Chapter 53, only the strong have the right to speak
Li Wan looked at the many slaves in the cage, and many of them showed desire in their eyes. Because they were afraid of being electrocuted, they did not dare to shout like before, as if they were using their eyes to express their inner emotions.
Being treated as animals in a cage, people are dying every day, fighting among slaves, or diseases, etc., it is not easy for them to survive until now, and many of them seem to have accepted their fate. Since they accept their fate, it is better to be sold earlier. Perhaps they can find a better owner, at least not be locked in a cage.
"Why should we buy some slaves?"
Ding Xiaoqiang was really unbearable and discussed with Li Fu.
"No, our empire has a very strict population policy, and our empire does not allow slaves to exist. At that time and what name we should take in these people, and we will also put a very serious issue on our empire government and the people of our empire."
"At that time, will our empire open up slavery? Should we accept foreign civilizations and races? They will all become a very serious topic in our entire empire. After all, we can even immigrate now, even the descendants of Yan and Huang, let alone these aliens."
Li Wandu shook his head. After all, he was far away. He was in an imperial family and had been in contact with Li Fu and many imperial government officials since he was a child. His vision and thinking were naturally different. Many things were not simply looking at the present.
It is very simple to buy these slaves, and it seems that they have done a good thing to allow these slaves to get rid of their original fate. However, once these slaves enter the empire, what kind of identity should the empire be treated? It is worth thinking about.
"Oh, I think they are pitiful."
Ding Xiaoqiang sighed softly, turned his vision, no longer looking at the slaves in the cage, because those eyes really made people feel unbearable and couldn't help but want to reach out to help.
"It's a pity that there is nothing we can do. Our empire has rules, and the upper class has considerations. We don't open up slavery and naturally have its reasons. Strict restrictions on immigrants are also for the long-term considerations of our descendants of Yan and Huang."
Li Wandu also turned his head and stopped looking.
"You two, don't consider buying some slaves back? Look at this Hudson man, he is strong and has very strong muscles, and is definitely a very good labor force. It must be good to buy it back to do some farm work and so on."
"And this petite cat woman with extremely smooth skin is also a good toy on the bed. I will buy it and make sure she enjoys it."
When the stall owner saw that Li Wandu and Ding Xiaoqiang were both turned around and stopped looking at slaves, he quickly started selling the company. The Hudsons he mentioned were generally 2 meters tall, each with strong muscles and wearing coarse linen clothes. The other aliens next to him were very tacitly away from them, which was obviously not easy to mess with.
As for the catwoman, they were a group of people dressed in exposed clothes, fair skin, furry cat ears and tails, petite figures, snuggled together, looking vigilantly at everything around them with fearful eyes.
"No need, our empire does not allow slaves to be raised."
Ding Xiaoqiang shook his head and looked at the slave in the cage again, his eyes full of helplessness.
"Not allowed to raise slaves? The laws of your empire are really strange. Well, guests can take a look at other things, they are all very good."
When the stall owner heard this, he was a little surprised and then promoted other things. In the interstellar universe, there are civilizations that do not allow animals to raise slaves, but very few. Most civilizations allow animals to raise slaves, because slaves are also a very important resource.
Not to mention anything else, just engaging in some physical labor, dirty work, etc., slaves have a very large market, and another very important purpose is the slave coupe, which is also the most consumed among interstellar slaves. There are countless slave coupe in almost every civilization.
There are countless slaves who die under the mouths of beasts every day, and those who die under the hands of other slaves. 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, cultivation, listing, etc. of slaves, a complete black industrial chain, I don’t know how many civilized races have been continuously sold by these interstellar slave traders from free men to slave goods in the black market.
Of course, this black industrial chain is black for the empire. The empire strictly prohibits population trading and trafficking. So far, there has been no population trading in the empire.
However, for other civilizations in the interstellar world, as long as they are not those who sell their own civilization, the slave transactions are legal and open. Even the governments of these civilized people can collect a large amount of taxes from them, which is quite supportive of the interstellar slave industry.
In these civilizations, interstellar slaves are sold and operated publicly, and everyone can buy them legally. They raise slaves. Slaves are like a commodity, and the owner can deal with them at will.
"Let's go, let's continue to see."
Li Wandu smiled and shook his head, and continued to stroll. The entire trade area was very wide, and the soldiers of the Karan Empire set up a long trade corridor.
"Brother Li, why do you think our empire does not allow the existence of slavery? Our empire is now sparsely populated, with a vast land and a sparse population, and requires a lot of labor. If the existence of slavery is allowed and there are a large number of slaves, our empire can develop very quickly."
Ding Xiaoqiang was still struggling with slavery at this time and was thinking about this issue in his mind.
"The empire naturally has the consideration of imperialism. In our human history, many powerful empires fell to the ground because of the existence of slavery. For example, the very famous ancient Roman Empire, slavery has long been the glory of the ancient Roman Empire, but it is also because of slaves that destroyed the ancient Roman Empire."
"The large amount of slaves is used to make the imperial nation become lazy, which is very unfavorable to the long-term development of our empire, and it is easy to quickly erase the excellent diligence qualities that our Chinese nation has cultivated over 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 advanced and the control is stronger, slaves are not animals who don't know anything after all, and the potential risks are very high."
"I think that's the important reason why our empire does not allow slavery to exist. The leaders of the empire must look at the long term when considering the problem."
Li Wandu smiled and explained to Ding Xiaoqiang while walking.
"I see."
Ding Xiaoqiang nodded as if he suddenly realized his head.
"These interstellar slave trade is still very prosperous. Look at this stall, there are more or less slaves. When you look carefully at their eyes, do you see the raging anger, especially those slaves who have already initiated civilization. Although they are well hidden, they may burst out at any time."
Li Wandu was walking around casually, watching the slaves locked in cages on the stalls.
"Well, I can clearly feel the burning anger in their hearts. If I were sold in the interstellar universe as a slave, I would be the same."
"That's right, they are very calm now, because no matter what they do, it is useless. Therefore, either die in silence or break out in silence. Slavery itself has huge risks. Not to mention humans, even animals will have times of resistance."
"I have to say it is a kind of sorrow. A free man in a civilized world has become an interstellar slave in the blink of an eye and is randomly sold in the universe as a beast."
"We should be glad that we live in an empire and live in a powerful 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, and will only bully more wantonly."
Li Wandu sighed deeply.
"You look at the soldiers of the Karan Empire, and they are smiling at us one by one. That's because we beat them, so they are like this. Look at the things they sell, and they buy some of these things themselves for their own money, and they are basically snatched from the indigenous planets."
"It is not only to rob your wealth, but also to sell you like a slave. This is the treatment of a weak civilization. There is no right to speak and can only be slaughtered at will."
Li Wandu pointed to a stall and said to Ding Xiaoqiang.
"Well, because we beat them, they respect us and bow down to us. The civilization where these slaves belonged to them was defeated, so they not only lost their own wealth, but also became interstellar slaves, the pure law of the forest."
Ding Xiaoqiang nodded, as if he had figured out something in his heart.
"So, I feel the responsibility and burden on my shoulders. If our predecessors hadn't worked hard to develop technology and strengthen themselves, maybe today we would have been sold in the universe like these slaves, like people who were treated as commodities."
"In other words, if we do not work hard to develop technology today and improve the strength of our empire, then one day in the future, we will encounter a stronger civilization, and it is very likely that our descendants will encounter everything about these slaves today."
"Look at the history of our descendants of Yan and Huang. Only when we continue to become stronger can we shock the world. Whenever we weaken, it will be the suffering of our descendants of Yan and Huang."
"So, seeing the experiences of these slaves and thinking about the past and the future, I feel like there is a mountain pressing on my shoulders. In the interstellar universe, only the strong have the right to speak."
