    Myanmar, outskirts of Mandalay, Babu Village.  As the husband of His Majesty the Princess Regent of the Kingdom of Myanmar and the meritorious official who established the two His Majesties on the throne, Chen Zaixing obtained several territories in Myanmar. On these territories, there are fine teak forests, copper mines, and ruby ??mines.  , and an oil field near Ren'anqiang. In addition, he also had a territory near Mandalay that included a dozen villages. One of the villages was Babu Village. Chen Zaixing built his manor in  A very important reason for this village is that it was the site of the first battle of Dashun's expeditionary army into Myanmar a few years ago. It was also in a bamboo house in this village that Chen Zaixing whispered to comfort Luo, who was still a little girl at the time.  Forest.  Chen Zaixing preserved this bamboo house as a memorial.  After spending four tense days in the palace in Mandalay, Chen Zaixing returned to his manor under the protection of a team of Sikh guards. Of course, he also carried several bicycles he had just received from the British businessman.  When Chen Zaixing just returned to his manor, the first thing he did was to summon the manor's butler Kabu to ask about the new guest.  "Kabu, where is Mr. Bunji now? What has he been doing these days?" Chen Zaixing took off his coat and asked the housekeeper Kabu who was standing aside.  "Honorable master, the master of Bunji is swimming by the lake now. In the past few days, he has spent his time reading, hunting, fishing, swimming, and riding horses. Distinguished master, because of this master of Bunji, the monkey behind the village next door  The pheasants and pheasants are almost extinct, and he returns with a full load every afternoon." Butler Kabu replied carefully. Since Chen Zaixing and Luo Lin got married, this farmer from Babu Village has risen rapidly and became the steward of Mr. Wang's manor. For this  In a position that made him a little dizzy, Kabu became extremely cautious and even a little trivial after being excited and frightened.  "Really? Well, at least the neighboring village won't have to worry about monkeys eating their fruit trees and crops for a long time!" Chen Zaixing had already put on his shirt and was changing his coat with the help of a maid.  "But noble master, according to local customs, these monkeys are messengers of the ancestors and gods and cannot be killed casually!" Butler Kabu explained in a low voice: "So the villagers are very angry-" "Then what do you do?  Did you do it?" Chen Zaixing asked casually while choosing the color of his coat in front of the mirror.  "I exempted the villagers from two days of labor, noble lord!" Kabu replied.  "Well!" Chen Zaixing pointed at a bright yellow coat with his finger, motioning to the maid to bring it to him, and asked: "Didn't Mr. Bunji have contact with anyone he shouldn't have contact with in the past few days?" "No,  My dear sir, at least I didn't get this news. He has at least two loyal servants following him wherever he goes. ""That's it!" Chen Zaixing nodded with satisfaction, and the dressing maid hurriedly took care of him.  Putting him into the yellow coat, another maid carefully tightened his belt so that the folds at the hem of the bright yellow wide-brimmed robe made of the best thick satin hung neatly, as if  A row of Greek Corinthian-style temple columns made Chen Zaixing's posture more solemn.  "Let's go see Mr. Bunge!" "Yes, distinguished master!" Twenty minutes later, when Chen Zaixing's sedan arrived at the small lake, O'Neil.  Bunji was wiping his muscular body with a white towel on the shore. On the lake, several Burmese children sitting on a boat were pointing in this direction.  Beside him, two docile Burmese servants were holding his clothes and shoes and, at his request, passing over whatever Bungi needed.  "Chen, you are finally back!" O'Neil.  Bang Ji walked over to Chen Zaixing carelessly, completely ignoring that all his skin was naked except for the small area between his legs: "I thought you had forgotten me. It's been so long since last time."  It must have been a century since I saw you!" At this time, the two stood in for O'Neil.  Bunji's servant holding the clothes was already kneeling on the ground, his forehead and palms pressed against the ground.  "Chen, what are you doing here?" O'Neil.  Bang Ji stopped in surprise. He looked up and down at Chen Zaixing's clothes, and then at the servants kneeling on the ground on both sides. His eyes widened in surprise: "You are dressed like a sultan, a pharaoh, or a  King! " "O'Neil, Mr. Bunge, you are too sensitive! I am still the same traveling companion who was on the same boat with you a few days ago. I just changed my clothes. Everyone will change their clothes when they get home.  Isn't it?" Chen Zaixing smiled and gestured to the two servants to take O'Neil away.  Bunji's clothes were delivered to him, but he was very satisfied with the effect of his special choice of clothes. Since he was going to start negotiations, he hoped to give him some advice before the negotiations.Give the other party a hint that the negotiating party is a big man with great power and status within the kingdom, and any conditions proposed by such a big man cannot be changed or rejected.  "Are you satisfied with the hospitality you received during my absence these days?" Chen Zaixing asked O'Neil who had already changed his clothes.  Bungie asked.  "Yes, I'm very satisfied, except that the bottom of the lake is a bit shallow, which made my feet full of mud!" O'Neil.  Bunji pointed to his muddy feet.  "That's what happened!" Chen Zaixing nodded and called the housekeeper behind him.  "Honorable Master!" Kabu behind him quickly followed.  "O'Neil. Mr. Bunge needs a swimming pool. You immediately carve out a section of the lake, dig the bottom of the lake deep, and then cover it with the best white sand. Also, during the time Mr. Bunge is here,  Villagers from several nearby villages are prohibited from entering this water area. Do you understand? ""Yes, noble master!" Kabu didn't say much, took two steps back, and turned around to leave.  O'Neil on the side.  Bangji glanced at Chen Zaixing in surprise and asked: "Chen, you are really a wonderful person. You just spoke like a king! I now somewhat believe what Gillings said to me about you.  " "It's nothing, I'm just fulfilling my duty as a hospitable host!" Chen Zaixing smiled and made a gesture to invite the other party to get on the sedan: "Please get on the sedan! Let's have lunch together!"  of.  There are only four dishes in total, but they are all very exquisite. The fat bamboo rat smeared with shrimp paste and carefully grilled, the grilled pheasant smeared with honey, the mushroom and seabass soup, and finally the dessert made with honey, mango and crushed ice. The staple food is  Venison pie cooked with spices and saffron.  The drink is a bottle of fine Shaoxing rice wine.  Obviously after the large amount of physical energy consumed by swimming, Bunji has a good appetite. This kind of Western food with oriental characteristics is also very suitable for his appetite. He eats a lot, but when the dessert comes after the meal, O'Neill.  Bunge made a pause gesture and said with a smile: "Chen, you are really a mysterious 'Count of Monte Cristo' (the protagonist of French writer Alexandre Dumas's novel "The Count of Monte Cristo", famous for his wealth and mystery), I think even if it is true  The Earl may not be as comfortable as you are if he really exists. "Really? But you can indeed regard me as a noble. I have seven territories in the Kingdom of Burma. In these territories, I have no power."  No less than a king!" "Then shall I call you Your Majesty?" O'Neil.  Bang Ji laughed: "Okay, Your Majesty! Can we start talking about serious things then?" "Of course, you can at any time!" Chen Zaixing patted his palms twice, and two maids came forward to clear the table. Chen Zaixing  He ordered Kabu on the side: "Go to my study and get a map of Myanmar!" "Yes, my master!" A few minutes later, a map was spread on the table, and Chen Zaixing smiled and used his knuckles to  He tapped twice on the map: "Mr. Bunge, you can now choose the land for the plantation you need!" "You are really a generous nobleman!" O'Neil.  Bangji's eyes widened in surprise: "Do you have the right to decide if I just draw any piece of land on the map?" "That's not true!" Chen Zaixing shook his head arrogantly: "If you draw it  It is naturally impossible to include the sacred capital. But as long as the land you draw is within the territory of the Kingdom of Myanmar, it will generally not be beyond the scope of my power!" O'Neil.  Bunji shook his head. He walked to the map, observed it carefully for a while, and drew six or seven small circles on it with a pencil. While drawing, he said: "Chen, the scientific name of the rubber tree is Hevea hevea.  The climate requirements for planting wonderful trees are very strict. The annual average temperature is required to be 26-27 degrees Celsius, and the minimum temperature cannot be lower than 5 degrees Celsius. The annual rainfall is more than 2500 mm, the humidity requirements are very high, and the soil requirements are also very high.  "Thick. I selected these areas based on these conditions. If possible, I hope to conduct an on-site inspection." Chen Zaixing looked at O'Neil.  The areas drawn by Bangi on the map are basically in the south, especially the narrow strip between Thailand and the Andaman Sea, especially the area dominated by Mon State. The reason is also obvious.  The latitude is lower and it is close to the Andal Sea. The annual tropical monsoon will bring abundant rain, and the climate is more suitable for the growth of rubber.  "No problem!" Chen Zaixing turned around and ordered to Kabu behind him: "Go and ask Lieutenant Odo to come to my place!" "Yes, distinguished master!" A few minutes later, a dark-skinned, burly Sikh guard  Came to Chen Zaixing.  ? ???Lieutenant Otto, I now give you a mission.  You go back immediately to select forty loyal and reliable soldiers to escort Mr. Bunji to Mon State.  You have to obey Mr. Bunge just like you obey me and ensure his safety under any circumstances. Do you understand?  "    "yes!  "Odo gave a military salute to Chen Zaixing. "Very good, go down and prepare!"  Set off tomorrow morning!  ¡± There is another update in the afternoon!
