Ye Qing smiled and shook his head: "No, it's jealousy. You are jealous that my skin is fairer and finer than yours. This is a woman's instinct. By the way, why are you avoiding my questions?"
Mu Ling was silent for a moment: "Okay, I admit that I am jealous and avoid your questions because only when we are naked can I clearly guess what you are thinking."
"The thoughts in my heart." Ye Qing thought about it and understood: "You think I am taking advantage of you Lisu people."
Mu Ling nodded affirmatively.
"Humans are the only race that can obtain what they need through exchange." Ye Qing said with a smile: "I have money and supplies, but I need various ores to make more money for me.
The Lisu people are good at mining. Therefore, I provide money and materials, and the Lisu people use labor to exchange for what they need. This is a fair exchange of interests. "
Mu Ling stared into his eyes and asked cautiously: "Don't you have any ill intentions towards us?"
Ye Qing suddenly realized that this was Mu Ling's real purpose for playing this game today, and frowned: "Is there something wrong with the Lisu tribe?"
When he asked this, he was actually not too worried. This was because the ethnic structure of the Lisu people was extremely loose. It was originally connected by clan organizations. In the process of constant wars and migrations, clan organizations have ceased to exist in name only.
Mutuze, the clan leader, or even the elder of the big clan, the elder of the second clan, the elder of the third clan, etc., are actually just a few prestigious elders selected from several villages. Their responsibilities are to resolve disputes internally, lead production, and preside over sacrifices; externally declare wars, conclude covenants, collect tributes, and dispatch servants, etc.
In modern times, clan leaders are actually second-level drug dealers, and village leaders are third-level drug dealers.
The tribesmen are drug addicts.
Therefore, the current Lisu people are actually a complete drug-taking network.
Drugs serve as analgesic, calming and fatigue-relieving effects among miners.
As for the dangers of drugs, no one cares.
The hard work and the dust raised by mining gems have greatly shortened the lives of the Lisu people. Especially in the later stages of pneumoconiosis, the pain is indescribable. This leads to the fact that only prohibited items are good medicine.
It's cruel, but very realistic.
The current scene was very strange. Mu Ling was naked but bowed in thought.
But Ye Qing didn't look at it in vain. After all, the little girl's body was remarkable.
After coming here for a full minute, Mu Ling looked up at him and said, "You're right, we just use the gems we dug through hard work in exchange for what we need for survival. As for higher-level things, we simply don't dare to hope for them.
However, I need you to swear on your most beloved woman that you will always be kind to the tribesmen who enter the Libodong mining area with you. "
Ye Qing chuckled and shook his head: "I came to northern Myanmar to make money, not to do charity. The only thing I can guarantee is that their life in Libodong will be better than that in the Mogok mining area. But the premise is that they really 's proficiency in mining gold."
The implication is that if they don't know how to mine gold, they won't be able to get out of the Libodong mining area.
He was actually very helpless when he said this.
Modern mining equipment is almost useless after entering Libodong.
No electricity, expensive oil, and no roads have restricted the economic development of these non-governmental areas.
War will only make them poorer and more backward.
And large-scale mechanical mining will definitely attract the attention of the military government.
Once the military government bosses determine that there is a large-scale rich gold mine in Libodong, the war will definitely escalate.
By then, even the Kachin Independence Army and the Benglong Army will not be able to stop the government forces from attacking and plundering.
Therefore, the best way is to designate Libodong as the activity area of the Kachin Independence Army and the Benglong Army, and the Daozhai Mountain Army will be stationed in the Meidang Nickel Mine. Quietly move in a few villages that are good at mining gold using primitive methods.
While mining nickel and copper mines, it also provides cover for mining gold mines. The mined gold is also smuggled back into the country.
Therefore, only the management personnel of the Red Star Group and the horse teams transporting supplies can enter the Lisu villages in the gold mining area, and they are isolated from the outside world most of the time.
This is absolutely unacceptable to the Chinese people.
But for Lisu miners, this is their life. Day after day, year after year, they eventually die in mining accidents or injuries.
Mu Ling looked at him disappointedly: "I thought you were more merciful than those Benglong Elders."
Ye Qing shrugged: "I can only say that they are evil capitalists."
The wood spirit asked sadly: "Do you know the responsibility that the witch shoulders?"
Ye Qing nodded: "In our country's mythology, there is also a witch. Her name is Jiutian Xuannv. The ancestor Huangdi defeated Chi You with the help of Jiutian Xuannv.
Therefore, in my understanding, a witch is a prophet, a guide, and even the god of war at critical moments..."
Mu Ling said firmly: "Since you know the responsibilities of a witch, you should understand that once my people are treated unfairly, I will lead them to resist."
Ye Qing burst into laughter: "Carrying a pickaxe and rushing towards soldiers equipped with assault rifles, only a little girl like you can think of such a thing and do such a thing.
Do you know that in the Mogok mining area, how many miners died from exhaustion every day in order to have enough food for their families? In order to support themselves and their children, the wives of the dead miners went to nightclubs, bars, hotels, and how many men... The body is full of joy. Dignity is worthless in the face of survival,"
He paused for a moment: "Tell my words to the Mutuze clan leader, and he will definitely understand and make the right choice. At least, I will treat the Lisu people as miners, not mine slaves."
Mu Ling gritted her teeth and remained speechless. She finally understood a very cruel reality. Ye Qing was not a Bodhisattva who saved people from suffering.
Ye Qing seemed to ignore the presence of Mu Ling and began to wash his body. He handed a towel to Mu Ling and said, "Wash my back."
The wood spirit glared angrily.
Ye Qing said coldly: "Don't think of yourself as a superior witch. If you want to save your people, you have to experience the suffering of your people."
Mu Ling took the towel blankly, stood behind him, and scrubbed his back with all his strength.
Ye Qing looked at Mu Ling in the mirror in front of him: "Actually, what you want to ask more is how to import prohibited items into Li Bodong!"
"You..." Mu Lingqi's little face was distorted.
"Forbidden goods are the source of all evil for you, but they are good medicine for the tribe." Mu Ling stood behind him: "I went to see Qiu Wu today. He and his brother Qiu Hu are willing to move the village there. ,but......"
