Chapter 713 If you want to get rich, build roads first

There is a song that sings well, "If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow", but here, after experiencing wind and rain, you will find that the next thing may be a blizzard.

I thought that the potholed gravel road was difficult enough, but after walking that section of the road, when Zhang Tianyuan and others planned to rush comfortably, they suddenly found that the ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulty was not over, and the road without stones became an undulating dirt road.

In the driving position, it feels like a challenging racing race.

Zhang Tianyuan really felt that coming to Myanmar to drive a car was really a challenge, he was still too too young, too simple, thinking that he was born in the countryside and had walked a lot of bad roads, but he never thought that his hometown was not a mountainous area after all, although the road also had steep slopes, but on the whole it was very flat, even if it was a dirt road, it was also very flat, and the kind of stone road that was rarely encountered became a cement road after a few years.

But here, I feel like sitting here, dangling around, I can really shake out people's bitter gall.

Fortunately, Yang Yaoshan's four cars are all high-end cars, and they are relatively comfortable to sit in.

I thought that taking the previous helicopter was an ordeal, but now it seems that taking a car is a real torment, seeing that Professor Qin can actually sleep, Zhang Tianyuan can't help but be a little surprised, he can still sleep in such an environment. I guess I used to walk like this a lot, and I walked by car.

He shook his head with a wry smile. Zhang Tianyuan continued to swing involuntarily with the car in the car, and suddenly his eyes saw Seren's backpack. This cut doesn't matter, but it scared him a lot, there are a lot of grenades and plastic bombs in the backpack, what if it blows up, wouldn't it be dead!

Thinking of this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, where is this car, it feels like dancing on top of a bomb.

He was worried, but Yang Yaoshan was nervous. At this time, Yang Yaoshan looked at the trunk behind the car, where there was the piece of phoenix jade he was holding, he really had to go down with such a bump, and he would break things.

However, Zhang Tianyuan checked it with the perspective function of the word appreciation formula, and there was no problem, after all, it had been treated with special anti-concussion before, not to mention such shocks and bumps, even if it fell directly from the tenth floor. It will not be broken, for this treasure, Yang Yaoshan spent a lot of money just to carry out all aspects of protection measures. Zhang Tianyuan originally planned to give this money, but he didn't have the price at hand, it was the material of the water seed that he won from Yang Yaoshan. It's still on consignment there, and now the money hasn't arrived. Zhang Tianyuan only has pocket money.

Emerald is fine, in fact, grenades and plastic bombs are no problem. He had read it all and confirmed it, and then he was relieved.

In fact, he didn't have to be so nervous, think about the anti-Japanese war years, those roads were not easier than the roads in Burma, little Japan was not a truckload of grenades and bombs, and even explosives that were easier to detonate, and there were almost no cases of arms exploding on their own, at most they were blown up by mines.

His worry is completely in vain, now these modern equipment, the safety is still good, unless you buy imitation, it may really go wrong, this will not be.

Moreover, plastic bombs can only explode if they are detonated in a special way, which is generally relatively safe.

"I said Brother Yang, you are also a powerful figure in Myanmar, can't you find a way to repair this road? Every time you go back and forth, you don't feel that you should be in the diaphragm? This road is dangling, and people can shake out their bitter guts, I rely on it, my waist, what kind of broken road is this, the Burmese government has not done anything at all, and it has made so much money relying on jadeite, so it is reluctant to build a few roads? Look at our country, this is the comparison!"

Zhang Tianyuan was almost flashed waist, so he said swear words in anger, he really couldn't stand it, this broken road can almost kill people, fortunately he has the earth, and he can avoid being really flashed, but Professor Qin, who was sitting on the side, could only be fixed with a seat belt, otherwise people could be thrown out of the window directly.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, this ghost place doesn't even want to build roads, how can you get rich.

You know, the city is located on the west bank of the Maili Kaijiang River, a tributary of the upper reaches of the Irrawaddy River, in the northern mountainous and hilly area, with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, an average annual temperature of 23.7 °C, and an annual precipitation of about 2,000 mm. It produces teak and other timber, grows rice, sugarcane, etc., and is a processing center for silk reeling, timber and food, and a distribution center for agricultural products.

The fragrant rice produced near Myitkyina is called khatcho and is considered to be the best fragrant rice in Myanmar.

The city is also famous for its fruits, including pineapples, watermelons, lychees, and milk fruits, to name a few.

In addition, jadeite, there are too many livelihoods that can be used to make money, and it should be a very prosperous big city, but in fact, not only is the city poor, but the most troublesome thing is that even if things are produced, it is difficult to transport them out, which has become a big problem.

In addition to Myitkyina, let's talk about the whole of Myanmar, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, this is also very applicable, Myanmar has gold, silver, copper mines and many gem mines, but the people's living standards, but the poor are about the same as the war-torn countries in Africa, and the root cause of this is still in the government.

Of course, sometimes the government is quite helpless, and the wars in various places, the inconsistency of government decrees, and the lack of tough rule are all reasons.

"Alas, Brother Zhang, don't stand and talk without a backache, where is this something that can be done by being rich and powerful, the industrial level in Myanmar is relatively low, and it is very difficult to build roads in this environment, and our government is unwilling to let foreign engineering teams come in, so it directly leads this road Even if someone invests money, it can't be repaired. ”

"Furthermore, the place is characterized by constant unrest, fighting between the Kachin Independence Army and the Burmese government army. Basically, it's all done in this area, even if there are people who don't want to do the work. That's going to have to be done. So now these roads are annoying to everyone, but no one is willing to build them. ”

Yang Yaoshan didn't want to build this road. Then try to make Myitkyina a place that is at least worthy of the third- and fourth-tier cities in China, but the problem is that these methods will not work at all.

At this time, because there were no Burmese soldiers sitting in the car, the two of them spoke more casually, and Yang Yaoshan poured bitter water on Zhang Tianyuan.

The Yang clan has been in the jade business since the early Qing Dynasty, and they moved here from the mainland, they can be said to have witnessed the ups and downs of Myanmar, know a lot of things that happened in Myanmar, and are also witnesses and recorders of Myanmar history.

Myanmar is a country that has had many disasters.

Myanmar is an ancient civilization with a long history. Formerly known as Honsawady. After the formation of a unified state in 1044, it experienced three feudal dynasties of Bagan, Dongwu and Gongbang. Between 1824 and 1885, the British launched three wars of aggression against Burma and occupied Burma, and in 1886 the British made Burma a province of British India.

From the beginning of the last century, they were occupied by the British colonizers and became someone else's colony, until later, with the outbreak of World War II, the once glorious empire of the sun never set suffered an unprecedented blow in Europe, and there was no time to take care of Asian affairs. As a result, he was driven out of Burma by little Japan.

It was at this time that the original expeditionary force joined the war in order to drive out the Japanese invaders in Burma.

Until the re-establishment of the regime in Myanmar, it can be said that it relied on the help of our government. Finally, they broke away from British and Japanese rule and embarked on a path of independence.

However, the good times did not last long, and there were many ethnic groups in Myanmar. The family is in power, so that in addition to the government army. There are also large and small separatist forces, which are like the time of the Chinese warlords.

Except for these people. There are also the rout of the Kuomintang troops in the Golden Triangle and other places, as well as some Japanese soldiers who remain in Burma, making the country a miasma, and the war is continuous, as if whoever pulls a group of people can directly occupy the mountain as the king.

By the late 80s, the value of jadeite ore gradually became prominent, and the Myitkyina region became the focus of contention between government forces and local forces, and this dispute has not been completely subsided until now.

At the end of last year, there was a conflict here, and the scale was not small, the reason is very simple, because the government army wanted to come here to do business, and as a result, there was a conflict with the Kachin army, and then several people were killed, so the two sides went to war, and until now, it has not completely subsided, it is still intermittent, not as strict as before.

In Zhang Tianyuan's eyes, Myanmar is a peaceful country, a country that advocates Buddhism, a country with beautiful scenery and good air, it seems that the people here are very happy, as long as they dig up the jade produced in their own country, they can make a lot of money, and there is no contradiction between the government and the people.

But in fact, in Myitkyina, which is more than 150 kilometers long, the relationship is extremely complicated, and some small-scale wars often break out, of course, these things are not suitable for the outside world.

Unless something is too big, such as this large-scale fire between the Kachin army and the government army, they can't hide it if they want to.

Strictly speaking, the Yang clan is in this place, it should belong to the Kachin army's sphere of influence, but in fact, it is not the case, the Yang clan also has its own team, but they do not provoke the government army and the Kachin army on weekdays, as long as it does not affect his business, it doesn't matter if the two sides are beaten with corpses everywhere.

If anyone wants to snatch the territory and interests of their Yang clan, and snatch what should belong to them, it will be different, the mine guards trained by their family are not vegetarians, they have undergone the strictest and most demanding training, and have been supported by some people, many weapons are actually more advanced than the government army, these mine guards can become an army in a certain period of time, and compete with the government army or the Kachin army, the current calm is just the result of the compromise of all forces.

In this strange environment, it will be too difficult for the Yang clan to engage in infrastructure construction, because once he starts, this construction may have to pass through the territory of a few, or even a dozen, dozens of forces, not only is the process very troublesome, but even if you repair it, it is also a wedding dress for others.

This is all good, at least you can still use it, and some warlords will dig the road again in order to prevent the government army from invading along the road. (To be continued......)
