"Do you know how many slaves there are in the west of the empire?" The ten people shook their heads. They were not familiar with the empire at all, and they did not come to the west voluntarily. Their initial idea was to go to the South or East China Sea instead of the West. It is said that it is easier to make money there.
Dulin answered this question for them. He had three fingers. "According to some unofficial and rough statistics, there are no less than 300,000 slaves from all over the world imprisoned in the western part of the empire. Many of these slaves are the same as you." They all left their hometown with great dreams, hoping to make a career in the world and change the fate of themselves and their families. But now they are all here, living in the mines in the west, and they have all become slaves! "
This is not Du Lin's random deception. He was originally engaged in the business of smuggling channels on the east coast. He has some understanding of other ways to make a living on the sea. The most worthy of mention here is human smuggling.
These professional human trafficking organizations recruit workers everywhere in some countries that are poor and backward or where wars frequently break out. They take advantage of the local people's eagerness to change their lives and destiny, and recruit them with various nice words such as high salary, high benefits, and high treatment. A large number of people are willing to work abroad. They will select and classify these people, and the names are also very simple - different jobs require different types of work. The industry will definitely need strong young people, and the light industry will definitely want delicate and patient girls.
There are some finer ones, but not many. If the locals listen to their deceptions and believe them to be true, they basically cannot escape the fate of becoming slaves. These human trafficking organizations will conduct a physical examination "to a big city". When they get on the bus, they will find that they are not going to a big city, let alone a physical examination, but it is the beginning of their miserable life. They would be assigned a number like cattle and then divided among different, more specific organizations at the next level.
Then they will enter the quarantine process. Although human trafficking is illegal, everyone is still very responsible. We are not responsible for these people, but for money. Once one person has an infectious disease in a closed environment of maritime transportation, as long as the epidemic spreads, the whole ship will basically die. This kind of loss is something no organization wants to encounter or try. So there will be a very strict "quarantine" process. Then they will separate those who have gone to school and have some education from ordinary people, and will not allow these people to incite these "commodity" riots through language or intimidation, who may not know what will happen next.
Riots on the sea are no joke, because even human trafficking organizations cannot find support anytime and anywhere. Once a riot occurs, there is only one outcome for these commodities, and that is death.
When they arrive, these goods will be sold to those who need slaves for a few hundred yuan or more. Moreover, these main consumer groups are not in the west, but in the south, on the east coast, and in all economically developed countries. area.
Only the remaining ones will be picked and thrown away as garbage in the west. Each head will cost dozens of dollars, and the money will be calculated based on the number of heads.
This is a cost-free business, you only need to pay some management fees, bear some shipping costs, and then you will make huge profits!
These cheap slaves in the West will not be valued by all mine owners. They are nothing more than the price of dozens of baskets of slag - if it is a gold mine, a life may only be worth the price of a gold mine rough stone!
Dulin took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one. The cigarette was held between his fingers. As he moved his arms as he spoke, the rising smoke was constantly changing, "I always believe that every day From the moment everyone is born, they are all equal and there is no difference. Slaves should not appear in this world. This is a regression of civilization. Gentlemen, you have experienced this kind of pain and torture, and you should understand it better than me. to the despair in these people’s hearts.”
"I was born in the countryside. My father, my grandfather and even my ancestors have been farmers for generations. I want to change my destiny with my hands. Like you, I chose to challenge the fate that I have arranged for me. I am very lucky, I I did it. Then I started thinking that I should do something meaningful, because money, power, and status should not be everything for a living person, and then I decided that I wanted to challenge myself. Challenge the world yourself.”
"I want to lead all the people who are oppressed, enslaved, and treated unfairly to do something. Even if we are broken into pieces, at least we roar with all our strength in the face of the injustice of fate and the indifference of society."
"When I came here, to the west, I realized that such barbaric behavior existed in the civilized world. It was so frightening that I broke out in a cold sweat!"
"I once complained about why I came to the west and why I didn't stay in a more prosperous and prosperous place. Only when I saw you and the people below did I understand why the gods asked me to come here!"
Dulin's tone became passionate, "Because of you, and because there is still something I need to do, the gods chose me, let me see it and let me change it!"
"I know you may ask, why don't I free all the slaves here immediately?"
When this question was raised, the ten people who were still willing to believe it all had some emotions, because this question pointed directly at a key point of all Dulin's previous words. If you want to change, why not make the change now
This was not because Du Lin was dizzy, but because he had to say it now. When he said it, and when he said it to others, even if every word and the tone of every word were the same, it gave people different feelings. In the hands of others, this may be a sharp blade that destroys Dulin's "hypocrisy", but when he says it himself, it is the strongest shield to protect him!
"Because even if I release these people outside immediately, I have only saved these people. There are still 300,000 slaves in the entire West waiting for the day when the light shines into the dark mines. It is impossible for me to save 300,000 slaves Release them all, I don’t have the power, even if I die, I can’t do it!”
"Besides, even if I release them now, it may not be a good thing for them, because this is not your hometown, not your country. Many stubborn people here have accepted the shameful beastly behavior and Thoughts. Perhaps less than a tenth of these people outside will be able to return home, and the rest will die in the west of the empire."
"What I need to do is change, change people's minds, put the beast in a cage, and release civilization from the box made of gold!"
"Only on that day will the 300,000 people who are being treated unfairly be able to see the real sunshine!"
"And you will be the warriors who will bring civilization back. This is what I see from you!"
"You have beautiful qualities that everyone will praise, determination, tenacity, courage, persistence..., and only with your help can I bring changes to the west. Gentlemen, your job should not be in the mines Instead of using a pickaxe to mine ore, we are fighting for a way back to civilization and to the light for the 300,000 victims of barbaric slavery in the Western World!”
"I will tell you what to do and point you in a direction. From now on, you can only look at yourself."
"I know this is a very presumptuous request, but I also hope that after experiencing empathy, you can think personally for the slaves who are suffering in the West. When you were chained together by Andorra and worked in the mines , are you also yearning for the light like everyone else?"
"The gods brought me here because of you."
"If possible, I hope we can change the west, the empire, and the world together, so that the world will have less torture and pain, and more warmth and sunshine!"
"This is a very hard and even life-threatening career. If you are willing to do something with me, stay."
"If you don't want to, I will still give you the same treatment as the locals as I said, and let you continue to work here."
"A road full of thorns, destined to be neither safe nor peaceful, is at your feet. You have the right to turn back, but please believe me, if you continue on this road, you will be greeted by a future that is countless times more brilliant than you expected. !”
The ten young people in the room may come from different continents, different countries, and different cities.
They may have completely different or even completely opposite beliefs, and some may have no beliefs at all.
But in this moment, in this moment, in this second that seemed to be frozen, they forgot all their past beliefs, and forgot that they had been praying in the mine constantly but could not do anything to God. It was not them who saved them. The god I believe in is the person in front of me.
This man was bathed in endless golden light. His whole body seemed to be sparkling, and the sunlight was obsessed with him, surrounding him and refusing to leave. When looking at him, it was like seeing the boundless holy flame, like looking at the sun in the sky that brought life and warmth to all creatures in the world.
They all slowed down their breathing in this very short period of time, fearing that their heavy breathing would interrupt Dulin's words. His words made the blood of each of them boil. The power constantly emerging from their bodies made them seem to see countless dark chains firmly locking the sky in the distance. This power gave them a sense of confidence that as long as Stretch out your fist to break all the chains and let the sun shine on every place!
