Chapter 793 Although the Ming Dynasty is big, not an inch of territory is superfluous The capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there was a vicious incident of the princess being robbed by the Ming, which is not a trivial matter.As Jin Yiwei reported this matter, Quan Xu was not angry, Quan Mu looked a little dangerous, in fact, there was no danger, there were ten people under the shadow guard, not to mention this kind of thief, even if it was a good killer, he might not be able to succeed.Of course, Panorama was frightened, after all, she was still a girl under the age of nine.Quan Xu wanted to take time to comfort his eldest daughter, but he never thought that the Xuanying Wei Statistics Bureau had made an intelligence summary of the boys and girls who had been abducted and trafficked in recent years, and seeing this number made Quan Xu frown.According to incomplete statistics, more than 13,000 parents reported to the government that their children had been abducted and trafficked.There are very few cases of this kind of thing in rural areas and towns.This is because in this era, unlike the large flow of people in later generations, in the countryside, as long as a stranger comes, everyone will know immediately, in addition, the flow of people in the countryside is small, the people are simple, and the children of every family basically know each other, and the cost of abducting and selling children is too high and too difficult.It is relatively easy in the city, the pace of life in the city is different from that in the countryside, and the flow of people is large, so it is very easy for criminals to succeed.This is only the data of the five northern provinces, but what about the whole country?
There will only be more, but not less.Seeing that Quan Xu was a little displeased, Niu Jinxing was very happy in his heart, he made the right bet, Quan Xu really attached great importance to this matter.Quan Xu asked, "Why are there so many kidnappers?"
”Quan Xu was puzzled, the level of medical technology in ancient times was too low, and the sale of human organs has not yet met the technical requirements, and as for overseas personnel, this is even more impossible.Although it is said that going abroad now is not as difficult as in later generations, at least the people of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what way they leave the Ming Dynasty, there is no such thing as refusal to enter the country.Niu Jinxing bowed down and said: "According to the minister's investigation, this kind of child abduction and trafficking, it is better to be under the age of six, except for a very small number of children who will be sold to families who cannot have children, in order to be adopted sons and daughters, most of the children will be sold to large families, that is, the gentry family, they will buy the children, unified screening, separate training.Or a slave or a slave for the family, or a servant and a servant!
”Quan Xu, the landlord, is actually a fake place.Like at the beginning, he actually took in many teenagers, such as Qiao Mengen, who has grown up now, Yuan Zongdi, who was promoted to major general and commander of the 10th Division, and Hua An, commander of the 18th Strike Group of the Third Fleet, and so on.Theoretically speaking, they were all raised by Quan Xu, including Xin Yue, a top student of the current Royal Academy of Medicine, these people were raised by Quan Xu, Quan Xu did not sign a deed of sale with them, but they all grew up eating Quan Xu's food.However, many landlords and gentry would buy some children, who were actually more expensive than adults, and of course, in the event of natural and man-made disasters, it would be cheaper and cheaper.Human traffickers usually don't do it in the years of famine, so they are not profitable, and the more the season is fair, the more prosperous the people's lives, this kind of thing will happen from time to time.According to Niu Jinxing's statistics, nearly one-third of the children who are trafficked and sold are sold to families who cannot have children and serve as adopted children.Nearly one-third of the girls are adopted daughters and child daughters-in-law, and two-thirds of them, a little less, will be sold to the family of the guardian.Cultivated since childhood, some of them are sold to Qinglou brothels, or to cultivate Yangzhou thin horses, as well as scholars' training institutes.In this era, the scholar is second only to Yangzhou Thin Horse.Because some scholars, such as Hou Sui, not only like women, but also men.Quan Xu suddenly recalled the August 3rd Strike Hard Incident, and many self-media and business accounts in later generations would often publish that someone died because of the Strike Hard.In fact, in Quan Xu's view, this strike hard is indispensable, an authoritarian rectification action that must be carried out, and many people will say that they are unjustly killed for harassing women.They didn't think about it from the perspective of that era, when there were still many women who committed suicide because they were hurt by outlaws.Quan Xu decided to carry out the strike hard work in the first year of Dingxin, which was not aimed at fights and brawls, but only at the abduction and trafficking of children and women, and also included the abduction and luring of adult men.Because, Quan Xu's investigation report on Niu Jinxing also found that some private coal kilns or brick factories, in order to make huge profits, kept thugs in captivity and guarded slave labor.Most of these slave laborers were lured by high salaries, and in later generations, there was no crime of abducting and selling adult men, but adult men are not omnipotent, and they are also a vulnerable group.In fact, there are ambiguities in the vulnerable groups targeted by the law, such as old men and aunts, who are fighting in square dances, shopping malls, hypermarkets, and buses.It is no exaggeration to say that some men and women with poor physical fitness are really not the opponents of the old man and the aunt.It's the same with men, one to one, or no problem, but what about a group of people to one?
If the trafficking fails, it directly turns into open robbery, and some men have to comply.Before the Spring Festival, Quan Xu convened a meeting of the relevant departments of the Legislative Council, the court, and the Public Security Bureau to discuss the punishment of child abduction and trafficking.Fortunately, the Daming Law itself is very serious about the crime of child abduction and trafficking, and the punishment of Ling Chi is adopted for human traffickers, and even if the families of human traffickers do not know about it, they cannot escape the punishment of Zhulian, confiscating all family property and then exiled for 2,000 miles; As for accomplices involved in child abuse, the death penalty is also unavoidable, and the lightest sentence is the crime of killing the head.For example, there was a crime at that time called "harvesting and cutting".In layman's terms, it means intentionally causing a child to be disabled, and once the offender is caught, regardless of whether the principal offender is an accomplice, he will be sentenced to Ling Chi.Because of the different definitions in the law, Quan Xu does not need to ask the legislator to urgently amend the law, and can directly implement it in accordance with the Daming Law.Meng Zhaoxiang, minister of the Central Public Security Department, served as the head of the special strike-hard leading group, Jinyiwei commanded Quan Gan, and Xuanyingwei commanded Niu Jinxing as deputy leaders of the special leading group.Cabinet ministers, officials of various provinces and ministries, and concurrently members of the leading group, all provinces, governments, prefectures, and counties must fully cooperate with the rectification.In the latest issue of the Daming Times, there was no trace of the Nanjing Incident, nor did it publish any information about the Nile Controversy.However, in the supplement, an issue was published in which the ship, Shijingshan, a large ocean-going ship belonging to the Nanyang Development Company, was attacked by the Ottoman Navy, resulting in injuries to two crew members and the loss of several cargo......
Most people were attracted by the news of trafficking, and they speculated whether it would affect their interests, but Helena saw something unusual.Helena had traveled back and forth between the city-states of Venice more than a dozen times, and at the age of fourteen she began to sail, and now she is the mother of her children.More than half of her life is actually at sea, and she knows too much about the situation at sea.Africa is called Africa, and the Indian Ocean in the East is directly called the Indian Ocean.In fact, Daming's ships would only reach Sri Lanka as far as possible, and rarely reach the Red Sea, and as for this ship called "Shijingshan", she had never heard of it at all.As for the Ottoman navy attacking the Ming ships, this is a bit unlikely.The rise of the Ming Dynasty's naval strength is not completely blocked, in fact, European countries have begun to face up to this ancient country from the side.They know a little bit that the Ming Dynasty began to enter the twilight of the empire more than ten years ago, and the army has lost its combat capability, and the scourge of its own people is even more powerful than that of the rogue, and the ability of officials to harm the common people is even more powerful than that of officers and soldiers......
Natural disasters, man-made disasters, rogue gangsters, foreign enemies, and cool politics......
These most horrible things are pushing this country into the abyss of hell......
They even lamented that the golden age of Marco Polo's golden kingdom governed by sages was in danger of being brought to an end, but the problem was that Jeon Wook rose like a meteor, and he used blood and steel to reglue the kingdom that had fallen into disarray.The Dutch failed, were driven away from Taiwan by the Ming Dynasty, and expelled Nanyang.The Spaniards also failed, they lost not only Taiwan, but also Luzon, and now even Mindanao, which will be lost at any time.The fact that the Spaniards in Mindanao, who had a maximum of more than 5,000 people, are now less than 2,000, a decrease of two-thirds, shows that even the Spaniards are not optimistic about the future of the Spaniards in the East.Of course, the Portuguese needless to say, they only have a stronghold in Macau in Daming.This stronghold, the Portuguese envoy who had been officially noted by the Quan, the Portuguese also wanted to repeat the old trick, taking gold and silver to bribe the officials of the Ming Dynasty in order to obtain a legal position in Macao.It's just a pity that no one dares to collect the gold they carry.The Portuguese, who had no way out, had already begged for a way to Helena's head.Helena was a little puzzled, with Quanxu's person, he was very greedy for gold, although he didn't know where he used it, in short, he had earned at least one hundred and sixty tons of gold from Helena, and more than two thousand tons of silver.Helena looked at Quan Xu and asked puzzledly: "Daming is so big, and Macau is only so little, can't it be sold?"
You know, they are willing to pay 10,000 catties of gold, this is 10,000 catties, not 10,000 taels!
