"Senior brother, how did you come to Myanmar?"

"In that era, it was not a prominent political situation, but a background component, my family was originally a middle peasant, and it was difficult to get out of it with the help of my master. Later, I found the daughter of a Kuomintang puppet officer as my girlfriend, and after the organization knew about it, I was asked to choose between my girlfriend and my cadre's membership and party membership. That's 69 years, more than 30 years. ”

Wuyang said: "Senior brother, I have been proud of the spring breeze in the past few decades. ”

"Decades of ups and downs, although the conditions are difficult, but with General Liu and them, it can be regarded as joy in suffering, the greatest gratification is that two people who love each other have lived together for most of their lives, and they respect each other like guests. What I can't let go of for decades is the master and his family. The defection of soldiers is a big deal at any time, and the master was already the commander of the independent battalion at that time, and he would definitely be implicated because of my affairs, and his family was also implicated. After I obtained legal status in Myanmar, I went back to the master several times, but I couldn't find it. ”

General Liu said: "The main reason is that I don't dare to look for it openly, if I find the old troops, I will definitely be able to find clues." ”

Wuyang said: "Now that you are citizens of Myanmar, you should not be held accountable." ”

General Su said: "Funding is also a problem, we are staying in this poor and remote country, tens of thousands of people rely on planting fruits to maintain expenses, where can I be allowed to spend all the time?" Besides, I'm not alone in wanting to find my relatives. ”

Wuyang said: "General Liu, General Su, I have prepared some gold this time. After we go back. You send people to the border to carry them. Not much, that's what it means. ”

General Liu said: "Secretary Li, did you prepare this by the government?" ”

"No, my own. My friend opened a gold mine, and I pulled two tons from him. ”

"Then we can't ask for it. Secretary Li, since your friend can send two tons of gold, he must be a big boss, can you invite us to cooperate with us to develop a jade mine? ”

"That's fine. I will answer you on his behalf. We can talk about the terms of cooperation now, and if we can negotiate it, we can start work immediately. ”

General Liu said: "Secretary Li, please sit in the room, let's talk one by one." ”

Wuyang and his entourage followed them to a wooden house, and after sitting down, Wuyang said, "General Liu, can you be sure that there are jade veins in your territory?" ”

"Of course. More than 20 years ago, we didn't live here, and jadeite didn't sell as well as it does now. I can't afford to sell for a price. But we in the capital know that Galeries Lafayette loved jadeite the most. So we started the scramble. After more than six years of fighting, we fought against the local aborigines and the remnants of the national army. Although we were victorious, we sacrificed a lot of people, we were already poor, and the little money we had made our lives difficult because of the purchase of weapons, the rescue of the wounded, and the care of the families of the dead. ”

General Su said: "Later, we were forced to be helpless, at the invitation of the Burmese government, we cooperated with the army to exterminate the rebels and drug dealers, and fought several battles in a row, so that we obtained legal status and some funds, but we were unable to mine the jade mine at all." Senior brother, let's talk about it now, on the basis of having a vein. ”

"Okay, even if we have a vein, how do the generals plan to cooperate?"

General Liu said: "Secretary Li, since you are the junior brother of Brother Su, let's call each other brothers, in fact, our general is also sealed by himself." Do you like it? ”

"Okay, Brother Liu, it's much more affectionate to be called like this."

"Brother Li, our condition is that we will send ore veins and labor, and you will be responsible for all the expenditures. The funds required include the construction of roads, bridges, the purchase of equipment, transport vehicles, etc. Also, after the wool is sold, you are responsible for helping us exchange most of the gold in currency, can you do that? ”

"No problem, totally. Brother Liu, if the ore vein is mined, how do we divide it? ”

"How about a fifty-fifty split?" General Liu asked.

"Yes. Brother Liu, I don't know how to set the price of wool you sell? ”

"Go with the market, if it's a big customer, or a friend of Brother Li's own mining and collection, we can also discount 5 percentage points."

"That's great, my friends are selling wool in Tengyue, they have enough money, they are completely able to eat, after all, collecting wool is much better than saving money."

General Su smiled and said: "Senior brother, don't think that our territory is just a little bigger, in fact, our land area is more than 600 square kilometers, every inch of land may have jade, every river may have diamonds, do your friends have so much money?" ”

"The canal is as clear as it is, but only the source of living water comes. They don't just collect and don't sell. Big brothers, how long do you think this cooperation will take? ”

General Liu said: "If it is in terms of economic interests, three years of cooperation is the best. In three years, our economic strength should be very strong, and we will have the ability to mine. But from the perspective of overall benefits, I think it is better to cooperate for a long time, why? Because the wool is mined, it still has to be sold, and the place of sale is mainly in our country. It is obviously not appropriate for us to sell it in China ourselves, and it is still a question whether those wool merchants will come to the door to sell it locally, and if we go to the Burmese government, we will definitely be able to get less than half. ”

When General Liu said this, he was actually discussing with General Su and General Xie, and General Su said, "I agree." ”

General Xie said: "I think that if Brother Lai's friend has the strength, we will try to open more and speed up the mining, after all, the situation in Myanmar is not particularly stable, especially if the government is not satisfied with us, we will not be able to walk around like we treat drug dealers." ”

Wuyang asked, "How much labor can you use?" ”

General Liu said, "There should be about 15,000." ”

"That's right, after we initialed the contract, let them take the drug lord away. I'll stay and look around. How many veins are suitable for mining. We will try to open as many pits as possible, and now a full set of mechanized operations do not require too many people, especially a lot of machinery, which does not need strong labor. ”

General Liu said: "Brother Li, so you are the plenipotentiary?" ”

"Of course, I have a lot of friends with me, and I can arrange managers for them. Laugh. Are you willing to be responsible here? ”

"Okay, I'll go back and complete the formalities, and I'll come over right away." Talking and laughing.

"Your treatment problem, is it a monthly salary or a share?"

"How do you say about paying, and how do you calculate the share?"

"The salary is 1 million yuan per month, plus 100,000 yuan, that is, overtime pay, carriage and horse expenses, tea expenses, etc., if it is shared, it can only be given at most 1/10,000. Of course, you will be allocated funds at the beginning. ”

Tan Xiao said: "Big brother." You're not a liar, you have so much salary, so little achievement. ”

"You don't know what's going on, of course you think so. You are not paid a salary, you are not alone, in order to complete the work, you also need to hire helpers, their wages are also paid in this, if you hire a lot of people, then you can't get a few dollars yourself. ”

"Then you can talk about the sharing."

"For example, if a mine produces 10,000 pieces of wool, at the current price, each piece is about $2,000, and you organize the wool to be transported to your home, and you can get $0.2 for each piece, and 10,000 pieces is $2,000."

"Big brother, how much wool can the mine produce in a year?"

"It depends on how you organize, a large mine can produce about 5,000 pieces a day, and about two million pieces a year, if General Liu can open 10 mines on their territory, it will be 20 million pieces, and you can get 4 million dollars."

"Can I add more?"

"It's unlikely. Think about it, the weight of each piece of wool is about 500 kilograms on average, and the total weight is 10 million tons, how many vehicles do you need to transport it back? ”

Tan Xiao smiled and said: "Big brother, I don't transport it to Tengyue, just find a place to store it on the border line of my country, and then transport it slowly in the future, the distance is not far, and each car can be transported a few more times." ”

Wuyang said: "Yes, let's start thinking about things now, and the contract will be drafted by you and General Liu." ”

"Okay."

Cai Limin said: "Master, in fact, there is no need to choose another place to store wool, our camp used to be the regiment headquarters, and it was very big, but now there are fewer people, as long as the military division agrees, you can store it directly." ”

Wuyang said: "No, we are going to store it for a long time, so it is better to buy a place to store it ourselves, and it is more profitable." ”

"Then just buy our old camp headquarters, just now we started to hit the trail, turning 1 kilometer in front of the border."

Wuyang asked, "Can you sell it?" ”

Cai Limin said: "Absolutely." When the troops were downsized, it was decided to sell them, but because they were located on the border, and because of the large area, the terrain was not good, it was a small basin with high surroundings and low in the middle, and it was difficult to use water for domestic use in the dry season, so no one cared about it at all. ”

"How big is the area?"

"The basin in the middle has 2,000 acres, and if you count the surrounding mountains, there are more than 20,000 acres. Master, if the land is added to the existing barracks, it may cost 200 million yuan, and if it is used to store wool, it is necessary to rebuild the barbed wire fence around it. ”

"Where is the jurisdiction of the place outside the camp?"

"3 kilometers to the west of the camp is the national border, and the other three directions are all from Jiangwan County, and there are vast forests and seas around it, and there are no people."

"Okay, that's for the best, let's go back and talk about it."

Tan Xiao came over with the draft contract, "Big brother, take a look." ”

Wuyang took it and read it, it was just what was talked about just now, it was just written into words, and there was nothing to revise. "Okay, so be it. Limin, you send the drug lord back immediately, and then send me 60 kilograms of gold in the cab of my pickup truck as a deposit. ”

General Liu said: "There is no need to take a deposit now, after all, the vein is still missing, let's talk about it when the exploration is completed." ”

Wuyang smiled: "When the exploration is done, it won't be so much." Brother Liu, if you really have a vein, in addition to the cost. I'm giving you $10,000 for each of you on behalf of my friends. Workers involved in production. A piece of 5 kilograms of gold per person can make everyone worry about food and clothing, and carry out production with peace of mind. ”

General Liu said: "Brother Li, you can't give so much, you can't give too much, but it makes everyone unwilling to do hard work anymore." ”

"It's not easy for us to grasp this degree, so I'll just hand it over to your leader according to this number, and how to distribute it is a matter for you to consider."

"Brother Li. We've prepared a light meal, let's take a break and eat. ”

Wuyang said: "Brother Liu, I can stay and eat by myself, but they have to go back, there are still many people in the family who care about this matter, and they are waiting for the results, we will go and arrest the drug lord now, let them take it back." ”

"Okay, give the drape to a few officers, and the four of us will go over and capture them first. Then the officers came and took the people away. ”

Several people made a few turns and entered a wooden house. A man and a woman inside were leisurely drinking tea, and when they saw a few people coming in, the two stood up, and the man with a meaty face said, "A few generals, there are strangers here today, is it our end that has come?" I'll still say the same thing, hand us over to the police, you won't get a penny, let us go, 10 million dollars won't be less. ”

General Liu said: "We have our principles, the matter of growing drugs and selling drugs is a mountain of gold, and we will not do it, you have been selling drugs for many years, and how many people have been poisoned, it is time for you to be punished by God." ”

The male drug lord said: "You are heavily guarded here, and it is difficult for us to fly even if we have wings, but we have to pull a cushion on our backs when we die." As he spoke, he pounced on General Liu.

Wuyang hit a small stone in time, and the two drug lords immediately fell to the ground, and Wuyang went up and made up another finger, so that he could wake up after 24 hours.

Cai Limin, Zhou Ke, and Tan Xiao, who came over, tied the two into meat dumplings respectively, and then Cai Limin mentioned the man, Zhou Ke mentioned the woman, and walked towards the place where the motorcycle was parked.

The motorcycle was not easy to tie up, so the two had to be tied to the backs of Cai Limin and Zhou Ke respectively, and Tanxiao was responsible for the vigilance task. Wuyang said, "Don't be nervous, they won't wake up until this time tomorrow." ”

Cai Limin said: "Master, then let's go back first, and I'll come back tomorrow." ”

"Okay, Xiao'er, Ke'er, you all go to the bank to apply for a card, tell the card number to Limin, and I'll transfer some money to you online."

Zhou Ke said: "Big brother, I don't want it, I have money in my family." ”

"The girl's family, how can she always reach out to her parents? I'll hand over the work here to Xiao'er, and if I have other jobs in the future, I'll leave it to you, right? ”

Zhou Ke laughed and said, "Big brother, how do you know that I will be willing?" ”

Wuyang said: "When I was talking to Xiao'er, your eyes told me. ”

"Okay, I hope my eldest brother can give me a job that can make money without such a complicated joke."

"Good. Go back and say hello to your parents. ”

After lunch, led by General Xie, the two drove motorcycles, another small leader rode horses, and led three empty horses with saddles, and set off towards the southernmost part of their territory.

After walking for two hours and arriving at a stronghold, General Xie said, "This is our southern gate, let's rest for a while and then start looking at the place." ”

Wuyang said, "Okay." Brother Xie, why did your territory stop here? Isn't it a flat river in the south? ”

"The flat land is only a few square kilometers, and we originally occupied it, but if the local tribes didn't have these lands, there would be no place to grow food, and we wouldn't be able to kill them all, right? So we traded land for peace. The most important thing is that on the hill behind this stronghold, there is a mine cave that has been dug in an unknown age, and it should be that jadeite was once mined, so that our goal has been achieved. ”

After resting for a while, General Xie arranged for someone to take Wuyang to see the mine. The so-called cave is actually a semi-open-pit mining site, which is mined about 1,000 meters along the slope of the mountain and then enters the middle of the mountain. The cave is not wide, no more than 3 meters. After two hundred meters, there is no more. At a glance at the noon sun, there was a jade stored in the stone of the working surface of the mine, and I was amazed at the great prospecting of the ancestors. In this rolling mountain, it is possible to find the exact location of the ore vein. I just don't know why I didn't continue mining.

Look at the two sides and the underground, there are ore veins, the ore veins on both sides can't see the width clearly, and the underground ones exceed the width of the ore hole. Returning to the open-pit mining place outside, the veins are not a few meters, but dozens of meters wide, belonging to the kind of intermittent, a lump here, a piece of jadeite there, this kind of vein is most suitable for mining wool.

Back at the stronghold, Wuyang said to General Xie, "General, this is indeed a treasure of feng shui. ”

General Xie smiled: "Do you think it can be mined?" ”

"Absolutely. But your houses have to be torn down and mined from the hillside in front of them. ”

"Wooden houses are easy to dismantle and easy to build, it's not a problem, you'd better take us to the site and tell us where to start."

"Okay, Brother Xie, you may not be present everywhere, just arrange for your subordinates to understand clearly."

"If you're idle, let's go for a walk together."

"There is no axe or something, we have to cut the branches and drive the stakes, otherwise it will deviate a little bit when the time comes, and the excess excavated earth and stone will not be a little bit."

When a few people arrived at the bottom of the slope, Wuyang saw the place, drove a wooden stake, asked General Xie to drive a motorcycle, and began to climb the mountain with a soldier himself. The soldier is also strong and strong, and he has to exercise every day, and after climbing for an hour, his legs are a little weak when he walks.

There were no veins to be seen along the way, and Wuyang couldn't let go of it in his heart, so he ignored the fatigue of the soldiers, drank saliva and went down the mountain. Although it is not so costly to descend the mountain, the forest on the slopes is dense and the wild vines are entwined, and in many places you have to cut down the thorns and wild vines to advance. And you can't make a big bend and go around, because the detour will deviate from the vein.

At last they reached the bottom of the valley, and when Wuyang saw the ore vein again, he cut a mark on the tree with an axe, and climbed to the other side of the mountain.

The soldier who followed said: "Boss, I'm not going, I really can't climb, I'll take this stream to the west, which is the road you came from, and I will ask General Xie to wait for you in front." ”

Wuyang said: "It's okay, then you have to remember that this place can open two pits, just mine in the north and south directions, and in the north direction, I will also leave a mark." ”

The soldier hurriedly agreed.

Wuyang walked up and down the mountain for two hours, and it was almost dark before he saw General Xie and the two. General Xie said: "Brother Li, it's hard work. ”

"It's okay, I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, but I'm not a pampered person. On both sides of this section, a pit can be opened, which is also mined in the north and south directions. It's a pity that it's late today, so let's mark the north side tomorrow. ”

"Good. Brother Li, we now have 5 pit farms, and if you work hard tomorrow, you will definitely be able to do it. ”

Wuyang said: "If you are lucky and can find the ore vein, it will be no problem to open a few more pits." ”

General Xie said: "As long as you have the ability to open, let's open as much as possible, will we still be afraid of too many gold and US dollars?" ”

"Brother Xie, do you have any plans after you have enough gold dollars?"

"What can you do? It's just to live a good life. ”

"Brother Xie, I have a Jianyì."

"What a good idea, let's hear it." (To be continued......)
