592 [Slave Trade]
The young patrol officer is called Liu Chuanzong, who was born in a military family in the Ming Dynasty. 's father is just a small general banner, and his family background has been broken, and nothing has been passed on to him except for a martial arts.
In the Datong Army, listening to the missionary explaining the "Datong Collection", his thinking became more upright and bright.
The next day, Liu Chuanzong was called by his boss to talk.
Several of his superiors are also veterans. After some small talk, he quickly got closer to his feelings, and then reasoned that foreign slaves were not Chinese, so they didn't have to abide by the set in "Datong Ji".
Liu Chuanzong subconsciously obeyed the order, but when he returned to the patrol dormitory, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it should not be like this.
When he went back to look for the rescued girl, he found that the girl was missing and had been returned to the brothel. Liu Chuanzong was very angry about this, and went to his boss again to reason, but was angrily reprimanded and gave him a major demerit.
In the midst of the confusion, Liu Chuanzong worked for half a month.
"Take it." Fan Liang threw a string of copper coins. Fan Liang was the elder patrol officer that day, and he patrolled the streets with Liu Chuanzong for a long time.
Liu Chuanzong looked at the copper coin and wondered, "What is this?" ”
Fan Liang explained with a smile: "Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water." We are patrolling officers in the Qinhuai River, so we naturally have to eat the rouge money of the Qinhuai River. ”
"Accepted...... Bribery? Liu Chuanzong couldn't believe it.
Fan Liang said: "What do you mean by taking bribes? We didn't break the law, and we didn't break the rules of the court. Don't worry, it's not black money. If those brothels dare to force the countrymen, they will definitely be brought to justice. They taught Fanbang women, we can't control this, just turn a blind eye and forget it. ”
Liu Chuanzong asked, "This money, every month?" ”
Fan Liang said: "There are all there every month, it's not much, I can only buy a dozen catties of rice, and it's good to have a long stream of water." ”
Liu Chuanzong was silent, every patrol officer has it, and those Shangguan must also have it, and they must take more money.
Datong New Dynasty, it shouldn't be like this!
Moreover, if the money came from somewhere else, Liu Chuanzong might be able to reluctantly accept it. But this is the flesh and skin money of the brothel, which is obtained from a hard-working woman, and Liu Chuanzong will be dirty when he gets it!
Fan Liang saw that he was not angry, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't be confused, you have to live this life." You're a veteran, am I? I was still a 12-year veteran of Chongzhen, I was too old to be laid off, and I went home to farm for a few years. I heard that Nanjing has expanded the recruitment of police, and I came to the city to sign up the year before last. Luckily, I was assigned to the Qinhuai River as a patrol officer, and the oil and water here are thicker than elsewhere. ”
"You didn't learn "Datong Ji" when you were a soldier?" Liu Chuanzong asked.
"I've learned," Fan Liang said, "I've told you everything, Fanbang women are not Chinese, and they are considered citizens even if they don't have a hukou?" Since it's not a citizen, then let's not care about it, it's not a violation of "Datong Ji". ”
Liu Chuanzong asked, "If the brothel didn't commit any crimes, then why did you send money to the police officer?" ”
Fan Liang said with a smile: "Whether it is a low-level Goolan Tile House or a high-level Qinglou compound, this kind of business will never be seen in the end." Those Fanbang women, although they are not people, are still individuals. It is inevitable that some disobedient people will be beaten half to death, or even beaten to death by mistake. The government can manage it or not. Whether it is managed or not, it depends on whether the money is given enough. ”
"How can this be reasonable, human life is child's play!" Liu Chuanzong was filled with righteous indignation when he heard this, clenched his fists and trembled.
Fan Liang had a little pain in his head, and said depressedly: "Why can't you understand?" Those are all Fanbang women, bought as piglets. This Han woman from the Qinhuai River immigrates to the north dozens of times a year, and no matter how many prostitutes there are, they can't stand it. In today's Qinhuai River, at least sixty percent of the prostitutes are bought from Fanbang. Your Majesty doesn't care, can you and I manage it? ”
Liu Chuanzong said: "Your Majesty doesn't care, you must be blinded by Xiaoxiao!" He threw the string of copper coins to the ground, "Such dirty money, staining my hands for nothing!" ”
"Really?" Fan Liang asked.
"Don't!" Liu Chuanzong was categorical.
Fan Liang felt that something was going to happen, so he had to go to his boss again, saying that the new partner was a stunned young man.
Before the boss could react, something was already wrong.
Jinling Mansion, Department of Integrity and Integrity.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the headquarters of the anti-corruption department, but the office is located in the imperial city, and Liu Chuanzong can't enter at all, so he can only come to the Jinling Mansion Anti-corruption Department to report.
A scribe received him, took out a pen and paper and recorded it according to the process: "Name, occupation." ”
Liu Chuanzong said: "Liu Chuanzong, the willow of the willow tree, the ancestor of the lineage." He used to be the commander of the cavalry division of the Datong Army, and is currently the patrol officer of the Qinhuai Hebei area of Shangyuan County, Jinling Prefecture. ”
Nanjing City is divided into Shangyuan and Jiangning counties, Shangyuan County is in the north of Qinhuai River, and Jiangning County is in the south of Qinhuai River, and there are brothels on both sides of the Qinhuai River.
The scribe continued: "Who reported the corruption and perversion of the law?" ”
Liu Chuanzong said: "The police officers on both sides of the Qinhuai River accept bribes from brothels. Every month, it's the norm. ”
The scribe shook his hand with the pen, and looked at Liu Chuanzong in surprise, this is the nest case at the feet of the Son of Heaven!
After a while, the scribe said, "Tell me what you know." ”
After making the record, the scribe did not dare to slack off, and even did not dare to let Liu Chuanzong go, and immediately went to inform the chief official of the Anti-Corruption Department.
This matter is too big, involving the police forces of the two counties in the capital, and most of those policemen are retired Datong soldiers, and there may be some grandfather and Hou Ye's old department. The Jinling Prefecture Anti-Corruption Department did not dare to act rashly, and immediately reported it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which almost poured out of the nest and began to investigate.
Yingmin Temple.
Zhao Han flipped through the file and asked casually, "All arrested?" ”
Xiao Huan replied: "All of them have been arrested, the police officers on both sides of the Qinhuai River, except for the whistleblower Liu Chuanzong, none of the others have collected all the money." The person who accepts the most bribes shall receive 200 silver dollars per month; Those who accept the least bribes will receive 100 copper coins per month. ”
"In the land of wind and moon, there is a lot of oil and water, this matter is not unusual," Zhao Han was not angry, but only ordered, "Those who accept bribes of more than one silver dollar per month will be punished severely; Those who accept bribes of 300 yuan per month will be dealt with according to the regulations; Those who accept bribes of less than 300 yuan per month can be dismissed from their posts and recover the stolen goods. ”
It seems that the severity of the punishment is measured by the amount of bribes, but in fact, it is dealt with by the power of official positions.
Those who accept the most bribes must have real power, and the officials are relatively large.
In this case, Zhao Han's focus is elsewhere, that is, there are a large number of foreign women in brothels around the country.
How to deal with it?
Zhao Han asked, "Where did those Fanbang women buy them?" ”
Xiao Huan replied: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate has asked the brothels in detail, and the female slaves of Fanbang are divided into these types. ”
"The first is a mix of blacks, Nanyang and Japanese, mainly from Macao, and all of them are descendants of slaves. More than 100 years ago, the Jesuits began to breed, breed and trade slaves in Macao. ”
"The second type is women from Japan and North Korea. Prostitutes from all over the country were sent to the north every year, and the brothels teamed up with some maritime merchants to buy women from Japan and Korea; ”
"The third type is a woman from Nanyang. Spain and the Netherlands captured the indigenous women of the South Seas and sold them to our Celestial Empire to earn gold and silver. These Nanyang women, who are not in good shape and face, are mainly sold to low-grade Goolan Vashe. Others were sold to large families as slaves. They even sold Nanyang men to large households as tenant farmers. Those Nanyang men ......"
"Say!" Zhao Han felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Huan was silent for a few seconds: "I settled down for the people and divided the fields, and I continued to emigrate to the north. The gentry of the southern provinces, who actively cooperated with the division of land, could keep 20 acres of land for each person in their families, but how could they cultivate it if they could not recruit tenants? There are also nobles in the court, who have made war exploits and rewarded land, and their land will be even more. Although the natives of Nanyang are not good at farming, they can do more than animals. ”
Zhao Han understood that the nobles of the court, as well as the gentry of the previous dynasty, had too much land to recruit tenants, so he bought Nanyang natives to farm the land.
Good guys, Lao Tzu immigrated to Nanyang to the Han Chinese, and you actually bought natives from Nanyang to return to China.
But it has to be said that this kind of behavior did not violate the law.
In ancient times, there was no distinction between nationalities, and you could not issue passports to foreign workers.
"Go on." Zhao Han said.
Xiao Huan said: "The fourth type is the Persian woman. Persian women come from, one from Batavia and one from Banten. the Dutch, who transported the Persian women to Batavia; Other European merchants brought Persian women to Banten. The Chinese merchants, on the other hand, opened businesses in these two cities, bought Persian women, taught them piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then shipped them back to our country for sale. ”
The Persian women here are not purely from Persia.
Some are from the Ottomans, some are from Persia, and some are from India. Since Chinese pleasure seekers like to be white and beautiful, they are all whites. Mainly prisoners of war, followed by religious prisoners, and again by relatives trafficked or kidnapped.
The Ottomans, Persians, and Mughals of India were always at war, and they were particularly fond of selling prisoners of war as slaves.
In Ottoman and Persia, sectarian struggles were very brutal, and sometimes massacres were carried out, and the trafficking of women from rival sects was purely incidental business.
South India was not yet occupied by the Mughals, and the Mughal Empire continued to invade south. Many of the princely state nobles of South India resisted fiercely, and after the Mughal conquest of the princely states, the die-hard high-caste nobles were often killed. The British seized the opportunity to do business and transported high-caste white women to Banten for resale to Chinese maritime merchants.
Zhao Han's policy of dividing land, immigration, and brothel rectification all stimulated the slave trade. As a result, the slave trade in East Asia flourished countless times more than in history, and China became one of the main consumers of the global slave trade.
Britain did not have a colonial foothold in the South Seas, but it had good relations with the Mughal emperors of India. These guys even hit the untouchables with their ideas, wanting to sell the untouchables to China to farm for the big families - the untouchables are not human beings anyway, and if they are caught, they will be a lot, and no matter how much they are caught, they will not cause trouble.
Zhao Han's original intention was to abolish slavery, but unwittingly, a large number of foreign slaves were created in China.
It's a bit sad.
