"Wang Ding, drink more, this wine is still brewed with a tiger's whip when I was young, you also have another person, it's okay to drink more, bring a few more when it is, this thing is not rare here......"

Wu Gang knows about Wang Ding and Bi Yue, and when it comes to the current relationship between the two, Wu Gang also knows the truth, otherwise Wu Gang can't treat Wang Ding so well, and the two are still relatives.

It can be said that he brought back the tiger whip, and Wang Ding, who listened to it, was red-faced, and couldn't help but cry in his heart, buddy is still young, it seems to be ...... I don't think I need it yet.

"What a good young man, if you were in Burma, you would be able to find a few more daughters-in-law."

This...... Looking for more daughters-in-law? Is that okay too? ”

Wang Ding put a piece of braised pangolin between his mouth, and he didn't put it in his mouth for a long time, and asked stupidly, causing everyone to laugh.

"Polygamy is okay in Myanmar, but if this daughter-in-law marries too much, it is not necessarily a good thing."

It turns out that in this part of Myanmar, due to the large number of ethnic groups and their own rules, there is no government law at all, such as when a thief is caught, he is often beaten to death by onlookers, which is not a crime in Myanmar.

The government of Myanmar basically does not care about anything, such as internal disputes in various villages, and the village elders mediate according to local customs, which is generally fair.

And Myanmar doesn't seem to have any concept of nationality, it is a land of real "freedom and democracy", you don't even need to become a Burmese citizen, you only need to practice in a local monastery for 7 days to get the local customs recognized. From then on, you will be recognized by Burmese society, even if you have a complete Burmese man's personality.

This would give them the same rights as the local population, with the possible exception of the right to vote. However, there seems to be no election in Myanmar, where you can marry and have children.

Myanmar is a country with seriously low productivity, and the problem of survival is the primary problem that ordinary people need to solve. Of course, the person to marry does not necessarily have to be single.

Polygamy in Myanmar may seem funny, but it also has a positive side to women.

For example: unless the woman has committed dishonorable behavior. Otherwise, divorce is absolutely forbidden, and you must not abandon it from the beginning, to use a phrase that is often said in Western churches: no matter poverty or illness, you must support her for the rest of your life.

Since women are in charge of labor. Men are responsible for all household chores: cooking, laundry, and taking care of the children. According to the average level in Myanmar, if you have 3 children and 9 children, then there are a total of 11 people who have to do the housework.

When Wang Ding heard this, he was chilled, thinking about the situation of a big man carrying one on his back, holding one in his arms, and a group of bare-ass children behind his buttocks, Wang Ding shuddered. This Burmese old man is a little miserable, right?

Maybe some friends will say that the day is a little miserable. But the night sex is happy, live the day of the groom every night, but this is not necessarily a good thing, in this part of Myanmar, the concept of "fairness" in traditional customs is also deeply rooted in all aspects of family life, you must treat each of your wives equally, and it is popular to pay the rituals of the Zhou Gong.

If some of these wives you marry are more beautiful and want to prefer a little more, then you can't, this will be unanimously condemned by public opinion, and doing what to do in the same room has become a moral obligation here, and many students will have no sexual interest.

"Brother Wu, can't men work in the fields, and women take care of their children at home?" Qian Le asked with interest.

Wu Gang shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Myanmar is different from our China, if one person has three wives and let three women take care of the housework, then the farm work of four people must be beyond the burden of one man."

And if one man and two women go to farm, the two women who farm will definitely worry that their children will not be well cared for by another woman, and it is easy to have conflicts.

Therefore, the only reasonable institutional arrangement is: let all women go to farm, and men stay at home alone to take care of children, and these wives and wives generally have a very good relationship, and they are almost the same as sisters. ”

Wang Ding was dumbfounded by Wu Gang's words, this is a damn fair distribution.

After Wu Gang introduced the marriage customs of Myanmar, he looked at Wang Ding with a smile and said: "How about it, do you want me to find a temple for you, go to live in it for seven days, and then you can enjoy the treatment of the Burmese people, with your net worth, I am afraid that a lot of people are rushing to marry your daughter to your ......"

"Don't, Brother Wu......" Wang Ding raised his hands to make a gesture of surrender, causing everyone to laugh, everyone was joking with Wang Ding, the atmosphere on the wine table was very harmonious, although Wang Ding didn't dare to say it, his heart was hot.

After eating, Wu Gang arranged for Wang Ding and Qian Le to live in the guest room, there is basically no entertainment here in Myanmar, after 12 o'clock in the evening, it became very quiet, Wang Ding, who was tired after a day of drinking, fell asleep after taking a shower.

When he woke up the next day, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, Wang Ding hurriedly got up, washed up briefly, and walked out of the room.

Wu just walked into the small courtyard where Wang Ding lived, and after seeing him come out, he said hello and said: "Wang Ding, go to breakfast, don't rush out in the morning, let the two professors rest more, by the way, I won't greet you, go to the hotel to have a look first......

Wang Ding nodded, he knew that the two of them yesterday were really tossed lightly, and the few times they vomited halfway, even the yellow bile water was almost vomited, even if it was noon, they might not be able to ease up.

After Wu Gang left, Wang Ding looked at Qian Le with a little nervousness, and Qian Le was holding a map of Hpakant, comparing it with the location of the sun flag on the display screen of the digital camera.

Yesterday, when he saw that Hpakant was being excavated everywhere, Wang Ding's hope in his heart was not very great, maybe the treasure of the year was dug up by the jade miners.

After Qian Le looked at it carefully for a long time, he said confidently: "Brother Ding." The location on this map, about thirty kilometers into the Savage Mountain, should have been considered to be deep into the mountain. It's off the beaten track and shouldn't be discovered......"

"Savage Mountain?!"

Wang Ding was stunned for a moment when he heard this, before coming to Myanmar, Wang Ding, who had read a lot of relevant information, was no stranger to this famous name.

Savage Mountain was the place where the Chinese Expeditionary Force was defeated for the first time, and tens of thousands of defeated Chinese soldiers were swallowed up by that mountain. I didn't expect that the island country would have such a day in the future, and it would be besieged there.

The city of Hpakant is located on the edge of the Savage Mountains. The birthplace of the jadeite, the Wulu River, flows through the middle of Hpakant City, and the so-called Laokeng Jade Mine is basically on both sides of the Wulu River.

"Thirty kilometers. So be it. This is put in advance, and after seeing the Emerald Mine, see if there is a chance to go there to have a look......"

Thirty kilometers is not very far in Wang Ding's mind, with his own and Qian Le's physique, even in the mountains, three or four hours is enough to go back and forth, he is wondering if he is looking for an excuse to hunt and go there with Qian Le to have a look.

Already in Hpakant. The treasure is close at hand, although the two of them can't take it out. But if he doesn't take a look, Wang Ding will not be reconciled in his heart, if the treasure is still there, he will always find a way to get it up in the future.

Wang Ding and Qian Le had been studying the map, and at noon, they received a call from Wu Gang, who was accompanying the two professors and asked his driver to pick up Wang Ding and Qian Le, and repeatedly emphasized that the two of them should wait outside the house and not go out of the city within the city.

Wu Gang is for the sake of the safety of the two, in this place, the major jade companies are not compatible with each other, and they all have a group of mercenaries, assassinations between each other happen from time to time, maybe they entered the city yesterday, they will be targeted by some ill-intentioned forces.

Assassination and kidnapping of Wu Gang, those powerful forces do not have the courage to do so, because in that case, there will be turmoil in the whole Hpakant and even in Myanmar, but some powerful forces can still do it by seizing Wu Gang's guests and doing some coercive things.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the driver I saw yesterday drove the car to the door of the house, and when it came in, it was one car, but when it drove out of the city within a city, five more cars followed.

After a night's rest, although the two professors still couldn't hide their tiredness on their faces, their actions were already unhindered, and the two of them were also anxious to see the birthplace of the King of Jade.

Myanmar's special geology and landforms are irresistible to all geologists.

After meeting Wu Gang and others at the hotel, a convoy of 7 vehicles drove out of Hpakant City and drove upstream along the clear Wulu River.

Although the banks of the Wulu River have long been mined, the river that feeds the people of Hpakant is still crystal clear and flows quietly through the city of Hpakant.

The car drove upstream along the Wulu River, and the scenery along the way was very beautiful, with wide banana trees, dense jungles, and gurgling rivers, just like in the painting.

At intervals along the Wulu River, there is a chain bridge with wooden planks on it, and there are a lot of people coming and going, most of them rushing to Hpakant Bazaar.

These people include Hpakant locals who have been cultivating for generations, and there are also many people who have come here to fish the world, and you must know that Hpakant is the intersection of Mandalay, Mong Kung and northern Myanmar to feed grapes.

In addition to jadeite, there are also abundant gold, silver and copper mines buried under the land of Hpakant, including teak from the forest, which are all tradable sources of jade, attracting all kinds of people who come to Hpakant with various purposes.

And in addition to these, when people talk about Hpakant, they will always say that Hpakant is run by three lines, namely the white line, the red line, and the green line.

Baicheng is referring to heroin, which is close to the border between India and China, and has always been a place where drug traffickers are active, and many drug lords wanted by Interpol are hidden in places like Hpakant.

The red line refers to the Burmese special ruby, which is also very famous in the world, and the green line is naturally jadeite.

One hundred and fifty kilometers up and down the Wulu River, with Hpakant as the center, there are hundreds of large and small jade mines such as Longtang, Xiangba, Huika, Mogang, Dakanmu, Dongmo, Houjiang, etc.

Among them, there are ten famous mines with a long history, all of which are located in the upper and lower reaches of the Wulu River, and those new factories. Most of them are in the Tomo area, where the mines are bare, and a large amount of exposed rough stone is directly visible to the outside. It's just that it doesn't have the kind of skin of the old pit.

After driving for more than an hour, the convoy came to the foot of a mountain, and after the people in front of the car got out of the car to negotiate, the checkpoint at the foot of the mountain moved the roadbed that blocked the road.

The convoy drove along a not very wide mountain road to the halfway point of the mountain, parked on a flat slope, and everyone walked down.

"Brother Wu. Is this your mine? It's spectacular......"

Half of the mountain on the opposite side was almost bulldozed, below Wang Ding and the others. There were hundreds of people busy, and the excavator called the "Strange Hand", with a roaring sound, kept pulling stones out of the mountain wall.

The skilled worker next to him immediately stepped forward. Identify the stones that the strange hands have pulled out. There are those that are struck with a hammer, and there are those that are seen by all eyesight, and as long as the stone is felt, it is immediately loaded onto the car, and when it is full, it is transported outward. This is the primary mine.

Wang Dingzhi said that primary ore refers to the first existence in the earth's crust, after weathering. A type of mineral that still remains in the soil, channeling through the jadeite produced by this primary mine. Most of them are colorless varieties.

Moreover, the quality of primary jadeite is often very general, far less than the quality of jadeite produced by secondary minerals such as iron and copper, because the formation of jadeite color, the condition is that there must be the existence of secondary minerals, so those colorful jadeite growth rod around the land, there must be associated minerals. Five minutes later, the crowd rounded a mountain path and were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.

From that half, the mountain is still intact, but after bypassing this mountain road, there is a flat river in front of you, half of the mountain has been bulldozed, and there are several deep pits underground.

Seeing someone coming, several soldiers guarding the periphery immediately surrounded them, and after negotiating with the people on Wu Gang's side, they did not ask for a search, but stood not far from a few people with guns, watching their every move. "This ...... This is all jadeite? ”

In a large pit that covers an area of more than 50 meters long and more than 40 meters wide, Wang Ding climbed the ladder to the bottom of the pit, and looked at the stone "jade" in front of him in disbelief

The surface of this hill-sized jadeite is full of white crystalline substances, and if you look closely along these crystals, you can occasionally find some green, but the water is very poor, and even the bean seeds cannot be reached, which belongs to low-grade jadeite.

Wang Ding turned around the giant jadeite with a length and width of dozens of meters, and found that in all parts of this jadeite, there were deep holes dug in, presumably to explore the quality of the jadeite inside.

It's just that this piece of material is very consistent, Wang Ding observed it with aura, and it does contain a large amount of jadeite and jade meat, but the quality is the same as what you see outside, and it is a low-grade jadeite variety.

If this piece of jadeite is untied, those stalks can only be made into some trinkets for dozens of dollars at most, it is better to put it like this, if the Myanmar government has a way to move it out, build a museum and collect tickets to exhibit it, it can also make a profit.

"It's 36 meters long, 126 meters high, and extends 19 meters inward, which is incredible, and the reason why this primary ore produces color is probably in the late stage of jadeite formation, when the earth's crust changed, and a liquid invaded it, producing ionic action, causing these green veined jadeite.

This also destroys the structure of the entire jadeite, but such a large piece of jadeite is equivalent to a small vein, which is incredible......"

Professor Ma and Professor Liang went down to the bottom of the mine, pulled the tape measure and began to measure it, and they were busy for more than ten minutes before they measured the volume of this "King of Jadeite", and explained the reason for the formation of this piece of jadeite to Wang Ding and Qian Le, who went down to the pit together.

"It's big, but the material is too bad, and the carved thing is ten or eight pieces, and if it's glass, it's worth a lot......"

Wang Ding said with a smile, but his words attracted the disdainful glances of the two teachers, glass species, what are you kidding!

If this is a piece of jadeite planted in glass, then it can buy the entire Burmese government, and it will not be able to stay here and take it out? With the poor jingle of the Burmese government, it would have been sold long ago.

After more than half an hour, Wu Gang greeted a few people above, and he invited two professors, Ma and Liang, to come, mainly to find ore veins for him, and to take them here to visit, just by the way, this old pit mine has been discontinued, except for this so-called "jade king", there is nothing else to see.

Wang Ding was sitting in a car with the two experts this time, and after seeing the piece of jadeite just now, the two of them were very interested, and they didn't feel that the road was bumpy, and they kept talking about the piece of jadeite.

Wang Ding also learned some knowledge on the side, he only knew that the jadeite was quarried from the stone, and now at least he understands some of the formation factors and environment of the jadeite.

After descending the mountain, the convoy drove away from the Wulu River and turned into a fork in the road, which became more and more difficult to navigate, and after nearly two hours, stopped at the entrance of a bald mountain, but all around it was a dense forest.

At the foot of the hill were a few large trucks, more than twenty houses made of wood, and more than a dozen people with weapons, walking back and forth there, and when they saw the convoy coming, they all gathered around.

You can't climb the mountain here, but you have to take the cable car up, Wang Ding and Qian Le are the second wave to go up, there are just two of them in this car, standing in it is very spacious, although the speed of the rail car is not fast, but after a few minutes, it also rises to the halfway up the mountain, looking at the figure under the mountain, it has become smaller.
