Chapter 444 Power is a good thing
Ye Qianning thought for a moment and then asked, "Your Majesty, are you aware that there are many cases of children being bought and sold among the people?"
"I know."
"If you know this, why don't you prohibit it?"
"Many private transactions are for livelihood purposes and do not constitute a violation of national laws." Although it is cruel, it is allowed.
"Children are the next generation of a country. If we don't stop it, a country won't go far."
"Why are you suddenly concerned about these things?" Qian Fanji asked.
"Luo Xuan encountered children being trafficked on the black market. He heard that many of them were bought by the rich and powerful to be used as living targets. The rich and powerful can despise human life, while the poor and the poor treat human life as worthless. It's just pathetic."
Because of the buying and selling, there are also many human traffickers. It is sad to be born in such an era.
Qian Fanji had also heard about these things. He was disdainful, but he couldn't care less: "Power is a good thing."
"Yes, only those with power have the final say. Do you think if we submit a memorial to the emperor detailing the number of children being sold and the cruelty of the process, would he issue an edict banning the trade?"
In ancient times, it was very common for ordinary human traffickers to buy and sell servants and maids, and it was not unacceptable.
The child was too much, and the process was chilling.
Qian Fanji was stunned for a moment, then thought and shook his head: "It won't be banned. As long as it's not stolen or robbed, buying and selling is legal."
"Where there's trade, there's theft."
"These are not things you and I can change. If we can't bear to see them, we can only lend a hand when we encounter them." Qian Fanji knew it, but what else could he do.
Ye Qianning was silent, some thoughts floating in his mind. If only a group of people could eradicate the human traffickers, and then set up a sect to take in those poor children...
The project is huge and requires a lot of money.
Qian Fanji stared at her indifferently, thinking of the murderous aura that filled her body. She must have had a very hard life in Nanyuan before, and she must have felt bad when she heard that some children were being bought and sold.
If she could have met a kind-hearted person at that time, perhaps she would not have become so murderous.
"There is no national law prohibiting buying and selling, but as long as they are human traffickers, they will not be clean, and it won't be too difficult to deal with them." Qian Fanji said.
Ye Qianning's eyes lit up slightly, but the brightness faded in an instant: "Beili is so big, with so many people, dealing with one or two of them is just a drop in the bucket."
She hasn't come up with a solution yet.
"When your grandfather was the prime minister, he taught many students. Many of them became officials and were assigned to serve as prefects in various places. Having connections was still very advantageous at that time." Qian Fanji saw the light in her eyes.
He felt a little more joy in his heart, as he finally found something that could interest her. As long as she was happy, he would find a ladder for her, even if it was a matter of climbing to the sky.
Ye Qianning understood that it was indeed faster and easier to solve the problem by having each city take charge of it.
"As for those children, as long as money can solve the problem, you don't have to worry about them." Qian Fanji said again.
Ye Qianning felt that this was very familiar, and couldn't help but curl his lips: "Are you rich?"
"Well enough."
"Food, clothing and other necessities are not a small amount of money, and may even bankrupt you."
"If I end up living on the streets, I'll have to ask you to give me two steamed buns when you pass by."
“Not impossible.”
Qian Fanji laughed, as if it felt really good to chat with her like this.
"Please help me with the human traffickers. As for the child, I'll have Luo Xuan arrange for someone to handle it."
