The reason for the repeated ban on human trafficking is the chain of interests behind it. The huge profits have made some people take risks.

There are human traffickers who specialize in selling children. After selling them, they sell them at a high price. Generally, the price of boys is higher than that of girls. This is because some couples who cannot give birth like to adopt boys and pass on their family line.

It is even more sinful to buy and sell girls. Girls are not worth money. Many people buy children's brides. What is a child bride? A child bride, also known as "the daughter-in-law waiting for the New Year" and "bride brides", means that the baby girl and young daughter are raised by the mother-in-law's family until they are adults and formally get married.

The so-called child bride is adopted by others since childhood. When they grow up, they will become daughters-in-laws of that family. The reason why child brides are popular is that the society at that time was very poor and backward, and the lives of the people were very low. Most of the child brides adopted by poor families were adopted from other places or disaster areas. Another one was a abandoned baby girl picked up from the roadside by the road, and some were young girls bought at a low price from the victims who sold their children on the street.

Child brides became almost a common phenomenon in the Qing Dynasty. Children's girls were very young, some reached the legal age of marriage in the Qing Dynasty, and stayed in their in-laws' houses, waiting for their young son-in-law to become adults.

There were also such disadvantages in the Ming Dynasty. The girl's handprints on the marriage letters of child brides in the Ming Dynasty generally believed that sons can pass on the family line and increase labor force. Sooner or later, daughters have to pay a dowry to get married. Raising a daughter is like helping someone else raise a bride. When marrying a daughter, they have to endure the pain of separation between relatives. Therefore, there are many people who give their daughters to others as child brides.

Therefore, many families have daughters in their lives. Even if they have the ability to raise them, they will find suitable for them to send them out, exchange, trade, make wedding plans for their children, etc. Girls who marry or buy at the same time are mostly regarded as wives of their sons, which is the so-called child bride, and the daughters they give birth to are mostly married, trade or give them to other people's homes to be child brides.

Trading child brides even became a matter of pride. After Zhu Cilang became emperor, he issued an order to abolish these bad policies. It is strictly forbidden to traffic in humans, including child brides.

This was resisted by some people. Under the high pressure of imperial power, local governments began to strictly investigate the behavior of child brides. Finally, this child bride was curbed.

In addition to selling children, there is another type of crime that specializes in selling women. Trafficking humans existed in China at least in the Xia Dynasty. Since the slave society, the most convenient source of slaves was criminals, prisoners of war and civilians who could not repay their debts. Slaves lost their freedom and were like commodities, so they could be bought and sold. Yi Yin, the famous minister of the last dynasty of the Xia Dynasty, was a slave and a family of slaves. His father was a household slave chef who could slaughter and cook, and his mother was a slave who lived on Yishui to pick mulberry and raise silkworms. He went to the commercial land as a dowry slave, which can be said to be "official sales."

The book "Han Feizi" says that "Fu Shuo transfers and sells goods and pounds them in deep rocks to support himself." During the Zhou Dynasty, officials who were specifically responsible for population trading appeared, called "people". "The Literature of Zhou·Diguan" records that "people are responsible for the bribery of goods and bribes in the market, the people, cattle, horses, weapons, chariots, and rare treasures", and "people" are placed side by side with goods, cattle, horses, weapons, chariots and rare treasures, becoming commodities for exchange.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, buying and selling population became part of the national tax revenue. According to historical records, "From the Jin Dynasty, whenever goods sold slaves, horses, cows, land and houses, there were documents, and the money was 10,000, and the amount was 400 yuan. The person who sold the people was 300 yuan, and the person who bought it was 100 yuan. Those who had no documents were 400 yuan, and the person who bought it was 100 yuan. Those who had no documents were 400 yuan, which was called Sanjue."

Zhu Cilang firmly resisted such bad policies after he came to power. The "Records of Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty" records two human traffickers who were selling businesses and engaged in selling briefly. One was Ma Zhanwen, a native of Fengyang, Anhui, who used Chuanwu, Caowu, human brain and other substances to make drugs to sell humans; one was Wang Liu, a native of Beijing, who was sold for sixteen people after using medicine to charm young girls.

There are basically several sales channels for selling women, one is to sell it to wealthy families as maids or concubines, and the other is to sell it to people in remote mountainous areas as wives. This is quite good.

There is another kind of miserable thing. Many brothels and fireworks are specialized in selling women. The more famous the brothels are, the more rampant it is.

Moreover, the women who trade in brothels all look high-quality. The price paid by the madam is often higher.

Among the famous brothels such as Changle Tower and Zuixing Tower in the capital, there are many such cases. The Jinyiwei has investigated such cases, such as the Zuixing Tower case that caused a sensation in the capital half a year ago.

At that time, in the Zuixinglou brothel case investigated by the Jinyiwei, hundreds of brothel women were sold into it by teeth.

The madam from Zuixinglou was eventually escorted to the streets of Xicheng and executed by Lingchi.

The file was reported by the Beizhen Fushi Department and personally approved by Zhu Cixuan's imperial order. Lingchi's thirty-six cuts are considered kind compared to the thousands of cuts that can be cut into pieces.

Later, the Jinyiwei investigated the cases of women trafficking in this case. The cases of women trafficking in the capital almost disappeared.

But the arrival of these Japanese people has caused the case of selling women to emerge again. There are many such cases in the file in the hand of Kang Hongming, the prefect of Shuntian.

Most of these missing girls have good looks. When a few Japanese people took a fancy to Shen Shishi, they were amazed by her appearance.

But these Japanese people were dead, how could they solve the case? Kang Hongming almost turned white. He called Qin Maosheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the two of them were at a loss when they were in the case on the file.

The good news is that a girl’s disappearance case has just appeared in Wuqing County under Shuntian Prefecture. The incident of the disappearance case is almost exactly the same as that of Zhu Cixuan and the others.

There was also a group of people performing illusions at the market, putting a watching girl into the box to perform. Everyone thought that the girl from miles away was the girl in the box, but they ran over and saw that there was someone else.

But when they came to their senses, they found that the artists who performed illusions had long disappeared.

Fortunately, there was a large family in the market in Wuqing County, and the missing girl was the daughter of the clan leader. Now it was amazing. People from the same clan looked around and finally captured several people in a dilapidated temple.

Although a few of them ran away, three prisoners were finally arrested. One of these three people committed suicide by taking poison, while the other two were probably afraid of death and timid, so they were locked up by the Wuqing County Government.
