"Wang Ding, drink more. This wine was made from a tiger whip I used when I was young. You have another person, so it doesn't matter if you drink more. I'll bring a few more when it's right.
, This thing is not rare here..."
Wu Gang knew about Wang Ding and Bi Yue. When it comes to their current relationship, Wu Gang also knew that otherwise Wu Gang would not be able to treat Wang Ding so well, and they would still be relatives.
But when I took the tiger whip back, Wang Ding was blushing and couldn't help but whine in his heart. My buddy is still young, and it seems... it seems that I can't use this thing now.
"What a great guy. If you were in Myanmar, you would definitely find a few more wives."
This... find a few more wives? That's fine?"
A piece of braised pangolin that Wang Ding was sandwiched by his mouth, but he didn't put it in his mouth for a long time. He asked stupidly, which made everyone laugh.
"It is OK to have polygamy in Myanmar, but if this wife marrys too much, it may not be a good thing."
It turns out that in Myanmar, due to the large number of ethnic groups and their own rules, there is no political and axe law at all. If you encounter a thief being caught, you will often be beaten to death by onlookers. This is in Myanmar.
It's just not to make a fuss.
Myanmar's political axe basically cares about everything, such as internal disputes between villages, which are mediated by village elders in accordance with local customs, which is generally fair.
Moreover, Myanmar does not seem to have any concept of nationality. It is a truly "free and best" land. You don't even need to become a Myanmar nationality. You only need to practice in a local temple for 7 days and gain the recognition of local customs. From then on, you will gain the recognition of Myanmar society.
Acknowledge, even if you have complete Burmese men's qualifications.
In this way, you have the same rights as local residents, except for the right to vote. However, there seems to be no elections in Myanmar, so you can get married and have children locally.
Myanmar is a country with severely low productivity today. Survival problems are the primary problem that ordinary people need to solve. In addition, there is no family planning here. Every family has many daughters, and some of them cannot afford them, so they will marry their daughters.
Of course, the marriage partner does not necessarily require being single.
Myanmar's polygamy system seems funny, but it actually has a favorable side to women.
For example, unless the woman has acts of unfair reputation, divorce is absolutely forbidden. You must not abandon it all the time. In Western churches, one thing that often says is that you must raise it, no matter whether you are poor or sick.
She will last her life.
Since women are responsible for labor, men are responsible for all housework, cooking, washing clothes, and taking care of children. According to the general level of Myanmar, if you have 3 old women and 9 children, there will be 11 people in total housework.
I want you to do it.
Wang Ding was chilling when he heard this. Thinking about the situation where a man carried one on his back, held one in his arms, and a group of bare-butt children behind his butt, Wang Ding was chilling. This Burmese man was so busy.
It's a bit miserable, right?
Maybe some friends will say that the day is a bit miserable, but at night, the surname is Fu, and he lives the groom's day openly every night, but this is not necessarily a good thing. In Myanmar, the concept of "fairness" in traditional customs
It is also deeply involved in all aspects of family life. You must treat every wife equally and take turns to perform the ceremony of Zhou Gong.
If some of the wives you marry are more beautiful and want to prefer them, then that's not possible. This will be unanimously condemned by public opinion. Doing that thing with a room has become a moral obligation here. I believe many people will be punished by this.
Students will have no interest in their surnames.
"Brother Wu, can't men go to the fields to work, and can women take care of their children at home?" Qian Le asked with 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 asked to take care of housework, the farm work of four people will definitely be something that a man cannot afford.
If one man and two women go to farm, the two women who farm will definitely worry that their children will not receive good care from another woman, which will easily lead to conflicts.
Therefore, the only reasonable institutional arrangement is to let all women go to farm, men stay at home and take care of children, and these wives have a very good relationship, almost the same as their own sisters."
Wang Ding was dumbfounded by Wu Gang's words. This is a very fair distribution.
After Wu Gang introduced the marriage customs of Myanmar, he smiled and looked at Wang Ding and said, "How about it, do you want me to find a temple for you and live in it for seven days and you can enjoy the treatment of Burmese people. With your wealth, I am afraid
A lot of people are rushing to marry your daughter to you..."
"Don't, Brother Wu..." Wang Ding raised his hands and surrendered, which made everyone laugh. Everyone was joking about Wang Ding, and the atmosphere at the table was very harmonious, although Wang Ding said
I didn't dare to say that, but my heart felt a little warm.
After dinner, Wu Gang arranged for Wang Ding and Qian Le to stay in the room. There was basically no entertainment here in Myanmar. After 12 o'clock in the evening, it became very quiet. Wang Ding, who had been tired after drinking some wine for a day, had been working hard for a day.
, after taking a cool down, he 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 up briefly, and walked out of the room.
Wu Gang just walked into the small courtyard where Wang Ding lived. When he saw him coming out, he greeted him and said, "Wang Ding, go for breakfast, don't rush out in the morning, so let the two professors take a rest. By the way, I
I won’t say hello to you, go to the hotel to check it out..."
Wang Ding nodded. He knew that the two of them were really troubled yesterday. The few times they vomited halfway, even the yellow gallbladder was almost vomited out. Even if they walked to noon, they might not be able to recover.
Come.
After Wu Gang left, Wang Ding looked at Qian Le with a little nervousness. Qian Le was holding a Pagan map, comparing it with the location where the sun flag on the digital camera display was.
Yesterday, when I saw Pagan being excavated everywhere, Wang Ding's hope was no longer great. Maybe the treasure of that year was dug out by the jade pickers.
After looking carefully for a long time, Qian Le said confidently: "Brother Ding, the location on this map, about 30 kilometers into the Wild Man Mountain, should have already penetrated the mountains. There are few people there and should not be
Discovered..."
"Savage Mountain?!"
Wang Ding was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Before coming to Myanmar, Wang Ding, who had read a lot of relevant information, was not unfamiliar with this Mingyu.
Wild Man Mountain was the first place where the Chinese Expeditionary Force was defeated. Tens of thousands of defeated Chinese soldiers were swallowed by the mountain. Unexpectedly, the island country in Hou Hou was also besieged there for such a day.
The city of Pagan is located on the edge of Wild Ren Mountain. The Wulu River, the birthplace of jade, flows through the middle of Pagan City. The so-called Laokeng jade mine is basically on both sides of this Wulu River.
Place.
"Thirty kilometers, let's do it, let it go in advance. After seeing the jade mine, see if there is any chance to go there..."
Thirty kilometers in Wang Ding are not far away. With his physical constitution with Qian Le, even in the mountains, three or four hours are enough to go back and forth. He was wondering if he was looking for an excuse to hunt and go with Qian Le.
Take a look there.
Having arrived at Pagan, the treasure is so close. Although the two of them couldn't take it out, Wang Ding would not be willing to accept it if he didn't take it at all. If the treasure is still there, the queen of Yu would always find a way to get it up.
Out.
Wang Ding and Qian Le have been studying the map all the time. 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 would let them go.
Wait outside the house and don't walk out of the city.
Wu Gang is for the sake of the safety of the two. In Pagan, the major jade companies are incompatible with each other and have a group of mercenaries. Assassination happens from time to time, maybe they
When I entered the city yesterday, I would be targeted by some bad intentions.
Those forces did not have the courage to assassinate and kidnap Wu Gang, because in that case, there would be turmoil in the entire Pagan and even Myanmar, but some forces could still do some threats by seizing Wu Gang's guests.
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 a car, but when he drove out of the city, he followed five more cars.
After a night of rest, although the two professors still couldn't hide their tired faces, their actions were already unhindered. They were also anxious to see the birthplace of the King of Jade.
Myanmar's special geological landforms have irresistible temptations for all geologists.
After meeting with Wu Gang and others in the hotel, a convoy of 7 cars drove out of Pagan City in a mighty manner and drove upstream along the clear mist river.
Although the mined surfaces on both sides of the Wulu River have long been completely different, this river that raises Pagan people is still clear and quietly flows through Pagan City.
The car drove upstream along the Wulu River. The scenery along the way was very beautiful, with wide banana trees, dense jungles, and the gurgling river water, just like in a painting.
Every distance in Wulu River, there is an iron chain bridge with wooden boards on it. There are many people coming and going, and most of them rushed to Pagan Market.
These people include the Pagan natives who have cultivated for generations, and there are many people who have come here to make a fortune. You should know that Pagan is a crossroads between Mandalay, Menggong and northern Myanmar.
In addition to jade, there are also rich gold, silver, copper ore buried under the land of Pagan, including teak in the forest, which are all sources of jade that can be traded, attracting all kinds of purposes.
The one who came to Pagan.
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. It has always been a place where drug traffickers are active. Many drug lords wanted by Interpol are hiding in Pagan and other places.
The red line refers to the ruby, a specialty of Myanmar, and is also very famous in the world, and the green line is naturally jade.
One hundred and fifty kilometers along the Wulu River, with Pagan as the center, Longtang, Xiangba, Huika, Magang, Dakanmu, Dongmo, Houjiang and other large and small distributions are distributed with Pagan as the center.
Hundreds of jade ore.
Among them, there are the top 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, where the mines are bare, and a large number of exposed raw stones are directly presented outside.
, but the skin that doesn't have the old pit.
After driving for more than an hour, the convoy came to the foot of a mountain. After getting off the bus in front of the car and negotiated, the checkpoint at the foot of the mountain moved the roadbed that blocked the road.
The convoy drove along a not-so-wide mountain road and drove to the middle of the mountain. He parked the car on a flat slope, and everyone walked down one after another.
"Brother Wu, is this your mine? It's so spectacular..."
Almost half of the mountain opposite was flattened. Below Wang Ding and others, there were hundreds of people busy, and there was also an excavator called "strange hands", making roaring sounds, constantly
He took out pieces of stone from the mountain wall.
The skilled worker next to him immediately stepped forward and identified the stones taken out by the strange hands. Some were knocked with hammers and some were based on their eyesight. As long as they felt that the stone had material, they would be loaded into the car immediately. After they were filled,
Then transport it uniformly. This is the native ore.
Wang Ding knew that native ore refers to a type of mineral that exists first in the earth's crust and remains free in the soil after weathering. Most of the jade produced by this native ore is colorless.
Moreover, the quality of the native mineral jade is often very average, far less than that of the jade produced in secondary ore such as iron and copper. Because the formation of jade color is the condition that secondary ore must exist, so those
There must be a companion mine around the brightly colored jade growth bar realm. Five minutes later, everyone bypassed a mountain road and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.
From that half of the mountain, the mountain is still complete, but after passing by the mountain path, there is a flat mountain in front of you. Half of the mountain has been flattened, and there are several deep pits underground.
Seeing someone coming, several soldiers guarding the periphery immediately surrounded him. After negotiating with the people on Wu Gang's side, he did not ask for a body search, but he stood not far from the few people holding a gun, staring at the
Their every move. "This...is all this jade?"
In a large pit covering an area of more than fifty meters long and more than forty meters wide, Wang Ding climbed the ladder to the bottom of the pit, looking at the stone in front of him with disbelief "Emerald" in front of him in disbelief.
The surface of jadeite, which is as big as a hill, is full of white crystal substances. If you look closely along these crystals, you can occasionally find some green, but the water quality is extremely poor, and even the bean type cannot reach it. It is a low-grade jadeite.
Wang Ding followed the giant jade, which was several dozen meters long and wide, and found that there were deep holes in every part of the jade. It must have been to investigate the quality of the jade inside.
However, this piece of material is very consistent inside and outside. Wang Ding observed it with spiritual energy and found that it does contain a lot of jade meat, but the quality is the same as what you see outside, and it is a lower-grade jade variety.
If this piece of jade is untied, the stalks can only be made into small jewelry worth a few dozen yuan at most. It would be better to just place them like this. If the Myanmar government axe has a way to move it out, build a museum to collect tickets.
If you exhibit it to the outside world, you can make a lot of money.
"It's 36 meters long, 126 meters high, and extending inward by 19 meters. It's incredible. The reason why this native ore produces color should be that in the late stage of jade formation, the earth's crust changes, and liquid invades it, producing ionic effects.
, these green vein-shaped jadeites.
This also destroyed the entire jade structure, but such a large piece of jade is equivalent to a small ore vein, which is incredible..."
Professor Ma and Professor Liang went down to the bottom of the mine, pulled the tape ruler and started measuring. After working for more than ten minutes, they measured the size of the "King of Jade" and gave them together.
Wang Ding and Qian Le who went down to the mine explained the reason for the formation of this jade.
"It's big, but the material is too bad. The carved things are only ten or eight yuan per piece. If this is glass-like, that would be valuable..."
Wang Ding said with a smile, but his words attracted the contemptuous eyes of the two skilled men, glass type, what a joke!
If this is a piece of glass-type jade, it can buy the entire Myanmar government axe, and it will still be left here and cannot be taken out? With the jingling sound of Myanmar government axe, it would have been unloaded countless times long ago.
The block was sold.
More than half an hour later, Wu Gang greeted several people from above, and he invited Professor Ma and Liang to come, mainly to find the mineral veins for him and bring them here to visit. It was just by the way, this old pit mine had already
The production has been discontinued, and there is no other look at it except this so-called "King of Jade".
Wang Ding was sitting in the same car with two experts this time. After seeing the jade, they were in high spirits and did not feel the road was bumpy. They were talking about the jade.
Wang Ding also learned some knowledge next to him. In the past, he only knew that jade was picked from stones, but now he at least understood some of the formation factors and environments of jade.
After the convoy went down the mountain, he drove away from Wulu River and turned into a fork. The road became increasingly difficult to walk. After nearly two hours, he stopped at the entrance of a bald mountain, but around it,
It is a forest with lush branches and leaves.
Several large trucks were parked at the foot of the mountain, as well as more than 20 houses built with wood, and more than a dozen people holding weapons were walking back and forth there. When they saw the arrival of the convoy, they surrounded them.
You can't climb the mountain here, but you have to take the cable car. Wang Ding and Qian Le went up the second wave. There were only two of them on this car. It was very spacious when standing inside. Although the speed of the rail car was not fast,
A few minutes later, I also rose to the middle of the mountain and looked at the figure at the foot of the mountain. It had become smaller. (To be continued.)
