Chapter 164 Meeting an acquaintance again

Because of the cultural meeting, the governor wanted to know more about the contents, so Fu Yuanzhi and Adi were kept by the governor.

Song Huan and Yan Liu acted as servants and "mascots" on the sidelines.

The next night, the moon was high.

Fu Yuanzhi and the governor Xu were playing chess when they suddenly heard a noise coming from the courtyard.

The sleepiness in Song Huan's originally groggy eyes disappeared, and he suddenly woke up. He immediately went out to check the situation.

Everyone in the courtyard and Song Huan froze.

Song Huan squinted her eyes slightly and looked at the person opposite her, thinking, it looks so familiar, has she seen it somewhere?

The person opposite, "..."

It would be best for her not to recognize him.

At this time, Mr. Xu also came out. However, he did not notice the stalemate between Song Huan and the person opposite him. Instead, he focused his attention on the two people lying on the ground.

One man and one woman.

"These two people are...?" Mr. Xu said.

The man in black opposite looked at Mr. Xu, then at Song Huan, then turned around and quickly left over the wall.

Mr. Xu walked up to the two of them and quickly ordered, "Quick, call the county magistrate."

The boy should have quickly retreated.

Song Huan focused his attention on the place where the man in black disappeared.

After a while, she patted her forehead.

She remembered!

He's from Gong Siwei!

Isn't he solving a child trafficking case? Why are you here?

Song Huan moved his eyes to the ground. Could it be that these two people are human traffickers?

Fu Yuanzhi looked at Song Huan's thoughtful expression, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Now is not the time to ask.

Mr. Xu was having a headache about the Quemen case. When he saw a man and a woman, his first reaction was to ask the county magistrate to identify them.

When the county magistrate shook his head, Mr. Xu concealed his disappointment.

The whereabouts of these people are so secretive that it is not easy to catch them.

And just as Song Huan thought, these two people were human traffickers.

Perhaps they were frightened by the methods used by the Gongsi Guards. As soon as the cloth strips were taken out from their mouths, the two men couldn't wait to reveal their crimes.

Mr. Xu was already in a bad mood, but when he heard the content, he felt even worse. He cheered up and dealt with these two people.

According to the confessions of the two men, those who sold children under the age of ten and were slaves of others were sentenced to death by hanging.

In the current dynasty, although the slave trade has been declared illegal by law, this does not mean that there is no human trafficking in the Tianyou Dynasty.

In fact, the crime of human trafficking was quite rampant in the current dynasty.

For example, in the tenth year of God's blessing, "the people in Fucheng, Jian'an County, may not have any clever plans for luck, or they may use small money and things to make money from other people's women and make them daughters, saying that they want to hire them as wives or raise them as sons. Therefore,

Lure them out of remote homes and hide them, then take them to various places and sell them in search of huge profits."

Another example is that in the 23rd year of Tianyou's reign, in Decheng, Guanghan County, "there were many unscrupulous people who wanted to make huge profits. They were in Gong, Fu, and Luzhou with the people who were born in Kouya, seducing good women, or using boats to carry them on the riverside.

, there are no less than dozens of people in each boat.”

The "shengkouya people" here are professional human traffickers who specialize in abducting children and abducting women.

The laws of God Bless the Kingdom severely punish this kind of human trafficking.

It can be said: "The most serious method is to ignore people."

According to "Tianyou Xingtong", "Those who sell people as slaves (if they are not in harmony, if they are in harmony with each other, the same method is the same) will be hanged; if they are sold as slaves, they will be exiled for three thousand miles; if they are sold as wives, concubines and descendants, they will be hanged.

A three-year apprenticeship; therefore, those who kill or injure others are subject to the same laws as bandits; and those who seduce others will be punished by one level each."

Tianyou Dynasty distinguishes the behavior of human trafficking into "slight selling" and "peaceful luring".

Selling briefly is equivalent to trafficking, and luring is equivalent to abduction.

The crime of luring is one level less than that of cheating.

However, children under the age of ten, even if they are lured, will be treated as a crime of human trafficking.

According to this piece of legislation, it is certain that if the God Blessed Dynasty catches a human trafficker who abducts a child, it will impose different punishments according to the experience of the abducted child:

Anyone who sells children into slavery for others will be sentenced to death by hanging;

Those who were sold as child laborers in the manor were exiled for three thousand miles;

Anyone who is sold as someone else's descendant shall be sentenced to three years in prison;

Anyone who causes bodily harm to the person being sold away will be dealt with according to the Robbery Law.

The banditry laws of the Tianyou Dynasty were very strict, and the leader was usually punished with death.

At first glance, these two people seemed to be familiar with the laws of the dynasty.

Since Gong Siwei was not there, the two of them probably played some tricks.

Song Huan didn't expose it because she had no evidence.

Those people take risks to abduct the children of rich people to be other people's slaves?

She didn't believe it.

The real situation behind it is probably not that simple, right?

For five days in a row, there was no news from anyone in Quemen.

As the governor, Mr. Xu cannot wait here forever. There are still many things to deal with in the future.

And a new county magistrate is about to take office.

And Song Huan and others were finally able to embark on the journey again.

Song Huan and others also discovered corn in a village in Kuaiji County.

However, because it comes from foreign countries, the locals call it "Fanmai".

Corn does not have very strict soil requirements. The soil is loose and deep.

Compared with traditional rice, wheat and other food crops, it has strong drought tolerance, cold tolerance, barrenness tolerance and better environmental adaptability.

Therefore, in addition to growing rice, local people also set aside relatively barren land to grow barley.

This adds another item to their menu.

Adi was eating delicious corn and asked doubtfully, "Can this kind of wheat be grown only here? Can Nancheng, Yangjiang Prefecture, or Darongshu Village do it?"

Song Huan said, "Of course."

This corresponds to the map of the previous life, which should be the Zhejiang area.

They all have a subtropical monsoon climate.

In addition, corn itself has strong adaptability.

Adi thought for a while and said, "Why have we never heard of such good food?"

Fu Yuanzhi answered, "Transportation is inconvenient and news is delayed."

Song Huan nodded, "Moreover, this is a normal food for the local people, but the farthest they go out in their lives is only the county town. How would they know that other places don't have it."

Adi pursed his lips and said, "If we can promote Fanmai, many people will not be hungry!"

Just like Sanwazi and Grandpa Zeng, they don’t have to eat one meal before the next.

This wheat is sweet when eaten fresh. After it is dried and ground into powder, it can also be made into paste and spread into cakes.

Just like rice!

A strange emotion suddenly emerged in Adi's heart.

He wanted to take Fanmai back.

But his ability was very limited. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Don't county magistrates have the task of encouraging farmers to cultivate mulberry trees? There are such good grain varieties here, they can ask the court to promote them?!"

Fu Yuanzhi said, "This is not a trivial matter. The county magistrate is just a leader in managing a county. He doesn't know whether this grain can survive in other counties. If it fails, his life will be ruined. It is teasing the king. This

It is a serious crime of beheading."

Fu Yuanzhi looked at Song Huan, "Miss Song will definitely be able to survive in Yangjiang Mansion if she knows it?"

Judging from Miss Song's appearance, it was obvious that she knew Fanmai and even understood its growing conditions.

Song Huan, "..."

She got excited and blew herself up!

Song Huan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Well, I can tell from the place where they plant! The soil quality is similar to that of Darongshu Village. After all, I often hang out in the mountains, right? Hahaha..."
