After the group passed the Jiejiao Bridge, they completely entered this "enclave".

The streets are still very clean, at least the main streets are still very good.

"It seems that this place is not as lively as the legendary one. Isn't this the largest jade market in the country at present?" Liu Mo'ang looked at the cold street and asked in confusion.

"Haha, the largest in the country is now not ranked. The four major jade markets in Guangdong Province are bigger than here. This place can only maintain the name of the earliest jade market. Also, it is mainly a distribution center. The transaction volume of jade and red sapphire is not as good as that in Guangdong Province."

After a pause, Wen Xinggang continued: "But the jade market that I sued for a long time has been prosperous. When I was in the army, the jade market that I sued for was prosperous. I heard from our company commander that there had been a jade trading market a long time ago. However, two thousand years later, after the border trade zone became the first border trade special zone in Nanyun and even the country to implement special management models for domestic and foreign customs, the jade trading volume here immediately expanded a lot. Did you see the building over there?" Wen Xinggang pointed to a building about 300 meters away from the avenue on the north side of Guomen Avenue and asked.

Several people nodded. Although the building was about three hundred meters away from the eastern end of the Jiejiao Bridge and there was a large building in the middle, one could clearly see a corner of the building here.

"There is the jade trading market in Jade, which is currently the largest jade trading market and the earliest trading market established. Although there was a jade trading market in Jade before, it was very small and scattered. Later, after the establishment of the Border Trade Special Zone, Yucheng Industrial Company invested in the creation of this jade trading market. At that time, Jade Yucheng jade trading market covers an area of ​​only about five acres, but with the tax-free policy, this jade trading market quickly attracted many surrounding countries such as Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand and other jewelry merchants bringing jade and red sapphires to Jade Yucheng market for transactions."

"Before 2010, when jadeite was the most popular, the Myanmar jadeite public auction could be held at most three or four times a year, but after the number of Myanmar public auctions decreased significantly in 2013, myanmar became popular. At the most popular, about 6,000 tons of jadeite raw materials produced in Myanmar annually flowed into my country, of which 4,000 tons of entry through myanmar accounted for 4,000 tons. Therefore, this market has now expanded to 50 acres of land."

Several people looked at the market again in surprise, but they didn't expect that they would have such brilliant achievements in such a remote place.

"Now it looks a bit deserted there, because we were in the wrong time. It was afternoon. If we came here after 7 o'clock in the morning, we would see a lot of people. The number of jadeite sold from the market in the morning accounts for more than 80% of the day."

Liu Mo'ang smiled and said, "Okay, then we will get up early tomorrow. If we are willing to follow me to the jade market, we will come to the jade market. If we don't want to follow me, just walk around."

Everyone, including Mo Xiaolu, actually came to the market to take a look.

At this time, there were not many people on the street, at least far from the bustling scene I imagined. However, there are also benefits of fewer people, which allows Liu Mo'ang and his group to quietly appreciate this small town in the border area.

The group walked along Guomen Avenue to the end, and from a distance you could see a huge and imposing building standing at the easternmost end of Guomen Avenue.

"This is the Ruili Port Building, the real national gate. After leaving here, there is Myanmar. It is still very memorable here, and everyone can take photos here as a souvenir." Li Li explained as she walked.

The group stood in front of the yellow fence and started taking photos with the port building as the background. Some tourists around were doing the same.

Not only the port building, Liu Mo'ang and others also took photos in front of the "End of the World" stone tablet guarded by the two Qilin statues dyed golden at the ends.

Then everyone came to the famous Zhongmian Street, and after they arrived here, they immediately became lively.

To the north of this street is the border isolation wall between Jie Gao and Myanmar Mujie. On the south side of this street, there are a large number of shops and markets, but most of the things sold by these shops are mainly wood products with local ethnic characteristics.

As for jewelry and jade, it needs to be seen in a special jewelry market.

In the narrow alley, Liu Mo'ang and others could see many small processing shops filled with noise and dust. Many dark-faced people were busy in the shops, some were cutting stones, some were polishing, and some were carving.

"Most of the people who are engaged in jade processing in these processing shops are Burmese people from Myanmar. No one in the country is willing to do such dirty and tiring work now. Only these Burmese people who have escaped from Myanmar are willing to do such work." Wen Xinggang said in a heavy tone.

"People who escaped from Myanmar? Myanmar..." Zhang Jie asked after hesitating.

"What else can it be? Just war!" Wen Xinggang sighed.

"War?" Zhang Yucheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Brother Wen, is it Kokang war?"

Wen Xinggang nodded, "The third year after my transfer, just after New Year's Day in 2015, the situation in northern Myanmar became turbulent again. The war there even threatened the border security of our country. For example, in the second month after the war began, a plane in Myanmar crossed the border and dropped a bomb on our territory, causing casualties and injuries to our citizens. In April this year, shells and bullets fell into the side of my sister-in-law..."

"Ah?" Several ladies were shocked.

Wen Xinggang shook his head and sighed again, "The wars over there threatened our border security. You can imagine what the Burmese people over there are like! So, many Burmese people are now fleeing to our country. Although they are leaving their hometowns, they can always ensure safety in our country, which is much better than not being able to stay in their hometowns. So in recent years, there are many Burmese people who have sued here for escape!"

There are indeed many dark-faced Burmese people here, riding mobile vegetable vendors similar to building 70-small black motorcycles to sell vegetables, women sweeping the streets, workers cutting stones, Burmese women learning to cook in food stalls, Burmese girls standing on the streets, specializing in taking photos or taking photos for mainland tourists... More are beggars who escaped.

Liu Mo'ang and others even saw many begging monks among those beggars.

There is no way, even the monks in Myanmar have to escape from their hometown in chaos...

Seeing Liu Mo'ang and his group, a few pitiful children came up to beg for a while, they didn't even say "hello". The dirty little face had a flattering smile, but deep sorrow was hidden in their eyes.

There is no doubt that these children have escaped from Myanmar, which makes people feel distressed to see.

Chu Qian and the other women started to take out their wallets, and Wen Xinggang said in a deep voice: "Don't give more, just give one or two dollars to each person."

"Why? These children are so pitiful." Chu Qian was puzzled.

"There is no reason, just listen to mine." Wen Xinggang said seriously.

"Qianqian, Sister Xiaoyun, Aunt Zhang, just listen to Master Wen. We can't cause trouble when we come here."

Hearing Liu Mo'ang say so, they reluctantly took out some change and gave it to the children. The children who got the money immediately scattered...

"It is best not to be too kind here, otherwise there will be many Burmese people coming..." Before Wen Xinggang finished speaking, he saw a few girls wearing ethnic costumes with a large tray on their heads and some bananas on the tray also walked over.

Their Mandarin is very stiff, but it can be heard that they are selling the bananas they are holding.

Wen Xinggang refused rudely: "Sorry, we don't need bananas, we are allergic to bananas."

As he said that, he protected Liu Mo'ang and his group and quickly left there.

"These girls have escaped from Myanmar. On the surface, they are selling bananas, but once you want to buy them, they will ask you for photos. After taking the photos, they will ask you for money."

After Wen Xinggang said this, everyone understood what was going on.

Although these Myanmar victims who fled to China due to war are pitiful, this method is used to deceive tourists from the mainland.

But this kind of thing is really impossible to say, for survival...

The somewhat messy Zhongmian Street greatly reduced Liu Mo'ang's and others' travel. Not long after walking far, Mo Xiaolu clamored to go back.

Wen Xinggang stopped two red taxis casually. Their current location is still a distance from the Jieji Bridge. As long as the red taxis are within the Jieji area, it will cost five yuan wherever it goes. This price is much cheaper than Ruili city opposite the river.

Because Da Zhuangzhuang liked to see Ruilijiang, two taxis pulled them to the bridgehead of Jiejiao Bridge. Liu Mo'ang and his team planned to walk across the bridge and return to Ruili city.

Compared with the somewhat dirty and messy jade processing area of ​​Zhongmian Street, the Jiejiao Bridge is undoubtedly much better. The Ruili River, which is abundant in water, surging by the bridge. The lush vegetation on both sides of the river makes people feel refreshed.

Da Zhuangzhuang seemed to like the scenery here particularly, and he was clamoring to ask his mother to take photos and videos for him.

A group of people simply accompanied the little guy to play on the sidewalk on the bridge. But after playing for a while, a white Toyota Prado slowly stopped beside Liu Mo'ang and the others.

The car window fell and two familiar faces appeared.

Liu Mo'ang asked in surprise: "Brother Lei, Brother Feng, why did you two come here? Also, why are you two together?"
