Although the jade mine is important, it is more important to stabilize these soldiers and officials and understand the situation in the city of Kumandalay.

In the General's Palace.

Wang Chen first stabilized the mood of the soldiers and officials, asked them to loosen their restraints, and sat down one by one, while he sat on the Taishi chair that Yeyinang didn't know where to get it, and took a sip of Zhang Qing's tea with a teacup, "Deng Danwen, you used to be the city lord, tell me about the situation in the city, how much population, financial situation, agricultural situation, etc. ”

Deng Danwen was very knowledgeable, got up and arched his hand and said: "Back to the great president," there are 65,000 households in the city and about 200,000 people in the city, and the major tribes cannot be counted, it is estimated that there are 1.5 million people, a radius of 75,000 li, and a tax of 13,000 yuan, agriculture is very good, and every household has surplus grain. ”

The population of the city is 200,000!

In total, the population is over one and a half million!

In addition, the area is nearly 38,000 square kilometers!

Damn, this ancient Mandalay city is a bit awesome, and the jurisdiction is so vast?

Wang Chen could understand all of this, but the only thing he didn't understand was what kind of tax, and he blinked and said, "What is that?"

As soon as he finished asking, before Li Qing could translate, Xiao Jianhua took over the conversation and said: "Lord, many small countries around me do not have their own currency, most of them use sea shells, and the same is true for Bagan and Dali, which are divided into large shells, strong shellfish, and shellfish. Small shellfish, there is a smaller sea shell, but not as a currency use, they have a certain size and discount standard, such as large shellfish, four inches and eight minutes long, worth two hundred and sixteen, small shellfish, one inch and two minutes long, worth ten, generally speaking, five shellfish for a string, two strings for a friend, especially in Dali and the surrounding small countries, they take sixteen large shells as a look, about Song money 3,456 Wen. ”

I see.

To be honest, even if Wang Chen has been learning ancient history all along, he really doesn't understand this.

He calculated in his heart that one mime was equal to three thousand four hundred and fifty-six pieces of Song money, and if it was thirteen thousand yuan, it was probably equal to forty-four thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight pieces of Song money.

After the calculation, Wang Chen was taken aback, damn, the tax revenue of Gumandalay City is on par with Yangzhou? Is it true or false? He couldn't believe it: "Thirteen thousand dollars in taxes?"

Li Qing translated the past.

Dendanwin nodded vigorously, "Yes." After that, he may have felt that Wang Chen was a little unconvinced, and explained, "Our city is very developed in tea, silk weaving, winemaking, jade pondering, copper casting and gold leaf crafts, as well as shipbuilding, food, woodcarving, gold and silver jewelry, etc., and it is also a material distribution center and the largest transportation center in the country. The waterway along the Irrawaddy River can be traced up to Myitkyina, south to Daguang, the road south to Daguang, north to Myitkyina, Lashio, extending in all directions, our city is the land of rice, rice, wheat, sugarcane, soybeans and so on are planted. ”

Hearing this, Wang Chen showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect that Gu Mandalay City would be so developed, to tell the truth, if it weren't for the calculation of Haibei, he estimated that Gu Mandalay City was much more developed than Yangzhou and Tongzhou.

In fact, Wang Chen didn't know that Myanmar's economy has been very developed since ancient times, but it can't be done in modern times.

Especially after the Silk Road was launched in the Han Dynasty, some people may ask, what is the relationship between the Silk Road and Burma? Many people may not know that the Silk Road is not one, but three, one of which is from Sichuan and Shu through Dali, Burma and even Central Asia and the Mediterranean region, naturally, Myanmar's economy is driven by very developed.

In addition, Myanmar is rich in natural resources and suitable for growing crops, and the city of Kumandalay is second to none in Myanmar.

I conquered an ancient Burmese "Yangzhou", if you manage it well, it will be too helpful to rule.

Wang Chen's heart was pounding, originally there were only two reasons for him to attack the ancient city of Mandalay, first, the crossing point was here, and second, as a supply base, Wang Chen thought about it and said: "In this case, Li Qing, prepare a notice for me and Mr. Xiao, telling the people in the city to live in peace for a long time, and our army will not offend the people." ”

"Yes. ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

The two agreed to come down one after the other.

Later, Wang Chen asked about the grain, grass, equipment and other information, and learned that the grain and grass reserves in the city were sufficient, with more than 2,000 horses, dozens of elephants, and a lot of bows and arrows, guns, spears, swords, armor, and so on.

After listening, Wang Chen didn't say anything more, but said: "Mr. Xiao, help me take over the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion, by the way, except for the official who is in charge of mining jadeite, everyone else is imprisoned together." ”

"Yes. ”

Wang Chen didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and asked people to escort Deng Danwen and the others, and by the way, handed over the bugging device to the escorted villagers, and let them take advantage of Deng Danwen and the others not paying attention, put them in the room where they were escorting, and finally, let the translator Li Qing always pay attention to what this group of officials and soldiers said.

As for the jadeite contributed by the officials, it has been taken by people, but Wang Chen has more important things to do, and he wants to see how the jadeite mine is.

When the person was taken down, Wang Chen said to Maung Lun: "Where is Mo Moliang mining?"

Xiang Xianglun said with a flattering face: "Report to the president, Mo Moliang is mining about a hundred miles away from the south of the city, do you want to prepare, tomorrow morning, I will wait for the horse to ride over?"

In ancient times, a hundred miles was still a long way to go.

Even if the roads near the city of Kumandalay are very well-developed, it takes an hour or two to ride a horse, and if you count the rest in between, the return trip, etc., you can't get it for most of the day.

However, Wang Chen used a reserve light armored car, he waved his hand and said: "No, let's go now, I'll take you over with an immortal weapon, and you can show the way." ”

"Immortal weapon?" Maung Lun was stunned.

Li Qing laughed and said: "Don't you know, our president is an immortal in the sky, just like the Buddha you believe in, he is a living god, and the weapons we used to attack your city this time are all immortal weapons brought by the president from the fairy world, so how can you resist the power of mortals? In my opinion, you don't believe in any Buddha, it is more practical to believe in the president." ”

For Wang Chen's force, Maung Lun must be convinced, after all, their army was beaten and had no power to fight back, let alone fight back, it was too late to escape, but when he heard Li Qing compare Wang Chen with the Buddha, Maung Maung Lun was a little unconvinced, feeling that he was talking big, a living immortal? Can he compare with the Buddha?

Myanmar's belief in Buddhism is too deep-rooted, which is also the main reason for the decline of the Bagan Dynasty, which was too powerful later, Bagan believed in Buddhism too much, resulting in the Bagan Dynasty when it was the strongest, the area of the Pagoda Temple exceeded the agricultural planting area, and the Pagoda Temple did not have to pay taxes, and the Bagan Dynasty became more and more empty, and was finally annihilated by the Mongol Empire in one fell swoop.

……

Take out light logistics armored vehicles from space.

Wang Chen didn't hide anything, and took it out in front of Maung Lun, Xiao Feng and another translator.

Suddenly seeing a white monster out of thin air, he was startled, "This ...... What is this?"

Wang Chen ignored it, opened the driver's door and climbed up.

Xiao Feng snorted, "This is our president's immortal weapon, Mr. Li told you just now that the president is the same existence as the Buddha, a living immortal, have you forgotten?"

Take out the white monster out of thin air!

Originally, I didn't believe that Wang Chen was a fairy, but at this moment, I believed it in my heart, yes, if it wasn't a fairy, how could I "conjure" something out of thin air.

Urging a few people to get into the car.

Wang Chen started the car, well, because this is a transportation hub, although the road is not as smooth as the later national highways and highways, but driving a light logistics armored car is no different from driving a car.

Considering that it was already in the afternoon, in order to come back early, and there was no one on the road, Wang Chen drove very fast, reaching eighty yards.

As soon as the speed of the car was fast, the appearance of the person sitting in the back was even more shocked.

At lightning speed!

It's really fast!

The scenery on both sides of the road regressed at a rapid speed, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of kilometers passed.

Maung Chang Lun's mouth opened slightly in shock, and he kept shouting along the way: "Buddha!

"Oh my God!"

"It's incredible!"

"What kind of artifact is this, so fast?"

A whole bunch of useless words.

At first, Wang Chen couldn't understand and asked the translator to explain a few words, but later when he heard that it was all nonsense, his face darkened, and he was a little upset by the noise, and ordered: "Let him shut up!"

You're not welcome.

Even so, Maung Lun still closed his mouth in awe, and no longer disdained Li Qing to say that Wang Chen was a living immortal like he did just now, and even thought that if he could see his colleagues when he went back, he must talk about Wang Chen's magic, and he couldn't offend, this kind of god living in the world really can't be offended.

Eighty yards is just too fast.

It's about 50 kilometers of 100 miles.

If it weren't for the fact that the road closer to the mining area became more difficult, Wang Chen was sure that he would have arrived within 40 minutes, but in the end it took an hour.

Arrive at the mine.

As soon as the car stopped, he saw countless coolies mining ore on the mountains and by the river, some with hammers, some burning stones on the fire below, and at a glance, about four or five hundred people.

Wang Chen, who was sitting in the driver's seat, said: "Looks good, call the person in charge of mining Mo Moliang over." ”

"Good. With the help of Xiao Feng, Maung Maung Lun got out of the car.

Wang Chen said again: "Xiao Feng, you go with him, if he makes any changes, kill him on the spot." ”

"Yes, President. Xiao Feng got out of the car with the translator.

Wang Chen sat in the driver's seat and didn't move, turned on the virtual screen, he remembered that when he drove the tank, he saw that the colorful light swallowed a lot of black gas, as if a new skill had been generated, but he was busy fighting at the time, and later communicated with Deng Danwen and others, so he didn't have time to see any skills.

Hey, the third skill has appeared, and the fourth seems to be hatching as well.

Wang Chen was very surprised, the fourth hatching speed was a bit slow, even if he had the support of the power of faith in the Jinghai and Mengyin regions of Tongzhou, the first word of the fourth skill had not yet hatched, but it only showed a horizontal line of "day" and "inch", it should be correct to guess, the first word is the word "time" of time.

What exactly the feature is is not known yet.

But the third feature is clearly written, teleporting X20.

Teleporting X20?

What the heck?

Wang Chen was a little puzzled, like there are no standard numbers on positioning teleportation and time rewind, not to mention positioning teleportation, it can be used anytime and anywhere, but time rewind is not, it can only be used once a day, but it can be accumulated, that is, if he doesn't use it for a hundred days, then he can use time rewind a hundred times, which is equivalent to going backwards for a hundred minutes.

But what does teleportation X20 mean?

Does that mean you can use it twenty times? Do you use it twenty times a day, or can you use it twenty times in total? Can it be cumulative?

Wang Chen didn't know about these, and he would not know until after experimenting, but according to the consistent urine properties of the mysterious space, it should not be used a total of twenty times, if he guessed correctly, the worst result is that he can use it twenty times a day, maybe it can be accumulated.

Teleportation, as the name suggests, should be similar to the flash point in League of Legends, allowing you to travel through a space to another place, but how far will it be?

Anyway, there was nothing to do for the time being, so Wang Chen decided to try it.

He clicked to teleport, but didn't respond.

Wang Chen: "......"

How could it be unresponsive?

Isn't it click-and-click?

Wang Chen tried to move his heart at will, and silently moved in his heart to get out of the car.

Brush the floor.

He suddenly felt a flicker in front of him, and when he regained his sight, he found that he was already on the ground outside the car, well, he was sitting in the driver's seat just now, and he moved outside and sat down, and his butt hurt a little.

Really teleported.

Wang Chen was very happy, and looked at the virtual screen again, and found that the value had changed, and he moved X19 instantly.

It seems that the latter one represents the number of uses.

After knowing how to use it, Wang Chen wanted to test the distance, and he moved his heart at will at the mine five hundred meters away, using teleportation.

All right.

No response.

It is estimated that the distance is exceeded.

Wang Chen reduced the distance and used teleportation to aim at the mountainside about 400 meters away, but there was still no response.

At this time, he vaguely saw that about three hundred meters away from him, Xiao Feng, the translator, Maung Lun and a figure were walking in the direction of the car, Wang Chen once again reduced the distance of use by one hundred meters, and used teleportation again.

Brush.

This one was a success!

The next moment, Wang Chen appeared directly in front of Maung Maung Lun, Xiao Feng, the translator, and another short Burmese man in his thirties.

Wang Chen, who suddenly appeared of the four of them, was startled.

"Straight thief!"

"Ouch scared the hell out of me!"

The good-looking and sturdy Burmese men also shouted loudly, because the interpreter was in shock, and Wang Chen didn't know what it meant.

Xiao Feng rubbed his eyes and stammered, "Big ...... Great President, you ...... Why did you suddenly appear out of thin air?"

"Yes, I saw that you were still next to the car just now, hundreds of feet away from us, and you came to us all of a sudden?" the translator said dumbfounded.

The distance of use is about 300 meters.

Wang Chen calculated in his heart, then waved his hand with a smile and said: "This is my immortal family's means, don't be surprised, and talk to Xiangxianglun." ”

"Yes. The translator explained to the good-looking, short, Burmese man.

As soon as the good-looking and sturdy Burmese men heard this, the awe in the eyes of the two of them became even stronger, the immortals, the real immortals, otherwise, how could they come from a place hundreds of feet away in the blink of an eye?

Especially the appearance of Lun, even more recalled what Li Qing said before, and his heart trembled, I damn it, I really met an immortal, comparable to the living immortal of the Buddha.

Wang Chen didn't know what they were thinking at all, and asked, "Maung Lun, how much Mo Moliang can be mined here every day?"

Maung Maung Lun said a few words to the short man.

The short man replied respectfully: "Back to the president, it's hard to say how much Mo Moliang can mine, sometimes you can mine hundreds of catties a day, and sometimes you can't mine a catty a day." ”

Wang Chen was surprised: "Why?"

The short man explained carefully, nowadays the jadeite rough is mined by hand, unlike later high-tech, basically all by chance, or rather, some masters have experience, probably can distinguish which stones may have jadeite, and then let people use the hot method to get the stones open.

As a result, sometimes a lot of jadeite can be made in one day, and sometimes it is all ordinary stones without jadeite.

Very inefficient.

But there is no way, now it can only be like this.

And there are several ways to mine jadeite, one is to dig a hole in the ground, like digging a well, digging a hole vertically downward, and if you dig a stone, you will use a basket to transport it to the top for the workers to pick. The second type is called opening a pond, digging a hole vertically downwards is digging a hole vertically, and opening a pond is a horizontal digging hole. Dig a hole horizontally to open a hole the size of a fish pond, and let experienced people pick and choose.

The third is called flushing seedlings, and if the surface soil layer is relatively thin, you can use the method of flushing seedlings. With a large amount of water to wash the surface and expose the ore, the workers can follow the pumping machine to select the ore and tell if it is a real jadeite.

The last is salvage, in which workers carry wheat pipes or open reed poles in their mouths, and ropes and stones tied around their waists, and go down to rivers and ponds to identify jade gravel with their feet.

It can be said that it is very difficult.

The short man pointed to the workers who were digging a hole a hundred meters away, "That's the new hole we opened today, and we have already dug out three stones with Mo Mo Liang......

Before he could finish speaking, there was a commotion from there.

Wang Chen didn't understand.

The interpreter listened attentively for a while, and said with some disbelief: "They seem to have found a very good jadeite rough, which is very green and very transparent. ”

Well?

Could it be that the glass imperial green rough has been mined?

Wang Chen's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about greeting everyone, so he directly used teleportation to come to the newly opened mine.

With a swipe on the floor, he was gone.

The good-looking, short and stout man gasped,, it's true, this big president from a foreign country can really appear from somewhere out of thin air, and then reappear somewhere else!

Even Xiao Feng, who was accustomed to Wang Chen's magic, couldn't help but swallow his saliva at the moment, he knew that Wang Chen was usually very awesome, but he didn't expect it to be so awesome, he crossed a distance of dozens of zhang at once, God, too godly, worthy of being a living immortal!

The four of them hurried towards the new mine.

At this time, more than 20 coolies in the mine stopped moving, and looked at Wang Chen who suddenly appeared with a stunned face, and some even trembled for a moment, thinking that they had encountered a monster.

Fortunately, Maung Maung Lun and others rushed to tell everyone that Wang Chen was the same existence as the Buddha.

All the Burmese coolies looked incredulous, there really was a god, and they quickly knelt down and bowed.

Wang Chen waved his hand, asked the interpreter to communicate with them, avoided bowing, and then asked, "Where is the Mo Moliang you mined just now?"

One of them, a relatively tall Burmese shirtless, hurriedly picked up a stone the size of a bowl from his foot and pointed to it, "There is Mo Mo Liang in this stone." ”

Wang Chen looked over, this is a round stone, has been naturally opened, a small half of the green jade exposed outside, very green, has been close to the imperial green, but compared with the imperial green ring in his hand, there is a gap, if you are not mistaken, it should belong to Zhengyang green.

The jadeite of Zhengyang green is extremely valuable, and it is the color second only to imperial green.

Wang Chen's face was moved, and he stretched out his hand and said, "I'll take a look." ”

"Yes, President. The tall Burmese handed over the rough stone.

Under the sun, Wang Chen lowered his head to observe, the small half of the jadeite exposed outside is brighter than the imperial green, the fullness of the color is between 70% and 80%, the color is evenly distributed, and the green is like a fresh spring bud, which is sure to be Zhengyang green.

And the flesh of this small half of jadeite is not a glass species, it looks a bit like an ice cube in the refrigerator, it belongs to a translucent jadeite, translucent with an ice texture, giving people a feeling of ice and jade, three points of warmth, seven points of cold, the appearance is like ice like water, refreshing and comfortable, ice through the heart, but also revealing a trace of hazy subtle beauty, a texture is very orderly, like the soul in the jade, every posture shows the grace.

The transparency is very high.

Wang Chen can see some small cotton spots presented inside, not much, it does not affect the value of this jadeite, he held it and estimated the weight, about seven or eight catties, and he didn't know how much the stone part occupied.

"Get the Mo Mo Liang out inside. Wang Chen gave the order.

Maung Maung Lun hurriedly said, "Go quickly." ”

Out of the crowd came a thin old man in his fifties, who respectfully took the jade rough from Wang Chen's hand, and then took four or five people to the nearby fire to barbecue the stones.

Wang Chen followed and didn't say anything.

After burning for a while, the old man picked up a basin of cold water and poured it on it.

With a thud, the whole stone burst open.

Broken into pieces, each piece contains the same jade as the small half of the exposed outside, all of which are ice species Zhengyang green, the most important thing, Wang Chen took a look at it a little, and the skin of the stone was only a little thinner.

In other words, if only the stone layer is peeled off, this is a football-shaped ice Zhengyang green jade ball, but now, because of the use of the fire method, it is broken into pieces!

Wozh!

What a waste!

Wang Chen didn't say a word, and immediately used time rewind to go back five minutes ago.

The old man was about to take the jade rough and roast it on the fire.

Wang Chen hurriedly said: "Don't use the hot method!"

The translator shouted.

The old man was stunned and asked, "President, what's wrong?"

Maung Lun, Xiao Feng and the others next to him also looked at it, revealing puzzled looks.

Wang Chen almost rushed to hold the jade rough in his hand, so he said in a mysterious way: "I observed it with Tianyantong, this Mo Mo Liang rough stone only has a small layer of stone skin on the outside, and the inside is full of Mo Mo Liang. ”

Hearing this, the old man laughed dumbly, there is a sentence how to say, it is difficult for immortals to break jade, this sentence is very suitable for jadeite, even if you are a fairy, you can tell how much jadeite is in the stone?

The jadeite miners didn't believe it.

However, Maung Lun saw Wang Chen's magic but was convinced, and said a few words loudly, "Hurry up and find someone to peel off the stone skin little by little, don't use the fiery method." ”

"I'll come. The old man stretched out his hand, and it seemed that he was a real master with plenty of experience.

Wang Chen handed over the jadeite rough stone and told him: "It's only about half an inch thick stone skin, don't dig it deep." ”

"Okay. The old man didn't think so, but he still agreed, he asked people to take an iron sheet similar to frosted paper, and then held the jade rough in his arms, rubbed it with the iron sheet a little bit, and the stone skin slowly peeled off.

Everyone stared.

Because this piece of rough stone skin is too thin, it didn't wipe off much stone skin, and the jade flesh of ice seed Zhengyang green was exposed inside!

At this moment, more than 20 people present were in an uproar!

The translator was very responsible, and told Wang Chen what every sentence he could hear clearly meant.

"O Shakyamuni Buddha!"

"It's really just a thin layer of stone skin!"

"This Mo Mo Liang is so big and round, I have been mining Mo Mo Liang for more than ten years, and it is the first time I have seen it!"

"Didn't you say that it was difficult for the gods to break the jade? My God, this great president is so powerful that he can see at a glance that the stone skin of this rough stone is very thin, and it is full of Mo Moliang. ”

"I just heard Chief Maung Lun say that the president is a living immortal?"

"It must be a living immortal, the same existence as the Buddha, otherwise how could you know how many Mo Moliang are inside?"

"God!"

"It's incredible!"

Even Xiao Feng was dumbfounded and said, "Big ...... President, are you really just the lord of the city god? Aren't you a Da Luo Immortal? Isn't it said that it is difficult for an immortal to break jade?"

Wang Chen smiled and waved his hand: "That's your misunderstanding of immortals, real immortals can cover the sky and the sun, what's so difficult to distinguish a jade?"

As they talked, the old man sped up and peeled off the stone skin.

Fortunately, the stone skin is very thin, and about half an hour later, a crystal clear and sunny green jade ball appeared in front of everyone's eyes!

Brilliant to dazzling!

It's so green that it's like a ray of light, and it's terrifying!

Even Wang Chen, who knew the result, couldn't help but inhale, after all, the original stone was blown into pieces just now, not a jade ball, there is no intuitive impression, and now I see a whole piece of jade ball, weighing about six catties, and it is ice Zhengyang green, which is absolutely valuable!

Damn, it's good that buddy has a time lapse.

Otherwise, the value of this piece of jadeite will be greatly reduced!

Wang Chen hurriedly took the jade ball, and couldn't put it down in his hand, this newly mined jade mine is really awesome, just mined and found an ice Zhengyang green jade ball, maybe there is a chance to mine the glass imperial green large jadeite, it is very possible!

He was already so excited that he couldn't do it, and hurriedly ordered: "If you find a similar jadeite rough, don't use the fiery method, and send it directly to the city, I will be greatly rewarded, understand?"

"Understood. ”

"Yes. ”

The crowd agreed.

Wang Chen was satisfied with holding the jade ball and walked back: "Let's go, let's go back." ”

"Okay President. Maung Maung Lun followed behind.

Xiao Feng and the translator didn't say anything more.

Wang Chen's heart was hot, he remembered that Deng Danwen and others said that they would contribute jade to themselves, and go back to see what good things were.

Sent it.

Dude's attack on Kumandalay City this time really made a move.

Not only has there been a new weapon "teleportation", but also got a mine that seems to be very abundant in jadeite, and after a while, I will go to Myanmar in modern society to participate in the public market, and know more jade merchants, maybe I will be able to make a lot of money!

Wang Chen is in a particularly good mood, he feels that the title of the largest jadeite supplier in the future modern society is beckoning to him, and now the modern society Myanmar government has issued a series of restrictions on jadeite mining, according to relevant news, until 2021, maybe the jadeite rough will not be sold, so he is not afraid that a large number of jadeite will impact the market and cause the price to decrease, who makes the jadeite market in short supply.

Wang Chen secretly clenched his fists, feeling that he was really rich in modern society, and he might have to start from the jade industry.
