    "Wang Ding, drink more. This wine is made from the whip of a tiger I killed when I was young. You also have someone else. It doesn't matter if you drink more. I'll bring a few more when the time comes.  , This thing is not rare here" "Wu Gang knows about Wang Ding and Bi Yue. Speaking of their current relationship, Wu Gang also knows, otherwise Wu Gang wouldn't be so kind to Wang Ding. The two are still relatives. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? could make Wang Ding blush red in the face, and he could not help but whimper in his heart, he is still young, it seems it seems that it is not of use now.  "What a good young man, if you were in Myanmar, you would definitely be able to find a few more wives." Thishow many more wives can you find?  Is this okay?  " Wang Ding held a piece of braised pangolin to his mouth. He didn't put it in his mouth for a long time. He asked stupidly, which made everyone laugh. "Polygamy is allowed in Myanmar, but this wife married too many and disappeared.  It's a good thing.  ¡± It turns out that in Myanmar, because there are many ethnic groups and each has its own rules, there are no political laws at all. If a thief is caught, he will often be beaten to death by the onlookers. This is  Myanmar does not commit crimes. The government in Myanmar basically does not care about anything. For example, internal disputes in each village are mediated by village elders according to local customs. Moreover, Myanmar seems to have no concept of nationality.  A truly "free and independent" land, you don't even need to become a Burmese citizen. You only need to practice in the local temple for 7 days and gain recognition of local customs. From then on, you will be recognized by Burmese society, even if you have complete Burmese man skills.  In this way, they have the same rights as local residents, except perhaps the right to vote, but there seems to be no election in Myanmar. Myanmar is a country with seriously low productivity, and the issue of survival is the primary issue that ordinary people need to solve.  , and there is no family planning here. There are many daughters in every family, and those who cannot afford to raise them will marry off their daughters. Of course, the person getting married does not necessarily need to be single. Looking at Myanmar¡¯s polygamy system.  It seems funny, but it actually has a beneficial side to women. For example: Unless the woman has committed dishonorable behavior, divorce is absolutely prohibited. You must not start a relationship and give up, as a saying often said in Western churches.  The saying is: Regardless of poverty or illness, you must support her for a lifetime. Since women are responsible for labor, men have to be responsible for all housework - cooking, washing clothes, and taking care of children. According to the general standard in Myanmar, if you have three elders.  If you have 9 children, then you will have to do the housework of 11 people. When Wang Ding heard this, he felt cold all over. Think of a man carrying one on his back, one in his arms, and one behind his butt.  Wang Ding shuddered at the sight of a bunch of naked kids. The Burmese gentlemen were having a rough time, right? Some friends might have said that it was a bit miserable during the day, but at night they lived openly and honestly.  It¡¯s the bridegroom¡¯s day, but this is not necessarily a good thing. In Myanmar, the concept of ¡°fairness¡± in traditional customs is also deeply rooted in all aspects of family life. You must treat each of your wives equally, and take turns to be the king of Zhou.  It¡¯s polite. If some of the wives you marry are prettier and you want to prefer them, then you can¡¯t. This will be unanimously condemned by public opinion. It becomes a moral obligation to do whatever you want with your partner.  , I think many students will have no interest in it. ¡°Brother Wu, can¡¯t men work in the fields and women take care of the children at home?  Qian Le asked with great interest. Wu Gang shook his head when he heard this and said: "Myanmar is different from our China. If a person has three wives and three women are responsible for housework, then the farm work of four people must be  More than a man can afford.  And if one man and two women go to farm, the two women will definitely worry that their children will not be well taken care of by the other woman, and conflicts will easily arise.  Therefore, the only reasonable institutional arrangement is to let all women farm the land, while men stay at home and take care of the children. Moreover, the relationship between these wives is generally very good, almost like biological sisters.  "Wang Ding was dumbfounded by Wu Gang's words. This is a fair distribution. After Wu Gang introduced the wedding customs in Myanmar, he looked at Wang Ding with a smile and said, "How do you want me to find a temple for you?  , go live there for seven days, and you will be able to enjoy the treatment of the Burmese people. With your wealth, I am afraid that a lot of people are rushing to marry their daughter to you" "No, Brother Wu" Wang Ding raised his hands and said  The look of surrender made everyone laugh. Everyone was joking about Wang Ding, and the atmosphere at the wine table was very tense.Harmony, although Wang Ding said he didn't dare, his heart felt warm.  After dinner, Wu Gang arranged for Wang Ding and Qian Le to stay in the guest room. There is basically no entertainment here in Myanmar. After 12 o'clock in the evening, it became very quiet. Wang Ding drank some wine and worked hard for a day.  , took a shower and fell asleep.  When he woke up the next day, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning. Wang Ding quickly got up, washed briefly, and walked out of the room.  Wu Gang happened to walk into the small courtyard where Wang Ding lived. After seeing him come out, he said hello and said: "Wang Ding, go have breakfast. Don't rush out in the morning. Let the two professors rest more. By the way, I  I won¡¯t greet you anymore. Let¡¯s go to the hotel to take a look first¡± Wang Ding nodded. He knew that the two of them were really tormented yesterday. They vomited several times in the middle of the road, and almost even vomited out the yellow bile water.  , even if it reaches noon, it may not be able to slow down.  After Wu Gang left, Wang Ding looked at Qian Le slightly nervously. Qian Le was holding a map of Pagan and comparing it with the location of the sun flag on the digital camera display.  ¡° Yesterday, when I saw that everything in Pagan was being excavated, Wang Ding was no longer very hopeful. Maybe the treasures from back then would be dug out by jade collectors.  After looking at it carefully for a long time, Qian Le said with confidence: "Brother Ding, the location on the map is about 30 kilometers into the Savage Mountain. It should be considered deep into the mountain. It is inaccessible and will not be visited.  Discovered" "Savage Mountain?" Wang Ding was stunned for a moment. Before coming to Myanmar, Wang Ding had read a lot of relevant information and was no stranger to this name.  Savage Mountain was the place where the Chinese Expeditionary Force was defeated for the first time. Tens of thousands of defeated Chinese soldiers were swallowed up by that mountain. Unexpectedly, the island country in the future would also be besieged there one day.  The city of Pagan is located on the edge of Yeren Mountain. The Wulu River, the birthplace of emeralds, flows through the middle of Pagan City. The so-called Laokeng Jade Mine is basically located on both sides of the Wulu River.  at.  "Thirty kilometers, let's do this. Let's put it aside in advance. After seeing the jade mine, see if there is a chance to go there" Thirty kilometers is not very far in Wang Ding. With what he and Qian Le can do,  Physically, even in the mountains, three or four hours was enough for a round trip. He was wondering if he could find an excuse to go hunting and go there with Qian Le.  We have arrived at Pagan, and the treasure is close at hand. Although the two of us cannot take it out, Wang Ding will not be reconciled if he does not take a look at it. If the treasure is still there, he can always find a way to retrieve it later.  from.  Wang Ding and Qian Le had been studying the map. At noon, they received a call from Wu Gang. He was accompanying the two professors and asked his driver to pick up Wang Ding and Qian Le, and repeatedly emphasized that they should go there.  Wait outside the house and don't go outside the city within a city.  Wu Gang was thinking about the safety of the two of them. In Pagan, all the major jade companies are at odds with each other, and they all have a group of mercenaries, and assassinations of each other happen from time to time. Maybe they  Yesterday when I entered the city, I would be targeted by some malicious force.  Those forces would not have the guts to assassinate and kidnap Wu Gang, because that would cause turmoil in the entire Pagan and even Myanmar. However, some forces could still seize Wu Gang's guests and make some threats.  After waiting for more than half an hour, the driver I saw yesterday drove the car to the door of the house. When he came in, it was one car, but when he drove out of the city within the city, five more cars followed him.  After a night's rest, although the two professors still couldn't hide their tired looks on their faces, they were able to move without any hindrance. They were also eager to see the birthplace of the King of Jade.  Myanmar¡¯s special geology and landforms are an irresistible temptation for all geologists.  After meeting Wu Gang and others at the hotel, a convoy of seven vehicles drove out of Pagan City and headed upstream along the clear Wulu River.  Although the two sides of the Wulu River have been mined for a long time, the river that nurtures the Pagan people is still crystal clear and flows quietly through the city of Pagan.  The car drove upstream along the Wulu River. The scenery along the way was very beautiful. The large banana trees, dense jungles, and the gurgling river were just like in a painting.  Every distance across the Wulu River, there is an iron cable bridge with wooden planks on it. There are many people coming and going, most of them are rushing to the Pagan Market.  "These people include the locals of Pagan who have been farming for generations, and there are also many good and bad people who come here to make a fortune in the world. You must know?, Pagan is the crossroads of Mandalay, Mengong and northern Burma's Chongfeng grapes.  In addition to jade, there are also rich gold, silver, and copper mines buried under the land of Pagan, including teak in the forest. They are all sources of jade that can be traded, attracting all kinds of people with various purposes.  People who come to Hpakant.  And in addition to these, when people talk about Pagan, they always say that Pagan is run by three lines, namely the white line, the red line, and the green line.  Baicheng refers to heroin. It is close to the border between India and China and has always been an active place for drug traffickers. Many drug lords wanted by Interpol are hidden in places such as Hpakant.  The red line refers to the ruby, a specialty of Myanmar, which is also very famous in the world, and the green line is naturally jade.  One hundred and fifty kilometers up and down the Wulu River, with Pagan as the center, there are Longtang, Xiangba, Huika, Mogang, Dakanmu, Dongmo, Houjiang, etc.  Hundreds of emerald mines.  Among them are the ten famous mines with a long history, all of which are located upstream and downstream of the Wulu River. Most of the new factories are in the Dongmo area. The mines there are all bare, and a large number of exposed rough stones are directly outside.  , just without the skin of Laokeng.  After driving for more than an hour, the convoy came to the foot of a mountain. After the people in the car in front got out of the car to negotiate, the checkpoint at the foot of the mountain moved away the roadbed blocking the road.  The convoy drove along a not very wide mountain road to the mountainside, parked the car on a flat slope, and everyone walked down.  "Brother Wu, this is your mine? It's so spectacular" Almost half of the mountain opposite has been bulldozed. Below Wang Ding and others, there are hundreds of people busy, and there are  The excavator called "Strange Hand" made a roaring sound and kept pulling out rocks one after another from the mountain wall.  The skilled workers nearby immediately stepped forward to identify the stones that were taken out by strange hands. Some were struck with hammers, and some were just based on sight. As long as they felt that the stones were material, they would immediately load them into the car. When they were full, they would  Then unify and transport outwards.  This is the original mine.  Wang Ding knows that primary ore refers to a type of mineral that first existed in the earth's crust and remains in the soil after weathering. Most of the jadeite produced by this primary ore is colorless.  Moreover, the quality of jadeite from primary mines is often very average, and is far inferior to the quality of jadeite produced from secondary mines such as iron and copper. Because the formation of jadeite color requires the existence of secondary mines, so those  There must be associated minerals around the brightly colored jade growing rods.  Five minutes later, everyone walked around a mountain road and were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.  From that side, the mountain is still intact, but after bypassing the mountain road, there is a flat river in front of you. Half of the mountain has been bulldozed, and there are still several deep pits underground.  Seeing someone coming, several soldiers guarding the perimeter immediately gathered around. After negotiating with Wu Gang's people, they did not ask for a body search, but stood not far away from them with guns in hand, watching.  Every move they make.  "Thisthis is all jade?" In a large pit that was more than fifty meters long and forty meters wide, Wang Ding climbed the ladder to the bottom of the pit and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.  A piece of stone "Emerald" The surface of this jadeite as big as a hill is full of white crystals. If you look closely along these crystals, you can occasionally find some green. However, the planting water is extremely poor, and it cannot even reach the level of bean seeds. It is low-grade.  Jade.  Wang Ding walked around the giant jadeite that was tens of meters long and wide, and found that there were deep holes dug into various parts of the jadeite, presumably to test the quality of the jadeite inside.  It¡¯s just that this piece of material is very much the same as what it looks like. Wang Ding used his spiritual energy to observe it and found that it did contain a lot of jadeite, but the quality was the same as what he saw outside, which was a lower-grade jadeite variety.  If this piece of jade is untied, the stalks can only be used to make some small ornaments worth tens of dollars at most. It is better to just leave them like this. If the Myanmar government has a way to move them out, build a museum and charge admission.  Exhibiting it to the outside world can make a lot of money.  "It's 36 meters long, 126 meters high, and extends 19 meters inward. It's incredible. The reason why this primary mine produces color is that in the late stages of the formation of jadeite, the earth's crust changed and liquid invaded into it, creating ions.  , resulting in these green vein-like jadeite, which also destroyed the entire jadeite structure, but such a large piece of jadeite is equivalent to a small vein, which is incredible" Professor Ma and Professor Liang went down to the mine.  At the bottom, I took a measuring tape and started measuring. I was busy for ten minutes., finally measured the size of this "King of Jade", and explained the reasons for the formation of this piece of jade to Wang Ding and Qian Le, who went down to the mine together.  "It's big, but the material is too poor. The carved thing only costs ten or eight yuan a piece. If this one is made of glass, that one would be worth more" Wang Ding said with a smile, but his words attracted people.  The two teachers looked at each other with disdain, what a joke!  ¡°If this was a piece of jade grown in glass, it could buy the entire Burmese government. Will it stay here and not be able to take it out?  With how poor the Myanmar government is, it would have been chopped into countless pieces and sold off long ago.  After more than half an hour, Wu Gang greeted a few people above. He invited two professors, Ma and Liang, to come here. They were mainly looking for mineral veins for him and took them here to visit. It was just a way to visit this old pit mine.  Production has been discontinued, and apart from this so-called "King of Jade", there is nothing else to see.  Wang Ding was sitting in a car with two experts this time. After seeing the piece of jade, the two of them were very interested and did not feel that the road was bumpy. They kept talking about the piece of jade.  Wang Ding also learned some knowledge from the side. In the past, he only knew that jadeite was extracted from stones. Now he at least understands some of the formation factors and environment of jadeite.  After the convoy went down the mountain, it drove away from the Wulu River and turned onto a fork road. The road became increasingly difficult to walk. After nearly two hours, it stopped at the entrance of a bald mountain. However, around it, there were  It is a forest with lush foliage.  There were several large trucks parked at the foot of the mountain, as well as more than 20 houses made of wood. More than a dozen people with weapons were walking back and forth there. When they saw the convoy arriving, they gathered around them.  You can't climb the mountain here, but you have to take the cable car up. Wang Ding and Qian Le went up in the second wave. They were the only two people on this car. It was very spacious when they stood inside. Although the speed of the rail car was not fast, it was very spacious.  A few minutes later, they reached halfway up the mountain. Looking at the figures at the bottom of the mountain, they had become smaller.  (To be continued.)
