Godly Fisherman - Chapter 1896

Jenny told Xiao Peng what happened, and Xiao Peng was also speechless.

There are many ‘branches’ of the M School. Generally speaking, the orthodox doctrines of the M School are almost the same. The difference is that these branches support polygamy. The orthodox M disciple has a very strong family concept, and restrains the behavior of the believers, which can be called pure cultivation. Except for a little bit of polygamy, those branches are actually similar to orthodox sects.

But when the forest grew bigger, there were all kinds of birds, so some weird things appeared in it, the most notorious one was the so-called fundamentalists.

This fundamental sect was founded by a man named Warren Jeffs, who called himself a “prophet”. The canon of this sect requires that “women must be well-behaved”. He has many followers, and those followers have given up their daughters to become Warren Jeffs’ wife.

Most of these girls are underage, and the youngest is only 12 years old. After they were sent to Warren Jeffs, they began to be brainwashed by him and other believers. So they are all devoted to following Warren Jeffs.

This polygamy is legal in Utah, but what if the girl is underage? It must be illegal! So the local police started investigating Warren Jeffs, but those girls who were brainwashed would choose to protect him. They kept talking to the police and denied that they were Warren Jeffs’s wife. With such conclusive evidence, the police also treated him. Lenjeves was helpless.

Later, Warren Jeffs might have been annoyed by the police investigation, so he simply dragged his family to Texas, established a closed community called “Longing for the Kingdom of Heaven” and ran to him with his followers. Live there. There, the girls are allowed to work, raise livestock, and take care of the children, without any contact with the outside world. All women wear uniform hairstyles (the hairstyles of Star-Spangled Nations women in the 1940s and 50s, similar to those used by Audrey Hepburn in the opening of the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany”), and they wear uniforms The pink loose long skirt is also a style more than a hundred years ago. It packs itself tightly. You can’t take it off when you are resting and playing or even swimming. You can only change into a long-length pajamas when you sleep. This is because they I was taught that women shouldn’t wear tight-fitting or skin-exposed clothes. This time it causes men’s evil thoughts, and that’s the woman’s fault. . . . . .

At that time, many girls wanted to escape from there, but couldn’t escape because they were monitored every day and they couldn’t find the police because the police in the community were all members of their sect.

Until 2004, Texas police raided the farm and found 462 women there, one quarter of whom were underage married girls.

The Texas police arrested Warren Jeffs and many of his followers on the charge of’intermarrying with minors.’ After several years of investigation, Warren Jeffs was sentenced to 20 years in prison. , Which is the maximum number of years in the crime of’intermarrying with a minor’.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Peng asked puzzledly: “When were these people sentenced?”

Jenny said: “2012.”

Xiao Peng was a little speechless: “After so many years, I have been arrested. It should be all right? Then why do you still say that Nolan’s father belongs to the ‘fundamental faction’?”

Jenny said: “Warren Jeffs was arrested, but since he was arrested, many believers

They didn’t know where to go, after all, after more than ten years of brainwashing, they swear allegiance to Jeffs, in fact, they found a new place to hide and continue to pursue trading life. Moreover, after this incident, the fundamentalists not only did not decline, but their popularity was greatly improved, and their influence also increased a lot. In the Maple Leaf Country, a believer has married 27 ‘wives’ and had 145 children. “

Xiao Peng opened his mouth wide and didn’t close it for a long time. 145 children? Can he remember the names and looks of all his children?

Jenny said: “Actually, Noren and I escaped from a place like this, and the’prophet’ there was Noren’s father, Milton Bussinier. Noren was one of his seven sons. , And I turned out to be one of Milton Busini’s wives.”

Xiao Peng was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he asked curiously, “I don’t think you seem to be too big.”

Jenny said: “Well, I just celebrated my nineteenth birthday.”

Xiao Peng looked at Little John who was drinking milk and asked curiously, “How old is Little John?”

“He is four years old,” Jenny said.

Hey, he was pregnant at the age of fourteen, so it seems that Milton is really not a thing, he is going to be seventy years old? It’s not without reason that Noren hates his father so much.

Xiao Peng said with a bitter face, “Well, I seem to have saved the wrong person. What the **** is this saving! I knew that I should…” He stopped what was going to be said later, it should be. If I knew it, I would kill him!

Looking at the well-dressed, I didn’t expect that he was such a person. It’s really correct to describe him as a ‘clothed beast’!

Jenny was very kind, but comforted Xiao Peng: “You are not to blame. After all, no one knows what kind of person he is? There is nothing wrong with saving people.”

Xiao Peng sighed, “Jenny, how do you feel about life when you live here?”

Jenny smiled and said, “Everything is fine. I was afraid that people from the past would chase me. In fact, a few people have been here, but they didn’t dare to mess around, so they were all right. Although there are a lot of business problems now, but Compared with the previous life, now is heaven.”

Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this: “A business problem? To tell you the truth, in China, we have blown up the farmers of your Star-Stripe Nation. One out of 100 people in the Star-Stripe Nation is a peasant. Now the world’s largest exporter of agricultural products is you. 1% of the population creates 3% of the total GDP. One-fifth of the farms use helicopters for field management, and fertile fields use remote-controlled automatic farming. All mechanized labor and manual labor With its commitment, there are tillage machines, pneumatic drills, track trailers, hay balers, and planters for plowing fields. Two or three people can do work that hundreds of people can’t do. Moreover, your government has a lot of agricultural subsidies and protections. The farmer pays the least and has the lowest amount. Let me tell you the truth, my girlfriend is from the Stars and Stripes, and I thought at the time, if her family is unwilling to let her go to live with me in China, I wonder if she is here I bought a farm to run it.”

Jenny blinked and said, “Where is this place you said? Is there such a good place? You must introduce me to it!”

Xiao Peng: “…”

“Wait a minute, you said you are Chinese? You are not of Chinese descent from Star Stripe Nation?

“Jenny asked suddenly.

Xiao Peng shook his head: “I’m from Huaxia, is there a problem?”

Jenny said, “Oh, no problem. You speak English so well. Xiao, although you saved the devil in our eyes, you are a kind person. I don’t know who told you about the agriculture of the Stars and Stripes. Things, but I advise you not to rush into the Stars and Stripes countries to start farms. Now our business is not as good as day after day. Especially after the Arp came to power in the past two years, all countries in the world sanction the Stars and Stripes countries through agriculture. The most miserable country now is the farmers.”

“Huh?” Xiao Peng was taken aback.

Looking at Xiao Peng’s expression, Jenny smiled and said, “I’ll know by looking at our home, isn’t it surprising? What you said just now are all loopholes. You said that 3% of the Star-Stripe Nation’s GDP is from agriculture. To create? That’s right, but you didn’t say that most of this is the profits of those multinational food groups. Their farms are spread all over the world. Now one-third of Brazil’s land is grown by them, and those are also calculated In these GDP; as for the mechanization you said, well, one-fifth of the farms are managed by helicopters? Please, what do farms use helicopters for? Sprinkle pesticides? How much pesticides can a helicopter hold? We would ask airplanes for spraying. Pesticides, but how much does it cost? The large-scale agricultural machinery you mentioned are very expensive. We can only rely on leasing, and the big guys have to rent. Not to mention the cost. When the planting season and the harvesting season, everyone has to line up. Use, it often delays the season! As for the subsidy you mentioned, ha ha.”

Xiao Peng didn’t understand what it meant: “Ha ha? What do you mean?”

“Hehe means that we didn’t see it! Oh, it’s not that there are no subsidies, but there are, but it is in accordance with the old rules. Now there is a trade dispute with China. We can’t sell things like soybeans and pig’s heads, and sales are decreasing. It’s 80%! Apu told us at the time that he would give us a subsidy to make up for the loss, but now more than a year has passed and we have not seen any subsidy at all. In addition, there has been continuous heavy rains and floods this spring, and extreme weather has caused The output of corn and other crops has dropped a lot. Now the government doesn’t give us a plausible letter. We don’t know what to plant next year. Kansas doesn’t let him grow hemp, **** it! Please forgive me for swearing .”

Jenny seems to have been silent for a long time, and she opened the chatterbox: “You may not understand that most of the farms in the Star-Stripe Nation rely on agricultural loans to survive. They apply for agricultural loans every year and then use them to sow seeds. , Wait until the harvest time to repay the loan, and then cycle like this. And the current recession recently, more and more farmers are insolvent. Last year, Kansas closed more than forty farms, and more closed this year. In fact, we It’s okay here. For instance, Illinois is the largest soybean-growing state in the Star-Tangled Nation. One-third of the soybeans are sold to China every year. As a result, no soybeans have been bought by China during the recent period. More than one hundred farms closed down last year.”

“Then why don’t you consider changing careers?” Alessi asked curiously.

Jenny smiled bitterly: “I have never been educated since I was thirteen. Now I can do nothing but farming. What do you want me to do? It’s been three years since I was here, and I have just adapted to life outside.”

Xiao Peng was taken aback: “Three years?”
