Raj told Ko Junshan that his father was a shipbuilder and had been in Yangon for more than 30 years, and that he himself was born in Yangon. Yangon is crisscrossed by rivers and is rich in teak, which is a good material for shipbuilding, so the shipbuilding industry here is very developed.

Gao Junshan encouraged Raj to be a qualified guard and learn more Chinese, so that he would become a great weapon in the future.

The next day, Gao Junshan decided to go for a walk on the street, of course, not in the way of wearing a dragon robe and sounding a gong to open the way, and that way did not see anything useful.

After breakfast, he changed into civilian clothes, took Li Derong to prepare a carriage, and went out, Huying knew, not worried that the emperor would go out alone, so he specially sent a guide surnamed Ge to follow Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan got into the carriage and sat in the back row, Li Derong and the guide sat in the front row, and the carriage left the headquarters compound and walked south along the main road.

At this time, there are not many people on the street, and you can see many women who have just gone to the market to buy vegetables, these women are dressed in different clothes, not only locals, Han Chinese, but also Europeans and a very small number of Africans.

The streets here extend in all directions, and Li Derong asked Gao Junshan: "Your Majesty, where are we going?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Let's go to the temple first!" Wherever there are larger temples, go there. ”

Li Derong said to the Ge guide sent by the headquarters: "Go to this largest temple in the vicinity. ”

Guide Ge replied: "Then go to the Shwedagon Temple, the carriage turns right after the intersection in front, and you will arrive after two blocks." ”

Li Derong said: "Then go to the Dajin Temple." ”

The carriage sped up, Gao Junshan looked out the window, the further he went, the more pedestrians on the street, and the more carriages came and went, and the carriages on the road were all walking according to the rules of driving to the right, although there were more carriages, there was no traffic jam.

After walking for a while, the carriage stopped, and it turned out to be an intersection, which was a traffic artery with five forks, and an armed policeman acting as a traffic policeman in the middle of the intersection, waving a red and green flag in his hand, was directing traffic.

After a short wait, the carriage began to move again, and after passing the traffic post, it turned right and entered a more prosperous street.

In less than ten minutes, the street became crowded, and the speed of the carriage slowed down, Gao Junshan looked out the window and saw a sitting Buddha nearly five stories high on the side of the street, he thought that he had arrived at the place, who did not know that the carriage passed this sitting Buddha, and did not stop.

Gao Junshan asked, "Haven't you arrived yet?" ”

Ge guided: "What we just saw is the Nadaki seated Buddha in Yangon, we will pass through more than 10 Buddhist temples on the way, Shwedagon Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in Yangon, and then we will arrive at a street corner, we can see the tall pagoda of Shwedagon Temple when we look out. ”

Gao Junshan looked out with the guidance of Guide Ge, and sure enough, he saw a towering golden pagoda, the reason why it is called the golden pagoda is because the whole pagoda is paved with gold, shining with gold and splendor.

"This Shwedagon Pagoda was built 2,000 years ago by the Mon people, and it is the most sacred pagoda in Yangon, because the pagoda enshrines the relics of the four Buddhas, including the rod that detains Sun Buddha, the water purifier of the Buddha Zhengjue Jinshan, the robe of the Buddha and the eight hairs of the Buddha Shakyamuni. ”

At this time, the carriage stopped again, and Guide Ge told Gao Junshan to cross the last intersection now, and when the carriage crossed the intersection, he had to get off and walk, because there were too many people and the carriage could not pass.

After crossing this intersection, Gao Junshan and others got off the carriage, and there were a lot of people going to the Shwedagon Pagoda, and Gao Junshan decided to give up the idea of going to the Shwedagon Pagoda for the time being, so he said to Li Derong: "Let's change places!" ”

Li Derong said: "Master, where are we going?" ”

Gao Junshan thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the market!" ”

"There's a big market around here, and if we go up a little further, we'll see it across the street in front. ”

Gao Junshan said: "Very good, let's go over and have a look." ”

So Guide Ge led the way in front and walked in the direction of the market, Gao Junshan and Li Derong followed him, and more than a dozen plainclothes brought by Li Derong followed left and right.

Because it is walking, Gao Junshan has a deeper feeling of the streets of Yangon, first of all, the streets are very clean, which makes Gao Junshan very satisfied, clean streets are one of the symbols of a big city, people on the street are walking in a hurry, people dress up with a very distinct national characteristics.

The market here is really big, and the whole street is lined with merchants full of goods, and the street is full of shouting, although Gao Junshan can't understand many of them, but when you see the goods in front of them, you can know what they are selling.

Due to the early hours, there are not many people who come to the market to buy things, and the guide explained that in the evening, more people come here to buy goods, because at night, the street lights here will be lit up all night, illuminating the whole market as if it were daytime.

Because of the abundant water resources in Yangon, Chongwen's disciples built a hydroelectric power station on the Yangon River, and part of its electricity is used for street lighting in Yangon.

Gao Junshan walked to a stall selling bamboo baskets, all kinds of bamboo baskets were placed on the street in front of the store, the owner was a local, someone came over, he greeted everyone warmly in the local language.

Guide Ge is fluent in the local language, and Gao Junshan communicates with the boss through his translator.

"Did you make this basket yourself?" Gao Junshan asked.

The boss is a man in his early fifties, dressed brightly, holding a long bamboo pipe in his hand, probably the reason for smoking, and a smell of smoke when he speaks: "We don't have the ability to make up this ourselves, these are all imported goods, the guest officer has looked carefully, all of them are from China, and the handiwork is first-class, such as a fake package." ”

Gao Junshan immediately corrected the boss's words: "If you come from China, you shouldn't call it imported, but from the mainland, because Yangon, here, is also from China." ”

Guide Ge translated Gao Junshan's words to the boss in full, and the boss knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly corrected the statement.

It seems that the locals here still have a deviation in their sense of identity with their country, Gao Junshan wrote down this matter in his heart, and he wanted to urge Cao Minghao to carry out all-round publicity and education in the city, so that the locals here should remember that they are part of China, and China is their motherland.

Gao Junshan did not buy the bamboo basket of this boss, and went to the next one, which sells porcelain, is a female boss, dressed as a Han Chinese, she saw a guest coming over, first greeted in the local language, and when she found that the person who came spoke Chinese, she immediately changed to Chinese to sell.

"Don't miss it when you pass by, everyone comes to take a look, we sell authentic Jingdezhen ceramics here, with a complete variety, including blue and white, glaze red, ancient color, pastel, bucket color, new color, underglaze color, blue and white exquisite, everything."

Gao Junshan asked: "Boss, business is good, right?" ”

The proprietress said: "Today has not made a market, I see that the guest officer is a rich and noble person, today I have the fate to patronize our store, the guest officer you will choose the place, and the selected 20% discount will be given to you." ”
