Chapter 759: Heavenly Realm
In fact, wages in Myanmar are generally low, mainly because the country has been in the midst of civil unrest for so many years.
In such a small country, even a high-sounding profession like a police officer has a pitifully low salary.
How much do you ask?
That's just a few hundred RMB. Of course, the police in Myanmar work very short hours, they usually only work half a day, and at most they leave work at 3 p.m., so they can go about their own business.
In our country, civil servants were allowed to do business in the past, but later it was banned because it caused a lot of chaos.
In fact, although the Myanmar police are also police, their functions are too different from those of the police in China, not that there is nothing for them to do, but because they can't interfere in many things.
Besides, the elder brother in Myanmar has its own way of policing, except that the matter is not called to the police at all, and it is solved directly by itself, and if a petty thief is caught, it will not be sent to the police, but directly abused lynching.
It is for this reason that the possibility of major crimes in Myanmar is relatively high, such as murder and arson, but there are not many petty thefts, which is such a strange scene.
In addition, Burmese people are accustomed to building houses out of bamboo, and they are demolished and rebuilt every three years, so it is not clear from the houses that anyone has money. Ordinary Burmese people have money, save some money to buy gold, and keep it at home and don't know what to do with it.
Of course. It's a different story with immigrants like Yang Yaoshan, who now have a lot of Chinese immigrants to Myanmar. They have already started to build houses according to their own habits, such as the villa complex in Mandalay. Of course, when you go to Myanmar, there is a habit that you unknowingly infect, and that is the love of gold.
The Chinese also love gold, but it is definitely not as crazy as the Burmese, they will buy gold when they have spare money, which is of course a practical need, the Burmese currency is too worthless and too unstable. Many people are not at ease, but gold is different, since the beginning of paper money, human beings have referred to gold to determine the value of money.
Although the Bretton Woods system determined the dominance of the dollar, in the final analysis, the dollar is still based on gold, and the real significance of national reserves is actually gold.
Gold in troubled times, collected in prosperous times.
This illustrates a point. Gold is still very useful even in troubled times, and the situation in Myanmar is no different from troubled times, even under so-called democracy. There is still war.
Speaking of gold, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but think of the treasure site he found in Savage Mountain, where there were twenty tons of gold. In addition, there is a golden Buddha, which is five meters high. And it's cast, not hollow. How powerful do you think this is?
When the Japanese were able to recover so much gold from Burma, of course, it came from those pagodas, and on the other hand, it was also related to the Burmese habit of collecting gold.
"I'll tell you, I know a lot about Myanmar, I'll talk to you today, although the road in Myanmar is not easy to walk, and the car is not good, but the people live happily. The tour guide was explaining some things about Myanmar to everyone, when suddenly a person volunteered to stand up and said loudly.
The man was wearing glasses and a suit, and he looked like an intellectual, but it was just a hot day, and his shirt was soaked.
Anyway, it was all small talk, and seeing him so positive, everyone applauded, wanting to hear what he had to say.
The man cleared his throat and said with a smile: "If you want me to say, on the surface, China is more advanced and richer than Myanmar, and China's GDP and per capita GDP are several times that of Myanmar, and it is said that China is richer than Myanmar." From what I have seen and heard in the two and a half years I have lived in China, I know that the Chinese people are actually much more difficult and harder than the Burmese people. ”
"Oh, you can talk about it!" Zhang Tianyuan looked at this person with great interest, although he had not been in Burma for a long time, but he had some say in the situation in Burma, and this person had put forward such a fresh conclusion, he wanted to hear what he wanted to say.
"As the tour guide sister said just now, the proportion of Myanmar farmers in the total population is about the same as that of China, but Myanmar farmers are self-sufficient, and the state does not extract taxes from agriculture at all, and there are not so many officials in China to feed. Myanmar's agricultural technology is backward compared with that of China, which is mainly caused by the laziness of Myanmar farmers. If the Burmese peasants were as able to endure hardships as the Chinese peasants, the Burmese countryside would certainly be richer than the Chinese peasants. China has the most hard-working peasants in the world and the highest agricultural yields, but the peasants in China are too oppressed and the taxes are too heavy. For the majority of the population, the Burmese peasants are much easier than the Chinese peasants. ”
"I didn't mean that, I just said that there are no taxes in Myanmar. The tour guide girl was in a hurry, this person obviously distorted her point of view.
"Hehe, let this kid speak, see what kind of flower he can say, listen to what he means, that is to say, the life of a lazy man is always easier than that of a hard-working person, and the beggar on the road is more relaxed every day, if you want to eat, you want to ask for food, the question is are you willing to be a beggar?"
"Hmph, I don't want to fight with you about this, the Burmese people enjoy full freedom of movement! The Chinese people want temporary residence permits on their own land, but Myanmar does not need them, and there are no cases of people being detained and killed because of temporary residence permits. Burmese people can ask for food opposite the presidential palace, or they can live in a shack in a prosperous area like Chang'an Avenue in China, and no one rushes around like ducks on the grounds of affecting the city's appearance. The bespectacled intellectual was quick to throw out his arguments.
"Hahaha, what you say sounds really interesting, if someone sets up a shed in front of your house to live, and the sewage flows sideways, and the smell is stinking, are you willing? Speaking of temporary residence permits, aren't they slowly changing now? The little boss laughed.
"What about the chengguan! Myanmar has not smashed the chengguan of the stall owners! In Myanmar, tricycles will not be banned because they affect the government's image. As long as you can find a way to make a living somewhere, no one cares about you. In China, it is much stricter, and officials care more about their external image than about the lives of the people. ”
"Yo Yo Yo. When you go to work, you find that the streets are all occupied by all kinds of stalls, and you can't walk, let alone drive, are you happy? Chengguan does have a lot of problems, but don't let a gang beat them to death, tricycles don't affect the government's image, it's not safe. How many accidents have happened, and the dead people are not looking for you, so you don't feel a backache when you stand and talk?"
"Okay, okay, don't talk about these heavy topics, boring or not, political zhì that's something that the political zhì family cares about, tour guide girl, tell us something interesting, for example, I heard that Myanmar doesn't have polygamy? Zhang Tianyuan listened to the two people arguing there. It's as if I saw the fight between Gongzhi and Wumao on the Internet, and I felt very annoyed, so I simply led the topic elsewhere.
At the mention of polygamy, the eyes of many men in the car lit up. This is where the quarrel between the two men comes to an abrupt end.
Like Zhang Tianyuan, I didn't know that polygamy was possible in Myanmar, but there were many people, and I heard Zhang Tianyuan say that it was possible to be polygamous. That is, a man can marry several wives, and these men can not be excited?
Someone is sitting next to his girlfriend or wife. I also pricked up my ears and listened carefully, but I didn't dare to turn my head around. I'm afraid of being pulled in the ear.
"In this part of Myanmar, although polygamy is not written into the law, but in fact it is zài, of course, how much strength you have, then how many wives you can marry, this is the same as our ancient landlord Lao Cai married a daughter-in-law, you must have money to support your wife and children, otherwise, the government will come to you for trouble, when the time comes, you will not be able to enjoy the joy of Qi people, but also bear the responsibility. ”
"How much money can you afford to raise?" A man's hala is about to flow out, which is much more unbearable than Zhang Tianyuan at the beginning, although Zhang Tianyuan also had the intention of marrying a few wives at the beginning, but he is not like this pig brother.
"Not much, not much, in fact, there is a habit in Myanmar, if you can buy about 25,000 RMB of land at one time, the seller will give you a wife, this wife should not be underestimated, although it may not be beautiful, but it is absolutely affordable, because she will be responsible for your work in the field, help you plant, harvest, threshing. ”
"So good!"
"Well, that's it. ”
"What does that man do? He doesn't do nothing, does he?"
"Have you seen the ancient landlords who still work in the fields, drinking tea, playing cards, shopping, chatting all day long, how noble is the status of men, how can they do those rough jobs?"
"My good man, more than 25,000 RMB can buy land and a wife?
"It's not much, it's just about ten acres!"
"My God! Ten acres, then I invested more than 50,000 yuan, wouldn't there be 20 acres of land, two wives, that is more than enough to support, a real big landlord, much happier than in China." Someone has already exclaimed, wondering if they have begun to think about immigration in their hearts.
Although the words that the bespectacled intellectual said just now were very funny, Zhang Tianyuan remembered that he had seen them five or six years ago, when the article on the Internet was about India, and this person just changed the name of the country, and the result was used instead, so he felt very bored in his heart.
But he thinks so, others don't necessarily think so, and there are really people who believe the words of the bespectacled intellectual, coupled with the words of this tour guide girl, which makes these people even more tempted.
Think about it, a country with no taxes, no urban management, freedom of residence, no Great Wall of the Internet, and polygamy, how beautiful it is, it can be said to be a man's paradise country.
But he didn't think about why most of the immigrants went to developed countries instead of Myanmar.
In the end, it's not because of those imaginary things, but because immigrants nowadays are very realistic.
It seems that it is deliberately instigating the people in the car to believe what they say, this tour guide girl also specially summed up, if you have more than 20,000 RMB, you can live a rich life in Myanmar, if you have 50,000 RMB, you will become a landlord class, if you have 100,000 RMB, and you know some Buddhist language, then congratulations, you will become the most respected person in Myanmar.
