Qi Lipei's words were not exaggerated, but they did not tell the whole story.

In those mining areas that were abandoned after the failure of gambling mines, not only Qi Lipei's family, but also many large and small families once collapsed there and spent a lot of manpower and material resources.

If Li Feng is not mistaken, there were more than 20 gambling and mining teams in the mountains where the Aung San family and the Qi Li Pei family crossed the sphere of influence, which lasted three or four years and invested more than tens of trillions of kyats, but in the end nothing was found.

The most pitiful of all is a small tribe named Gangmeng, who developed rapidly and sprung up as a sudden army, and in just thirty years, they successively annexed all the lands and tribes within a radius of 50 kilometers around them.

But just when General Gang Meng was ambitious to compete with the four major families, the family's gambling and mining experts discovered the ore vein in the area that Liu Yuhao had just pointed out.

General Gangmeng was ecstatic, temporarily abandoning the goal set by his family and devoting all his money to the exploration of jadeite and jade mines.

Needless to say, everyone can imagine the result!

Because of the failure of the gambling mine, the family capital chain was broken, and the miraculously rising Gang Meng family was divided by a small and small armed force overnight, and more than 80 members of General Gang Meng's family, young and old, were all beheaded for public display.

Could it be that Liu Yuhao will lead the Qi Li Pei family to re-follow the path of General Gang Meng?

Qi Li Pei didn't dare to imagine the scene of more than 300 members of his family being beheaded, if he had to say it, it would definitely be a river of blood and a bloody raft.

Don't play that big!

"Fifty kilometers further upstream of the Wulong River is also on the mining extension, why doesn't anyone go there to explore for jade mines?"

Liu Yuhao smiled faintly and waved his hand, he knew that he couldn't immediately convince Qi Lipei's worries with just a few words, so he took the initiative to change the topic.

Qi Lipei sat next to Liu Yuhao and smiled apologetically, and said: "There is a protected area over there, which is the wealth we left to future generations, and neither the family nor the government is allowed to mine it." ”

"I didn't expect you Burmese people to have such a concept of trickling water and flowing long."

Liu Yuhao smiled, he still very much agreed with the establishment of a jadeite resource protection area, after all, the real cause of jadeite has always been a mystery.

And this seemingly non-renewable resource mining will be a little less, and when you have the ability to protect it, you should try to protect it, otherwise, in a few years, it is very likely that it will be really hard to find.

Qi Lipei shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually, we have always tried to persuade the government to mine, but there is no way out there, even if we find a vein, there is no way to transport the wool out." ”

I see!

Liu Yuhao smiled helplessly, and the unhappiness caused by the prospecting site just now drifted away in the wind in this laughter.

In fact, a long time ago, the Burmese could not dig the jadeite rough out of the soil, so they had no choice but to burn the pieces through with firewood, pour cold water on them to blow them up, and then pick up the green pieces.

Because cutting is time-consuming and laborious, this method is also commonly used to crush large blocks dug out of the ground. This is also an important reason why Liu Yuhao saw that the jadeite rough stones mined more than 30 years ago are not all complete.

Myanmar is an agricultural country, there are few advanced excavation machinery, and now the Qi Li Pei family has invested a lot of money, but the improvement in mining technology is not very large.

Except for a few potholes that use hydraulic drills, most of them still follow the ancient manual excavation. Most of the mining is not explored, it is all a matter of experience and luck.

Whether you can dig a better variety, no one has a bottom in their hearts, Burmese people are superstitious that jadeite has aura, as long as there is good luck, you can dig good jadeite. Despite the hardships, people continue to do the same year after year.

"It's time to eat, Brother Liu!"

Teng Yi rarely bothered Liu Yuhao, he knew that he couldn't win against Brother Liu, and there were a lot of sentry posts arranged around Li Feng, so he tried to care about his friends in life for the past two days.

"Don't take it to heart, the major general is very good, but he must be responsible for the whole family."

During the meal, Li Feng took the initiative to talk to Liu Yuhao.

In Li Feng's view, Liu Yuhao and Qi Li Pei are both masterpieces in the world, and they are both people who are convinced by themselves, but their starting points are different, and sometimes some disputes are inevitable, and the reason why he will take the initiative to persuade Liu Yuhao is also afraid that he will be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma.

Liu Yuhao first glanced at Li Feng in surprise, then smiled and said, "Brother Li, do you think I look like that kind of petty person?" ”

"Ugh"

Li Feng was stunned for a moment, scratched his head embarrassedly to show two rows of white teeth, shook his head and said, "It's not like it!" ”

That's it!

Liu Yuhao shook his head with a smile and no longer paid attention to Li Feng's strange gaze.

Because he was too lazy to defend what he had just done, he buried his head in dealing with the food, and most of the bowl of rice was wiped out by Liu Yuhao in a blink of an eye, and seeing Liu Yuhao's amazing amount of food, Li Feng actually laughed again.

Burmese people have been influenced by Han culture for a long time, and in Li Feng's view, only an open-minded person can do Liu Yuhao, who can talk and laugh freely after being rejected and not change his face.

It seems that Li Feng heard Qi Wanzheng teach him when he was a child, and what kind of things like a gentleman is frank and a villain has a cock, but he didn't like to study when he was a child, so it's good to be able to remember Banla.

Therefore, Li Feng's admiration for Liu Yuhao has invisibly increased by one point.

However, Liu Yuhao didn't know the thoughts in Li Feng's heart, and there was no need to know.

After eating, the dry food for noon was prepared, and the people of the hundred or so gathered again and set off, because of the rugged mountain road, this group of people actually pulled two or three miles back and forth quite spectacularly.

The second day was significantly slower than the first day, and by the time it was getting dark, it was less than 30 kilometers.

Without it, it was only because the whole team had fully entered the depths of the mining area in the true sense of the word.

"Brother Liu, I think we should go to the vicinity of the Qindun River first today, many families have not really invested in jade mines there."

Qi Lipei wasn't doubting Liu Yuhao's ability, but he was very worried about the current situation of the family, so his tone was a little stiff when he spoke.

But he is also right, the jade deposit in Myanmar is divided into three ore belts from north to south, the northwesternmost is the Houjiang to Leida ore belt, and the middle is the main ore belt centered on Pa Olive, and most families gamble on this as the center.

The Qindun River is in the southernmost part, because this mining area is not connected to the main mining area, and the transportation is convenient, the area is small, so the output of jadeite is relatively small, not the main mining area, Qi Lipei believes that in those places it is more likely to gamble out the vein.

Liu Yuhao covered his mouth with a wet handkerchief, shook his head and smiled, and said: "Tomorrow, if there is any progress tomorrow, I will consider the Qindun River basin you mentioned." ”

The roots of dead trees in the primeval forest collect a large amount of toxic gases, which do not seem to harm people in normal times, but once it rains or accidentally breaks the roots of dead trees, the harmful gases in them will seep out of the soil, which is difficult to prevent.

In layman's terms, this toxic gas is what people often call miasma.

Liu Yuhao has an ability to protect his body, but he can't always release his ability, Li Feng asked everyone to do this for the sake of safety, so Liu Yuhao did not refuse from the beginning.

If any outsider comes to Burma in the future and sees a group of people who are equipped like this, they must have just come out of the mountains.

Qi Lipei nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, everything is up to you, Brother Liu." ”

said that, but Qi Lipei's face always had deep worry. Liu Yuhao was recommended to the family by him, if the jade mine was raised this time, Qi Li Pei's future position as the head of the family would be permanent, but on the contrary, it would be dangerous.

He also has a cousin, who has always been the highest operational commander in command of the army, although Qi Wan's cousin didn't dare to make any outrageous moves when he was alive, but if Qi Li Pei spent a lot of family funds and returned home, that cousin who was not very peaceful would have something to say.

But there has always been an unwritten rule in Myanmar that all actions must be carried out by gambling experts while the gambling mining team is out of the country.

For their team of hundreds of people, Liu Yuhao is the supreme commander, and even Qi Lipei can't go against the commander's wishes for no reason.

Before dark, Li Feng found a place with a water source and set up camp.

Teng Yi walked up to Liu Yuhao and sat down, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, we can't wander around the mountains so aimlessly, right?" ”

"Do you think I'm wandering around with everyone?"

Liu Yuhao picked up a piece of dry grass and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, as if the grass root was the most beautiful delicacy in the world.

Teng Yi naturally didn't have that idea, but many people complained along the way, Teng Yi was afraid that after a long time, once this emotion spread, it would not be good for Liu Yuhao at all.

But how did Teng Yi know that the reason why Liu Yuhao wanted to take these hundred or so people for two days was to investigate the terrain on the spot.

Whether it is Qi Li Pei or Masanda, the enthusiasm of the generals of these two families for Liu Yuhao comes from Liu Yuhao personally saying that he can gamble on the jade mine.

In the future, the jade mine gambled out will inevitably be in the hands of these two warlords, and it is easy to say that the time is short, but what about the long time?

If there is a dispute between them because of the distribution of interests, they are outsiders and do not have the control of the army, will the two of their families still treat Liu Yuhao as politely as they do now?

You don't have to think about it, the answer is just around the corner.

It is impossible for Liu Yuhao to travel back and forth often in the mountainous areas of northern Burma, and Xue Haoran has no chance to go out of Kracom's territory and run into the sphere of influence of other generals.

He happened to be able to take advantage of this opportunity to take a good look at the nearby terrain and landforms, so that Xue Haoran would not be ignorant of this place after the sudden situation in the future.

"Don't worry, you should have an eyebrow tomorrow."

Liu Yuhao smiled and winked at Tengyi.
