267 The path to nonviolent law enforcement
Perhaps the gods also heard the distress of the former pirate leader, who had finally turned into a "good citizen", was cut off half of the money before he could cover it, or perhaps the gods were grateful to the former pirate leader for making a rare generous donation to the church (albeit the nominal Orthodox Church) after robbing a number of churches, monasteries, and Orthodox nobles, in short, they were not bored at once.
Before the archbishop could reach the bottom of the ladder, he heard the lookout shout excitedly: "Boat! Corsair! ”
"Oops! God willing, the market is finally open! Hearing this "good news," all the men on board the "Flying Santsina" were radiant, and they immediately took their positions under the command of the captain, drew their sails and oars, and pounced on the poor prey like a tiger descending from a mountain, although the poor prey had come out with a hunting heart.
Moments later, there was a mess of floating debris on the surface of the sea.
The fishing netners on the ship pulled the floating objects and pirates to the ship one by one, and to everyone's disappointment, the pirate ship had not had time to do much business before it was knocked off by them, and the ship was not large, and their harvest was pitiful, and the most valuable thing was probably the pirates on board.
In the next port, the Neustrians sold all the pirates.
"What should you do if you encounter pirates on the road?" Before the "Flying Santsina sailed", there was such a discussion in the court of Her Majesty the Queen, "If you don't fight, you can't do it, if you fight, will there be a problem of cross-regional law enforcement?" Will the local government complain about us? "This kind of idiotic question, needless to say, who asked it.
"Ahem, all pirates are running off the coast. It means that there is certainly no navy there. Jason calculated for her, "Cross-district law enforcement...... Before they accuse, they should weigh whether it will annoy us and enforce the law together! After all, we can go to them to fight pirates, but they can't go to us to fight pirates, which fully shows which navy is strong! Again. This is also to eliminate harm for the people, we will destroy one more pirate ship. There will be one less pirate ship at sea, so the sea will be safe and the sea trade will increase! ”
"Sea trade is money!" Someone eagerly added.
"In addition, if the sea is peaceful, communication between countries will increase, and sea routes that would have been cut off due to danger will be reopened...... In this way, there may be new crops, new processes...... Spread the word to us in Neustria! ”
"Yes." Her Majesty the Queen nodded her head to the guò. The latter sentence convinced her that the productivity of the new crops and processes was what she desired.
As soon as this policy was formulated, they began to discuss what to do if they caught pirates.
In the past, their method of dealing with the captured pirates was to pull them to the quarry and let them throw stones to defend the sea frontier of Neustria, but on the way to the Eternal City, it was obviously impossible to get the warship to turn around and send the captured pirates back, and to bring them all the way to the Eternal City and back again, it would consume too many supplies, and there was no empty space on the ship to accommodate them! It's just that there are vacancies. Where are the extra guards to watch them not make trouble?
The opinions of the ministers were simple to sum up, sell these guys as slaves in the nearest port!
"Well, this isn't good." The Great Demon King was a little mindful that she was going to turn into a slave trader, and she felt that human trafficking was ...... This one. It's a bit of a ...... "This is a betrayal, what will the guys of the future say about me?" She struggled. Although she knows that the guys of the afterlife. As for how many slaves there are in the family of a certain official and a wealthy man, it is relished. It is even sometimes cited as evidence of how happy the common people of a certain dynasty lived - how comfortable and comfortable it was for women at that time to sell themselves to the rich family's homes as maids and concubines! However, looking back at what he had done, the Great Demon King felt that those who praised the ancients would definitely not be happy to praise her, not to mention anything else, look at the chimneys she erected in her territory!
Recently, a brick kiln, a paper mill, and an iron mill have been built here in Aronael......
Look at the miserable nobles who were deprived of their territories and castles by her......
The Great Demon King didn't have much hope for his image in the afterlife. Killing slaves with a rod is the style of a noble lady of the family; Trafficking in pirates is a self-seeking act that does not respect the human rights of the ancients (indeed).
"It's easy, just let them volunteer." His Excellency the Archbishop easily solved the question, "If they voluntarily sell themselves, can they be considered selling?" Indeed, even in the 21st century, there are people who are shouting that voluntary selling should be legalized, and in the Middle Ages, of course, it was more reasonable and legal!
"But will they sell it voluntarily? What if they don't sell voluntarily? ”
"Hey—they're not willing, aren't we going to beat them with sticks?" Adair almost laughed out loud, "You don't have to really beat it, take a stick strong enough, and drive two nails five or six inches long on it, and shake it in front of them, and they will sell themselves voluntarily." ”
"Well, this is a cheat." Only an idiot like Luo Yi would point through the essence of this "voluntary" like this, the professor of the 21st century also wrote in his paper in a serious way, brothel owners do not force prostitutes to sell, they are all voluntary, the way is to first invite the little girl who has just come out of the remote countryside and does not know the price to eat, and then intimidate them not to be prostitutes, and they can not pay off their debts by being ordinary clerks without getting 500 yuan a month, "The little girl who just came out to work does not know (how much is a few meals and how much is the minimum wage), it is easy to deceive", " Rope tying and beating are rare", so prostitutes are voluntary, and this kind of thing of asking the little girl to eat a few meals first and then asking the little girl to voluntarily sell herself for the rest of her life to pay for a few meals is more merciful than Huang Shiren, and should be greatly legalized, and should not be harassed by the police and the courts.
"Where, this is non-violent law enforcement, we didn't really fight, they voluntarily chose to sell themselves, didn't they?"
"This ......" uses Adair's method, which is indeed in line with "non-violence" (not really fighting) and "voluntary" (really voluntary), and it is estimated that CCTV will claim that this is absolutely non-violent...... Well, non-violent law enforcement, just like they claim that forced selling is a non-violent crime, but Luo Yi still feels a little inappropriate, "Can you really ensure that it is voluntary?" ”
"Of course!" Adair swore to her, "How many people keep saying that no matter how premeditated and prepared a man is, a woman cannot be forced X if she is not willing, even if this kind of premeditation is enough to bring down an elephant, and it is her voluntarily to force X a woman." Those pirates are stronger and stronger than women, and there are no old people, children, or disabled people—so if they don't want to, can we sell them forcibly? ”
This sentence is reasonable, the Great Demon King put up a white flag, and the matter of selling pirates was decided and resolutely enforced. (To be continued......)
