"The times are developing, the world is changing, in the most fashionable words of the last few years, that is to dispel contemptible ignorance with the enlightenment of reason, this is that, eh, that Master Elue is right?"

Seeing that the fat merchant was still stuck when he said it, Zhong Ming from Togoto politely helped him and added: "Mentor Arue, now it's an offering, and I was there at the lecture on "Reason and Wildness" five years ago. ”

"Oh, the master apprentice of Mentor Arue, no wonder it looks like the material for the Nanban trade", the fat merchant clapped his hands and praised after hearing this, Zhong Ming, who had just graduated from college with excellent grades at this time, did not look like a normal college student at all, but looked like he was engaged in the promising job of robbery.

"Since it is a high-ranking disciple enshrined by Arue, it must be able to understand the meaning of progress more clearly and clearly, so since everything else is changing, this way of catching slaves is not the same, does the little brother know how to catch slaves?"

Zhong Ming knew that this was a fat businessman who was deliberately testing himself, how to operate a slave catcher, most of the people who had participated could say it as a matter of course, but if he wanted to say that the image was specific, at least he had to lead a team, after all, the grassroots slave catchers only needed to rely on brute force, and the captain would know more.

So how can Zhong Ming be a captain as a minor? Don't forget that the management system of the slave hunting province is chaotic, and Zhong Ming is tall and fierce, normal people can't guess that he is not yet an adult, plus the family history also makes Zhong Ming not confused to enter the industry, so after nearly ten years of mixing, he occasionally leads the team.

Don't look at Zhong Ming just graduated, he will revisit his old place every few years to raise tuition, after all, although the university has scholarships, as the best university in Xibo, it is still very reluctant. So the school may have taken Zhong Ming's leave of absence to catch slaves, as long as Zhong Ming can keep up with his studies, and as a result, outstanding graduates are not in vain.

Therefore, Zhong Ming is as proficient in the specific process of catching slaves as if he was using his own hands, not to mention that almost all the books about slave catching in the university library have been swept by himself, so Zhong Ming can not only tell the fat merchant how to catch slaves today, but also use the paper "Tracing the Origin of "Slave Catching" to introduce the history of slave hunting in the past.

The term "slave catcher" has a long history, dating back more than 2,000 years to the founding of Sydney, when the aristocracy loved to go out with their armies to capture slaves for their own workforce.

It was only as time went by, and the population of the city gradually increased, and the number of civilians became unbearable for the city, and the number of "slave hunting" operations began to slowly decrease, and even in the newly opened territories, the nobles preferred to migrate from the country to cultivate here rather than capture the unruly and disgruntled barbarians.

Therefore, when the barbarians were useless to the country, "slave hunting" became an abandoned dead word, only seen in ancient books, and the barbarians also became one of the "three evils" of civilized countries, and when countries were not at war with each other, the army relied on fighting with the barbarians to maintain combat effectiveness and drive the barbarians out of the border.

It was not until Dima started the industrialization named by Boligu that the labor required by all walks of life increased almost every day, and soon the displaced people in the cities were swept away.

Thus, in this context, the term "slave hunting" began to revivenation, that is, the capture of barbarians as workers, although in the beginning, slave hunting was only a spontaneous and non-large-scale act.

The area where Siber can "catch slaves" is basically in the south, so slave hunting is also euphemistically called "southern barbarian trade", the reason why it is basically in the south is that there was a brief time to go to the north to hunt slaves, that is, the town of Newton's birthplace, Linco Town, is located in Ehiado.

The majestic Nara Mountains have helped Fei Argon to stop Sibo for more than a hundred years, and the north-south Nara Mountains are surrounded by mountain forests that are not easy to develop, the largest of which is the forest near the north coast, where there are many barbarians, but anyway, by the time Zhong Ming was born, all the barbarians there had been captured.

After the revival of "slave hunting", the first wave of climax was after the "badge bubble" burst, and a large number of bankrupt citizens fled to the south, at first to avoid debts, and then took advantage of the geographical advantage to begin to accept local commissions, capture slaves and transport them back to the homeland to sell to factories.

However, the slave hunters who ran over at the first climax were very few, because this wave of people sounded like they were outcasts, and they were "mobs" and did not pay taxes to the state, so there was no altar where they lived, and if there was no altar, the curse and plague of the barbarians made the annual mortality rate of these slave hunters as high as 70%.

But it is precisely thanks to this group of slave hunters, it is their pioneering efforts to open up the wasteland, build basic dirt roads, and open up small colonial strongholds, which laid the foundation for a new group of slave hunters, that is, Zhong Ming VII Zu Togodo, these group of slave hunters are the real founders of the slave hunting cause.

Soon after the Togolese group participated in the slave hunt, the official Taugocha also began to fund the slave hunt, and the "Taugocha Lingmen Gun" for slave hunting came into being in 2508, and in 2510 he promoted the official recognition of the slave hunting business by Sib, and the slave hunting sites were officially established as cities with altars.

Then, in 2515, the Bill of Taugocha was promulgated, which was regulated by Dima (then the capital of Siber) as a "labor intermediary", and there was no slave problem in Sib, and those captured slaves were called "indentured laborers".

What is the effect of the name change provisions of the Taugocha Act? This can also be seen from the dialogue between Zhong Ming and the fat merchant nearly 200 years later.

However, it is one thing that the actual practitioners are not interested in it, and it is also another thing that does change the future of the barbarian slaves, at least now there is a theoretical way out.

According to other relevant provisions of the Taugocha Act, "indentured workers" are special workers who are used exclusively to work in high-risk industries, such as miners and diggers, and can be released as normal persons after a certain number of years of service.

In fact, it would be good to take a look at this provision, even if Sibo is a worker in an "ordinary" industry, as long as he enters the factory, his life is already countdown, and if there is no sudden death and accidents, it will only be about ten years at most, and this is still an "ordinary" industry, not to mention a "high-risk" industry.

However, there is still an exception to one type of industry, that is, the raw material production industry, which requires a large number of workers and low remuneration, and people can not be recruited without relying on "contract workers", and the growers will treat the "contract workers" they buy relatively better.

After nearly 100 years of development, the slave capture stronghold developed into a small town, and the town gradually became a dotted city, and in 2602, Siber officially established these special cities as the "slave hunting province", under the jurisdiction of 3 cities, Taugocha, Flochi, and Pei Siqi, which are all famous leaders of the Taugocha family.

The fact that the slave-catching provinces did not have a capital and that their own businesses were competitive, resulted in a tendency for the slave-catching provinces to be less separating than those of the agricultural provinces, although they were very different from the mainland.

The three cities of the slave hunting province have their own merits, Taugocha was the earliest, the closest to the mainland, the most convenient transportation, but also the least barbarians; Pei Siqi and the mainland do not border at all, and if you want to transport the barbarians back to the mainland, you either have to go through Taugocha or pass through Floch, and a layer of taxes is removed out of thin air; Floch is in between.

The above is the situation when the slave-hunting province was first established, and now more than 80 years have passed since the establishment of the slave-hunting province, and the situation is very different.

Southern Sib Province is a relatively poor province, as the only two provinces when Sib started, Southern Sib Province is also considered to be brilliant, but after the expansion of Sib, the administrative division of the Southern Sib Province of high-ranking officials makes its transportation inconvenient, but it is more convenient to communicate directly with Sib Province.

This was the means of the Sib to balance the separation of the Southern Sib Province at the beginning, but this made the Southern Sib Province suffer, and when the Sib Province became more and more, the Southern Sib Province itself was torn into many parts, and the most important thing is that it was poor.

The panicked province of Southern Sib also set up two new main cities in the south, and Damertai was responsible for buying the trade captured by Floch - after all, if Frochi didn't sell his slaves to Damertai, he had to sell them to Taugocha, which was not even a thought.

The other main city of the Southern Siber province was Lusenado, Lusenado did no trade, he was also a master city dedicated to slave hunting, known as a city carved out of the forest, because Lusenado was founded by cutting down countless trees in the south, and he captured slaves and sold them to Uchichencha.

As for the slave hunting province, after more than 80 years, Taugocha no longer engaged in the slave hunting trade, because the local slaves have basically been captured or escaped, and there are no slaves, so Taugocha is now dedicated to the slave trade.

Two new main cities were established in the province of slave hunting, namely Natababa and Matikuluf, both of which were converted from the local vernacular, most of which were built by the Ruiying from Lina Province and sold slaves to Yoruranado in Lina Province, while Nata Baba sold his and Pei Siqi's slaves to Taugocha.

Taugocha has now become the faint capital of the slave hunting province, that is, even Floch sells slaves to Tagocha from time to time, and Tagocha will sell to the surrounding New York Mando and Cono, these two cities as the final source of shipment, it can be said that the slave hunting province is involved in the surrounding cities.

The above is the general situation of today's slave hunting business, and Zhong Ming's fluent introduction made the fat businessman nod his head and praise, and said that the investment object he was looking for was quite correct, and more importantly, Zhong Ming's status was low and easy to control, and the second was that he was young and strong and full of intrusion, not like those slave hunters who were dull and old fritters.
