everyone had relatives in the north, and the relatives in the north were really hungry. But we've just had a full meal. Where is there food to send to them. And everyone didn't dare to buy food here and send it over, if they were caught doing this, it would be a big crime. He...... He couldn't help it. ”
The Great Song Dynasty did not allow grain to be exported to the Great Yuan. The internal reason is very simple, in the future war, the Great Song Dynasty is still eager to 'feed the enemy', that is, to seize all the grain of Hebei in Dayuan along the way for military food. Where is willing to give Dayuan any food channel. Once the grain is sold, those who make a profit from it will continue to sell.
As for industrial products, Da Song doesn't care at all. Now the Great Song Dynasty produces hundreds of millions of catties of iron every year, so what if it sells 100,000 catties to Mongolia. With Da Song's current ability, Da Yuan has no way to fight at all.
Liu Pet knew this, and he couldn't help sighing, "Let him send a report to Jinan about this kind of thing." Today's official family is an extremely compassionate person, and it is impossible to watch the people suffer. ”
"Official...... Mercy...... Ha...... Hehe. "The little cadres are holding back the urge to laugh. For the people of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone knows the toughness of the Zhao official family. In Shandong, there are already many people who believe that Zhao Guanjia is a great god like Erlang God Yang Jian.
The great god Yang Jian was not a legend of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and in the legend of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Jian was a relative of the Jade Emperor. In the original legend about the Erlang God Yang Jian, Yang Jian was the great demon of the West and belonged to the line of the Queen Mother of the West. And when the Queen Mother of the West arrived in the Song Dynasty, it was still close to the previous legend, which was the head of many big demons in the West. And not the wife of the Jade Emperor.
Erlang God Yang Jian, the big demon, came from Cao Mang, and later came from the Heavenly Court. Zhao's official family was not from the royal family, and finally sat on the throne of the official family.
The Zhao family was able to divert the Yellow River and was able to create so many wonderful things, such as mirrors, such as enamel, and jewelry made of lead glass. This is considered to be a great god who turns stones into gold in the folk.
Zhao Guan's family is not allowed to buy and sell human beings, and it is not allowed to drown babies, and the state adopts those babies whose parents really can't raise. Erlang God is a god who cares for children and raises orphans. Quite consistent with Zhao Guanjia.
However, it is impossible for the Shandong people to have compassion in their impression of the Zhao official family. There is no way, the bloody purge of the Zhao Guan's family has not been a few years in the past. Even if the people's memory is not long, it has not reached the point where they have forgotten the bloody past in the blink of an eye.
Liu Pet knew that he was just talking. He can't be the master of such a big thing at all, a small section chief. He's just talking, just talking.
On the second day, Liu Pet had breakfast. was about to go to the hospital to see, if the captured bandits could walk, they would take them away, but if they couldn't go, Liu Chong considered taking the cavalry squad to the river to investigate.
As soon as Liu Pet returned to his residence, he saw Director Lu appear at the door with a small cadre, and as soon as he saw Liu Chong, he immediately said, "Section Chief Liu, do you know any big news?" ”
These words startled Liu Chong, no matter what the unreliable Director Lu said, Liu Chong shook his head first and said, "I don't know any big news!" ”
