    A few days later, Chen Zaixing, who received the required letterhead from his advisor Wu Hanmin, left Kong Zhang and Ji Jianzhang to purchase land near Kunming and prepare for the steel plant, while he went north to prepare to enter Myanmar.  Since ancient times, there have been two main roads from Yunnan to Myanmar - the southern route and the northern route.  The southern route starts from Kunming and passes through Xiangyun and Mengding to Lashio.  The northern line is Kunming-Xiangyun-Dali-Baoshan-Tengchong-Myitkyina.  Compared with the northern route, the distance of the southern route is shorter and the terrain is flatter. When the rebellion broke out in Myanmar, it was the southern route that Chen Zaixing and the Shun Army passed through. However, the northwestern Yunnan area passed by the northern route was densely populated and rich in products.  Fengfeng, Dali, Baoshan and Tengchong are all important towns in western Yunnan, and the trunk roads of the ancient Silk Road also pass through here. The locals have a tradition of going to Myanmar to do business since ancient times. Most of the Chinese businessmen in Myanmar are from the local area, and there are quite a few in the Upper Myanmar region.  Prestige, Chen Zaixing's plan to build the Yunnan-Myanmar Railway was inseparable from the support of these overseas Chinese in all aspects, so he entered Myanmar from the northern route this time, and when he arrived at Myitkyina, he changed to the waterway to Mandalay. Along the way, he had many exchanges with local business leaders.  Investigate the local customs and prepare for your big plans.  Along the way, Chen Zaixing visited local business leaders and paid attention to local transportation routes. By the time he arrived in Myitkyina, it was already mid-August 1886.  After arriving in Myitkyina, he first sent a telegram, then bought a boat and sailed down the river to Mandalay.  In the palace, Luo Lin is sitting on the throne, and his younger brother Luo Qin is sitting aside. Several monks and ministers are reporting political affairs to her. Although she appears to be as usual, those who are familiar with her will find that this shrewd and beautiful woman  The eldest princess is a little different from the past. Although she is still sitting on the chair, her soul has gone somewhere.  "Your Majesty! The report of the ministers has been completed. Do you think this is OK?" Maung Ji finally finished the report. He closed the document in his hand, stood up straight and waited for the ruling of Her Majesty the Princess Regent.  Although he was not Luo Lin's direct descendant, after the negotiation, he showed flexibility and fair stance in granting farmers freedom and allowing them to redeem their land. Luo Lin admired him very much, so he continued to promote his position.  Now Maung Ji is already one of the important ministers around Luo Lin, and he is also the leader of the moderate nobles in the Privy Council. He can be said to be one of the most powerful people in Mandalay City.  "Oh? Have you finished your report?" The reaction of the beautiful eldest princess was very strange. She raised her head in confusion, as if she had just woken up from a dream. Suddenly, Luo Lin realized what was happening, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.  Blushing: "I'll do as you say, Wu Maoji, is there anything else?" "No more, Your Majesty!" "That's it for today!" Luo Lin stood up in a hurry,  This unconventional behavior made the ministers a little flustered, and they quickly lowered their heads to send off their two sacred majesties.  After the two majesties left, the ministers began to exchange doubts. In fact, in a sense, these noble figures were as curious about the superiors as the women in the vegetable market.  Pretending to be powerful and dignified, when these big shots in Mandalay discussed their beautiful master, the topics were equally tacky and tasteless.  "There was something wrong with the look of Your Majesty the Princess just now!" "Yes, it's like a maid looking forward to a tryst with her lover!" "Maid? Your analogy is a bit disrespectful!" "It's a bit rude, but you  Don't you think this metaphor is very vivid? The maid at home will always be distracted when there is a tryst, as if to say, "You ignorant old guy, why haven't you finished it yet?" "Haha!  That's right. After all, Your Majesty is still a woman, and women are like this at this time!" Maang Ji lowered his head slightly. He did not participate in the chat of his colleagues. As a hard-working and capable bureaucrat, he still has a mountain of affairs.  Waiting for him to deal with it, whether it is granting freedom to farmers or redeeming land, it is not an easy matter.  While the ministers were joking and joking disrespectfully, Luo Lin quickly walked to his palace and whispered to his personal maid: "Prepare a soft sedan, or one without the royal family mark, and wait in front of the door. Also,  Wait for me to change my clothes, I'm going out soon!" Then Luo Lin quickly walked into the bedroom, and with the help of two personal maids, Luo Lin dressed up. As the true supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Myanmar, Luo Lin naturally has no shortage of beautiful clothes and precious clothes.  jewelry, and the two personal maids also have very high taste.  But what was different from usual times was that after changing clothes and jewelry five or six times in a row, Luo Lin still felt dissatisfied.  Finally, the older maid asked carefully: "Your Majesty, can you tell us the identity of the person you are about to meet? This way we can more easily help you choose the right outfit!" Luo Lin did not  Answering immediately, she bit herHe opened his lips, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "It's Mr. Chen!" These two maids were close to Luo Lin and knew a lot about her thoughts. After looking at each other, the older one  The maid walked to the closet and came out after a moment, with an extra piece of clothing in her hand.  "Your Majesty, please try this one on!" After a while, Luo Lin walked out of the fitting room.  "Can you guys see it?" Luo Lin asked timidly.  "Your Majesty, please wait a moment!" The older maid picked up a hairpin from the dressing table and came to Luo Lin's side. She pulled Luo Lin's long hair back and stuck it with the hairpin.  He came to the front and took a look, clapped his hands lightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, Your Majesty, you can look in the mirror!" I saw a beautiful girl appeared in the mirror, with her long and translucent black hair pulled back.  A simple bun, the rubies on the hairpins emit beautiful light, reflecting the girl's white cheeks, the white silk dress wraps her body, the thin waist outlines the heart-stirring curves, and the round and white skin is exposed under the long skirt.  calf.  Luo Lin couldn't help but cover her cheeks with her palms, and her palms immediately felt the warmth of her cheeks.  "It's so beautiful, isn't it? Your Majesty, your beauty does not need to be decorated with any other gestures or clothes. It is enough to embellish it with that hairpin! Are you satisfied?" "Satisfied!" Luo Lin did it after a while.  After answering, she whispered: "You two go outside and see if the sedan is ready?" "Yes!" When the two maids went out, Luo Lin suddenly turned around in front of the mirror,  The long white skirt was rolled up, like a snowdrop.  When Luo Lin stood in front of the mirror again, her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were full of joy and expectation.  Since early Guo Quan resigned from office, Chen Zaixing, who succeeded him, has never returned, and later resigned. In fact, the person who served as the highest authority representative of Dashun in the Kingdom of Burma was Shi, the chief of the Hu Burma Academy.  All gone.  But today, this big man who had made great contributions in the recent incident and had a close relationship with the two His Majesties had refused all foreign guests and was meeting with an important guest.  "Resurrection, I didn't expect that after half a year I didn't see you, you actually went to Mongolia again and made such a great contribution!" Batu raised his glass to Chen Zaixing opposite: "Here, let me toast you!" "It's just because of people that things happen!"  Chen Zaixing finished his drink and said with a smile: "It's nothing!" "You can't say that! In less than two years since you were resurrected, you have conquered Burma in the south, expedition to Mongolia in the north, and have partnered with the two marquises Zao and Gao. If you say  It all happens because of people, no one will believe it! Although there are many talented people in the imperial court, who is like you who came from Hongwen Hall and has experienced martial arts? You just have to sit down like this.  If I can't enter the political hall in ten years, you can gouge out my eyes!" At this point, Batu lowered his voice: "Why do you want to resign? Do you really want to go?  Doing business? " "What's wrong with doing business?" Chen Zaixing avoided Batu's inquiring gaze and poured himself a drink: "Buy the cheap and sell the expensive, and chase the tithe, and enjoy life, isn't it?  Is it good?" "Huh!" Batu snorted, put the wine glass on the table, and said with a sneer: "I thought I was going through hardships with you, but I didn't expect that in your eyes, I was just an outsider.  Forget it, Chen Fusheng, you can drink alone, I won't accompany you anymore!" As he spoke, Batu had already stood up and was about to leave.  While he was talking, a person had already arrived from outside and said in a deep voice: "Sir, there is a sedan chair outside. I just want to see -" When the informant said this, he stopped talking and turned his eyes to Chen Zaixing.  Batu was unhappy in his heart and naturally said in a bad tone: "You are sneaky, just drive him out!" Upon seeing this, the informant hurriedly said: "The guy said he wanted to see Mr. Chen, and he gave me this thing, saying  It's as a voucher!" He also took out a folded piece of letter paper from his arms and handed it over. Although he didn't know who was in the soft sedan, he looked at the escort of several maids.  His demeanor and demeanor are extraordinary. He must be one of the upper-class nobles of the kingdom. This Mr. Chen is an extremely important person. He has just arrived in Mandalay and there are people asking for an audience. Naturally, he does not dare to act alone.  "Making lies!" Without waiting for Chen Zaixing to reach out, he grabbed the letter, opened it, looked at it, and muttered in a low voice: "Everything in Mongolia has been settled. The man should retire after his success. I don't know that beside the Yiluo River, beauties have their knees."  Next to me, there is Chen¡ª¡ª" After reading this, Batu raised his head in surprise and asked, "Is this your handwriting?" Chen Zaixing smiled and said nothing, snatched the letter from the other person's hand, put it in his arms, and turned to  As he walked out, Batu behind him realized what he was doing and hurriedly chased him out shouting: "Fusheng, is this why you resigned?"?Don¡¯t do it!  " Chen Zaixing just ignored him and walked out of the mansion. He saw a soft sedan chair beside the door. There were four or five maids standing beside the sedan to guard him. When he saw that he came out, he quickly gathered his clothes and bowed down. Chen Zaixing walked to the sedan chair and sighed.  The voice said: ¡°Is there a place for Chen in the sedan chair?  " No one in the sedan answered. After a while, a small white hand stretched out from behind the curtain and gave it a few gentle hooks. Chen Zaixing smiled, lifted up the front of his shirt, bent down and got in through the sedan door.
