Chapter 53, only the strong have the right to speak

Li Wandu looked at the many slaves in the cage, and many of her eyes showed longing, because she was afraid of being shocked, so she didn't dare to shout like before, and seemed to be using her eyes to express her inner emotions.

Being locked in a cage like a beast, people are dying every day, or fighting between slaves, or diseases, etc., to survive until now, each one is quite not easy, and many seem to have accepted their fate, since they accept their fate, it is better to be sold as soon as possible, maybe they can find a better owner, at least they don't have to be locked in a cage.

"Why don't we buy some slaves?"

Ding Xiaoqiang couldn't bear it in his heart, and discussed it with Li Fu and said.

"No, our empire has a very strict population policy, and our empire does not allow the existence of slaves, and in what name did we take in these people at that time, and it will also put a very serious issue on our imperial government, and put it on the people of our empire."

"When the time comes, will our empire open slavery or not? Do you want to accept foreign civilized races? It will become a very serious topic for our entire empire, after all, we only need the descendants of Yan and Huang to immigrate now, let alone these aliens. ”

Li Wandu shook his head, after all, he thought farther, in the imperial family, he had been in contact with Li Fu and many imperial government officials since he was a child, his vision and thinking were naturally different, and many things were not just looking at the present.

Buying these slaves is very simple, and it seems to have done a good thing, so that these slaves can get rid of their original fate, but once these slaves enter the empire, what kind of identity should the empire treat, this is worth thinking about.

"Alas, I also look at them as pitiful."

Ding Xiaoqiang sighed softly, turned his gaze, and no longer looked at the slave in the cage, because those eyes were really unbearable, and he couldn't help but want to reach out to help.

"It's a pity that there is no way, our empire has the rules of our empire, the upper class has the considerations of the upper class, and we don't open slavery naturally have its reasons, and the strict restrictions on foreign immigrants are also for the sake of our Yan and Huang descendants for the long term."

Li Wandu also turned his head and stopped looking.

"Two, don't you think about buying some slaves to go back? You see, this Hudson is strong, very muscular, and definitely a very good laborer, and it must be good to buy it back and use it for some farm work or something. ”

"And this petite, smooth-skinned Catwoman is also a good toy on the bed, and it's guaranteed to be a lot of fun to buy back."

The stall owner saw that Li Wandu and Ding Xiaoqiang both turned around and stopped looking at the slaves, and quickly promoted the alliance, the Hudson people he said were generally 2 meters tall, all of them were muscular, wearing coarse linen clothes, and the other aliens next to them were very tacitly far away from them, obviously not easy to mess with.

As for Catwoman, it is a group of scantily clad and fair-skinned people with fluffy cat ears and tails, petite figures, a group snuggled together, looking at everything around them vigilantly with fearful eyes.

"No need, our empire doesn't allow slaves."

Ding Xiaoqiang shook his head and looked at the slave in the cage again, his eyes were also full of helplessness.

"Slaves are not allowed? Your empire's laws are really weird, well, guests can take a look at other things, it's all very good. ”

When the stall owner heard this, he was slightly surprised, and then he also promoted other things, in the interstellar universe, it is not impossible to have civilizations that do not allow slaves, but very, very few, most civilizations allow slaves to be raised, because slaves are also a very important resource.

Not to mention anything else, just engaged in some manual labor, dirty work, etc., slaves have a very large market, and a very important use is the slave colosseum, which is also the most consumed place among interstellar slaves, and there will be countless slave colosseums in almost every civilization.

I don't know how many slaves die every day at the hands of other slaves, and in the entire interstellar universe, the overture of slaves is very large, and it has also given birth to a huge interstellar slave trade industry.

From the capture, training, and listing of slaves, a whole complete black industry chain, I don't know how many civilized races are being turned into slaves by these interstellar slave traders, and the goods are constantly sold in the black market.

Of course, this black industry chain is black for the empire, and the empire strictly prohibits human trafficking and trafficking, and there has not been a single human trafficking incident in the empire so far.

However, for other civilizations in the interstellar world, as long as they are not people who sell their own civilizations, the slave trade is legal and open, and even the governments of these civilizations can collect a large amount of taxes from it, which is quite supportive of the interstellar slave industry.

In these civilizations, interstellar slaves are openly sold and operated, and everyone can legally buy and raise slaves, and slaves are like a commodity, and the master can dispose of them at will.

"Let's go, let's go ahead and see."

Li Wandu shook his head with a smile and continued to stroll, the entire trade area was very wide, and the soldiers of the Karan Empire had set up a long trade corridor.

"Brother Li, why do you say that our empire does not allow the existence of slavery? Obviously, our empire is now sparsely populated, sparsely populated, and needs a very large number of laborers, if the slavery system is allowed to exist and there are a large number of slaves, the development of our empire can be very fast. ”

Ding Xiaoqiang was still struggling with the slavery system at this time, and his mind was full of thinking about this issue.

"The empire naturally has imperial considerations, because of the existence of slavery in our human history, many powerful empires have fallen to the ground, like the very famous ancient Roman Empire, the slavery system has long been the glory of the ancient Roman Empire, but it is also because of the slaves that the ancient Roman Empire was completely destroyed."

"The use of a large number of slaves in order to make the imperial nation itself more lazy is very detrimental to the long-term development of our empire, and it is easy to quickly wear out the fine and diligent qualities that our Chinese nation has cultivated for thousands of years."

"In addition, the existence of slaves is a very unstable factor in itself, although the current technological means are becoming more and more sophisticated, and the control is stronger, but after all, slaves are not animals that do not know anything, and the potential risks are very large."

"I think that's an important reason why our empire doesn't allow slavery to exist, and the leaders of the empire must have taken a long-term view when they think about it."

Li Wandu explained to Ding Xiaoqiang with a smile as she walked.

"I see."

Ding Xiaoqiang nodded suddenly after hearing this.

"These interstellar slave trade is still very prosperous, you see that there are more or less slaves in this stall, you look carefully at their eyes, do you see the raging anger, especially those slaves from who have initiated civilization, although they are well hidden, but they may erupt at any time."

Li Wandu strolled around casually, looking at the slaves in cages on the stalls.

"Well, I can clearly feel the anger burning in their hearts, and if I am sold as slaves in the interstellar universe, I will do the same."

"That's it, they're calm now, that's because now even no matter what, it's useless, so either they die in silence, or they explode in silence, and slavery itself is a huge risk, not to mention people, even animals will have times to resist."

"I have to say that it is a kind of sadness, a free person in the civilized world, in the blink of an eye, has become an interstellar slave, being sold as a beast at will in the universe."

"We should be glad, glad that we live in an empire, we live in a strong country, we have enough strength to protect our people, weakness is not a sin, but no one in the universe will sympathize with the weak, only more wanton bullying."

Li Wandu let out a long sigh.

"You look at the soldiers of the Kalan Empire, they are smiling at us one by one, that's because we won them, that's why they are like this, you look at the things they sell, there are a few of these things that they bought with their own money, basically they were snatched from the indigenous planet."

"Not only robbing you of your wealth, but also selling you as a slave, this is the treatment of a weak civilization, without the slightest right to speak, can only be slaughtered at will."

Li Wandu pointed to a stall and said to Ding Xiaoqiang.

"Well, because we won the battle against them, that's why they respect us and grovel to us, and the civilization where these slaves belong lost to them, so not only did they lose their wealth, but they also became interstellar slaves, the law of the forest of Chiguoguo."

Ding Xiaoqiang nodded, as if he had figured out something in his heart.

"So, I feel the responsibility and burden on my shoulders, if it weren't for the efforts of our predecessors to develop science and technology and strengthen ourselves, maybe today we would be like these slaves, being sold in the universe like commodities."

"In other words, if we don't work hard today to develop technology and improve the strength of our empire, then one day in the future, we will encounter a more powerful civilization, and it is very likely that our children and grandchildren will encounter what these slaves have today."

"Look at the history of our descendants of Yan and Huang, only when we continue to grow stronger, can we be able to deter the Quartet, and whenever we are weak, it is the suffering of our descendants of Yan and Huang."

"So, seeing what happened to these slaves, thinking of the past and the future, I feel as if there is a mountain pressing on my shoulders, and in the interstellar universe, only the strong have the right to speak."
