Chapter 249 Entering Burma
With the new store in Liulichang Cultural Street, Yue Zhengyang smiles every day, and walks back and forth in the Cultural Street with two iron eggs all day long.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to plate walnuts, it’s that he picked up the walnuts and remembered what his master said back then.
So he just started playing with Tiedanzi, which can also exercise the control ability of finger strength.
Good days pass so quickly, and another year has passed in a flash.
After the New Year, Yue Zhengyang made an important decision, and he wanted to go to Yunnan.
Because last time he wanted the jade shop to bring some jade ingredients for him, but unfortunately he didn't want to, so he decided to go there in person.
When he told Pei Hongying what he wanted to go to Yunnan, she complained for a while, and in the end, Yue Zhengyang did not mention this matter.
For several days, Pei Hongying saw Yue Zhengyang being depressed, and finally felt sorry for her husband and decided to let him go to the far door. However, she asked Yue Zhengyang to set a date for her return, otherwise she would still be worried about Yue Zhengyang going out alone.
Seeing that Pei Hongying finally agreed to go to Yunnan, Yue Zhengyang happily picked up Pei Hongying and kissed her fiercely on the face.
Three days later, Yue Zhengyang truly embarked on a journey south of the colorful clouds.
When we arrived in Yunnan, Yue Zhengyang was the first stop to Tengchong.
Because Tengchong is a famous literary country and jade distribution center, and is also a famous historical and cultural city.
Tengchong was called Dianyue in the Western Han Dynasty, and Tengchong Prefecture was established in the middle of Dali Kingdom.
Due to its important geographical location, heavy troops were sent to garrison throughout the ages. In the Ming Dynasty, Stone City was built, called "the first city on the edge".
Tengchong, Yunnan is very close to Myanmar, so many people’s work here is related to gambling on stone jade.
Many people here will sneak to Myanmar and go to the jadeite ore mines to work for people.
After Yue Zhengyang collected jade several times, he met Shao Jiaming, a second son of Shao Jiaming, who worked in the Myanmar Jade Raw Mine.
Because of the complex geographical location between Tengchong and Myanmar, border defense cannot manage many places, which is why Shao Jiaming and his friends are convenient to enter and exit Myanmar.
"Brother Shao, can you take me to Myanmar? I want to buy some raw stones there."
Because Yue Zhengyang is very generous, Shao Jiaming gets along very well with him. In addition, Yue Zhengyang is from the capital, so he respects Yue Zhengyang more than three points.
Seeing that Yue Zhengyang wanted to go to Myanmar, Shao Jiaming smiled mysteriously.
"Oh, Boss Yue, I would like to advise you not to buy these gambling stones. Sometimes these gambling stones can make you lose your family. It's better to buy the materials. Although you spend more money, you won't lose money. You can make a little profit."
Regarding gambling stones, Shao Laoer saw too many rich people turning into paupers overnight.
"Don't worry, Brother Shao, I know what I know. This is the deposit I hired for you. When I come back, I will pay you the remaining 500 yuan."
Shao Jiaming was very happy about how easy it was to make so much money.
He asked Yue Zhengyang to stay at his house tonight and set off early tomorrow morning.
However, Yue Zhengyang refused him, and he still planned to stay in the hotel for a more comfortable time.
The two agreed to meet the next morning, and Shao Jiaming went home and prepared to go.
The next day, at dawn, Yue Zhengyang arrived at the place where he made an appointment with Shao Jiaming.
At this time, Shao Laoer had hired a carriage and was waiting for Yue Zhengyang here early.
"It's early for Boss Yue."
"Brother Shao, you're too early, have you had breakfast?"
"We've already eaten, let's go now."
Yue Zhengyang and Shao Jiaming jumped into the carriage, and the coachman drove the carriage forward.
To say it is a carriage, it is actually just a horse pulling a carriage.
Fortunately, there were straw mats in the cart, which made Yue Zhengyang feel much more comfortable when he sat in the cart.
Because the fog in Tengchong in the morning was relatively high, the driver was slow to catch the car. Yue Zhengyang simply lay on the cart and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in Tengchong in the morning.
On the morning of spring in Tengchong, Yue Zhengyang could see a large transparent blue in the sky, just like jade.
However, when passing by the woods and forests, he felt that the moisture was constantly vomiting in these forests, which made Yue Zhengyang feel a little cool in his heart.
The misty morning mist filled the woods, like a fairyland on earth.
However, Tengchong was still a little cold in the early morning and would not change because he was in the south.
The carriage quickly took Yue Zhengyang and the others to the station. They took the long-distance bus to Ruili again. In the afternoon, Yue Zhengyang arrived at Ruili, the closest city in Myanmar, the real-life Myanmar.
Ruili is located in the southwestern border of China and is affiliated to Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture.
Ruili borders Myanmar, with a border line of 169.8 kilometers (including 105.1 kilometers of river section and 64.7 kilometers of land border), without a natural barrier.
After the reform and opening up, Ruili became one of the first batch of China's border open cities and is also the China-Myanmar border trade economic zone.
Yue Zhengyang stood on Ruili's road and felt like he had come to another country.
Because as long as you fight in Ruili, you can see the unique buildings in Myanmar, which are mainly based on the architectural style of rich religious colors.
Yue Zhengyang waited in place for more than ten minutes before seeing Shao Jiaming hired another carriage, and this time he actually entered the country of Myanmar by carriage.
And what they are going to today is Myanmar Phagan.
For ordinary people, Pagan is just a place name in Myanmar.
But for jade merchants, this is a holy place rich in jade.
Pagan is located on the west bank of the upper reaches of Wulu River in northern Myanmar, where jade raw stones are abundant.
There is a place opposite Pagan called "Lengma Gong", which means that it means that one inch of digging down and producing jade.
In the Ming Dynasty, Pagan had a history of digging alluvial sand mines, and it was also the earliest place to dig jade.
Yue Zhengyang and the others got off the carriage not far from the border. Yue Zhengyang followed Shao Jiaming into the mountain path that was smuggled.
They traveled through dense weed jungles and soon entered Myanmar.
I think these overgrown places also left footprints of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
Nowadays, some of the expeditionary forces are still left in Myanmar near the border of the motherland.
It was almost dark, and Yue Zhengyang and Shao Jiaming came to the gathering place of jade - Pagan.
When he arrived at Pagan Shao Jiaming, he took Yue Zhengyang to stay in a small hotel.
"Boss Yue, the conditions here are a bit difficult, I can only feel wronged that you will be fined for one night. When it dawns, I will stay in a better hotel tomorrow."
Yue Zhengyang signaled that it was okay, just staying there. This time he was not here to enjoy it, but to prepare a lot of jade and jadeite behind here.
As long as Yue Zhengyang successfully buys jade, even if he doesn't open a restaurant from now on, he will be a well-known rich man.
There are also places to eat in the small hotel. Yue Zhengyang and Shao Jiaming just ate a little casually and went to bed in a hurry.
That night, Yue Zhengyang did not sleep well. I don’t know if it was because of the problem of not being able to adapt to the environment or whether it was a stinky sweat and not taking a bath. After tossing and turning, Yue Zhengyang fell asleep in the middle of the night.
The next day, Yue Zhengyang slept until eight o'clock, and he was not in a hurry today, so both of them slept in a lazy sleep.
This small hotel does not have toothpaste and toothbrush, but fortunately, Yue Zhengyang has been prepared for a long time.
He took out a toothpaste and toothbrush from the space and started washing up in the morning.
This morning, Yue Zhengyang rarely did not have morning exercises. It’s not that he didn’t want to practice. In a foreign country, Yue Zhengyang didn’t want to expose his strength too much.
After washing up, after Yue Zhengyang and Shao Jiaming had breakfast together, Shao Jiaming wanted to take Yue Zhengyang to do two things.
The first thing I did was to help Yue Zhengyang exchange Myanmar currency. RMB was not circulated in Myanmar at this time, but the US dollar in Yue Zhengyang's hands was very popular.
However, his US dollars are all worth a lot of money, so it will be inconvenient to take them out if he buys something small.
Although RMB is not circulated, Shao Jiaming still has a way to find a place to exchange for the black market. He is half a local here, and he is very clear.
After receiving a Burmese currency, Shao Jiaming naturally took Yue Zhengyang to find a guide.
