Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 908 Human Trafficking
The weather is cold.

Above the main hall, the officials were still criticizing Qin Tian.

Qin Tian didn't care about these accusations.

Li Shimin looked at Qin Tian and asked, "Why did you and Cheng Yaojin go to the brothel to investigate?"

"Your Majesty, because of the coming of all nations to court next year, a lot of people have come to Chang'an City recently, and the arrival of these people has made the trade of Chang'an City more prosperous. At the same time, the brothel business has also improved. Many, the place we went to yesterday is the gathering place of several brothels that have opened in the past month."

Qin Tian said this, but everyone's expressions did not relax in the slightest, because they knew what Qin Tian said a long time ago.

They didn't know what Qin Tian was saying.

"Before that, Lu Guogong and I discovered that there had been several human trafficking incidents recently in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, many women had been trafficked from other places. I and Lu Guogong felt that these human transactions were mostly Because of the rise of brothels, they need some women to meet the needs of men, so they use all means to obtain these women."

Speaking of this, everyone was slightly taken aback, they more or less understood what Qin Tian meant.

"Your Majesty, what Qin Tian said is right. The girl we rescued was sold into a brothel, but she herself didn't want to stay in a brothel, so she even jumped off the building for this reason. If this kind of thing is not controlled , for my Datang population, it is a very dangerous thing."

Cheng Yaojin's mind turned quickly, and when he understood the meaning of Qin Tian's words, he immediately stood up and followed suit.

And after he echoed in this way, it made people feel that Qin Tian really only wanted to investigate the human trafficking when he went to the brothel, not to visit the brothel.

Even saving people is only part of his job.

Everyone looked at Qin Tian with different eyes.

Gao Shilian's expression changed slightly, and then he stood up again: "Your Majesty, don't listen to Qin Tian's nonsense, he is a majestic county magistrate, and Cheng Yaojin is a state magistrate, it's just a matter of human trafficking, they need to investigate it in person Well, it's clear that the two of them are going to visit brothels, and they're just using this as an excuse, please ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten you."

Gao Shilian was very indignant, he didn't expect Qin Tian to be so eloquent, he even said that he was investigating the human trafficking while he was visiting brothels, it was extremely shameless.

Qin Tian smiled lightly here: "My lord, no matter is big or small, concern is big. If this kind of business of population is allowed to continue, I don't know how many people will die because of it, and I don't know how many people will die because of it. , my Tang Dynasty is now in need of people, if things go on like this, this will become a hidden danger to my Tang Dynasty, so I suggest that we should make some explicit regulations on this, and no one is allowed to sell other women into brothels unless they are voluntary , once you find out, you will be shot and killed, and all brothels will also suffer the crime of sitting together..."

Qin Tian didn't mention the matter of going to brothels, but only talked about human trafficking. Compared with his visits to brothels, human trafficking is a big deal. As long as everyone turns their attention to this, he doesn't have to worry about the next thing.

Population trading is indeed a big deal.

After Qin Tian said this, Wei Zheng stood up.

"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Qin said is reasonable. People cannot be bought and sold casually, even their parents. We must stop this kind of thing from happening, otherwise there will always be people who sell their children, and these children If you don't want to go to brothels, how many problems and troubles will this cause?"

Although Wei Zheng didn't think that Qin Tian didn't mean to visit brothels, but in comparison, he cared more about buying and selling people. After all, who hasn't been to brothels?

It's just that they didn't cause any trouble. If this continues, it may be difficult for them to go to the brothel in the future.

So, if you can change the topic, then change the topic.

There are many people who have the same idea as Wei Zheng, so after Wei Zheng finished speaking, others also stood up one after another.

"Your Majesty, selling children is really cruel. It's against human ethics for someone to do such a thing."

"Yes, yes, such things must be strictly stopped, otherwise there will be no family affection between people, so how can I, Tang Dynasty, be filial?"

"........."

Everyone is talking about human trafficking, Gao Shilian is not popular with them.

"My lord, what we are discussing is Qin Tian's visit to brothels."

"Master Gao, I have already made it very clear that I did not visit brothels,"

Qin Tian argued hard, the court was in chaos, and the situation that was originally unfavorable to Qin Tian suddenly became blurred.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin looked at this situation, Li Shimin really didn't believe that Qin Tian didn't visit brothels, but Li Shimin didn't believe that Qin Tian was fighting for a woman.

So in this situation, it is very likely that Qin Tian really went to the brothel, but he saw something unfair in the brothel, so he took care of it.

It doesn't hurt.

However, Qin Tian really needs to pay attention to the issue of human trading.

If people's safety cannot be guaranteed, then there will be hidden dangers in the stability of Datang, right?

Watching the fierce debate among the ministers, Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Okay, what you all said makes sense. Human trafficking must be regulated, and people and children must not be trafficked at will. Also, once found, whether it is trafficked or bought, it will be severely punished. This matter will be handed over to you." Let Qin Aiqing do it."

When Li Shimin said these words, the whole hall fell silent.

And everyone already understood what Li Shimin meant.

He no longer cares about Qin Tian's visits to brothels, and now he only cares about human trafficking.

Gao Shilian was very angry, but now that Li Shimin has said so, it is useless for him to say anything else.

Here, Qin Tian agreed after a slight smile.

In fact, since he brought Zhang Yan out of Baihua Building yesterday, Qin Tian had expected that someone would impeach him, so he had already thought about how to solve this problem last night.

And when solving the problem of being impeached, he also wanted to deal with the human trafficking by the way.

Human trafficking is a pain for many families. If it is allowed to develop, more and more cases of missing persons will occur. Therefore, it is very important for Datang to control it in advance to prevent this kind of thing from happening. A very necessary thing.

This matter is difficult to handle, or this is something that cannot be completely controlled at all.

However, even if he couldn't completely control it, he, Qin Tian, ​​had to do something to make this kind of thing happen as little as possible.

At least, this kind of thing cannot happen in Chang'an City.
