C1896

Jeanie narrated the story to Xiao Peng, who was speechless.

There are many "branches" of the M sect. Generally speaking, they are almost the same as the orthodox doctrines of the M sect, except that these branches support polygamy. The orthodox m-sect had a strong family concept and restricted the behavior of the believers, which was called the Puritanism. And those branches, with the exception of polygamy, are actually similar to orthodox sects.

But when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, so some strange things come into it. The most notorious one is the so-called fundamentalists.

This fundamentalist school was founded by Warren Jeffs, who called himself "the prophet". The religious principle of this sect requires that "women should be smart". He has many followers, and those followers have sacrificed their daughters to become Warren Jeffs' wife.

Most of these girls are under age, 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 all follow Warren Jeffs.

Polygamy is legal in Utah, but if the girl is under age? It must be illegal! So the local police began to investigate Warren Jeffs, but those girls who were brainwashed would choose to protect him, keep silent to the police, and deny that they are Warren Jeffs' wife. So there is solid evidence, the police can't do anything about him.

Later, Warren Jeffs was probably annoyed by the police investigation, so he simply took his family to Texas, where he established a closed community called "yearning for the kingdom of heaven" and took his followers to live there. There the girls were allowed to work in the fields, raise livestock and take care of their children without any contact with the outside world. All the women have the same hair style (the hair style of Star Trek women in the 1940s and 1950s, similar to that of Audrey Hepburn at the beginning of the movie breakfast at Tiffany's). They wear a uniform pink dress, which is also the style of more than 100 years ago. They pack themselves tightly. They can't take off when they are resting, playing or even swimming. They have to sleep It's because they are taught that women can't wear clothes that are tight or show their skin. This will cause men's evil thoughts, that is, women's fault......

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

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

The Texas police arrested Warren Jeffs and many of his followers on the charge of "intermarriage with minors". After years of investigation, Warren Jeffs was sentenced to 20 years in prison, which is the maximum term of "intermarriage with minors".

Hearing this, Xiao Peng asked, "when were these people sentenced?"

"2012," Jennie said

Xiao Peng was a little speechless: "after so many years, this has been arrested, should it be ok? Why do you say that Nolan's father belongs to the "fundamentalist"

Jennie said: "Warren Jeffs has been arrested, but since he was arrested, many believers have disappeared. After more than ten years of brainwashing, they have vowed to be loyal to Jeffs. In fact, they have found a new place to hide and continue to live a trading life. Moreover, after this incident, not only did the fundamentalists not decline, but their popularity and influence increased greatly. In maple leaf state, a believer married 27 "wives" and gave birth to 145 children. "

Xiao Peng opened his mouth and didn't close it for half a day. 145 children? Can he remember the names and looks of all his children?

"It was a place like this that norren and I escaped from, and the" prophet "there was Milton Bushnell, norren's father. Norren was one of his seven sons, and I turned out to be one of Milton busnier's wives

Xiao Peng was stunned and asked curiously, "I don't think you are big."

Jennie said, "well, I just had my 19th birthday."

Xiao Peng looked at the little John drinking milk there and asked curiously, "how old is little John?"

"He is four years old." Said Jane.

Tut Tut, I was pregnant at the age of 14. So I can see that Milton is really not a thing. He is going to be 70 years old, right? It's not for no reason that Nolan hated his father so much.

Xiao Peng said with a bitter face, "well, I seem to have saved the wrong person. What the hell did this save! I should have He stopped what he wanted to say. He should have killed him if he knew it!

Looking at the well-dressed, I didn't expect that it was such a person. It's really right to describe him as "dressed as a beast"!

Jennie was very kind, but comforted Xiao Peng: "it's not your fault. After all, no one knows what kind of person he is, does he? There is nothing wrong with saving people. "

Xiao Peng sighed: "Jennie, come here to live, how do you feel about life?"Jennie said with a smile: "everything is fine. I'm afraid that the former people will come after me. In fact, a few people have come, but they don't dare to make mischief, so it's OK. Although there are a lot of business problems now, compared with the previous life, now is paradise. "

After hearing this, Xiao Peng was stunned: "business problems? To tell you the truth, in China, you are the biggest exporter of agricultural products in the world. 1% of the population has created 3% of GDP. What kind of farms are managed by helicopters, and the fertile fields are cultivated by remote control. All mechanical labor and physical work are undertaken by him. There are tillers, wind drills, track trailers, balers, and seeders in the field. Two or three people can do the work that hundreds of people can't do. Moreover, your government has made great efforts to subsidize and protect agriculture. Farmers pay the least tax and the lowest amount of tax. To tell you the truth, my girlfriend is from xingtiao country. I thought at that time that if her family was not willing to let her go to live in China with me, I would like to buy a farm here to operate. "

Jennie blinked and said, "where is this place you're talking about? Is there such a good place? You must introduce me! "

Xiao Peng:.... "

"Wait a minute, you say you are Chinese? Are you not of Chinese origin in StarCraft? " Asked Jane suddenly.

Xiao Peng shook his head: "I'm from China. Is there a problem?"

Jane said, "Oh, no problem. You speak English very well. Xiao, although you saved the devil in our eyes, you are a kind-hearted person. I don't know who told you about the agriculture of xingtiao country. But I advise you not to rush to xingtiao country to set up farms. Now our business is getting worse and worse. Especially in the last two years, after AP came to power, all countries in the world have punished xingtiao country through agriculture It is the peasants who are suffering the most in the country. "

"Ah?" Xiao Peng was stunned.

Looking at Xiao Peng's expression, Jennie said with a smile, "look at our home. It's not strange, isn't it? What you said just now is all loopholes. Do you say that 3% of xingtiao's GDP is created by agriculture? That's right, but you didn't say that most of them are the profits of multinational food groups. Their farms are all over the world. Now one third of Brazil's land is planted by them, and those are included in the GDP. As for mechanization, OK, one fifth of the farms are managed by helicopter? Come on, what's the farm doing with helicopters? Spraying pesticides? How much pesticide can a helicopter hold? We'll ask the plane to help spray the pesticide, but how much does it cost? The prices of those large-scale agricultural machinery you mentioned are very expensive. We can only rent them, but big ones have to rent them. We have to queue up to use them in the sowing season and harvest season, which often delays the season! As for the subsidy you said, ha ha. "

Xiao Peng didn't understand what it meant: "ha ha? What do you mean

"Hehe means we didn't see it! Oh, it's not that there is no subsidy. There are, but according to the old rules, we have a trade dispute with Huaxia. We can't sell soybeans and pig heads, and the sales volume is reduced by 80%! At that time, AP told us 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, the continuous rainstorm and flood in this spring, the extreme weather has greatly reduced the yield of corn and other crops. Now the government doesn't give us a letter. We don't know what to plant next year. Kansas doesn't let us grow big hemp. Damn it! Please God forgive me for my rude words

Jennie seemed to have no one to talk for a long time, which opened the conversation box: "you may not understand that most of the farms in xingtiao country live on agricultural loans. Every year, we apply for agricultural loans, then we use them to sow seeds, and then we repay the loans when we harvest, and then we recycle them. Recently, however, there is a recession, and more and more farmers are insolvent. Kansas alone closed more than 40 farms last year, and more this year. In fact, we are OK here. For example, Illinois is the largest soybean planting state in xingtiao country. One third of soybeans are sold to Huaxia every year. As a result, no soybean has been bought by Huaxia in recent years. It's said that more than 100 farms closed down there last year. "

"Then why don't you consider changing careers?" Alicia asked curiously.

Jennie said with a wry smile, "I have never received any education since I was 13 years old. Now I can't do anything except farming. What do you want me to do? I've been here for three years, and I'm just getting used to life outside. "

Xiao Peng was stunned: "three years?"
